font ttoe Atlanta Constitution HM,] firm hoaiiii of Hrtim. Annual Electionoto nicer*. THEY ADJOURN TO MKF.T IN SAYANNAn nfcoisMmtn 18. The State board of health met yester day morning and was palled to order by President Thomas. Attorney General N. J. Uamuiond ap peared and took his seat. Drs. Head and McClellan Forward of the U. 8. A. were also present. APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION NEEDED. Hr. J. P. Logan offered the following, which was uuunfmously adopted: Whereas, It has been clearly demon strated that the State board of healt can not discharge efficiently the dalles im posed or meet public expectation, in con sequence or defects in the law under which it is acting, haring no power to enforce registration or the observance of sanitary laws, and not being provided with a sufficient appropriation to meet its indispensable necessities and are there fore unwilling longer to occupy such a position. Resolved, that a committee of three of its members be appointed to present the subject to the next meeting of the legislature and to represent to that body the necessity of appropriate legislation, if it is desired to continue the existence of the present board. On motion of Dr. G. F. Hooper, Dr. J. G. Thomas, president, Dr. J. P. Logan and Attorney General N. J. Hammond were appointed the committee under the resolution. SECRETARY’S REPORT. The secretary, Dr. Taliaferro, read his second annual report, an elaborate and comprehensive document, Reports of vital statistics had been received from 82 counties, leaving 52 counties nnreport ed. The subject of registration laws and the difficulties in their enforcement. The defects in the registration law of Georgia were pointed out. The voluntary system inoperative and unreliable, because made without hope of reward or fear of penalty. The laws of several States were cited as reasons why the Georgia law should impose them The ordinaries should be the principal agents in obtaining vital statistics, and they should be paid for their services. The health of the State hasbeen excel lent, except the prevalence of yellow fever in Brunswick and Savannah. * The secretary recommends the appointment of a committee of the board to investi gate the epidemic, with ample powers in the case. Only 21 counties have reported the or ganization of county boards of health. The grand juries have either failed or refused to make the appointments. In one case the foreman ot the grand jury refused to act because he was opposed to the law. The secretary recommends that the appointing power be vested in the State board of uealtli hereafter. INVESTIGATING TIIF. EPIDEMIC. The communication of Gov. Smith recommending the board to hold an ad journed term in Savannah to investigate the late epidemic there was taken up and discussed. Dr. J. P. Logan offered the following which was unanimously adopted. Resolved. That this board receive with pleasure the suggestion of liis excellency Governor Smith as to visiting Savannah and it may be Brunswick jo investigate the cause of yellow fever: and will pro ceed to make the investigation. 80 im pressed are we with the importance of this duty as required"by the law of our organization, we intend performing it even though the meagre appropriation made for us is exhausted, relying upon the future for a proper appropriation to meet exigencies of the case. The secretary was instructed to furnish the Governor a copy of this resolution, in response to his communication. Interesting remarks were made by I)rs. Thomas, Carlton, Cooper, Logan, Crom well, Little and Attorney General Ham mond. The board resolved to meet in Savan nah on the 12th of December. ELECTION OP OFFICERS. Dr. J. G.

The board adjourned to meet in Savan nah off the 13th of December. WAS IT WT A PAIB REt(l SENATOR GOBDON’S PROPOSITION TO THE ( AROUNA THIEVES. S. V, Herald— Editorial.! After the State Canvassers of South CatoliDu had aggregated and declar ed the vote according to the actual returns on Saturday, as ordered by the Supreme Court, Senator Gordon requested that clerks might be per mitted to copy at his expense the original figures from which the can vassers made tip their count. Can any honest reason be given why this request was denied ? The refusal was not, indeed, absolute, as tbecan vassers made an intimation that it might be compiled with on Monday. Senator Gordon replied that the rea son why he wanted to copy them at once was a fear that they might be ehatiMd before Monday. He evi dently suspeethd that the count was not in accordance with the original figures; and he wished to test it be fore the figures could be altered. The refusal looks too much like the mem bers of the Board dared not sHbmit the honesty of their count to so di rect and simple a test lest exposure should overtake them on the spot. If this was not the motive of the refus al what was it ? The Soldiers In Service The troops number in the Depart ment of the East—New England, Middle States, Indiana, Ohio, Michi gan and Virginia, are four companies of infantry and nine companies of artillery: in the Department of the South—North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky and Ten nessee, twenty companies of infan try and sixteen companies of artil lery; in the Department of the Gulf —Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana, thirty companies of infantry. In the Department of Texas there are twenty-four com panies of cavalry and thirty com panies of infantry. In the Depart ment of the Platte, thirty-eight com panies of cavalry, forty infantry and four of (infantry. Gen. John Pope has twelve companies of cavalry, twenty of infantry and fourteen of artillery. It is the latter force main ly that is sent to Washington. On the Pacific coast there are twenty six companies of cavalry, thirty eight of infantry and nine of artillery. In all 250 companies of infantry, 127 of cavalry, and 62 of artillery. Wisconsin.

The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have ever used which lias removed the dandruff from the scalp and made my hair soft and pliablo. It has also restored my hair to its natural color; and by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have no donbt it will preserve the eolor. E. T. BAIRD. [From Rev.

Xantiiinz Cos., Richmond, Va.: I have used the Xanthine now for three years, and have induced others to buy it, and have nev er known it to fail in accomplishing all you claim for it.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: All the farmers were of the “weU to do" sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, In which deposits of peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after It has been exhausted of its natural fertilitv. It 1b certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts. In an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We fonnd some of the oldest larras apparently just as profitably prednetive as when first cleared of-forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a marine deposit, aud all through the soli we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally In the form of Indurated calcareous marl, showing mauy distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia ry formation; snd this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants ss tbe farmer desires to cultivate.
