Arbitrators Selected.
The Plant system has finally refused
t* accept the assessment of its proper
ty for taxation made by Comptroller
General Wright, and the value of
practically 500 miles of the Plant sys
tem line must therefore be determined
by arbitration. Hon. Pope Brown, of
Hawkinsville, representing the state,
and Hon. Pope Barrow, of Savannah,
representing the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway, will form the
committee to settle the difference in
the tax returns made by the railroad
ad the amonnt assessed.
Annual Reunion at Big Shanty.
Cobb’s ami Phillips’ legions will
bold their annual reunion at Big
Shanty, on August 15. Railroads will
give reduced rates.

No Fear of Fever at Savannah,
There is no fear in Savannah over
the yellow fever situation in Tampa.
Health Officer Brunner has been kept
fully posted of the progress of the dis
ease, and when it is considered that the
time has arrived for it, Savannah can
put on a rigid quarantine in ten min
utes.

May Abolish Coavlct Camp.
Interest still centers in the grand
Jury presentments 7
union of the two convict camps in
Bartow county. The felony camp and
the misdemeanor, the former under
the cMitrol aud jurisdiction of the
•tat* and the latter managed by the
county, are located at Sugar Hill. The
convicts from both camps are em
ployed in the mine at that place.
The recommendations of the grand
jury are that the misdemeanor camp
be abolished, as it is declared the
rules and regulations governing mis
demeanor camps are not obeyed and
the prisoners are cruelly treated.
Mr. Tomlinson, who has been in
dicted for involuntary manslaughter,
growing out of the death of Convict
Bankston, has many friends in the
county, where he is popular, who do
not believe the whipping he adminis
tered Bankston had anything to do
with his death.

Sharpe To Tlang August 28th.
Hiram Sharpe, the DeKalb wife
murderer, ia to bang on August 28th.
Sharpe shot his wife to death at the
home of her mother near Lithonia on
December Gth of last year, .and is to
pay the penalty of his crime upon the
little gallows in the jail yard at De
catur. Sharpe was re-sentenced to
hang by Judge John S. Candler a day
or two ago. The condemned man was
completely unnerved, and after hear
ing the words that pronounced his
doom he sat down and cried like a
child.

XV nr on Scalper*.
Railroad officials in Atlanta are
waging a vigorous war against the
scalpers. Hardley a day passes that
some vigilaut conductor or passenger
official does not “lift” transportation
that has been purchased from a ticket
scalper's office. The worthless tickets
are confiscated by the railroad people
and the purchaser has no redress, un
less he cau overawe or otherwise in
duce the scalper to return the amount
paid him for the tickets.
The courts have declared that the
railroads have a right to confiscate all
such tickets when presented by pas
sengers. Any person who tries to ride
on any of the trains going out of At
lanta on a ticket purchased from a
scalper may expect to have his ticket
confiscated and the full cash fare de
manded by the conductor. If the
passenger refuses to pay his far®* be
may, in accordance with a decision re
cently rendered by Justice Little, be
ejected from the train.

Preaftlng An Old Claim,
Richmond county is now after the
Southern Express company for 22
years’ back taxes. Judge William F.
Eve, commissioner of roads and re\e
nues of Richmond county, is not only
pressing the Georgia railroad regard
ing the Atlanta and West Point de
bentures, but he claims that the head
quarters of the Southern Express com
pany are in Augusta, and for that rea
son the compauy is due Richmond
county 22 years’ back taxes.
The company admits the debt, so it
is claimed, but ia not satisfied with
the amount and the property which
the company seeks to tai.

Proposition Rejected.
At a meeting of the Central Federa
tion of Labor at Columbus, it was de
cided to reject the proposition made
by a committee of citizens that the
locked out carpenters return to work
on the teu hour f-ystein day until Oc
tober Ist and adopt the nine hour day

Amendment Heine Advertised.
At the general state election occur
ring October 3d, now less than eight
weeks off, the voters of Georgia will
pass on the constitutional amendment
increasing the Confederate pension
appropriation by including in the list
of pensioners, “widows of Confeder
ate soldiers, who by reason of age and
poverty, or infirmity and poverty, are
unable to provide a living for them
selves.”
Under the existing pension law
those widows alone whose husbands
were disabled or permanently injured
in tho service of the south aan receive
pensions frem the state, and it is
readily seen that should the amend
ment pas a great number of names
will be added to the pension rolls.
The measure received a oonstitu
tioual majority at the hands of the last
legislature, and the act instructed
Governor Candler to advertise the pro
posed amendment once a week for
eight weeks prior to the dt'ection in
each congressional district, that the
voters of the state might be able to
vote intelligently on the question. In
the performance of his duty the gov
ernor has inserted the first proclama
tions.
Famine Fund Growing.
During the past day or so oorsider
able money has been contributed
throughout the state to the fund being
raised in Georgia to assist the famine
sufferers in India. The fuud now
amounts to nearly $3,000.
While much relief has been given
millions of famished beings, the peo
ple are still in a very destitute condi
tion. According to a cablegram re
ceived several days ago from William
H. Fee, United States consul at Bom
bay, who is also chairman of the
auiOiiou*xu<axw- ->*.<• ?^i •
learned that the rainfall is favorable
over the entire famine area, but tha
immediate distress is unabated.
He says there is great suffering, not
only for food, but also for blankets
and clothing. Money is especially
needed for the care of famished, des
titute children, declares Consul Fee,
who also speaks in favor of aiding the
impoverished peasant farmers who are
without crops.

Horticulturist* Adjourn.
After re-electing old officers, the
twenty-fourth annual session of the
Georgia State Horticultural Society

ledgeville in 1901. Just before ad
journment Captain R. E. Park, on be
half of the sooiety, presented the presi
dent, P. J. Berckmans, a handsome
gold watch. President Berckmans was
touched by the mark of esteem and. ac
cordingly responded in a few well
chosen words.
