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. . sam is For prohibition only, Re ' - Sa ™ m . smalt, who is prepar . interests of prohibition, and who la already arranging engagements in many Georgia counties, wishes it clearly understood that his proposed campa * 8 '" wlU be purely m the iIlter ' dnaduai clniilSalf' u waTieported at the time that Mr. Smairs desire was announced, he would take the field in lnterests of Hcn - Dupont Guerry.

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. Commissioner Stevens asks that a I PUBLIC.

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.” MORE STRIKERS GIVE UP. Half of Employes of Bay View Mill Return to Work.
