Hon. Hiram Warner Hill, who was
the active campaign manager for Hon.
Joseph M. Terrell in his successful
campaign for governor, which has just
closed, has received a flood of congrat
ulations, many of them by wire, from
different parts of the state, congratu
lating him upon the admirable manner
in which he handled Mr. Terrell’s race,
and in not a few of them has come
the suggestion that he should become
the next chairman of the state demo
cratic executive committee.

Reunion of Seventh Georgia.
The Seventh Georgia Confederate
veterans, familiarly known during the
war as the "Bloody Seventh,” has ar
ranged plans for its reunion in Vir
ginia, to take place about the middle
of July. This regiment was, at the be
ginning of the war, a regiment of knee,
pants boys. None of the men were
over 21, not even the colon* !, but they
proved themselves worthy foes on
more than one hard-fought field.
The regiment will visit a great many
bettle fields upon which they once
faced shot and shell. The itinerary
will include Manassas, Alexandria,
Fredericksburg, Richmond, Petersburg
and Washington.

following dispatch tells of his risit:
Washington, June 7.—Governor Can
dler arrived iti the city this morning
and is a guest at the Metropolitan ho
tel, where he made his residence dur
ing the eight years of his service in
congress. The governor has come to
Washington on persona! business to
get a little rest. One of his sons re
cently graduated in law here and he
has many friends in Washington who
will help him have a pleasant time dur
ing his stay. He lunched with Sena
tor Clay at the capitol and was warmly
welcomed by all the members of the
Georgia delegation. Incidentally he
was ca’led upon to tell all about the
election, which he did. with not a lit
. t’e satisfaction to himself and to his
"hearers.

gia School of Technology, has received
a letter, from President Samuel Spen
cer, of the Southern road, informing
him of the fact that he would be glad
to contribute SI,OOO to the school, pro

’ The (Jfficial Vote For Governor.
Jbf official vote for governor ir
I the cotemng state convention on July J
has be’ea confirmed and stands as fol
lows: v
Joseph il. Terrell, 190; J. H. Estill
1 SG; Dupont Guerry, 68.
In the foregoing there is only one
| change from the figures first published
. Terrell secured th& vote of Greenf
| county, which was given to Estill,
I while Estill carried Taliaferro, whict
| appeared in the Terrell column. While
: this does not change the figures, twe
more votes are given to Guerry, be
| cause in the first report Forsyth was
| credited with only two votes, whereas
.it should have been given four.
in will be seen from the foregoing
| figures that Mr. Terrell has twenty
; more votes than enough to nominate
on the first ballot. Mr. Terrell carried
seventy-nine counties, Colonel Estill
thirty-five counties and Mr. Guerry
twenty-three.
One of the most remarkable races of
the campaign was made by Colonel O.
B. Stevens for re-election as commis
sioner. Colonel Stevens will have 340
votes in theconvention, as against 10
j for his opponent, Colonel R. T. Nesbitt.
Seldom in the history of the state has
j such a sweeping victory been recorded.
W. B. Merritt will go into the con
vention with at least 220 votes, as
against 130 for both his opponents
combined, while Hon. Thomas Eason
j will have even a larger vote for prison
I commissioner. The whole question has
| been settled now and there remains
| only the formality of an election in the
fall.
The state convention will meet in
Atlanta July 2, for the purpose of mak
ing the formal nominations. Owing to
the large majorities which the winning
candidates have, the nominations will
no doubt be made unanimous in every
particular.
The general election will occur on
the first Wednesday in October, at
which time the nominees will be voted
for.
Congressman Fleming, of the tenth
district, has conceded that T. William
Hardwick, of Washington, defeated
him for congress. The election of
Hardwick was a big surprise to the
people of Georgia, as for a while
things looked decidedly blue for him.
So far there have been no charges of
fraud at any of the election places in
the counties, though the Augusta Her
a'd says that money was freely scat
tered in Augusta.

Census Report on Georgia Farms.
The bulletin on the agricultural in
terests of Georgia, soon to be given out
by the director of the census at Wash
ton, contains some very interesting
facts about farms and farm properties
i in the state. Georgia has a total land
area of 58,590 square miles, or 37,747,-
200 acres, of which a fraction less than
70 per cent are included in farms,
j From the census returns it is shown
than the farms of Georgia June 1, 1900,
numbered 224,691, and were valued at
$183,370,120. Of this amount, $44,854,-
690, or 24.5 per cent, represents the
i value of buildings, and $135,515,430, or
75.5 per cent, the value of land and im
provements other than buildings. On
the same date the value of farm imple
ments and machinery ivas $9,804,010
and of live stock' $35,200,507. These
j values added to that of farms gives the
I total value of farm property. For
; Georgia this value in 1900 was $228,-
| 374.637.
It is shown that bnt 11 1-2 per cent
! of the colored farmers own the farms
which they operate and the value of
their holdings constitutes only about
one-thirtieth of the total value of farm
property of the state. The average
size of farms of negroes is 66 acres,
as compared with 147 acres of the
white farmers.
The Greene-Gaynor Case.
| "A special from Quebec says: The
Greene Gaynor case was again in court
Saturday. Mr. L. McMaster, for the
prosecution, began his argument in
I support of his motion to quash the
i writs of habeas corpus.
