In 1900 the population Of Georgia
was 1862 $3.50. Of which IS, 800 were slaves.
In 1857 Savannah had 227 dwellings
and $50 inhabitants, and In 1874 the
population had increased to $500.
A CENTURY ago Louisville was the
capital OF Georgia. Augusta at that
time had population OF l,19S whites,
LOTT blacks and $50 dwellings
The tea plant was introduced into
Georgia from India by Samuel Bowen
in ITO, and was soon grown without
cultivation in the yards Of Savannah
THE boundaries Of Georgia in 1900
were Atlantic ocean on the east, Flori-
da on the south, Mississippi territory
on the west and South Carolina on the
north.
A HUNDRED years ago the constitu-
ton Of Georgia required each county to
establish an academy, and the counties
respectively set apart public property
valued at Ell 900 for that purpose.
AT the beginning Of the present CEN
fury Georgia's leading crops were rice.
indigo, tobacco and cotton. In i79e
the state produced 100000 pounds q
cotton. Tobacco was so remunerativs
and easy to be produced that it was
then expected to become the leading
staple.

ators and representatives were elected
once year. A senator had to possess
ESQ acres Of land and other property
worth $3.50. A representative had to

paid for this new quarter. What may
happen after that money is expended I
don't know. But let me tell you this,
one of the captains in my regiment who is
kicking most about this thing is the very
one whose company [ saved from dis
bandment a few months ago. However,
there is more harmony in the regiment
than in many others, and even in the
event OF a reorganization the Second is in
no particular danger"
Captain Filmer of the First Infantry
had received his full allowance from Sac
ramento and hoped to get it again when
the quarter ends. The company captains
OF the First could not get along with less
than 500 month and are unit IN object
ing to any decrease.
Lieutenant-Co Colonel Geary OF the Second
Artillery declared that the only way OFT
Of the mess appears to be a reorganization
and the disbandment Of about fourteen
companies. San Francisco, he said, should
not suffer severely, but some sort OF
rehabiliment of the force in this City
might be made to advantage.
"If a reorganization is in prospect, 1t IS
an excellent thing" said Captain PoxtoE
of the Second. ST looks very much like
1t and the service needs it."
A number of other prominent National
Guard officers predicted that an immense
amount of trouble and confusion will soon
result from the Encouragement OF the al
loWances. At present the captains give
ho mint OF withdrawing from their stand
for the full measure of funds.

SWAN RETRACTED.
Took Back His Harsh Words Regarding
Grand Juror Leventritt-The
Sign Ordinance.

The Grand Jury was represented at the
meeting of the Street Committee of the
Board of Supervisors yesterday by Charles
Sonntag, who came to explain the wishes
of the jury regarding the proposed sign
ordinance.
Jabez Swan was also present to retract
the statement he recently made regarding
Grand Juror Leventritt's responsibility for
the crusade against the sign posting busi-
ness. He said that he had discovered that
he was wrong about the matter, and he
did not de sire to do Mr.. Leventritt an in
Justice. He suggested that people be al
lowed to stretch signs between bay-win-
dows.
To this Grand Juror Sonntag objected,
