MILITARY FUND HAS REVERTED.=
o e ¢ oz
$53,597.72 Unexpended Balance Goes
~ Back Into State Treasury.
Atlanta, Ga.—An unexpended bal
ance of the state military fund ap
propriated by the legislature, amount
ing to $33,597.72, 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.!)
The DRavis Bill to Aid |lndustrial
: 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 &n
--nually. Beginning 1911 nations grants
of 10 cents per capita for aid in es
tablishing city and rural technical
high schools, to include instruction in
practical agriculture, industrial sc.-
ences and oils and domestic subjects.
This latter appropriation will give to
Georgia about $250,000 annually tor
secondary industrial schools. Lec
every Goorgian write to his congress
man and scnator to support this bill.
It will make possible the full devel
opment of our district agricultural
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 time, Tt is but a continuation
of the agricultural college. grants o
secondary schools. The development
of our district agricultural schocls
lead to the introduction of this bill.
The educational leaders in every
county arnd town should begin to pre
pare for this industrial training. They
should have the buildings ready and
the local support guaranteed., ‘l'ne
constitution does not. forbid districts,
‘towns or counties from taxing them
gselves for\ high schools. The slaie
may not @d them, however—-J. 8.

STATE GLEANINGS.
Caruso, the famous Itallan tenor,
will receive SIO,OOO for singing two
nights at the Great Southern Music
fostival in Atlanta next May, His
vigit 10 the south will mark the first
ocegsion, with cne 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
vizit 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 tl.> most re
nowned singers, violinists and plan.
ists in the werld, 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 1o extend
the road fifty miles, from Kingsland
to Wayeross, and 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 Dbroken all
records, Last ycar the receipts for
the entire season were 110,000, This
season they have already gcne to
112,000 bales and will go to 115,000
by the end of the season, Thus Ath
ens still maintains her pogition as the
cecond 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
stroved. 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 fer the purpose of urg
ing the United States department of
agriculture to resume the work of
eradicating the cattle tick. Georgia
has refused to make an appiopriation
to assist in its conduct. Il 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 scme ex
tent by state appropriation, but 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 Wilscn was most
favorably disposed toward Mr. Hud
son's reguest. 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 Henorable Gordon Lee will be still
further complicated by the entry of
a republican candidate, @&t 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 noct 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
ired 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, aged 22 wyears, a
voung farmer living in Chattooga
county, put a pistol ball through his
head causging 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 hoclding conventions and other
great public gatherings, It covers a
whole city square and can seat nearly
eight thousand people, It will Dbe
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
zer, the Viennese pianist and about a
dozen other famous vocalists and per
formers will appear. The rdilroads
