GEORGIA LEADING. |
Ahead of Other Southern States in Num- ‘
ber of Rurel Mail Routes. |
Washington, D. C.—ln a statement:
issued by the postoffice department it
is shown that on August 2, 1909,
there were in operation 40,919 rural
postal routes in the United States |
served by 40,804 carriers. ¢ I
While some of the Southern states |
were slow to recognize the advantages
oé rural‘del}very, this can not be said
‘tha%gzbhg“ betb?ifth*éar‘e 'we‘i’e’fif%%m s‘-‘l‘%?“
as half a dozen appllications for the
service presented from some of the
neighboring states, there were In
operation in Georgia several hundred
routes and petitions pending for as
many more, :
On August 1, 1909, there were in
operation in Georgia 1,594 rural routes
and there are penrding, unacted upon,
59 petitions for additional service.
Service has been organized on a
county basis in 32 counties and other
counties will be talken up for reorgan
ization as rapidly as conditions will
permit, The reason that so many
routes were put into operation in
Georgia and cther states was the tore
sight of the people in promptly pre
senting their petitions.
Rural carriers in Georgia ' travel
daily except Sunday and holidays
nearly 40,000 miles of highway and
serve about 630,000 rural residents.
Since the establishment of the first
route in the state extension® and
maintenance of the service in Georgia
it has cost the government about $6,
700,000, the present annual rate of cost
being a little more than $1,500,000.
NATIONAL GUARD IMPROVING.
Majcr Palmer Pays High Tribute to
the Georgia Enlisted Men.
Atlanta, Ga.—The report of Inspsc
tor General F, L. Palmer, U. 8. A.,
retired, &8s to the condition of the Na
ticnal .Guard of Georgia, declares that
there has been @ general and undoubt
ed improvement as compared with
cenditions last year, but peints out a
number of defects in the various mili
tary organizations of the state,
The criticism most stressed as
counting against efficient and well
disciplined military companiez is that
the- commissioned officers are too
often chosen for social and political
reascns, rather than for military skill
and abillty, i
However, the report notes improve
ment throughout the state and credits
it to the general interest and zeal of
the commissicned personnel taken as
a whole, and of the unfailing enthusi
asm, energy, intelligence and zeal of
the enlisted men. This ix’ovement.
coupled with the promise O¥Fstill great
er improvement for the coming vear,
gives every encouragement for the he
lief that the Nationol Guard will be a
thorough success through progessive
development along the present lines
and is so already to a very large and
gatisfactory degree,
Major Palmer declares that great
interest was shown in the inspection
by all concerned and every effort
made, generally speaking, to make the
inspection a creditable one.
State Capital News Notes
S. G. McLendon, chairman of the
railroad commission, states to his col
leagues on board he did not recog
nize the action of the former govern

that he still regarded himself as the

don takes the position that the ac

was null and void. It seems that he
will continue to act as chairman of
the commission until the courts pass

EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN
| et
Seismic Shock Fatal to Many.
’ 400 Houses Destroyed.
GREAT DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
It Is Known That Thirty Persons Have
| Been Killed and Nearly a Hun
dred lnjured..
Tokio, Japan.—Reports received
concerning the earthquake in Cen
tral Japan show that there were a
number of fatalities and that great
damage was done to property. The
dead at present is said to be 30,
though it is feared that the fatalities
will be greatly increased when the
outlying districts are heard from.,
The number of persons injured is 82.
Thus far 32 buildings, including many
temples, are reported to have been
destroyed and more than 1,000 others
badly damaged,
The shock affected a wide area in
the Shiga and Gifu prefectures. The
town of Ozaka in Gifu suffered terri
bly.
The banks of the Hida river there
broke and the surrounding country
was inundated.
The people of the district fled to
high ground and remained in the
open all night. !
The mountain Ibuki, a short dis
tance west of Gifu, emitted smoke
in the early stages of the earthquake
and then collapsed with a thunderous
roar, The formation of. the mountain
was completely changed. Much dam
age was done at Nagoya to the south
ward of Gifu and neighboring vil
lages.
WEEKLY COTTON CROP REPORT.
Marked Improvement is Shown in the
Far East. ;
Memphis, Tenn.—The weekly cot
ton crop summary of the Commercial-
Appeal says;
In practically all of the territory
east of the Mississippi river there
was a marked improvement in the
condition of the cotton erop. The
showers that fell were moderate and
beneficial. The plant is small, and
still late, but is growing nicely and
is well fruited for its size, Many
correspondents note that the pros
pective yield is better than was at
one time thought possible. o

and Oklahoma. There are sections
where no rain has fallen in five or
six weeks, and the plant is shedding,
but while this is true other sections
of these states. have had rain and
prospects are fair. *
Rains have retarded opening of the
bolls, and as the plant is growing
rapidly, picking will not become gen
eral for fully two weks yet.
Montgomery, - Ala.—Reports from
the cotton growing counties of Ala
bama indicate varying conditions of
the crop, but on the whole the past
week has brought improvement. The
extremely hot weather in some sec
tions has retarded the plant and near
ly all reports speak of its ‘“spotted”
condition. Insects have not appeared
and the fruiting season is well on.
It is not expected that the real move
ment of cotton will begin until the
middle of Sepember, ‘

sald that after. all lands have been

have, plenty of resources to take up

John Farson, Chicago millionaire
and clubman, tock up the cudgels in
defense of Secretary Ballinger of the
interfor depaftment. Mr. Farson
strongly attacked the statements. of
former Governor George A. Pardee of
California, concerning the secretary’s
activity in public land withdrawals.
- Dr. Pardee started the controversy
by questioning a statement by a
speaker. He again accused Secretary
allinger of permitting the opening
soy entry of valuable water power
sites.
This brought Mr. Farson to his
feet, asking Dr, Pardee if he meant
to insinuate that the secretary was
dishonest. With Dr, Pardee’s reply
that he meant no such accusation the
incident was dropped.

Evelyn Nesbit Thaw declared that
there was no truth in the story that
she would bring suit for $500,000

or against any member of the Thaw
family, She said, however, that her
usual m&Mthly remittance of S4BO
