NEW POSTOFFCE
NEAR COMPLETION
Atlanta, On. f June 21.—There
is considerable class to the looks
of Atlanta’s new postoffioe, and
it is looking more like a com
pleted government building every
day.
All tin* stone work Ihih been
finished, including the carving,
and u force or workmen is now
engaged cleaning up the interim
of debris. The strike some time
ago of the atone cutters was of
short duration, and the balance
of the work they had to do was
rapidly finished.
Chutes have been built from the
ground to the top lloor of the
building, with openings at each
floor, and all debris on each lloor
is being dumped down these
chutes into waiting wagons and is
being hauled away. The use 01 ,
the sand blast on the exterior of
lie building bus left it looking as
clean as when the granite was
i|uarried, and work on the interi
or of tlm building is now being
pushed. The roof has almost been
completed and it is announced at
Ihe Atlanta office of the Charles
McOaul Company, contractors,
that t he work is progressing ahead
of schedule.
MORE WHEAT AND LESS COTTON,
It, is gratifying to no m the re
vival of interest which the farm
ers of Georgia are beginning to
take in the cultivation of the
cereals.
From time immemorial we
have devoted our best farming
lands to cotton; and, while the
soil of the South is peculiarly
adapted to the growth of the royal
staple, it is an expensive policy
to specialize upon this one partic
ular crop when we are forced
thereby to pay enormous tribute
to ot her sections for grain.
An object lesson in the folly of
this false principle of economics
is presented by the recent rise in
tile price of wheat.
Notwithstanding the skyward
tendencies which have charac
terized tin* market quotations for
months, our farmers have been
obliged to pay the price. It, has
been a ease of Hobson's elioice.
And in every instance they have
been compelled to relinquish the
hard cash.
Hut why’ continue to pay this
unnecessary toll?
i'.vmi if it be true that we can j
• 1
not compete with the gram-pro- i
diicing states of tile middle West, i
is there anv sound of valid reason
why we sin mid not raise of wheat.
and oats whatever we need for
home consuuiption?
Some of us have no intelligent
appreciation of the wealth of fer
tility which our soil really pos
sesses. We are simply the victims
of old fogyism. We need to avail
ourselves of the modern ideas
which are being taught in the
agricultural schools.
And, thanks to the change
which lias come over the spirit of;
our people within the past few
years, it is p, -slide for the next
generation to profit by the mis
takes o f the last.
Ihversifieatinn of crops is the
talismanie formula which spells
prosperity for the industrious
ot Dixie. —Atlanta Georgian.
BITTEN BY RATTLESNAKE
OLD NEGRO WOMAN DIES.
Georgetown, Ga., June 21.
—An old n 'gro woman in .Mr. J.
J. Castelow s place was bitten yes
terday by a rattlesnake on the
hand and ilied m a short time.
Two physicians were telephoned
for to go out to see the woman
but when they got there they saw
there was no hope. She went out
to the potato patch and while
tucking out the potatoes from the,
stones and leaves the snake was
coiled up imder some rubbish and
becoming aroused struck her.
!NEGRO CHAUFFEUR
FINEU BY RECORDER.
Macon, Ga., June 20.—The case |
d the negro chauffeur, Clifford ■
Butler, who was charged with j
knocking down and running over j
i negro boy named Joe Taylor, a
jicycle delivery boy tor the Clis
>y Shoe Store,and which has been
continued for several days be- 1
•uuse of the inability of Taylor to j
ippear was heard yesterday by
Recorder Urquhart.
Butler was coming down and |
Taylor was going up Washington
avenue. Butler was to turn in on
Grange street at the College Hill
IMiarmaev, and Taylor, not know
ing this, swerved his bicycle to.
left to get, out of the way. Butler
turned into Orange street at the
same time, and ins auto collided
vith the bicycle, knocking down
Taylor ami throwing him under
'the machine. He was badly hurt,
but managed to crawl out from
under the car and to sit on the
•urhstone, the blood streaming
from the gash in his head. Butler
looked back and said something!
ibmit sending somebody for him
and went on.
In court Butler said that lie
•ould not help running against
Taylor as he turned into Orange
street, and that, he was bleeding
lie did not want to take him up m
the auto and carry him to the
hospital,but intended to telephone
to the city hall that tho ambu
lance might be sent for lum.
Taylor, who limped badly into
;ourt could not raise iiis right
inn to bo sworn in the case, and
seemed to he suffering from many
wounds.
OLIVER WILL BE
TRIED SATURDAY,
It is more than probable that
A. D. Oliver, the famous bunco
master from goodness knows
where, will bo given a hearing in
tin* Superior Court of Decatur
county the twenty-six of this
month, at t he regular term of that
court. Judge Bark of that circuit
will probably hear the trial.
Ul ver, according to the code of '
the state is guilty of a felony, the
same being as the law states a
failure to respond to a demand
from depositors for their monev
placed in his private bank, after
tlm time for the demand hud!
elapsed. The crime is one that I
will send him to the penitedtinry i
if lie is found guilty.
'The Bankrupt Court will have a
hearing of the matter regarding, l
his estate and that of the South
jern Manufacturing Co., on the
j dOth of June in Bainbndge.'This
I will determine at that time what
Ibis estate is worth and what is
owing against it. It is the general
belief that his victims will get
nothing for their money and
pains.—The Thoiuasville Times-
