address shall remain unknown, has

Prison Farm Pays.
The investment of the state of Geor
gia in the prison farm at Milledgeville
has shown itself, under the manage
ment of the prison commission, to be
an unexpected success. The sale of
the cotton crop raised on the farm ag
gregating 278 bales in all, and bring
ing at the best market during the past
week practically SIO,OOO, has enabled
the prison commission to estimate the
result of the experiment for the first
year now drawing to a close.
At the lowest estimate, tho profit,
after paying every expense connected
with the farm, will be practically $4,-
000. The favorable result is a sur
prise, eveu to the members of the com
mission, who have, nevertheless, labor
ed consistently since last spring to
make as good a showing as possible to
the general assembly. It was the gen
eral expectation when the prison farm
was established at Milledgeville that
tho first year or two it would be barely
self-supporting, and the satisfaction,
therefore, in official circles was genu
ine when it was announced that the
clear profit to the state would be at
least $4,000.
The expense of the prison farm, ac
cording to an official of tho prison de
partment, for its actual operation and
the maintenance of 223 convicts has
been approximately SIO,OOO. The first
crop of cotton, therefore, almost pays
the running expemes of tho farm, and
what is realized from the surplus crop
of corn, oats and peas, will be clear
profit.

l'rote.t I. Filed.
The authorities of Charlton county
are not disposed to surrender the 25,-
000 acres of land awarded to Wayue
county under the recent official survey
without a fight. The boundary line
dispute between the two counties, ex
isting as it has for over half a century,
is now at white heat and Secretary of
State Phil Cook is to be the arbiter
and his decision, according to law will
be final.
Through Judge J. L. Sweat, Charl
ton county has filed a protest agaiust
tho survey made by Thomas W. Peck,
of Ware, and Secretary Cook has set
February 27tli as the date for the rival
claims to be heard.
The property in dispute is the entire
northern end of Charlton, from the
point where Buffalo creek empties
into the Sutilla river ou the east in a
due westerly direction to the other
border of the couuty, a large tract of
land aggregating in all a little over
25,000 acres, iu itself almost the size
of some of tho smaller counties.
Krerett Quits Race.
Hon. Mark Everett, of Stewart, lias
withdrawn from the race for the prison
commission to succeed Commissioner
Thomas Eason, and his retirement,
decided upon after a consideration of
the imperative demands made upon
him l>y home interests, leaves still
three candidates in the field, Commis
sioner Eason, who desires to succeed
himself; C. C. Thomas, of Ware, and
Colonel Heery, of Tatuall.

Calvin I Secretary.
Hon. Martin V. Calvin, of Rich
mond, has been appointed secretary of
the Georgia State Agricultural Society.
He succeeds Dr. Samuel Hape, of
Hapeville.
The appointment of Mr. Calvin by
Fresideut J. Pope Brown was tendered
in recognition of his services to the
farmers of Georgia while a member of
the legislature. Mr. Calvin was a
recognized leader of the last house of
representatives and in point of service
was one of its oldest members.
Mr. Calvin was regarded as one of
the stanchest supporters of the agri
culturist to bo found in the legislature.
Lineal Descendant of Lafayette.
The appointment of John W. Huger
by Governor Allen D. Gaudier, as his
personal representative at the Lafay
ette monumental exercises, to take
place at Paris in July, gives Georgia
and its chief executive the unique
prestige of representation l>y the lineal
descendant of one who, probably next
to Washington himself, enjoyed the
greatest degree of friendship with the
Marquis de Lafayette.
The commission of John W. Huger
wrs issued from the executive office
last week and the representative of the
tate expects to leave for Europe about
June Ist, joining in Paris later his
brother, Francis Kinloch Huger, who
is to be added by President McKinley
fto the Uuited States commission in
charge of the raouument exercises.
Each of the sovereign states of the
union, to the formation of which Laf-
ayette gave the best years of his life,
have been invited to name delegations.
* * *
Thin County I>inputs Settled.
The official survey of the boundary
lines between Walton and Jackson and
Walton and Gwinnett counties made
by Captain H. L. Collier have been
completed and filed in the office of
Secretary Cook. The property in dis
pute between these three counties is
small in proportion to that between
Wayne and Charlteu and it is under
stood that the matter has been amica
bly settled. Captain Collier took with
him on the survey commissioners from
each of tho counties, and wherever a
point of difference existed it wbb ad
justed between the commissioners at
once.

Brvnn to Speak In Atlanta.
William J. Bryan will speak in At
lanta Friday, February 23d. He comes
at the invitation of the Young Men’s
Democratic League. Mr. Bryan wrote
at once his acceptance. This means
that Mr. Bryan will speak in the Gate
City, and that he will be given a re
ception unparalleled in cordiality and
spontaneous enthusiasm. The mem
bers of tlie league determined, when
sending the invitation, that if Mr.
Bryan should do them the honor to ac
cept, to make his reception one not
hitherto surpassed.

Cotton Factory Assured.
The movement of the Atlanta Busi
ness Men’s League to build a §1,000,-
000 cotton mill is meeting with the
most enthusiastic approval on all rides,
and a number of prominent capitalists
and business men have commended
the plan heartily. From present in
dications it looks as if there will b
little difficulty in raising sufficient
money by popular subscription, and
in a few days books will be opened in
the office of the league.

Waterworks For Prison Farm.
A system of waterworks using the
new style of improved ram will be es
tablished on the state farm at Milledge
ville. Fortunately this will not be a
difficult task, as streams are accesi
ble with sufficient fall to answer the
purpose at comparatively small cost.
The farm has heretofore been depend
ing on the water supply from wells in
that vicinity, but to get a continu
ed low rate of insurance it has been
found necessary to afford a better pro
tection for the buildings.
Free Delivery For Waycrois.
First Atsistant Postmaster General
Heath has sent an inspector to Way
cross for the purpose of paving the
way for the establishment of the free
delivery system. ¥nder the law it
requires either 10,000 population or
postoffice receipts of SIO,OOO a year to
warrant the establishment of free de
livery, and Waycross now claims both
requirements.

To Cull Election.
At the meeting of the Macon com
mittee on annexation held iu the rooms
of the chamber of commerce, Judge
John P. Ross was appointed to draw
up a petition to the mayor and coun
cil ealliug for an election to be held
in the suburbs to decide as to whether
or not these districts will be annexed
to the city. This is the first real step
toward annexation that has been taken
by the friends of the movement.

Senator Bacon Improving.
A Washington special says: Senator
Bacon is still confined to his bed from
the accident he received on the 3d
inst. Owing to the extreme shock to
his nervous system caused by the in
jury, his attending physician has pro
hibited his receiving any company, at
tending to any class of work in the
way of correspondence, or otherwise.
He is steadily improving, and hopes
to be entirely recovered in a short
time.
May Review Troops.
It is highly probable that the Sec
ond Georgia Regiment will be review
ed in Macon during Admiral Dewey’s
visit to the city. The idea was sug
gested by oue of Macon’s officers sev
eral days ago, and has met with favor
at the bauds of almost every one. All
of the companies comprising the regi
ment are located no great distance
from Macon, and could be brought iu
without very much loss of time or very
great expense.

Capt. Kenan Promoted.
Captain Lewis H. Kenan, the well
known assistant quartermaster of the
state troops has been promoted to the
ranks of lieutenant colonel by the gov
ernor. It is a deserved compliment
that Governor Candler lias paid Cap
tain Kenan by putting him on his staff.

silver vase upon the occasion of his
visit next month. The presentation

RESOLUTION SLIPPED THROUGH.
United State. Senate Unwittingly Ex
prei.ee Sympathy For Boer*.
A resolution expressing sympathy
for the B;ers in their struggle against
Great Britain and urging mediation
on the part of the United States be
tween the belligerents, was adopted
by the senate Saturday in a fit of tem
porary aberration of attention.
The resolution was offered by Mr.
Allen, of Nebraska, and went through
without attracting the slightest com
ment from any one of the dozen or
more senators present. A minute
later, however, at the request of the
chair (Mr. Frye) Mr. Allen consented
to a reconsideration of the vote by
which the resolution was passed and
the incidont closed amid much quiet
laughter.
BECKHAM FILES SUIT.
The State Courts Asked to Enjoin Governor
Taylor.
The suit of Beckham vs. Taylor for
the possession of tho office of governor
was filed in the circuit court at Frank
fort, Ky., Wednesday.
The petition in the suit holds that
W. S. Taylor is not the governor of
the state and that with an armed force
he holds possession of the executive
building. It alleges that he is drawing
money without authority of law from
the state treasury, pardoning convicts
and doing other things that are detri
mental to the welfare of the state.
The petition asks that the court en
join him from exercising any duties as
chief executive and from assuming any
control whatever over the legislature.
