MRS. FELTON, ADDRESSES
Members of the Georgia Legislature on
school System of State.

Members of the Georgia Legislature on
School System of State.
ATLANTA, Nov 14.-Mrs. W. H. Eel
ton addressed the general assembly to-
day in JOINT session on the school sys.
tenn of the state.
Mrs. FELTON, appealed in behalf Of the
taxpayers to either improve the system
or abolish it.
If it is right to wiring compulsory taxes
from the taxpayers to run the system,
then it is equally right to require com.
pulsory attendance of the children.
Mrs. FELTON, said the system had cost
nearly 10000. 900 in 80 years and yet
only 40 per cent of the children were the
benefciaries.
Either require compulsory education
or return to the private pay schools
prior to the war was her plea.
The inheritance tax bill of Hitch of
Chatham was being considered when
the time arrived for Mrs Felton's ad-
dress and was again taken up at its con-
clusion and the rollcall finished when
the bill was defeated.
The senate did not vote on the
Wright dispensary bill today, but made
it the special order for next Wednes-
day.
The temperance committee amended
by requiring one. third of the qualified
voters to call an election under it's pro.
visions
rhe Hardaway bill to castrate rapists
again passed the senate, after providing
for the operation.

IRON TRADE REVIEW.
October a Record Breaker In the Pro


October a Record Breaker In the Pro.
duction of Pig.
NEW York, Nov. IA. The Iron
Age says;
"Our reports from the pig iron manu-.
facturers, covering production in Octo-.
Der, show that the month was record
breaker. The output reached the total
of l, 400, 900 tons, or at the rate of 49,
800,0 900 tons per annum. The furnaces
in blast on Nov. had weekly capacity
of 800, 1874 tons, based on their actual
yield in October. This is in excess OF
any previous records.
''The coke and anthracite furnaces
reporting stocks, comprising practically
all the furnaces making foundry and
forge iron, had only 223. 089 tons on
hand Nov. /, against 299, 1874 tons on
Oct. |, which is a reduction OF rs, 7S5
tons.
The charcoal furnaces reported a re-
duction of IL ,607 tons in the same time.
This is the heaviest reduction in stocks
made in q single month in a long pe-
riod and 1t was made concurrently with
a great increase in production. The
pig iron situation Is strengthened by the
great difficulty still experienced in se-
curing coke by reason of the shortage of
cars.
'Pig iron for steelmaking is in sharp
demand. A 5000 lot of Cornwall Bes.
semer was taken at an advanced price.
Basic pig is about 25 cents higher at
eastern furnaces, with a great deal of
business under negotiation.
"Some large contracts have been
placed for steel rails, including $4,000
tons by the Baltimore and Ohio. 80, 600
tons by the Illinois Central railroad and
10000 tons by the Wabash. Railroad
companies that have not yet arranged
for their next years requirements will
not now be able to get orders in for sum-
mer delivery, except for small lots. The
important statement is made that the
rail mills of the United States Steel COR
poration have their total output for 1904
under contract.
''The American Shipbuilding COM
pany has contracted for large tonnage
of plates for lake vessels. The proba-
bilities now point to a consolidation of
several important plate mills in eastern
Pennsylvania "
