There are five counties fall prohi¬ bition) in this State that are not represented in the penitentiary. They are Murray, Towns, Johnson, Catoosa, and Colqui t. Only twice since the war has Indi¬ ana gone democratic at a national election, and on both of the tickets was the name of Hendricks, the ablest democrat the state ever had.

Dubignon of Chatham, Hon. C. B. Wooton of Calhoun and Hon. J. M. Dupree, of Macon. The Georgia School of Technol¬ ogy is the only technological school which is purely a state institution. The school has at present about one hundred and ten students. Geor¬ gians will do well to encourage this noble effort for industrial education.

Benjamin Hutchinson, “Old Hntch” as he is often called, the great Chicago wheat king, once worked in a country store at $ 20,00 per yenr, and could not read writ ing. He is now worth his millions and was the direct cause of the re¬ cent rise in flour. His profits in his last jwheat deal is variously es¬ timated from three to four and one half million dollors, a large part of which will come from the cotton belt of our country where people do not raise there own wheat.
