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. ATLANTA MARKETS. CORK EOT El) WEEKLY.—B **■ Orocerli.

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. “Frank’s Cough Cure ia the best I ever used.”—Sob’t L Tay\ - | FEMALE ~ i - Cempoiifl (*) | \ builds up run DOWN!
