GEORGIA POPULISTS
 PASS RESOLUTIONS MiddIe-of-th -the-RoaderS Oenounce
 the FuSioniSts. BAKER FOR PRESIDENT
Platform Appeals For Prohibition and Direct Legislation By Means of Initiative and Referendum-Tray-
 Tor Nominated For Governor

Atlanta, Ga. April 10.-The middle-o -of-the- road populists of Georgia today nominated the following ticket: Governor, J. H. Fay of Trup county; secretary of state, Dr. L. l.. Clements of Milton; attorney-general F. H. Saffold of Emanuel; state treasurer, J. w. Park of Meriwether; commissioner of agriculture, w. T. Flint of Taliaferro; prison commissioners, J. D. Dickson of Upson and S. G. McCandless of Butler.
 Eight delegates at large to the Cincin- natl convention were elected and instruct ed for Wharton Barker of Philadelphia for president and Ignatius Donnelly of Minne- sota for vice president.
 The platform appeals for prohibition and direct legislation by means of initiative and referendum.
 Among other things, it says:
 "As the fusionists who betrayed the peo- ple's party and our own gallant chieftain Thomas D. Watson, and thereby demoral- ized our hitherto impregnable band of pa- triots have themselves been shaken off and our ranks cleared and purified by their expulsion, so have our once broken ranks been reformed and revived by the spirit of loyal hope and confidence
 'The day of the complete cleansing of our ranks from all mere office-seekers so fondly and confidently looked for at the national convention in Cincinnati May 9, should work an era in our partys history which we trust will lead on to complete triumph.
 Patty Yields Nothing
 '"The peoples party yields nothing in its opposition to licensed saloons as public nuisance. The gospel of Christ is the so- lution of every human problem and the correction of every evil. We appeal to the Christians of Georgia to unite with us in our efforts to suppress this monster evil sc long fostered and nourished by the dem- ocratic party as a means to acquire office at the expense of Christianity and to the degradation of man.
 Sales of spurious liquors for medicinal and mechanical purposes should be regu- lated and controlled by law
 "We favor an amendment to the consti- tuition of this state for an initiative and referendum and the imperative mandate in Legislation to submit to the people for rati- fication or rejection of all important legis- lative enactments.
 "We endorse the platform adopted by

Miss BrideweIl's Success.

The distinction that Miss Carrie Bride well of Birmingham has won in the music al world has naturally resulted in many newspaper stories regarding her early ca- reer. and particularly Is her southern birth a subject upon which there have been varying statements. A well known society journal in the east, in its flattering ac- count of her musical success and her un- usual personal beauty, claims that she is a New England girl. The result has been that the subsequent newspaper notices continue to state that Miss Bridewell was born in Maine or Massachusetts.
 She is typically southern in appearance, and even the most indifferent observer would be impressed with the characteris- tic charm of the southern woman. While Alabama was not the place of her birth, still her long residence in Birmingham at a period when the strongest ties are often made, and that she regards this city as her old home, gives Birmingham a natur- al feeling of pride in her achievements, and a keen resentment that the north and the east are so eager to claim her as their own. Her parents have lived here for many years, and their pride and gratihca- tion in the notable career of their daugh- ter is a feeling in which all Birmingham | joins, prompted not alone by the sentl- ment of Miss BridewelPs southern birth, but to the fact that she grew to young womanhood in this city, and that Bir- mingham means home to her.
 In reference to Miss Bridewells recent appearance in grand opera at the Metro politan opera house in New York, among tbo Hot notices the fol- lowing, which was clipped from a musical publication, and which gives incidentally the advantages which Miss Bridewell en- joys in the training of her voice:
 Miss Carrie Bridewell made her first ap- pearance in opera last Friday evening, when she sang the part of one of the three young women in "The Magic Flute" Miss Brdewel has been a pupil of Mrs. Mott 8 for the past two years, having in fact studied with her ever since she came to this city. She has a fine contralto voice that has been carefully trained by Mrs. Mott until at the present moment she has reached a point where an operatic appear ance was possible. All the leading artists at the Metropolitan opera house have ex- pressed themselves in the highest praise of Mrs. Motts method exemplified in Miss Bridewell, and have one and all ad- vised the young lady not to go abroad and have her voice and method spoiled" as they expressed it.
 The success of pupil is always a grati- fcation to teacher, but when the success is attributed to the splendid way in which the pupil has been taught, it is, of course, | far more gratifying Mrs. Mott teaches a | Dlre method that has been highly success | full in developing voices to their best, and what is often of far more consequence has inculcated principles in her pupils that have enabled them to keep their voices in condition, for with her system they know how to use them.

Only three cases of mortgage foreclosure
involving farm land occurred in Bremen
county during the year 1899, according to the
WaVerly Republican, and in two of the in
stances the land was unimproved, fore
closure being made to perfect title. Speak
ing of this record the Republican remarks:
''Ihe absence of foreclosures is particularly
noticeable in the dairy portion of the
county. You would need to search in the
records for a good many years back to find
a farm sold under foreclosure where the oc-
cupant of the farm was near to a creamery
and kept all the cows which could be prop
erly cared for on his farm. This was not
the case twenty or more years ago, before
the dairy and creamery business had com
on our farms. In the year 1880 alone fifteen
good Bremen county farms, each of eighty
acres and upward in size, We're sold by the
sheriff under mortgage foreclosure.

County Attorney Kilpack has received the
following ruling from Treasurer Of State
Herriott In reference to the collection OF
the collateral inheritance tax;
Tho purpose and the application of the
so-called exemption of 81, 600 allowed in the
assessment Of the collateral inheritance taX
imposed by the provisions of chapter 4, title
Z, of the code have been determined by q
ruling of the supreme court in the case
of Herriott against Bacon, filed January %,
1900.
The court holds in this case that where
an estate liable in whole or in part for the
Inheritance tax exceeds 81, 600 in value, after
the payments of debts, the entire amount
going to collateral heirs is subject to the
tax, without any deduction or exemption.
no tax is to be assessed. For example, an
estate netting only $500 would not be liable
for the tax, whereas. an estate amounting
to 81, 400 would be assessed for 5 per cent
of the entire amount, or $40. In other words
the so-called exemption is simply descrip-
tive CT subjects subject to the tax, not a
Limitation of the amount of the succession
on which the tax may be exacted.
This ruling of the supreme court hence
forth governs the treasury department in
the collection of the collateral inheritance
tax"
Prior to this ruling by the supreme court
lawyers throughout the state held that the
law intended that 1000 should be deducted
from the assets of an estate before the in
hCritanCe tax should be computed.
