TERRELL TAKES REINS OF GREAT STATE AT SESSION YESTERDAY NEW GOVERNOR lUGURAP THE CEREMONIES, WHILE BIM PLE WERE VERY IM PRESSIVE. 4 The New Governor's Address Was Quite Short But to the Point. Oath Administered by Chief . Justice Symons. Atlantal. October 25.—Governor- Joseph M. Terrell was made governor at noon today. Committees were appointed yester day both by the house and senate to arrange, tor the inauguration ceremo nies. wnich took place at noon before a joint session of the senate and 'house in the hall of the house of rep resentatives. President, Clark Howell, of the sen ate. presided Rev, John R. White, m the Second Baptist chureh. offered the prayer, and after the object fo the, session was stated, overnor-eleet Ter rell delivered his inaugural address, wnich was short and to tho point. The new governor took the oath of office administered by Chief Justice T. J. Simmons. rln-aiiwaompoin eta&hrd etAtmUaiaa One of Governor Terrell s first offi cial acts was to administer the oath ef office tot Judge John C. Hart, the new attorney general. Attorney Gen eral Boykin Wright ‘ made arrange ments to turn or that oifiee to Judge Hart as soon as Mr. Terrell was inau gurated. The other state house offi cers who have been re-elected were also sworn in by Governor Terrell. His inaugural Address. Mr. President and Members of the General Assembly. The practically unanimous election as chief executive with which I have been Honored by my fellow citizens Is a tribute of the people of all parties and all classes to the principles and policies which have controlled the democratic party in the management of our state government, and not to the Individual selected as the repre seniaive of these principles and poli cies. Such an election not only adds to the responsibilities and duties which attach to the office of Gov ernor, bus will impel me to put forth every effort to meet those responsibil ities and discharge those duties with out fear, favor or affection and witn the sole purpose to properly advance each and every interest of the state and of all her people. The desire that shall ever ire present, and which shad always control me in the discharge of my official duties will be to protect tue honor of my state and promote the welfare of her people. To accomplisn this end I invoke your valuable assist ance in needed legislation, and in vile ihe cooperation ol al, my fellow citizens. Reduction of Taxes. From time immemorial it has been the custom before his induction into office or the governor-elect to pule licly announce the more prominent features of those policies which in his* Judgment will beat subserve the good of the people. I shall not now under take to outline in detail those meas ures wnich 1 deem paramount, arid for the furtherance of which I shall bend a,l my energies, but standing now upon the very threshold of the execu tive office, and wi>;h a knowledge of the responsibilities and duties which await me as governor of one of the greatest states in the American union and being impressed with tne magni tude and character of those responsi bilities and duties, I declare to you that in my judgment the supreme in terest of the state and the people lies in the reduction of the rate of taxa tion and in providing better educa tional advantages for the children of the state. How to Do it. The reduction of the tax rate can be obtained and the best interest of the sitate subserved by an economical administration of its affairs, by cut ting off all unnecessary appropria tions, by the faithful execution of our present tax laws, and by needful amendments to those laws so as to make every specie of property bear it fair and equitable share of the bur den of taxation as contemplated by the constitution. As the individual and tho corporation alike may confidently look to the law for protection, so should each in turn contribute such a just proportion to the support and maintenance of the .government. Prompt Pay for Teachers. Our educational system can be vast ly improved and tho best interest of the state and of the children thereof advanced by promptly paying the common school teachers in accord ance with their contracts, by pro viding a plan whereby militia or school districts may supplement the public fund by local taxation for the purpose of extending the term, or of erecting school house, and by estab lishing and maintaining in each con gresionail district of the state an agri cultural school, not tnrough the me dium of increased taxation, hut. by using the uqt. fees arising from it lie inspection of commercial fertilizers. The loss which such an application of these fees would entail upon the common school fund can be more than supplied by an inermase in the hire of the labor of the state convicts. This inc rease we may reasonably ex peel from contracts necessary to txi made in tne near future. Every prin ciple of justice and equity requires that these fees lie so expended as will tend to the advancement and upbuild ing of the cause*,, of agriculture throughout ithe state, and certainly nothing more lieipfu, UFjlnat great -interest' than *to furnish the means whereby our young men and women may fully equip themselves for this most important work. Upon the success' 1 ?>f agriculture depends our future prosperity, and nothing would contribute more to its promo tion than the intelligent teaching and training of those who may engage in that pursuit. It is my purpose at this time to merely outline these two prominent subjects, in each of which our people of all conditions, classes and ages are vitally interested. I refrain now from going into other details affecting eith er of the government, I will, as these and otner subjects may require the attention of the general assembly, seek a more appropriate manner to communicate to you my views. And now’, relying upon the provi dence of that Godi who controls the destiny of all nations and of a.i poo pie to endow me with wisdom to per form the duties which 1 am about to assume, with both justice and moder ation, 1 am ready to take the oatli oi office which the constitution pre scribes for the governor. BITTEN BY A RATTLE SNAKE. Negro at St. Simons Then Drinks Whiskey and Has Gay Time. St. Simon, October 25.—John Stu art, a weil known negro fisherman of this place, was bitten by a rattle snake a few days ago, and, as a result, the unfortunate negro came, very neait dying.

B.Ferguson, K. of R. & S. of Oglethorpe Lodge K. of P„ of this city, appeared in a re cent issue of the Atlanta Journal, and will be of interest in Brunswick lodge cireie generally. Oglethorpe i.odge. No. 24, and Roth bone Sisters N0.5, of Brlnswick, Qa., are sailing very smootniy. VVe have no great rush of members coining in, but we always have some work on hand. Oglethorpe gave . *ie second last Friady night and received two ap plications. Tne Kathbone Sisters are also doing some good work. It is far better to have a steady in crease in members than to have a rush and before you know it have a ENTHUSIASM LACKING BY BOTH PARTIES IN NATIONAL CAMPAIGN great number of meinjjors. but not a Knight of Bylinas among them— members id 1 tne lodge in name only, who pay their diues but never show their faces in the lodge room for months and months, and in some casta years. It is very notice aide, however, that members of this kind are. the first to “howl” if any thing goes wrong. Ratlibone lodge No. 45 at their last convent inn adopted a now set of by\ laws to conform to tne grand lodge, laws. They raised their funeral bene fits to $125. thereby proving that their exchequer is in a dealt y condition. Our new postoffice building is now’ going up rapidly and when finished will be quite an ornament to our Ut ile city the sea. Oglethorpe lodge No. 24 owns an ewani lot just (u-roiLj fllte stm;t from the new postoffice and we are now looking forward to a handsome castle lia.ll on il in tue near future.

O. O. F., ol Hiunswiek is in very soon. A NOVEL BILL. All Executions to Take Place at Mil ledgeville. A recent hanging in Rlberlon, which, in spite of precaution!) to keep il private, was witnessed by hundreds of people, causing the domarlizatiou chat usually follows such a &ig.n, is evidently responsible for (he follow ing editorial that appeared in the last issue of the iolberO.ii Star: “At tho approaching session of the legislature, Elbert's honored represen tative, Captain Peyton M. Hawes, will introduce a bill requiring all persons sentenced lo bang to be taken to the state prison farm and there executed. The bill will provide for the erection and maintenance of a permanent gil low, and all criminals, from each and every county, sentenced to he nanged shall Ik- taken to this place and there executed. "The bill is eminently a proper one. Very few counties in the state are pre pared lo carry out the sentence ol court in having a private execution, and public executions have long since been declared and accepted as out ol place and demoralizing. The good re sults flowing from such a requirement as Uie one Captain Hawes will seek lo have enacted into law will over come the extra cost in taking the criminal to the prison farm. Yet mis cost will be overbalanced, as, wniie in each county it cosis to maintain an l guard a person sentenced to death, uiis all can be done by one sot, of guards resident at me nun. “Looking at tile measure in every ,va> wc are greatly pleased with it, and trust that it will be enacted into iiW."

IHE ELECTION IS NEXT MONTH BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLI CANS, AS USUAL, CLAIM- A VICTORY. Little Money is Being Put in the Cam paign by Either Side— What the Changces Are For the Democ rats. Wahnington, October 25—There is a marked absence of interest, and on tliusiasin in tho pending political cam paign, and the managers on both sides •>( the partisan fence are unhappy. Both parties are "hard up" for the sinews of war. and the boys who make a business of getting behind Ihe bal lots refuse to go to work except for a mil coniileralion. The dividing lines between Idle two great national parties are so dimly outlined that thousands and inousuiidn of conservative voters are indifferent a to whether the demo crats or the republicans carry) the next house of representatives. Clio coal strike promised to cut au important figure in the coming elec tion, especially in Pennsylvania, New Yoili, New Jersey, Maryland and V\ ml Vii l'giiiia. Tho indications now are thati ihe strike will be settled be lore election day and neither party will have lean zed any material ad vantage from the threatened coal fam ine. Both parlies have suffered g, disadvantages during the past mon or Iwo from the agitation of tue coal war. Polities has been swept aside and even the most attractive .spell binders sent out. upon the political Highway to "whoop up" the voters had to lie called in, because of lack of in terest in ihe compaign. Strike news had a monopoly in a,i of the leading newspapers of the country, and politics seemed to be a dead issue for the time being. Stren uous efforts will be made during tiro remaining two weeks before election to work up some excitement oyer the contest for possession of the the next House ot representatives. The outlook ior a sensational finish is not promis mg, as both tne republican and dem ocratic congressional committees are iinancialiy embarrassed. The demo crats have to depend eutuely loyal and generously disposed mein oers of the parly for contributions, ihe latter class of democrats appears .0 be woefully small ibis season, rne republicans have Continued tlieir proc ure ot assessing representatives of mvured corporations and trusts, but me responses have seen neither num erous nor satisfying. Tney h aV e even resorted to the old-time pruo uee ol levying ussosmeuiis upon gov ernment employes, but tue civil aer nie commission stepped in witn a pi meet, so mat tue laoorers in Uuciu oarn s vineyard hardly know what m expected or them. Naturally they „u nut line the mua or "giving up" Ui a campaign lurid with tue price u| luet ami suosisteuce running a neck ami neck race with their limited income. In spite ot the discouraging condi tions tne democratic iniuagers Ua\e ueen industriously and effectively at work sine, tne campaign opened, an i a is now conceded that the democrats nave a good ilgntiug chance of mg the next house. UepiesenUi ive Babcock and l„s repuoli an seen ta nes do met admit it, but some equally levelheaded members y: taut, party, look forward to such a result, because oi the dissensions in i* e par.y throughout Die west -Hid Die north west. It is fair to assume, at any uito, that even if the democrats do LU capture tne house, they will cut dm republican majority and blaze fna way for possible democratic success at the next presidential election. Important Meeting. The city council will hold a rather important session tomorrow night and several subjects of general interest will oe taken up and disposed of,
