THE SITUATION MOKE SEKIOUS The Board of Education cannot le gally take control of tho Public Li brary, and no legislation can be» en acted no give the board this right, says Judge A. L. Miller in a written opin ion given yesterday, and nour tho special committee from the library having this matter in charge are nt their rope's end. Judge Miller's opinion Is brief, but to tho point, and it conclusively settles tlie possibility of having the library ipass into the control of the Board of Education. The opinion ns given the special library committee yesterday la as follows: “Macon, Ga.. Oct. 17, 1894.—'T<» the Special Committee on Library Matter: I am of the opinion that thp Board of Education hna no legal power or au thority to 'accept the Public Library and 'maintain It from the public taxes. Nor do I thlnlc the legislature has the established power to pass a special act to authorise the Board of Education to •tako ithe action desired by the Ubrary people. A. L. Miller. “We concur In the above opinion. ■'Rynlfl & Stone. Attorneys." This opinion avas banded to Mr. E. A. Waxetbauni yesterday morning, and he called or. Col. "Hughes, presi dent of the library, nt. the latter's resi dence, In’Vlneville, takt night to sub mit the matter toh lm. No action was taken, as Col. Hughes wue contlned to bis bed. He hopes to be out in a few dabs,^ however, when something defi nite wilt be done looking to an adjust ment of tho'library’s affairs, 1 Mr. Waxelbaum makes tho ktate- mont that the. library owes no floating Indebtedness and that Che only debts now pressing the directors are those with which the public Is already fa miliar. ■ Tho cause of the library’s present financial condition seems to bo the falling off In' membership, which has been reduced about one-half within the past two years. It Is believed that If a goodly number of new members could he secured the directors might yet be able to find eome wag.,out of the dllllcut;>* surrounding them. Some Immediate financial aid In tlic Shape of a limited number of monletl dona tions would afford temporary relief, and then tho directors could adjust ■matters looking to a speedy Increaeo of members, which It would be their object to bring about. There seems tn bo yet a way of clearing the library or debt If the public .will manifest a llttlojntereat la the matter, , WILL THEY GET 1T7 A Illtoh Over tile Gambling Privilege at tlio Pair.

Yevterday was the day on whlth all noies held by bankers and supiply mer chants against farmers, not heretofore taken up. fell due. and in coneequence there was an unusual number of farm ers In the city. The banks, warehouses and provision houstts .were crowded until 'they closed while every branch of 'trade, even to the retail dealers, felt the good effect of the farmers’ ,presence an ithe city, by creased sales and heavy laden tills when night-time came. “The farmers are in good condition,” Baid Mr. Dennis Nelllgan, accountant for the Unicn Savings Bank, to a Tele graph reporter yesterday, “and are well up with their .payments; in fact, they are ahead of last year, and there will be very little paper carried over. It ha<i been a 'busy day with us, and I could not stop «for dinner.” What Mr. Nelligan says of the cus tomers of the Union Savings Bank ,is true of other 'banks and business houses dealing with 'the farmers, und there is no doubt -that the farmers are Irv much better oonditlon ithah ever be fore, notwithstanding the low price of cotton. But just so long us the farm ers raise an abundance of corn, and oorn also means meat, they. can live happily and in plenty. The farmers of -Bibb and adjacent oountle* have been specially fortunate in having good com crops for the past three seasons, and the season« have also been favorable to other (grains. Their stock will be well foil, no matter how severe tihe winter may be. and the profit derived from the low price of cot ton, If there be nny profit, will be suffi cient for what luxuries the farmers und their families may desire. The retail merchants of Macon would be glad to see more settllng-up days, for while thoy run few accounts with she farmers, they get the benefit ot the shopping they do while In the cly, and, as eveidenced by. yeeterday’s sales. It amounts to a great deal. A STRONG COMBINATION. Mcesrs. Legare and John M. Walker Form a Partnership. It will be good news to those people having h’omes 'to rent or sell to learn that Messr*.

Mr. Legare Walker has been literally reared in the real estate and Insurance business In Macon, and few men hi this Ity tire as well nullified to judge of the value of Macon property. Mr. John M.
