A TKINSON COUNTY.
Arnonjf nil thp measures before the
present General Assembly providing for
the creation of new counties none, in
our judgment, deserves more consider
ation than that, which proposes to honor
the name of the late Gov. W. Y. At
kinson The territory to be incorpo
rated in the proposed new county will
be taken from Clinch and Coffee coun
ties, and will aggregate 353 square
miles, with a population of 8,000, and
taxable values totaling $2,000,000. The
bill has been favorably reported by the
committee to which it was referred,
and we understand that it will be
strongly supported in the House.
It is hoped by Gov Atkinson’s thous
ands of friends throughout the State that
the bill will puss. No Georgian in public
life ever hud a more brilliant career or
left behind him a more honorable re
cord of useful service to the State. A
lasling monument to his wisdom as a
legislator is the Girls’ Normal and In
dustrial College, at Milledgeville. This
grent institution of learning wits his
own conception, and the bill for its
establishment was enacted into law
mainly through his efforts. An acknowl
edged leader during his eight years'
service as a member of the lower branch
of the General Assembly, ho was al
ways found championing those meas
ures that hud us the end in view the
welfare and development of the com
monwealth. I,titer, ns Governor, ho pur
sued the same patriotic policy, never
losing sight of the main purpose of his
life—to serve the people in all helpful
ways, and to glorify his State.
Surely, a faithful publiy servant with
such a record deserves to be remem
bered, and in honoring bis memory by
giving Ins name to one of the new
counties the Legislature will honor it
self.
VV. Y. Atkinson was one of Georgia’s
really great men
THE I'HESS CONVENTION.
The annual convention of the Georgia
I'resa Association til Kastman last
wi ck, and the by-trip, were thoroughly
enjoyable and immensely enjoyed by
the nearly two hundred ladies and gen
tlemen who made up the party that
went to Eastman, and later to Bruns
wick.
i-astman, the place of meeting, is a
town of much interest. It is the coun
ty-seat of Dodge, and one of the new
cities of South Georgia. It is on the
Southern railway that branch of this
great system once known as the Macon
and RrunBwick road 57 miles southeast
of Macon. It will bo recalled that this
old road was once under the control of
the State, Georgia having indorsed its
bonds, Btul if the men of forty years
ago could have foreseen some things
t he vexing questions connected with the
Western and Atlantic railroad would
not now be in such unpleasant evidence;
the State might have owned a
through line from Chattanooga to the
«en
Dodge county was created in 1870,
and the town of Kastman was char
tered the same year. The county was
named for Wm. E. Dodge, the noted
philanthropist of New York City, and
the town for Wm M. Kastman,of New
Hampshire These gentlemen owned
large bodies of wild land in this section
of the State, and the county and the
town received llteir names in that wwy.
It is due to their memory to say that
they were better friends of the South
than some men who came this way
from up North in the days of recon
struction. The town has a population
of several thousand, and its husim ss
houses and residences are substantial
and attractive. The city has water
works, (nn artesi.il! well furnishing the
water,) electric lights, and a beautiful
court house, besides several churches
and a large school building. The coun
try round about, while less broken than
North Georgia, is more undulating than
u resident of this section of our State
would expect to find. One fact at
tracted special attention; - the county
is still under the old fence law, and the
old worm fence, so familiar in other
days in our own section, still encloses
many of the fields. Much of the tim
ber along the line of the railroads and
highways has been cut and sawed into
lumber of various sorts, and the coun
try ta unpleasantly Imre of trees in
places. But the county ts full of good
farms, ss is much of the country along
the railroad from Macon to Brunswick,
and it is easy to see from the car win
dows that much corn —more corn than
cotton, apparently —has been planted in
this part of the State the present year.
B'sid s corn and sugar cane, we saw
wt-,,1. fields of groundpeaa—a fine feed
f,,r h> gs, as every farmer knows —and
tl r untry is full of cattle running at
, Vh. set that-nu h of the land
j, n p- slot ui fit for cultivation, yet
8 fT i p.sturage, explains the
8 i. ,-f destock law. This section
of Georgia was largely undeveloped un
til within recent years, and was known
ag the “wiregraas region"—a name
which did not carry with it much that
commended it to the outside world. But
railroads have come, many people have
moved in from other sections of the
country, and South Georgia has devel
oped and progressed remarkably.
Moreover, the people have been largely
redeemed from the terrors of the mos
quito and malaria. The clearing of
swampB, the introduction of artesian
wells, the use of screen windows and
doors, and other sanitary measures,
have almost banished from the land the
plague of chills and fever, and that
dread scourge, hemorrhagic fever. To
a North Georgian, accustomed to the
hillH and valleys of a higher latitude,
the country looks flat and unattractive
in many places, but there is never-fail
ing novelty in the long-leaf pine, and,
near the coast, the live oak with its
drapery of long moss.
The hospitality of Kastman was warm
and gracious. The town laid itself out
for the entertainment of the associa
tion. Welcome was blazoned every
where -in the beiutiful decorations, in
thi; hearty greetings of the people on
the streets and in the Htores, in the
ready service of old arid young, and,
most of all, in the homes of the citi
zens. The members of the association
are especially indebted to Mr. C. M.
Methvin, editor of the Eastman Times-
Jounml, and chairman of the reception
committee, and to Mrs. T. H. Edwards,
for the ample and thoughtful' arrange
ments for the entertainment of the
body.
The sessions of the convention were
of much interest to the members. An
interesting programme had been ar
ranged by President P. T. McCutchen
and his committee, and was successful
ly carried out. The association, bv a
practically unanimous vote, decided to
discard the use of all sorts of intoxi
cants at its future meetings, thus reg
istering a protest against the popular
idea that newspaper men are much giv
en to the use of beer und like bever
ages. The questions, ’’How to handle
foreign advertising,” “How to stop
some of the leaks in printing establish
ments, ” and ‘‘How to make the coun
try weekly more acceptable to the peo
ple,” were all ably discussed.
It is a sort of unwritten law of the
association that no one shall be chosen
president of the body ufter two years’
service. Under this rule Bro. Mc
Cutchen, who is one of the pioneer
members of the body and lias made an
exceptionally good president, declined
re-election, and Mr. J. C. McAuliffe,
of the Milledgeville News, was elected.
Decatur will entertain the association
next year, with an after-trip to Savan
nah.
On Monday night there was a public
reception at the court-house, with
speeches of welcome and responses,
and Tuesday evening Mrs. T. H. Ed
wards entertained the press members
at n brilliant reception.
Tuesday afternoon the members were
given an auto trip to the twin cities of
McRae and Helenu, 20 miles from East
man, (across the line in Telfair county,)
und returned by way of Jaybird Spring.
A splendid basket dinner was served
right on the lino between the two
towns, which, although so near, seem
to feel no jealousy toward each other.
Jaybird Spring is something of a mar
vel in its way. A bold spring bubbles
up right in the middle of a swamp, and
the water allows an unusually fine anal
ysis, with qualities that make it spe
cially good for stomach and blood dis
eases.
Wednesday afternoon tKe members of
the association left Eastman for Bruns
wick. Thursday the Chamber of Com
merce of Brunswick touk charge of its
guests and gave them an excursion
down the harbor, including a visit to
Jekyt Island, where many Northern
millionaires have winter homes; to his
toric ami romantic St. Simon’s Island,
where old Frederica, one of the dead
cities of Georgia, once stood for a brief
white; and finally out to saa, whore
some of the party had their first expe
rience on the wide-heaving ocean.
On Friday many of the party went
on an excursion to Fernandina, includ
ing a stop at Dungeness, on Cumber
land Island, and other points of inter
est down the coast.
Altogether, the convention and its
accompaniments afforded much pleasure
to those who had the opportunity of at
tending it. The presence of so many
ladies was a most agreeable and; refin
ing feature of the several occasions
which brought the members together.

We have received “Georgia,” pub
lished by the State Department of
Agriculture. It is an interesting and
useful compendium of the State's re
sources. and beautifully illustrated with
photographs showing the world of pos
sibilities in this great State. In an in
troductory note Commissioner Price
says; “To tell the world of Georgia’s
resources, indust-ies and possibilities;
to show the prospective settler, investor
and developer what of promise Georgia
has for him, hy telling him what others
have done; to point a road to peace,
prosperity and contentment where oth
ers have attained it; to give new and
timely information in answer to inqui
ries which reach this office from day to
day from every State and many eoun-
| tries, this little book is published by the
State Department of Agriculture. If |
in any way it helps Georgia to grow in
greatness and wealth and power, its
mission will have been well accom
plished.” The money expended input
ting Georgia to the fore in such a light
is money well spent, and in so doing
Commissioner Price has rendered the'
State u valuable service.
Of 3,882 convicts in Georgia, more
were sent up for murder than for any
other single crime. The number of
convicted murderers doing time on
chaingangs in the State is 939. Bur
glars come second, with 745. Man
slaughter ranks third, with 486. As
sault with intent to murder is fourth,
with 333. Larceny is fifth, with 171.
In other words, 1,748 of the convicts in
Georgia are serving time for taking or
attempting to take the life of others.
Nearly half of the total number of men
in penal servitude are men whose hands
are stained with the blood of their fel
lows, or whose impulse was to kill.
It may not be a hard matter to de
feat Tom Hardwick for the Senate,
but it will take a bigger man than
“Little” Joe Brown to do it.—Griffin
Ncwb and Sun.
This reminds us that there was a
good deal of snickering over the State
when “Little Joe” first announced for
Governor against Hoke Smith—yet we
all know what happened to Smith.
Which leads us to remark that it isn’t
safe to prophecy just what "Little
Joe” might not do in a pinch.

The Georgia Chamber of Commerce
has written the secretary of the Ray
mond Industrial Club asking that he
furnish a list of the industries of all
kinds needed in the community, and as
Boon as this list is received the organi
zation will go actively to work assisting
the local club in getting these indus
tries located at Raymond.
From common information, it seems
there is a general revival in the busi
ness world, and that the time is ripe
for locating now businesses in the va
rious communities. The Georgia Cham
ber of Commerce expects to put a com
petent man in charge of this end of the
work, and it is believed that within the
next twelve months hundreds of new
concerns and manufacturing enterprises
will be located in different towns of the
State. An effort will be made to ge
these additions from outside the State,
and thus increase the genera! posses
sions of the State-at-large, as well as
of the local communities. The Ray
mond Industrial Club will bo glad to
have those interested in this matter
communicate with them, and let them
know what industries, in their opinion,
are needed, and would prove paying
propositions. The Georgia Chamber of
Commerce is anxious for this informa
tion immediately.
Congressman Adamson spent an hour
in Raymond one day last week.
Mrs. Kate Woodall, of LaGrange,
was the guest Tuesday of Mrs. O. D.
Adamson.
Mr. Luther Winslett and family, of
Atlanta, are Bpending a few days with
relatives in Raymond.
Dr. O. D. Adamson has received a
letter from Fairburn stating that one
of the balloons sent up here on the 3d of
July was picked up at that place, and
asking that the prize offered of one dol
lar be sent to the finder. The Doctor
gladly complied with the request. This
means a 25 mile trip that the balloon
made before it finally teturned to the
land. A pretty good’trip for one little
balloon all by itself.
Mr. Nick Martin has returned to East
Point, after spending a week with his
sister, Mrs. W.*L. Stevenson, near
Raymond.
Muster Clarenee Stevenson, of Ho-
gansville, is spending a week with his
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Ste
venson.
Mr. Oscar Waltom, of Newnan, spent
a day in Raymond last week, and re
ceived many congratulations upon the
pleasing speech ho made at the barbe
cue on the 3d of July. Come again,
Mr. Waltom.

There is more catarrh in this section of the I y
country than all other diseases put together, and g
until the lust few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors pronounced
it a local diseas* and prescribt*d local remedies,
and by constantly failing to euro with local treat
ment. pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s ^
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitutional cure y
on the market. It is taken internally. It acta di
