I Estimate Too I.arsp?
-There is evidently a fear amoug
some gvowers of cotton throughout the
south that the estimate of the crop
made recently by the commissioners
of agriculture nt the meeting in Atlan
ta is too large.
Commissioner O. B. Stevens, in
speaking of the estimate made by the
commissioners, said that it had been
arrived at after a careful consolidation
of the estimated crop of each state.
The estimate as given out by the
commissioners was a crop between
9,000,000 and 9,500,000 bales. The
majority of the commissioners held
that the crop would not exceed 9,250,-
000 bales, 'while Soma maintained that
it would go higher, anil some that it
would fail short of that estimate. It
was finally agreed, under these cir
cumstances, to put the estimates at be
tween 9,000,000 and 9,500,000 bales.
“I am satisfied,” said Commissioner
Stevens, “that the commissioners
present at the convention gavo an ac
curate and thoroughly disinterested
report of the shortage in their states.
On account of the familiarity of the
commissioners with their crops, I con
sider, of course, that the estimate is
the best and safest that has yet been
made.
“From the states that were not rep
resented we received statements from
agricultural authorities that could not
bo doubted, and from them we made
up the estimate. I know of no way to
better estimate a crop than to get the
opinion of each commissioner in the
cottou growing section, and this is
what was done at the convention.”
The estimate given out by the com
missioners is practically the same as
the one made up by Colonel O. B. Ste
vens several weeks ago, after he had
ascertained definitely the nature and
extent of the loss to the crops of other
states. The action of the convention
was simply an indorsement of the care
ful estimate made some time ago by
Commissioner Stevens.

Summer Infttrjictlon Assured.
The prayer of the teachers of Geor
gia that they be given an opportunity
to secure summer instruction at the
state university has been granted, so
far as it is possible for the trustees of
the university to grant it.
At the special session of the board
of trustees held in Atlanta the past
week a report of the faculty, with
plans and courses of instruction for
university summer sessions,was unan
imously adopted, and all that is nec
essary to make the summer school a
reality is a small appropriation by the
legislature.
Under the plan which has been
adopted, the first summer session will
i be held next summer, beginuing July
I 2d and ending August 25th, eight
I weeks iu all.

Depot Plans Accepted?
A brief personal telegram received
in Atlanta stated that plans for anew
union passenger station in Atlanta
were accepted at the New York con
ference held last Saturday.
While the information did not come
direct from any one who was at the
meeting, there is good reason to be
lieve it is correct.
The conference was attended by
President Samuel Spencer, of the
Southern; President J. XV. Thomas,
of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis; President M. H. Smith, of tho
Louisville and Nashville; President
Harry XValters, of the Atlantic Coast
Line, and Vice President J. M. Egan,
of the Central.

Wan An Able Address.
The address of Dr. XV. B. Stubbs,
of Louisiana, before the general as
sembly of the slate last Friday even
ing, was regarded by many present as
one of tho ablest talks on agricultural
lines ever delivered in Georgia. Dr.
Stubbs occupies the position of state
chemist of Lonisiatia, and in addition
is also the head of the experimental
stations of that state. As an agricul
tural authority he is regarded as the
foremost in the south and wherever ho
speaks his words always attraot gen
eral attention.
At the close of Dr. Stubbs’ address
a resolution was unauimcusly passed
by the assembly requesting the papers
of Georgia to give the address to the
public in full, and particularly for the
benefit of the farmers of the state, to
whom it was directed.

Ho Talked of the Tech.
Aaron French, the prominent Pitts
burg manufacturer who has done so
much for the Georgia Technological
school and who takes so deep an in
terest iu its welfare, was in Atlanta
the pest week. He was accompanied
by D. C. Noble, secretary and treasu
rer of the A. French Spring Company,
one of the enterprises with which Mr.
French is identified.
In Jnly, 1897, when Mr. French
and President Lyman Hall, of the
Georgia School of Technology, became
acquainted with each other at the
former’s resort, Skyuka, North Caro-
lina, their friendship soon ripened
under the glowing influence of one
subject, technical oducation.
The following year when Mr.French
learned from President Hall of the
conditions imposed by the Georgia
legislature that §lO,OOO must be raised
by the school beforo the state appro
priation should become available, he
began a series of donations, which
have amounted to nearly $13,000.
besides establishing a scholarship for
a wortliyGeorgia boy, Edward Klein,
of Atlanta, who won < a his merits,
Mr, French pays the expenses of a
student from Pennsylvania and will
send another student from Ohio next
year.
While in Atlanta Mr. French paid
several visits to the school. President
Hall introduced him to the Btudtwnts,
who gave him an ovation. The stu
dents were introduced to Mr. French
as Georgia’s 400. .
During liia visit Mr. French also
saw' several members of the legislature
and with all of them hiR one theme
was the Technological school. When
asked what he thought of the school
he said, among many other things:
“Tho new branoli of textiles at the
school means a great deal to the south
if it is properly supported.”

A County Site Contest..
The fight over the ratification of
Rochelle as the county site of Wilcox
comes up in the legislature. Judge
Thomas L. Holton, of the couuty
court of Wilcox, is in the Gate City at
the head of a delegation in favor of
Abbeville, while Colonel D. B. Nich
olson heads a similar delegation from
Rochelle.
Tho delegations from both towns
have goue to the legislature armed
with formidable netitions on one or
the other of which the name of nearly
every freeholder in the conniy appears.
The petitions of both towns have been
printed and copies placed on tho desks
of members.
The bill to change the site from
Abbeville to Rochelle was introduced
at the last session, but the friends of
the measure failed to bring it up be
fore adjournment. During the-recess
the members of the Abbeville facticu
weut earnestly to w'ork, and they
promise that Rochelle will get the site
only after a hard fight.

The uneasiness occasioned by the
recent appearance in Americus of a
mild case of varioloid has subsided, as
the case was at once isolated. Inas
much, however, as varioloid exists iu
a neighboring county, vaccination has
been very general in town, and all of
the 1,600 pupils attending the public
schools of the city, as well as the half
hundred teachers, will be required to
be vaccinated.

A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga., says:
At 12 o’clock Tuesday night tho
Northeastern railroad passed out of
the bauds of the state of Georgia and
became a part of the Southern railway
system.
For the road, forty miles in lengf >
and running from Athens to Lula.
Ga., the Southern railway in its hid
opened Tuesday afternoon agrees to
pay the state the sum of $307,000.
The actual cost to the state was $287,-
000, and to tho excellent judgment of
Governor Candler in placing the
property on sale at this time is due
the profit of $20,000.
Only two bids were filed in the ex
ecutive office in compliance with the
regulations of the sale, but both offers
were made in earnest and both were
in excess of the upset price namod in
the act of 1897. The bid of the South
ern of $807,000 was made by James
XV. English, of the Fourth National
Bank of Atlanta, whose name is at
tached to the two checks, one for
$95,000 and the other for $5,000, which
represents the first payment for tho
Northeastern.
Tho other bid was in tho sum of
$291,551 and was made by A. IT.
Hodgson, of Athens, who is said to
have represented tho Seaboard in the
transaction.
Tho following order was issued by
Governor Candler turning over the
road to the Southern:

tain English transferred an l unsigned
the same to the Southern Railway
Company, and that the said company
has complied with the terms of said
bid and mado the first payment of
$100,090, as required by the said ad
vertisement.
