There hass probably never been 9
religious revival IN Okolona where
unanimity Of cordial cooperation has
been as broad &c at the one just COM
ing to a close at the Methodist church.
Especial credit is due to Mrs. A. T.
stovall, the organIst Of the church,
who has given her whole time and
used her personal popularity to draw
to her assistance all who would add to
the musical feature Of the meetings,
That she has been amply repaid for
her efforts is verified by the fact that
large number Of the most cultured
and talented singers Of the city have
been regular attendants at practically
every service. Much credit ia dne e
Mrs. Stovan for the success Of the mus.

CASTRO REFUSES
TO ARBITRATE.
Makes Sharp Reply to Minis

Willemstadt, Island of Cura-
Goa, March 24.-It is announced
from Caracas, Venezuela, that
President Castro today replied
to Minister Bowen's final propo-
sal for arbitration denying Ven"
ezuela has questions pending
with the United States and say
ing the case of the New York
and Bermudese Asphalt company
must remain in the courts.
Minister Bowen cabled the
state department today from
Caracas tina. President Castro
had fatty refused to arbitrate
the pending issues between Ven
ezuela and the United States.
The administration will take
no action in regard to the reply
of President Castro 10 Minister
Bowen. The matter was fully
discussed at the cabinet meeting
today and it was determined to
allow the matter to await develop
ments.
The situation is considered
such as not to necessarily inter-
fere with the departure of the
president on his southwestern
trip.

impounded by the marshal or po-
liceman 10 suita BILE pound and,
when so impounded, shall be adj
vertised at the post Office and
council chamber by the marshal
for ten days, at the end of which
time they shall be sold if not re-
deemed by the owner.
/. We think it clear that, I'M
der the general welfare clause in
the charter of the city of Cor
dele, the mayor and council have
authority to pass the ordinance
above set out. This clause of the
charter is similar to that occur
ing in most of the charters
granted to municipal corpora
tons by the Legislature of this
state. This general welfare
clause conters broad and general
powers upon the city authorities.
Under such clause the municip-
al authorities can pass any reas-
enable ordinance for the health,
safety protection, comfort, and
good government of the people of
the city which is not in conflict
with the special provisions of the
charter or with the Constitute
and laws of the state.
2. Incidental to this power, and
in order to make such ordinance
effectua1, the city had authority
to provide that the marshal
should seize and impound hogs
found at large upon the streets
and sidewalks, and, after 10 days
advertisement, to sell the same
unless they were redeemed by
the owners paying the cost of
feeding and the impounding fee
of so cents.

The right of a city government
to prevent the running at
large of hogs, cows and stock on
it's streets where no special au-
thority is given in the charter
has been upheld by the Supreme
court of Georgia in a decision
rendered Jan. II, 1905. It was
the case Crum VS.. Bray from
Cordele. The parties were D.
A. r. Crnm, senator from that
district, and City Marshal Bray,
and the impounding was done
under precisely the same con-
ditions as in thc cases now
in the courts against the city of
Fitzgerald.
This will probably settle the
Fitzgerald cases, and the pound
will be re.opened.

VALUE OF THE COTTON CROP

The annual report of Secretary
Hester of the New Orleans Cotton
Exchange, issued September s,
contains some instructive facts. He
makes the crop of 1904 3, 13, $50, $50
bales-an increase of 3,554, oil
over the preceding crop. Texas
and Indiana Territory furnished
70S, 900 bales of this increase.
The commercial value of the
crop was $46,31 per bale, as against
$61.6S last year.
The enormous crop sold for$62S,
1876, $50 which was only trifle
more than the crop of 1903 4
brought to farmers-$617, sol, 548.
The highest figure reached fol
middling was IL 3-16 in September
at the opening of the season. The
lowest was 81 cents on December 20
The average value per pound
for the crop just past was 8 98-1OC
cents, compared with II 15-1OO fo1
last year.
Let us now make few estimates
on the present crop on a basis o.
TO cents to learn what the entire
crop will bring to us when market
ed. Last years bumper crop, sell
ing at about 8 cents, broug ht tt
the South 62S million dollars il
round numbers. A 10000, OOO-bal,
crop, this seasons estimate, if solo
at 10 cents, will bring us only 5O(
million dollars.
Valuing the crop at II cents
minimum fixed by the farmers
organizations-the short crop will
bring $50 million dollars.
Were this larger sum of money
distributed to all the varied inter
ests concerned in the growing ant
marketing of this years crop, thu
millions of men, women and child
rem on the farms and plantations
of the South, the earnings of thu
individual grower will not Warrant
any sense of exultation or a purse

AMERICA A LAND OF MURDER

Statistics show that the average
number of murders committed an
uually in this country is about TO-
900. A large per cent. of murderers
are inadequately punished or es-
cape punishment entirely. The
crime of murder is more common
in the United States than in any
other country. This is because it
is comparatively easy to escape
punishment. The need of reform
of our criminal court system is
apparent. Too much latitude is
given criminal lawyers. In no
other country is their such unre-
strained license to insult witnesses
on the stand; to attack their char
acters before the jury; to appeal
to the passions and prejudice of
ignorant jurors, to pick jurors, to
secure continuances with the view
of wearing the case out, etc. These
practices are tolerated through
custom, but custom does not make
them right.

OFFICIALS IN OPEN RgegLLloN

The disgraceful proceedings en~
acted in the passenger depot in
Atlanta on Saturday wherein the
mayor and some of his paid ennis
saries made an attack upon a
passenger train IN an effort to
hold coach filled with yellow
fever refugees, would seem TO call
for interference from Gov Terrell
III interest of the peace and safety
of the state-interference quickly
and most effectively.
This latest fia5co of Wood wards
made him appear even more ridi-
culous than did his disgraceful
debauch in Toledo.
If the laws of the state of Geor
gia are to be respected they should
be backed up, even by a regiment
OF troops if necessary, and the
situation has reached that pass in
Atlanta where the law is o~enly
defed and the entirestate menaced.
is any such city official and a
lot of his irresponsible underlines
more powerful than the laws of
Georgia?
The case in full is thus d discussed
by the Telegraph.
'sWhen yellow fever got abroad
in Louisiana, in Mississippi, in
Florida, and some cases in Ala
bama, the state board declared a
quarantine against infected dis
tricts, and attempted to enforce
its order. Atlanta d. clared itself
an open city, independent and
above the state board. Then came
conflict between the Atlanta
board and the state board.
whenever Mr.. Woodward, the
mayor of Atlanta, hears of a refu-
gee coming from an infected point,
and he keeps spoilers out to look
for them, he orders out the police
to arrest the state board should
that body attempt to prevent the
newcomer from landing. And some
how or other the state board off
Gals are always just out of reach
when Atlanta cops come marching
up with their billies.
"In palmer words, it is a case
OF Atlanta defying the state, and
of municipal officer threatening
the arrest and Imprisonment o.
state officers. And what seems
peculiar, the state crowd seems te
run away from the issue with the
bully boys with the billies.
ave have always had a kind O.
impression that Atlanta had some
thing more than sneaking notion
that she was bigger than old Geor
gia-that she was the whole stat,
establishment, and enough more
than that to lap over ON severa
other states;but we never expected
to see the day come when the towl
would take up arms and billies il
open rebellion against the state @
Georgia; or that Georgia would
run away from the issue. Yet W,
have seen both.
"Atlanta assumes that she i:
immune from yellow fever and i.
above the state law.
"Suppose she is immune, which
may be doubted in the light of tn,
new mosquito theory, has she Z
moral right (to say nothing of thu
legal question involved to invite
and harbor germs which may in
feet other Georgia cities? Their,
have been yellow fever epidemics
in Savannah, Brunswick and Balm
bridge, in this state.
"Shall Atlanta, for the sake of g
little boarding house money, a little
cheap notoriety, small advertise
ment, imperil her sister cities? And
as far as her own superior purity
and immunity it is well to bear in
mind that Philadelphia, New York
Boston, and even Quebec, have in
days past had yellow fever cpl
denies"
