GEORGIA NEWS ITEMS i V 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. * m * 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.” * * * Arbitrators Meet September 3. Hon. Pope Brown and Pope Barrow, of Savannah, will meet in Atlanta on September 2d to arbitrate the tax dif ferences beteen the state and the Plant System railway. * • * 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 miles. The directors have hail an ex tension in view for some time, and it it is expected that the work will be commenced in the next few days on the new line.
