GEORGIA NEWS NOTES
Happenings In the State of Inter
esting Import.
Atlanta Pioneer P*sc* Away.
Col. George Adair, a well known
and pioneer citizen of Atlanta, died at
his home in that city last Friday
night.
A better known, better beloved man
never lived in the Gate City. He was
one of her peerless pioneers, casting
his lot with that city when she was
but a struggling hamlet, growing with
her growth and strengthening with
her strength.
No man knew Atlanta more thor
oughly than Colonel George W. Adair,
and Atlanta has never known better
and loved aod admired more any man
than Colonel Adair.
Always in the forefrent of every
movement looking to the progress and
well-being of that fair city, he num
bered his friends by the thousand and
his acquaintances by the thousands.
In his death Atlanta sustains a dis
tinct loss, and to thousands his pass
ing nwav will be a matter of distinct
personal grief.
* * *
I.egitflAlure October 25th.
The status of the business of house
and senate of the state legislature on
which Secretary Charley Northen and
John T. Boifeuillet, clerk of the
house, have been working for the past
two weeks, has been prepared in
pamphlet form and copies forwarded
to the members of the legislature.
The unfinished business in Ihe house
for the past session is unusually large
and when the members convene in
Atlanta on October 25th they will find
a considerable number of bills ready
to be put on their third reading.
The number of bills in the hands of
house committees is also large, and
much of the time of the coming ses
sion will be asked for the consideration
of theso measures.
The unfinished business of the sen
ate is about the same as that crowded
over at the end of every session, but
among the bills are several of unusual
importance and interest to the general
public.
One of the measures of most gen
eral public interest in the hands of
the committee is that Mr. Ellis, of
Bibb, relating to warehousemen in the
state and authorizing them to give
bond and issuo warehouse receipts.
Little attention was paid to this bill
at the last session, and it remained
with tho committee on general agri
culture for some time. At present,
however, renewed interest is felt by
tho farmers of the state in the ware
house plan, and a strong effort will be
made, it is understood to carry the
measure through.
The successful passage of the bill is
regarded by some as a partial solution
of the cotton question, as it would en
able the majority of the cotton grow
ers to hold their cotton for a good
price, at the same time do business with
the receipts issued by bonded ware
house men.

Col. W. H. Dabney Pend.
Colonel W. 11. Dabney, one of the
oldest and widely known lawyers of
north Georgia, died the past week at
his home in Calhoun. Colonel Dab
ney had been in bad health for six
months, and for the past few weeks
had been confined to his bed. His
body was carried to Atlanta and
buried in Oakland cemetery beside
his wife and two deceased children.
William H. Dabney was born in Jas
per county, Georgia, July 17, 1817,
and was therefore eighty-two years of
age. He was admitted to the practice
of law in Decatur, where for many
■years he was associated with Colonel
James L. Calhoun, father of W. L.
Calhoun of Atlanta.

Cadet Wood Georgian.
Naval Cadet Welborn Cicero Wood,
the Georgia boy who was with Wat
son’s gunboat which was destroyed a
few days ago at Manila and who was
reported as being killed l>y tlio Filipi
nos, was given the appointment to the
naval academy at Anapolis by the Hon.
Carter Tato, of the ninth district.
Young Wood was the personal choice
of the congressman for the place, and
and was not required to staud a com
petitive examination. Congressman
Tate had known the yonng man, and
was thoroughly satisfied that a better
representative could not he sent from
the Empire State of the south, and the
young Georgian’s career has borne out
the estimate.

Fertlllifr Sales Reduced.
The annual report of the state de
partment of agriculture which is now
in preparation, will show a number of
interesting figures bearing directly on
the short crop of Georgia, both in cot
ton and other staple products.
A report will show that the sale of
fertilizers which is directly controlled
by the department of agriculture, has
been brought down 20 per cent over last
year. That while the sale of fertilizer
tags Inst year amounted to §43,000,
only §34,000 worth of tags have been
Bold this year.
By advising the non-use of fertili
zers and reducing its sale throughout
the state the department of agricul
ture, its friends claim, has scored a
signal victory. The cotton acreage,
and hence the cotton crop, has been
reduced.
Commissioner O. B. Stevens, at the
beginning of his term of office, urged
tho farmers of Georgia to diversify
their crops in tho hope that the agri
cultural classes of the south would
generally appreciate the fact that a
good price could not be demanded for
a surplus crop of cotton. The advice
of the department was taken in a great
many instances in this state, with the
result that the sale of fertilizers has
been reduced 90,000 tons over last
year. . . .
STATE FA llt NOTES.
Ab the time draws near for the
opening of the state fair many inter
esting features nro being added to the
already long list of special attractions.
It is now probably assured that a
Brumby day will be arranged, and a
movement is new on foot to have
Lieutenant Brumby visit Atlanta dur
ing the fair.
The arrangements for a South Caro
lina dav are being superintended by
Sam W. Wilkes, and Thursday, No
vember 2, will be set asido for special
exercises to be participated in by resi
dents of the Palmetto state. The
date having been fixed, invitations will
be extended to Governor McSweeney
and many other prominent men of
that state to attend and take part in
the exercises of South Carolina day.
Secretary Martin announces that
Georgia will have three big days.—
North Georgia day, Middle Georgia
day and South Georgia day. North
Georgia will embrace the Seventh and
Ninth congressional districts, Middle
Georgia the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth,
Eighth and Tenth districts, and South
Georgia the First, Second, Third and
Eleventh districts. A committee will
shortly be appointed for the different
days. The congressmen of the differ
ent districts will be invited on the
days on w hich the fair will be given up
to their part, of the state, ns well as
the mayors of the different cities and
towns.
The decorations of the fair build
ings at Piedmont park will be of an
unusually artistic order and the effect
will be something rever seen at a state
fair before. Every building will come
in for its full share of decoration and
in order to complete the work on time
a large force of skilled decorators will
be employed.
A strong feature in connection w’ith
Negro day will be a special chorus of
1,000 trained voices that will render a
number of selections during the day
in the auditorium. A telegram was
received from Booker Washington,
stating that he would attend the fair
on Negro day and take part in the
exercises. He will deliver a specially
prepared address, and there will be
several other prominent speakers.
BAIL REFUSED ACTRESS.
Judge E itlll Remand* Miss Julia Morri
son to Prison.
At Chattanooga, Tenn., Wednesday,
Judge Floyd Estill refused to grant
Miss Julia Morrison, the murderess of
Actor Leiclenheimer, bail, and she was
returned to jail to await the January
term of court. When Judge Estill
announced his decision Miss Morrison
broke down and wept bitterly.
In delivering liis decision Judge Es
till stated the proof against the pris
oner was of such a damaging nature
that, under no circumstances, would
he admit her to bail. He said the
state had conclusively proven that the
murder was malicious, willful and
premeditated.

Captain Gillette Stops Atlantic Contracting
Company’s Work.

CARTER IMPRISONED.
President Approves Sentence of
the Courtmartial.
CAPTAIN ARRESTED IN NEW YORK.
Dishonored Officer and Embezzler Must
Berre Five Years and Pay a Fine
of 95,000.
A Washington special says: The
president has approved the sentence
imposed by courtmartial on Captain
Oberlin M. Carter, corps of engineers,
U. S. A., and a formal order was is
sued Saturday from the war depart
ment directing the execution of the
sentence.
The verdict of the court was as fol
lows:
“And the court does therefore sen
tence the accused, Captain Oberlin
M. Carter, corps of engineers, U. S.
A., to be dismissed from the service of
the United, to suffer a fine of $5,000,
to be confined at hard labor at such
place as the proper authority may
direct, for five years, and the crime,
punishment, name and place of abode
of the accused to be published ia the
newspapers in and about the station
and the state from which the accused
came or where he usually resides.”
It ia now over tw r o years since
charges against Captain Carter were
first made known to the public. They
followed close upon the appointment
of Captain Carter as a membor of the
old Walker Nicaraugua Canal commis
sion. The charges resulted in a court
martial, which began its sessions at
Savannah on January 12, 1898.
The main charges upon which the
courtmartial was held w T as that Cap
tain Carter had entered into a con
spiracy with members of the Atlantic
Contracting company, w hich had large
contracts for jetty work, etc., on the
Savaanah river and in Cumberland
sound, by which he was given a share
in the profits of these contracts, in
consideration of his aid in securing
the contracts to this company at a
high figure and in permitting them to
do such inferior work that their profits
were exorbitant. The total amount of
the fraudulent claims which were al
lowed and paid by the government
through Captain Carter’s unfaithful
ness was set at about $2,500,000.
