GEORGIA NEWS ITEMS 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. • * m 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. ♦ * • Atlanta Park Hill.

Sessions us temporary re ceiver. Mr. Sessious has been em powered by the court to borrow SIO,OOO to be used iu paying off the debts of tho concern. The litigation is said to be a friend ly affair and to have for its purpose the reorganization of tho company. The Marietta paper mill is one of the largest iu the 6outh and has a large output. It is said to be one of 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 Sensational Suit. 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.

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. ♦ * * Textile Machinery Plant Assured. The plan to locate in Atlanta tho plant of tho Southern Textile Machin ery Company is meeting with the greatest success aud enthusiasm among the business men of Atlanta. It is only n question of a day or so before the required subscription of SIOO,OOO will be completed in the city. • • • 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. * • Gainesville la Lucky. A deal was closed at Gainesville the past week by which the Pacolet Manu facturing Company, of Pacolet, S. C., secured control of 85 acres of land on which is located the famous New Hol land Springs property, on which they may erect a $1,000,000 cotton mill.
