After next October the tax
collectors will have to make
monthly reports of the amounts
collected by them, distinguish

the state and that due the

The small pox seems to be
dying out in Birmingham. The
excitement had about suspend
ed business at the iron mills,
but since everybody has been
vaccinated the disease is being
gradually stamped out.
The Emperor of Prussia is on
a visit to the Czar of Russia.
It is not reported what the con
versation between these two
sovereigns was but it may be
presumed that it. was something
like the interview between the
Governors of North and South
Carolina.
The long litigation over the
failure of the Eagle and I’lnen
ix mills of Columbus is about
t<> be brought to a close. Spe
cial Master Rosser has filed his

Judge J. S. Bigby. the former
president of the company, is in

A Georgia negro, it is report
ed, has made #550,000 in the

life. He says his name is St

If the doctors continue
their investigations into the

Franklin Askew, an old man
70 years of age, who now lives

lived nearClarkston, was lodged
in jail in Atlanta in default of
a #SOO bond for violating the
postal laws. He is charged
with having forged the name of
Frank Anderson to two post of
fice orders for #lO each.
A GREAT WHEAT CROP.
It is estimated that the wheat
crop of the Tinted States this
year will reach 580,000,000
bushels, u figure never before
reached except in 1891. The
short crop in Europe will cause
it to bring a good price. It u
believed that we can ship to
foreign countries two hundred
million bushels and still have
enough to supply our local de
mand.
With an abundance of meat
and bread in sight, if we cun
get a good price for our cotton
we will have prosperity, despite
the tariff and the gold bugs.
THE FLANAGAN CASE.
The Flanagan case is still the
bone of contention in DeKalb.
A motion for new trial waa made
and among the grounds was
that one of the jurors was not
impartial, as he had suul before
the trial that the accused ought
to be hanged. At least this
was the allidavit produced by
Col. Glenn. Hut now it seems
that there,wus some manipula
tion of the allidavits for the
witnesses come forward and de
ny that they made the allidavits
as they stand. They claim
that they were deceived and
that there have been intorlina
tions in them since they were
signed. »
UNIFORMITY OF SCHOOL
BOOKS.
Our readers will bear in mind
that for years The Herald has
advocated a uniform system of
school books for the State, and
a reduction in prices of the or
dinary hooks used in our com
mon schools.
The teachers have not agreed
with us as to the question of
uniformity; why, we have never
been able to understand. It
seems to us that it would he
much better for the teachers to
have the same books, no matter
in what school they may teach.
But the point we have made
and insisted on was one of econ
omy to the people. Very few
people who have not taken the
pains to make a calculation
have any idea of the large sum
of money that annually is taxed
from the people of all classes to
provide suitable books for their
children.
It may look like a small mat
ter, but the old Scotch maxim
“many mickles makes a muck
le” is pregnant with truth.
Take for instance Gwinnett
county, with her 0,000 children.
Now, a difference in price of
only two dollars a year will
aggregate the sum of #12,000;
multiply that by the number
of counties and we have the ag
gregate of the expense to the
people of this State for a slight
change in hooks.
This-is a heavy tax, especially
upon the poor, and it is a not
able fact that “the poor we
have always with us,” and that
poor people have more children
than rich ones.
We are glad to see that the
Governor has taken this matter
up, and will press it before the
Legislature at the next session.
He is gathering facts and sta
tics that will astonish the coun
try in reference to this matter.
He says he has asked the
Legislature to devise some
method of reducing this ex
pense, and that if they cannot
do so that lie will advocate the
State publishing her own hooks.
If the 8 volumes of tho code,
with 1,500,0CM> words, can lie
printed and bound in leather
for #4.00, it would seem that
these little paper-backed books
used in the school room could
lie printed for a sum much less
than the people have to pay lor
them.
THE FIELD OK HONOR.
While dueling lias been ef
fectively suppressed in this
country by tho rigid laws
against it and the strong tide
of public sentiment, it is still
u favorite method of settling
disputes among army officers
and tho nobility in Germany,
France and Italy.
Last Sunday morning tbs
Count of Turin, an Itulisn of
ficer, and Prince Henri of Or
leans, a French nobleman,
fought a duel w ith short sworda
near Paris.
Neither party was killed, but
both were wounded. Prince
Henri received tlm most serious
wounds, and the doctors said
that, he was then inferior to his
adversary and the fight must
stop. Tile combatants then
shook liahdi and separated.
A HORRIBLE DEATH.
Win. Coombs of Atlanta, an
employee of the W. & A., Rail
road, met a horrible death last
Sunday. He was running ahead
of the engine in order to couple
it to some cars iu front, when
his foot caught between two
rails. He tried to extricate it
but failed, ami the jtouderous
engine came rolling on. When
lie saw that he could not get
his foot loose he frantically
called to the engineer to stop
the engine. The engine was
promptly reversed, but it was
too close to stop it in time to
save the breakman’s life. Slow
ly it moved upon him, and he
stood there waiting to be crush
ed to death. It was an awful
moment of susi>eiisc. Both legs
were cut off, and he died in a
short time.
WHERE DOES THE MONEY
GO?
That is what Hope Brc wn, of
the R'.ate Agricultural Society,
wants to know.
About ABO,OOO is annually ex
pendud on what is known as the
Agricultural Department of the
State I'uiversity, and a com
mittee lias been to Athens to
investigate. Their report is
that it is a slntme and disgrace
to the State. He says that Dr.
Hunnicutt is paid per
annum to teach two pupils how
to lose money farming,
ANOTHER MOB. I
A Fayette county mob was*
prepared last Saturday night to
attack the jail at Jonesboro and
take McCullough, who is
charged with the murder of his
wife, and Honry Sims, charged
with rape, from the jail and
hang them.
The sheriff was informed by
reliable citizens of this intend
ed raid and at 9 o’clock that
night he took the two prisoners
and drove with them to Atlanta
and lodged them in jail there.
He was nfraid to risk Ae rail
road trains and went quietly
about the removal.
NO STATE FAIR.
It has been definitely settled
that there will be no State fair
held this year. It was decided
by the Agricultural Society
that there was not sufficient
time now to get ready for the
fair at the time it was to be
held. In fact it was not deemed
.good policy to attempt to hold
a fair this year, and it has been
agreed that it will be postponed
until next year. Tho people
are not ripe for a fair this fall
and after fully canvassing the
matter it has been decided that
it would be best to postpone it.
STRANGE DA*MAGE SUIT.
A novel damage suit has been
instituted in Augusta. Mrs.
Ward, of Columbia county, has
sued the Mfdical College ol
Georgia for #25,000 damages.
The grounds on which the suit
is founded aie that her husband
J, It. Ward was a lunatic and
had been started to the asylum.
He got sick in Augusta and died
in the hospital and his body
was turned over to the Medical
College and dissected. His
widow claims that she was in
jured and damnged the afore
said sum of lawful money.
TEN MILLION IBALES.
It is estimated by cotton ex
perts that the cotton crop this
year will reach ten million bales
and of that number Texas is
credited with three million, or
nearly one third of the entire
yield.
The crop is so far advanced
now tliut unless some unusual
calamity conies, a pretty safe
estimate can be made. And it
is opening rapidly in the West
and lbs southern section of all
the cotton states.
NOT SETTLED.
It will lie remembered that
Mrs. Jester, of Atlanta, charged
Miss Dimon, the young daugh
ter of a Methodist preacher,
some time ago with having stol
en her jewelry. It was reported
that the matter had l>een settled
but this seems to be a mistake.
The old lady still says that she
did not charge the girl with
larceny but she doe* not know
what became of her jewelry.
The father of the girl says that
ahe must clear his daughter or
he will sue he for slander.
——
Potrolman Bankston, who
killed Charley Welch, has been
discharged ufter u long trial be
fore Justice Orr, ill Atlanta.
He held that the officer was jus
tifiable in shooting the de
ceased.
In order to get at the facts,
the body of the dead niun was
disinterred and physicians ex
amined the wounds to see
wbethel they were in his hack
or breast. Upon this the case
largely depended.
The rush to the gold Helds of
Alaska continues. The enthu
siastic gold hunters undergo
any amount of hardships and
danger to reach the El Dorado.
Thousands arecrowding there
expecting to get rich, and they
come from ull parts of the
world. That nine out of ten
will be sorely disappointed can
not lie doubted. There is not
gold enough for ull, and tie
cause a few men who liup|M'iicd
there when the mine was first
discovered have been successful
is no reason why all can get
rich.
DEATH OF SENATOR

Another candidate for Gov

at present a member of Con
gress.
Well, lets see: There are
Dußignon, Terrell, Berner, Can

that the election is over a yeiy

BOTH TO HANG.
Bud Brooks, and Grady Rey
nolds were convicted last week
of the murder of M, C. Hunt in
Jackson county.
The evidence of their guilt
was so conclusive that the juries
had no difficulty in arriving at
a verdict.
Roth were found guilty with
out recommendation, and Judge
Hutching sentenced them to be
hung on the 24th of September.
The Agricultural Society at
its recent meeting at Savannah
launched the candidacy of Pope
Brown, of Pulaski, for the Gov
orehip of Georgia.
Mr. Brown is president of the
Society and it seems has ambi
tion. He may now be regardtd
as a full fledged candidate for
for gubernatorial honors.
HORSE SWAPPERS CON
VENTION.
Thb first horse swappers con
vention ever known was held
last Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday at Winder. It is #hti
mated that three thousand peo
ple took part in this unique
convocation and it was an in
teresting occasion and one that
has attracted attention all over
tho state. The Atlanta papers
gent out special reporters who
took in the occasion and gave
graphic descriptions of the
whole affair.
Do 3 Corithers is the insti
gator of this unique convention
and was elected Secretary.
GeorgejCamp was elected presi
dent. Among many other in
teresting things written by M.
M. Folsom we make the follow
ing extracts:
Then there are several Texas
cowboys on the ground, sod one
prairie schooner w>th two horses
and a mule hitched on behind,
that came from old Missouri
and all the way from Pike.

bis two cronies, John Brown

and then he enlivens the scene
by crying out in a voice that
Las -cut a thrill through the

“Anybody want to fight ?”
Th*-n a smile overspreads the
face- of the two cronies who are
ready at the drop of a bat to
second the motion.
LOADED LOR POSSUMS.
Old man Tom Norris drove in
from Gum Swamp on the Appa-
Jachee river yesterday. He is
the most renowned postmen hun
ter in all these diggin*. This
marsupial Nimrod was a bold
sabreur under Colonel Wynn
during the war, and although
he ha- withered up until there
is hut little left of him except
a bunch of animated whiskers,
h is still full of tight.
He carries the same two big
Colt’s six shooters that he bore
through many a cavalry charge,
and, for all 1 know, rides the
same snorting steed that sup
ported him ami his arsenal dur
ing those trying times. He
wears the pistols buckled ’round
his waist at all times, whether
hejp-es to null or to meet tug.
“1 Lave keeried these hefe
weepins ever since the wall," he
•uni. as he fondled the handles,
“and 1 i x|«.ot tu kerry ’em tell
1 die. They’ll be berried with
me. ’ ’
“Have you ever hud occasion
to use them since the war?" I
asked.
“No—that is—mighty sel
dom. But in my heat there's
times when a feller wants a
weepin wush than one o' them
new debilities will ever want a
place to hide in."
Then there is Frank Fuller,
the smoothest swapper on the
turf, lb* is one of the boss
dogs of the houeyard. Give
him about four lingers iu aloug
quart bottle, and his pet expres
sion is:
‘T knows big wood sum hresh’
That is to say, that he knows
straight up and down gentle
men from a fellow of the com
mon herd, lie is ever ready for
a fight, frolic or a foot-race.
