AN IMPORTANT UNDERTAKING.
A Complete Account of Georgia to Be
Printed.
From the AUGUSTA Chronical.

From the Augusta Chronical.
The agriculture department of Geor-
gia is now engaged in the preparation
of work which is intended to give a
complete and up-todate account of Geor-
gia and it's resources, including brief.
sketches of counties, cities, towns
scenery and places of resort, with in
formation of every kind that might be
desired by our own citizens or by
strangers seeking homes in Georgia.
Hon. O. B. Stevens has 5ignalized
his administration as commissioner of
agriculture by devoting himself not
only to the efficient discharge of the
routine duties of his office, but to in
augurating reforms and improvements
in the interest of the public. His or
ganization of the commissioners OF ag-
riculture of the southern states for the
purposes of holding annual conventions
and getting the benefits of each others
experience has proven a movement OF
great value, not only to Georgia but
to all the states cooperating in the as
ISOLATION. The reorganization OF the
oil inspecting business, the recoditica-
ton of the laws, the establishment of
a new test and raising the grades of
oil used in the state from l20 to 100
test has proven benefit to consumers
of oil all over Georgia.
For years past there has been an in
creased demand for handbook OF
Georgia which would furnish practi-
cal information on questions OF agri-
culture. live stock, dairying, poultry,
game a1d fish, horticulture, hOricul-
ture. forestry and timber, minerals,
water powers, manageable streams,
manufactures, banking facilities, trans
portation facilities, religious and edu-
cational statistics. A book of this
kind, which is thorough and reliable,
will be of incalcu5le value to the state
of Georgia, and Commissioner Stevens
could not have undertaken a more i'm
pOrtant work.
He is distributing circulars to lead
ing citizens in every county, city and
town in the state with exhaustive il
ouiries, as full and complete as a cer-
sus enumerator's sheet. Every manu-
facturer, farmer, merchant, teacher or
representative citizen in any line OF
work who receives one OF these circu-
lars should fill tout promptly, careful
" and as accurately as his information
makes possible. OF course there are
few men in position TO answer ques-
tions in ali departments. This is not
expected; but each man is requested
to fill out the questions that relate to
the department with which he is IA
miliar. When all of these reports
have been received at the commission
er's Office in Atlanta from every coun-
t. in the state there will be an i'm
port2nt work of codifcation and cor
solidatiOn.
Commissioner Stevens is to be com
mended for undertaking this great

In Memory of Mrs. H. A. Wall.

On Saturday morning, June 25nd,
Just at sunrise, surrounded by loved
ones, ''the silver chord was loosened,
the golden bowl was broken" and the
sweet, bright life of Mamie Wall wing
ed it's flight to the Celestial City and
into the presence of the Savior she
had loved so we'll. She had been i'll
for weeks from a complication of dis
eases, and at times her sutferings were
intense: but no murmur or complaint
was ever heard to fall from her devout
lips. She had the assurance of her
'aftiiction working for her far more
exceeding weight " glory"
She was a consistent member OF the
Methodist church, a devout christian,
modest to great degree; neverthe-
less, she in her every day life gave ev-
idence Of a beauty of characte.' that
was beautiful to behold. Her quiet,
unassuming disposition carried within
it a heart large enough TO win for
herself the love and esteem OF all who
knew her. Her religious influence was
felt and proved Of countless benefit to
all with whom she was associated.
She was fully~apprised of her near
dissolution yet was perfectly resigned,
and expressed herselft to her loved ones
as being ready, and as the soul leaped
ha,1-a Of al I no anrpl
stopped and kissed away all traces OF
pain from the sweet face, leaving a
supernal light, smile which told Of
the glory world a bright harbinger OF
the resurrection glory which awaits
the great day.
We weep not for her, but for the
lonely sorrOwing loved ones. She
leaves void that cannot be filed, and
especially unsurportable to him whose
life was wrapped in hers, who was the
light of his eye and his hearts treas
ure. She leaves three little mother
less children THAI at the twilight hour
were accustomed 10 kneel while she
taught theirLittle lisping tongues, TO
pray, and in subdued voices they have
questioned and listened to her as she
told them daily Of Jesus.
A loving mother, devoted sisters and
a fond brother are struggling to still
their grief by the assurance of
NO sickness there.
NO weary wasting Of the frame away,
NO vain petition for sweet relief.
mo Fearful eye, no broken heart is there.
Would that our poor sympathy could
tighten a little the heartaches or
brighten little the desolate. hours.

AT THE THEATERS.

The scenic possibilities of 1.-THE Win
ter's Tale are almost Iimitless. and
the managerial firm of Wagenhals and
Kemper proved to Topeka audience
at the Crawford theater Saturday night
that much money had been expended
in the canvas and furniture of their
revival The period and place of the
Shakespearean comedy in turn allows
for effective costuming, and in this
as well as the scenic investure it was
shown that the provision had been with
a generous hand But barring de-
sire to give the stage an elaborate Sc
ries of pictures, it is greatly question
why Messrs. Wagenhals and Kemper
revived 1.-THE Winters Tale"
In the first place, the comedy which
2S great an actress as Mary Anderson
selected for her farewell to the stage is
probably the most disJointed of the
Shakespearean productions and deals
generously in improbability, stock or
which Mr.. Shakespeare possessed an I'M
limited supply. In the second place,
Messrs Wagenhals and Kemper have
not the stars suited to the cast of THE
Winters Tale" From the fact that
/ Louis James. Kathryn kldder and
/ Charles b Hanford are capable Of sat
isfactory work. it might be more proper
/ to say that the characters which they
/ are made to assume in Shakespeare 5
I comedy are not suited to them. Louis

make out of it, Mr.. James is decidedly

acter of "Hermione' to emerge in the
role Of the frolicsome shepherdess.
The production of THE Winter
/ Tale" is only satisfactory from a scenic
| standpoint The company is not as
large as it is advertised, and the pres
/ ence of several '*supers" on the stage
I during 1.-The classic representation OF
the administration of justice in ancient
! Greece" made the scene ridiculous, as l.
| true of every scene in which tOwsy-
| headed stage hands and outsiders take
/ part. The utter disregard for beauty
| which Messrs. Wegenhals and Kempel
show by employing several of the pres
ent female members of their company IS
| a damper on their supposed enterprise
/ If there ever lived such a queen as
''Herrnione'' she might have surrounded
herself with just such women as Miss
| Kidder is surrounded in her domestic
scene, but audiences of the present day
would much rather be made to believe
that a Grecian cOnsort had better taste
The audience that saw the piece
proved that Shakespearean revivals ar,
still popular. 1t was large enough t.

FRANCHISE REVOKED.
And No More Will Be Granted In
Porto Rico at Present.


New York. April "A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Secre-
tary Root has issued an order revoking
the license granted to Mr.. Ramon
Valdes for the use Of the water of the
river LaPlata Of Porto Rico to create
electric power for a railroad He has
also announced that the department
will grant no franchises or licenses in
the island until the establishment Of
civil government there.
Tracy, Bordman and Plat, of New
York, represented A. L. Arpin and VIII
liam D. Noble. who applied for the re-
vocation of the concession, and who, it
is said, are endeavoring TO acquire it for
persons for whom they are acting as
agents. The Drexels and other business
interests of Philadelphia have vigorous
~ fought the attempts Of the New York
firm.
Secretary Roots decision. however.
not only deprives Mr Valdes Of his
license, but prevents Tracy. Bordman
and Platts clients or any other person
from obtaining it's issuance in their
favor.
1t is learned that this action was
taken IN accordance with a recommen-
dalton OF Brigadier General Davis, gov
ernor general OF the island, who has
made an extensive investigation. The
Issuance Of the license to Valdes last
summer was made when Secretary Root
received an opinion from Chas E Ma
COON, solicitor of the division of Gus
toms and insular affairs, whose wonder
full reversal of ideas on the status of
the new American dependencies has
surprised congress.
The files Of the insular division con-
tain numerous applications for con-
cesSions Of licenses, some from prom
inent people in the United States and
others from natives Of Porto Rico.
