NEW STATE BANKS.
Forty New Institutions Have been Establish
ed Since September.

Atlanta, April 24,-The increase in
the number of state banks in Georgia
during the last year is somsthing re-
marksble. There are just exactly
forty more banks in the state today
than there were on September 9th,
last, the time when Mr.. Turner ccm.
pleted his examinations fo- last
year.
Instead of having only 1877 banks to
examine, as was the case last year
Mr.. Turner h. t,.eis gear III of them
Three of these ha T. '1'n added to the
list during she Wees Just ended. SEQ
rstary of State Phil Cook has just In
corporated the Citizens bank, OF
vidalia, with capital Of $25,OOO, and
the Bank of Randolph, located a,
Cuthbsrt, with the same capital. There
is an application pending for the Bank
Of Graymons, in Emanuel county
ana that will complete the list to
III.
"This great inoresse in the mum Der
Of state banks" said the state bank ex>
amineF, "has not decreased the busi>
ness Of the older banks. On the con.
trary, their business has increased In
almost every section of the state. So
far have examined fifty of the older
banks this year, and l fnd that every
one ofsthem shows an increase in their
business over last year. This simply
SHOWS tnat there 1s vastly greater
volume Of banking business to be done
and is q good indica lion OF the pros.
perity of the state.
''In addition to the foregoing the
establishment of so many new banks
will facilitate the banking business all
over the state. 1t will enable the
banks to handle their business with
mere ease and dispatch.
"Another advantage In the inoreas- :
ed number of state bsnks is that it
will tend to a decreased rate Of inter-
est. Competition is the life of trade,

$50 colonel Wyuy HaS
Resigned
THE GOVERNOR REGRETS /
The Amount Of Expenses Was Only

s. WyllY Of the First Geergia infan,
try, lass night wsrded his resigna.
nation to Governor Gambler. The sct-

THE SCuLEY COURT.

The Schley Court is holding daily
sessions and much testimony is being
given in, which on the whole, appears
favorable to Admiral Schley. The
prosecution rested its case Monday
and the defense began and is not ex-
pected to conclude before the mid.
die of November. Much time is
being consumed in discussing the
position of the ships during the
battle.
There was quite an exciting time
on Monday between the Counsel, the
lie being passed between Judge
Advocate Lemly and Isador Rayner.
The Washington Post sums Of the
entire case of the prosecution in the
following:
If Admiral Schley were now to
rest his case on the testimony of the
witnesses summoned by the prosecu-
ton and refuse to call single one
in his own behalf, the court would
have an easy task-that of declaring
that not a single point to Schley's
discredit has been established. The
departments men have shown by
their own testimony that Schley was
-purposely or by accident-left in
ignorance of the signal code for
Clenfuegos; that he was encouraged
by Sampson to believe Cervera had
taken refuge in Cienfuegos; that
while Sampson knew positively the
Spanish fleets whereabouts on Nav
20, he carefully concealed his infor-
nation from the man he afterward
charged with "reprehensible con-
duct" The departments men have
made it plain that no two of them
saw any one thing alike; that each
had his own Independent estimate of
distances, of weather, of the loop, of
coaling possibilities-of every fea-
ture of the episode that has been
under consideration. Schley's counsel
could very properly declare that
nothing to his injury has been proven,
and the court would be bound to
admit that although nearly all the
witnesses for the prosecution have
been conspicuously hostile in their
predictions and opinions, absolutely
nothing has been established beyond
that fact.

Communicated
QUITE ANOTHER THING.

QUITE ANOTH Err THING.
EDITOR CITIZEN
The manifesto of Lancaster's Dem
ocratic chairman and the subsequent
endorsement of part thereof by the
Richmond county delegation at the
Downings Convention would seem
to show that the Lancaster mass
meeting was illegal from party
standpoint, and that the delegates
were not entitled to represent Lam
caster in said convention. If the
given plan of organization is cor
rect it also shows that the mass
meetings held in Westmoreland and
Northumberland were equally llle-
gal, and it therefore follows that the
work of the delegates elected by
those mass-meetings was illegal and
void.
So it appears that G. Conway
Baker was nominated by an illegal
convention of illegal delegates that
were elected at illegal mass-meet-
ings. This puts the party in the
two counties in a bad hole. The
irregularity and illegality of the
nomination absolves all organization
Democrats if they refuse to support
any such candidate. No irregular
candidate has right to the support
of the Democratic party, and no
Democrat is in honor bound to sup
port any irregular candidate.
If the rumor that an independent
candidate would run should prove
true there will be need of hustllng
along the whole line. Westmore-
land will have to hump herself for
her fayorite, as there is possibility
of Northumberland showing up on
the wrong side.
Democrats have an idea that their
champions are able to hold their
own against all corners, and when
any challenger appears in the lists
they like not to see their own knights
skulk off to the woods under the
plea that to fight in the open would
give the enemy an undue advantage.
The idea obtains currency that the
Democrats ere afraid to meet the
Republicans in fair and open joint
debate, and such belief will iniure
the Democrats more than any
amount of joint debates. It's dollars
to doughnuts that if an independent
lacking the "gift O. CAB" appears in
the field for the Legislature that Q.
Conway Baker will be anxious to
have a tilt with him, but where a
Montague would have to meet a
Hoge it is quite different matter.

before court martial on the charges
of cowardice and INSTRUMENTATION.
Were Lemly TO prove the case he
has attempted Schley would deserve
to be drummed out of the service.
There is a rumor ailoat that AM
bassador Choate who has started for
washington, ostensibly to confer
with the President in regard to the
canal treaty, comes at the Presi-
dents request and that he will bring
with him his resignation, ex-Sena-
tor Wolcott, of Colorado, being
named as his successor. The only
Information which the most persist
ent interrogation can elicit from the
State Department is that nothing is
known of the change. The fact that
MIR. Roosevelt is decided positiyist,
or as his Western friends would say
"hustler," and that Mr.. Choate is
not, some people describe him as
supine, probably gave rise to the
rumor, together with the fact that
Mr.. Wolcott has recently acted as a
special emissary to the Court of st.
James. Nevertheless the change IS
by no means unlikely, even if the
President has not already signified
Its desirability to Mr.. Choate.

LARGEST BUGEYE.

The new bugeye Clyte, which is
said to be the largest vessel of her
type ever built, was launched at
Solomon's Island, Nd, few DAYS
ago, and is owned by Capt. Albert
Somers OF that place.
Her frame is of heavy oak and the
best timber the forests of Georgia
could produce furnish her masts.
She is "a feet long on keel and 80
feet over all, % feet wide, with a 6
foot depth of hold. Her foremost is
90 feet above deck and her mainmast
81 feet. Each of her two topmasts
is 80 feet long. From the after end
OF the main-boom to the forward end
of the jib-boom is distance of 1913
feet. Her spread of sails is greater
than that of any other bugeye on the
Chesapeake bay. When under full
sail the Clyte will carry nearly 900
yards of Woodbury. duck. She has
eight sails-mainsail, fcresaiI, stand
ing jib, flying jib, jIp-topsail, stay

AMENDMENTs TO BE VOTED ON.
Three Ballet Boxes for Next Flee.
tiOn-Oysters ard Eleetinn


Two amendments having been
voted upon by two successive Legisla-
lures will come up for ratification
by the people at the coming election.
The first of these is to amend
sections l and 2 of article 2 of the
present Constitution, aud in effect
abolishes all county and district
elections on the fourth Thursday in
May and makes all elections fall on
Tuesday after the first Monday i'm
November, this year November 5.
The second amendment to be voted
upon is that to repeal the second
clause of article 10 of the present
Constitution which provides that
"no tax shall be imposed upon per-
sons taking or catching oysters with
tongs from the natural beds" in
Virginia waters. Both of the amend
ments are of great general interest,
and both have been passed by two
Legislatures.
The law requires separate ballot
boxes for each of these amendments,
thus with the gubernatorial election,
requiring three separate boxes at
each voting precinct in the State.
1t IS now almost certain that the
new Constitution will not be COM
pleted before this election, and it is
a question of some interest as to
whether the present Constitutional
Convention can or will take any
action in the matter.

THAr man is a onrse to niriliza.

THAT man is a curse to civiliza-
ton who, after classifying facts,
comes before the public in the role
OF historian. Nothing there is which
should be more jealousy guarded
aud which should be more sacred to
the hearts of a people than high
standard of truth, and that indi-
viduai in the nation whose purpose
1t is to set forth history i'll a false
light is the source, not of harmony
and peace, but of strife and dis
cord among his people. He is a
bad citizen and when discovered
should be held up as an object of
hatred and scorn.
1t is to such an one as this that
Is chargeable the picayunish affair
now being daily enacted before the
American people in the investigation
proceedings in Washington against
Admiral Schley. No one can but
applaud the action of tie Adj
miral In demanding at once the in
vestlgation as soon as the book con
tanning the calumny against him
was published. There was no other
course for him to adopt. He was
forced to it not only for his own
sake. personally, but to protect the
character of the navy of which he
was prominent figure. But in the
light of recent developments before
the Court Of Inquiry it is no diff
cult matter to decide who is the
''galled jade"
1t Is interesting to reproduce a
part of the latest report of the case.
The Court Of Inquiry asked the
following question of Capt. Francis
A. Cook, who commanded the ship
on which Admiral Schley was during
the blockade and engagement at
Santiago: "What was the conduct
and bearing of Commodore Schley
during the battle of July 3rd?"
Capt Cook answered: al cannot
Imagine any conduct in battle more
admirable. He was cool, brave and
enthusiastic from the beginning to
the end of the action" These words
coming from the lips of an honor
able man who was with Schley on
his ship in the action should fully
satisfy the American people that
further procedure in the inquiry is
useless and that the popular verdict,
SO long rendered, as to Schley's
bravery and courage must stand in
spite of the circle of enemies that
would injure the character and ira
duce the name of an honorable mem.

THE GAY CARNIVAL.

The Richmond Carnival came to
an end Saturday night at IL O'Clock
after SIX days OF gayety and misrule.
The parades were witnessed by tens
of thousands and Broad street at
night presented a scene that those
who saw it will never forget. The
entire street was mass Of humanity,
electric lights and shows. BOYS
spoke to every girl, the favorite ex-
preston being: "Good morning.
Carrie" and confetti flew thick and
fast, while canes were snatched, hair
pulled, hats knocked off aid every
thing else ridiculous that could be
thought of.
The main feature of the Carnival
was the Horse Show, and the thou
sands that attended attested the
popularity of the four-legged beau
ties. 1t is now an assured thing that
the Horse Show has come to Rich
mond to stay and will henceforth
become an annual event. The fea-
ture of the last night of the Horse
Show was the high jumping con-
test, and when Amaret, ridden by
his owner, q. Ii. Hurkamp, of
Fredericksburg, cleared the bars at
six feet one and a half inches the
crowd went wild with enthusiasm,
Blackbird, owned 10y Wyeth and
West, of Baltimore, took the Jump,
but knocked off the top bar. The
following afternoon Mr.. Hurkamp
displayed great nerve in the hun
ter's class. The heavyweight Jump
er, Hornpipe, came crashing to the
ground. For minute it looked as
though Mr.. Hurkamp was no more,
but he mounted and flushed. He
at once entered the arena with
Amaret when once more horse and
rider bit the dust in taking one of
the high jumps. But he was not
dismayed and amid the screams of
the women mounted and finished
the race. He put two other horses
over the fences in great stvle.
The railroads brought more than
$4,000 visitors to the city, larger
number than last year, and the
members of the Carnival Association
say enough money is in hand to
cover the enormous expenses.
