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. 41 * V 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. * * * Xwnan Wants Sewer*. An election has been ordered by the mayor and councilmen of Newnan to be held on the sth of August to de termine whether or not the city shall issue $20,000 worth of 4 per cent bonds for the purpose of putting in a system of sewerage.

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. W, M.

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.
