and five for acquittal on the ground

January 23 bas been trying Harry
K. Thaw reported Friday afternoon
after forty-seven hours and eight
minutes of deliberation that it could
not possibly agree. The twelve men
were promptly discharged by Justice
Fitzgerald, who declared that he, too-
believed their task hopeless. Thaw
was remanded to the Tombs with-
out bail to await a second trial on
the charge of having murdered Stan-
ford White.
When this new trial will take place
no one connected with the case could
express an opinion. District Attor-
ney Jerome declared that there were
many other persons accused of homi-
cide awaiting trial and ‘that Thaw
would have to take his turn. -
As to a possible change of venue
both the district attorney and colinsel
for Thaw declared they would make
mo such move. Thaw’s attorneys
will have o conference with the
prisoner to decide upon thelr next
step. They may make an early appli-
cation tor bail, Mr, Jerome said
that he will strenuously oppose it
He added that as seven of the jurors
had voted for “guilty,” bis’ opposition
probably would be successful. In
that event, Thaw has another loug
summer before him in the city pris-
on, for his case on the already cruwd-
ed criminal calendar cannot possi-
bly be reached untir fall.
The scenes attending the announce-.
ment by the jury of its inability to
agree were robbed of theatricalism by
the general belief that after their
long deliberation anu the reports of
a wide division of sentiment, the sur-
ors could make no other report,
Thaw, surrounded by the members
of “bis family—the devoted aged
mother, the pale young wife, the ti-
_ ted sister—the countess of Yarmouth
—Mrs. George Carnegie and Edward
and_Josiah Thaw, the brothers, re-
celved the news in absolute silence,
Thaw’s wife gripped her husband's
hands tightly as the jury foreman
spoke, and then when he sank down
by her side, she tried to cheer nim
as best she could by saying that she
believed he would now be admitted
to bail, and that a second ‘jury would
surely set bim free,
The mother, the sisters and the
brothers, pale aud well-nigh exhaust-
ed by their tedious, nerve-racking
wait for a verdict, smiled weakly at
Thaw as he was led away again to
the Tombs. They were permitted to
speak with him for a few moments
to bid him be of good cheer before
he crossed the “bridge of sighs” to
the cell, which until a few minutes
before he had hoped he was about to
quit forever,
Outside the big square criminal
courts building only a few hundred
persons were gathered. Thousands
had been there earlier in thé day,
but the police had instructions to
keep every one moving, and this
Soon tired the idly curious,
Thaw, when he had returned to
the Tombs, gave out the following
statement:
“I believed that every man In the
Jury possessing average intelligence,
excepting possibly Mr. Bolton, com-
Drehended the weight of ‘evidence and
balanced it for acquittal. All of my
family, bid me goodby with courage.
I trust (D. V.) we may all keep
well.”
TO DISFRANCHISE NEGROES

ida Constitution.
The Florida senate Tuesday adopt-
ed a resolution to amend’ section 3,
article 6, of the constitution of the
state of Florida, by which the four-
teenth and filteenth amendments were

STEVENS TALKS CANAL.
Former Chief Engineer Arrives Home
and Says Sea Level Waterway
- ‘Wilt Come in Time.
John F. Stevens, who recently re-
signed as chief engineer of the ‘Pana-
ma, canal, arrived at New York Sat-
urday on the steamer Panama from
Colon. Mr. Stevens declined ‘to talk
about the work on the Isthmus. It
is his present plan to take a long
rest, ingluding a trip to Europe be-
fore again engaging in active busl-
ness. Mr. Stevens said he was great-
ly flattered by the send-off given him
by 3,000 canal employes when he left
Colon. “I retired on the best of
terms with my fellow employes," he
said.
When Mr. Stevens was informed
that a story had teu published to
the effect that his resignation was due
to a realization that the canal never
would be completed, he replied:
“That's nonsense. ‘The caasl <will
be competed just as sure as jou are
alive.” fe
Asked as to whether he thought
tae canal eventually would be of the
sea level type, he replied:
“Undoubtedly, 10 time”
Mr. Stevens sald he resigned for
purely personal reasons. The report
that the cana! will never be bulit
because there was no rock foundation
for it, Mr. Stevens sald: .
“dt is all rot,” adding: “The founda-
tions on the isthmus are as good as
in New York city.”
“Will you seé the president in
Washington?” he was asked, .
“If he wants to see me, he will
hnow where to find me,” said the
chief engineer. “I have done my
share of the work cn the cansl and
1 am willing that some one else should
take a hand.
“The people of the United States
should get the idea out of their heads
that the canal work is not progréss-
ing. It is gomg on splendidly.” _

night on 1,463 counts out of the orlg-
inal 1,903 In the indictments. The re-
maining 440 counts were dropped from

with having violated, provides a fine
of $1,000 to $20,000 for each offense.
Pending the decision on a motion

After being hissed fm Tuesday’s
meeting of the Continental Congress
of the Daughters ‘of the American
Revolution sat Washington, Mrs, Don-
ald McLean, the presideat-general of
the soctety, at the night session, fall-
ed to secure the endorsement of her
home state of New Yurk for re-elec-
tion. Despite” expectations, a battle
royal over a propdsal to endorse her
candidacy, the question was not
brought before the meeting. Mrs.
Charles H. Terry of Brooklyn was
elected vice president general for
New York state. Mrs. Terry is a
supporter of Mrs. McLean.
During a controversy in the morn-
ing session between Mrs. McLean and
Mrs, M. B.-S, -Davis, the treasurer
general, when the latter asked for

report, many of the delegates hissed
Mrs. McLean when she remarked
that the treasurergeneral’s report
“seemed to be up in the alr.”
: The name of Mrs. Ellen Washing-
ton, it was announced by “insurgent
leaders,” probably will be presented
as a candidate for president-general.
The reports regarding financial ‘in-
vestments of the socisty were brought
out in the report of the treasurer
general, Mrs. M, E. S. Davis, which
was submitted Tuesday afternoon.
“The question as to the investment of
a portion of the society's funds In
raflrord bonds has been a bone of con-
tention among some of the delegates,
it belng openly charged by Mrs. Da-
vis that the investments had been
made in “insecure speculation.” The
_Teport showed that the society has a
total of $24,477 in Baltimore aud Ohio
and Union Pacific railroad bonds. Mrs.
Davis stated that she was not con-
sulted about the purchase of these
bonds, and that she pald out checks
for the investment on the recommen-
dation of the flnance committee, The
report points out that if the bonds
were sold now, this would be a loss
of $502 as a result of the deprecation
of the market value of bonds or a
net loss to April 11 of $271,
Mrs. Ellen Spencer Bussey of
Washington stated that the bonds had
been purchased by the finance com-
mittee only after it had sought the
advice of the most reliable financial
experts ‘in New York city. The report
was referred to the proper commit-
tte for consideration.

BY FRAUD LABELS
Food and Drug Makers are
Cheating the People.
IS ASSERTION OF WILSON
Secretary of Agriculture’ Declares De-
ception is Being Widely Practic-
ed, and He Proposes to Ex-
pose the Guilty Parties.
“If these outragedus misrepresenta-
tons do not cease, the department
will publish a Ist bearing the names
of manufacturers, who ate indulging
in this campaign of deception,”
‘This remark was uttered by Becre-
tary Wlison of the department of ag-
riculture, in an authorized statement
at Washington, ‘and was brought
forth by the fact that there had come
to his knowledge information that
a number of manufacturers of foods
and drugs were freely advertising
that the United States government
was guaranteeing their products. The
secretary said that the ‘serlal num-
ber and guarantee required, by the
pure food and drug act, to be placed
on food and drug products were be-
ing used by these manufacturers for
this purpose.
“The serial number,’ sald Secretary
Wilson, “is assigned to fix the re
sponsibility, where it belongs—upon
the manufacturers—and to protect In-
nocent dealers, who have a right, un-
der the law, to rely upon his guar-
anty. It is the guarantee of the man-
ufacturer, not the guarantee of the
government.”
The secretary declared that every
effort would be made by the depart
ment to put a stop to these state
ments.
“L will do a Ittle advertising my-
self, “he said, “in behalf of the peo-
ple. I am growing tired of seeing
these untruthful statements on the
advertising pages of the magazines,
the walls of the New York subway,
and the advertising space of street
cars of the principal cities. Manufac-
turers who will deceive the public
about the guaranty will Ie about
the quality of their product.”
He added that the law, was to be
administered fairly, and that no hon-
est manufacturer need fear that the
department will take “snap judgment”
on him, or harrass him In any way.
CALLED DOWN BY CARNEGIE.
Sharp Debate Entivens Session of the
. Peace Conference.
At the peace meeting at Carnegie
hall in New York Monday night Pro-
fessor Hugo Munsterberge, who holds
the chair of philosophy at Harvard
university, called down upon his head
the criticism of Andrew Carnegie by
stating that conscription was not look
ed upon as a hardship in Germany.
The professor made the statement
to emphasize his point that universal
peace should be looked upon not as
a material but as a moral matter:
‘Mr. Carnegie, in replying, called at-
tention to the thousands of people
who are sald to have come to Amer-
ica to escape military service, and
added that no one could make kim
believe that it was not this burden
of conscription that caused by far
the greatest part of German Imml-
gration. Mr, Carnegie sald;
“That statement was one of the
greatest surprises that I have ever
had. I wish he would go to our mills
at Pittsburg and ask the thousands
if men there why they come here. It
{s too late in the day for any pro-
fessor to tell me that conscription is
not a burden.”

that the peach crop in Georgia Is a

the fruft In that section is killed.
Mr. Smith recetved a telephone
message from Adairsville, one of the,
largest péach-shipping potats in North
Georgia, to the effect that 80 per
cent of the crop there was killed
Sunday. It was stated that the fruit
was practically all right until that.

which came then finished it.
Mr. Smith ts sending out letters to
all the peach-growing sections of the
state making inquirly as to the ex-
tent of damage done the crop, and
expects to have definite information
about the matter the latter part of

A. M, Kitehen, a well known peach-
grower of Baldwin, Habersham coun-
ty, stated that bis county would
seatcely turn out a single crate of
peaches this year. :
*“Thero is not a crate of peaches
left on my place,” he sald, “and 1
am satisfled there fs not in Haber-
sham county. I am satisfied the loss
Jn Habersham county alone this year
will be $250,000.
“Of course I know only what I have
heard as to other sections of the
state, but the indications all point to
@ general destruction of the peach
crop by the recent severe and con-
tinued cold weather.”
J. A. Hall, of Calhoun, superin-
tendent of public buildings and
grounds of\Georgia, who has peach In-
terests In his section, says he is
satisfied there is mot a crate of
peaches left !n Gordon county. They
have had practically wihter weather
for the past ten days or two weeks,
he sald, and it has seen impossible
for them to survive It.
The temperature recorded broke
April records for more than twenty
years. Cotton has been the heaviest
sufferer. In consequence of the phe
nomenally early season, many iiclda
in “South Georgia had been planted
for a sufficient length of time for the
Plants to be well above the ground,

half that price.

BIG MOB IS DEFIED
By Strike-Breakers in Montgomery Who Refused to Obey Orders et Strikers to Leave Town.
With the announced Intention of driving E. C. Curry, the famous Chicago strike-breaker, out of Montgomery, Ala., three hundred striking street car men and their sympathizers made a demonstration in the down-town districts Monday night which requir ed several platoons of police to disperse.
Curry and Joseph Peeples, a minor official of the company, were eating supper in a restaurant early in the evening when the place was surrounded by strikers who called to Curry that he had to leave Montgomery by 9 o'clock. When Curry and Peeples left the place the hostile crowd closed in on them crying "Scabs," "scabs," and using other epithets. Curry and Peeples with drawn pistols backed into a corner and defied the crowd, Curry saying that when he left Montgomery against his will it would "be in a pine box."
Squads of police were rushed to the scene and sticks were freely used to disperse the mob. S.K. Fleming, deputy organizer of the street car union, reached the scene, and urging the men to follow, took them to the room of the police court where he addressed the assembly, counselling moderation in speech and action. Officers of the traction company declare that if names of the men who started the demonstration can be secured they will be prosecuted. Street cars are running on full schedules.
FLOATING IN THE HARBOR.

The police are investigating the case.

Every farmer wants to know to a cent the value of what he buys and sells, and should not leave this to be figured by the party with whom he is dealing. As labor saving machinery has been invented to save time and physical strength, so there are devices to enable the mind to reach quickly and accurately results usually arrived at with much thought and tedious calculation. Time is worth much, but accuracy is still more important.
much, but accuracy is still more important. Many books have been prepared to make the task of calculating easy, its results sure, but never one fitted to all men, in all kinds of business, at all times, so completely as "ROPP'S NEW COMMERCIAL CALCULATOR." This reliable assistant to the farmer and others has been in the market for many years, and nearly a million and a half copies have been sold. The last edition (160 pages) is from beginning to end filled with tables, short cuts, and up-to-date methods of calculating, making it the most complete, useful and comprehensive work of the kind ever published. It will make every one independent, sure and self-reliant in all practical calculations connected with farming and other lines of business. It will prevent mistakes, relieve the mind, save time, labor and loss. It is a pocket edition with pocket for papers and a loose silicate slate from which lead pencil marks are easily erased, and is an invaluable assistant for every farmer or business man.

ERegister J. W. Lyons.
* One of the most level-headed
representative men in this coun
try is Ex-Register J. W Lyons
of Georgia, the National Com.
mitteeman of that State. Mr
Lyons is not saying much but he
is doing a great deal of thinking
and the colored people through-
out this country are waiting to
hear from him. He always
makes the proper political pre-
diction and it is quite evident
that his opinicn will be asked by
his people at the proper time,
Mr. Lyons in the McKinley cam-
paign, was the head and front
of the Negro politicians in this
country and today his opinion
is asked for more than any other
colored lepublican in the
United States. He is the only
colored National Committeeman
the colored Republicans have
and it is believed that he will
give the proper advice At the
proper time.— Washington Bee.
Don‘t Betray Your Friends
ingratitude 1s no doubt the
-yery worst thing that a person
can commit. it is almost a
crime, and the greatest punish
ment for such an offence is your
conscience. ‘That is, you _be-
come conscience stricken. Yet
we see friends betrayed daily.
Wesee the benefactors of per-
sons cast aside and new friends
come to the front.
We have never known it to
fail. Retribution makes ite
appearance and then the victim
sees his mistake and blunder.
We should never forget those
who once helpedus. A wrong
can never prosper, no matter
how successful for a time you
may be, If you have a friend
stick to him. The grateful man
or woman will always come to
you in the hour of need. Al.
ways keep in mind what has
been done for you and how you
have succeeded in life by the aid
of those who could help you
If you do you will never betray
your friends.—Bee.

Among the Masons
With Masons the ballot ia as sacred as
wellas secret. In carrying out its func-
tions personal and any other kind of feel-
‘ing sheuld be forgotten and only the can-
didate’s fitness for membership should
be acted upon.
Worldly honors and wealth are not re-
garded by Masons unless backed up by
the internal qualification that makes the
man. Therefore there should be no out
ward display in masonry. Shewy pins
and regallas count for nanght unless the
principles of the erder are implanted in
the heart,

warded returns without the fees. In each

in love and position and in responsibility
and reward according to our several abili-
ties—cquals as children of the same fam-
ly are equal. To one is given five talents
io anéther two talents, to another one
talent, If we have five talents, we must
gain another five also; and if we have but
one talent we are required to gain only
one other talent, To each shall come a
full reward if we are faithful. Brother,
are you improving your taleat?
Charity and integrity are 2 Mason's
brightest jewel...
Let us elevate the standard of Masonry.
To-morrow will be the anaual Thanke-
giving Day of the O. E. S. Exch Chapter

The Fox Dance
One of the most successful entertainments, in point of attendance and otherwise was that of the Fox Club on Thursday evening of last week at the Harris Street hall. This club is one of recent organization and its popularity and hold on the pleasure seeking population are attested by the record breaking attendance last week. So dense was the crowd that it was difficult for the dancers to have found space on the floor. The music was good and the members of the committee saw that each guest had an enjoyable time. Whenever the Fox Club announces an entertainment, it is supposed to draw a crowd.

Atlanta University Club. The annual meeting of the University club held on the 10th inst., was a most harmonious and enthusiastic one. The attendance was fair and everyone present seemingly moved by a common impulse and imbued with a spirit of helpfulness, spoke a good word for the club, and was willing to do whatever good that lie in his or her power for the University. Much interest was evinced in the club's present work, and gratification expressed for the accomplishments during the past year. It was the opinion of all present and was finally agreed upon that, during the present year, literary features should be added in order to increase the interest and to strengthen the work of the club. A committee was appointed and the public may rest assured of a highly entertaining and creditable program in the near future. Nearly twenty dollars were subscribed at this meeting and it is expected that the other members who have not, will make and pay their subscriptions on or about the 1st of May. There will be another meeting of the club after Teachers' Normal on the first Wednesday in May. During the past year which were the club's first, more than forty-six dollars was sent to the university. The officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows: Pres., Prof. J. H. C. Butler; V. Pres., Prof. Jno McIntosh; Treas., Mrs. S. J. Butler; Rec. Sec., E. A Overstreet; Cor Sec., Prof. R. W. Gadsden.
The membership of the club is about eighty; its work noble and helpful and the officers can begin their year's work with but bright and auspicious prospects. The club bids fair to become a potent factor for good in the community and will mean much in the way of support and extension of the university work
Death of Mr. Lloyd

The Month of April
Ushers In.
The month of March's in the past
And April ushers in,
Now let the people of the land
Cease from their ways of sin.
How many thousand March has taken
From off this earthly stage,
She carried off both old and young
Regardless of their age.
Some gone to heaven and some gone
to hell,
Oh, what an awful fate;
It makes me shudder while I write,
The number is so great.
Yet like a furious horse in war
Who rushes in to death,
Men seem to disgard the time
When God will stop their breath.
But ah, my friends the time will come
When it will be too late,
For death will snatch your soul away
To meet its awful fate.
And yet men will go heedlessly on
And will not stop to think;
That they are standing as it is were
Upon damnation's brink.
The day will come when you must bid
Your friends a long farewell
And you must from our God be driven
To make your bed in hell.

Comes to Brilliant Close in New York City.
Was Concerted Prayer of the Host of Delegates—Carnegie Given Cross of Legion of Honor by Republic of France.
The first convention of the National Arbitration and Peace Congress came to an end at New York Wednesday night, after a three days' session, with two large banquets, one at the Hotel Astor and the other at the Waldorf-Astoria. The event of greatest interest was the decoration of Andrew Carnegie with the cross of the Legion of Honor by the French government, represented by Baron D'Estournelles De Constant, in appreciation of his work for peace, and his gift of the palace at The Hague. The baron announced in his address at the Waldorf-Astoria banquet that the cross of commodore of the Legion of Honor had been conferred by the French government on Andrew Carnegie, and then proceeded to the banquet at Hotel Astor, where the decoration was formally presented to Mr. Carnegie.
Peace among all peoples, a peace that would be lasting, if not, indeed eternal—that was the ideal raised aloft, to be followed by all nations, by the speakers at the dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria, arranged to close the deliberations of the peace congress.
The American flag hung from the wall at the head of the dining apartment, and around it were suspended the flags of the other nations with here and there banners bearing the coats of arms of the countries that will take part in The Hague conference, and that have taken an active part through their citizenship in the present congress. The floral decorations on the tables were roses and carnations.
After a reception in the Astor hotel gallery, the six hundred guests, who included both men and women, passed into the banquet room. As the company entered the hall, Kremer's "old Netherlands hymn of thanks" was sung by the choral members of the Ruhenstein Club. The singers, all young women, stood in the upper balcony and while singing they waved the flags of all nations. Then while the guests were seating, the choirs rendered "the peace festival hymn." Spectators occupied the boxes in the balconies, and by the time the speaking began, every convenience for listening to the addresses had been taken.
Former Mayor Seth Low of New York, the presiding officer at the dinner, was attended by those who had been requested to speak.
A feature of the dinner was the demarcation of the various tables by countries and states to represent the aspiration of all nations sitting in harmony.
The national costumes of some of the foreign delegates were strongly contrasted with the usual coloring found in the American dress, suggesting the international meaning of the occasion. The brilliant gold brocaded coats of two educational delegates from India, as well as their gold-striped trousers, contrasted with the dress of the delegates from China, and seemed to emphasize the rich coloring of the banquet room.
ALABAMA DOCTORS MEET.
Dr. Senn Paid Glorious Tribute to the Triumph of Medicine.
The Alabama Medical Association convened in Mobile Wednesday with over 200 members present from all parts of the state. The feature of the session was the lecture by Dr. Nicholas Senn of Chicago, on the final triumph of medicine.
DEPUTY SHERIFFS ARRESTED.
Held for Carelessness in Letting a Mob Lynch Negro.
Charged with manslaughter for their alleged carelessness in allowing the negro Charles Strauss to be lynched, Deputy Sheriffs J. E. Keegun and J. J. Salmon were arrested Wednesday at Marksville, La., and placed under $700 bond each. Strauss was hanged in the woods near Eola, La., where a crowd of masked men met the deputies as the latter were escorting the negro to jail.
PEN GUARD KILLS CONVICT.
Three Men Attempted to Escape and One is Laid Low. In an attempt to escape from the state penitentiary at Raleigh, N. C., Wednesday by three young convicts, one of them C. L. Scruggs, was killed by the guard. Jack Williams and Dodd Wilson were recaptured. The men were from Guilford county, and were serving sentences of five years each for larceny and forgery.
PARSON BIFFS ROCKY.
New Pastor of Oil Magnate's Church in Gotham, Just from Liverpool, Eng., to Show No Partiality.
The Rev. C. F. Aked, who comes from Liverpool, England, to accept a call from the Fifth Avenue Baptist church in New York city, arrived Wednesday on the steamer Carmania. Mr. Aked said the only comment he cared to make on his mission to this county was that he felt he had delayed his coming to America ten years too long. The Fifth Avenue is Rockefeller's church.
When a newspaper clipping in which he was alluded to as "Rockefeller's new pastor" was shown to Mr. Aked by a reporter, he said:
"I know nothing of Mr. Rockefeller. It is not fair. I can't talk about him. I think it is very hard to keep calling that church 'Rockefeller's church.' Why, he is not a member. It is a powerful and influential church without Mr. Rockefeller. He is a seat holder and belongs to a Church in Cleveland."
Mr. Aked was informed that Mr. Rockefeller, Jr., was connected with the Fifth Avenue church. He replied: "Yes, I know young Mr. Rockefeller is a member of the church, a trustee and a leader of the Bible class."
Mr. 'Aked said that his Liverpool congregation was probably the most cosmopolitan in the world, but he added no distinction would be made at the Fifth Avenue church, "The poor stranger will be welcome just as heartily as the richest man or woman in the congregation."
"My message is 'A Ministry of Reconciliation.'"
He was asked whether he intended doing active work in the suppression of gambling houses in New Yerk as he had in Liverpool. He said:
"It will take me a little time to learn the existing condition in this city. I shall feel my way at first. I think my fighting days are over. The things I have been fighting against in Liverpool are not here."
THOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD
Will Be Paid for Missing Boy and No Questions Asked.
Letters are being sent out by William Spencer, of 2148 Germantown avenue, Philadelphia, Pa., enclosing a postal card containing a photograph of Horace N. Marvin, Jr., the four-year-old boy who disappeared from his father's home near Dover, Del., on March 4th last. The card gives a description of the boy and states that a reward of $1,000 will be paid by Mr. Spencer for the delivery of the little one to him.
It is stated in the card: "I sacredly promise any one delivering this boy to me that my lips shall be sealed and silent forever and I will never give the slightest clue that might lead to their arrest. I will pay the cash without asking any questions whatever."
The card gives with the photograph of the boy a careful description of him, and states that Mr. Spencer will send any number of the postals to any one who is destrous of assisting in finding the child.
FOR MURDER OF SISTER
Boy and Two Girls Must Answer.
Mother Also Implicated.
Affidavits were filed in court at Dayton, Ohio, Wednesday, charging Mrs. Leah C. Gilman, mother; Collins, brother, and Fayne and Bessie, sisters, with murdering Dona Gilman, whose body was found on a commons near her home November 20 last. The grand jury recently ignored the case against the Gilmans.
CRAZY FATHER KILLS BABE.
Dodson Also Made Desperate Effort to Kill His Wife.
At Gadsden, Ala., Wednesday afternoon, O. P. Dodson, a telegraph operator, shot and mortally wounded his three-year-old son, while in a demented condition, and at the same time tried to kill his wife, shooting at her twice, but missing her.
SOLD CROP FOR TEN DOLLARS.
Georgia Peach Grower Shows What He Thinks of Prospects. James Tate of Elbert county, Georgia, who owns an orchard of 10,000 peach trees in that county, has sold the entire crop of this year to a banker of Elberton for $10 cash. This is indicative of what Mr. Tate thinks has been done to the fruit by the cold weather. He does not think a crate of good peaches will be secured from his entire orchard. The money has passed, it is stated, and the transaction is a bona fide one.

Quartermaster General West Retired. At his own request, Gen. Andrew J. West of Atlanta has been placed on the retired list as quartermaster general of Georgia. This retirement gives him the right to participate on all public occasions in full uniform if he should desire. The record of this officer has been brilliant, faithful and of long duration. He has been in the service of the state thirty-six years, and has held the position of quartermaster general under six different governors, and has never received a dollar for his services.
Sumter County Convicts.
Sumter County convicts. The prison commission will await the action of the county commissioners of Sumter county in the matter of the local convict camp before giving the situation any official consideration. The questions which the Sumter county authorities are said to be investigating are alleged cruel treatment of misdemeanor convicts, and the frequent escapes which have been reported. The state prison commission has authority to summon the entire board of county commissioners (t) answer to the charges, but will not do so, it is stated, if the investigation and action taken by that board proves satisfactory.
The Georgia roster commission is up against rather a difficult proposition in the matter of the muster rolls of some fifty or sixty Georgia commands which took part in the civil war. The war department, or the records bureau of that department, having defeated Georgia's efforts to get congressional consent for the making of copies of these rolls, now wants, the state to deposit with it $11,000 to pay for the work which is then to be done by its employees. It is unnecessary to say that such a demand is preposterous and out of the question.

Many Were Disappointed.
Forty-nine applicants for license to practice pharmacy in this state failed to pass the state pharmacy board in session at Atlanta the past week. Eighty men and two women faced the board, and of this number only thirty-three passed, the remaining forty-nine tasting the bitterness of disappointment. There were nineteen given apothecaries' and fourteen druggists' licenses. The two lady applicants passed with flying colors, Miss Nellie Dill as an apothecarian, and Miss Mary Burton as a druggist.
Bundrick Anxious to Hang.
George W Bundrick, the escaped murderer sentenced to hang for the killing of John Schroeder, in Dooly county, in 1902, and who gave himself up to the authorities in California a few days ago, will be returned to the scene of his crime. According to advices from Los Angeles, where Bundrick is in jail, he broods constantly

Sheriff Sheppard will not go for the prisoner, but has wired the California officers to bring Bundrick to Cordele and get the reward of $300.
Roswell Remains in Cobb County.
Under a state supreme court decision rendered a few days ago, the town of Roswell will remain in Cobb county, although the citizens of that town, under the act of August 7, 1906, voted to go into Milton county.
The supreme court, in sustaining an injunction which was granted by Judge Gober, bases its action principally upon the act of 1854 creating Milton county, in which act it is clearly set forth that Roswell is in Cobb county and a part of the boundary line between the two counties. It is held, in effect, that no part of the town is in Milton county, and that therefore the election held under the act of 1906 is null and void.

Negro Must Pay Penalty.
Will Johnson, colored, must hang for his assault on Mrs. Richard Hembree at Battle Hill, near Atlanta, on August 15, 1906.
The supreme court has affirmed Judge Roan in denying Johnson a new trial. The higher court held that "the alleged newly discovered evidence was not of such a character as required the grant of a new trial."
After Johnson's trial, conviction and passing of the death sentence, an attempt was made to prove an albi. However, conflicting evidence developed in this respect—in fact so much that the albi theory was largely discredited.
Evidently the supreme court did not find the new evidence of sufficient merit to warrant a new trial.
Inspector's Report Adopted.
In so far as the railroad commission is concerned, the Georgia railroad case is closed on the Bowdre Phlinizy petition. The commission unanimously adopted the report of Inspector Jackson. "I can add nothing to my report," said Mr. Jackson. "The inspection was made carefully and conscientiously, and is absolutely my opinion. The road is in as good condition as I indicate, and the management is apparently doing all it can to improve the defects."
Commissioner O. B. Stevens, who accompanied Mr. Jackson on the inspection trip, holds practically the same views as contained in the expert's report. Colonel Stevens thinks the Georgia road is the third best in the state in its general condition. He places the Western and Atlantic first, the West Point second and the Georgia third.

and selling whiskey into that county They were tried before Judge Fite and convicted. When the cases reached the appellate court the reversal came on the ground that Bartow county has no "prohibition" law, but simply a law that permits the sale under a license granted by the proper authorities. In other words the only law operative in Bartow is high license, which is a form of regulation and not a complete prohibition. The appellate court holds that the indictments were invalid and the convictions contrary to law
Growing Crops Hard Hit.
Growing crops in middle and south Georgia, market gardens all over the state and the fruit crop in some sections, have been badly injured by the cold and frost of the past few days, according to Agricultural Commissioner Hudson. Colonel Hudson estimates the damage to cotton in south Georgia at nearly 50 per cent. Of the cotton that is up he believes not less than 25 per cent is killed and that 25 per cent not yet up will not mature, or if it does that the plant will die soon after coming out of the ground.
"A larger per cent of cotton is planted in south Georgia than I ever saw this early," said Colonel Hudson. "The warm weather of March induced the early planting, and now treat harm has been done. About 50 per cent of the crop down there has been planted.
"Market and kitchen gardens have been killed out; corn nipped and put back, but that will not seriously harm it, as the plant will put out again; oats and other grain is hurt; cantaloupes and watermelons have all been killed, and replanting will be necessary.
"It is difficult to state how seriously the fruit crop has been damaged. The high winds have beaten the limbs about until a great deal of the fruit will fall off. I am afraid the peach crop will be very short in Georgia this year."
LET TEDDY NAME BRYAN
Is Rejoinder of Hendricks Club to Proposition of Graves.
The Hendricks Club, the largest Democratic organization in Indiana, adopted the following resolution and telegraphed same to John Temple Graves, of Atlanta:
"The Hendricks Club, of Evansville, Ind., believes that, in the interest of 'a square deal,' Roosevelt should nominate Bryan for president in 1905, as there is now no doubt that Bryan was beaten in 1896 by the contribution of money from insurance companies, railroad companies and tariff protected monopolies."

ITALY SLANDERS MISSISSIPPI.
Government is Barring Immigrants
Unjustly from the State.
Unjustly from the State.
Signor Ferruccio Zerbiniati, an Italian who has been promoting the immigration of his countrymen to the Mississippi delta, states that he has sustained a loss of over $3,000 within the past few months on account of the unjust action of his government in trying to prevent immigration to the state.
Zerbiniati declares that the authorities in Italy insist on slandering Mississippi in spite of evidence he has furnished showing that Italian immigrants are happy, contented and prosperous.
