TnoMsoN, August 16.—[Special].—The

district met here yesterday. Hon. Thomas
E. Watson was elected chairman, and

Mr. Toombs Du Bose, of Wilkes, oflered

THE AOBICULTUHAI. SOCIETY.
ComuiUaioner Henderson on Inspection—
Deserved Tribute to Dr. Clifton.
NewKAH, August 16.—[Special.]—The
convention was much complimented on
being such a splendid body of men.
Commissioner Henderson said in his re
port before the convention that the actual
cost of inspection of fertilizers was only 9
cents per ton. Last year the surplus
turned into the State treasury, over and
above all expense of inspection, analysis
and departmental exjwuses, was $80,090
The Commissioner recommends that the
tax of 50 cents a ton now levied be reduced
to the actual ex;.eases of inspection, or
should it be retained at the present rate,
then he favors the surplus going into ex
perimental farms or stations.
The new arrangement of requiring all
guanos to be inspected in the State, he
says, increases the expenses and requires a
larger number of agents.
Mr. Jas. Barrett, ol Augusta, introduced
the following resolution, which was passed
the convention viz: “The State Ag
ricultural Society, recognizing the ability,
wisdom and profound scholarship of Dr.
L. B. Clifton, of Macon, Ga., uo hereby
recommend and insist upon his appoint
ment to a chair of natural science in the
Technological School of Georgia. He is a
profound scholar and a man of attain
ments. In him science has a devotee, and
agriculture a friend."
The Macon delegation was quartered at
the Virginia llouse, which lias entertained
them most royally.

Tailor anil Talbot County Line,
Butleu, August 16.—[Special.]—There
is a portion of the county line, between
this (Taylor) county and Talbot county
which is in dispute. Talbot haa the stock
law and Taylor has the fence. Aa the
line is not definitely known the people are
and have been frequently annoyed. At
tire last term of Taylor Superior Court,
which was last February, lire grand jury
of Tnvlor recommended that said
line be surveyed, or marked out.
The clerk of the Superior Court, of Tay
lor county, forwarded a certified copy of
such recommendation to the State Secreta
ry, as the law directs. His excellency the
Governor, had notice of the same and ap
pointed Surveyor Keneau to run said line.
The surveyor has never appeared, and
neither has he notified our ordinary of his
intention to do so.
The peopleon both aides of the line arc
very anxious that the nta-der be disposed
of, and we trust that the State authorities
will give it their attention at once.

Talbotton New Era: Many little girls
are pretty and sweet, but how many areas
smart as little Miss Katie Smith, the eight-
year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Tom
Smith, of Talbotton. Miss Katie’s mother
was quite sick for several days last week,
and.was unable to attend to her domestic
duties. Little Mi-s Katie took upon her
young shoulders the household work and
did the cooking for the family for three
days. We can certify as to her success, as
is said an onject could not be distinguished
fifty feet away by reason of the fog.
The stories differ as to what the liability
lies, if not due wholly to the fog and heavy
sea; hut the Thingvalla struck the Geyser on
ihe starboard side amid ships. The boats
qnickly recoiled, and within five minutes
the Geyser sank. The crew of the Thing
valla did all they could to save the Geyser’s
crew and passengers, while still in doubt
whether Thingvalla was not dangerously dis
abled; but pwing to the heavy sea only
thirty-one were saved, No other vessel was
near at the time.
The Wieland, on her way to this port, was
100 miles away. At 11:30 o’clock on the
morning of the 14th, the Wieland was
sighted. Signs of distress were made by the
Tbingvalla, und the transfer of passengers
began. The sea was then very heavy, but
no mishaps occurred in the transfer of pas
sengers.
The officers of the company were unable
to-night to g>ve a list cf the lost.
Capt A. A. Tebers, of the Wieland, tells
the following story: “At 10 o’clock on
the morning of August 14th, we
passed some wreckage floating on
the sea, and suspected that an accident had
happened somewhere. A little later'wo
sailed through the sea o[ oil and sigh ed the
broken boat of the Geyser. About 11:30 we
sighted the steamer tn'th» northward about
eight miles off. and, srning she h«d the g««
of distress up, we rim down to her. It proved
to be the Thingvalla, and Capt. Laub of that
vessel came to us in a small boat and begged
us to take off his passengers and those be
had saved from the Geyser. He said his
own vessel was so badly injured that he ex
pected her to sink u’t any moment. His
forward compartment was completely cut
below the water line. We sent out three of
our boats and the Thingvalla lowered two
of hers, and iu five hours we hail transferred
the saved passengers and crew of the Gey
ser, and also 455 passengers of the Thing
valla. The sea sgas very rough at the time,

very difficult. The immense hole in the
Thiagvalla'a bow was t.ieu patched up as
welt ns possible, and she started for Haiifaz.
The chief officer of each vessel was on deck
at the time of the collision."
STORIES OF EYE-WITNESSES.
Dr. Wern, of Copenhagen, a young dentist
who is on his way to Philadelphia to com
plete his studies, was among the Thingval-
la’s passengers. Iu describing the disaster
to an Associated Press reporter lie said,
“The life boats were prompt!, launched from
theThingva la and the work of rescue begun.
Out of the 120 passengers t^nd the crew on
the Geyser only 37 wore saved. Some of
them had reached their boats, but most of
them were picked up from improvised rafts,
chicken coons, camp stools and untiling else
that would limit. Till- Mirviu.n hid Gur
ry, as the Geyser went down, stern first,
about eight minutes after the crash.”
Among the saved passengers there is only

“What in the world has happened to you
since the last time I saw you?” asked one
lady of another when they met on the street
the other day; “I can’t understand it. Then
you were pale, haggard and low spirited,
and 1 remember you said that you hardly
cared whether you lived or died. To-day
you look ever so much younger, and it is
very evident from your tlearning face that
your low spirits have taken flight.” “Yes,
indeed,” was the reply; “and shall I tell you
what drove them away?. It was Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription. I was a martyr to
functional derangement until I began taking
the ‘Prescription.’ Now I am as well as I
ever was in my life. No wont in wno suffers
as I did, ought to let an hour pass before
procuring this wonderful remedy.”
