Brief Summary of Interesting
Happenings Culled at Random.
State Tax Kate Reduced.
The state tax rate has been brought
down from 5.36 to 5.20, a reduction
for 1900 over 1899 of sixteen one-hun
dredths of a mill. Governor Candler
and Comptroller General Wright lixed
the rate at a meeting held the past
week. They found that with the in
creased appropriations of the last leg
islature, amounting to practically one
hundred thousand dollars, it would be
impossible, even with a gain of $lB,-
500,000 in property values, to bring
the rate of taxation to a point below
5.20.
When Governor Candler went into
office, over two years ago, the state
rate was fixed at 6.21, and it is seen,
therefore, that he has succeeded in re
ducing the tax one and one oue-hun
droth mills.
The governor announced that he was
gratified that he was able this year to
urge a further reduction of the tax
rate. He had hoped to be able to
make the rate exactly 5 mills, but
found at the last moment that the in
creased appropriations of the last
house and senate made suoh a reduc
tion impossible. The tax for the year
is divided as follows:
For general purposes 2.95, or $2.95
on every SI,OOO.
For school purposes, 2 mills, or $2
on every SI,OOO.
For the sinking fund, i of a mill,
makiag a total in all of 5.20, or $5.20
n every SI,OOO.
The tax rate for the year has been
predicated on a total property value in
Georgia of $435,000,000, including
railroads and every form of property.
This value, compared with that of last
year, indicates a gain for 1900 of prac
tically $19,000,000, which is the largest
from one year to another in the history
of the state.

A Co-Operative Ginnery.
A stock company has purchased tho
$3,000 ginnery belonging to R. W.
Lynch at Brooks Station and will run
it this season in the interest of the
farmers of the section, having already
agreed to place the price of ginning
cotton at $1 per bale.
The machinery is all of the latest
improved pattern, and the building is
a substantial one, with all of the mod
ern conveniences. Every one is look
ing forward to an increased business
this fall on account of the expected ia
crease in cotton receipts, owing to the
low price placed upon ginning by the
new management.

Knterprlslng Kagroet.
The Investment Benetolent Order,
which is composed entirely of colored
people, and whose headquarters are in
LaGrange, has bought 205 acres of
land upon which they propose to build
an industrial school and a widows’ and
orphans’ home. The land purchased
is a portion of what is known as the
old Abner Callaway place, about seven
miles from LaGrange, and is on the
Atlanta and West Point railroad.
Tho deal for the land was made a
day or two ago and already arrange
ments have been made for a sawmill
to be set up oh the plantation and in
the next ten days or two weeks lumber
for the first buildings will begin to be
sawed. The school buildings will go
up first and the others are to follow as
money aud the necessity for them
authorizes. There are 165 lodges of
the Investment Benevolent Order scat
tered throughout Georgia, Alabama
and Florida, which number about
12,000 members. The order is not
yet three years old.

Cotton Grower*’ Active.
The work of the Georgia Cotton
Growers’ Protective Association, which
has for its object the protection of the
farmers of the state and the establish
ment annually through legitimate
means of fair prices for cotton, has
progressed to that degree where sub
branches have been organized in a ma
jority of the counties of Georgia. A
call has been issued by the president
of the association for meetings to be
held on September 4th in all counties
where organization has not been per
fected. Out of the 137 counties cot
ton is raised in 115, and it is probable
that in ail of these sub-branches of the
state association will be in working
order by the last of September.

Houston Muddle Settled.
By an order of the state board of ed
ucation George W. Smith’s election to
the office of county school commission
er of Houston is declared illegal and
another election by the county board
to fill the vacancy will be held at once.
The decision of the state board, com
posed of Governor Candler, Attorney
General Terrell, Comptroller General
Wright and Secretary of Stale Cook,
determines finally an issue which has
been bitterly fought over in Houston
county. It reverses not only the de
cision of thfe-county board of Houston,
'arid that of the grand jury of the coun-.
ty, bui sets aside the opinion of the
state school commissioner, who held
that Smith had been legally elected
commissioner.
The state board in reaching a decis
ion considered alone what it believed
to be the law. The proposition was
laid down that the whole matter de
pended on Smith’s intention, whether
he intended to remain a citizen of
Houston or go to Dooly.
The rtrongest act on Smith’s part
tending to show his intention in the
matter wa9 not what he said; was not
that he went to Houston with the pur
pose of casting his vote there; was
not that he rode over to Houston once
a week. The one overt act that above
all others indicated his intention was
that he actually cast his vote ou two
occasions in Dooly county.

Can Condemn Tracks.
Judge John S. Candler, at Atlanta,
denied the petition for injunction of
the Atlanta Railway aud Power com
pany, filed to prevent the Atlanta
Rapid Transit company from con
demning the power company’s tracks
on Peachtree and Whitehall streets.
The suit was originally brought by
the Central Trust company of New
York, but on Friday morning, when
Judge Candler held that the trust
company’s interests were fully protect
ed, and that consequently it had no
standing in court, the power company
then asked to be stricken as party de
fendant and made party plaintiff.
This was done aad the two com
panies having changed places, the case
proceeded with the Atlanta Railway
and Power company vigorously op
posing the contemplated condemnation
of its tracks by the rival street car
company.
After the court rendered its decision
the power oompauy gave notice of an
appeal to the supreme court of the
state, but Judge Candler declined te
grant a supersedeas and allowed the
work of condemnation to proceed.

Unique Tax Digeet.
The tax digest of Richmond county,
received at the office of Comptroller
General Wright, presents some of the
most unique features in the way of
figures ever seen in connection with a
county digest. The statement shows
that less than one-half of the taxpayers
of the county failed to make return of
their property. This lowers all former
records, and places Richmond in a
class all to itself.
The book shows that the single
value of the property of defaulters in
the county is $670,680, which, being
doubled, according to the law, reaches
the sum of $1,341,300. The most re
markable showing in the digest, how
ever, is that there are 8,615 defaulting
poll taxes, which amounts to almost
the total vote Richmond is capable of
polling in an election. Of this number
?,792 are white defaulters, and the re
maining 4,823 arb colored. These
8,615 citizens must pay their poll tax
before they can register and vote in
the coming state eleotion.

To “lltdoem*’ Soldiers 9 Noams.
A strong and determined effort is t#
be made to have the old Soldiers’
Home do the duty for which it was
constructed aearly nine years ago.
Plans are now on foot looking ts
the opening of the home for confeder
ate veteraus, and those directly inter
ested in the movement feel confident
that something definite will be accom
plished.
In reality two plans are being dis
cussed. One is to have a bill intro
duced in the legislature this fall seek
ing to have the state take charge of
the institution and support it, as was
originally intended.
If this is refused by the legislature,
then that body will be asked to ap
propriate the sum of $5,000 to pay off
the present indebtedness of the home.
This includes taxes, repairs and ser
vices of watchman.
- In case this last plan is successful,
private citizens will pledge themselves
to put the home in operation and see
that it is made to accomplish all that
was intended for it. It is confidently
hoped, however, that the first and
original plan will succeed.
Preliminary work on behalf of this
plan has been made, and a number of
the men who will represent then: coun
ties and districts in the legislature this
year have expressed themselves as
heartily in favor of the movement.
Many have pledged themselves to sup
port a measure looking to the owner
ship and operation of the home by the
•state.

ded that the private telegraph lines of
