Georgia.'.Cullings Brief Bat Interesting Summary of Happenings in the State. Race Meet For Savannah. A meeting of the directors of the Sa vannah Fair Association was held the past week, when it was determined to hold a fair and racing meet next fall. * * * New Court House Bonds Carry, Returns from the election for bond issue to build a new court house and jail at Jefferson show that the bonds have carried. * Fruit Growers to Meet Again. The Georgia Fruit Growers adjourn ed at Macon the past week to meet again there on the 14th, and they re quested the state board of entomology to meet with them at that time instead of holding its meeting on the 12th. Nut Growers to Organize. The nut growers of south Georgia have taken the preliminary steps to ward organizing an association for their mutual interests and protection. Commissioner of Agriculture O. B. Stevens received a letter a few days ago from J. F. Wilson, of Poulan, in Worth county, who is secretary of the association, announcing this fact, and asking for information relative to the Industry. • • Big Plant For Athens. It is officially announced in Athens that the Southern Cotton Oil Company have completed plans and obtained the site for the erection of one of the larg est oil mills and fertilizer plants in the state. The amount of money to be expended is $200,000. Their chief en gineer has been in the city for a week maturing and completing plans for the company. They already have a plant In Athens, but this will probably be torn down and made completely new. Bank Examiner Starts Out. State Bank Examiner W. B. Albert son has started on his annual exami nation tour of the banks of the state. He has over 135 institutions to look into, and he will be engaged nearly all the year. Mr. Albertson is experienced in banking affairs and is a very compe tent official. State Treasurer Park will, in about ten days, begin a tour of examination. He will assist Mr. Albertson as much as possible. * Johnston a Candidate. Mark Johnston, of Milledgeville, has made his formal announcement as can didate for state school commissioner. He says that he favors uniform books and a stoppage of the les% , such as the expenditure of $71,000 par year for school supplies and $10,000 per year for postage. Mr. Johnston says he will work in accord with the county school commissioners of the state, as he thinks that through them is the best way to make a successful administration. * Tech Needs More Money. Captaip Lyman Hall, president of the Georgia School of Technology, says the institution is in need of funds to complete the furnishing of the new buildings recently finished and to in stall some new machinery which has been donated by machinery manufac tureers. Owing to the large amount of money it took to finish the work on the build ings the funds of the school have run very low, and Captain Hall and several friends of the institution have been at work for some time on a scheme to get a few more donations. Blodgett For Atlanta Postmaster. Colonel Edwin F. Blodgett will be formally appointed postmaster of lanta by President Roosevelt. His pointment was definitely determined on a day or two ago, and the official papers will be forwarded to the . Advices received in Atlanta Saturday from Washington contained the news of the appointment. Colonel also received a telegram from Captain Evan P. Howell, who is in the al capital, informing him that both the president and postmaster general had agreed to his appointment, and that would be sent to the senate ately. To Exhibit In July. The exhibit of the Manufacturers’ Association of Atlanta will begin on July 9th. The length of time it will continue has not yet been decided. This was decided upon at a meeting of the general committee of the Manu facturers’ Fair Association which was held a day or two ago in the office of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. The committee on location was in structed to secure a place for holding the fair at once. The committee was instructed to rent the location for the month of July, with the privilege of obtaining the place for the following month at the same price. President J. K. Orr and Secretary Walter G. Cooper were instructed to issue circular letters- to the manufac turers of Atlanta, requesting informa tion regarding the amount of floor space that they will require for thcW exhibits. Petition of No Avail. Judge Henry overruled the petition of three taxpayers of Floyd countv to enjoin the three dispensary commis sioners from proceeding with the es tablishing the dispensary in Ro for the county. Judge Henry granted a perpetual injunction preventing the city and county from any liability con nected with the dispensary In the way of debts. The commissioners can now proceed to establish the dispensary and carry the act into effect. The dispensary people claim that the Injunction pre venting the city from becoming liable for any debts connected with the insti tution is a complete victory for them, that the supreme court will not enter tain the petition of the taxpayers, for the reason that they will have no cause to complain, as they cannot be taxed for the maintenance of the dispensary, and therefore will not suffer any dam age whatever. • * * Topographical Maps. The United States geological sur vey has completed a topographical sur vey and prepared maps of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. These maps are sold at the rate of 5 cents each, while for orders of 100 at one time the price is 2 cents per map. The United States geological survey has been engaged since its organiza tion in making a topographical survey and map of the United States, The maps are engraved on copper and printed from stone, in three colors. The cultural features, such as roads, railroads, cities, towns, etc., as well as all lettering, are in black; all water features are printed in blue, while the hill features are shown by brown con tour lines. For Georgia and Alabama each sheet shows a tract from 980 to 1,030 square miles, the area varying with the lati tude. An act of congress, approved February 18, 1897, prescribes that the maps shall be disposed of by sale. They are sold by the geological survey at Washington. An Outing For Georgia Editors. Members of the Georgia Press Asso ciation will probably visit the Charles ton exposition on Georgia day, April 15th. The following notice has been is sued by President H. H. Cabaniss: To the Members of the Georgia Press Association and the Weekly Press Associatioin of Georgia— Many members of the newspaper fra ternity of Georgia having expressed a desire to visit the Charleston exposi tion, we have taken up the matter with railroad authorities, and have the con sent of the railroads between Atlanta and Charleston to furnish transporta tion for every member of the Georgia Press Association and the Weekly Press Association of Georgia, from At- i lanta to Charleston and return. This transportation will be limited abso- j lutely to bonafide members of these : associations and one dependent lady member of the immediate families of the members of the two associations. It is suggested as a proper time to visit Charleston, that the members as semble in Atlanta, prepared to leave this city on the afternoon of Thursday, April 14th at 3:10, arriving in Charles ton on Tuesday morning, April 15th, Georgia day, and returning leave Wed nesday night, the 16th. It is presumed that the editors wish ing to take advantage of this trip can provide themselves with transporta tion to Atlanta. The Georgia railroad will transport the party to Augusta and return, and the Southern railway will furnish transportation from Au gusta to Charleston and return. Those who have not transportation to reach Atlanta can doubtless secure it by making direct application to the au thorities of the railroads coming to Atlanta, the Central, the S. A. L., the W. and A., A. and W. P. and the Southern, the G. S. and F., the Plant system and others, It is of the utmost importance that all who desire to go shall notify Mr. Cabaniss on or before April 5th. H. H. CABANISS. President Georgia Press Association.

They hung on trees and buishes for an hour or more before they were rescued by a ferryman, The damage to railroads and county roads is incalculable. It is said a new railroad bed will be necessary to be laid for miles. A number of western towns have been entirely cut off from all communi cation with the outside world since last Thursday. Special messengers in all direction have been coming in and report an awful situation throughout the entire western section. Passenger and freight trains are de railed all along the line, still in the same places where they stood four days ago. Passengers are making the best of it.
