Union Veterans Want Homo.
A petition has been formulated by
the old union veterans of the Fitzger
ald colony, praying congress to erect
a soldiers' home at Fitzgerald, as
there are now many thousands of old
soldiers located in the southern states
and they find that the genial climate
is of great advantage to them in their
declining days.
This colony was settled originally
by them and they are still coming,
finding as they do a healthy and
balmy climate and a hearty welcome.
They fee) at home at once, but many
of them are cripples and in poor
health depend upon their little pen
sion for a support, consequently many
have to live without any of the luxu
ries of life.
A home at Fitzgerald would no
doubt be highly commendable to the
government by the old veterans.

just about 120 years of age, having
been born in 1784. she enjoyed the
unique and unusual distinction of liv
ing in three centuries, the 18th, 19th
and 20th.
Her extreme age and tho statistics
of the numerous posterity of this cen
tenarian have been matters of inter
esting newspaper stories for twenty
years past in northeast Georgia. She
had a grandson, Kimsey Hoggins, who
was a veteran of the civil war, and
died some years ago at an advanced
age.

Planning for Georgia Building.
President H. H. Tift, of the Georgia
Sawmill Association, which has given
the state SSOO in cash and all the ma
terial needed for erecting the Georgia
state building at the coming exposi
tion at St. Louis, was in conference
with Governor Terrell and Glascock
Barrett, assistant commissioner, at At
lanta the past week relative to the
plans in this connection.
The question of changing Ihe style
of the building from that of Liberty
Hall, Alexander Stephen's old home,
to that of Sutherland, the home of
the late General John B. Gordon, was
dismissed at some length, and to the
proposed change Mr. Tift gave his en
tire approval.
The Georgia building will be well
located. The site is one of the high
est upon the exposition grounds, and
Georgia will be in the midst of the
most prominent state and foreign
buildings and within short walking
distanco of the agricultural buildings
and others in which Georgia’s princi
pal exhibits will be displayed.

Value of Georgia’s Cotton Products.
iCotton products in Georgia for tho
year 1903, according to estimates
made at tho department of agriculture
amount to $101,855,000. This is an
increase of nearly $45,000,000 since
1901.
There were raised in Georgia la3t
year 1,300,000 bales of cotton, which
brought approximately $18,000,000.
From these 1,300,000 bales there were
650,000 tons of seed which netted $13,-
000,000. Crude oil from these seed
netted $1,800,000. The linters from
the cotton seed were sold for $1,300,-
000, while the cotton seed hulls
brought $1,755,000.
Cotton products, therefore, aro in
great demand, and there is a constant
increase in the prices.

Cane Station at Waycross.
Tho agricultural department at
Washington has asked congress for
an appropriation of $15,000 for tho
cane syrup experiment station at
Waycross. The station was operated
last year under a SIO,OOO appropria
tion, but there was expense in the es
tablishment of tho plant which could
not be foreseen, and there *is a de
ficit of $5,000. The $15,000 asked for
will operate this and tho new year’s
expenses. Secretary Wilson is very
much interesled in this work, and has
been co-operating with Mr. Brantley
in promoting the appropriation. It

Statement of Book Commission.
Following a conference and a for
mal meeting in Atlanta the past week,
the state text-book commission, to
which was intrusted the work of put
ting into operation the uniform text
book law, issued a statement in an
swer to certain charges with refer
ence to the manner In which the adop
tions were made, published in certain
state papers.
The recent charge consisted in the
statement that after all the bids for
books had been opened and consider
ed, the American Book Company was
allowed to reduce Its price on readers
by a supplement bid, which was un
dated, and that the same opportunity
was was given to other bidders.
The fact in tho ease is that the Hee
readers, offered by tae American
Book Company, wore adopted for ihe
third, fourth and nfth books, and all
other books in this class offered were
rejected. It was then that the com
pany was asked by the commission
to reduce its price, and it did so. The
reduction, at the request of the com
mission, was put in writing.
The members of the state text-book
commission aro Governor Terrel!,
Comptroller General William A.
Wright, Secretary of State Phil Cook,
Attorney Genera) John C. Hart and
State School Commissioner W. B
Merritt. Some of the members were
very much wrought up over the charg
es and were anxious to make a pretty
strong reply.
After careful consideration how
ever a statement was prepared by th
commission and given out by Gov
ernor Terrel), the gist of which Ib that
no secret or supplemental bids were
received, but lower prices were secur

In Wake of Terrific
Cyclone in North
Alabama.
MODNDVILLE IS WRECKED
Little Town in Hale County
is Literally Wiped Off the
Map—Death last is
Thirty-Eight.
—5
The most disastrous cyclone that
ever swept over northern Alabama
vls'ted Moundvllle, a town of 300 in
habitants, Friday morning at 1 o’clock,
and as a result, thirty-eight persons,
6lx white and (hlrty-two colored, wero
killed and sixty-five wounded, of
whom about a dozen aro expected to
dio
Every business houso, with the ex
ception of a small drug sloro, was
completely destroyed. •
Tho cyclone struck tho city from
tho southwest, dealing death and de
struction as It made its path through
tho town. Tho path of the cyclone
was a quarter of a mile wide.
Where once stood the ousiness por
tion of tho town, the depot and the
dwellings, there were found scores
of uiangled cattle, hogs, horses and
suffering humanity. So horrible was
the scene that it is impossible to de
scribe tho suffering and destruction.
Persons were blown hundreds of
feet from their beds in tho blackness
of night. Through terror, a father,
mother and three children fled from
their homo to seek retuge, and la
their excitement left a 5-year-old boy
In bed. When morning came he was
pulled from beneath some timber, and
thus far it is impossible to find any
other member of tho iannly.
Bedding, carpets and wearing appa
rol aro scattered a distance of ten
miles through what was a forest, but
which is now as clear as if it had been
cut by tho woodman’s nx.
Freight cars wero torn to splinters,
the trucks from them being hurled
hundreds of feet from the track.
The depot, the hotel, waro houses,
gins, thirty homes, the store houses
occupied by R. L. Griffin, A. W. Wig
gins & Son, W. J. Domenick, A. D.
Griffin and W. P. Phifer, together with
I heir stocks, wero completely destroy
ed. Where they Btood it. Is impossible
to find oven the pillars upon which
theso structures rested.
Bales of cotton, which were stored
In warehouses, were torn to atoms,
the fragments of lint lodging In trees,
making it appear as if that section
had been visited by a Bnowstorm.
Heavy iron safes were carried by the
Klorm, the doors of which wero torn
from their hinges.
Hundreds of homeless persons, hus
bands without wives, wives without
husbands, children without parents,
all without food or raiment, stood
amidst tho debris wringing their
hands in despair.
Surgeons were rushed io Mound
villo from Greensboro and Tuscaloosa
and all possible was done to alleviate
tho sufferings of tho Injured.
Relief measures were at onco ta
ken by the citizens of Tuscaloosa, un
dor the leadership of General W. W.
Brandon, adjutant general of Ala
bama. Six hundred dollars was raised
for the sufferers within a short time,
while the pupils from the female col
leges at Tuscaloosa went to Mound
ville and served hot coffee and food
to the destitute and wounded.
Telegrams wore received from Bir
mingham and other places offering as
sistance.
Tho tornado-swept district Is a
scene of much desolation, and drew
curious crowds of spectators for
miles around.
As soon as the victims received
medical attention they were carried to
Greensboro. Many horribly mangled
victims wero twenty-four hours with
out attention, owing to the great
scope of the cyclone.
An eye-witness of tho scene de
scribes the cyclono as resembling
great dark clouds, one from the east,
the other from the west, which met
one mile south of Moundvllle, causing
a tremendous roaring, great gulches
being plowed through the earth where
the clouds met.
