ROAD CONGRESS CALLED Governor Smifh Invitea All Com cial and Agricultural Bodies. LEADING EXPERTS TO ATTEND Governor* of tha Southeastern States Have Been Asked to Send Competent Persons to Represent Their States. Atlanta, Ga. —Governor Smith has issued an official call for the South eastern road congress, which will be held in Atlanta on December 2d and 3d. In it he has impressed the import ance of the subject to be discussed and has invited federal, state, county and municiple bodies and commercial and agricultural organizations to send delegates. In addition to this, Governor Smith will write personal letters to the gov ernors of the southeastern states, ask ing that they have their states repre sented by competent persons at the congress. The official call, issued by Governor Smith follows: “Atlanta, Ga., November 7, (1908. “In view of the imperative necessi ty for the improvement of public roads, and at the request of a joint committee representing the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the county of Fulton and the city of Atlanta, I here by call a good roads congress to meet in Atlanta on December 2d and 3d, for the purpose of discussing the sub ject and taking appropriate action thereon. “All federal, state, county and mu nicipal bodies, boards of officers, and all commercial and agricultural or ganizations interested in the improve ment of the public roads are invited to send delegates and the co-opera tion of the governors and the county and municipal officers is asked to the end that their respective constituen cies may be represented by men qual ified to discuss this important sub ject. “HOKE SMITH, Governor.” MANY PARDONS GRANTED.

Methvin has just returned to the department of agriculture from a vifiit to Macon, where he condemned 12,500 bushels of mixed oats which were being sold as a stock feed, on the grounds that thq oats contained ingredients that were worthless and did not come up to the standard re quired under the pure food law of Georgia. These oats were put up in five bushel sacks and sold at from 62 1-2 cents to 75 cents a .bushel. The sacks did not show the worthless in gredients they contained. IMr. says the packages con tained mixtures of all kind3 of stuff, including what screenings, elevator cleanings, salvage oats and sour stuffs. Three carloads of oats he had shipped out of the state and would not allow to be sold at all. The rest he required to be plainly marked on the outside of the packages just what each package contained, so that the purchaser would not think he was get ting other than that which he did. It is just such seizures as these that are raising the value of feed stuffs in Georgia and making cotton seed meal and cotton seed hulls, recognized as the best feed stuff on the market, all the more appreciated. This last nam ed cattle feed is being more generally used now than ever, for it measures up more exactly to the requirements of the pure food law than any other food on the market. THROUGHOUT THE STATE. The prison commission has under consideration a proposition to have the state of Georgia take over a por tion of Sapelo Island, located in the Atlantic ocean off the Georgia coast, the island to be used as a farm for the safe keeping and employment of the surplus felony convicts the state may have on its hands at the expira tion of the present lease. The propo sition was made to the commission by T. H. Boone, a well known citizen of Macon, representing the Scottish- American Mortgage company of Ed inburgh, Scotland. Sapelo Island is situated about twelve miles from Da rien, and is under the jurisdiction o£ the state of Georgia and Mclntosh county, so there can be no question to the legality of the island .being used as a prison farm. The waterworks and school house bond issue of $30,000, recently voted by Decatur, was bought by Hillsman & Cos., of Atlanta. Tho issue brought d.03, which makes the amount receiv ed $30,900. The bonds are of the 5 per cent 30-year variety. One-half of the proceeds will be used in the con struction of anew school building and the balance for of the town’s waterworks system. A big charge of dynamite was set off under the little Mormon church near Montreal and the building was wrecked. No one was near the scene, as could be located, and so far no one can be found who knows any of the particulars. It is said many people heard the explosion, which caused quite a shock for two miles around. The members of the church yesterday found more than forty sticks of dyna mite unexploded scattered in the ruins. This church was formerly a school house and was recently pur chased and converted into a church, which had only last week been paint ed and fixed up nicely with chairs for seats. While it was known to .be quite objectionable to a great many people, it was not expected that any such crime as this would be the out come. Professor W. A. Ingram, who has been in charge of the school at Sylva nia for the year past, and had started in for another year, has resigned his position and left for Bienville, La., where he has accepted a position with the institute at that place. Thomas Stewart, who instantly killed Arthur Harris in Americus re cently, in a disturbance about a wom an, surrendered to Sheriff Bell and was immediately discharged upon pre liminary examination. Stewart bears an excellent reputation and readily proved self-defense in killing Harris. In an altercation at Danielsville Clifford Graham shot and instantly killed Charles Griffith. Both were men of prominent families ami having married daughters of John E. Gordon, a prom inent lawyer of Danielsville. From a recent report of the bales of cotton ginned and sold at Waynesboro for this season a shortage is shown. There have been about 17,000 bales shipped up to the present date, and a conservative calculation is that 23,000 bales will cover the entire crop for this year. A good crop year finds Waynesboro shipping 30,000 bales and upward, but owing to the unfavorable seasons this year Burke county can not boast of such a shipment. Dr. J. B. Teynolds, a prominent phy sician of Lumber City, died at his home there after an illness of a few weeks. Six of the Confederate veterans of Camp 1 at Statesboro have'received crosses of honor. Those receiving were J. Bowden, J. L. Smith, A. Wal ters, R. Scarboro, W. P. Donaldson. The Statesboro Chapter of the Daugh ters of the Confederacy held public exercises in the Statesboro institute, and the large auditorium was w r ell fill ed with spectators. D. W. VanArsdale, manager for the Hagan Gas Engine company at Ma con, committed suicide in his room at the hotel Arcadia in that city. Coroner T. E. Young held an inquest, and the finding resulted in a verdict to the effect that the man shot himself through despondency over continued ill-health and failure to make collec tions for his company as he desired. He had been in Macon a year, and was well known there. Incendiaries burned the extensive ginnery on the George Walters plan tation near Americus, entailing a property loss of several thousand dol lars. Eight bales of cotton, besides 4,000 bushels of cotton seed, belong ing to Charles Ausley were destroyed, together with the ginning machinery. Parties on the plantation declare they saw the incendiary apply the torch and disappear. There was no insur ance upon the property destroyed. The residence of Dr. James C. Bramblett at Ducktown, near Cum ming, was burned together with twen ty-seven bales of cotton, belonging to the Jones Mercatnile company. There was no insurance. The cause of the fire is unknown. J. P. Lewis of Atlanta won on the national election, but declines to col lect the bet, although the loser, J. T. Chase, urges acceptance. Mr. Lewis, who guessed that Taft would win, was to have a ride in a wheelbarrow from the Aragon hotel to the Fourth Na tional bank building. Mr. Chase was to push the barrow and its burden. How ever, Mr. Lewis declined to ride, al though Mr. Chase insisted on it. While ’possum hunting near West Point Dock Yates, a Lanett mill oper ative, fell from a tree, breaking his back. Death relieved his suffering. A wife and baby survive the unfortunate young man. RIVERSIDE CAFE OPEN DAY AND NIGHT.
