Professor Whatley, assistant state ge
oligist, has found another diamond on
the Marclebanks place near Gainesville.
This is the third and largest. It is a fine
specimen and weighs two and a half
karats. The finds already exceed in
value the outlay, and no doubt is ex
pressed but what these stones exist in
paying quantities in several parts of Hall
county.

At a recent meeting of the Futton
county alliance a resolution was intro
duced and adopted to fhe effect that
lnrenfter the policy of the Fulton county
alliance, and the policy of the alliance
papers, so far as the Fulton county organ
ization could control it, be against the
discussion of politics in alliance meet
ings, and the exclusion of all political
matters from the meetings.

A bill has been prepared, and will he
introduced in the legislature, providing
for anew superior court circuit made up
of the counties of Sc iven, Bollock,
Bryan, Liberty, Tatnall, Emanuel and
Effingham. It will be termed the
Ogei chee circuit. This will leave ouly
Chatham and Mclntoth in the eastern
circuit. The change is rendered neces
sary by the increasing amount of busi
ness in Chatham.

The Georgia, Carolina and Northern
railroad will unload its passengers in the
uuion depot in Atlanta in first-class style
in a few days. The officers of the ro*d
are highly elated at the completion of its
splendid arrangements and are congratu
lating themselves over the fact that their
terminal facilities are equal to those of
any entering the city. They have tri
umphed over what seemed insurmounta
ble obstacles in securing their entrance
to the union depot, and it was only after
a hard fight that they were able to get in
at all. -

Mr. Price, of Floyd, wants Rome to
have a part of the state lunatic asylum,
and has introduced a bill in the house
providing for the establishment of one in
that viciuity. He wants the state to take
belter care of her insane than she can do
with the limited faciliiies of the asylum
at Milledgeville. The bill declares that
there shall be another branch of the asy
lum near Rome and that the grounds be
given by citizens of the county, and that
the branch asylum shall be run by a
board, the chairman of which shall be the
president of the state lunatic asylum at
Milledgeville.
There is good news for the hard work
ed and poorly-paid common school teach
ers of Georgia. Unhss present prom&es
fail they will, commencing with next
year, be paid their salaries quarterly in
cash, instead of as now being put oil un
til the tax money comes in the last of
the year. At the beginning of the ses
sion of the legislature, Hon. H. W. J.
Ham, of Hall, who is an earnest friend
of the teachers, introduced in tthe bouse
a resolution calling upon the finance com
mittee to report to the house what legis
lation was utcessary to enable the treas
ury to pay the teachers quarterly, and at the
same time avoid an increase in the rate of
taxation. This bill has been favorably
reported and will undoubtedly pass.
Governor Northen entertained a special
committee from the legislature a few days
ago and showed the members the exec
utive mansion. They found the bhild
ing in a bad fix. It is sadly in need of
repairs and if anything is done it should
be a thorough overhauling. Patching
would be money thrown away. The
committee came to the conclusion that
the mansion should either be put iu com
plete order or nothing at all should be
done and in a. lit tie while the place will
fa Ito pieces. This is no exageration but
is vouched for by the legislators who
made the inspection. The roof is leaky,
the wails are dark and dingy, the furni
ture is that which was brought from
Milledgeville when the capital was
moved. This furniture has been mended
and repaired until it is discreditable.
Something should be done quickly if the
mansion is to be preserved. The special
committee will recommend thorough re*
unirimr of the buildicur.
The State Militia
Georgia favors au increased appropri
ation for the state malitia, says the At
lanta Constitution. Extracts from lead
ing editorials in Georgia newspapers all
point to this. The need for a proper
maintenance of a militia has been fully
demonstrated in these columns from
time to time, and it rests with the legis
lature, which now has the question under
consideration, ns to whether or not the
state soldiery shall be supported in the
manner it deserves as a state institution
and a shield and safeguard. Attention
has been called to tho efficient service
rendered in the past; if, therefore, this
service is to be continued, it must be en
couraged, and in such simple manner as
will add to its efficiency. It has never
had the encouragement it deserved; but
it is in the hands of the legislature to
give it the meed of its deserts and recog
nize in a substantial way its faithful
services.

Off for Cbioago.
The committee apointed by the legis
lature to visit Chicago and see the
World’s fair left Weduesday. The lucky
ten senators selected were Messrs. Wil
son, Scaiffe, Daly, Blalock, Gholston,
Smith, Robinson, Pope and Edwards.
This is a strong and influential commit
Stair of £la k fetni
tee and their report will carry weight
whichever way it goes. The house will
be ably represented by Speaker Atkin
son and the following members: Hill, of
Wilkes; Lathabi, Turner, Camp, Char
ters, Trammell, Morton, Walton, Os
borne, Boyd, Mcßride, Roddenbery,
Brady, Johnson, of Fulton; Bennett,
Ashburn, Thomson, of Madison; Sin
, quefield, Smith, of Gwinett, and Mitch
ell. Governor Northen and a party of
newspaper men completed the delega
tion. It is well understood that this is
a purely business trip, the purpose being
to get up such an interest in the fair
among Georgians that the state will sure
ly be represented at Chicago.

State Board of Health.
Dr. W. F. Brunner, health officer of
Savannah, snys that sentiment in his city
among the physicians and the health au
thorities is against the bill recently intro
duced in the legislature to create a state
board of health. A board is desired,but
not on the lines of this bill exactly. The
measure which is pending follows Flori
da’s law. Dr. Brunner says: “Savannah
is more deeply interested in a law of this
nature than any other city in the state.
Our commerce is 75 per cent of fhe com
merce of the state. Wo have very strict
quarantine regulations at our port. Wc
would wish to be in perfect accord with
the state authorities, and we hope that
whatever legislation is passed will be con
siderate of that. Our city sanitary boar!
has examined this bill and we think that
it is too costly a device by far. Savannah
has the best quarantine station on the
south Atlantic coast. Indeed, it is sur
passed by only New York and New Or
leans of all the cities in the country.”

Regarding Bad Oil.
The following communication from
Commissioner Nesbit explains itself:
In view of tho large number of com
plaints made to the department of agri
culture as to the poor burning quality of
oil sold in some parts of the state, per
mit tne to say, for the benefit of those
desiring information on the subject that
the inspections made under the super
vision of the department apply only to
the lire test. When the test is satisfac
tory and it is ascertained that the oil is
not of such an explosive character as to
prohibit it being placed upon the mar
ket, the authority of the department
ceasfs. Complaints made to the oil
companies have in several instances met
with a pr< mpt response. In this regard
we are willing to aid the public; for
unless legislative action should be deem
ed advisable competition and complaint
must be relied upon to correct the evil.
The inferior quality of the oil, it should
be said, is due to fault in the refining
process, which in no way prevents it from
coming up to the state’s standard as a
fire test.
May Consolidate.
Kecently Mr. E. Summerfield, of New
York, made an inspection trip over the
Marietta and North Georgia, the Atlanta
and Florida, the Georgia Midland and
Gulf, the Columbus and Southern and
the Knoxville and Cumberland Gap
roads. He is an expert, representing
Coffin & Stanton, New York bankers. It
is now reported that the Marietta and
Noith Georgia may soon be reorganized
and a consolidation of the lines mention
ed or of some of them “av follow. Cof
fin & Stanton hold bonds in all these
roads. A majority of the bonds and
stock of the Marietta and North Geor
gia is reported to be on deposit with a
reorganization committee, in which this
firm is interested, along with Messrs.
Post, Denniston and other northern
bankers. It is thought that the Ma
rietta and North Georgia may eventually
be extended to Atlanta and connected
with the Atlanta and Florida. Three
committees have undertaken the task of re
organizing the Marietta and North Geor
gia. If the consolidation is made, anew
short line will be made from East Ten
nessee down through Georgia and, after
awhile, either to the Georgia coast or
into Florida. Mr. Summerfield’s firm con
trols the Blue Ridge and Atlantic road
and owns two western lines.

Inquiries About Georgia.
General Phil Cook, secretary of state,
said a few day ago that since he has been
in office he has received over 100 letters
from parties in the north and west asking
about the price of Georgia lands and
making inqiries about business openings.
Colonel Nesbitt, commissioner of agricul
ture, said that he is constantly in receipt
of inquiries about Georgia. At the gov
ernor’s office similar letters are received
every day nr two. There is nothing to
send in reply to such inquiries except
personal letters, and they must neces
sarily be brief because of the pressure of
official business. General Cook suggests
that a small pamphlet be compiled, giv
ing general information on the climate,
soil, productiveness, variety of agricul
tural products, timber, natural resources,
prices of land in the different
sections of the state, school, church
and railroad facilities, etc. This
pamphlet sent in response to questions
would attract many people to come here,
the officials who receive these letters be
lieve. There is a great deal of interest
manifested in Georgia throughout the
north west. Of late there has been a dis
position to waite anH see the outcome of
the national elections. So long as the
force bill was a possibility the capitalists
were anxious to know what was thought
here of the probable effect on investment.
Now that the fear of the force bill is re
moved, it will be an easy matter to draw
capital to Georgia if the right sort of in
formation can be placed before the pros
pective investors. During the term of
Commissioner Henderson a book of sta
tistics was published by the agricultural
department. It was a more complete
work and more expensive than was real
ly required. A pamphlet will embrace
all that is absolutely neccessary and can

be published for a comparatively small
sum. The increased tax on one or two
good interprises attracted to the state
would pay for the publication.

Grievances of the Colored Feo|#e.
The memorial of the colored conven
tion, lately held in Atlanta, has been
presented to the legislat ire. The memo
rial protests against separate accommo
dations on railroad trains for the races,
“which the railroads assume the privi
lege because of existing prejudices to
give to one portion of the citizens every
facility of accommodation, while that,
provided for another is inlerior, unjust
and not in keeping with the spirit, intent
and purpose of the law.” The present
law is declared to be especially hu
miliating in regard to street cars,
where the dr-crimination engenders
distrust between the races. This
should be abolished as being useless and
of no benpfit to the state, the railroads
or their patrons. “We look upon the
seperate car system as unjust, repulsive
humiliating to that part of citizens who
are subjected to its indignities.” The
repeal o: the discriminating legislation is
urged or ihe institution of first and sec
ond-class fares after the mnnner of North
and South Carolina. It further says in re
gard to the question of education, “We
believe the intelligence of the masses is a
bulwark towards making the govern
ment strong and effective in carrying
out those purposes for which it is con
stituted,” and then proceeds to advocate
such provision as would advance the ed
ucational interests of all classes. There
were several defects in the present sys
tem of public schools as pointed out by
the governor and also the commissioner
of education. It was also recommended
that a change be made in the law so as
to retrieve the embarrassment of the
teachers who have to wait for their sala
ries and to save them the exhorbitant in
terest which they have to pay for bor
rowed money. Teachers should be paid
according to grade and not according to
color. The negro population should
have an equitable proportion-of the funds
for educational purposes. Special at
tention is called to the landscript fund
and also to the $48,000 received from
the general government in 1890. A
plea was entered in behalf of the col
ored troops of the state. It was claimed
that the colored soldiers had been over
looked and the state had allowed the
white militia to monopolize the funds.
They deserved a seperate military en
campment and thought the state should
vote them such an appropriation. The
present convict lease sjstt m was heartily
condemned. It intermingled the male
and female convicts and also associated
minors with older criminals. It brought
about antagonism with free labor and for
that reason was offensive. The com
plete separation of male and female con
victs was recommended, the establish
ment of a reformat! ry school and the re
moval of all obnoxious competition.
Lynch law was condemned as one of the
worst crimes ever practiced by a civil
zed people. The jails had been used in
many parts of the state as mere coops to
keep the criminals in until the arrival of
the mob. No sympathy was felt for the
colored men who committed their brutal
crimes, but an equal justice to all and a
proper enforcement of the law of the
land was recommended. Such otbaa.
remedies were prayed for as the leg’WU
lature should see fit in its judgment to
grant. J
PENSION FIGURES*
Secretary Noble Furnishes Estimates
for the Next Fiscal Year.
A Washington dispatch of Monday
says: Treasury officials view with some
surprise the estimates sent up by Secre
tary Noble for pensions. They are, in
their opinion, too small, but as it is
their duty to put tfiem in the “book of
estimates’” in they go. Secretary No
ble’s figures in round numbers are $165,-
000,000 for pensions for the fiscal year
ending Juue 30, 1894, and $10,500,000
as adi ficiency for the fiscal year 1893,
which, with the appropriation of $147,-
000,000, brings up the pension money
for the fiscal year of 1893, $157,500,000.
The treasury department is now pay
ing out pension money at the rate of
$13,500,000 a month. This makes the
present rate $102,000,000 a year; but
this rate is increasing each month and
unless the pension office stops work al
together and does not allow any new
cases or increases, the rate it is estimated
must increase to at least $14,000,000 be
fore this present fiscal year is end
ed. When the fiscal year 1893 94
is reached, for which Secretary Noble
says $166,000,000 will be sufficient, the
pension rate, it is believed by the best
posted < fficials in the treasury depart
ment, will be $15,000,000 a month, or
$180,000,000 a year, which will have a
deficiency of $14,000,000 for the second
sees on of the fifty-third congress to pro
vide.
The Central’s Loan Called.
A special of Saturday Irom New York
says: The Mutual Lile Insurance Com

GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
The Industrial Development in the
Past Week.
In regard to the industrial situation in the
South for the past week the advance in cotton
of one and one-half cents smc- Nov. 1, adding
as it does 922,500,000 (estimating present
stocks at three millioti bales) to tho material
wealth of the South, is having its effect on
every branch of industry. The marketing of
the crop confi ms statements as to the existing
shortage and a further advance may lie exnect
ed. The Southern mills have marked up prices
about 5 per cent for their product, to meet the
increase in the valin* of the raw material. Sev
eral new cotton m lls are reporte I for the week.
Preparat ions are f making for the blowing in of
several furnaces in the iron district to meet the
steady demand. All but three in the Birming
ham district are now in blast. Increased activity
is reported in the lumber market, aud Texus re
ports shortage in manufactured cypress. There
ib a general complaint that the available supply
of freight cars is not equal to the demand from
iron, coal and lumber shippers. The general
outlook is very promising.
Forty-nine new industries were established or
incorporated during the week, together with 4
en argements of manufactories, and 14 in por

TYPHOID FEVER EPIDEMIC.
The Blind Asylum at St. Louis Crowded
with Patients.
A special of Monday from St. Louis,
says: The asylum for the blind is
becoming a veritable hothouse for ty
phoid fever patients. Over twenty stu
dents are down with the • fever and the
malady is spreading. A pathetic feature
is the fact that most of the students are
from abroad and generally belong to
families in poor circumstances who are
hot able to respond if summoned to
the bedside. Every hospital in
the city contains typhoid patients,
one of the Catholic institutions hav
ing as many as thirty-five. There are
sixty-five at thirty hospitals. Three of
the cases at the blind asylum have proved
fatal. There is no official record of the
number cf deaths in the city yet, but aa
there were 215 new cases Saturday, it is
thought that fully 450 new cases will be
recorded for forty-eight hours, beginning
Saturday. A committee was appointed
at a meeting of the board of health to go
to Lowell and investigate the water sup

the woods, firing a parting fusilade as
they drsappeared. The total amount
taken was $1,200 besides gold watches
and jewelry and other valuables.

special session of the joint committee on
privileges and elections of the legislature

passage of the election bill, introduced
in the senate by Senator Goodwin, one
of his supporters, authorizing any quali
fied elector of the state, to contest the
offices of the governor and other state
officers. Captain Kolb spoke for half an
hour. His argument was taken up in
specific details as to the frauds commit
ted in the election. The inauguration of
Governor Joues will take place on Thurs
day next. A meeting of the opposition
will be held on the day Drecedias.
