| Still Greater Prosperity I

By Secretary of the Treasury Cortetyou.
■ —i n.| XJR people continue prosperous. We, of course, have our oc-
Ocasional set-backs, and quite recently we have had some
rather sharp reminders that wrongdoing and improvidence
and inflation have an inevitable result —disaster in greater
• or less degree. The readjustment of values in certain lines
Hof trade, whether of securities or other holdings, will prove
a blessing if restricted within reasonable bounds, but it
must be understood that the American people are alive to
their rights and privileges, and, however much opinions
ha, differ as to policies and methods In securing honest government, clean
Politics, and straightforward business, this much Is certain—-the people wiij

Tvhose career points in a hostile direction. While there are some disquieting
features in the business world, the outlook is growing steadily brighter, and
If we but keep our heads and approach our state and national problems with
courage and common sense, we shall have in the future a prosperity, not only
Material, but moral, greater even than that which has made memorable our

S. A. L. to Discontinue Trains.
Permission has been 'secured by the
Seaboard Air Line railroad from the
railroad commission of Georgia to dis
continue several of its trains between
Atlanta and Athens, and the road pro
poses to make these changes effective
on Sunday, January 5.
This is the second of the elimina
tions allowed, the first being on the
Macon and Birmingham railroad when
a •’tri-weekly” service was substituted
for a daily service for one train.
The citizens of Athens are up in
arms over the proposed change.

The headquarters of the Farmers’

Since the headquarters have been in
Barnesville the organization has en
joyed a wonderful growth so that it
now numbers nearly one hundred
thousand members in this state.
J. T. McDaniel will be in charge of
the office of secretary-treasurer, suc
ceeding J. L. Barron, who assumes
the management of the Union Phos
phate company, recently organized by
the members of the Farmers’ Union

New Trial Denied Johnson.
A motion for anew trial in the case
of Andrew Johnson, the negro con
victed and sentenced to be hanged iii
Atlanta for the murder of Officer J. A.
Mannr, was denied by Judge Roan
of the criminal division of the Fulton
superior court Saturday morning.
Judge W. R. Hammond, counsel for
Johnson, stated that he would Carry
the case to the state supreme court,
and a stay of execution will be se
cured.
Judge Hammond based his motion
for anew trial upon certain exceptions
which he took to Judge Roan’s charge
to (he jury and upon the ground that
the verdict of the jury was nctf jus
tified by the evidence.
Judge Roan held that the verdict of
the jury was in accordance with the
evidence and overruled the objections
made by Judge Hammond to his
charge.
Johnson was sentenced t© hang on
TRENTON, GA, FRIDAY. JANUARY 3, 1908.
January 3, hut his execution is post
poned until the higher court takes ac
tion in the case.

Fertilizer Tags Ready.
All ararngements have been perfect
ed by Captain J. F. Johnson, chief
clerk in the fertilizer office in the
department of agriculture at the state
capital, for the sale of fertilizer tags
which will begin at once. In antici
pation of this rush, Commissioner Hud
son has bought eight million tags,which
have arrived and are stored in the
capital.
These tags are placed ten to a tun of
fertilizer and twenty to a ton of cot
ton seed meal, the price of the first
being one cent.each, and of the latter
one-half cent. The reason for the dif
ference is that fertilizer is sacked ten
scks to the ton, and cotton seed meal
at twenty sacks to the ton.
The department finds that the sales
of cotton seed meal are increasing an
nually, as the farmers are finding this
to be a most desirable fertilizer, in ad
dition to its well known feeding value.
It is fro mthe sale of all these tags
that the district agricultural schools of
the state are supported, and the pro
ceeds derived this year will in all prob
ability be greater than ever, for the
indications are that the farmers will
plant less cotton and fertilize more
heavily. The sale rif these tags is
heaviest during the months of January,
February and March.

Checks Were Held Too Long.
A question which will, doubtless,
have to be determined by the attorney
general, at an early date, will be that
of .checks sent out to pay the state
school teachers, drawn on the now de
funct Neal bank at Atlanta, a state
depository, and which were not pre
sented for collection in time to be
paid.
Two checks were received at the
■state treasury a few days ago, which
were returned, as made out to a coun
ty school commissioner with which he
was to pay off the school teachers.
One of these checks was dated Sep
tember and the other November. It
be a question to be determined
! whether these checks were held out
I too long and the county school com
missioner shall wait until the affairs
of the bank are liquidated and then
'get bis money; or whether he will not
| be paid until his money is received in
hand and the state treasurer is to
send him another check.
The sum totalled by these two
checks was a little over S6OO, but
brings up a point which will have to be
settled before still others may come
in. ...

Charges Against Prison Wardens.
Investigations now being made by
the Georgia senate committee on peni
tentiaries, headed by Senator J. W.
Brock, and the state prison commis
sion, headed by Chairman J. S. Tur
ner, bid fair to bring revelations of a
sensational nature.
Information has been filed with the
investigators to the effect that State
Warden Jake C. Moore and a number
of the convict camp wardens are guil
ty of having received various sums of
money from the lessees of convicts.
Soon after investigations were be
gun Warden Moore tendered his res
ignation, which the prison board will
accept at its meeting in January. Be
fore handing in his resignation the
warden admitted, it is said, that he
assisted certain lessees to sub let por
tions of their allotment of convicts
at desirable rentals. The warden ex
plained that he had not intentionally
violated the rules of the commission,
but that he had been asked by some
of the lessees to aid them in placing
portions of their allotments, and 1 had
done so purely as a matter of accom
modation.
The alleged practices are said to
have prevailed for years, and it is
declared that many of the officials
have waxed rich upon their incomes.
The money paid the camp wardens is
said to have been for favors and con
siderations shown the lessees in the
matter o£.Jiandling the convicts.

Will Call Special Session of
Nevada Legislature.
TAKES ADVICE OF TEDDY
Governor’s Determination Assures the
Retaining of United ftaies Troops
in Goldfield, Nevada, for Some
Time to Come.
President Roos.evelt Saturday indi
cated by telegram to Governor Sparks
of Nevada that the federal troops now
at Goldfield wjll be ordered to re
main there for ar’‘further period of
three weeks provided the governor
within five days issues a call for a
special session of th< state legisla
ture.
The telegram of the president was in
response to one from the governor in
which he sets forth need of armed
intervention and the doubt that to call
the legislature would result in the nec
essary request from that body for fed
eral aid.
The letter of Governor Sparks, which
was made public at the white house,
•was, in part, as follows:
‘‘Carson, Nev., Dec. 26.—The Presi
dent, Washington, D.C.: As mag
istrate of the state of Nevada I have
been ef the opinion for the past year
that a condition bordering on domes
tic violence arid insurrection has ex
isted in the Goldfield mining district.
“Without considering the merits or
any of the controversies it is only nec
essary to state that the entire district
became divided into two hostile camps.
One on the one hand the miners, with
their adherents and sympathizers, and
on the other mine owners, with their
adherents and sympathizers. The un
ion alone claimed a membership of
3,000 and fully one-half of the mem
bership was constantly armed I
and ammunition were P u Jf e P*
kept by the union as a fftr, for hog
“On the other hand, the ~, j *
ers had In their employ a 1|
ber of watchmen and guards who
were constantly armed and on duty;
In addition to those opposing forces
were an unusually large number of
the criminal element attracted to the
new and booming mining camp. Un
der such conditions the civil authori
ties were probably powerless. They
could attend to the ordinary petty of
fenders from day to day, -but .at the
first conflict between the real armies
of labor and capital would have been
swept away. The repeated strikes and
continued threats of other strikes ex
cited mine owners more and more. It
was clear to me, therefore, that when
the-last strike was called in tlie midst
of the financial' crisis spreading over
the country and with a long winter

facing the 20,000 people situated upon
the desert hundreds of miles from
any centers of population, it was time
to recognize the actual condition of
affairs and to act’accordingly. A state
of insurrection arises, in my judgment,
when armed bodies are in existence
with satisfactory power to overcome
the civil authorities and continued
threats were made of life and prop
erty. This condition has existed in the
Goldfield mining district the past year
and exists there now.”
A dispatch of Sunday from Reno,
Nev., is as follows: A special session
of the Nevada legislature will be call
ed by Governor John Sparks. The
go>sprnor said that he would issue the
proclamation and that the date of con
vening the legislature would probably
be January 14th. The call will be
made at the request of President
Roosevelt. *
Notification of the decision to as
semble the legislature has been trans
mitted to Washington. County Com-j
missioner Rosenthal of Goldfield,whose
resignation has been requested by Gov
ernor Sparks, has refused to vacate
his office.
The announcement that Governor
Sparks will call the Nevada legislature
together in special session has put
an entirely new aspect upon the la
bor situation at Goldfield. At least a
portion of the federal troops, it is
thought, will remain in Goldfield for
an indefinite period and fear of any
serious disturbance growing out of the
dispute has vanished. It is not at all
certain, however, that the legislature
will act in with the wishes
of Governor but the calling
of the will Rave the
effect of keeping federal troops ift
Goldfield for several weeks and will
make the possibility of serious Rouble
more remote.
