WANT TO BE COUNTY SITES.
Meter and Dover Are Seeking This
Distinction.

Distinction.
Statesboro, Ga, July 1S.-The pas
sage of the bill in the Legislature, call
ing for constitutional amendment al
lowing the formation of eight new
counties has put the Meter people to
thinking. 1t is reported that the citi-
zens of that town and community have
had a public meeting and will ask for
d new county to be formed out of por-
tons of BullOch, Tattnall and Eman-
uel, with Meter as the county seat.
If Bulloch and Tattnall and Emanuel
lose all the slices that are sought from
their territories they will hardly know
themselves when the thing is over
with.
While the ball is rolling it is suggest
ed that Dover be made the seat of a
new county formed out of portions of
Bulloch and Screven. 1t is not
thought however, that either Meter
or Dover will succeed.
The wilt or black root disease is re-
ported to have appeared in the cotton
of this county, and some of the farm
ers have become alarmed and wish a
government expert to visit this place
to see if anything can be done. The
disease is reported to have made great
Roadway upon the large fields of Mrs.
MaXey Foy and Mr.. w. S. Preetorius.
According to State Entomologist New
ell, nothing can be done to eradicate
the disease but cultivate a hardy kind
of seed that will resist it. The Agri-
cultural Department at Washington
will furnish a small amount of this
kind of seed upon application and by
careful picking and economy, enough
can be accumulated within a year or so
TO supply the demand for planting.
The Statesboro Gun Club has come
to life again.
The game of lawn tennis is attract
ing considerable attention among the
young ladies and gentlemen and some
expert players have been developed.

ed in forming associations in the viii

TAX DIGEST RECEIVED.
Three Out of Four Counties Heard
from Show Increases.

from Show Increases.
Atlanta, July 18.-Tax digests from
four counties were received to-day by
Controller General William A. Wright,
three ofwhich show a healthy increase
over last years returns, only one
showing a decrease. The counties
heard from are Lowndes, Schley, Cor
don and Pickens. Here is how they
showed up: Lowndes county, an in
crease of $217, 422 over the returns of
1903; Gordon county, an increase of
S70,911 over the returns of last year;
Schley county, an increase of $49,536
over the returns of last year.
The only decrease shown was in
Pickens county, where the returns
slumped some $4,000.
Other counties, which will send their
digests in within the next few days,
however, are expected to make up for
this decrease. Fulton, Richmond,
Bib, Chatham, Floyd and Muscogee
counties will likely send their digests
in showing an increase of nearly one
million dollars. They have done this
for the past few years with clock-like
regularity.

DANVILLE IS UNEASY
With the Fear That Seals May BE
Lynched.

Danville, Va. July 1S.-It is gener-
ally feared that the Southern Railway
employees are preparing to make a
demonstration against Roy Seals, the
colored prisoner in the city jail, charg-
ed with the killing of James L.. Armes
last Friday. r. B. Talbot, night
Waterman, who was with Armes when
the fatal shot was fired, has positively
identified the prisoner as the man who
did the shooting. He says there is no
doubt about Seals guilt.
The Danville Light Infantry, the
only military organization in the city,
left last night for ST. Louis. 1t is gem
orally believed that the fellow-work-
men and friends of the murdered man
we're only waiting for the soldiers to
be out of the city to make a demon
stration against the prisoner. Threats
were openly made on the day following
the shooting that lynching would take
place If the guilty person could be
captured. There is a feeling Of I'M
easiness apparent in the city.
