Atlanta, April 28.—As a result of
the Inspection of the Georgia State
Troops, which has been in progress for
the last four months, and which will
be concluded with the Inspection of the
Wayne County Cavalry Troop to-mor
row, ten of the Georgia companies
have been put on probation and four
have been disbanded altogether. The
ten companies on probation are Com
pany C, First Regiment, Infantry.
Swainsboro: Company F. also of the
First, Waycross Rllles; Company E of
the Second Infantry, Hawkinsvllle;
Company E of the Third, Milledgeville;
Company A of the Fourth, Cuthbert;
Company I of the Fourth, Bainbridge;
Company G of the Fifth, Newnan;
Company I of the Fourth, Rome; Com
pany E of the First Cavalry, Liberty
Guards, and the Chatham Artillery of
Savannah.
These companies were given from
thirty to sixty days to bring up their
condition to the standard required.
They will then be inspected again by
Col. W. G. Obear, inspector general of
state troops, and if they fail to make
the required showing, it is likely that
they will be ordered disbanded unless
some good reason is shown why they
should be given more time.
The four companies which have been
disbanded and required to return tljeir
firms and equipment to the state are
Company E. Third Infantry, Greens
boro; Company B, Third Infantry;
Irish Volunteers, Augusta; Company
C, First Battalion, Colored, Savannah,
and the Georgia Artillery, colored, Sa
vannah.
While to-morrow will complete the
inspection so far as the work of MaJ.
F. H. French, of the Sixteenth United
States Infantry, is concerned, there is
still much ahead for Inspector General
Obear. MaJ. French will make his re
port to the War Department and that
document will be awaited with a great
deal of interest.
Col. Obear still has ahead of him the
inspection, or rather the re-inspection,
ol the ten companies which failed to
pass and which were put on probation.
In addition to this, he will have the in
spection of the dozen military schools
of the state, each of which has state
property.
*2,000 Salt Ilerau.e of ■ Joke.
George W. Allen, formerly a passen
ger agent with the West Point route,
to-day filed suit for $2,000 damages
against the Clye Steamship Line, all
on account of what is said to have
been a practical Joke. Allen says F.
B. Teahout, Southern representative of
the Clyde Line, bought a desk, fixed
him up an office, and had an announce
ment made in the newspapers that Mr.
Allen had been employed as traveling
freight agent for the Clyde Line. The
next day, when Allen went to the of
fice for his job, he was told it was all
a joke. Because of the Joke, which he
says Interfered with his chances of
geting a position, he wants the com
pany to pay him $2,000.
Roads fat Down Returns.
Controller General W. A. Wright to
day rejected the tax returns of three
railroad companies. The Atlantic and
Birmingham, which absorbed the Tif
ton and Northeastern and Tlfton,
Thomasvllle and Gulf since the last
returns were made, returned its total
franchises at $125,000. as against $248,-
000 last year. An increase was made in
the physical property, however, on ac
count of new rolling stock. Controller
General Wright has demanded of Pres
ident Wadley that the franchise re
turns be increased to the amount giv
en in last year as the result of arbi
tration.
The Brunswick and Birmingham de
creased its franchise return from $30,-
000 to SIB,OOO. and the Wrlghtsville and
Tenniile knocked $35,000 off its physi
cal property returns.
The controller general has demanded
that both of the returns be restored to
what they were last year. On account
of increased earnings, he says, the re
turns this year should be even larger
than they were in 1903.

Want to Continue Work.
The Tennessee Copper Company, of
Ducktown. Tenn., wants to continue
It work with the present process of
roasting copper gnd sulphur ore Is the
open air until it can install new ma
chinery. in spite of the agreement that
it would discontinue this process when
the Ruit brought by Georgia was dis
missed in the United States Supreme
Court. It is said a petition, signed by
1,000 Georgians who have been thrown
out of employment, will be sent to
Gov. Terrell, asking this permission.
The mines were made to stop the open
air roasting because it was destroy
ing vegetation in several North Geor
gia counties.
Peonage Cases Demoralising Negro
laborers.
Athens. Gn.. April 28.—The people of
Athens and the surrounding country
have been very much interested in the
outcome of the five peonage cases that
were to have come to the attention of
the grand Jury j n the Federal Court
here this week.
The farmers of this section are com
plaining at the way in which some of
them are being hauled up for peonage.
They say it is demoralising labor, and
that the negroes are gening It into
their heads that they can, with im
punity, jump contracts.
Severul years since Judge Newman
decided In a similar case that the
United States courts had no Jurisdic
tion, but in these cases he thought it
best to wait and see just what the
final Court of Appeals in this country
had to say about the law in the cases.

Had Few Criminal I axes and Ad
journed After Short Session.
Statesboro, Ga., April 28.—-Jerry
Lane, a negro charged with the mur- !
der of Rachael Moye near Miller, some
time last year, was tried and convicted
in the Bulloch Superior Court yester- I
day, and sentenced to life imprison
ment.
The grand jury has adjourned, after
the shortest term held in about ten
years. There appears to be almost a
complete cessation of crime in Bulloch
as far as the public is informed, and
very few true bills were returned.
In accordance with the good roads
movement in the South, the grand jury
recommended that this county return
to what is known as the "new road
law,” which is in operation in many of
the counties of the state. It was once
In force here, but dropped a few years
ago. Now the people take it as a fav
orable sign that this recommendation
hits been passed.
The visiting attorneys attending
court were Messrs. T. M. Cunningham,
Jr., and G. B. Whatley of Savannah; J.
P. Moore of Claxton, Alfred Herring
ton of 9wainesboro. J. K. Hines of
Atlanta, G. E. Bargeson of Stillmore,
and J. Holland. Esq., of Millen.
