Brief Summary of Interesting:
Happenings Culled at Rand cm.
Veteran .Jonrnnllit Head.
John H. Martin, one of the best
known editorial writers of this state,
died at his home in Atlanta the past
week, after a long illness. Ho had
reached the age of 83 years, and from
the time he was 17 years of age until
five years ago he was actively engaged
in newspaper work.
Mr Martin was for a number of
years an active newspaper man and
was regarded as one of the best edito
rial writers in the state. He came to
Georgia from North Carolina, where,
in the city of Italeigb, he conducted a
newspaper. lie was at that time sev
enteen years of age. Directly after
the war he went to Columbus, where
he was owner and editor of The En
quirer-Hun He disposed of that pa
per, however, and went to Atlanta,
where ho edited The Sunday Gazette.
This he sold to the late Henry W.
Grady, and went to Rome, where he
was engaged in newspaper work for a
number of years. He then returned
to Atlanta and became an associate ed
itor of The Atlanta Journal, which was
his last work.

Mr*. Noble* Not Whipped.
Hon. Thos Eason, prison commission
er, says that the state’s of 600
acres of oats atMilledgeville were some
what injured, but he lias faith that the
plants will come again from the roots.
He says the wheat is all right.
Colonel Eason says he has carefully
investigated the story circulated re
cently that Mrs. Elizabeth Nobles,
the aged husband murderer, has to bo
whipped every Monday morning be
cause she is spoiled by sentimental
visitors on Sunday. He declares that
the sworn statement of the prison war
den is that she does not get whippings
and has never given any trouble since
her first day at the farm.

Fruit Inspector* Named.
Asa part of the thorough organiza
tion which the fruit growers in every
section of the state have begun as a
means to better protect their interests,
a plan has been adopted calling for the
appointment of deputy inspectors who
are to act under the authority of the
state entomologist. In two fruit
growing districts—Fitzgerald and
Fort Valley—the peach growers have
already organized and appointed dep
uty inspectors.
The duty outlined for the deputy
entomologists is to visit every orchard
in their district at regular intervals,
reporting to the state entomologist the
presence of the San Jose scale, so that
prompt action can be taken in treating
the post. Under the law the deputies
are clothed with the right to forcibly
enter all orchards in case permission
of the owner is refused.

Tell-Tale Gun Wadding.
“Be sure your sins will find yon
out.” In clear, bold type this Scrip
tural injunction stands out couspicu
ously on a small piece of gun wadding
found on the floor near the dead body
of Miss Nellie McDowell, tho young
woman who was mysteriously assassi
nated in her home, ten miles from
Dallas more than a week ago,
The fragment is said to be a part of
the small scrap of paper which held in
place in the gun barrel the spoonful
of little death-dealing leaden missies.
On auother piece of paper wadding,
pj-hted on similar' typo, and said to
li a ve been drawn from the undischarg
ed side of a double-barreled shotgun
belonging to a young farmer in the
neighborhood of the crime, is found
this Biblical truth:
“It is appointed unto all men once
to die and after that the judgment.”
With fearful accuracy, both as to
tho prophecy of the printed words and
aud as to the manner iu which the pa
per was torn when the gun was loaded,
do these two fragraedts of an old copy
of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat form
a strong link in the chain of circum
stautial evidence now being forged
around Wylie Jones, the owner of the
gun in question aud now held in jail
charged with the murder of Miss Nel
lie McDowell.

Supreme Court lteport*.
The 107th Georgia supreme court
report is out and in the bauds of State
Librarian Brown for distribution. The
issuing of the report was delayed for
several months on account of the ina
bility of the priuters to securo the pa
per necessary for the volume. The
report should have been out in Decem
ber.

Colored Mtllti* Marred;
The military committee of the Dewey
celebration at Savannah came near,
embarrassing themselves and every
one connected with the affair by the
promiscuous manner in which invita
tions to the military commands to take
part iu the parade were sent out.
Among the troops invited were those
from South Carolina. The adjutant
general of the state failed to distin
guish white from colored troops, and
when tho invitations were issued many
t>f them were to negro troops. Some
of the colored companies accepted but
•sa captain, who knew more than the
•ft’iers, telegraphed to know if colored
hoops would be welcome. He got a
mejative reply By return wire, and the
OM.nmittee has secured a revised list of
the South Carolina militia and has
Mut out notices withdrawing the in
vitations to the negro companies.
* * *
Interstate Fair Assured.
The interstate fair will be held in
Atlanta October 10th to 27th, inclu
sive.
The time of holding the fair was
settled at a macs meeting held in the
Atlanta council chamber a day or two
ago. About 100 representative busi
ness men were present at the meeting
and the enthnsiasm displayed showed
that tho interstate fair had the hearty
endorsement of all.
Chairman Charles A. Collier, in call
ing the meeting to order, stated that
it was not held for the purpose of de
ciding whether or not a fair would be
held, as that matter had already been
settled. The subject for discussion at
the meeting was the scope and char
acter of the fair. The grounds, build
ings, machinery and all appurtenances
were in good condition and it would
require only a small outlay to start
the wheels of tho fair to moving. The
guarantee fund was placed at $15,000,
which is $5,000 more than that of the
state fair last year.
* * •
Pharmacy Board Meet* on 20th.
The Georgia state board of phar
macy will meet in Atlanta on Tuesday,
March 20th, for the examination of ap
plicants for license to practice pharm
acy in the state of Georgia.
Applicants are required under the
law to have had three years’ practical
experience iu the drug business before
examination, or to be either graduates
in pharmacy or in medicine. The law
of Georgia permits no one to operate a
drug store unless the proprietor in
charge is licensed or has a licensed
man.
• •
State Ticket Improbable.
Enthusiasm is not very much among
the Republicans over the prospects of
a state ticket, as recommended by the
recent state convention of that party.
The leaders in Atlanta think that it
would be inadvisable aud inexpedient
to get out a state ticket.
The believe, too, that available
men cannot be obtained who will sac
rifice themselves on the platform
adopted at the convention. When the
resolution was adopted by the conven*
tion in Atlanta instructing the state
central committee to meet within nine
ty days and formulate a ticket, Chair
man Pledger of the convention stated
that the action was compulsory, pro
vided suitable men could be obtained
for nomination.
Chairman Walter H. Johnson of the
state central committee, said that the
committee would have a meeting with
in the prescribed time, but what would
be done he could not say. He said
that he did not believe the committee
would name a ticket, as it would not
bo good policy at this time.
Chairman Pledger of the state con*
veutiou, when asked, stated positively
that no ticket would be named. He
thought that the sense of the commit
tee would be and that the opinion of
the convention was to the effect that
to nominate a ticket, the Republicans
would bring upon the party a needless
opposition, which, at the present time,
it does not have.

Good For Columbus.
By a series of deals made in Colum
bus in a few short hours’ time, last
Saturday, the following results have
been accomplished, which mean much
for Columbus. The Bibb Manufactur
ing Company, of Macon, has control
of the greater part of stock of the
Columbus Power Cos. The two com
panies secured valuable options and
bought $15,000 of laud on North
Highlands. The Bibb Manufacturing
Ccmpauy will build a 20,000-spindle
cotton mill on North Highlands, and
will also erect eighty tenement houses.
The old Chattahoochee Knitting
mill, in Girard, Ala., just across the
river, will bo operated as a cotton
mill. A company has just been formed
to operate the mill. The new mill is
entirely distinct from the euterprise
which had practically ceased to exist.
A highly significant feature is that
the new mill on North Highlands, of
the Bibb Manufacturing Company,will
manufacture high-class goods exclu
sively. For several years the Colum
bus mills have been making finer and
finer fabrics, competing with the New
England mills a little more aud a little
more every year, aud the announce
ment that this new mill will make
high-class goods exclusively is highly
interesting.

Prohibition Win* In Warren.
Warren county, whose prohibition
law of twenty-three years staudiug
was set aside by a recent decision of
the supreme court of Georgia, voted
an the question 4>he past week under
the 6tate local option law, resultiug in
an overwhelming victory for the pro
hibitionists, or “against the sale.”
The colored voters of the county ral
lied to the cause of prohibition and
played a prominent part in helping to
snow under the “wets.”
The majority ov*r the “wets” was

“President Kroger made bis offer
to cease hostilities in order that Great
Britain may be responsible for the
slaughter which is iuevitably coming
to her troops,” says George Van Si
clean, of counsel for the Boers in this
country. “The Boers have given the
English a chance to retire gracefully
after recent successes and Mr. Cham
berlain, in letting go the opportunity,
makes himself responsible for the ter
rific carnage of the English soldiery
which must iuevitably ensue. The
offer to cease hostilities was made in
good faith, of course, but I have defi
nite information that it had this double
purpose.” ,
