Atlanta, Aug. 3.— Following: close upon the indictment of Whipping Boss A J. , Tnrolinsen. of the Sugar Hill convict j camp for the homicide of George Banks- i ton, come?-a rec inm*ndation of the grand i Jury of Bartow county that the misde meanor camp at Sugar Hill, which is un der the same management, be. abolished, unless abuses, said to exist are remedied. In the presentmen s made at Carters- Ville this afternoon, the grand jury said In reference to the misdrrneanor camp: "We find the rules and regulations are not being complied with They provide that one round cf fresh meat must he given to each convict twice a wwk. Our information is that they have never bpen furnished with a single pound of fresh meat since the cimp was rs ablished. We deem it proper to say they have been fur nished with of other foods "We are advised that the for- man. John Brown, in charge, of this camp, abuses j nod curses the convicts and calls them by names forbidden by the rules. Want It Ahnlfftlted. "We recommend that the Board of Commission* rs of Roads and Revenues aboli.h the camp unless the e abuses are corrected." Referring to the death of Banks on the grand Jury said: ">ln one case the ponishnvn* infliotel by Warden Tomlinson on a convict. George Bankston, was unreasonable. The records show this man was given during the last week in March of his y* ar. thr e whippings, first twelve lashes by Warden Tomlinson, th n fifteen lashes by Assist ant Warden Blevins, and afterwards sixty lashes by Warden Tomlinson, and that very shortly aft* r this last whipping he died. “This convict F ankstr n had bfen con fined in jail for some length of time be fore reaching the camp which, in the opinion of the physician in charge, ren dered him wholly unfit for anything ap proaching hard labor until his muscles were hardened and his system toned up to convict life; yet in about two weeks after reaching the camp he was a corpse al hough he had not at any time previous to his death been reported sick. W lint Tout 11 ii non Nay*. Mr. Tomlinson, the whipping boss, is said to stand well in his section. He was postmaster at Cedartown under Cleve land. He makes the following statement in reply to the charges: “Bankston refused to work. The state physician, resident at the camp, was called in, examined Bankston and pro nounced him well and able to work. I then whipped Bankston, giving him seven light blows with a leather strap. “A day or two after, still refusing to work, he was again examined by the phy sician, pronounced able <o work, and I gave him twenty-five or thirty blows with the strap. A day or two after this second whipping he was again examined by the doctor and by him reported able for duty end sent out to work. Bankston still re fusing to work I gave him sixty blows with the strap. He was sent out next morning by the doctor as able for duty, but stiFl refusing to work, I refused to whip him any more and sent him back Into camp. The third day after this he died. “Several respectable and worthy citi zens of this county were present at each one of the whippings received by Banks ton and they will testify that neither of the whippings were severe.“ MEMORIAL TO C%TT. DAVIS. Atlanta Friend* Have Started the Movement for It. Atlanta, Aug. 3.—Friends of Captain Austin Davis, the marine, officer who was klled in battle in far-away China, have started a movement to honor his memory by placing a statue or oil painting in the new Carnegie Library, which will be erected on the lot where the young officer was born, at the corner of Forsyth and Church streets. Mr. Roby Robinson, who was a class mate of Captain Davis at Annapolis, is at the head of the movement. He will receive subscriptions to the fund and will direct the purchase of the memorial. The movement will appeal to patriotic •entlment and a fund sufficient for the purpose will, no doubt, he raised at once. Citizens of Savannah, where Captain Davis lived for several years, will be in vited to participate in the movement. WATER FOR PR I HON FARM. Plant Will Re Put In to Farnih All Tlinl In Needed. Atlanta, Aug. 3—The members of the prison commission have gone to Milledge ville. accompanied by Engineer Hall, for the purpose of beginning the cons ructlcn of a system cf waterworks at the state prison farm, which is entirely without fire protection. Til* commission has had the matter under consideration for some time. The water supply can be secured from two eprirgs loca ed within a mile of the farm. The water is to be carried through a two inch pipe, and the power is to h fur nished by a six-horse power engine. The work of putting in the p ant will occupy several months and will costt the state about $3,000. It Is believed that the insur ance ra e on the buildings will be reduced when the plant Is finished. SIU-LEASK OF CONVICTS. Right nf a L<*****• Hiilncil In n Suit Before .Indue Candler. Atlanta. Aug. 3. -The right of a lessee of state convicts to sub-lease his men wis raised in a Fuit for Newton county, be fore Judge Candler to-day. J. M. Smith of Oglethorpe county had sub-leased fifty convicts to Bagley & Speer oi -scwion county. The firm used the vonclst and had given a $5,000 bond for good treatment and the payment of the hire. They failed to pay ihe hire, and suit was brought on the bond. A demurrer was filed in behalf of the bondsmen that the bond was invalid because It was not legal to sublet convicts. Judge Candler overruled the demurrer, saying he would hear the evidence in the case before pass ing upon it finally. CHATHAM GIVE* MORE TIME. Increase* In County Return* Recent ly Made.

UfccdA SaUat)a\i(h ■ LSI POLITICAL BALL STARTED. nnrliecne nf Colquitt at Which Sev eral Speeches Were Made. Colquitt, Ga., Aug. 3.—A barbecue and political speaking has been in progress here to-day. State School Commissioner Glenn de livered an excellent speech on the subject of “Education.” James M. Griggs. Congressman, of Daw son and Gov. A D. Candler were also ex pected to address the vast assemblage, but owing to illness both these distinguished gentlemen were absent. Hon. John E. Donaldson of Balnbrldge was caleld upon and delivered a very for cible address of about two hours’ duration, touching upon and fully explaining in his eloquent manner all the national political issues of the day. The greatest crowd ever seen in this small town was here to-day. County pol itics are also warming up. there being In the field several candidates for the many offices. No primary was held In this county, as all will be nettled in the gen eral election.

Nevertheless the speeches delivered were of unusual force and logic, and the day passed quietly and all were happy. COO*AW PHOSPHATE ROCK. Hnnil-plrkcrn Who Dive Into the River for the Rook. Beaufort, S. 0., Aug. 3.—For twenty years Coosaw river, near here, has been constantly yielding to industry from its wealth of phosphate rock, and the sup ply is yet practically inexhaustible. A dozen or more steam dredges and wash boats, belonging to the various phos phate plants in this vicinity, are contln ally at work, while a large number of negro hand-pickers, who. in the warnr\ season dive from small flats for the rock, are employed by smaller concerns. It is extremely interesting to the un initiated to visU the hand-pickers. Usu ally there is what is designated a house boat, where a white overseer lives, whose duty It Is to measure the phosphate rock as It Is loaded on lighters from 80 to 100 tons capacity, from small flats which dot the riveiwas far as the observer can see. At about noon on Saturdays the darkies are paid off, and the more indus trious ones earn good money. Asa. rule these hand-pickers are expert swimmers, and often remain under the water for an amazingly long time, coming to the sur face at last with chunks of phosphate rock equal to their own weight, obtained in from fifteen to twenty feet of water. AtCItTA 1H STIRRED CP. Will Take Action to Have Old In surance Rate* Restored. Augusta, Aug. 3.—Growing out of the Increased rates of insurance, established in Augusta by the Southeastern Tariff Association, a conference was held this afternoon between the local Insurance men and the Finance and Fire Engine Committees of Council.

The recommendations of the chief cover the enlargement of the wnier mains and the extension of the mains on various streets, and the addition of another fire company equipped with a chemical en gine, hose carriage and scaling ladders. The recommendations were referred by the Council Committee to the commission er of public works, to prepare an esti mate of cost involved in carrying them out. and submit It to the regular meet ing of Council on Monday next. The community is stirred up over the incitase of 15 per cent, in insurance rntea, ord any reasonable expenditure will be undertaken to relieve it. STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

Interesting Proceeding* Daring Closing S***ln*—CiiNlfft*n tlon of Peche* and Other Frail*—Elec tion of Officers—Next Meeting nf Mllledgcvtlle Presentation to President Hcrckninn*. Dublin. Ga., Aug. 3.—Wednesday nlght’e session of the Horticultural Society was devoted to the fruit catalogue. Prof. Scott read it? different columns, and the society discussed and classed the sections of the Ftate according to their producing capacity. The toble of peaches came first for consideration, but was left unchanged. Mr. J. G. Matthews reported that the Carmen had been cultivated into a splen did fruit, and it wag given two stars, stars being the insignia of rank, three being the best, Hvo next, etc. The Sneed came near losing one of its two stars, but was saved by Mr. D. O. Green * strong words of commendation. The Early Belle was a new' variety presented by Mr. R. G. Snow of Fort Valley. This peach was cultivated from the Standard Belle, and hears ten days earlier. Mr. A. W. Smith of Amerlcus, presented the Ever-bearing, and it was given two stars. Mr. La. A. Berckmans presented the Greensboro, and It was given one star in the middle section. The Belle of Georgia and Admiral Dewey were placed upon the table with a star each. Blood plums Nos. 3 and 4 were stricken from the table. This plum blooms too early for commercial use, a crop rarely ever being made. The programme for Thursday morning consisted of addresses and essays upon garden topics. Prof. Keiffer of the Uni versity of Tennessee was presented first. Prof. Keiffer referred to the tillage of the soli as a very important factor. In the West, he said, orchards containing sev eral hunched acres are found to be free from grass and weeds. Baltimore n Better Market. Maj. G. M. Ryals of Savannah said those peaches shipped by him brought twice as much in Baltimore as in New York. He could only account for the difference by the neglect of the railroads in keeping the cars Iced. Prof. Stookbridge informed the society of the extensive experiments made by the Southern Pacific Railroad in building spe cial cars and filling them with carbonic acid gas. This was found to prevent and stop the decomposition of fruit. Prof. M. B. Waite, of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture said that the peach grower must bf a skilled man, in fact he must be a biologist, an entomologist, a pomologist, a keen business man and in many cases a politician. One of the main things, said Prof. Waite, is to eelect good trees, which Is as difficult as it is important. Prof. Waite dwelt at length upon the fertilization of the soil for peach trees. One of the best commercial fer tilizers. said he, is 10 per cent, potash, 8 per cent, phosphoric acid, and 4 per cent, ammonia. The matter of pruning came in for a share of the professor’s attention, he using a blackboard to illustrate his talk. Following the talk of Prof. Waite, the committee appointed at the last session of the society upon freight rates and re frigeration made a report. This report was warm in the extreme, severely citicis ing the railroads of the South for refusing to grant concessions to the fruit growers, and especialy for lack of courtesy to the committee. The a/ternon session opened with a pa per upon peach culture in the South by Prof. la. A. Snow. Prof. Stockbridge fol lowed Mr. Snow with an admirable dis cussion of soil moisture and plant growth. Eininlnntion Committee*. The report of the examination commit tees was here called for, and was as fol lows: Peach, Pear and Plum—Experiment station. 33 varieties of Chlckesaw and American plums, of w hich none show par ticular merit. This exhibit shows how many worthless varieties are disseminat ed by nurseries for revenue only. This ex jxriment also shows the great value of the station's work in finding out and ex hibiting the character of these new va rieties. The station exhibits six varieties of apples, and e ght varieties of peaches. The R. E. Lee peach* s do not appear to have their characteristic color. Henry Banks of La Grange exhibits three plates of Elberta peaches and three of Uorput’s Early. The P. J.

Hightower of Dublin, twelve plates of Elbertaa of unusual fine size, color and general appearance. The general excel lence of these peaches make the ques tion of soil upon which they were grown and the method of their cultivation of much interest. L. H. Snow. Indian Spring, twelve varieties of pecans. Spe cial mention was given the pecans named Senator. Georgia, Grant, Atlanta and Stevenson. Grape* anil Vegetable*. The report on crapes and vegetables Is not of especial in'erest. On grapes the Georgia Experiment Station was given es pecial mention on the following varieties: American, Bailey, Brilliant. Carman. Malaga and several others. The P. J. Berckmans Company received especial mention on several; likewise J. A. Camp of Moreland. Mr. L. A. Berckmans introduced a reso lution calling upon the Legislature to double the appropriation for the work of the state entomologist. A resolution was Introduced, thanking . the people of Dublin and Col. J. M. Stubbs and Mr. J. M. Finn, especially, for courtesies extended to the society.
