GEORGIA NEWS ITEMS
; Brief Summary of Interesting
Happenings Culled at Random.
The Statu’* Income.
Comptroller General Wright has
made the following statement of the
total property increase in Georgia:
The gain in values for 1900 over
1899, including every form of proper
ty* i* 818,788,333. Of this amount
83,489,200 is realized from the rail
roads of the state and $15,299,127
comes from county property.
The taxable property in Georgia is
valued at $436,000,000. and with a tax
rate of 5.20 mills, which has already
been agreed upon, it is seen that the
gross income of the state, upon which
it must be maintained for the year, is
$2,271,539. It has been ascertained
by experience that from the gross in
come 7 per cent must be subtracted
for insolvents, collection fees, etc.,
leaving a net income of $2,112,532.
The foregoing statements of the tax
return do not include two property
items over the valuation of both of
which arbitration will probably be
held. The first is the assessment of
the main lines of the Plant system.
The road beds of the lines involved
were returned by the officials of the
road at a figure agreed upon ten
years ago, and which the comptroller
general, this year, refused to accept.
If the arbitrator in this case sustains
the position of the state the sum of
$757,148 will be added to the total
property return.
The second item is the debentures
of the Atlanta and West Point railroad
aud amounting to $388,509, which the
Georgia railroad will probably refuse to
return for taxation on the ground that
the debentures have never befoiebeen
subject for taxation. These two items
added to the total amount of taxable
property give a total gain over 1899 in
propertv subject to taxation of $19.-
933,981*
It has been generally known for the
past month that the gain for this year
over last year would be phenomenal
and that it might, in fact, approximate
$20,000,000, but now that it is defi
nitely ascertained that that figure has
practically been reached, there is a
demand for some explanation. Never
before in the history of the state has
the gain of one year over the preced
ing one reached such an unusual fig
ure.
A review of the tax returns shows
that the bulk of the gains that have
contributed to the total have been
made in the cotton counties, and par
ticularly in those counties where the
production of naval stores and lumber
is the chief industry.
Comptroller General Wright is of
the opinion that the primary cause
lies in the price received by the farm
ers of Georgia for their cotton last
year. The wonderful impetus given
the lumber and naval stores industry
the first of the year is also believed to
be a primary cause. The develop
ment of the mining property in north
Georgia has also contibuted largely to
the total.
A statement has been made out from
the comptroller general’s office to the
mayors of the different towns and
cities asking to be informed as to the
tax rate levied on the railroads run
ning through the various town and city
incorporations in Georgia. In giving
the tax rate for the state, which is in
cluded in the communication, a mis
take has been made by the printer.
The rate is given at 2$ mills, when it
should have been printed “5.2 mills,”
or $5.20 on SI,OOO.
Talk of a New District.
Politicians and newspapers seem
to have overlooked a very important
matter that the next legislature will be
called upon to transact, namely the
apportionment of the state into con
gressional districts. The new cen
sus will in all probability make Geor
gia entitled to another congressman.
It is evident that there has been a large
increase in the population in the state.
By the census of 1890 Georgia gain
ed a congressman, thus making the
total number of congressmen she has
had since that time eleven. It appears
certain that the number of Georgia con
gressmen will be twelve for the next
decade, commencing in 1903. This
being true, the legislature which will
convene on October 24th next will
have to redistrict the state into twelve
districts, instead of eleven, as at pres
ent. This work will hardly be done,
however, until the session of 1901. A
bill providing for congressional ap
portionment will be introduced in the
house, and referred to the committee
on congressional apportionment, which
committee will be a special one, to be
appointed by the speaker,
• • •
Want Encampment* Re-EtsblUhed.
The military men of the state will
aek the general assembly for an appro
priation sufficient to establish the old
system of state encampments every
year.
No encampments have been held in
Georgia since 1879, and there are no
officers now in the uervioe of the state
but who are anxious to get their com
mands into camp. This year several
of the regiments eatabliataad camps of
their own, bat it was necessary for the
men to be assessed to pay the expen
ses.
Governor Candler is said to be
strongly in favor of the movement,
aud it may that he will reoommend the
measure to the legislature.
• * *
Charges Withdrawn.
The charges that were preferred last
week by Stale School Commissioner
G. R. Glenu against Commissioner
Gwaltnev of Floyd county for failure
to send in his annual report were
withdrawn at the last moment on the
showing made by the Floyd county
official.
Commissiouer Gwaltuey neglected
last year to send in a report necessary
to complete the report of the state
school commissioner to the legislature.
Up to Friday evening no report for the
year had been received from him aud
as result of tk< delay or neglect
Commissioner Glenn preferred charges
with the Floyd connty board of educa
tion. The trial of Gwaltnoy was to
have taken place Saturday, but in the
meantime the report came in, and on
the showing made bv the commission
er, who went himself to Atlauta, Com
missoner Glenn withdrew the charges.
♦ • *
Hold the Cotton Crop.
One of the principal features of the
last session of the convention of the
agricultural commissioners at Raleigh
was the adoption of a resolution ad
vising the farmers to hold their crop
so as not to depress the market by
rushing the staple to market as soon
as the picking season is over. Here
tofore the farmers in the cotton belt
have made a practice of sending the
cotton to market as soon as it was
baled. This the commissioners urge
against, counseling that the erop
should be distributed along during
the entire season to prevent the mark
et becoming congested aud thus cause
prices to break.

H;mk> Capital IncreaMd.
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Maddox-Rucker Bank
ing company, of Atlanta, held Friday,
it was unanimously decided to increase
the capital stock from $160,000 to
$200,000, and at the same time in
crease the surplus from $40,000 to
$50,000, thereby adding $50,000 new
capital to the bank. This stock was
immediately subscribed and paid in by
the present stockholders.
* * •
Was Susplclou*.
The Fidelity and Casualty Insurance
company, of New York, sent special
Representative W. Parsons to Savan
nah to investigate the death of W. O.
Bowden, of Columbus,who was drown
ed in the surf at Tybee a few nights
ago. The company officials have some
suspicions as to the death of Bowden.
Mr. Bowden’s life was heavily insured
and several of the policies were taken
out only a few days before his death
in the surf. This action aroused sus
picion that he is not dead. The body
has never been recovered.
* * *
Solicitor Is Appointed.
W. W. Larsen, of Emanuel county,
has been appointed by Governor Gau
dier to the office of solicitor of the
county court of Emanuel to succeed
Solicitor Frank Mitchell, whose resig
nation has been tendered.
The appointment of Solicitor Larsen
is to hold good until the next meeting
of the general assembly, when all such
judicial appointments will be confirm
ed by the senate.
Ready to Pay For Station.
The Udit e T States government, which
has had charge of the Savannah quar
antine station now for little more than
a year, seems well satisfied to take ad
vantage of the option that was given it
by the city, and is ready to pay the
$20,000 which was fixed as the price
for it. Agreement with the city was
that the United States was to pay
$20,000 for the station if it was found
suitable for the service expected, and
$5,000 for the tug Theckla.

To Arrest All Loafer*.
The mayor of Americus has issued
orders to arrest loafers found loitering

to show cause why they should not be
put to work on the streets of the city
hereafter.
