RESOLUTION.

The Former Procedure In the
Courts to Be Gone Through With
Again-LocaI Dispensary Bills TO
BE Given Special Consideration
Next week-Mr. Wells Fuel and
Stationery Bill sisned-War Tax
Resolution Approved.
Atlanta, Dec. 14.-The most import
ant measure passed at this session.
the resolution by Senator Howell, pro-
viding for the payment Of the inter
est on the bonded debt for 1902 out OF
the public property fund was signed by
the Governor tonight
Treasurer r. E. Park will refuse on
Monday to act in accordance with the
resolution calling on him to transfer
the public property fund to interest
account, and on Tuesday Attorney
General Terrell will file a mandamus
suit against the treasurer in the Su-
perior Court of Fulton county.
The case will then be carried on to
the Supreme Court and there decided
before anything is done. 1t is expected
a decision will be secured by Jan. l,
If not before.
The Governor to-day signed the res
olution calling on Congress to appro-
pirate the money in the United States
treasury arising from the war tax on
cotton and the sale of captured ana
abandoned property, to education In
the Southern states.
He has put aside all the local dis
pensary bills. and will take them up
the first of the week. He says he VIII
consider each case on its own merits,
and there is likelihood that some OF
them will be vetoed. -,
In the Wilkes county case there Will
be a hearing of the contesting factions
before the Governor on Monday.
The Chatham County Bills.
Gov. Gambler to-day approved one
of the local Chatham county bllls. II
was the bill by Mr.. Wells, striking
out from the act creating the County
commissioners the section requiring
them to pay the ordinary and clerk
of the Superior Court $50 a year TOT
stationery and fuel, and providing that
the Commissioners shall hereafter luf-
nish them with stationery.
The other local bills Of chatham
which passed the Senate yesterday
have not yet reached the Governor, but
will no doubt do so by Monday.
Hon. William Harden wrote the
Governor a letter before leaving the
city, calling his attention to these
measures and asking him to sign
them, which will no doubt be done.
The Governor must sign all of the
bills passed by the General Assembly
by next Thursday night at midnight
or they fail to become laws.

CANE TOPS FOR SEED.

Fully Mntured Joints.

Give Just as Good Results as the

cambridge, Ga, Dec. IA see in
the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, that the
Louisiana Experiment Station has dis
covered that the tops of cane. that are
cut of before 1t is stripped of its fod-
der, preparatory to having the juice
extracted from it. could be planted
ana would produce just as good cane
,as any of the rest of the stalk. This
is so, for have seen it done, and have
often wondered why the farmers did
not utilize the tops in this way instead
of throwing them away. Several years
ago l happened to be at the house of
q prominent farmer Of this county,
at the time the cane was being topped
and stripped preparatory to being
ground. / went out into the field and
noticed that the gentleman had some
rows freshly listed up four feet apart,
and that all the tops, as they were cut,
were taken up and distributed in the
rows. AS l had never seen this done,
] asked him the reason, he said, that
his father and himself had always
planted the tops, and that they made
Just as good cane as the whole stalk.
He said, that he listed up, in four
foot rows as much land as he thought
the tops would plant, and after the
tops were placed rather thickly in the
water furrow with the fodder on them,
that he relisted the soil back on the
tops and let it remain all the winter.
In the spring, when the shoots be-
gan to appear he threw the dirt away
from the rows, leaving a narrow ridge.
He then distributed fertilizer on both
sides of the ridge and threw two
burrows on it, and afterwards Guilt
waited 1t as usual, and had never fail
ed to make a good crop or get a good
stand. He also said that better results
could be obtained and much trouble
saved by having the ground ready and
planting the cane with the fodder on
as IT was dug up, instead of banking
1t until spring and then planting It
he had tried II and always did so
when convenient. / saw his cane croI
the following summer, and If there
was any difference between that which
was produced by the whole stalk and
the tops, could not detect it. l have
since mentioned this plan to several
farmers and some of them have tried
1t with good results.
