Investigating Cotton Disease.
The United States department of
agriculture now has a special man in
the south looking into cotton diseases,
This representative of the department,
B. N. Duggar, is making a special
study of the disease, anthracnose,
which has recently made its appear
ance to so great an extent in the
Georgia cotton Helds.
In reply to the letter sent by Com
mlssloner of Agriculture O. B. Stevens
asking the department to send an ex
Port to Georgia to take tne matter up,
a letter was received at the stae de
parment of agriculture showing that
he matter has already been given some
attention.
Very Nearly a Southern Man.
President Theodore Roosevelt prob
ably comes nearer to being a southern
man than any chief executive the na
tion has had since the civil war. Cer
tainly he comes nearer to being a
Georgia man than any of his prede
cessors in office since the war. Presi
dent Roosevelt is a direct descendant
of Governor Archibald Bulloch, the
first state governor that Georgia had.
This does not include the colonial gov
ernors. The mother of President
Roosevelt, Martha Bulloch, was born
in Liberty county, and at Roswell, Ga.,
in the mansion of her father at that
place, she married Theodore Roose
velt, of New York, the father of the
new president of the United States.
Engineers Draw Color Line.
Atlanta lodge, No. 1, Stationary En
gineers, at a called meeting surren
dered its charter in the national asso
ciation and disbanded because a negro
delegate was elected and seated at the
recent convention of the national asso
ciation at Rochester, N. Y. The At
lanta engineers declare that they draw
the line at color, and that they will be
long to no association that admits ne
groes to its membership.
Shortly after the disbandment of
the old association, the engineers
formed a new local organization, and
steps will be taken to organize
southern organization, separate and
apart from the national association
Resolutions were adopted notifying ev
ery association of stationary engineers
in the south of the withdrawal of the
Atlanta lodge and requesting them to
co-operate in the formation of the pro
posed new association.
Official Reports Being Delayed.
Governor Candler makes the state
ment that he will likely have to pre
pare his message to the next session
of the general assembly without the
use of the annual reports of the state
house officers.
Governor Candler says that he has
not yet received any of the reports of
the officers, and since the fiscal year
of the state’s buiness does not close
until October 1, only 23 days are left
the officers to make their reports,
which does not give them sufficient
time to do so and place them in the
hands of the governor soon enough
for his use in preparing his message.
Governor Candler said his message
this year would not be a long one, but
would comprise all the matters to
which he considers the attention of
general assembly should be called. The
finances of the state will probably re
ceive much attention.

Georgia Pays Tribute.
The state of Georgia fittingly and
appropriately paid tribute to the na
tion’s deceased ruler. Governor Can
dler promptly issued an order direct
ing that all the offices of the capitol
be closed for the day Saturday.
Before noonday the state house was
as quiet as it is on Sundays. On the
doors of many of the offices appeared
notices stating that they had been
closed on account of the death of
President McKinley, in accordance
with executive order. As a result,
there was practically no business done
during the day.
In addition to the foregoing, Cover
nor Candler directed in his order that
both the national and the state flags
be displayed from the capitol and oth
er public buildings at half mast, as a
token of the universal bereavement
felt in the loss of the president.
Deep sorrow was expressed by the
officials at the capitol at the unfortun
ate and untimely death of the presi
dent. All of them expressed themselves
on the subject at the time he was ruth
lessly shot down by the anarchist. But
on announcement of tne president’s
death they repeated and said even
more than what they had said before,
in spite of the fact that it was feared
his death was felt as a distinct shock
and expressions of heartfelt sorrow
and deep sympathy were heard on all
sides.
"To what I have already said of
President McKinley,” said Governor
Candler, "I can only add that his death
came as a great shock to me. I had
hoped that the buiiet of the assassin
would not prove fatal; that by Gods
help he would be restored to his peo
ple and to his country. He was a good
and a great man and his death Is a de
plorable loss to his country.”

Predicts Roosevelt’s Death.
Mrs. R. P. Ward, Augusta’s clairvoy
ant. who predicted last June that the
president would be killed and who
when he was shot, stated that he
Would never recover, was seen by a re
porter during the president's illness,
and appeared much agitated over the
report that he was convalescing. In
fact she was so wrought up that for
twentyd'our hours she neither slept
nor ate.
Mrs. Ward predicted that the end
would come on the 13th, as the presi
dent was shot thirteen minutes after
four. When the news reached Augus
ta that he was dead she seemed much
relieved.
She now says that Roosevelt will fol
the same as President McKinley’s.
“Vice President Roosevelt will go
Into office,” says Mrs. Ward, “and
soon after he will be assassinated in
the same manner In which the late
president was.
‘‘I do not think that the assailant
was an anarchist, but that he was
prompted to do the rash act by a mis
taken religious fervor.
“I was positive all the time that
the end would come from the wound,
but could not state the exact date, ex
cept that he would die on the 13th.”

Appeal For State Exhibit at Charleston
South Carolina, Exposition.
To the People of Georgia:
Our sister state, South Carolina,
will hold a large industrial exposition
at her principal city, Charleston, be
ginning December 1, 1901, and ending
May 31, 1 j 02. She has invited other
states to unite with her in giving a
grand exposition of the south’s re
sources, making this a great oppor
tunity for our southern country to dis
play its wonderful natural wealth. In
order to bring the rich lands lying
southeast of us into closer trade rela
tionship with us, he has extended a
cordial invitation to the West Indies
to join her in this great work, and
her exposition has been named “The
South Carolina, Inter-State and West
Indies Exposition.”
Congress has appropriated large
sums of money for the benefit of other
expositions north, south and west;
and, at its last session, it appropriated
the enormous sum of $5,000,000 for the
exposition to ue held in St. Louis in
1903, at the same time refusing South
Carolina the modest sum of $ 200 , 000 .
Under such circumstances, can
gia refuse to make a display of her
resources?
Many northern and western states
have made large appropriations that
they may be creditably represented at
this South Carolina exposition, and
large amounts for this purpose have
been raised in those sections by pri
vate subscription.
At its last session, the legislature of
this state expressed its interest in
having Georgia represented at the
Buffalo and Charleston expositions by
creating a commission for this purpose
and appropriating the sum of $ 1 , 000 ,
with the idea that enough money
would be raised by private subscrip
tion to display the state’s material re
sources in a manner befitting the great
Empire State of the South. But no
funds were raised by private subscrip
tion, and" the commission undertook
to make a creditable display of the
mineral resources of Georgia at the
Pan-American exposition, by removing
and installing at the exposition a part
of the collection in the state museum,
which had been collected by the Geo
logical Survey. By the patriotism of
a private citizen, Mr. John A. Manget,
the commission was able to display
the production of a 25-acre Georgia
farm, number 174 products. Because
° f _ , Iack of funds ’ and the inability of
the commission . to provide general
a
agricultural and horticultural exhibit
between December, 1900, when the leg
islature made the appropriation, and
Ma, 1901, when the exposition opened,
no better agricultural display was pos
sible. To remove and install these ex
hibits cost in the neighborhood of
$800, the closest economy being used.
It is apparent that Georgia cannot
be represented at the South Carolina
exposition, unless the patriotic citizens
of Georgia will come forward and con
tribute something to this end. Any
amount will be appreciated and prop
erl y accounted for by the governor.
There ought to be one hundred men in
Georgia who would be willing to con
tr ibute $ 10.00 apiece for so good a
cause. An appeal for $1,000 made two
months ago, was responded to by
three generous citizens, who agreed to
£ ive $ 10 - 00 apiece. There were no
other responses. Must this appeal to
the patriotism and generosity of Geor
gians share a similar rate? We ap
peal to you, Georgians, to help your
commission so to represent our state.
great in all natural resouces, that you
wil1 not be ashamed of her exhibit,
and that Georgia will not have to hang
her head in shame in the presence of
an y sister state.
