COOHTT OFFICERS AID THE FIHBB
OP NIIIDBMIATOB CONVICTS,
The eoUeltmo and county officer* of
the state are considerably stirred np over
the report whioh- coot** from Atlanta
that Governor Oandtar, in hia forth
coming memagB to the general assembly,
will make eotne recommendations with
regard to the control at oonrict* and the
dispoaltioa of floes aooraing through
the payment of eentenoee imposed for
miedemoonoT offenses, Whioh, if aerried
into effeot, will deprive some of the
ooanty offloere end especially the
•uperlor oonrt eolidtors of the cream ot
tbelr ofQoee.
Information from Atlanta is to the
effeot that the governor not only pro
pose* that the authority of tba state
oonviot commission shall he extended to
inolode the entire oontrol of ell mis
demeanor oonviot* of the state, bat that
all fines aooraing from misdemeanor
offenses shall be turned Into the elate
treasury, probably for the school fnnd.
If thla ahonld be done, thue depriving
the offloere of the court* of the payment
of Insolvent costa obtained from fines
paid by misdemeanor oonvlota, the oonrt
offloere claim that their offices would, In
many of the counties, be rendered
worthless. The solloitor general would
perhap* be the hardest hit, se the
revenue* of his offloe depend almost en
tirely npoo these floes.
Naturally the county offloere of the
state who have been Informed of the
governor's Intention, ere np in arms
against the new move, end it is eald
that a number of the solicitors general
are already In Atlanta endeavoring to
bring snffloienc pressure upon the gov
ernor to prevent Hie reoommoodation
whioh, aooording to report, he intends
to make. The Bavannah Newt it onr
authority for the statement that dr
oolers ere already being sent nut to the
oounty offloere throughout the state,
wonting them of the effeot of the pro
posed measure end oalltng upon them
to nee their lnflnenoe with their repre
sentatives in the general aaaembly to
prevent the passage of sooh a measure.
A pamphlet pobliehed In London in
1809 predlota that ootton would grow aa
well In Virginia as In Italy, and the au
thor of another pamphlet, published in
1630, mentions ootton as a product that
may be had in abandonee in Virginia;
but Bancroft'* History of the Ignited
States lays the first experiment In oot
ton culture in the Thirteen Colonies
wee made In Virginia In 1031, when the
ootton seeds were planted as an experi
ment, end their "plentiful ooming up”
wax at that early day a anbjeot of inter
est in Amorioa end England. Ootton
wool was listed in that year at 8 pence
a pound, whioh lndioate* that it may
have been grown earlier.
One of the saddest speotaoles of mod
ern times is presented in the flight of
Paul Kroger from his beloved Trans
vaal to the protecting arms of a friendly
European nation. The world shows in
terest at the announcement of his de
parture from Lorenzo Marquez, and
wishes him a aafe voyage.
Mr. W. R. Lcaken, the repnblioan
nominee for congress in tho First dis
trict, seems to ho as terribly iu earnest
concerning his oandidacy as it he really
expected to be elected.
It really looka like Great Britain has
been more than willing for Oom Pool to
leave Sooth Africa at hia leisure -rather
than aa (prisoner of war. Had Lord
Roberta been especially anxious to effeot
the oapture of the former president of
the Transvaal repnblto ha ooold, with
the meant at his oommand, easily have
aooompliehed his purpose. : Instead,
however, the unfortunate -t#l Hatch-
man haa been permitted to tote Ms own
time about leaving the shores of Africa,
and it Is probaole that the reported ef
forts to'make him a prisoner were more
imaginary than real.
It north and middle Georgia have an

make the moat of her opportunity this
fall, and the rest ot Georgia will find
out some things about the wirngrats- re
gion it dtd't know before. The aeleo-
lion of Valdosta as the plsoeof holding
the atete fair' of 1900 was a fortunate
thing, and tha lower oounties will not
fall to do what' la expected of them la
adding to the triumph of the enterprise;
An undertaker'* bruin ee* la advertised
for sale in an English newspaper In
tome whioh are hardly suoh aa to en-
ooursge any on* to become n permanent
resident of the looallty. After stating
that he is rttiring from business alto
gether the advertiser praises the town
thus: "Sanitary arrangements mnoh
negleoled; mortality from favors exces
sively high; total death rate 10.7 higher
than any town within radius of fifty
miles; one trade oompetitor (carpenter)
only. Excellent opening for enetgetio
man willing to pot hie heart Into the
boelneaa."
Chances seem to favor republican sue-
ceea In Illinois, though Chicago may be
able to come to democracy's rescue. It
Is oonoeded that Illinois, ontside of the
Windy Oity and Oook county, will give
handsome republican majorities, and it
remains to bo seen whether the heavy
democratic phalanxes in Chicago will
be strong enough to overcome this ad
vantage and give the state to Bryan.
In view of the fact that the republi
can vioe presidential candidate gets
straok on the head nearly every day in
the week by big stones thrown by
‘■Bryan sympathizers,” it is not surpris
ing that he is a bit flighty at times.
The faot that the stones are largely
imaginary is a matter of small moment.

If wa believe aU that tha Atlanta

question has at last bssn d(finitely set
tled. That l*ag-f*lt want, a deosnt
passenger depot, is to b* built—not hr
Atlanta or tbs railroads, mind yon, hat
by ths state of Georgia.
Aooording to tha plan whioh ha* been
finally agreed upon by Atlanta and the
railroads, lbs whola job haa been turned
over to the stats, and tba legislator*
will b* asked to authorise the governor
to devote “the reserve fond of Georgia"
to the enterprise. It Is estimated that
the new structure will oott $500,000,
and It is understood that tbs railroads
will pay the itate 6 percent. Interest an
nually on thla sum for a term of fifteen
yean. Then what? Will somebody
please tell ns?
It remains to be seen whether the leg
islature oan be penoaded to sauotlon
this scheme for Atlanta to get a new
depot. The neoessary legislation to
carry it through wonld, it appears to us,
jar the constitution of 1877, which effect

Hon. James M. Griggs, is and

Judge Griggs, of the Second district,

most popular campaigners on the stomp.
Chairman Baolsbory, ofthe Delaware
oommittee, telle me tonight that the

ordered the judge to go to New York
next week, but that he, Sanlabnry, bad
■uoceeded in bringing abont a ohange

Griggs was doing snoh effective work
that he oould not be spared. Accord

The Savannah News says: "The
presentation of a loving onp to Llent.
Hobson at Montgomery was a pleasant
inoident. Hobson deserved the testi
monial. The Incident, by the way, re
calls that the national government has
not yet done anything in recognition of
Robson's remarkable heroism In connec
tion with the sinking of th* Herrimao at
the entrance to Santiago harbor. That
deed was one of the most brilliant in
the annals of the American navy. It is
no excuse for ths remarkable inaotton
on the part of the Navy Department in
thematterof rewarding Hobson to say
that he oondnotsd himself in a rather
silly manner upon his return to the
Doited States. The stories of his kiss
ing exploits, it is-aafe to say, were ex
aggerated by the sensational press.
Still, if every story told of them were
true, the faot wonld not detraot In the
least from the heroism displayed by
him in the Merrimae event. Sinoe the
exoohtlre authorities in Washington
atom loth to do justice to Hobson, Con-
gross might take ths matter np and eee
to It that the young man gets hts just
deserts."

THE TRUTH ABOUT COTTOff.
Editor Perham, of the Waycroes Her
ald, gets It down right in the following:
The oredit for ten cent ootton is olaim- d
In several quarters.
It belougs to no newspaper, no corpo
ration, no statesman, no individual.
Ootton went to ten cents this year
simply beoause consumption is catching
op with production.
This result was caused by a greater
demand and a smaller orop.
Undoubtedly, the rise of the ootton
mill industry in the Sonth is a strong
faotor In bringing abont the present
status, bat planters most take oare not
to orowd the market.
Home food supplies, sod ootton as a
surplus oash orop, will be the winning
policy, and the Georgia Cotton Growers
Asanoia'lon is doing a great work in
firmly planting this idea in the minds of
the people.
We oan easily keep oOttou at 10 cents,
and probably higher, by not producing
and rushing to market a supply greater
than the demand.
This is the whole thing In a nutshell.
The supply of Amerioan heiresses
who are willing to beoome the brides of
foreign noblemen whose exchequers
have beoome depleted le not yet ex-
haoeted, and weddings on the Uould-
