LUMBER MEN WIN.
Sweeping Decision In Their Favor BY
Georgia Court.

Macon, Ga, Sept.-Judge Emory
Speer rendered a decision Saturday
touching the famous lumber rate case

against the Southern and other lines
of the Southeastern Tariff Association.
in which it was held that lumbermen
who were members of the Georgia as
ISOLATION and also of the Georgia-F1or-
ida association at the time of the fl
ing of the suit in 1903, also those who
have since become members and out
siders in the Georgia and Florida lum-
Der belt who have suffered from the
extra two cents per hundred pounds to
Ohio river points and the West, are
entitled to recover such sums as they
have been forced to pay under the
raised tariff. This was a sweeping de-
cision and let in all the lumbermen
who were expecting an adjustment Of
claims. The lumber dealers are al
lowed to file claims both with the
standing master, J. N. Talley, and with
the clerk of the court. There will be
more than s1,00000O involved and
much time will be required for a full
hearing of all the claims.

Increase Efficiency of Schools.
Circular letters have been sent out
by superintendent of Public Instruc-

asking them for closer cooperation
with the state office in educational
affairs. superintendent Doyne par
Ucularly desires the assistance of the
school directors in the furtherance of
school work. The letter follows:
The year closing June 80 1907,
marked progress in the work and
worth of the public schools of our
state, and l feel that the interest you
have taken in the educational affairs
of your county has been, in large
measure, instrumental in bringing
about this Improvement There is
much, however, that may yet be done,
and it is the desire of this department
to aid you in doing yet greater things
for the benefit of the children of our
commonwealth. The school directors
have not yet been fully enlisted, and,
in many instances, are not alive to
the Importance Of the trust committed
to them. In a few counties efforts
have been made to organize the di-
rectors and have them meet at stated
times for the discussion of matters
pertaining to their Office. Why not
do this in your county, if it has not
been done? | would like to send out
circular letter to the school direct
ors of the state, calling their attention
to this and other important matters,
provided | can have your cooperation.
Should the circular be prepared, will
you endeavor to place one in the
hands of each director in your county,
preparatory to effecting an organiza
ton later on? l will be glad to hear
from you, with suggestions at your
earliest convenience"

Boil WeeviI Pest Checked.

Commissioner of Agriculture Guy B.
Tucker states that Arkansas is now
remarkably free from the boil weevil.
1t has been only in recent years that
the weevil was discovered in Arkan-
sas, and because of fortunate circum-
stances, with the weather as the prin-
clpal factor the boil weevil has been
confined to a limited area in the
southern tier of counties. Continued
hot weather and an absence of rain,
where the pest had made its appear
ance, combined to eradicate the worm.
In warm, cloudy days, and in damp
atmosphere the weevil best propo-
gates. Those surroundings are neces-
sary for the development of the pupe.

Higher Price for Cotton.

While in Arkansas recently, Harvie
Jordan, president of the Southern
Cotton Association, said: "On account
of the drouth, boil weevil and the
scarcity of labor the cotton acreage
is possibly not as large as it was last
year. The total value of the 1906
crop was approximately $800,O0OO0O
This year it should be billion and
will if the national Executive Commit
tee fixes a higher price at its meet
ing at Jackson, Miss, next month.
There is no question but that there
will be a material advance, and
think that it will not be less than

To Protect Pearl Fisheries.

DR.. George F. Kunz, who is aiding
the development of Arkansas diamond
fields, is also actively engaged in
pushing the movement to save the
Western pearl fisheries from destruc-
ton. A few years ago mussels, from
which pearls are obtained, were plen-
tiful in all the Western rivers, but
owing to their promiscuous slaughter
by the fishermen the number is being
rapidly diminished. New York dealers
headed by DR.. KunZ, have recently
sent a petition to the proper authori-
ties at Washington asking that con-
ditions affecting the mussels be inves-
tigated and steps taken to prevent
their total determination. Federal
commissioners have already started
on a trip to investigate the Arkansas
pearl fisheries of White river. After
making this trip report will be
issued on the subject and it is thought
that the industry will be placed under
federal control in short time.
