Judge Aids Farmers.
In order to afford farmers an op¬
portunity to work their grass-ridden
cotton fields, Judge Littlejohn has
postponed the session of Sumter su
perior court two weeks. Grass runs
riot over all plantations, labor is dif¬
ficult to obtain and the crop prospect
is poor indeed.

ness men of the section, doing yeo¬

of $”70 to John T. Gordon for the
arrest of George Gordon, Sr., who
was recently convicted of setting lire
to and burning the ginhouse of R. S.
Russell, in Jones county, on December

Judge A. W. Raines, judge of the
city court of Dawson, Terrell county,

mission in Atlanta a few days ago

victs to the farmers, for the purpose
of chopping grass out of cotton.
Secretary Yancey informed Judge

purpose*'.
Great Interest in Scate
Interest continues to grow in state
fair matters and in the agricultural
sections the state the big event is
the topic of much private discussion, j
as well as newspaper writing. Callers
from different sections of the state j
are calling on Secretary Frank Wel¬
don at his office in Atlanta every day
now and each of them brings the As¬
surance that his particular section of
the state is much interested in the .
fair. Among the counties which are
to make exhibits a lively rivalry that
promises tine exhibits has already
sprung up.

Maddox Not a Candidate.
Judge John W. Maddox of, Rom*
will not be a candidate for governor
in the coming state primary. He has
announced this definitely. At the
same time, he announced that he
will give his hearty support to the ;
candidacy of Hon. Clark Howell of
Atlanta.
Judge Maddox's name has been
very generally mentioned in connec¬
tion with the governorship race. He j
has, up to this time, made no definite
anouncement as to his plans and pur¬
poses, but now he expresses himself
in no uncertain terms.
* * *
To Break Up Smaller Camps.
It will he the policy of the prison
commission to break up the smaller
convict camps wherever possible on
account of the great expense attach¬
ed to guarding and furnishing physi¬
cians, which service is paid for by
the state.
In line with this policy the oo\
vict camp of twenty five men at Mil
wood. of which O. W. Ixiwther wa..
the proprietor, has just been discon¬
tinued. and the twenty-five men con¬
solidated with the large camp at
Fargo. This at once relieved the
state of an expense of $2,700 a year.
Mr. Lowther sub-leased liis con¬
victs from Hamby and Toomer, who
have since supplied him with mis¬
demeanor convicts in place of them
and with which he is just as well sat¬
isfied.
* * *
To Make More Inspections.
Colonel W. G. Obear, inspector gen¬
eral of state troops, is busily engaged
in arranging his inspection dates for
inspecting those companies which
were put on probation during the reg
ular annual inspections just complet¬
ed. Some eighteen or twenty com¬
panies in various parts of the state
were placed on probation, with warn
ing that they must make marked ini*
provement within six-y days, in de¬
fault of which they would be recom¬
mended for disbandment. Each of
these will have to undergo another in¬
spection.
* * * •
Hotel Sticks to Double Rates.
An ultimatum from the Piedmont
hotel, to the effect that it will con¬
tinue to charge double rates during
conventions, promises by other hotels
of Atlanta that they will not ad¬
vance rates, hut will reduce them
if it becomes necessary to secure any
large convention, and the adoption of
a resolution, declaring that the cham¬
ber of commerce will in future lay
stress and empnasis upon the ‘‘lib¬
eral spirit and ample service” of
other hotels, “with a due statement
of the rates” of the Piedmont hotel,
were the features of a meeting held
a few days ago at the Atlanta cham¬
ber of comerce.
President Coming in October.
President Roosevelt will visit Geor- j
gia in October. The date has not
been fixed, but the president has de¬
termined to make the visit. This in¬
formation has come through a letter
dictated by the president to Major
Jeff Dunwody of Atlanta. The letter
was signed by Secretary Loeb. In the
letter Mr. Loeb said that the presi
dent had directed him to say he had
determined to visit Atlanta and Geor¬
gia, and that he would do so early in
October. Mr. Roosevelt has several
times planned to visit Roswell, the
home of his mother, but has been
prevented by stress of business. It is
more than likely that this desire is
what has prompted him to determine
upon this visit. Major Dunwody is a
third cousin of the president and re
cently called on him while in Wash¬
ington. The mother of Mr. Roosevelt
was a first cousin of the father of

Hail Did Enormous Damage.
Date reports from the hail storm
which swept over Laurens county a
few days ago indicate that damage
was done to the extent of many thou¬
sands of dollars. Some farms were !
ruined completely, no cotton or corn j
being left standing. In some sections,
chickens, pigs and knocked turkeys from were the killed, roofs j
shingles were j
of houses and other damage done.
Outhouses were blown almost en- j
tircly away. The downpour The of storm rain j

NO UNIVERSITY FOR AILANIA
Proposition is Voted Down by the Presby¬
terian General Assembly.
The southern Presbyterian general
assembly adjourned at Fort WJorth,
Texas, late Thursday night, with¬
out having taken a vote on the ques¬
tion of federation with other branches !
of the Presbyterian church, nearly all
the evening session having been
taken up by an argument by Dr. C.
R. Hemphill of Louisville, Ky., Dr.
Hemphill spoke for an hoqr and a
half on the subject, favoring coop¬
eration.
A committee report recommending
the establishment of a university for
the southern church, at Atlanta, Geor¬
gia, was voted down during the day.
The principal feature of the morn¬
ing session was a discussion of the
project of establishing a university
for the entire southern church at At¬
lanta.
The theory of those who opposed
adopting the favorable report of the
committee was that such an institu¬
tion should have more than $1,000,000
to start on, and that if there is to
be a school for higher education, that
one of the existing schools should be
chosen rather than build a new one.
Tbe question was finally#.'settled by
an amendment being offered to the
effect that the general assembly does
not see its way clear to undertake
such an enterprise, but, at the same
time, appreciates the work of those
who have been pushing the question
and wishes them success in their un¬
dertaking provided they -choose to
carry it on independent of the general
assembly for the sake of the synod
or the section of country immediately
surrounding Atlanta. There were
many commissioners who stood firm
for the proposed institution, but these
were outnumbered two to one when
the final vote was taken.
MIXICAN H*R UTERANS MEET.
Grizilv Heroes Hold Their Annual Reunion
-in Dalles. Texas.
About one hundred and fifty vet¬
erans of the war with Mexico met
in Dallas, Texas, Tuesday to attend
the annual reunion of members of
the National Mexican War Veterans'
association.
The average age of those presem
Is in excess of eighty years. The
