Morgan to Have New Court House.
.Morgan county is to have a new
$40,000 court lious *. The county
commissioners have ordered an elec¬
tion for the 17th day of January for
the purpose of hv.ulng Sih.oee worth
of bonds to erect the new building. It
is safe to say the election will go for
bonds overwhelmingly, ns the old
court house is in bad condition and
unsafe.

Banks Aid Holders of Cotton.
Owing to the great slump in the
price of cotton during the past month
v my of the farmer.-, are holding the
remainder of their crops for better
prices.
The banks have been veyy liberal
and have advanced a considerable
amount of money on the cotton, which
wtm quite ait accommodation for some
of the farmers who could not have
held their cotton for better prices.

Want River Oopeneti to Gulf.
A rousing meeting of citizens of
Rome was held a few days ago to take
steps to get tin appropriation from
congress to open the Coosa river to
the gulf.
It will take about $0,000,000 to open
the stream for navigation to Mobile.
Several from a distance attended the
meeting, and everything j • •••ih'e will

New G* , Georgia Troops.
Georgia troops will undergo another I
change in arms at a very early date!
Although but recently equipped with
tilt* Kim;.; d urge n mu rifle;;, a newer
and better gun 1ms be; u adopted by
th*> United States .government known
tile New Springfield ride, and as
soon us tU*' regular army is equipped
with these rilte; they will he issued
to the vo.unteer forces of the country.
This means that the Krags will be
discarded as were the old-time Spring
fields some time ago.
It is thought that by next year this
time the Georgia men will be carry¬
ing thy new t itles and when on camp¬
ing. duty or in camp will be wearing
the olive drab, us it is the intention
of the state authorities to get olive
drab clothing when the next requisi¬
tion is made on the government.

Trading Stamp Tax Valid.
The validity of Atlanta's trading
stump tax ordinance is upheld in a
decision handed down a few days ago
by Judge J. H. Lumpkin, of the Fulton
county superior court. Tire cast' de¬
cided was that of S. M. Hewing
..gainst the city, in which it was
•■ought to restrain tHo city from en¬
forcing the tax ordinance.
Judge Lumpkin held that stamps
are sold and mu given away by mer¬
chants. and therefore constitute a sop
urate business, which is taxable. He
also held that the amount of the tn>1,
SHOO, is not prohibitory, a- the city
charter permits a charge ox as much
as $200 license fee on any class of
business enterprises
The case will be carried to the su¬
preme court and the original order
will remain in force until decision is
rendered.

School Fund Apportioned.
State School Commissioner W B.
-Merritt has just completed the work
*f apportioning the state school fund
for 1905.
The land, which is derived from va¬
rious sources, including $1,009,000 from
direct taxation. $200.t»00 from the
Western and Atlantic rental, $l’70,iU 0
from poll taxes, $17*.v * from the liq¬
uor tax and sma.t ;• a no :aus from va¬
rious other sources, will be more than
$1,723,000 in 19e5, or $200.oOO more
than lias ever been distributed before.
This increase is due to the increase in
the general appropriation from $S00,
000 to $1,000,000.
In addition to the foregoing there
will be during the year about $200,000,
derived from the hire of convicts,
which will be distributed among the
108 counties which do not receive fel¬
ony convicts from the state for work¬
ing their public roads. This amount
has not, ox course, been included in
the apportionment, because it is not
apportioned among all the counties.
As a matter of fact, therefore, the to¬
tal school fund for lb 5 will be more
than $1,900,000.
This apportionment of the school
fund for 1905 was made on a basis of
the school population according to the
school census taken in 1903.

A Great Agricultural School.
On ray recent trip to the University
of Wisconsin in company with the
board of trustees of opr State Uni¬
versity, I had the pleasure of studying
the agricultural department of that
institution and of talking for several
hours with Dr. W. A. Henry, the
Dean of the school, as a guest in his
home.
The experiment station and college,
are together and form an integral
pert of tlie university. Hence the
students can take part in the research
work of the • te.f Ion, watch tin .*;
meats ami learn how to make t<.:
on their own farms, in addition to Lie
class-room instruct;;.u of the p.o" ; .

conduct research work in subjects >e
lating to agriculture at the station,
and certain other funds to help main¬
tain an agricultural and mechan' ai
college. Now, Wisconsin bus not been
content with what the general gov¬
ernment gh. : but has cTcrmd build¬
ings and purchased about 400 acres
of land and •• mpiie.t k l>or.stork* •, li ve¬
stock and other equip;..cats for her
agricultural d< pi.rtrn -at alone amount¬
ing to $411,300.
Does such an outlay pay the state?
Most decidedly, ye;;. They have over 1
loo young Men taking the four-years’ j
course amt each year over 500 men :
come for the school winter course. j
They study animal husbandry, dairy ,
ing and crops suitable to Wisconsin. j
The Babcock milk test, invented j
by one of the prole-mors, saves over
a million dollars a year to the dairy j
and cheese production of the state.
The discovery of moasts of preventing
smut on oats saves perhaps another ;
million. Other instances might be
given to show the wisdom of the law- '
makers of Wisconsin.
No Investment of the state yield

that these would become a part of
every farm. Our young men would
come to the agricultural courses by
the hundreds each year. Farming
would regain Us place of first rank
among the wealth-producing occupa* j
tions. Eighty-five per cent, of our I
people are on farms. They must re- j
ceive more attention at the hands of j
our lawmakers. Build up the agri- j
cultural College so that it will be the
peer of any of the departments of our
university or of any other state.

Sloe! King Reiterates That He Knows
Nothing About Airs, (hadwick.
Andrew Carnegie’s secretary was
asked Thursday whether Mr. Carnegie
would make public his reply to an in¬
quiry from County Prosecutor Keeler,
of Cleveland, asking formally if V*
Carnegie had signed his came to notes
for $ 1,250,000. Mr. Carnegie's secre¬
tary said Mi*. Carnegie would not
make public his reply.
“Mr. Carnegie can only say what he
said at first," said the secretary, "that
he does not know Mrs. Chadwick; that
he has had no dealings with her. and
that the connection of bis name with
the case is absurd."
County Prosecutor Keeler, at Cleve¬
land. Ohio", received the following tele¬
gram Thursday from Andrew Carne¬
gie, at New York, in reply to an in¬
quiry as to the genuineness of the sig
nat tires:
"Never signed sm h notes;* have no
notes out now; have not issued a note
for many years. You can arrange to
have any necessary affidav; - ,xecuted
