Crifcb Seeks Commutation.
An effort is being made to have the
sentence of Lee Cribb, condemned to
hang in Coffee county cn November
10, commuted to life imprisonment.
Friends of the condemned man in a
letter to the prison commission have
asked this commutation, alleging that
Cri’ob i 3 not in his right mind. A pe
•tition for a respite was also addressed
to Governor Terrell.
Cribb was tried and sentenced some
time ago for the murder of Emmett
White, a hoy. In Nichols, Coffc-e coun
ty. It is said that' the killing was in
cold blood an 1 that at the time it
happened Cribb was manning amuck
and trying to “clean out the town,''
having already shot a man who at
tempted to stop him. At present
Cribb is in jail in Savannah for*safe
keeping.

No Decision as to Lumber Pstfes.
The interstate commerce commis
sion adjourned it’ session m Atlanta
Saturday afternoon, af*er six days of
considering the. case brought by the
senth Georgia lumbar men against the
railroads.
No decision was reached, as the
matter was not concluded. The court
directed the attorneys to prepare
briefs and argue the case before them
In Washington some time in Decem
ber. immediately after the Mississippi
lumber case has been hoard. This
will probably be about December 8
cr 9.
The case which has engaged the at
tention of the commission for the past
week is ono of the most important
ever considered by them, involving
millions of dollars to the shippers aud
the roads, and there will be a thor
ough consideration cf the points made
in the testimony before any decision
is rendered. Much written and print
ed evidence is yet to be gone into by
the court before the arguments of at
torneys are hard. The c ral testimony
alone fills 1,100 pages of typewritten
manuscript, and this is only a part
of what will be considered by the
court.

Maf/ Sue State cf Tennessee.
Thera may grow out of the devasta
tion of Georgia forest trees by the
fumes from the copper ore furnaces
at Ducktown, Tenn., one of the most
interesting and unique legal contests
in the records of the United States
court.
The reports of Wiimon Newell, state
entomologist, and of the commission
appointed under a resolutuion of the
legislature to investigate the matter
have both b»en filed with Governor
Terrell, under whcea instructions the
investigation was carried out, and
both report-s state that the havoc be
ing wrought by the acid-laden smoke
fe-om these ore furnaces is alarming m
the extreme and is ruining thousands
of dollars worth o i property.
The timber damaged is in Farmm,
Union, Towns, Murray and Gilmer
counties, and the two sources of the
damage are at Ducktown and Isabella,
Tenn. The first step looking to some
adjustment of the matter will be taken
within the next few days by Governor
Terrell, who will send a protest to the
governor of Tennessee ami the min
ing and smelting companies owning
the ore ovens, with the request that
something be done to abate the nui
sance.

An Address to the People of Georgia
by J. S. Stewart of State University.
A few weeks ago at a meeting of
prominent citizens a committee con
sisting of Chancellor W. B. Hill of the
State University as chairman, was ap
pointed to prepare a statement re
lating to educational needs ol’thestar.e.
We quote below the main features of
this statement, believing it to be of
general interest to cur people.
“It is self-evident that in a democ
racy the intelligence of the people is
a necessary condition of good govern
ment. For this reason the state un
dertakes as a means of self-pro .'-ac
tion the work of public education.
Our forefathers accepted and acted
on these principles, that the “pros
perity and even existence of the state”
can be secured only by “religion and
education.”
It is not more certain that in pa3t
ages Force was dominant than that
in these times Intelligence rules. In
the competition among nations, cr in
dividuals, the most intelligent will
have the mastery. For these rea
sons the intelligence and conscience
of the state will be satisfied with noth
ing less than a perfected system of
public schools, where all the children
of the state, regardless oi conditions i
in life or circumstances cf fortune,
may have an opportunity for the de-|
vetopment and the training of the ca-l
pacifies with which their Creator hasl
endowed them. j
The resource for the betterment ofl
our school system is in local taxatlori
supplementing the general state fundi
but the constitution of 1877 abridged
and virtually denies to ail the
the right of local taxation. Under the
existing law the recommendations cf
two grand juries must be obtained,
and in the election if is necessary to
the success of the local measure *o
secure two-thirds of the qualified vot-
