GEORGIA NEWS ITEMS Interesting Happenings In the State Gathered at Random. Truitt’* Cotton Estimate. Mr. George W. Truitt, of Tronp county, who antagonized the mill esti mate last year by one which only miss ed the truth by a few thousand bales, is again in the field. “I figure out," said he, “that the crop now coming into market will not be over 9,250,000 bales. This is the maximum. There are conditions ahead of us which may pull even this esti mate down. “For 1901-2 we will again have a short crop. The exodus of negro labor to engage in other callings, the indif ference which always seizes upon them when there is plenty in the land, will keep the crop down. The desire of land owners to increase their acreage will be more than offset by the failure of the negroes to work. * * * Augusta Mills Shut Dawn. The King and Sibley Mills, Augus ta’s two largest cotton factories, have been temporarily shut down. They will devote two weeks to making some repairs and hope that in this time the price of cotton goods may have changed so as to have enabled them to run again without serious loss. * * * Fine Stock Exhibit Promised. One feature of the Southern Inter state fair, to be held in Atlanta, that ha3 received little attention during the past few weeks aud one that bids fair to excel in interest and comprehen siveness similar features at former fairs will be the stock exhibit. Already applications have been received from prominent breeders and stock raisers all over the country for every inch of stall room on the grounds. If neces sary more stalls w ill be built to accom modate stockmen who wish to exhibit their cattle. * * * Gcoinln’* “Noble Example.” A letter just received from Mr. L. T. Chamberlin, chairman of the execu tive committee of one hundred in New York, says: “The noble example of Georgia is becoming an inspiration to our work in other parts of the country. We are now seeking to organize more than one northern state essentially on the same plan.” A further extract says: “The pros pect of the coming harvest is far from satisfactory. The wasted, emaciated peasant farmers, their oxen being dead, have not been able to properly prepare their lands. In many in stances they have not been able to procure the proper seed iu proper quantities. This condition necessitates crops far below the average. And now it appears that drought may return. There can be no doubt that the situa tion after next November will be in tensely distressful." * * + Factions Must Agree. Chairman F. G. dußignon, of the Democratic state executive committee, says that Chatham county comes with in the recent provisions of the state committee with regard to organization. Chatham has been unable to get anew executive committee so far, owing to the disagreement between the local factions, which has been quite bitter. Mr. dußignon informs the polticians of both factions that they must come to some agreement within the next few days, aud if they fail to do so, he will order an election held for the purpose of selecting an executive committee. So far the local factions have been un able tq come anywhere near an agree ment. • * * Ainericus Msy Build Plant. Unless the Yirginia-Carolina Chem ical company decides to operate its fertilizer plant in Americus a local company stands ready to build one. The splendid plant which was built and operated by a home company was sold to the great guano trust. A year ago one of the buildings was burned aud since that time the plant has been closed down and much of the machine ry removed to Macon. * • • To Care For Troup’s Grave. Some days ago the Young Men’s Business League of Dublin inaugurat ed a movemeut to exhume the remains ai Governor George M. Troup, which are buried just over the line of Laurens iu Montgomery county, and reinter them in Dublin. To do this the consent of his near jst relatives was necessary and all but one has given assent to the proposi tion. It is the intention of the busi ness league to invite all of the Georgia congressmen, senators, statehouse of ficials aud other prominent citizens to be present at the reinterment. The grave of Governor Troup has been long neglected and the Young Men’s Business League of Dublin in tends that hereafter it shall be proper ly looked after. * • • Tax FJfcures Being Given. Captain “Tip” Harrison, of the tai department, in the office of the comp troller general has so far received re turns from 76 counties of the state con taining the county rato of taxation for the year. He sent out the notices several weeks ago. The counties make a re port of the county tax rate every year. In the report it is also stated the num ber of cities in the counties aud the city rate of taxation. The highest rate reported by any county so far is that of Mclntosh, the rate being $11.50 on the SI,OOO. Bald win follows with a rate of sll on the SI,OOO. The highest city rate comes from Fitzgerald, it being $15.50 on the sl,ouo. Savannah follows with a rate of $14.50, aud Macon comes next with $12.50. • • • Hon. John P. Shannon Dea<l. Hon. John P. Shannon died at El bertou Samlay morning of Bright’s disease. He hail been ill for some months, but his death was not expect ed so soon. He retired Saturday night feeling about as well as usual, but died rather suddenly at 2 o’clock Sunday morning. Colonel Shuunon was born in Elber ton in 1851 and has been one of El beriou’s most promineut and beloved citizens. He was at one time a presi dential elector of the eighth district, when Cleveland was a candidate for the first time. This was his oniy po litical office. Three years ago ho was elected supreme dictator of the Knights of Honor of the United States, and just recently was ro-elocted to that position. * * * School Bond Bids Op© nod. The finance committee of the Mon roe city council Diet and opened the bids for ths purchase of the issue of sl§,ooo school bonds. Inquiries had been made by bond people over the couutry and much interest was manifested in the sale. There were twelve bids handed iu to the commit tee, and of these the bid of Mr. Itoby Robinson, of Atlanta, was found to be the highest, offering a very handsome premium on the 6 per cent bonds. * * * Columbia I‘ariiifirs to Meet. The Cotton Growers’ Protective As sociation of Colombia county will meet and organize at Appling on Sep tember 25th. Four-fifths of the farm ers of the county are expected to at tend. There will also be a delegation from the Augusta exchange aud board of trade. Also a delegation from Thom son.
