The net increase in the taxable prop erty of Georgia is just $17,475,646 These figures are made public by Com troller Wright, who has just completed his annual report. The increase in general property is $15,227,336 and in railroad property $2,227,336. This increase in taxable values based on the present rate of 5 2-10 mills would bring into the state treasury an additional sum oi $90,873, which, but for the constitutional amendment recently adopted pensioning indigent widows, would result iu lowering the tax rate. There seems to be a wide difference of opinion as to just how muc’i money will be needed to pay ihe widows’ pen sions. Commissioner Lindsay seems to thiuk it may amount to $250,000 or $3®0,000, while other state officials do not believe it will be over $50,000 for the first year or two. On this depends whether or not the tax rate <m be lowered, but it is known that every effort will be made to do so. The total value of general property returned for taxation iu the state is $388,154,413, and of railroad prop erty $46,181,721, but this does not include the Southwestern, Georgia, Western and Atlantic and those roads which pay a tax on their income. These would add another $18,000,000 to the value of railroad property. The state treasurer’s report for the fiscal year just ending shows receipts of $3,542,069.69 and disbursements of $3,564,647.11. The state had a sur plus in the treasury a year ago of $438,723.72. That surplus is now $416,146.30, but it will be increased by about $200,000 when the next pay ment from the sale of the Northwestern railroad is received. Tre Mirer Speer Iletired on 24th. Treasurer Speer, who has been in chargo of the linauces of the state for the past four years, will retire on Oc tober 24tb, and Jvill be succeeded by Treasurer-elect R. E. Park, of Macon. Treasurer Speer has made a remark able record while in office and leaves the treasury in splendid condition. He succeeded the late R. U. Hardemau, but for a mimber of years previous had been couueeted with.the treasury department. Mr. Park announces that he will re tain the same office force as was em ployed by Treasurer Speer. The force consists of Captain C. T. Furlow, assistant treasurer,and Sterling Grimes Turner, cashier. * • * Appointment Only Temporary. As will be seen from the following order, the appointment of Colonel Byrd as adjutant general of Georgia is a temporary appointment, and holds only until the expiration of the present term of Governor Candler, which ex pires on October 27th: State of Georgia —Executive Office, Atlanta, October 11, 1900—Whereas, a vacaucy exists in the office of adju tant general, occasioned by the death of General John Mclntosh Kell, and the best interests of the military of the state demnnd that said vacancy be fill ed, it is therefore Ordered, That the assistant adjutant general, Colonel Phil G. Byrd, be and lie is hereby appointed adjutant gen eral, to serve as such till the expira tion of the present term of the present governor, and until his successor is appointed and qualified. A. D. Candler, Governor. The probability is that the successor of General Byrd, whoever he will be, will not be appointed for two or three weeks after the inauguration of Gov ernor Candler. j * * * Frank Weldon, Oil Inspector. Mr. Frank Weldon has been ap pointed inspector of illuminating oils for the district of Atlanta to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Inspector J. P. Atkinson some days ago. His term will expire October 1, 1302. The appointment of Mr. Weldon to this office, which is one of the best po sitions in the disposal of the commis sioner of agriculture, gives pleasure to the many friends of the appointee and to the state officials. Mr. Weldon was formerly a popular member of The At lauta Constitution staff. * * * Top Crop “Uyth.” The government’B bearish cotton re port causes considerable talk among the farmers and cotton men of the state. All who express opinions from the farmer’s point of view state that it is ridiculous to talk about a top crop in Georgia or Alabama, because in many fields the cows a/e now follow ing the pickers, and the last of the crop will be marketed in a short while; but even where the plant is late it is short lived, and could not possibly be made to produce n top crop. However, it is agreed that the farmers have not been in a better condition since the war, and many whose backs have been bent by the weight of heavy mort gages are now free from debt and bavo I hank accounts. And they, tha/ tney have learned well the lesson of diversified farming. • • • Fruit Growen Not Discouraged. Regardless of the past season, which was only partly successful to the fruit crop of the state, the Georgia growers are preparing for extensive addition to their orchards and are already con tracting with the big nurseries of tha country for thousands of peach trees. State Entomologist Scott returned to Atlanta a day or tr~ 'go and orought with him the announcement that by this time next year Georgia will have practically 1,000,000 more fruit trees than are to be found in tha state at present. * • • Hardwick Will Try Again. Representative Hardwick, of Wash ington county, says that he will again introduce his bill limiting the suffrage at the opening of the next general assembly. He expresses great confi dence that the measuro will secure fa vorable consideration when presented, despite the overwhelming defeat of the proposition at the last session. He thinks there has been a change in legislative sentiment aud Buys he may make some modifications iu the orig inal draft. • • • Special Meeting of Slate fimbalmers. The Georgia State Board of Em balmers will hold a special meeting in Atlanta on October 27th for the pur pose of examining applicants for the state license. The board is only required by law to hold one meeting a year, but this special meeting is held for the accom modation of those who could not ap pear before the last meeting, which oocurred in Savannah. The meeting in Atlanta will be held at 24$ West Alabama street, and it is expected that there will be about twenty-five appli cants present. The board will be in session perhaps two days. * • • Surfeit of Prosperity. Asa result of the prosperous condi tions now prevailing in Georgia and the increase in business which has followed, charges have beau brought against the Southern railway iu the railroad commission of Georgia for failure to supply the demand for cars. This complaint was filed a few days ago by the citizens of Maysville aud Villa Rica, who allege that traffic is congested in both towns and that they are suffering an injury as a result. The road’s officials promised to make every effort to relieve the con gestion at the points mentione at thed earliest possible moment. If the road complies the matter will probably drop where it is, but if not, then the commission will proceed with a further investigation. Depends on the Slate. If the railroads entering Atlanta agree to pay as rental 6 per cent per annum on the cost of a union station to be erected by the state, the outcome of the recent conference between the railroads and the depot commission will in all likelihood be that before the close of 1901 Atlanta will have a new depot on the site of the present one, costing between $400,000 and $600,000. If the new station is erected it will be erected by the state and not by the railroads. Through the president of the lessee road, Major J. W. Thomas, the aunouuceraent was formally made that it is out of the question for the depot to be built by the railroads. That proposition is no longer in con templation. • ... Griffin*. Carnival a Success. Secretary Searcy, of the Griffin car riv*al company,made a statement show ing that after paying all expenses and outstanding bills there was a balance on hand of $872.20. After some dis cussion it was decided to leave the amount in the hands of President Drake, to be out at interest as a nucleus for a carnival fund for next year. It is now a settled fact that Griffin will have another carnival next year. ... Periodical Inspection Recommended. Inspector General Obear in his an nual report to the adjutant general of the state, strongly recommends that the eight military schools of Georgia which have been supplied at the state’s expense with arms and accoutrements bo inspected periodically as contem plated by law. The report points out that while these institutions are bene ficiaries of the state to a certain de gree, they have never beon subjected to an inspection with the idea of en couraging the worthy ones and de priving the unworthy of the state’s equipment. * • Farmer I. Assassinated. News was received in Valdosta Satur day that Youman Padgett, a well known farmer of the Cat Creek dis trict, was shot aud instantly killed by an unknown assassin while at the house of a neighbor, Thomas W. Ray, assisting in nursing a sick child. Pad gett was about to retire aud walked to the door, when the fatal shot was , tired, and he fell dead. The as sassin escaped and there is no clue to his identity. It is supposed that Pat gett was shot in mistake for Ray.
