Seems That State Needs Ono to An
swer Inquiries.
ATLANTA. Dec. 23.—From the
number of Inquiries made at the state
house every day as to the resources
of Georgia and what inducements are
offered to home-seekers and investors
to come to Georgia and make this
state their home, there is ample evi
dence of the fact that Georgia stands
in need of a good information bu
reau or a commission of some kind
located at the capital to give people
from a distance such information as
is needed by them.
Early in the lnst session of the leg
islature a bill was introduced in the
house having for Its purpose the cre
ation of a board of immigration com
missioners. to be composed of one
member from each congressional dis
trict, this board to elect a secretary,
who was to be located at the state
house, and required to advertise the
resources of Georgia nnd put out In
formation calculated to attract people
to this state. The house passed the
bill but made no provision for main
taining the new department created
by the measure. When it fame to the
senate that body substituted for It a
commission of immigration. But this
wan defeated and the movement fell
through.
While the MU was under fire in the
senate a rumor was circulated that if
the new department was created and a
commission of Immlgrntlon provided
for. the place would be given to i
prominent south Georgian. This ru
mor seemed to some extent to wither
the prospects of the department
sought to be created, and toAiome ex
tent may have contributed to the de
feat of the measure.
VALDOSTA. Ga., Dec. 23.—Therq
as quite an excitement in the north
ern part of the city this afternoon over
fire which threatened half a dozen
of Valdosta's new and handsome homes,
The fire caught-In a sage field half a
mile away and burned with groat fury
until it reached the fences and out
houses of the homes of Dr. R. P. Rose,
Mr. Willis Lang. Mr. J. O. Cranford
and Mr. 81 Bacon. The unfinished resi
dence of Sheriff Passmore was also
threatened. The flr6 department was
called out and fifty or more people
fought the flames back until they were
subdued. The fire spread over more
than one hundred acres and the wind
swept It along like a inarching army,
the line of fire being about a half a
mile long. It took hard work to save
premises in that section of the city.
Missionary Conference.
The Baptists of this section will hold
their great missionary conference In
this city beginning on Sunday. Janu
ary 8. From three to four hundred

ence work is to' consist In entirely of
prepared addresses, missionary rallies.

To Have Sub-Station.
The postal authorities have decided
to establish a sub-station in this city
and it is to be located nenr the old
Georgia Southern depot. The business
of the postoffice here hns outgrown the
present quarters and the present force.
This year it will amount to about $21,-
000. There are fourteen men employed
in the office and they are worked to
their full capacity during office hours.
The sub-station, which is to be estab
lished on the first of January, will fur
nish accommodations to a large number
of citizens in the western part of tho
city.
SANDERSVILLE. Ga., Dec. 23.—
Boss Garrett shot and killed Special
Officer Gideon Mathis while resist
ing arrest for compulsory vaccination
at 2:30 o’clock this afternoon. Gar
rett escaped, with a strong posse in
pursuit.
posse overtook Garrett one mile
north of town. He attempted further
fight and was shot through the thigh
by Deputy Marshal Wilson, .arrested
and lodged In Jail.
Garrett also sustained a serious
wound In the right side from the pistol
of his first antagonist, Mathis,
is thought he will not survive.
The trouble which culminated In the
fearful tragedy enacted here this af
ternoon began two clays ago when Gar
rett refused to be vaccinated by the
physician assigned to his part of the
city and It is alleged made threats.
This afternon Officer Mathis, detailed
for this special service, called upon
Garrett at his place of business to rea
son about the matter. Here some
harsh, words were had, but Garrett
seemed inclined to be willing to leave
town, but did not and wag on the
streets today, when Officer - Mathis,
who had been instructed to arrest him,
proceeded to do his duty with the above
sad results.
The shooting occurred to the rear of
the stores on the north side of the
square, in a street little used, and It
lias not developed yet that there wa
an eye witness to the beginning of the
shooting. Garrett fired four shots two
taking effect, both entering Mathis’s
body, producing Instant death. Mathis
fired two shots, one causing a severe
wound In the right breast. Garrett
walked nnd rut) about a mile from town
where he was overtaken by a posse
and, still refusing arrest, wail shot
down by n member of the posse. His
left hip was torn almost away by this
shot. Garrett then surrendered and
was returned to town and landed in
Jail.
Considerable excitement prevailed
r a time. Garrett was known to be'
fearless mnn and had been an officer
himself. The inquest is in progress to
night over the body of Mathis, while
physicians arc in attendance upon Opr-
vett. Mathis leaves n wife and four
children nnd a large family of promi
nent people, while Garrett, If he suc
cumbs, will leave three small children.
