Large Warrant Drawn.
A few days ago the state treasury
received one of the largest warrants
that has been drawn upon it in some
time. The warrant was for $57,480,

Good For Terrell County.
For the first time in Its history Ter
rell county will levy no taxes this year.
The county board of commissioners
held its regular monthly session the
past week. When the question of flx
ing the tax rate came up, It was learn
ed that it would be unnecessary to
make a levy. There are several thou
sand dollars already in the treasury,
and it was decided that this, together
with the earnings from the dispensary,
would meet all the county’s expenses.
This speaks well for the ability of Ter
rell county’s efficient commissioners in
the management of the people’s af
fairs.

Plant Expert Wanted.
Owing to the continued complaints
which have reached the agriculture de
partment regarding the disease which
has attacked the cotton plant in many
portions of Georgia. Commissioner or
Agriculture Stevens has written a let
ter to the United States department of
agriculture in which he requests that
the department send an expert to Geor.
gia to investigate the disease and at
tempt some solution of the problem in
regard to its destruction.
Since the first complaints were filed
with the agricultural department re
garding the disease known as anthrac
nose there have been many others,
and the disease seems to be scattered
in such scattered sections that it is re
garded as necessary that something
should be done.

Georgia Crops Below Average.
Commissioner O. B. Stevens, of the
department of agriculture, has issued
the department statement of the crop
conditions in Georgia, the data being
compiled from repors of between 800
and 1,000 correspondents and coming
from every county In the state.
The reports, as consolidated, show
that practically all the Georgia crops
are considerably below the average,
especially cotton and corn, though the
Indications are they are doing better
In the northern part of the state than
anywhere else. The average condition
and prospect of all the big crops seem
to be higher in the northern part of
the state than anywhere else.
Answers to two Important questions
that were asked were so few and far
between that no proper averages show
ing the conditions throughout the state
could be given. These questions were
as to percentage of damage to cotton
from casualties and from the August
rains. That there has been consider
able damage from these sources there
is no possible doubt, for there was
much complaint of heavy rains during
the month, and now in addition to the
ordinary casualties much cotton is be
ing destroyed by the new disease, an
thracnose, which has appeared in
many of the counties of the state.
The figures sent to the department
were for what is called the August
crop report, and the majority of the
reports reached the office of the de
partment on September 3. The ques
tions all related to the condition and,
prospect ot the crops compared to an
average, and the consolidated returns
of percentages for the entire state are
as follows, the figures being compared
to an average: Per Cent.
Cotton ................ .....75.14
Corn.................. .....77.54
Rice .................. .....85.92
Sugar cane ........... .....86.26
Sweet potatoes........ .....91.08
Tobacco .............. .....87.32
Pea crop .............. .....88.53
Peanut crop........... .....90.53
Hay crop ............. ..... 88 . 02 j
Condition of stock hogs .....90.51
The average for the three sections,
northern, middle and southern, were
first taken and then consolidated, giv
ing the results stated above.

Double Tragedy in Marietta.
A most shocking tragedy that has
cast a gloom over Marietta occurred
there Saturday afternoon at 5:45
o’clock. Ben Copeland, a former em
ployee of the Brumby Chair Company,
shot and killed H. H. Kolkhoarst, su
perintendent of the factory, on the
streets of the town and then blew his
own brains out in the presence of wit
nesses.
Kolkhoarst and Copeland had some
trouble at the factory. Copeland was
discharged Saturday. He was consid
ered a dangerous man and made some
threats after he was discharged, tell
ing T. M. Brumby, Jr., that Mr. Kolk
hoarst would not be superintendent
much longer, and also teling Mr. Kolk
hoarst that he would get him. Brumby
warned Mr. Kolkhoarst to watch Cope
land, but no great importance was giv
en to his threats.
COMBINE ON STILL HUNT.
Mines in Tennessee and Kentucky May
11c Gobbled Cp by .Morgan Crowd.
According to a Knoxville, Tenn.,
dispatch a thoroughly reliable gentle
man, identified with coal and railroad
interests, has made the following state
ment respecting the probability of
east Tennessee coal mines being in
cluded in the proposed bituminous coal
combine, with J. Pierpont Morgan at
the head:
“I am aware that for three months
there have been negotiations carried
on in Tennessee and Kentucky involv
ing very large coal interests. I have
known, in a general way, that there
was a representative on the proposed
soft coal deal at Knoxville and my un
derstanding is that extensive proper
ties have been secured, whether by
option or purchase I am not able to
say, or how extensive the field is. I
understand, in a general way, that it
will be the largest industrial trust in
the south several times over.”
