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.

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.

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. * * * State Fair a Great Success.

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 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- Ladies’ Tailor Made Suits, Skirts, Waists, Furnishings, Wraps, Etc.
