Georgia’* Growth In Population For ths Last HO Year*. The United States Census Bureau has issued an official bulletin contain ing some interesting figures relative to the increase in population in the state of Georgia for each decade from 1790 to 1900. Prom 1790 to 1900 Georgia’s increase is shown as follows: Years Population Increase 1900 2,216,331 378,978 1890 1,837,353 295,173 1880 1,542,180 358,071 1870 1,184,109 126,823 1860 1,057,286 151,101 1850 906,185 214,793 1840 691,392 174,569 1830-. 516,823 175,838 1820 340,985 88,552 1810 252,433 89,747 1800 162,686 80,138 1790 82,548 The report continues: “The population of Georria in 1900 is very nearly 27 times as large as the population given for 1790, when it was only 82,548. “The total land surface of Georgia is, approximately, 58,980 square miles, the average number of persons to the square mile at tho censuses of 1890 and 1900 being as follows: 1890, 31.1; 1900, 37.5.” * * * Great Will He Battleship “Georgia.” The battleship Georgia, work on which will begin about January 1, will be one of the mjst powerful warships in the world. She will be a veritable terror of the seas and will be one of the greatest ships of the American navy, ranking above the Oregon, the Kentucky, the Kearsarge and the best warships of England and Germany. The United States government is about to contract for the construction of five of the greatest vessels that it is possi ble to build and one of these has been named for the state of Georgia. Tho bids are being considered by the navy department and will bo awarded be tween now and New Year’s day. * + * Sensational Charge This. Harvie Jordan, president of the In terstate Cotton Growers’ Protective association, charge that the govern ment agricultural department, instead of being operated in the interests of the farmers, is being used as a basis for the rankest kind of speculation, to their serious injury. He further avers that the sources froum which this gov ernment secures its information is no longer reliable, and declares that tho fact that this season’s crop is short is too well known for attempts at decep tion on the part of speculators. * * * Bond Election Illegal. Judge Henry has decided that bonds could not be issued legally upon the recent vote cast for them in the elec tion held in Rome for that purpose. Judge Henry holds it is necessary for two-thirds of those registered Tor the special election to vote in favor of bonds in order to validate them. There were 3,000 ou the registration list, and bonds received 1,800. * * * LatimerN Murderer to Hang. T.iey Griffin, who murdered Con ductor Mariou Latimer, of the South ern railway, on October 27th last, and whose trial in Glynn superior court excited a great deal of interest, was found guilty of this crime and has been senteuced to be hanged Jauuary 11. The court room was packed aud those who were spectators say that Griffin displayed wonderful nerve, showing not tho least sign of emotion, but rather seemed unconcerned about his doom. * * * 11 rougilto-n rroinlues to Tell. Rev. Leu G. Broughton arrived in Atlanta from Meridian, Miss., Satur day night and will appear before the board of police commissioners. A special meeting will be called for the purpose of entertaining the doctor and listening to his substantiation of the charges he has made against tho mem bers of the force to the effect that the men drank and gambled at the race course during the recent race meet. + * * I>r, Assistant Editor. At a meeting of the board of trus tees of Tho Wesleyan Christiau Ad vocate, the Methodist organ, held iu At!* inta the past week, I)r. J. W. Heidt was elected assistant editor and busi ness manager of the paper. Dr. Heidt, it will be remembered, was appointed to the presiding eldership of the Rome district at the recent meeting of tho North Georgia 'Methodist conference and Bishop Hendrix, on being uotified of the action of the trustees by Dr. R. J. Bigharn, immediately appointed Dr. W. F. Glenn to succeed Dr. Heidt as presiding elder. * # • Joint Depot Committee Nhmu’il. Another step in the direction of a new depot iu Atlanta on the site of the present car shed was taken by the gen eral assembly, before adjournment, when a joint committee of five mm- Ders rroin the house ana three from the senate was appointed to confer with the lessees of the Western <te At lantic railroad relative to the proposed improvement. The resolution was in troduced in the house at the afternoon session by Representative G. V. Gress, of Wilcox, a former citizen of Atlanta, who has since the beginning of the present legislature taken a lively in terest in the improvement of the state’s terminal property. The resolution is based on the theory that the lessees of the Western and Atlantic will be willing to im prove the depot property, since any depreciation between now and the ex piration of the lease would be felt by the lessee and not by the state. The joint committee of eight mem bers is permitted under the resolution to remain in session but twenty days, but during this time the actual ex penses of the committee are to be paid by the state. * * * •Jacob Beach Indicted. Ex-State Prison Commissioner Ja cob L. Beach has been indicted by the Glynn county grand jury on the charge of embezzlement. The indict meut was found some days days ago and the warrant for Mr. Beach’s ar rest was served upon him in Atlanta last Friday by Deputy Sheriff Robert Pyles. Mr. Beach accompanied Dep uty Sheriff Pyles to Brunswick. In regard to the indictment Mr. Beach says: “Yes, I am indicted for embezzle ment. I heard some time ago that the grand jury now in session intended taking such action, and I came down from my home in Atlanta and remained here several days, but no indictment came until my return to Atlanta. I am ready and anxious for a trial, and j when it comes, I am confident of a complete vindication.” The indictment referred to is based upon certain allegations connecting Mr. Beach’s name with the redemption of numerous Glynn county bonds, al leged to have been fraudulently issued in 1876. It is alleged that he secured a number of these bonds when he was a county officer and had them redeem ed by the county treasurer, after which he secured the same bonds from the treasurer’s vaults and had them redeemed again. Judge Bennett bound Mr. Beach over in the sum of $4,000, which bond was promptly given. * * * Grand Jury Will Investigate. Te grand jury of DeKalb county will begin an investigation of the recent jail deliveries at Decatur. The last on Thursday night, the second in two weeks, caused a sensation throughout the county. The fact that the escape of the prisoners was due to careless ness is not denied by the officials of the county, but there seems to be some difference of opinion as to who is to blame. * * * Increased Capital Stock. At the annual meeting of the stock holders of the Columbus Manufactur ing Company, held the past week, the directors were authorized to increase the company’s capital stock from $400,000 to $500,000. * * * Georgia lAid Alabama Hallway. The annual meeting of the directors of the Georgia and Alabama railway, now a part of the Seaboard Air Line system, was held iu Savannah last Saturday. The officers were re-elected as follows: President, John Skelton Williams; first vice president, Cecil Gabbett; second vice president, J. W. Middlendorf; secretary, W. W. Mack all. • * * Uigc Appointment of Mr*. Atkinson. A large majority of the members of the house, 109 in number, filed a peti tion with Governor Candler urging him to appoint Mrs. W. Y. Atkinson, widow of the lato ex-governor W. Y. Atkinson, as state librarian. The petition bears the names of many of the most prominent members of the house. The petition is as fol lows: “Desiring the success of Mrs. At kinson, wife of ex-Governor W. Y. At kinson, in her candidacy for the office of state librarian, we respectfully re quest your excellency to appoint her to this office. “She is gifted and worthy, practi cally and peculiarly qualified to dis charge that" office. We feel that the ambition of this loyal Georgia woman, who is seeking in an honorable way means with which to rear and educato her children, should be gratified, aud we believe that her appointment to this ofllee named will meet with the hearty approval of your constituency throughout the state.” JOHN ADDISON PORTER DEAD. * Former I’rlvate Bwretary to McKinley l*a*cs Away at ills Home. Johu Addison Porter, formerly pri vate secretary to President McKinley, died Saturday at his residence in Put nam, Conn. He had been sick for many weeks with a maliguaut intesti nal disease. An operation, which was performed nearly two months ago, served to stay the progress of his mal ady, but could not entirely arrest it, aud it lias been evident for a long time to his family and near friends that death was inevitable.
