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. L. P. W. 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. RA YMOND. 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.
