GeOrgia's Cotton Acreage.

MACON, GA, February 14.-Some time
ago the Telegraph mailed inquiries to
every cotton raising County in Georgia
asking for estimates on the cotton acreage
of the present year. Reports were re-
ceived from large majority of these cor
respondents, and tomorrow morning the
Telegraph will publish the result.
The replies indicate general reduction
Of acreage devoted to cotton throughout
the State of about 20 per cent. as compar-
ed with the crop of last year. Consider
ing the early date at which these esti-
mates were made the Telegraph will say
that conservative estimate will show at
least Is per cont. less acreage than that of
last year.
The acreage devoted to cotton hereto
fore will this year be planted in corn,
wheat peas, and other food crops. To-
bacco culture will also claim attention
from Georgia farmers, and in some
Counties where experiments have proven
successful large crop will be planted.
For instance, in Decatur County, where
it has been demonstrated that cigar to-
bacco may be very successfully produced,
the tobacco acreage this year will be at
least 5000 acres.
The amount of commercisl fertilizers
used this year will be fully 80 per cent.
less than last year, and this gives empha-
sis to the estimated reduction of the cot
ton crop, as it is almost out of the ques-
ton to raise successful cotton crop in
any portion of the State without thoir

A Family Struck by q Train.

CHARLOTTE, N. G., February l3.-Pas-
sengers from the Western North Carolina
trains who reached Charlotte this morn
ing brought news of distressing affair
that occurred on the Western North Car
lima road, a few miles west of Asheville,
yesterday afternoon. A mother, in an
attempt to save three of her children who
were playing on the track, lost her own
life. One OF the children was killed and
the other two had their legs and arms
broken.
The lady lived near the line of the road
at station where the freight and passen"
ger trains meet. Both trains arrived
there at about the same time. AS the
freight train was coming in, the lady,
whose name my informant failed to got,
saw her three children playing on the
track, the engine being then nearly upon
them. The mother ran to the track and
tried to get them out of the way, but the
engine struck the group. The body of the
mother was rolled under the wheels and
terribly mangled one child was killed
outright, and the other two children were
tossed to the roadside. One had an arm
and q leg broken, and the other was cut
and bruised, but not fatally hurt.

State in1orming them that the timo for

day mex instructing them to collect

nrers are further instructed to issue exc
cntions against all delinquent taxpayers
after March 8, and to place these execu-
.tions in the hands Of the sheriffs for en-

General are positive and final. They
eDuli not be otherwise. All taxpayers

Georgia Farmers In o Fix.

AUGUSTA, GA, February 2.-Augusta
banks are not loaning farmers any more
money on their country real estate. The
Twitty bill that the last Georgia Legisla-
ture made law causes all the trouble.
The new law is that all obligations to
pay attorneys fees on any note or other
evidence Of Indebtedness, in addition to
the rate of interest specified therein, is
declared to be absolutely void, and no
court has the power to enforce such
contract or agreement to pay such attor-
noys' fees unless plea be filed by the
defendant and not sustained. Under the
law, if tho banks loan money to farmers
on their real estate and the farmer does
not meet his obligation when it falls due
the bank will have to pay the lawyers
fee of 10 per cent. to get judgment against
the borrower in court and collect the ac-
count. This expense, the banks believe,
should fall upon the man who defaults,
and not upon the bank and unless tho
law is repealed, farmers will find it a diff
fcult matter to raise money on their
country property. Unless the law is re-
voked the poor farmers will be in worse
condition than now.

- One peculiar trait of persons who
are blind is that there is scarcely any
smokers among them. Soldiers and sail
ors who lose their sight while in action
sometimes continue to smoke a short
time after that great calamity has over
taken them, but, as rule, they soon
give up the habit altogether. They say
it gives them no pleasure when they
cannot see the smoke, and some have
even went 30 far as to declare that smoke
cannot be tasted unless the vision beholds
it. This odd theory has been demonstra-
ted time and again by blindfolding man
and leading him into room 1uh OF 10,
bacco smoke and then putting O lighted
and an unlighted cigar in his mouth by
turns. Not one man in thousand can
distinguish between the "dead" cigar
and the enc in full blast.

Snatched from the Grave.

WARSAW, ILL, February 12.-Mrs. S.
Wilson, living twelve miles from this
city, became suddenly i'll last Saturday,
and to all appearances died. She was
dressed for burial and arrangements for
Her funeral were made. No physician
was called. On Monday neighbor was
sent to Warsaw for coffin, but got drunk
and did not reach home until Tuesday
morning. When the watchers began to
place the supposed corpse in the coffin,
the woman threw up her arms and
caught one of the attendants by both
wrists. With difficulty her fingers were
released. By the aid of mirror respira-
ton was detected. Restoratives we're ap-
piled, and in few hours Mrs. Wilson
was able to talk.
She is too weak to say much about her
experience while in the trance. she says
she knew preparations were being made
for her burial, and it was by an almost
superhuman effort that she threw up her
arms and clutched the wrists Of the at
tendant. She will recover.

That Deadly Cigarette.

Z WAsH1NaToN, February 1.-THE Ways
and Means Committee Of the House OF
Representatives will be petitsoned to pre-
pare bill invoking the paternal condem-
nation Of the Government upon the ciga-
rette habit. Representatives Cochran,
Cummings and .Stahlmecker, of New
York, all have in their possession bills
which they have been petitioned to intro
duce providing for the suppression of
cigarette manufacture by imposing an in
ternal revenue tax Of ten dollars per
thousand on all imported or domestic
cigarettes sold in this countrY. Accom-
panying the memorial is statement
which says:
Clippings taken from papers through
out the United States show that during
the past year thete have been about 100
deaths of young men, mostly under six
teen years Of age, from the effects OF
smoking paper wrapped cigarettes; in
some cases there has been an analysis of
the stomach, and in most instances there
has been found acid, PHOSPHORUS and ar
senic, which is largely used in the manu-
factrre of cigarette paper. Also the same
clippings will show that about 100 men
have been consigned to insane asylums
/ for the Same cause. There has been in
about forty different States law passed
prohibiting the sale Of paper wrapped Gig
arettes to minors under sixteen years Of
age. There has neveryet been chemist
of any responsibility who has examined
paper-wrapped cigarettes who has not
most decidedly pronounced them inju-
rious.! The internal revenue tax Is now
fifty cents per 1000 paper wrapped ciga-
rettes, fot less than three pounds weight
per 1000 cigarettes. To accomplish what
different States have, and are attempting
to do, protect young people by prohibit
ing their smoking paper wrapped ciga-
rettes, law should be passed by this
Congress making the internal revenue
tax $40 per 1000 on all paper wrapped
imported or domestic cigarettes. This
would place them al price that children
could not pay and go further than any
State legislation can do, and meet with
the approval Of every man and woman in
the country"
Following the memorial are names and
former addresses of over 200 people of
various sections Of the United States who
have, during the past year, died rgrown
hopelessly insane, as the effect of the Gig
arctic habit. Representative Cochran
will file his bill with the Ways and
Means Com mittee, OF which he is a mem
ber, for such action as that committee
may deem proper.
