Big Falling Off.

The Atlanta Journal has been looking
into the matter and finds that the total
fertilizer shipments in Georgia this
season are only 60,597 tons, while the
total to same date last year was l22,-
900 tons. The sales later in the sea-
son are expected to raise the proportion
somewhat. but manufacturers 90 not
expect the trade to exceed two-thirds
of that of last year. The fertilizer
trust may have something to do with
the falling off of shinments.

Died While Speaking.

Former Attorney General Augustus
II. Garland was stricken with apoplexy
at Washington while addressing the
United States supreme court at 12.l l5
O'Clock Thursday afternoon and died
within ten minutes. The occurrence
came with startling and tragic unex-
pectedness, changing the usual calm
and dignity of the court into temporary
confusion: while the dying man was
carried from the chamber in a futile
effort to alleviate his condition. The
deceased was prominent Democrat,
and was DISTINGUISHED man.

Of the total OF 70, 81 Contederates
who died in Northern prisons, the
graves Of 1920 We're originally marked
known. and 6,S34 unknown.
Whether it is still possible to identify
the graves marked as 'known" am
unable to state, but probably there
would be some difficulty. The graves
of those Confederates who died in the
hospitals of their towns and cities could
in most cases be found and identified.
The graves of those who died in the
army hospitals would be hard to find,
and in most cases must necessarily be
marked unknown. OF the thousands
who died on the battlefield have left no
trace of their being, and can no longer
be cared for iu the sense of the Presl-
dents meaning. They will henceforth
give no sign except as their bones are
ploughed up by future generations.

form and it encourages us as to the de-
velopment which is bound to come IN
the future In a general conversation
occurring on the train the other day, IN
which the question of expansion was to
the fore, representatives of two We'll
known coast houses gave their expe-
riences. One had had satisfactory trade
relations with the Philippines to the
amount of 81 600. Another said he had
sold goods to be shipped to Manila p
the amount of $4,000. This gentleman
declared that he had further shipments
to make and had been able to contract
for space for only two tons in the next
steamer sailing to Manila. He declared
that the space could be sold at a sub
stantial advance ON the contract price.
Neither had ever had a dollars worm
of trade, of course, with the Philippines
before it's occupation by the Americans
The aggregate was not large, only 9IV'-
600, but it is a beginning and precur-
sor to a more extended trade relation
with the ancient city of the orient.
But the same conditions are more gen
orally understood. We have no par
ticularly valuable source of information
on the subject. but we do not DOUBT
that accurately gathered statistics

Actlon upon policy of life insurance.
Reversed.
A general agent of an insurance COM
pany has power, unless specially re-
str1cted by limitations and instructions
comm unicated to parties dealing with
him, to waive or dispense with any Of
the conditions of the policy. And the
company is liable for all acts done by
him in the course of his employment.
He may waive conditions either in
writing or verbally.
II the company has treated the policy
as valid and has sought to enforce pay
menf OF the premiums or has otherwise
with knowledge recognized, by its own
acts or declarations or those of it's
agent, the policy as still subsisting, it
WAVES thereby prior forfeitures. Tie
law looks not kindly upon forfeitures.
Serving Of notice is merely condi-
ton precedent to forfeiture; it in no
wise bars the company from afterward
waving the forfeiture.

Affirmed
The judgment of a court of general
jurisdiction imports absolute verify, and
its truth cannot be questioned either by
showing otherwise than by the record
itself that the court had no jurisdic-
ton, or that the jurisdiction was frau
dulent procured. Both upon the mer-
its of the cause of action and upon all
jurisdictional facts the record imports
absolute verify in law and is to be tried
by the court on inspection of the rec
ord only.
The mere absence from the roll of a
paper, for example, the returns of the
officer, showing a service of the sum-
mons, cannot invalidate the Judgment
when the judgment itself recites the
fact that the defendant was duly served
with process.
1t is within the Jurisdiction of the
Superior Court to vacate a judgment
entered by it by other proceedings than
motion for new trial. If it has
committed error in thus vacating the
judgment, it can be corrected on a di-
rect appeal; but on a collateral attack
the order will be deemed to have been
properly made.
Notice of motion to vacate a judg-
ment must be served within a reason
able time after the entry of the de-
cree, in no case exceeding six months.

THE CITY DUMPS.

The city authorities would insist, de-
spite protests put in before them, IN
locating the city dumps on the north
east side I'M the old basin Of the Amerl-
can River. They declared that the water
in highest stages would never reach the
SPOT. But Thursday evening the water
backed up from the American River
more than half covered the dumps. 1t
would seem that even experience fails
to teach some men.
Our local columns yesterday gave
sufficient statement of the present con-
ditions calling for the most drastic and
immediate correction of the evil. All
the talk about filtering all impurities
out of water is rank nonsense. The
soluble matter taken up and carried on
to the city water pipes will enter them,
it is taken into any domestic uses, the
danger remains in greater or less de-
gree that the pollution filtration docs
not correct will cause the sickness and
death of some human being.
A single life thus lost to society is
worth far more than all the cost of a
proper SYSTEM for the disposal of refuse
matter, namely, all human and animal
waste, all filth from cesspools and water
closets, the waste of the undertaking
rooms, etc-the subject is nauseating,
too much SO to be further pursued
in detail. But here is fact enough to
demand instant attention and instant
application of remedy. That remedy
is cremation of all this waste.
A city of this size and Importance
cannot afford to longer follow the
beaten path of filth and indecency. A
crematory for the incineration of this
waste is an absolute necessity, one far
more pressing than the erection of a
new High School, or a City Hall, or
the construction of any other public
work, save only the Introduction of an
improved water system. Let crema-
terry be ordered. and If financial condi-
tons will not warrant the expense of
maintenance at general cost, then let
there be laid on a fee for disposing of
waste brought to it, and repeal of the
law permitting the dumping of filth,
which. by the way, is in direct viola
! ton of State law.

 builder Tom Humphreys, we'll known
