In response to a call issued by
Chairman Clay, there was meeting
of the state democratic executive
committee in Atlanta yesterday.
There were several important mat¬
ters to he considered.
( hie of the pleas put forth in
Nobles’ behalf is that she is ‘the
mother of twelve children, says
the Dawson News. The fact seems to
be ignored that the man slie killed
was the lather of twelve children.
After all, that is said, the financial
question is narroved down thus: If
you are a democrat you will endorse
the platform of iHy2, and if you
stand on that platform you cannot
consistently favor unlimited fret coin¬
age at u ratio of l6 to I.

About a year ago Col. |t*sse Wal

by Ananias. We were perfectly sat

ity until Livingston toid about that
pretended conversation with Smith
at Cordele. We will have no license

Lev. j. L. I nderwood, ot Camilla,
has been elected one of the faculty of
Bethel college at Cuthbert. He is a
scholarly Christian gentleman, and
Cuthbert is to lw* congratulated on
this acquisition to her splendid corps
ot educators. He was a former re¬
spected employer of the writer, and
we are glad he will be located so
near us.
The Supreme Court ol Georgia
has handed down an important de¬
cision in reference to the public
schools. It came up on a case from
the Rome public schools, involving
matriculation or contingent tees. The
court holds that admission fees can
not be imposed in the public schools
of any city, as such charge is uncon¬
stitutional.
Dawson and Fort Valley played a
match game of base ball in Columbus
for *ioo a side. The money had
been deposited in bank, and was fair¬
ly won by the Dawson nine, but
when they called for it they found
that it had been made payable to a
Fort Valley man, and the Dawson
boys are justly indignant. It was a
shabby trick.

The governor and comptroller
general, upon whom the duty de
volves, have fixed the tax rate for the
..next fiscal year at 4 56 mills, made
up of 2 80 mills lor general tax, 1 50
mills for the school lund. Last year
the tax levy 3 was 4 37 mills. The
shgnt ,. increase is due , to the tailing - oil
of the tax returns of about
ooo, and the requirement of raising
*ioo,oi\> tor the sinking fund, which
wo.s nut included in the tax levy last
year.
John .1. Ingalls; the renowned Kan

“Not wholly defunct, but on its death
bed; ill with an incurable malady: its
pulse fluttered, its respiration 1 is la-

was asked what caused the near de¬

“It has suffered more from its doc¬

Mrs Martha Noe was arrested on
the classic streets of Little Rock be

of that old-fashioned borough to be
cavorting in male attire. She had on

The report ol the weather crop bu¬
reau for the past week shows that the
crops throughout the state have been
greatly injured by the rains. The
following is the summary of the re
l )orts: “Too much rain is reported
from nil portions of the stale... Cot

there is also an increase of rust. The
bolls are opening rapidly, and in
some localities, prematurely, Corn

jured, and a considerable amount to
tally ruined. J/inor crops and vege
tables are in a flourishing condition.”

We had the pleasure of meeting
our editor a few days ago. We think
he must have lyaci a list of new sub¬
scribers in his pocket, he looked so
pleasing.

kind and sweet a lady.
We are going to have a pigeon

j lias disappointed us so many times.
