The annual report of the Georgia
State Sanitarium, for the year ending
Sept. 1, 1898, has been printed.
We make the following extracts
from the report of Dr. T. O. Powell,
Supt:
On September 1st, 1897, there were
white patients on hand, 1,515, and
colored 653, making a total of 2,168.
There have been received since 432
whites and 227 colored, making a total
reception of 659.
There have been discharged,removed,
eloped, and died during the year 501,
leaving on hand September 1st, 1898,
2,326, of whom there are 43 whites
and 9 colored on furlough, not dis
charged.
The average number of patients un
der tieatment during the year was 2,-
247, while the total number receiving
treatment was 2,827.
It will be seen that the average num
ber receiving treatment was 162 more
than last year. We have 158 more
patients on hand than at the close of
last year.
The report of every department i6
made in a clear and comprehensive
manner, and shows that the manage
ment of the institution has been most
excellently conducted.
Mr. L. J. Lamar, Steward makes a
full report giving a strict account of all
money received, and showing lor what
and to whom it was paid.
Very soon Texas and Maine can

Bar Harbor will be connected,a distance

The Georgia legislature should not
hesitate for a second in cutting those
big appropriations it it thinks it is ne-
aaasary. The people will sustain their
representatives.
Quite a lot of celebrities will attend
Atlanta’s peace jubilee next month.
The list will include President McKin

Shall the Tax Rate be Increased?
The Legislature has quite a problem
on its bands in the matter of reducing
appropriations or increasing taxes.
We believe that if the property
which is now hidden from the Tax
Collectors of the State was brought to
light, and the burden of taxation fell
alike on the rich and poor there would
be no necessity for an increase of the
tax rate, and there would be no neces
sity for the reduction of the common
school and pension funds.
But as to pensions, we believe there
are many persons in the State drawing
pensions, who do not need aid from the
State. No one ehould receive a pen'
sion who is able to earn a living, or
who has an income large enough to
furnish him a livelihood. If the names
of those who come in this class were
taken from the pension roll, we believe
that this appropriation could be mate
rial!:
the
Hood’s Cupon Calendar 1899 will
be a perfect beauty. Will be right up
to date, having tor its subject “An
American Girl,” with appropriate and
patriotic surroundings, being the largest
«nd handsomest we have ever issued.
Leave your name at your druggist’s
and ask him to save Hood’s Calendar
for you, or send 6 cents t* us for one.

reduced. There is no doubt that
late’s liberality is being greatly
abused on this line.
The pension roll should be an honor
roll, and none but the names of indi
gent soldiers or widows should be on it
The people of Georgia are in no
condition to stand an increase of the
tax rate, and Gov. Candler’s position
on this question will receive the hearty
support of the tax payers of the State
If, therefore, the present pension and
school funds cannot be maintained
without an increase of taxation, these
hitherto popular appropriations must
be reduced.
According to the annual report of
the. Railroad Commission of Georgia,
Ibere are 5475 miles of road in this
state. This is an increase of lOO miles
ever the previous year. Georgia’s
railroads earned in the year ending
Jure 30 last, $19,046,988. The aver
age gross earnings per mile were
$3517. The average operating expenses
mile were $2492, while the net
' earnings were $1025 per mile.

The Third Georgia regiment has
been ordered to break camp at Griffin
and proceed at once to Savannah,where
the command will embark on trans
ports in the course of a few days for
Nuevitas, Cuba.
A dispatch from the war department
was received by Colonel Berner Fri
day afternoon, who for two weeks has
been bolding his regiment in order to
move at a moment’s notice. The tele
gram from Washington was a short one,
simply instructing the command to
move to Savannah without delay, but
it was sufficient to make the camp of
the Georgia volunteers a lively scene
and to carry joy to the hearts of officers
and enlisted men who have waited pa
tiently tor weeks for the arrival of the
dispatch.
The Third Georgia left for Savannah
yesterday, the First battalion getting
away early in the morning and the
others in the afternoon.
The Third Georgia by a recent order
was attached to the Second army corps,

In Savannah it is believed the Third
Georgia will remain only a day or two,
as the war department notified Colonel
Berner that his regiment would be
held at Griffin until the transports for
the accommodation of his men had
reached Savannah, so that no time will
be lost in that city.
The Georgia regiment will go to
Nuevitas, in the province of Principe,
one of the healthiest sections of Cuba,
being situated on the northern coast of
the island. At Nuevitas the Georgia

It is really better than the Post Office, and it is simply “out o‘i

I tell you, Smith, Barrett made a “ten stroke” when he engaged
