OF THE HALL REPORT
Present Legislature May Never See It.
Heavy Expense of the Investigation
of State Institutions.
ATLANTA. July II.—Will the mem-
hero of the legislature seo tho printed
report of tho Joe Hall Investigating
committee l>«fore adjournment? This
Is a question that the members of the
general assembly are asking each
other. Tho report has been In the
hands of tho printer for ten days or
two weoks and no ono aeemo to know
when the general assembly will re
ceive It In printed form. The report,
when printed, will make a volume of
hourly twelve hundred pages, and It
may be neceaaary to divide up tho
matter ao as to put U up In two
volumes.
When the report wan turned In to
tho legislature, a resolution was pass
ed to print (00 copies of It, for the
use of the members. To have rend it
would have ocrupled the attention of
the generul assembly for the greater
part of two days, as the report was
forced to consist of twelve . hurm.-.l
puges of type-written sheets of legal
cap. Just what the printing bill will
bo no one can say. hut the approxi
mate coot of the work, it la estimated,
will he about $500.

HON. HOKE SMITH’S ADDRESS
Arouses Great Interest st Hswkiniville.
Modern Educational Methods.
HAWICINSVILLE. Oa., July SI.—
Crowds of people came from miles
around to hear the address of Hon.
Itokg Smith of Atlanta who had been
Invited here to take part In the great
educational rally which had been ad
vertised to occur In Hawklnsvllle.
The court house would hardly hold
the people when Mr. Hinlth was Intro
duced by Judge John II. Martin. The
greater purl of his speech was devoted
to a discussion of tho rural schools
and how to educate tho children of the
rurul districts Into useful cltlsena. Ho
said that In every* rural community
there should be a graded school with a
term of not less than eight months,
and In order to accomplish this It
would be neceaaary to consolidate tho
different schools. All of the country*
schools should teach agriculture, and
he emphnelxed the Importance of this
showing from atntlstlca whut has been
accomplished In France, Belgium and
Holland nu a result of agriculture be
ing taught. The grammar schools, he
said, should teach manual training to
the boys and domestic science to tho
girls. Ills Idea of educating a boy Is
to bring out and develop his tnlenti
that he mny be able to accomplish th*
very best results In all hta undertak
ings for himself, hts fellow-man and
his God. Ills speech was full of whole
some lessons for both parents
children, and has created renewed In

a graded school in Mitchell's district

of all the schools In thnt district which
will beyond doubj be followed by other

BOLL WEEVIL BILL.
i the
Important Measure to Come Befoi
House This Week.
ATLANTA, July 81.—One of the
most Important bins to oome before
the house thin week will be the boll
weevil bill. This measure Increases
tho appropriation for the department
of entomology from $5,000 to $15,000.
The extra money Is needed for taking
precautions against the Mexican boll
weevil and to provide for more
nigh Inspection of orchards, nurs
eries, etc., and for lighting Insect
pests of one sort and another.
There Is the greatest danger that the
boll weevil will get Into Georgia and
If It does the loss mrfy run up Into
the millions. State Entomologist New
ell Is anxious to take every precau
tion and thinks two experts should be
constantly on the Vatch. Cotton Is
coming from Texaa Into the cotton
mill* of Georgia i^nd an Instance Is
cited of a shipment of "threshed cot
ton” received at Columbus. This Is
cotton that failed to open and the bolls
ore threshed and the Immature fibre
gotten out. A large amount of cotton
of that character was shipped from
Texas during the past season. The
boll weevil cornea easily in such cot-
Not only must shipments of cot
ton and seed be watched, but suspected
fields must be looked after. It Is not
believed that with such danger Im
pending that the legislature will fall to
i the bill and It Is suggested that
part of the fund should be Immediately
available.
There Is great need also for more
help In the Inspection of orchards and
nurseries. Thfre are seventeen mil-
llo»\ trees In the nurseries of Georgia
and two men are expected to Inspect
nil these in four months. In the last
,two years the mjrsery stock In the

COLUMBUS. Ga*. July 31.—At an all
day meeting at Good Hope Baptist church
In Chattahoochee county yesterday the
subject of cotton futures was discussed
nearly all day. Dr. W. II. Smith of this
city gave atrong talk on the evils of specu
tattoo.
One minister In attendance said that
If he had known last fall what the price
of cotton would bo this summer he would
be richer by thousands of dollars now
had he availed himself of the Information,
lie continued that nearly all the forms of
business are speculative to a certain
degree. This minister was alone In his
position, all the others condemning specu
lation.
One farmer, a prominent Chattahoochee
county Baptist, said that he speculated
In cotton last fall, but that It was too
fascinating, and he would advise his
brethem against It. It Is said he made
two thousand dollars out of futures.
IMMIGRATION BUREAU BILL.
Governor Favors Creation of a Com
missionsr and Secretary.
ATLANTA. July 31.—Tho house bill
with senate amendment providing for
the creation of a bureau of Immigra
tion for the state of Georgia Is lost
somewhere In the house, but may come
to the surface before the session
closes. The bill as passed by the house
provides for the appointment of a com
mission of Immigration, to consist of
one member from each of th^ eleven
congressional districts of the state, and
a secretary to be elected by the com
mission. The senate struck out the
commission of eleven and substituted
a commissioner %t a salary of $2,000
a year. This Is the way that the bill
now reads.
Just what the houee will do with the
amended bill no one aeems to know.
Some of the members say that the bill
will be killed# and others say that it
might be a good idea to make the sec
retary of state the commissioner of
imjnlgratlon. Governor Terrell, it is
said, favors the commission Idea, with
a secretary in immediate charge of the
bureau.

GEORGIA TROOPS
FOR MANASSAS
Only 1,500 Will-Bo Sent to the
campment by Gov. Terrell.
ATLANTA. July 3L—All prospects
of Georgia furnishing more than 1,500
to the encampment at 51anassas have
vanished. The government will pay
the expenses of sending this number
of men to Manassas, and feeding them
while there. To send a greater num
ber of men the state would have to
foot the bill and this the state will
not do. An effort w*aa made to get
the railroads to furnish transportation
at a nominal rate, but the best that
could be done wag a two cent rate,
the same as the government gets In
moving troops.
An effort wss made to get the fed
eral government to be more liberal
with Georgia, but nothing could be
done In this line. To have done more
would have brought on a kick from
many other states of the union. Next
yoar congress will likely make an ap
propriation large enough to carry out
the encampment provisions of the Dick
bill, and then Georgia will be able to
make a better showing.
COTTON IS POOR IN LOWNDES.

Causes.
VALDOSTA. Ga.. uJly 31.—Fifty
farmers who came to the city yester
day were interviewed on the condi
tion of the cotton crop and forty-seven
of them stated that It had received a
great backset In the last ten days.
Rust has appeared in all of the coun
ties around here and grasshoppers
have done much damage In the Cly-
atteville district. On an average. It
was stated that the damage from dif
ferent causes would amount to thirty
per cent. The staix Is very fine,
though poorly friuted.
