GEORGIA _NEWS IN PARAGRAPHS.
3 Governor Smith has written State
reasurer R, B, Park a letter author
izing him to distribute the money ac
cruing from convict hire for the first
quarter of 1909, and the last quarter
of the lease, amounting to about $93,
000, to those counties which did not
take convicts under the old law, Gov
ernor Smith takes the view that
since the near beer tax fund has in
creased to more than $200,000, there
is no necessity for retaining this mon
ey in the treasury for the expensew.
of the prison department. On the oth
er hand, it is said the prison commis
sion thinks the near beer tax should
be used to purchase a state farm for
the white convicts, and that as much
as is necessary from the amount re
ceived from conviet hire should be re
tained for the expenses of the peni
tentiary department, It is sald to be
the governor's purpose to draw a war
rant for the amount at an early date,
and direet its distribution in accord
ance with the custom prevailing un
der the lease plan,
The bureau of animal industry of
the United States department of ag
riculture has finally consented to ve
turn to the work of destroying the
cattle tick in certain Georgia counties,
wtih the understanding that the state
will co-operate in the work to a rea
sonable extent through appropriations
and otherwise, The dejurtment, how
ever, is not going Lo wait for that,,
and with a view to arranging for Im
mediate prosecuticn of the work in
five north Georgia counties which
have been recently quarantined
against iniected cattlee, Dr. E M
Neibbert, rerpesenting the depart
ment in Georgia and Scuth Carolina,
had a lengthy ccnference with Assis
tant Commissioner cf Agriculiure R.
F. Wright., It is the understanding
that the work is new to be prosecut
ed in five north Georgia counties,
Stephens, White, Habersham, Fannin
and Franklin. Any infected cattle
found in these counties are to be put
in quarantine and the premises clear
ed of infection. Moreover, the coun
ties themselves are to be strongly
quarantined against cattle coming in
from the outside. The state has em
ployed a number of inspectors, but
kas now only a very =mall surd for
this purpcse. The government bu
reau, however, will put at least two’
experts on the work, and it will be
prosecuted with all possible dispatch.
Governor Smith has addressed a
letter to the railroad commission urg
ing that body to order a reduction of
5 cents per 100 pounds in the rates on
cotton shipped from interior points to
the Georgia ports. The governor call
ed attention to this matter in connec
tion with the port rate hearing which
'is to come up before the commission
in May. He stated that in his opin
jon the rates on cottun from interior
poiuts to the ports are now unrea
sonably high, and he considered a
general reduction of 5 cents per 100
pounds. The commission may take
the matter up in connection with the
port rate hearing, but in view of the
importance of the question it is alto
gether likely that a special hearing
upon it may be had.
The number of famous artists whe
are to sing at the great Southern Mu
sic festival, in Atlanta, May 4, 5 and
6, has been increased until they now
number sixteen, Of these who have
been recently added, Geraldine Far
rar is one of the most celebrated and
popular, She is the one American
singer who has risen to a popularity
‘in Europe equal to that of any Eu
ropean genius. She began her train
ing when she was just twelve years
old, at the age of ninetene she was
singing before the emperor of Ger
many and winning his enthusiastic
applause. She has now returned to
her native land and will appear for
the tirst time in the south. The oth
er additional singers are Zonatello,
the great Italian - tenor; Antonio
Scotti, the greatest baritcne in the
world; Ricardo Martin and Mary
Lansing.
It has been decided to disband
Company 1, fifth infantry, national
guard of Georgia, known as the Ath
ens Guards. Adjutant General A. J.
Scott has already ordered the com
pany to turn in to the state -all of
the military property in its posses
sion, and the formal order of disband
ment will be issued within the next
sow days. General inecfliciency is giv
en as the cause of disbanding the
corapany which has been long in the
state service. The Guard were in
spected by Major F. L. Palmer on
March 30, but it is stated the com
pany has ben in bad shape for some
time. So far as it is known now,
this is the only company in the state
which will be dishanded as the result
cos tnis year’s inspections.
The board of trustees at a meeting
in Thomaston made selections of the
plans for the rebuilding of R, E. Lee
institute and Auditorium, which was
recently burned. After thorough ex
aminations of some eight to ten plans
submitted the plans and specifications
of Architect Eugene C. Wachendorff
of Atlanta were adopted.
According to estimates that will be
placed officially in DBradstreet’s com
mercial reports, the population of
Macon is conservatively placed ut
50,000. The change will come in the
next reperts that will come in the
~early spring. :

State may Itam: Out
Rabies by Dog Muzzles.
Atlanta, Ga,—lf a plan for muzzling
dogs for the period of cne year, sug:
gested by Dr, J, Edger Paullin, in
charge of the Pasteur department of
the state board of health, in a paper
read before the Georgia Medical As
sociation at Macon, is carried out by
legislative enactment during the com
ing session of the general assembly,
it is believed that rabies and hydro
phobia can be practically stamped out
in the state of Georgia in a short
time,
Dr, Paulin® address was recelved
with great enthusiasm by the mem
bers of the association, and a resolu
tion of Dr, Eugene Smith of Atlanta
to authorize the committee of the as
sociation on public policy and legis
lation to support and strongly urge
the passage of a law at the nexi ses
sion of the legislature for the muz
zling of all dogs was passed by unan
imous vote,
The alarming increase of rabies in
the state during the past year makes
necessary some such legislative en
actment as that suggested by Dr. Pau
lin,’ more than 3500 cases of rabies
communicated to persons by the bites
of rabid dogs were treated by him
in the Pasteur department of the
state board of health during 1908, This
number dees not include those (for it
is sad to relate that there are sucih),
who ignorantly rely on the supposed
power of mad-stones and die in the
vain’ search for relief from such
methods.
So thoroughly did the paper read
by Dr. Paulin voice the sentiment
of the association that a vote of
thanks was passed by the organiza
tion, with the request that the ad
dress be published in such form that
it may be disseminated broadcast 1c
every nook and corner of the state.
That rabies is rapidly on the in
crease throughout the state of Geoi
gia and throughout the entire nation
cannot be doubted. This appears to
be conclusively proved by a recent
report of the TUnited States Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service
on the subject of hydrophobia. Dur
ing the past year, Dr. Paulin has ex
amined the heads of between 500 and
600 dogs, fully 60 per cent of which
showed unmistakable signs of rabies.
The muzzling of all the dogs in the
state for one year, it is claimed, will
practically wipe out rabies in the
| state. In this particular it is sug
gested that each city sell a muzzle
to the owner of every dog instead
of charging a dog tax and in this
way as much revenue can be raised
as by the tax system and much more
good can be accomplished.
During one year all the cases of
rabies in the state would be developed
a‘gn_al exterminated by this method, it
i€™*claimed, if a rigorously enforced
law is back of the movement and
every dog is muzzled.
‘ As Georgia has South Carolina,
Tenessee, Alabama and Florida as
neighboring and adjacent states, ra
'bies would undoubtedly be introduced
into the state by border passage. This
be prevented by legislation for muz
zling in every state or by quaran
tine, :
Georgia Railroad Seeks to
Increase Passenger Rates.
Atlanta, Ga.—General Manager T.
K. Scott, General Passenger Agent A.
@G. Jackson and Major Joseph B. Cum
ming, attorney for the Georgia Rail
road and Banking Company, appear
ed before the railroad commission,
and presented argument in behalf of
the company’s petition asking permis
sion to increase its rate of passen
ger fare from 2 14 to 2 1-2 cents
per mile,
Among other things, the officials
showed that last year the lessees fail
ed by $290,000 to earn sufficient rev
enue to pay the annual rental of
$600,000, The commission heard the
arguments made, and postponed fur
ther hearing of the case until Thurs
day, May 13. In the meantime the
secretary of the commission was in
structed to send out notices to all the
cities and towns on the line of the
Georgia Railroad in order that any
who may desire to do so may bhe
heard in opposition to the railroad
company’'s request.
Gevernor Smith Not a ;
. Candidate for Any Office.
Atlanta, Ga.—Governor Smith will
resume the practice of law after he
retires from office as chief executive
of the state,
That much is now known pcsitively,
from statements which the governor
is said to have made to intimate
friends.
. “I am not a.candidate for any of
fice, and do not contemplate enter
ing any contest,” the governor is re
ported to have said to a friend a few
days ago, while telling of his plans
for the future.
But it is known that the governor
will continue to take a lively interest
in the affairs of the state and will let
himseli be heard from time to time
on such matters as he ccnsiders re
lated to the welfare of Georgia.
Extermination of Cattle Tick
Planned by State Department.
Atlanta, Ga.—Following the confer
ence of the cattle raisers, dairymen,
planters and cotton seed crushers,
held at Athens, where strong resolu
tions were adopted, calling upon the
citizens of the state io co-operate
more strongly with the State Col
lege of Aé’riculture and the State
Department of Agriculture to induce
more cattle raising in Georgla, it will

How to Increase the Yield of Fruit
Increased fruit crops are more often the result of good manage
ment than of good luck. Fruit trees and fruit plants need a liberal
supply of
°“® C .
Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers
The trees absorb plant foods—that is, nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash—from the soil just the same as any other crop. Experi
ence has shown this over and over again. This truth has become so
well recognized that “ return to the land what the tree removes if you
would expect the best results ” has become an axiom with the best
growers.
Apple, pear, peach, orange and other fruit trees soon respond to
careful fertilization. But be sure to use the best fertilizers.
«1 made a test with other companies’ fertilizers,” says Mr. H. O.
Lowry, of Manatee County, F la, and yours proved to be the best.
The yield where I used Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer, was just twice as
much as where the other two companies’ fertilizer was used.”
Hundreds of users say Vi.rginia'-Carolina Fertilizers are cheapest
because of their good qualities—give better satisfaction and quicker
results.
Many facts of great interest and value to fruit growers are pub
lished in the new 1909 Farmers’ Year Book, a copy of which will be
sent free on application to any of our sales offices.
