GEORGIA NEWS ITEMS
Brief Summary of Interesting
Happenings Culled at Random.
Cuttle Halting Discussed.
Ex-Governor Northen, accompanied
by Mr. H. J. Wing, of the Georgia ex
periment station, visited Greenesboro
the past week, and both gentlemen
made interesting and instructive ad
dresses to the citizens of the county,
at the courthouse.
Mr. Northen is very anxious to see
Georgia become a stock and cattle
raising state, and he told in a con
vincing manner some of the advant
ages, experience and observation have
taught him that this section possessea.
He clearly blazed the way to prosperi
ty for the farmers of Greene, if they
will only avail themselves of the ad
vantages nature has bestowed upon
them. To illustrate the truth of hie
conclusions, Mr. Northen cited a num
ber of demonstrations he had teen
and known made,
Mr. Northen has so far brought
thousands of people into the state from
the northwest, about 1.3,000 of whom
remained and are good citizens.

Democratic State Convention.
Chairman dußignon, of the stats
Democratic executive committee, has
announced that the state committee
would he assembled in Atlanta during
the first week in March, immediately
following the meeting of tlio national
committee at Washington.
The general impression prevails that
the national Democratic convention
will be set for some day between tha
Ist and the 10th of June. If this is
true the state convention will probably
be called for about the middle af May,
and if this is done the county prima
ries for the nomination of a stale
tioket will probably ba fixed by the
state committee for a day somewhere
between April 15th and May Ist.

Ciltlcliift School lfottiod*.
A scathing criticism of the present
sohool system, including a protest
against corporal punishment, a denun
ciation of the system because “it is
not in accordance with God’s word,”
a statement that graduates are inca
pacitated for citizenship aud a chal
lenge to the members of the board of
education, formed an interesting feat
ure of the sermon of Dr. A. R. Hol
derby, delivered from his pulpit iu
Mooro Memorial Presbyterian church
at Atlanta Suuday morning. Dr. Hol
derly had selectod as his subject,
“Child Training,” and it was this
theme that led him into his denuncia
tion of the public schools.

Celebrate Stephens* Birthday.
The town of Crawfordville was out
en masse to witness the celebration of
Alexander H. Stephens’ birthday. The
entertainment was under the direction
of tho Daughters of tho Confederacy.
Tho old southern songs were snng aud
lent a charm to tha evening. Stories of
Mr. Stephens’ life were related, parts
of his diary were read, extracts from ’
his speeches and eulogies ware givem
by the pupils. The decorations were
strictly Confederate in all their ap
pointments.

May Vote Against It.
Annexation has taken anew turn in
Macon since the announcement that
no new government building conld be
built there for some time. It is a well
known fact that a number of people
were in favor of it for the purpose of
getting anew building. Many ex
pressed themselves as favoring it for
that reason, and it is feared that more
trouble will be experienced. Interest
in the movement on the pait of the
annexationists has dropped considera
bly this week, and the anti-men have
commenoed a aampaigu of their own.

Shlpmeat of Georgia Q>ld Ore.
There are at Cornelia teu tons of
gold ore ready to be shipped to Char
lotte, N. C. The ore was hauled by
wagon from the Eureka mines, situ
ated about thirty miles distant, aud is
to be shipped to a smelter at Charlotte.
The Hureka Mining Company is com
posed of owners who reside in Canton,
0., and they are confident that they
can make a good profit out of their
mine after hauling the ore thirty miles
by wagon and then having it sent to
the North Carolina smelter. Samples
of ore from the new mine assay from
$2 to $96 a ton, and as this is the first
shipment tho outcome will be watched
with interest.
Fratt Men of North Georgia.
The competition for the next meet
ing of the North Georgia Fruit Grow
ers’ Association has been quite lively.
The president, Mr. G. H. Miller, of
Rome, has sceu tit to accept the invi
tation of Adairsville. It will be re
membered that the last meeting was
held iu Adairsville and was a very suc
cessful one, mauy prominent men at
tending. The coming meeting will bo
held about the middle of April. It is
hoped by that time to have an assured
crop from 200,000 trees, which is, in
other words, $200,000 net for growers
if the price is what it should be. At
this meeting au ice factory and can
ning and evaporating plant will be
discussed.
* * *
Subioribtil to Brumby Fund.
Interest in the Brumby fund is rap
idly spreading all over the country
and the Brumby Monument Associa
tion at Atlanta is now receiving letters
and subscriptions from New York to
San Francisco. During the past week
the general fund was increased by the
addition of $llB, which brings the
total up to a handsome figure.
Of this additional sum $lOO was
sent by Mrs. Calvm S. Brice, widow
of Senator Calvin S. Brice, of New
York, who is wintering in Santa Bar
bara, Cal.

Governor Goes to Wauhlacton.
Governor Candler left Atlanta Mon
day for Washington on a mission of
interest and national importance, that
of attending the meeting of all the
governors of the union, called together
by President McKinley, to arrange for
the centennial celebration of the remo
val of the capital from Philadelphia to
Washington.
In the early part of last fall the
nrasidoiit reanested the chief execu
tives of the different statos to meet
some time in December and arrange
the preliminary steps for the celebra
tion, which is intended to be one of
the largest in scope ever undertaken
at the national capital. At the request
of a number of governors, the gather
ing was postponed until after the first
of the year.

TH BeiieflU of a Creamery
Farmer* and business men of Wash
ington eonnty met at Tennilie the past
week for the purpose of discussing mat
ters relative to the establishment of a
creamery. Ifx-ffovernor Northern wae
the priuoipal speaker, and he was
given a warm welcome and spoke one
hour. The creamery is the salvation
of tke land he said. He has sold but
ter for 60 cents per pound, the cost of
which was but 15 cents. Cotton he
does not plant. Cattle raising is profit
able, he said. Within six months,
without being himaelf an adept at the
business, ha fed and sold a steer at a
profit of $3l.
Mr. Wallace proprietor of the cream
ery at Griffin, and who is at the move
to establish ono at Tennilie, also spoke.
He stated that no place offered such
natural advantages for dairying as
Washington county. It requires $6,000
to put in creamery plant, half of which
he would invest; the other half must
come from merchants by floating
bonds.
REPUBLICANS ARE NERVOUS.
Porto ltican Tariff Hill Not Sure oT Adop
tion.
A Washington dispatch says: Again
Tuesday there were but three speeches
in tho house upon the Porto Rican
tariff bill. Five hours were consumed
in their delivery. Mr. Hopkins, of
Illinois, spoko iu support of the bill
aud Mr. Newlands, of Nevada, and
Mr. Swanson, of Virginia, in opposi
tion to it. The speakers devoted
themselves almost exclusively to tho
constitutional question involved and
were listened to with attention.
The Republican leaders are becom
ing nervous over the fate of the bill.
They have only a majority of fourteen
over the opposition, which is solidly
opposed to the measure. Eight votes
from tho Republican side would there
fore defeat it and there are from twelve
to fifteen Republican votes in doubt.

GENERAL CRONJE’S REPORT.
Hoor Commandant (lives His Side of the
Affair at Kimberley.
A portion of an official report from
General Cronje, dated Sunday, Feb
ruary 18th, has been given out as
follows:
“Yesterday morning about G o’clock,
while removing the laager near
Scholtznek, we were attacked by the
British. The fight lasted until 7:30
in the evening. Although on the
whole the British were driven back,
they each timo renewed the attack.
The loss to the British must have been
considerable. Thus far the Boer loss
has beeu eight killed aud twelve
wounded. This morning the British
shelled us with cannon. Chief Com
mandant Ferreira’s force was too small
to stop the cavalry from entering
Kimberley. ”
REPUBLICS AT OUTS.
War Between Costa Rica and Nicaragua
Seems a Certainty.
A serious condition of affairs exists
in Central America, as is shown by the
following telegram received by the
secretary of state from Merry, the
United States minister at Costa Rica,
dated at San Jose, February 20, 1900:
‘Revolutionary invasion expected
Nicaragua. Martial law’ declared.
Troops moving to the frontier.”
The new’s is viewed with considera
ble apprehension by administration
officials, as it practically points to a
war between Costa Rica and Nicaragua,
both of which are probably more inti
mately associated in the general poli
cy of the United States than any of
the other countries on the American
continent.
ACTRESS SETHERSOLE ARRESTED.
Her Rendition of “Sanlio” lVas Too Much
Kven for New Yorkers.
On a warrant charging her with of
fending public decency, Olga Nether
sole, the actress, was arrested in New
York Wednesday afternoon and made
to appear in the Ceuter street police
court. She was paroled in the custody
of her counsel and the case set for
hearing Friday morning.
Ihe arrest is the culmination of the
attack upon and denunciation of
“Sappho,” Clyde Fitch’s play, pro
duced by Miss Nethersole at Wallack’s
theater.
The play is a stage adaptation of
Alphonse Daudet’s novel of “Sap
pho.” The attack seemed to come
from all directions, the play being de
nounced by pulpit and press.
