J 0 Brief Summary Doings Throughout the State. Question is Yea or Nay. To take or not to take a Carnegie library is now the question of the hour in Columbus. Mr. Carnegie has offered the city library, ar.d while indica tions rather point to the acceptance of the gif sentiment on the point is by no means unanimous. Labor unions of the city are oppasing the project. • * * Sanford to Assist Merritt. S. V. Sanford, of Marietta, has been appointed by W. B. Merritt, nominee fo r state school commissioner, as his assistant. He will, after January 1, 1503, perform the duties of clerk in the department of education.

A heavy rain, fell at Lithonia Satur day, accompanied by lightning and thunder. At Collinsville, a suburb, the family of G. W. Guinn, a farmer, were just finishing their dinner when Mrs. Guinn stepped to the back veranda for a drink of water. A stroke of lightning killed her instantly, leaving not a mark upon her person. A gixteen year-old daughter, who was standing near the open door, was felled by the same stroke, and is fatal:/ injured. * * * Dates cj Colored Conferences. Bishop H. M.

Hill Receives Congratulations. 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. * * Governor Candler in Washington. Governor’Candler has been taking in the sights at the National Capital. The 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. * * * Spencer Donates to Tech. President Hyman Hall, of the Geor 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 vided the remaining $9,000 necessary to'secure'the SIO,OOO donation from the g 1 education board could be se Curfd. With Mr. Spencer's subscription ol SI,OOO the Tech now has only a little over $:?SJO0 to raise in order to secure the. SIO,OOO <l>om the general educa tiori board and thus equip the electri eat and experimental laboratories in i style which will compare favorably with many •of’f.he college laboratories in the country. President. Hall is particularly anx lags the remainder of the money scqif as possible in order to begir on the'laboratories before it is late to have them ready for the fai t ?:m, ** • * ’ 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. ATLANTA MARKETS. COBBECTED WEEKLS. —24 Groceries. ttoasted eolTee, t>er 10J pounds.
