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; Brunswick, sl4; , Barnesville, $10; Tnomaston, $7.50; Thomasville, $9.50; -Newnan, $10; Bainbridge, $8; Cedar fuwnfi $12.50; Cuthbert. $12.50; Val dosta, $9.50; Milledgeville, $11;’ Daw son, $7.50; Dalton, $10; Fitzgerald, $10; Forsyth, $10; Marietta, $6.80; Monroe $3.50; Rome, $7.50; Waynes boro, $5.50; Waycross, $10; West Point, SB. 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.
