Brief Summary of Interesting
Happenings Culled at Random.
Little Damage To Fruit.
Few reports have been received at
the agricultural department in tho last
few days regarding the effect of the
cold weather on the frnit crop of the
stnto, but it is not believed that any
considerable damage has been done.
While the cold in some localities was
severe, it is not thought that the crop
was far enough advanced to materially
injure the early buds.

raying Out School Fund,
Over $200,000, one-fifth of the
school fund of the state, is being paid
out by State School Commissioner
Glenn.
This is the first payment of the
year and the checks are being sent to
the chairmen of the county school
commissioners in every county where
the statement of expenses for tho year
thus far have been rendered.
The fund is apportioned according
to the school population of tho differ
ent counties.
The amounts to be sent to the presi
dents of the boards of education of
the several counties of the state vary,
some of the smallest and least popu
lated counties securing a very small
sum, but sufficient to maintain schools
for the number of children in the
County.
The teachers, regardless of location,
are paid the same, but are in grades,
regulated by the system of the entire
state school machinery.
The statute relative to the payment
fcf school teachers provides that they
shall he paid monthly, but it has been
the custom of the county commission
ers not send in their statements as of
ten as that, and while some of them
receive money from the department
every mouth, the greater number wait
a longer time, and about fivo payments
are made each year.
The appropriation for the schools
this year is about $1,000,000, leaving
SBOO,OOO to be disbursed during the
remaining mouths of the year.

the few large mills in this country
that are not controlled by the paper
trust, and for that reason the outcome
of the preseut litigation will be await
ed with much interest.

A suit brought by the city of Atlanta
agaiust the Anniston Pipe and Foun
dry company and tho Howard-Harri
son Iron company for $50,000 has been
filod in the United States court at Bir
mingham. The city alleges that a trust
has been formed among the pipe men
for the purpose of advancing tho price
of piping.

Fuller Promise, to Talk.
Allen Fuller, the negro who was
convicted of the murder of Mrs. Eu
genia Hamilton Pottle and who is now
under sentence of death in the Macon
jail for the crime, was seen by a cor
lespoudent a few days ago and said
that he would tell something very soon
about the crime which would startle
the people. It will be remembered
that while the trial was ou Fuller in
timated very strtmgly that he was paid
money to put Mrs. Pottle out of the
way. His lawyers did not allow him
to bring out that poiut, however, and
since then he has been silent. Ho in
timated as much by ssyiug that he and
old man Redd were not the only ones
who knew about the killing. He told
1 the correspondent that he would be
! ready to tell all in the next few days.

New Gold Mining Enterprise.
The Nacoochee Mining and Manu
facturing Company, a big new gold
mining enterprise with headquarters
and main offices in Atlanta, is the
latest addition to the list of Georgia’s
resource developers.
With a capitalization of $5,000,000
in view, the promoters of the enter
prise have applied for a charter for the
gold mine to White county superior
court, and the operation of the mine
will begin as soon as the charter is
granted. It will be operated on a
more extensive scale, it is said, than
any gold mine in the south.
The property is in White county, in
the third, fourth, fifth and sixth dis
tricts. The acreage is more than 20,-
000 acres, and it is claimed by the
owners that the richest veins of gold
ore east of the Rocky mountains are
located on the property. There are
several large gold mines in the imme
diate vicinity of the property, all oi
which are paying handsomely, but the
promoters of the Nacoochee mines are
confident their property has an advan
tage over all in the close proximity of
a bouutiful water supply, a large acre
age and a shorter distance to railroad
facilities. It is but fifteen miles to
Clarkesville from the point on the
property where the main part of the
machinery and the mining apparatus
will be erected.
Sheriff Konst, ltniliff.
Sheriff John W. Nelms, of Fulton
has had published a signed statement
regarding the release of “Pegleg” Wil
liams from the Tower on bond, in
which he roasts Bailiff' Gibson, of
Athene, for the statement that that
officer has made to the effect that the
status of affairs in Atlanta was misrep
resented to him by Jailer N. A. Chas
tain.
Dr. Nelms does not mince words,
but asserts that if Bailiff Gibson made
the statement attributed to him, he
has grossly misrepresented the case.
The sheriff even uses stronger lan
guage. He alludes to Bailiff Gibson
as the “lord high bailiff,” and also as
the “pretended deputy sheriff.”
Ho charges that tho officer from
Clarke county was not attending
strictly to his duties, but was “tak
ing in the city and seeing the sights,”
when he should have sought to present
the warrant for Williams to Sheriff
Nelms or his deputies.
Dr. Nelms says that no warrant was
tendered him, and, as Williams offered
bond and the case was bailable, he ac
cepted the security and released the
prisoner.

No New Trial For I.uo.
At Decatur, Saturday, Judge J. S.
Candler heard a motion for anew trial
iu the case of Will Lucas, the negro
who killed Robert F. Davis, on the
night of May 12, last year. The judge
overruled the motion, but the attor
neys for Lucas will carry the appeal
to the supreme court. Lucas has been
tried twice for the murder of Mr.
Davis, and at tho last hearing was
sentenced by Judge Candler to life
imprisonment. /

Iliß Electric Power Plant.
The announcement that a big elec
tric power plant is to bo established
at Talasaee shoals means a great deal
for Athens and vicinity. The middle
Oconee river at that placo will be
made to yield 1,000 horse power, and
that power will be rented to manufac
turers in Athens. Tho furnishing of
cheap electric power is expected to be
an inducement to prospective inves
tors.

ery Company is meeting with the
greatest success aud enthusiasm among
the business men of Atlanta. It is

Atlanta's Interstate Fair.
Work on the subscription list of the
southern interstate fair for Atlanta is
proceeding with a rush, and soon the
necessary amount of $15,000 which will
be used as a guarantee fund, will be
in hand.
The merchants and business men of
the city are alive to tho importance of
making the first of Atlanta’s interstate
fairs a glittering success, and have en
tered into the movement w r ith com
mendable enthusiasm. The state fair
last fall was in the nature of an ex
periment, but that experiment proved
so successful that every merchant in
Atlanta appreciates fully the manifold
beuefits he will derive from future
successes.
