Happenings In the State of Inter
esting Import,
I* K.tlnmt. Too Larcct
There it evidently n fear among
some growers of cotton throughout the
south that the estimate of the crop
made recently by the commissioners
of agriculture at the meetiug iu Atlan
ta is too large.
Commissioner O. B. Stevens, in
speaking of the estimate. made by the
commissioners, said that it had been
arrived at after a care/ni consolidation
of the estimated crop of each state.
The estimate as given out by the
commissioners was a crop between
9,000,000 aud 9,500,000 bales. The
majority of the commissioners held
that the crop would not exceed 9,250,
000 bales, while some maintained that
it would go higher, and some that it
would fall short of that estimate. It
was fiually agreed, under these cir
cumstances, to put the estimates at be
tween 9,000,000 and 9,500,000 bales.
“I am satisfied,” said Commissioner
Stevens, “that the commissioners
present at the convention gave an ac
curate and thoroughly disinterested
report of the shortage in tkeir states.
On account of the familiarity of the
commissioners with their crops, I con
sider, of course, that the estimate is
the best and safest that has yet been
made.
“From the states that were not rep
resented we received statements from
agricultural authorities that oonld not
be donbted, and from them we made
up the estimate. I know of no way to
better estimate a crop than to get the
opinion of each commissioner in the
cotton growing section, and this is
what was done at the convention.”
The estimate given out by the com
missioners is praotically the same as
the one made up by Colonel O. B. Ste
vens several weeks ago, after he had
ascertained definitely the nature and
extent of the loss to the crops of other
states. The action of the convention
was simply an indorsement of the care
ful estimate made some dime ago by
Commissioner Stevens.
Summer Instruction Assured.
The prayer of the teachers of Geor
gia that they be given an opportunity
to secure summer instruction at the
state university has been granted, so
far as it is possible for the trustees of
the university to grant it.
At the special session of the board
of trustees held in Atlanta the past
week a report of the faculty, with
plana and courses of instruction for
university summer sessions, was unan
imously adopted, and all that iameo
essary to make the summer sehool a
reality is a small appropriation by the
legislature.
Under the plan whioh has been
adopted, the first summer session will
be held next summer, beginning July
2d and ending August 25th, eight
weeks iu all.
Depot Plan* Accepted?
A brief personal telegram received
in Atlanta stated that plans for a new
union passenger station in Atlanta
were accepted at the New York con
ference held last Saturday.
While the information did not come
direct from any one who was at the
meeting, there is good reason to be
lieve it is correct. *
The conference was attended by
President Samuel Spencer, of the
Southern; President J. W, Thomas,
of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis; President M. H. Smith, of the
Louisville and Nashville; President
Harry Walters, of the Atlantic Coast
Line, and Vice President J. M. Egan,
of the Central.
W»« An Able Addro**.
The address of Dr. W. B. Stuhbs,
of Louisiana, before the general as
sembly of the state last Friday even
ing, was regarded by many present as
oue of the ablest talks on agricultural
lines ever delivered in Georgia. Dr.
Stubbs occupies the position of state
chemist of Louisiana, and in addition
is also the head of the experimental
stations of that state. As an agricul
tural authority he is regarded as the
foremost in the south and wherever he
speaks his words always attract gen
eral attention.
At the close of Dr. Stubbs’ address
a resolution was unanimously passed
by the assembly requesting the pupers
of Georgia to give the address to the
public in full, aud particularly for the
benefit of the farmers of the state, to
whom it was directed.
H« Talked of the Tech.
Aaron French, the prominent Pitts
burg manufacturer who has dona so
much for the Georgia Technological
school and who takes so deep an in
terest in its welfare, was in Atlanta
the past week. He was acoompanied
by D. C. Noble, secretary aud treasu
rer of the A. French Spring Company,
one of the enterprises with which Mr.
French is identified.
In Jnly, 1897, when Mr. French
and President Lyman Hall, of the
Georgia School of Technology, became
acquainted with each other at the
former’s resort, Skyuka, North Caro
lina, their friendship soon ripened ode
under the glowing influence of
subject, technical education.
The following year when Mr.French
learned from President Hall of the
conditions imposed by the Georgia
legislature that 810,000 must be raised
by the school before the state appro
priation should become available, he
began a series of donations, which
have amounted to nearly $13,000.
Besides establishing a scholarship for
a worthy Georgia boy, Edward Klein,
of Atlanta, who won cn his merits,
Mr. French pays the expenses of a
student from Pennsylvania and will
send another student from Ohio next
year. Mr. Freueh paid
While in Atlanta
several visits to the school. President
Hall introduced him to the students,
who gave him an ovation. The stu
dents were introduced to Mr. Freueh
as Georgia’s 400.
During his visit Mr. French also
saw several members of the legislature
and with all of them his one theme
was the Technological school. When
asked what he thought of the school
he said, among many other things:
“The new branch of textiles at the
school means a great deal to the south
if it is properly supported."
A County Site Conte.t.
The fight over the ratification of
Rochelle as the county site of Wilcox
comes up in the legislature. Judge
Thomas L. Holton, of the connty
court of Wilcox, is in the Gate City at
the head of a delegation in favor of
Abbeville, while Colonel D. B. Nich
olson heads a similar delegation from
Rpchelle.
The delegations from both towns
have gone to tho legislature armed
with, formidable petitions on one or
the other of which the name of nearly
every freeholder in the county appears.
The petitions of both towns have been
printed and copies placed on tho desks
of members.
The bill to change the site from
Abbeville to Rochelle was introduced
at the last session, but the friends of
the measure failed to bring it up be
fore adjournment. During the recess
the members of the Abbeville faction
went earnestly to work, and they
promise that Rochelle will get the site
only after a hard fight.
Amerlcui Citizens Being Vaccinated.
, The uneasiness occasioned by the
recent appearance in Americus of a
mild case of varioloid has subsided, as
the case was at once isolated. Inas
much, however, as varioloid existB in
a neighboring county, vaccination has
been very general in town, and all of
the 1,600 pupils attending the public
schools of the city, as well as the half
hundred teachers, will be required to
be vaccinated.
BRUMBY WELCOMED HOME.
Dewey’* Flag Lieutenant Visits
His Aged Mother-Ovations
Accorded Him On His Trip.
Amid the booming of cannon and
the cheers of an eathusiastia multitude
late Tuesday afternoon Tom Brumby
arrived In Atlanta on bis way to Ma
rietta, Ga., where he was first to visit
his old mother.
It was a genuine Georgia welcome
for Georgia’s gallant son, and it was
more impressive than any ovation At
lanta bad ever before witnesaed.
The plan to place the lieutenant
quietly on the special train and take
him down to Marietta as soon as he
arrived in Atlanta could not be carried
out, because the people insisted on
seeing him and letting him know
without more delay how much they
thought of him. So great was the
ovation that it was trying upon the
officer. He could stand before the
Spanish guns unflinchingly, but the
admiration: of his fellow citizens al
most frightened him.
The enthusiastic admirers of Brum
by followed him to the special train,
and so great were the calls for him
that his friends persuaded him to
stand on the rear platform, where he
might be seon. He was soon weary,
however, and took a seat inside,where
he remained until the train started to
pnll out. Then he was again com
pelled to bow his acknowledgements
to the great throng.
At Marietta Brumby received a great
welcome. With the cheers of his ad
mirers still resounding in the air, amid
the discharge of fireworks, the lieu
tenant hurried to the home of hia sis
ter, Mrs. W. I. Heyward, where the
greater joy of meeting hie aged moth
er, Mrs. A. Brumby, was iu store for
him.
Mrs. Brumby . nearly eighty .
is year*
old and recently she had been quite
ill, bnt the home-coming of her boy,
of whom she is justly proud* has
served to make her well again.
The meeting of ths mother and son
was an affeoting seene. Mrs. Brumby
was too deeply moved for words and
her feelings could only be expressed
iu a fond embraco.
Lieutenant Brumby spent Wednes
day quietly in Marietta, resting from
the fatigue and excitement of tho trip
from Washington.
He returned to Atlanta at 7;30
Wednesday night to attend the Capital
City Club reception, with which the cel
ebration in his honor formally began.

THE FARMERS
Agricultural Commissioners Adopt
Important Resolution.
WILL URGE STANDARD WEIGHTS
And Proper Classification of the
South’s Fleecy Staple.
Meeting Adjourns.
The association of commissioners of
agriculture of the cotton states com
pleted its work in Atlanta, Ga., Fri
day and the convention adjourned to
meet on January 10th in New Orleans.
The final session war. one of the
•most important of the three days’ con
venvion, and the full report of the
committee on resolutions was read and
adopted.
The convention declared to put forth
its most earnest efforts to secure stand
ard weights and proper classification
of cotton in the stateB represented in
the membership of the convention.
A resolution was adopted restricting
the membership of the convention to
the following states and territories:
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Texas,
Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi,Flor
ida, North and South Carolina, Vir
ginia and West Virginia, Tennessee,
Kentucky, California, territories of
Oklahoma, the Indian Nation, New
Mexico and Arizona.
The convention unanimously decid
ed to go to work to get agriculture
taught iu the graded schools of the
states which are members of the asso
ciation.
A cordial invitation was extended
capitalists and manufacturers to come
to the sonth and invest their money.
Manual training was most cordially
indorsed and the aid and co-operation
of the convention was promised.
Farmers’ institutes were warmly ap
proved, and resolutions endorsing
them were passed unanimously by the
convention.
A resolution thanking the governor
and the general assembly, the mayor
of Atlanta, the commissioner of educa
tion and the assistant commissioner,
the secretary of the convention and
his assistant and to the city press and
the people of Atlanta for kirdness and
courtesies extended the members of
the convention.
The action of the eonvention in de
daring for standard weights and classi
fication is regarded as the most impor
tant thing that has been undertaken
by the commissioners at this time, for
this strikes at the greatest foe to the
export buyers and the producers them
selves and gives promise of remedying
an evil that has been pronouncedly
militating against the cotton business
since it was first begun in the earliest
days of the south and agriculture.
Jnst how this standard weight aud
classification is to be brought about
has not been stated, nor have any of
the details connected with the pro
posed revolution and regeneration
been outlined, but the mere fact that
a movement has been begnn along
this line is significant in meaning that
for the first time an effort, bold as it
may appear, has been made to fight
down the annual reclamations that
come across the water to rob the mer
chant and the farmer alike of whatever
profit has been made dnririg the buay
season.
By President Stevens, the following
resolution was read and adopted, look
ing toward securing standard weights
and classification of cotton:
“Whereas, The annual loss accruing
each year in the handling of the cotton
crop, growing out of the loss of weights
and failure of the bale to come up t®
the sample classification, which is duo
to the faot that there is no standard sys
tem of weights and classification, and
“Whereas, these reclamations de
s t, ro y the profits of the business to the
merchant and is indirectly taken from
the -pockets of the producer,
“Be jt re solved by this convention,
That we use onr earnest and energetic
efforts to bring ab ont the proper staad
ar( j we ights and classification of the
8t aple. urging such legislation as to
bring about the desired result., and
“Be it resolved further, That we in
vite the assistance and co-operation
of such exporters of cotton whe realize
the importance of the movement and
who are, from experience, iu position
to furnish substantial *id.”
The eonvention, without doubt, is
one of the most important, if indeed
not the most important, that has met
in the south in years, for it has for its
purpose the rendering of substantial
aid to the farmer, the fountain source
of all material success and prosperity.
