Brief Summary of Doings
Throughout the State.
Republicans Meet March 23.

Prominent Contractor Arrested.
Contractor A. F. Picnett was arrest
ed a few days ago at Hawkinsville on
two warrants, sworn out by the Haw
kinsville Bank and Trust Company and
the Whitfield Hardware Company,
charging him with obtaining money un
der fe'lse pretenses. The warrants were
issued by Justice Pearce, who placed

Tax Dodgers Hard Hit.
A bomb was exploded in the camps
of tax dodgers of Sumter county when
the grand jury in the general present
ments announced that it had gone be
hind the tax returns and had increased
valuations of property more than one
million dollars.
The grand jury considered valuations
entirely too low, and appointed a spe
cial committee to canvass the returns
made of property. The result of this
investigation was the raising of values
to figures deemed equitable, the local
amount thus discovered exceeding one
million.
* * *
State’s Debt Reduced.
Georgia paid $260,000 last Friday to
ward paying of tho public debt, SIOO,OOO
was sent to New York to pay the prin
cipal, and $160,000 was sent to pay the
interest.
The state’s debt at present is $7,-
631,500. Friday it was SIOO,OOO less,
that amount being appropriated yearly
to retire the debt. At the present rate
it will take seventy-five years from
Friday to pay the debt of SIOO,OOO a
yqar, but the constitution may be
amended at some future time and more
money paid toward retiring it. The
interest, of course, decreases as the
principal does.

ly-appointed judge of the Coweta cir
cuit, died from angina pectoris at his

New Road and Town Projected.
Judge Tompkins, of St. Louis, has
been in Baxley for some time repre
senting, so it is said, a number of cap ;
italists who propose to build a rail- '
road from Reidsvile, in Tattnall conn- ;
ty, via Baxley to the Satilla creek, 15
miles south of Baxley. The principal
place of business is the Altamaha riv
er, ten miles to the north.
Alex Segler, who resides near the
river, says work will begin on the
bridge by January 15th.
This place is to be known as Port
Alexander, and a large town is to De
built there. It has been run out and
lots have been surveyed. Over 65,000
acres of land, including some valuable
farms, have been sold to the syndicate
represented by Judge Tompkins, who
is an ex-judge of the circuit court of
Missouri and who declares that the
lands of Appling county for agricultur
al and other purposes cannot be ex
celled. s
