arty left by Mr. Comer and the values ,

No Negro Enumerator*.
Muscogee county will have no col
ored census enumerators. In the
original appointments made recently
two of the twenty-one appointees were
negroes. These two enumerators,
John W. Dawson and Amelia Thomas,
have been removed. This was brought
nbout through the influence of Con
gressman Adamson, it is understood.
It was represented that a fair count
coukl not be had with colored enu
merators, as white people would feel a
disinclination to receive negroes in
their houses and answer fully the
questions propounded, some of them
of a rather delicate nature.
* * *
Meets Next In Atlanta.
The Georgia State Pharmaceutical
Association, which met in Savannah the
past week, decided to hold its next
meeting in Atlanta next May, but the
exact date has not been decided.
There were no votes against Atlanta
when the selection was made. The
association suggested on the last day
of its meeting five names to Governor
Candler, from which he will select one
to fill the annual vacancy on the
Georgia state board of pharmacy.

Escaped Convict Captured.
Fulton county officers caught Tom
Bundy, a negro convict who escaped
three years ago from a camp in Ogle
thorpe county.
The negro was working out a three
years’ sentence for an assault with ia
teut to murder and escaped in July,
1896.
It was ascertained that he was in
Atlanta, and a trap was set for him.
The officers caught him in a saloon on
Deeatnr street.
If Bundy had remained in the peni
tentiary he would have served ont his
three years several months ago, but he
will have to begin all over again.
There was a reward for his capture.
* * *
Gone To Alaska.
From sunny Georgia to icebound
Alaska Company B of the Seventh
regimeut are being transported, and
the men were glad to go. The com
mand left Fort McPherson, near At
lanta, Saturday afternoon, in a special
train of four Pullman sleepers and two
baggage cars. The regulars do net
dislike Georgia’s climate. It wasn’t
thnt which made them impatient for
the hour of departure to come. They
think they will strike it rich in the
Ivlondike and return to the states in a
year or two as millionaires.
* * *
Will Try Co-Operative Plan.
A cotton mill on the co-operative
plan is to be' tried in Augusta. It is
announced that as many shares as pos
sible are to be placed among opera
tives, the idea being that these opera
tive stockholders shall constitute the
working force of the mill, the profits
in dividends thus going to those who
made them.
• * *
After l’rofe**ion:l “Delinquents.”
Lawyers, doctors and dentists who
have been practicing in Fulton county
without paying the required profes
6tonal tax of $lO a year, will he made
to pay up or abandon their professions.
At the request of the grand jury Tax
Collector Stewart lias been ut work
compiling a list of the attorneys, den
tists and doctors who have paid their
taxes. Mr. Stewatt completed his list
of lawyers first and they numbered
210. According to the directory there
are 322 lawyers in Atlanta.
These figures indicate that a very
large number, more than a hundred.
are practicing without license. Home
of those who practice in Fulton coun
ty pay their professional tax in other
counties. They will reduce the number
of apparent violators of the law
slightly.
* * *
Unique School Ca*e.
Has any school which receives its
pro rata share of the common school
fund of the state the right to compel
the study of any subject other than
those prescribed by law? This is the
issue in a case from Polk county, dook
eted in the state supreme court. The
issue has been decided m the negative
by the superior court of Polk county,
and on the decision of the court of the
last resort a precedent will be estab
lished not only of general interest
throughout the state and among the
people who are more closely identified
with the common system than with
any other institution, but a precedent
of unusual importance.
In the Samuel Benedict Memorial
School, of Polk county, the 13-year
old child of Dr. William Bradford was
directed by her teacher, J. M. Hunt,
to prepare a debate on the subject:
“Resolved, That the American Sys
tem of Jury Trial Should Be Abolish
ed.” From the record in the case it
appears that the young girl’s father re
quested that she tie excused from par
ticipation in the debate, the subject of
which she was not capable of grasping.
Tho request was refused on the ground
that a teacher is a hatter judge of a
pupil’s capacities than are its parents.
* * m
Meeting of tli* l I>. Y. P. U.
The sixth annual convention of tha
Baptist Young People’s Union of Geor
gia will meet in Atlanta June 13-21. st.
The sessions will be held a> the Taber
nacle Baptist church. This will prob
ably be the largest con vention meet
in Atlanta during the year. The at
tendance at the convention last year
in Columbus was over 500 and the
meeting this year will doubtless be
much larger.
• * *
Fra*l Growers Meet.
The Georgia Fruit Growers’ Associ
ation met with a very large attendance
in Macon, the past week, to discuss
railroad rates, etc. The meeting was
called to order by President Dudley
M. Hughes. In addition to the large
number of the leading fruit growers
present there were many railroad so
liciting agents representing the vari
ous lines interested in handling the
Georgia frnit crop. These were there
to look after the interest of their re
spective lines.

Wheat Growers To Convene At Macon.
Hon. J. Pope Brown, president of
the Georgia Wheat Growers’ Associa
tion, has called a meeting of wheat
growers at Macon July 12th, at noon.
In his official call President Brown
says:
“By the liberality of the Macon
chamber of commerce, supplemented
by the contribution of The Macon Tel
egraph, the sum of $250 in gold will
be awarded to tho growers of best
wheat. A bountiful providence has
smiled upon us, as the most extended
fields of golden grain now attest. Let
us all attend—rejoice in the glorious
harvest—and renew again our pledges
and exertions to put Georgia to the
front.”
NOW A BRITISH COLONY.
England Proclaims Annexation of
Free State By Ceremonies
At Bloemfontein.
A Bloemfontein special says: Amid
salutes and cheers and the singing of
“God Save the Queen,” the military
governor, Major General Prettyman, at
noon Monday formally proclaimed the
annexation of the Orange Free State
under the designation of the Orauge
River Colony. The ceremony was
somewhat imposing nnd the scene in
the market square inspiring. An im
mense concourse had gathered and the
town was gay with bunting. The bal
conies and windows surrounding the
square were crowded with ladies.
The troops were drawn up under
command of General Knox and enter
tained the spectators. Accompanied
by General Kelly-Kenuy and staff and
escorted by the Welsh yeomanry, they
were greeted with cheers, and in
a clear voice, heard in every
square, General Prettyman read Lord
Robert’s proclamation annexing the
Orange Free State, as conquered by
her mrjesty’s forces, to the queen's
dominions, and proclaiming that the
state shall henceforth be known as
the Orauge River colony.
Lusty cheers greeted the conclud
ing words of the proclamation, and
these were renewed with ever increas
ing volume as Lord Acheson unfurled
the royal standard and the bands
struck up “God Save the Queea.
China Must lake Action.
The diplomatic corps at Peking
have decided to ask the Tsung Li Ya
men (Chinese foreign office) to define
explicitly the measures which the gov
ernment intends to take in dealing
with “boxers.”
Two Sheriffs Killed By outlaws.
A special from Thompson’s Springs,
