Brief Summary of Doings
Throughout the State.
Cook Reserves His Decision.
Secretary of State Cook has made
no decision in the contest over a coun
ty line between Baker and Early coun
ties, which was heard before him a
few days ago. He has reserved the
decision and will announce it when he
has carefully gone over the testimony
submitted. There has been a dispute
between the two counties for several
years concerning the line between
them.

Fertilizer Tags Go Begging.
The sale of tertllizer tags this year
is unusually slow, and, according to
official's at the state department of ag
riculture, the demand for them nas not
been very large from the manufactur
ers of ertilizers.
From what the manufacturers tell
the state officials, there is going to be
a very small demand for guano next
year by the farmers, and for that rea
son the ags are not selling rapidly.
The department has over six million
tags on hand for sale.

Will Meet at Warm Springs.
It will be of great interest to the
teachers of Georgia, and to the friends
of education generally, to learn that
the executive committee have select
ed Warm Springs as the place to hold
the next annual meeting of the Geor
gia Educational Association, from
June 22 to 24, 1904.
One of the best meetings of the asso
ciation was held at Warm Springs a
few years ago, and the coming meeting
bids fair to be tic TTest in its history.

The board of directors of tne Tifton.
Thcmasville and Gulf railroad met in
Thomasville the past week and the
consolidation of that road with the At
lantic and Bjpningham railroad was
unanimouslu^mthorized.
At a mee:r:g previously held the T:f
ton and Northeastern and Atlantic and
Birmingham directors had voted for
merger.
Immediately after the vote at the
Thomasville meeting a contract was
executed. The new system will be
known as the Atlantic and Birming
ham railway. It will control 220 miles
from Waycross to Montezuma and
from Thomasville and Fitzgerald.
Five hundred thousand dollars’ worth
of rolling stock has already been or
dered for the new road.
Officers say the extension from
Montezuma to Birmingham will be
constructed immediately. Also direct
connection with Atlanta and an exten
sion from Waycross to the coast in the
near future.

Value of Georgia Property.
The total value of all the property
on the digests of Georgia, as figured
out by Capt.lin “Tip” Harrison, of the
comptroller general’s office show that
the total value of all property on the
digests from all the counties this year
is $432,993,873, as against $410,417,180
for 1902, showing an increase of $22,-
576,093 for 1903. These returns do
not include the value of railroads and
corporation property, which are made
to the comptroller general direct. The
total corporation returns for this year
are $73,144,481, as against $5'6,893,466
for 1902. The increase for lao3, as is
well known, is due principally to the
franchise tax returns, made this year
for the first time, leing $13,799,319.
Among the interesting figures on
Captain Harrison’s consolidated di
gests may be takei the polls which
show a decrease this year over 1902
of about 5,600. Tne polls for 1902 were
352,542 .while those for 1903 are 246,-
898. There lias been an increase of
nearly 1,000 professional men. In
1902 the returns showed 49,410 profes
sional men in Georgia who paid their
special tax, while this year the num
ber is 50,240. Manufactures show a
gratifying increase, the returns for
1902 being $23,494,371, while in 1903
they are $26,110,419. City property
also shows a healthy increase this
year, being from $122,672,195 in 1902 to
$129,093,548 in 1903.

Agriculture in the Common Schools..
One of the most important of the
acts of the recent legislature was a
law requiring the elements of agricul
ture to be taught in every common
school in the state. With S 5 per cent,
of our people living on the farm, it is
strange that we have neglected so long
teaching the child the fundamental
principles of farming, when these prin
ciples are just as easily taught and are
of as much value as the truths of
geography or grammar. Our law
makers, backecl by the leaders in edu
cation, knew that we could not longer
•delay to give our children the benefit
of what the race has learned relat
ing to the soil, the nature of plant
growth, the diseases that attack the
crops, the care of animals, the hand
ling of farm products, diversified farm
ing and all else that will enrich the
farm and make happier the farmer’s
home. They hold that special training
is as essential for a boy who expects
to farm as for boys who turn to law,
engineering or medicine, and the place
to begin this training is in the com
mon schools when tastes are acquired
and habits formed.
The book commission has selected
a suitable text-book to be used for the
next five years, beginning January,
1904. Now it becomes the duty of
school officials, patrons and teachers to
see that this subject is taught prop
erly in every school for white and col
ored children. Let us not make a
makeshift of this important subject,
but all see that It is taught as con
sciously as reading or any other study.
In order that this may be done our
teachers must study the subject. I
doubt if five per cent of our teachers
have ever studied agriculture. It will
therefore be necessary for them to
take a short course in agriculture at

demand the University has arranged
its three months’ winter cours eduring
the months of January, February and
March, and a summer course during
July and August at the great summer
school of the University. School offi
cials should insist upon their teachers
taking one of these courses. Agricul
ture should be an important topic in
the annual institutes. The progress

Trustees of North Carolina College Called
Upon to Settle a Dissension.
The trustees of Trinity college, at
Raleigh, N C., having voted eighteen
to seven to refuse to accept the resig
nation. of Professor Bassette, have
given to the public a statement of
their position in tne matter. The gist
of their reasons are set forth in the
following declarations:
“Any formal coercion of thought and
private judgment is contrary to con
stitutional aims of Trinity College,
which is to cherish a sincere spirit of
tolerance. We are particularly unwill
ing to lend ourselves to any tendency
to destroy or limit academic liberty.”
After the announcement of the de
cision of the trustees, a large number
of students gathered on the college
campus and hanged in effigy Editor Jo
sephus Daniels, whose paper, The
News and Observer, had led the fight
against the doctrines promulgated b;’
Professor Bassette.
Trinity college is conducted under
the auspices of the Methodist Episco
pal church, south. Some time ago Pro
fessor Bassette wrote an article for
The South Atlantic Quarterly on the
negro. In this article Professor Bas
sette was very laudatory of Eooker
Washington. Among other things he
said that, with the single exception of
Robert E. Lee. Booker Washington s
the greatest man born in the south :a
a hundred years. Professor Bassette
was bitterly criticised and tendered his
resignation, but the tender was refus
ed by the trustees on the grounds
stated above.
