from all parts of the state. and IT is like
~ that the act providing for the right of
communities and counties to incorporate
for the purposes of taxation for schools
only will be one of the frst to pass the
house and the senate and become a law.
The bill will likely first come up in the
senate. Senator Johnson. Of the Fifth dis
.trict, will present the bill.
. Commissioner. Glenn, since the agitation
of the question commenced, has received
much encouragement in the movement,
and he believes that 1t will meet with sue

The movement is a popular one" said
Commissioner Glenn this morning Aside

BIG DIVIDEND FROM I
AGRICULTURAL DEPT,
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
HAS PAID FOR PRESENT YEAR
$47,45z.1s NET.

A larger amount has been cleared by the
state department of agriculture this year
on the Inspection of fertilizers and oils
than ever before. Is
The department has turned into the
state treasury during the fiscal year
received from the inspection Tof fertllizers
and approximately $4,000 received from
the inspection of oils. ~se.s
These amounts exceed the net amounts
turned into the state from the same
sources on any previous year by about
$4,000.
This showing is regarded as remark
able. The total makes the department OF
agriculture self-sustaining by more than
$40 900. No department Of the state gov
eminent can make as good showing Of
its financial condition as this, and the
Iarye increase in the amount this year has
been surprise to Commissioner Stevens
and the other oficials Of the department.
In recent years the department has
grown to be one OF the most important
Of the state government, and has done
much through it's fertilizer and oil. de-
partments toward protecting the farmers
and others using these products from be-
ing imposed upon by dealers Of spurious
goods. e
The large amount of tags sold this year
shows a large increase of fertilizer used
Commissioner o. B. Stevens said that he
thought the Ss7 coo which the department
turns into the treasury over and above
all expenses of the department should be
appropriated by the state for the estab-
Hshment in different sections OF Georgia
of experiment stations similar TO the one
at Griffin.
ct think" said Mr.. Stevens, that this
amount should be used for the establish
ment Of experiment stations in the south
ern, northern and eastern portions OF the
state. allowing the experiment station at
Griffin to remain for the middle and west
ern sections of the state.
'I believe the state owes this much to
the farmers. These stations would be of
great benefit to them. Aa
''If the state would appropriate this fund
for that purpose 1 think 1t would be suf-
fcient to bear the expenses of these sta
lions without any additional appropria-
ton from the general assembly.

PRIMARY in MISSISSIPPI.

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 7.-That there

The fact that the candidates under the
statute are required to get In each county

Byrd this morning" the capitol Is. crowd

Made to Marry a Bandit.
PARIS, Sept. pa Paris newspaper
correspondent sends word to The Figaro,
on the staff of which he is employed, that
he has just returned from a VISIT to Miss
Ellen M. Stone, of the American board of
foreign missions, who is held by brigands
In a mountainous region of Turkey.
The correspondent wires that he sue
ceeded in locating Miss Stone in an almost
inaccessible mountain defile. The chief of
the outlaws permitted the correspondent
to see Miss Stone and talk with her. Miss
Stone told her visitor that she had been
treated with exceeding courtesy ever since
her capture. ,.....
Two brigands were detailed to act as
her personal servants, providing her with
good food and showing her every atten-
ton. The brigands had instructions to
obey her merest within, and to show with
what degree of consideration she was
treated she told the newspaper man that
having exhausted all of the films for her
kodak she had said that she wished she
had more. The desire was repeated to the
chief of the brigands, who at once posted
a courier off to Constantinople to secure
a supply for her. This meant a week of
steady travelling by mule over dangerous
and rocky mountain paths.
The leader of the brigands told the cor
respondent that unless ransom of $780,
900 was forthcoming within 30 days Miss
Stone would either be put to death or

HEAVY LIQUIDATION : ''.~
IN NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW. YORK, Sept. 2S.-Heavy nquida-
ton has been effected in the stock market
during the week and some violent de-
clines caused. The collapse in AmalgaTpa-
ted Copper has caused realizing else
where especially by speculative pools
which had counted upon continued sup
port of the market. The abandonment
of support by the financial powers seems
to be due to a decision to postpone some
important financial projects for which a
firm stock market was desirable and to
an unwillingness or inability to require
gold from abroad to offset the interior
demand. The liquidation in the stock
market has sensibly relieved the market
and strengthened the banking situation.

LINCOLN UNDER CEMENT.

SPRINGFIELD, H.. Sept. 2s.-The burial
OF the remains OF Abraham Lincoln has
practically been completed. Half a doz-
en- workmen were occupied all day yester-
day cementing over the cage In which the
casket was placed Thursday In the Vault
at the base Of the monument shaft. Over
six feet of cement had been laid over the
casket when work was suspended last
night.
The remainder OF the cement win be
laid today and then the tile flooring of
the tomb viii be laid. The marble sar-
cophagus, originally intended for the re-
ception OF the body. viii be replaced in
its old position in the tomb early next
week
1t is thought now that no further re-
moval OF the body will ever be made. The
casKet is buried thirteen feet In the
ground, beneath the tomb containing the
crypts where lie others of the
family. On a cement base four feet In
thickness rests the iron cage enclosing
the casket Above the cage will be eight
feet of solid masonry. 1t would take a
large force Of workmen several days to
exhume the casket under the most favor
able circumstances.
