FROST PLAYS HAVOC.
Bad Weather for Vegetation Reported
in North Georgia

Atlanta, Ga, April "a -Commissioner
of Agriculture Nesbitt says to-day that
the present weather is playing havoc with
vegetation in Georgia. There was a good
frost this morning and it would have been
heavy and a killing one had not the
wind sprung up about daylight and scat
tered the moisture in the atmos-
phere. Already considerable damage
has been done young cotton as well
as garden truck and fruit Some
farmers, he says, have given up sprouting
cotton and are making arrangements to
replant. The drought which made the
farmers apprehensive until recently was
not near so dangerous to agriculture as
the cold winds which have crusted the
earth since the recent rain.

In the HnnSa.

In the House the bill establishing
state bureau of vital statistics caused
great COmmOtiOn 1t was on second read
ing and had been embellished by the COM
mittee with several amendments. A
rough place in the road was in section 6,
in which was conferred on the state
health officer extraordinary powers of
COndemning property in case of infection.
This point was warmly assailed, but the
bill finally got through and was ordered
engrossed for third reading.
Twenty-One new bills bObbed up in the
House this morning, and eleven in the
Senate. Mr.. Delrs bills, providing en-
plOyment for COnviCts and forming a new
municipal government for Gainesville,
and Mr.. Berry's, to protect oyster beds
and providing for licensing sleeping cars
and regulating their charges, were of
some importance.
Others were bills creating a state board
of eclectic medical examiners; regulating
foreign loan and trust companies; regu-
lating railroads and creating a railroad
commission; to establish a criminal court
in Suwannee county.
In the Senate Mr.. Summers brought up
an important bill for protection against
discharge for employees and to prevent
blackisting, etc. Mr. Whidder one estab-
fishing a criminal court for De Soto
county.

AN UNEQUAL BURDEN.
Dougherty's Taxpayers Educating
Four Negroes to One White.

Albany, Ga, April 24.-The publication
of the school census of this county will
probably show the greatest disparity be-
tween the races of any county in the
state. According to the census there are
400 white children of school age in the
county while only 36l of them are in
actual attendance. On the other hand
there are 1858 negro children of school
age and 2,052 are in attendance 1t will
thus be seen that the white taxpayers of
Dougherty are laboring under a very IN
equal burden in the cause of education.
They are paying for the education of more
one white child, a burden which the
white taxpayers of no other county have
to shoulder
