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- Enterprise. ROAD NOTICE.
