Wright, assistant commissioner of agriculture, is spending tjeorgia this week in the field in north personally superintend¬ ing the-work of organization and in¬ spection in the war which has been undertaken to drive the cattle tick from Georgia. Captain Wright, some time ago, is progressing splendidly. He will organize the counties of , Banks and Franklin. The county au¬ thorities will place inspectors in the field, th e "federal st ate will employ an officer and the government officials will antine co-cj>erate that has in proved establishing effective a quar¬ else¬ where and will prove av there. Similar organizations are doing this w-..rk in; the counties of Hall, Hart and Green, where (he tick has been very aggressive, but where it is be¬ ing gradually driven out. The state authorities are looking forward with much interest to 'July 15, the date on which the federal gov¬ ernment is to distribute its fund for carrying on the crusade. GREAT PEACH CROP. Georgia Peachtrees Weighted With the Greatest Crop in Years. Americus, Ga-—With a half million peach trees fruited to the capacity with healthy young peaches, the big orchards about Americus give assur¬ ance now of tli- finest crop in years, and the ownerr of these magnificent tracts of waving trees are correspond¬ ingly elated at ike golden prospects. The young peaches, now the size of partridge eggs, re firm and of a healthy appearam and show no evi¬ dence of the stint of the much-dread¬ ed (urculio. Tli is the bug that produces the wort which attacks the pea-h, rendering worthless, And if half the aches now on the tre s remain, a b per crop and bro¬ ken boughs at assured, for the w ght will be too t reat. Americas orchai : will begin ship¬ ping the first p' ties of tbe early varieties late in ay. and as other varieties ripen tl packing house force will be kepi nsy until the El berta crop is sh.j ied, between July 5 and 20. The i- berta season is a short and busy < A BOTANIC AL FREAK. Three Varieties Tree Growing From One Trunk. Athens, Ga—Th<- Classic City pos¬ sesses more than one curious tree, from a botanilogicai point of view, but the most peculiar one has only recently been noted. Tbe tree that owns ifsplf, the Australian oak that bears the giant acorns, the tree that is growing out of a two-story build¬ ing, have ail been objects of interest, but toe npw discovery beats then. ail. It is three trees in one, and the freak is situated on Finley street, near the Athens High School. The original tree ts a large china berry tree, aud out of the trunk of this are .growing tv.o other kinds of trees.. One is a water dak and the other' is of the Empress of India va¬ riety, and recently, when the latter was in bloom, the trio presented a curious sight. I 0ADMAKING EXPERIMENT. Road Work Being Watched With It. terest in Dougherty County. Albany, Ga.—Experiments in good roads building are just now being watched with interest by Douguerty ccuntians, and comparisons in results will likely govern future operations. A specimen mile of specially con¬ structed sand-clay road is being built under the supervision of a govern¬ ment expert. It will be subjected to steady and at tiaes heavy traffic, but it is‘expected to hold its own. MASONS TO MEET. Royari Arch Masons Will Meet in Ma¬ con April 26-27. Macon, Ga-—Arrangements are be¬ ing made by Secretary W. A. Wolii hin lied local iiasons for the sixty seventh annual session of the Grand Council of Royal and Select Masons and the eighty-eighth annual convo¬ cation of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, April 26 and 27 In Ma¬ con..

GEORGIA NEWS NOTTS' Special taxes are coming into the state treasury rapidly from the vari¬ ous counties of the state, and up to the present the total sum of $35,554,50 has been received. Of this amount, Richmond county heads the list with $12,456 in special taxes, Chatham re¬ turns $11,938.50, Bibb county $10,224, Floyd, $936. Fulton and Muscogee counties, which fare also expected to make large returns from special tax¬ es, have not sent in their reports. Mountain lands containing vast de¬ posits of marble, valued at $5,000,000, are involved in suits filed in the su¬ perior court at Jasper, Pickens coun¬ ty in which the plaintiffs, thirteen in number, ask the cancellation of deeds and the return of ownership. The suits are directed against Dr. \v. B. Tate, a wealthy real estate own¬ er who it is charged, deliberately misrepresented the land value when he purchased it several years ago for approximately $400. J. D. Morse of Athens and Rolson P. King of Atlanta have been ap¬ pointed by the governor as delegates to attend the second annual session of the International Cong,-ess for Good Roads, which is to be held in Brussels, July 31 to August 7, of the current year. The interest in roaa building is by no means confined to Georgia, but seems to be spread over the entire world. There is no doubt that these two worthy Georgians can, by their attendance at the internation¬ al congress, gather some ideas that will be of value to the builders of roads in this state. Following numerous complaints which the agricultural department has received concerning sales of dam¬ aged corn in Georgia by persons out¬ side the state, State Pure Food In¬ spector P. A. Mthvin issued a state¬ ment warning merchants to be' eex tremely carewul in purchases of corn. “No merchant should buy corn un¬ less he makes the seller guarantee that it will measure up to the stand¬ ard and will come within the provis¬ ions of the pure food law," said Mr. Methvin. “We are constantly receiv¬ ing letters from persons saying they have bought corn and that after de¬ livery it Is found to be damaged and they wish to know what to do about it. Too only resource in that case is for this department to see that the seller is prosecuted, and if the mer¬ chant wishes to get his money back he will have to sue in the courts. Every merchant buying corn should require the seller to give him a guar¬ antee and then if the shipment is mis¬ represented he will have something tangible on which to sue for recov¬ ery." Confederate veterans, the chamber of commerce and the Macon city council will make an organized effort to secure the general Confederate re¬ union of 1911 for Macon. Delegations from these bodies will be at the Mo¬ bile reunion this month to extend in¬ vitation. The general reunion has been held but one time in Geor¬ gia, when the veterans met in Atlan¬ ta in 1898. The eighth annual convention of the Masons of the Seventh district will convene in Rome on May 4 ana 5. At the same time that the dele¬ gatee from the seventy lodges in the thirteen north Georgia counties gath¬ er, the division deputies from the eleven congressional districts of the state will come. Among the speak¬ ers will be General Clement A. Evans, Past Grand Masters Jeffries and Tay lor. Grand Master Banks, Deputy Grand Master Napier, Grand Senior Warden Golding, Grand Junior War¬ den Ballard and others. "The Old Sweet Tale of Love" is the title of a song that is destined to add to the popularity of W. F. Grace of Atlanta the well known song writ¬ er. There is a lilt and swing to the melody that makes it particularly charming and easy to learn. Mr. Grace is the writer of a number of compositions that have been made familiar to the singers of the south He has set to music several poems of Frank L. Stanton and Samuel Min trum Peck which have been ready sellers. “The Old Sweet Tale of Love" is written in the popular style and will be sung in some of the moving picture houses throughout the coun¬ try. Mr. Grace has had the misfor¬ tune to lose his sight and has devot¬ ed his life in the greater part to mu¬ sic and musical compositions, for which he is peculiarly fitted. Governor Brown drew his warrant on the treasury for the sum of $192,- 433.16, which represents the second payment made this year to the schools of the state. Of this amount $29,429.04 was due for 1909, and $163,004.12 was due for 1910. The treasury department is also sending out checks amounting to $24,263, which is disbursed to the local school systems of the state. The latest estimate of the registra¬ tion figures of 1910, made up from reports from ninety-seven counties, is to the effect that fifty thousand voters in the state have failed to reg¬ ister under the new law and cannot vote this year. The total registra tion in the ninety-seven counties from which the figures were compiled, amounts to 205,890. The registration in these same counties, two years ago, was 235,350, showing a decrease of 29,460. There is confidence in Tift county in the fig as a commercial crop. It is stated that ten thousand acres arc being planted there in figs. Figs wif! yield $800 to $i,500 an acre. Three thousand Gideon Bibles will be placed in the hotels of Atlanta, according to a statement made by VV. E. Henderson, national secretary cf tbe Gideons. The department of agriculture has decided to have Georgia represented with an exhibit at the display of na¬ tional industries to be given at Madi¬ son Square Garden, New York, April 7 to 24. It was really an unusual hon¬ or that Georgia should have been in¬ vited to matte a display as she had never been asked to participate in these exhibits before. State commis¬ sioner of Agriculture Hudson has taken the matter in hand and will see to if, that Georgia k represented wun an exhibit that will do real honor to the state.

IHONOU FRANCES E. WILLARD. Patriotic exercises in .celebration of the fifth anniversary of tlhe un¬ veiling of the statue of Frances E. Willard were held at the capitol, in Washington, D. C., under the aus pices of the Woman's Christian Tem peranoe Union. The statue was plac¬ ed there by the State of Illinois. Addresses eulogizing Miss Willard and her work were made. One of the speakers declared she had made the world “wider for women and hap¬ pier flat humanity." Mrs, Margaret D. Ellis, national superintendent of legislation; Miss Bell Kearney, of Mis¬ sissippi, national lecturer; Mrs. Lil¬ lian H. Stephens, national president, and Miss Anna Adams Gardner, na¬ tional vice president, were the speak¬ ers. The statue was decorated with pink and white carnations. Mrs. E. S. Shelton, district secre¬ tary, presided and the Rev. Henry N. Couden, chaplain of the House, of¬ fered prayer. According to Rules. The monotony of the posiai of¬ ficial’s daily routine is frequently broken by the peculiar whims and caprices of eccentric members of the public with whom he is from time; to time brought in contact. A iady once sent to her son a pair of trousers by book post, which is, of course, cheaper than parcel post. Tho postal officials-.wrpic. to her, "Clothes cannot be sent by book post. If you will refer to the ‘Post-office Guide’ you will see under what, con¬ ditions articles may he sent, by book post." After a few days, tile lady re¬ plied: "1 have looked in the ‘Post office Guide,’ and find that articiee which are open at both ends may be sent by book post. And If trousers are not open at both ends, I should like to know what is.”—London An swers. Both Italy and Switzerland are for¬ tifying the entrances to the Simplon tunnel, while in the tunnel itself en¬ gineers are engaged in constructing mines and strengthening those already in place, in order to. blow np the tun¬ nel at a moment’s notice in the event of war. Near the mid-die of the tun¬ nel, relates the Boston Transcript, a few. yards from the Swiss frontier, Italian engineers have put in place a double iron door, which can resist the rush of an express train travelling six¬ ty miles an hour. This iron door is worked by electricity from Iseile, the station at the Italian end of the tun¬ nel, and under ordinary conditions it is/hidden in the rocky side of the tun ’nql. The dear is carefully tested once a week. The mines are connected with Briggue an! Iseile by eluectricity also, and by simply pressing a button the Simplon tunnel wouid be destroyed in a second. The notion that women teachers and girl schoolmates we'ikon a boy’s character and vigor and manliness is based on an entirely superficial and erroneous idea as to the outward in dications of these qualities, the New York Press. The fact that a lx*-/ is polite, well bred, does not swear like a? trooiier—in short, is not a confounded nuisance to every grown-up in his immediate neighbor hood—is no argument against his manl , ’iess. A man is never more manly than when his heart has been captured by a woman There is just as mJC h reason for believing that as with sweethearts and wives j s disastrous to m-anliness as that feminine companionship and control during school days aas su< b an effect, The real sissy is horn, not made.

In the northwest last year, he says, the depredations amounted to $13,000,000 in value of property destroyed. This is a large sum to set down as abso¬ lute loss occasioned by one species of wUd'gmmaj alone in a country of rapidly- inereating population, when the land hats so been taken up that it has been supposed that wild ani roais of all spits had been changed from menaces fo life and property into objecW of sport for the hunter.
