MIS OFHHI BIS
Happenings In the State of Inter
esting Import.
Tax Commission Adjourns.
The legislative tax commission
which has been in constant session at
the state capitol for Ihe past three
weeks, adjourned Saturday morning,
having practically completed the tax
bill to be presented to the legislature
at its fall session.
The adjournment of the commission
was taken until August 21st, when the
members will assemble at the capitol
to take up for consideration one or two
features of the bill, on which more
time and study is demanded, and for
the purpose of reviewing and redraft
ing the work.
As to the nature of the bill, the
commissioners have decided to remain
silent until the measure has been laid
before the house and senate.
It is the opinion of many that the
adjournment of the commission was
taken at this time principally to give
the members an opportunity to inves
tigate the practical workiugs of fhe
Little bill, to be found in the tax
digests now being returned from the
various counties. The remarkable in
crease in the amount of property re
turned throughout the state for taxa
tion is no surprise, since the act of the
legislature made necessary that result,
but it will be a surprise, it is said, if
the burden of the increased taxation
has fallen on real estate and particu
larly on farming property. It is the
opinion of Comptroller General Wright,
after only a passing investigation of
the returnp, that this unfortunate re
sult has come about.
The county digests reaching the
office of the comptroller general em
phasize the serious task before the
tax commission, and should it de
velop, after a careful analysis of the
returns, that in reality farming prop
erty has suffered most, it is said with
certainty that any bill tending to in
crease that burden will be fought bit
terly and with determination in the
legislature.

For Temporary Tax Exemption.
The Southern Industrial League
convention at the meeting in Atlanta
the past week adopted the following
important resolution:
“Be it resolved, That the Southern
Industrial convention pledges its in
fluence toward securing state and mu
nicipal legislation looking toward the
exemption from taxation, for a limited
length of time, of manufacturing en
terprises to be located within their re
spective states.”

Granite City Carnival.
The people of Elberton are making
preparations for a great midsummer
carnival to be held from August
21st to August 25th inclusive.
It is to be known as the Granite
City carnival, and judging by the work
being done by Elbertou’s most prom
inent citizens in its behalf it is going
to be one of the events of the summer.
* *
Bacon's Trolley Line.
Recently the mayor and council of
Macon granted Hon. A. O. Bacon the
right of wny nlong certain streets of
Macon for the purpose of building a
street electric railway, to run to his
large landed possessions known as
Bacoufield, on the east side of the
Ocmulgee river. It is said that a
charter for the railroad will be applied
for at once, so the work of construction
can begin.

Building New Dormitory.
Dirt Ims been broken on the campus
at Forsyth for the new SIO,OOO dormi
tory to be built by the trustees of
Monroe college. The money for the
new building lias been secured and it
will be pushed rapidly to completion,
so as to be ready for the fall opening,
* * *
No Cut In Cotton Kates,
The proposed cut iu cotton rates
which has beeu agitating the Georgia
railroads the past several weeks, will
not be made for the present, at least.
This was the decision reached by
the railroad commission at tho meet
ing in Atlanta.
The roads declare that they were
not in n position to meet the cut
aud in some instances they went so
far as to say that the cut would mean
a confiscation of property to some of
the roads more dependent than others
on the cotton crop.
The question of cut rates has been
one of vital interest, since all the
roads in the state were interested and
the cut as proposed was to be so sweep
ing in its effects.
There is no item of freight so impor
tant to many Georgin roads as the cot
ton business, and the roads claimed
that a thrust of the knife at this source
of revenue would be the most disas
trous calamity that could come to the
weak roads.
* * *
Quarantining By Wholesale.
A genuine smallpox scare prevails
in northeast Georgia. Almost every
town aud section has adopted quaran
tine regulations. Harmony Grove
quarantined against Gainesville, Jef
ferson, Winder and Duke’s stillhouse.
Mayville quarantined against Gaines
ville, Lula, Bellton and other points.
The town of Homer has quarantined
against Hall, Habersham, Jackson and
White counties, and against the towns
of Maysville, Gillsville, Bellton, Lula
and other pointß.

First Bale of New Cotton.
Savanuah received its first bale of
new cotton on July 28. The bale was
received from Albany by express. It
reached the port just one day sooner
than the first bale for the season just
closing, which arrived July 29, 1898.
Mr. G. E. Dickerson has the honor
this year of receiving the first bale of
cotton at a Georgia port, and Messrs.
Parker & Cos., of Albany shipped it.
The bale was grown on the farm of J.
W. Arnold, near Albany.

Will Confirm Stale.
The sale of the Star Thread mill at
Barnett Shoals recently will come up
before Judge Russell at Watkinsville
and it will in all probability be con
firmed. This property was knocked
off to Captain James White, of Athens,
for $5f),200. If the sale is confirmed
Captain White will at once take charge
of the property and will in all proba
bility spend at least $15,000 in making
improvements there so as to make it
one of the finest cotton mills in the
state.

Joel’. Proposition to Atlanta.
The proposition of Joel Hurt before
the committee of the Atlanta city
council some days ago to give the city
a certain percentage of the profits of
the Atlanta Railway and Power Com
pany and the question of municipal
ownership is the leading topic of con
versation in the Gate City.
Several prominent citizens who were
asked for expressions on the subject
of municipal ownership of a lighting
p’ent and electric street railways were
strongly in favor of the city owning
these properties, aud the general sen
timent seems to be that the proposi
tion of Mr. Hurt, which appears to
tend to this direction, should not be
thoughtlessly passed by the council,
but should be thoroughly investigated
with a view' to ascertaining if there is
any good in it to the city.
* * *
A Continuous Institute.
The University of Georgia will in
augurate a continuous farmers’ insti
tute on the farm purchased by the
trustees about a year ago. The course
is intended for students of any age
who are unable to take the higher uni
versity course, and is intended chiefly
for boys who have graduated from the
common schools but are not far enough
advanced to enter college.
This means it is proposed to bring
instruction in agriculture within reach
of the masses. Eventually there will
be higher instruction in scientific ag
riculture.
This idea of adjusting the curricu
lum to meet the wants of the great
mass of those who expect to earn their
living on the farm is on a line sug
gested by Mr. Hoke Smith. The
faculty baa issued an interesting cir
cular on the subject.

Novel Mayoralty Race.
The most novel race for the mayor
alty in the history of Atlanta is now
on. Hon. Frank P. Rice wants to be
mayor of Atlanta. Hon. I. S. Mitchell
likewise covets the position.
Hon. Frank Rice married Hon. I.
S. Mitchell’s sister. The gentlemen
are, therefore, brothers-in-law. They
are, also, aldermen of the city of At
lanta at present. They are likewise
members of the Methodist church,Mr.
Hice being a member of the First
Methodist church in North Atlanta,
and Mr. Mitchell being a member of
Trinity church in South Atlanta. Mr.
Hice lives on the North side, Mr.
Mitchell resides on the South side.
This makes up a very unique and
very pretty race upon which the gen
tlemen have entered.

TRIED TO WRECK TRAIN.
Bloodhounds Hound Up the Would-Be
Miscreants and Murderers.
A dastardly. attempt was made to
wreck the fast passenger train of the
Central of Georgia railway that left
Opelika, Ala., Monday night at 9:40
o’clock for Columbia. On rounding
a curve near Ckewacla the engineer
was horrified to discover a pile of
crossties on the track. He shut off
steam and applied the airbrakes and
succeeded in stopping the train before
any damage was done. A little further
on two more piles of ties, a telephone
pole and an old mile-post were found on
the tracks.
Bloodhounds were secured at once,
and the trail led to the negro cabin,
where Lee Williams, a negro preacher,
and Charley Glazee, a strauge negro,
were found. They were dressed, and
admitted having just been to the rail
road, but claimed they were picking
up trash. They are now in jail, and
will be prosecuted to the full extent
of the law.

TO ELIMINATE THE NEGRO.
Epworth Leaguers Now Propose
tlnctively Southern Convention.
A movement has already begun
among Epworth Leaguers of the sont
to form a distinctively southern con
vention in order to eliminate the negro
in the meetings from a position of 6 °’
cial equality.
F. P. Works, president of the
state Epworth League, says southern
leaguers contemplate meeting at some
southern city to consider the advisa
bility of this organization.
The principal object of this con^e u
tion will be to exclude the negro en
tirely from participation in the inter
national league meetings. At Toron
and Indiauapolis the negro was
much in evidence, and it is the" 1 -,
to avoid an appearance of social efi u 8
ity hereafter that this meeting was m
augurated. *
It is meeting with general f aVol ’ '
being the opinion that negro
can better serve their local and
leagues by being in an organization •
themselves.
