CAPT. WIRZ MONUMENT
Daughters of Confederacy to
Erect it at Andersonville.
CAUSE OF GREAT DISSENSION
In the Ranks of the Daughters in Geor
gia—Vote Stood Andersonville 125,
Macon 65, Americus 5.
Atlanta, Ga. —By a vote of 125 to
70, the Georgia division of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy decided
on Andersonville as the location feu
the monument to Captain Wirz, having
rescinded its former action in voting
the monument to Richmond, Va.
The final decision to erect the shaft
on the site of the prison where Capt.
Wirz, C. S. A., was commandant dur
ing the civil war, was reached after
a stormy session. The vote stood as
follows: Andersonville, 125; Macon,
65; Americus, 5.
Thus ends a matter which has caus
ed great dissension in the ranks ot
the Daughters in this state. The spe
cial session of the Georgia division
held here was called in response to
numerous protests from chapters in
all parts of the state against the ac
tion at the Savannah convention in
voting the monument to a city with
out the state.
A specialNappeal, signed by the may
or and prominent citizens of Ander
sonville, was read to the*bonventicn
urging that the monument be located
there.

MILITARY”™ HAS REVERTED.^
$53,597.72 Unexpended Balance Goes
Back Into State Treasury.
Atlanta, Ga. —An unexpended bal
ance cf the state military fund ap
propriated by the legislature, amount
ing to $53,597.72, has reverted back
to the state treasury.
The fund in question includes $47,-
211.06 appropriated by the legislature
in 1907 for the purchase of certain
equipment for the state troops to pre
pare them for service under the terms
of the Dick bill. Governor Smith has
never permitted the use of this money
for the purpose stated, presumably be
cause he considered that sufficient
equipment had been supplied by the
general government. The remainder
of the amount reverted is an unex
pended balance of the military fund
for the year 1907, which was not used
prior to July 1, 1908.
The troops, however, are not left
without funds. They had on January
1, 1909, an unexpended balance of
$13,954.07 of the 1908 fund, which is
available until July 1 next, and also
the appropriation of $25,000 for the
current year, making a total of nearly
$39,000 for the currennt year’s ex
penses.
NEED OF INDUSTRIAL TRAINING.!!
Ths Davis Bill to Aid Industrial
Education.
A strong effort is being made to
pass the Davil bill through congress
during the extra session.
The bill gives each state annually,
beginning in 1909, 1 cent per capita
for the proper training of teachers
to give technical instruction. This
would give Georgia about $25,000 an
nually. Beginning 1911 nations grants
of 10 cents perl capita for aid in es
tablishing city / and rural technical
high schools,' to include instruction in
practical agriculture,- industrial sci
ences and oils and domestic subjects.
This latter appropriation will give to
Georgia about $250,000 annually tor
secondary industrial schools. L.ec
every Georgian write to his congress
man’and senator to support this bill.
It will make possible the full devel
opment of our district agiicultuial
opment of our district agricultural
schools, as well as industrial features
in our county high schools and city
high schools. This bill is sure to
pass in lime. It is but a continuation
of the agricultural college grants vo
secondarv schools. The development
of our district agricultural schools
lead to the introduction of this bill.
The educational leaders in every
countv and town should begin to pre
pare for ihis industrial training They
should have the buildings ready and
the local support guaranteed. ine
constitution does not forbid districts,
towns or counties from taxing them
selves for high schools. The state
may not aid them, however.—J. o.

STATE GLEANINGS.
Caruso, the famous Italian tenor,
will receive SIO,OOO for singing two
nights at the Great Southern Music
festival in Atlanta next May. His
visit to the south will mark the first
occasion, with one exception, that he
has ever consented to appear outside
New York city since coming to this
country four years ago. He states
however, that he always wanted to
visit this section because he, himself,
is from a southern climate and a
southern people. This coupled with
the offer of $5,0000 per night has
brought him to Georgia. The festival
has been planned on big proportions
and will bring together tlo most re
nowned singers, violinists and pian
ists in the world. Its dates are May
4th, sth and 6th.
Announcement has been made that
the directors of the St. Mary’s-Kings
land railroad have voted to extend
the road fifty miles, from Kingsland
to Waycross, find an additional sev
enty miles, from there to Sparks. At
the latter place the road will connect
with the Georgia Southern and Flor
ida railroad.
The cotton receipts for Athens for
the present season have broken all
records. Last year the receipts for
the entire season were 110,000. This
season they have already gene to
112,000 bales and will go to 115,000
by the end of the season. Thus Ath
ens still maintains her position as the
second largest inland cotton port in
the state and the sixth largest in the
world. There is. now on hand a stock
of over twenty-one thousand bales.
Whipped into dangerous propor
tions by the high March winds, for
est fires in Ben Hill county have done
great damage during the past week.
Telegraph and telephone poles were
in many cases entirely consumed.
Many farmers have lost fences and
outhouses and have had hard work
keeping their homes from being de
stroyed. Not in several years has so
great damage been done.
Commissioner of Agriculture T.
G. Hudson is back in his office after
a week spent in Washington, D. C.,
where he went, for the purpose of urg
ing the United States department of
agiiculture to resume the work of
eradicating the cattle tick. Georgia
has refused to make an appropriation
to assist in its conduct, it is said
that in practically every other state
in which the United States govern
ment is spending money to get rid of
the tick and Texas fever among cat
tle, the work is assisted to some ex
tent by state appropriation, hut Geor
gia has failed, to respond. Notwith
standing this, Commissioner Hudson
stated that he was much encouraged
as the result of his trip, and he
thinks there will be a resumption of
the work in this state. Secretary of
Agriculture James Wilson was most
favorably disposed toward Mr. Hud
son's request. Another object of Com
missioner Hudson’s visit to Washing
ton was to urge a soil survey in the
Third congressional district. He was
assured that this would be undertak
en as early as possible and that the
Third district will be the next in
which a soil survey will be made.
The latest reports indicate that the
scramble for the congressional toga
of Honorable Gordon Lee will be still
further complicated by the entry of
a republican candidate. It has been
twelve years since there was a re
publican candidate in this district.
Adjutant General A. J. Scott is now
working on a plan by which he hopes
the national guard of the state will
be able to go into encampments this
summer. For some time, the regular
annual outings have been looked
upon as suspended for the present
year. General Scott’s plan is to have
battalion or regimental encampments.
They would be at places near the lo
cation of the various commands. For
instance, it is proposed to have the
Second regiment go into camp at Hol
ton, near Macon. Transportation
would be minimized as one of the
requirements is that the troops
march to the place of encampment.
The state would bear the expenses of
the return trip, and pay the costs of
each encampment. The encampments
would last five days, beginning on
Monday and closing on Friday.
Because the Fitzgerald military
company, which is a part of the
strong first regiment, did not show up
to advantage at the annual inspection
Major F. L. Palmer threatened to dis
band the company if great improve
ment is not made at once. He prom
ised to give the officers a chance to
hold the company together and will
give the boys another inspection af
ter he completes his tour of the state.
Joe Campbell, gged 22 years, a
young farmer living in Chattooga
county, put a pistol ball through his
head causing instant death. He left
a note saying that he was tired of
life. No reason can be assigned for
the deed.
A marble postoffice has been decid
ed upon for Milledgeville, and it is
quite probable that the building will
commence within the next month or
two.
The largest public building ever
constructed in the southern states
was completed recently in Atlanta. It
is that city’s auditorium to be used
for holding conventions and other
great public gatherings. It covers a
whole city square and can seat nearly
eight thousand people. It w'ill be
formally opened next May with a mu
sic festival at which Caruso, the not
ed Italian tenor, Madame Fremsted,
the Norwegian soprano; Petschnikoff,
the Russian violinist, the Royal Or
chestra of Germany, Germaine Schnit
zel', the Viennese pianist and about a
dozen other famous vocalists and per
formers will appear. The railroads
will grant reduced rates.
