GEORGIA NEWS ITEMS 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 J.

Kruger Aakpil For Peace To Stop Further SluucMer of Dritons. “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.” , President Coming South.
