Dairymen Klect OIRrtn.
The Georgia Dairymen's association
completed its business by the election
of annual officers as follows:
President. H. J. Redding, Experi
ment, Ga.; vice president, 8. T. Me
Elroy, Norcross, Ga.; secretary, M. L.
Duggan, Sparta, Ga.; treasurer, H. L.
Wing, Experiment, Gu.
By all it is conceded that the Grant
ville convention was the most impor
tant and interesting ever held by the
association dnring its six years of ex
istence, nnd the members left for their
homes more firmly convinced then
ever that the assooiation is ■ absolutely
necessary to the welfare of the dairy
men of the state.
The association is now a fixed insti
tution in Georgia, promising as much
towards building up her material in
terests as any of the older institutions
of its kind.
M.fon', Carnival a Surec*,
The third annual carnival in Macon
was a great success from every stand
point. In the matter of crowds, no

than were looked for. Financially,
the affair will come out all right.
President Tom W. Loyless has exerted
every effort to make the big show a
successful one and has given much
time to the work. He was on the
plaza at every performance and per
sonally directed the proceedings. Mr.
Henry Horne and other members of
the executive committee Lave also
greatly helped out, Mr. G.C. Matthews,
who had been at work on the carnival
since early in the spring, has done’ex
cellent work, and it is greatly due to
his efforts that everything turned out
satisfactorily.
Georgia Bailed.
The Augusta Herald remarks: Hog,
hominy and hay used to be the cry,
but wo have within a year added bis
cuit made of home grown wheat to the
menu. Lot us tack first-class Georgia

This is a great country if we would
realize it.

Justices Must A1J State.
The annual report of Comptroller
General W. A. Wright, which is now
iu course of preparation, to be sub
mitted to the legislature, will contain
this year two recommendations of the
highest importance.
The main body of the report will be
devoted, as usual, to the subject of
taxes, aud au iuterestiug comparison
will be brought out, showing the ag
gregate returns ou different classes of
property for the year as compared
with last.
Aside from the subjects contained in
the new measure, Comptroller Wright
lias decided to make two recommenda
tions which he believes will greatly
facilitate the tax collector in his work.
The first of these recommendations is
that the law authorizing compensa
tion to justices of the peace for fur
nishing the names of defaulters iu
each militia district to the tax collec
tor. The recommendation will also
subject at present is regarded as worth
less, since it authorizes neither of the
above things.
The second recommendation of the
comptroller general’s report is that a
limit be placed by law on the time
allowed constables nnd other levying
officers for levying executions.
racking Up.
The officers of the department of
the gulf at Atlanta, are busy packing
up all the books and papers of the de
partment preparatory to closing the

from Secretary of War Boot abolish
ing it and placing it and placing the
military post* now in thie department
in the department of the east.
Several of the officers and clerks
have already left the department, act
ing on telegraphic orders received.
The effort on the part of the citizens
of Atlanta to have the order abolish
ing the department revoked proved
unavailing.
MfElniurray Plead* Self Dcfeupe.

Goodale farm near Augusta, shot and
instantly killed his cousin, J. A. Mc
Elmurray and seriously wounded a
negro, who was near when the shot

RACE PROBLEM
WAS DISCUSSED
Oov. MacCorcle, Booker Washing
ton and W. H. Council Speak.
SOME VERY PLAIN DEDUCTIONS
The Speakers Held Different
Views But Were Liberally
Applauded.
At Huntsville, Ala., Thursday, the
two foremost negroes of the country
and a representative white man of the
south talked plainly and fearlessly on
the race problem to the delegates at
tending the Southern Industrial con
vention. Anticipating the discussion
of this subject, the Huntsville opera
house was crowded by delegates, their
friends and representative citizens
from the northern part of the state
when the morning session began.
The cause of the negro was upheld,
but on different lines, by Prof. Booker
T. Washington, president of the Tus
kegee Normal school, and William H.
Councill, principal of the Agricultural
and Mechanical college, at Normal,
Alabama.
The views of these two men are
well known. Professor Washington
believes the ignorant negro should not
be allowed to vote, but favors the
placiug of the same restriction upon
the illiterate white man. Professor
Councill wants the negro eliminated
from politics and his educatian as an
industrial factor promoted.
The speeches of these two negroes
were remarkable, and the cheering
from their white hearers was as brisk
as that sent out by men of the speak
ers’ color, who packed the galleries.
Governor MacCorkle was liberally ap
plauded by both whites and blacks.
His recommeudation that a strict edu
cational qualification be imposed upon
all negro voters was received with fa
vdr by both whites and negroes. The
concordance of views presented by the
speakers prevented any controversy the
and the quick adjournment of
convention at the conclusion of the
speeches shut off discussion if any
were intended.
Transvaal War Touched Upon.
The only departure from the subject
discussed by MacCorkle, Washington
and Councill was an address on agri
culture by Prof. C. W. Dabney, of
Knoxville, Tenn., president of the Uni
versity of Tennessee. As he conclud
ed. Prof. Dabney said:
“We hear today that the peaceful
farmers of the Transvaal are on the
verge of being forced from their do
mains. Whither are they going? They
are hemmed in on all sides by foreign
powers. I believe a great crime is
about to be perpetrated. But it is the
result of the march of progress. It is
inevitable. It is the law of nature and
the law of nature is the law of God.”
Great interest attached to Governor
MacCorkle’s speech, as he was expect
ed to make suggestions of a radical
nature regarding the settlement of the
negro problem. He was loudly cheer
ed as he arose. Mr. MacCorkle said
iu part: who desire
“To the practical men
the upbuilding of the south, the time
has come to speak plainly and hon
estly. The race question is no longer
a question of the south. It is a ques
tion of the whole country, and is af
fecting the whole body politic.
“In my judgment, the negro is not
ready to be left to himself. It is the
duty of the people who brought him
here to stand by him and to help him
during tho evolution of the great
problem. colonize these
“If you do not peo
ple, how will you save the country
from tho natural increase? Will they
not overwhelm and become the domi
nant race, thus displacing the Anglo
S axon civilization. This argument is
often heard and often believed. Many
people are of the opinion that the ne
gro from more natural increase will
become the dominant race factor in
the south.
“I do not believe that this danger
threatens us. Since the events of the
last year, I am more impressed by the
suggestion that in addition to Cuba
and Porto Rico, we should have under
our cont;ol Hayti and San Domingo.
The educated black of this country
will then naturally turn to these is
lands, where his labor in every sphere
is at a premium, and where he can
live better and easier and be more effi
cient than in any other part of the
world, excepting Africa.
Boers Possess Thirty Maxims.
Hiram S. Maxim, iu the course of
an interview at London, said: “So
far as I am aware the Boers possess
thirty Maxims, but the British need
not fear the Boer artillery, which has
always proved a source of weakness
rather than strength to the burghers.”
JONES IN ST. LOUIS.
Chairixian of National Democratic Com
mittee Takes Charge of Affairs.
Chairman Jones, of the national
Democratic committee, arrived in St.
Louis Sunday evening from New York
and went to the Planters’ hotel, where
he will confer later with Yice Chairman
Stone and other party leaders. He was
met by Urey Woodson, member of the
national committee from Kentucky,
and the t\Vo spent some time talking
over the situation in the Blue Grass
state.
