GEORGIA NEWS;
Epitomized Items of Interest
Gathered at Random.
First Frost for Georgia.
Some farmers in Spaluing county
reported a light frost in low places
two nights the past week. This is the
earliest ever known.
Crops Badly Damaged.
The annual bulletin to he issued by
the state department of agriculture
will show that the Georgia crops have
been badly damaged during the past
few weeks-, and that the cotton crop
will be much shorter than last year.
The bulletin is now being prepared
and will be distributed in a few days.

Deluge of Pension Vouchers.
Pension Commissioner J. W. Lind
sey has been deluged with pension
vouchers, and it now appears that tha
1 ension list will be larger in 1904 tlc.ii
ever before. He has given notice that
all vouchers must be filed with him
by the first of October and this partial
ly accounts for the heavy mail at the
< iose of the month.
Pullman Cvro for Columbus.
A telegram received by President
I -ott, of the Columbus board of trade,
from J. R. Alston Cargill, the commit
tee of one from the board in Wash
ington, D. C., brings the news that be
ginning September 27 the Southern
v.lll operate Pullman sleepers into Co
lumbus from Washington. The boarl
has been working for this a long time.

To Collect Georgia Building Stones.
C. H. Maybew, of Washington, has
been appointed by State Geologist
Yeates to collect building stones
throughout the state to be used at the
St. Louis exposition in the Georgia ex
hibit. Mr. Mayhew was engaged in
similar work for the state in 1895,
and is regarded as a very competent
nan. He will begin work in a Tew
days.

No Million-Dollar Depot.
It is learned from an authoritatfeiv#
source that the cost of Atlanta’s new
depot structure on which bids were
recently submitted will be less than
$330,000, and not a million as has been j
reported. The cost of the train shed
will be as much more since it is to 1
be an iron structure, and the new j
tracks will form quite an expensive'
item.
Sale of Road Postponed.
Judge J. J. Kimsey postponed the
sale of the Gainesville, Jefferson and
Southern railroad from September 15
until December 15, upon the petition
of Frank H. Miller, et. al., represent*
ir.g all the bonds which have been ap
proved by the courts.
It will bo remembered that Judge
Kimsey fixed the upset price at
SB,OOO per mile, and this is one of ti e
points to be contested by the parties
represented by Msr. Miller.

, Woofter Succeeds Chappell.
T. J. Woofter, of Athens, has not!
tied State School Commissioner W. E.
Merritt that he would accept the posi
tron on the state senool book sub
commission. He was named several
days ago to succeed J. Harris Chap-
I ell, of Milledgeville, who declined to
serve. The meeting of the commission
will be held on September 29th, when
the members will discuss the book sit
uation with the state hoard of educa
tion.

Test of Vagrancy Law.
The Calvin vagrancy law was tested
In one of the Atlanta city courts the
past week, when an attempt was made
to prove it unconstitutional. The mat
ter came up through a petition for
habeas corpus made in the case of
or.e Jim Morton, a negro, con viced
of vagrancy and held in confinement
through failure to give bond to the
court in the sum of ?150.
The prisoner's attorney contended
that the vagrancy statutes was uncon
stitutional in that it was merely defin.-
tive of vagrancy, and attached no pen
alty to the offense. Be therefore
contended that the imprisonment of
the negro was illegal, and asked for
his release on those gronuds. The
point was overruled and tne ease will
le appealed to the supreme court.
* * *
A Nice Legal Point.
A pretty point of law has arised out
of the petition of Judge W. L. Yen.t
tde. at Atlanta, regarding his resigna
tion as justice of the peace, which
■wits filed a few days ago.
The majority of the lawyers in the
city hold that Judge Venable's resigna
:ion is not valid, as It was handed to
!i.o governor, and that he has no a-.i
thority to accept it. They argue that
t he only person who can accept a res
ignation is the offleia? who make the
sppointmonL This would make Judge
Lumpkin, of rbe county superior court
the officer to acc*pt»lhe resignation of
üßdge V&natrte. and he cannot do Eli*
in this instance, as the document is
not addressed to him.
The attorneys maintain that the po
sition assumed by Judge Venable, who
reconsidered his resignation, is a cor
lect one, and that it will be so held
by the courts.

Comparison of City Tax Rates.
Returns of city tax rates of many
ol the prominent towns and cities m
the state have been made to Comp
troller General Wright to the end that
he may determine how much the rail
reads and other corporations which
make their returns exclusively to him
will have to pay to such municipal cor
porations.
Only one town has been heard from
so far which has no tax rate, and that
is Wbigham. The rales in the impor
tant cities and towns on each SI,OOO
cf property are as follows:
Atlanta, $12.50; Savannah, $14.50;
.Macon, $12.50; Augusta, $12.50; Co
lumbus, sl2; Athons $10; Griffin, $10;

Fertilizer ©ufietin Out.
The new fertilizer bulletin of the
siate department of agriculture for
the season 1902-’O3 was received from
the press a few days ago. This is one
of the meet interesting and important
documents the department has evirr
issued, containing as it does many
features whfeh have not heretofore
been covered.
In addition to covering the situation
thoroughly as regards fertilizers, the
department has added a new feature
this year. The book contains also
bulletins on cotton, corn, wheat, sugar
cane, hay and grasses, fruits and truck
farming. Each of these subjects is
(hscq**ed historically, and the prag
mas of each crop in the state is show n.
These* bulletins were prepared by As
sistant Commisioner or Agriculture R.
F. Wright and Professor J. T. Dem\y,
and they will prove a valuable addi
tion to the agricultural literature of
the state. The bulletin has been pub
lished in sufficient numbers for distri
bution among the farmers of the state
and those to whom it will be of inter
est and value.
Charged With Obscene Letter.
George H. Wade, formerly vice
president of the Josephine mills, of
C'edartown, swore out a warrant a few
days ago before United States Commis
sioner Carter, at Atlanta, against C.
E. Kuster, president of tne Kuster
Manufacturing Company, of Cedar
town, charging him with sending an
obscene letter through the mail.
Mr. Wade charges that C. E. Kuster
is the author of a letter sent to him
seme months ago, telling him that his
wife was too intimate with three of .he
most prominent citizens of Polk coun
ty, personal friends of Mr. Wade, and
men whom he declared to be innocent
of the charge mane agaisnt them.
Mr. Wade is at preesnt living in Os
wego. N. Y., but has returned to Geor
gia, determined to prosecute the man
whom he believes slandered thp good
name of his wife.
Both parties are prominently con
nected and are well known both in
Georgia and in -—her states.

Governor’s Farm is Booming.
There are a fereat many admirers
of Governor Terrell, who are not
aware that he has been as successful
at farming as In the administration
of the office of governor. But such is
the fact.
Governor Terrell is still engaged in
farming, for he has several fine plan
tations down In Meriwether county, t*
which he devotes a great deal of his
spare time. Just now he is receiving
a great many compliments on the
state of his crops.
The Meriwether Vindicator, the gov
ernor's home paper, in a recent issue
says that two prominent citizens of
Gainesville and good judges of cotton
pionounce the governor's crop of cot
ton to be the very best in all tint
neighborhood. No one around there
has such cotton as is to he found iti
the fields on the governor's f.»rm.
The governor fanes a great deal ol
interest in farming, not only on his
cwn land, but throughout the s-ta’e
generally, end nothing pleases bin
more than a report of good crops in
any part of Georgia, but the governor
being human, is naturally just a litGe
tickled over the fact that he has grow s
Letter cotton than his neighbors.
