SPECIAL TRAIN BROUGHT SHOW
Gentry Shows Arrived While the City
Silent.

While the city slept last night the
special train carrying Gentry Brothers
shows arrived over the Central of GeOr-
gia, and at the time of going to press
workmen were unloading and transfer
ing the shows to the grounds corner
Furlow and Hancock streets,
Some of the principal features of the
show are 200 educated ponies, $50 dog
actors, IS monkeys, balloons and
GIBBONS, two herds of performing ele-
plants, three droves Siberian camels
and other animals to be found only in
a Gentry menagerie.
In addition to the trained animal
exhibition they have augmented the
shows with a number of sensational
circus features which they are present
ing for the first time.
Owing to the fact that several circuses
abandoned the street parade this year,
Gentry Brothers are now presenting
the finest street pageant ever presented
by any circus; it being almost one mile
long and which will parade the princi-
pal streets here at 1890 o'clock.
There are two performances here. af-
ternOOn and evening.

THINKS CONDITION IS ALARMING
Crops in South Georgia is Poorest
in Years.

Captain w. w. Dews is in the city,
arriving yesterday from an extended
business trip through the southern por-
ton of the state, The cotton crop there,
Captain Dews says, is the poorest in
twenty years. 1t is nearly all gathered,
and there is little of it. Many farmers
and merchants, he says, are despon-
dent at the outlook from the standpoint
ofcollections. There is plenty of corn,
cane, potatoes, etc., but cotton, the
debt-paying crop, is wellnigh a failure.
The crop in Sumter he says, is far bet
ter than that of other counties in which
he has just travelled.

ouAMDARY ABOUT SCHOOL TAX
Doubt as to Right to Collect From
Railroads.

The various school districts and the
several counties of the state which
have voted in favor of the local school
tax system under the McMichael bill
are in somewhat of quandary. 1t was
recently decided by Attorney General
John c. Hart that under the amended
law no local school tax could be col
lected from the railroad companies
prior to 1907, because the new law does
not provide for special returns to fit
the case until next year. Now the
question is, can these school districts
and counties collect the classes of pro-
perty without violating the constitu-
tional provision against class legisla-
ton?

LINCOLN. May e-(specisl)-T state
Board Of Assessment begins it's annual
sessment Of railroad property tomorrow
and inasmuch as the Burlington and the
Union Pacific have both eujoined the coll
lection Of their taxes for 1904 and 1896,
levied in the assessment made by the state
board. and because three members Of the
board are candidates for reelection, more
than usual interest attaches to the coming
sessions.
II is likely the board will take with a
grain Of salt the report OF the Burlington
that its net earnings this year are less
than the year before. owing to the great
prosperity enjoyed by tho entire country
and the greatly increased incomes reported
by other roads.
Frequent conferences have been held by
the board members and II is probable the
members will get together with a better
understanding OF the railroad taxation
problem than ever before. In years pastit
has been customary for the board 10 meet
and then depend upon the reports and the
speeches OF the railroad representatives
and a talk from an anti-railroad man, for
enlightenment, but things have changed
lately. and members OF the board have
placed themselves I'm a position to be as
familiar with the subject as railroad tax
agents. Since the two big systems have
been resisting in the courts the collection
of their taxes. at least some members of
the board have devoted much more time to
the study Of railroad taxation than any
other duties devolving upon them. and they
will 60 into this meeting thoroughly posted

The Northwestern system. which has
10 fnw %
ment because It did not line up with the
other two roads in their tax injunction
suit, will, in all probability be placed on
the gridiron this session of the board and
will be asked some very pertinent ques-
tions relative to its value. The result is
liable to be a big increase in the assess
ment OF this road, even though last year
the road insisted on a reduction. The
| report OF the Northwestern to its stock
holders, in the opinion OF some people,
| shows some good reasons why this road
was content to remain out Of the railroad
suit and this report may be taken as a
