Interesting Happenings In the
State Gathered at Random.
Commissioner Opposed to Plan.
Much agitation has recently been
given in state official circles to a plan
for the removal of the Georgia experi
ment station from Griffin to Milledge
ville, where, on the newly developed
prison farm, many persons believe the
opportunity for agricultural experi
ment and progress will be much greater
than that now afforded thiough the
comparatively small station at Griffin.
The discussion of this important
chauge has been indulged in to a great
degree among the progressive farmers
of the state since the prison farm met
with its first success last year and
from the present outlook there is every
reason to believe that some measure
looking to the change of the station
will be proposed in the next legisla
ture.
O. B. Stevens, commissioner of ag
riculture, returned a few days ago
from his annual trip to the state prison
farm. He made a thorough inspection
of the place and was delighted with
his Visit. He says the general condi
tion of the farm is the very best, and
♦hat he did not have a single sugges
tion, as to the manner of working the
crops, to make, He emphatically op
posed the plan of connecting the tvo
farms.

Factory In Sight For Coiner.
A company comp'osed of several
prominent men of Comer will build a
factory in the near future. The loca
tion has not yet been settled, but it is
expected that the shoals just one mile
from town will be chosen. The shoals
have been surveyed and was found to
be sufficient to furnish the required
amount of water.

Military Called o ft.
At noon Saturday Governor Candler
was notified in a telegram from Sheriff
A. B. Brewer, of Liberty county, that
the evidences of riot in the vicinity of
Liberty City had entirely disappeared,
and that no further danger wan antici
pated from the negroes.
The following communication from
the sheriff of Liberty was handed Gov
ernor Candler:
“Liberty City, Ga., August 18.—A.
D. Candler, Atlanta: Crowd dispersed
on arrival of troops. Everything quiet
this morning. Don’t think any use in
keeping troops any longer.
“A. B. Brewer, Sheriff.”
Acting on this intelligence, the gov
ernor at ouee directed a dispatoh to
the captain of tke Liberty Guard, the
cavalry troop at Liberty City, ordering
him to disperse his men, but to so in
struct them as to make it possible to
summon tham at a moment’s notice.
Judging from Sheriff’s Brewer’s tel
egram, the end of the disturbance
caused by an attempt to arrest several
negro murderers came, as Governor
Candler predicted Friday, immediately
on the arrival of an armed, uniformed
, body of man.
* *
Peaceable NeroA Are Active.
There are many peaceable negroes
in Liberty and they are controlling
their people well. The rioting has
been caused by a low class of negroes,
who hang about turpentine stills and
gamble for the workers’ hard earned
money. These trifling negroes resent
any attempt made by the whites to
drive them off of their property and
away from their working men. This
feeling aud consequent antagonism in
the whites’ minds culminated in an
outbreak last week when Bob Curtis
was killed in attempting an arrest.
The subsequent rioting and present
strained relation between the races are
the logical result.

Georgia’s Cotton Crop.
Under the capable direction of Com
missioner O. B. Stevens, the Georgia
department of agriculture has compiled
accurate statistics indicating beyond a
doubt that the cotton crop of Georgia
for 1900 will be from 50,000 to 200,000
bales shorter than in 1899. Not only
is such the outlook in this state, but
the information in the possession of
Commissianer Stevens, who aa presi
dent of the Cotton States Commission
ers’ Association, receives reports from
commissioners of the different states,
is to the effect that the south, as a
whole, is short. Indications on the
Ist of August were that every state in
the cotton belt would be behind on the
staple with the exception of Texas, re
ported to be 2 per cent ahead of the
average crop of the last five years.
The astonishing figures on which it
is estimated that Georgia’s supply of
the fleecy staple is away below the av
erage have been in preparation by the
department of agriculture for the past
thirty days. Blank reports were sent
to the leading farmers in every county
with the request that they fill in the
figures showing the exact condition of
aU the crops, with the prospect*
dnm i. Every county that produce*
cotton responded with an estimate for
August Ist with exception of two coun
ties, and these two have been oredited
with a gain of 10 per cent over last
year. As to the accuracy of the total
estimate Commissioner Stevens is sat
isfied, beleiving that his reportwhich
follows in full represents the exact
conditions on August Ist.
The figures prepared by the depart
ment show that an average crop for
the last five years is 1,295,800 bales.
The reports from the counties of
Georgia are that only 74 per cent of
an average crop will be realized.
Twenty-six per cent off the average
crop gives 958,892 bales for the year
against an estimated crop for 1899 of
between 1,000,000 and 1,200,000 bales.
It is further estimated that the re
ports in the hands of the commission
er mat tne cotton acreage is 3 per
cent less than in 1899, and when 3
per cent is deducted from the pros
pects for 1900 it leaves a crop of 930,-
000 bales.

No Fundi Available.
One of the reasons for the collapse
of the Columbus carponters’ strike was
the fact that the strikers received not
one cent from the national organiza
tion. They had expected $6 per week,
per man, and were keenly disappoint
ed when they did not get it. A by
law of the national union says that the
benefits are to be extended to no more
than 3,000 persons at a time. At the
time of the Columbus strike, over
three thousand were already out over
the United States, there being trouble
at Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah aud
other points.

Armories Are Taxable.
The military companies of Savannah
and Augusta are interested in the
question as to whether or not armories
are subject to taxation. The tax re
ceivers of Chatham and Richmond
c mnties have made a demand that the
armories be returned for taxation, and
the military organizations of those
cities owning the armories have re
fused to do so. The contention of the
companies is that the state constitu
tion exempts all public property from
taxation, and the question now arises
as to whether the armories are consid
ered public property. The companies
claim that they are.
Comptroller General Wright has held
that the armories are subject to taxa
tion, but an appeal has been made to
Attorney General Terrell for an opin
ion on the subject. He has the matter
under consideration.
...
Cre*t Increase In Taxable Property.
The increase of taxable property on
Fulton county’s digest of almost half
a million doilarb make it ceriaiu that
the total gain for the state over 1899
will reach §14,000,000 and possibly
more. The chance for an increase
that would surpass anything realiz-ed
in one year in the history of the state
—such as that now issured —has de
pended all along upon the showing
made by Fulton county. Last year
the county showed a decrease of §2,-
000,000 and brought down to an in
siguificent figure the net gain from
the other counties. This year condi
tions have been reversed and the in
crease of Atlanta property makes cer
tain an enormous net gain for th*
state.
Less than a score of counties are
to be beard from, but already the dif
ference between 1899 and 1900 is nearly
§13,000,000, so that little is expected
from the remaining counties in order
to bring the total to the amount pre
dicted by Comptroller General Wright
several months ago. When the first
returns were received he expressed the
belief that a gain of §15,000,000 would
be realized.
...
Davia Declared Nominee.
The executive committee settled the
contest between J. A. McMiehael and
A. H. S Davis at Jackson last Satur
day, by entering the baltot boxes and
making a recount of the votes in the
recent primary. Mr. Davis was de
clared the nominee for clerk of court.
Mr. McMiehael, the present incum
bent, expresses himself as being satis
fied with the result aud will cheerfully
support the nominee.
...
Traitt's Advice to Farmers.
The following from the Atlanta Con
stitution is self-explanatory:
“LaGravge, Ga., August 18.—Ed
itor Constitution: Advise the farmers
through your issue tomorrow to mar
ket no cotton in September under 10
cents. Georoe W. Truitt.”

Railroad Charter Amended.
A certificate of amendment to the
charter of the Georgia Pine Railway
company was issued this morning by
the secretary of state. Ihe company
desires to extend its lines for sixteen
miles in Georgia, and proposes to
build on farther into Florida. The
line bow extends from Arlington to
Bainbridge, Ga., a distance of forty

tension in view for some time, and it
it is expected that the work will be
