GEORGIA GETS HONOR
FIRST TO NAME CITY AFTER
FATHER or COUNTRY.
Town Of Washington chrIstened RI
i77a-History Proving Contention
Of Resident Brought to Light
and Fixed BY Records.

Washington. Ga.-After much and
long protracted discussion ii has been
settled when, where and how this
town was named in honor of George
Washington. These are the facts as
they have been ascertained
The name Washington was chosen
by the people Of Wilkes county Tor
their new town IN the year 177s, and
confirmed BY the general assembly In
January. 1850.
Historians have been prone to doubt
and question these dates, claiming
that in 1880 was the dark year In
Georgia and that no session Of the
general assembly was held in that
year Augusta had fallen. Savannah
had fallen and the whole state was in
the hands Of the enemy. This Is very
nearly true, but not quite SO.
The "ceded lands. which seven
years previous had been bought from
the Indians and called Wilkes, for
John Wilkes. our friend In the Brit
lsh parliament was one spot in the
state not under British rule, This
was due to our victory at the battle
81 Kettle Greek.
Stephen Heard. president OF the as.
sembiy, was acting governor. because
George Walton. the governor, was in
Philadelphia attending the council
there. And Wilkes county being the
only spot free from British rule,
Stephen Heard moved the state papers
and records 10 the courthouse al
HeaFd's Fort Heard's Fort. there
fore, became the capital OF Georgia
for The time being. And It was here
that the only session Of the state ieE.
islatuFe or assembly was held in the
year 1880 It was at this session that
the act was passed confirming the
name Washington chosen for the little
town to be laid out around the site of
Heard's Fort.
In Watkins Digest, the oldest com
pilation Of the legislative acts Of
Georgia. will be found the proofs Of
this statement. as follows:

IDAHO LAND
 OPENING

Boise, Idaho, Oct., Lone hum dred and fifty thousand acres of Carey act land, at the new town of Jeromne, Lincoln county, was open ed today by means of a drawing in charge of the Idaho state land board. Contrary to the government demand that a settler live on his property five years to prave the ti- tie. those securing land under the Carey act may prove up at the ex- piration of thirty days. The price of the land opened today is S5.50 per acre, in ten annual installments. An irrigation canal is now being con- struucted through the tract, starting with a $1,O0O,000 dam at Miner. Three towns have been established to be connected by an electric rail- road. The irrigation project is be- ing financed by the Kuhns, the well known Pittsburg bankers.

MICHIGAN TO PUT
 BAN ON LOBBY

Lansing, Mich, Oct, l.-An. act abolishing lobbying will probably be among the measures passed by the special session of the Michigan legislature which convened today, at the call of Governor Warner Lansing has been flooded with pro- fessional lobbyists in past years and they were much in evidence in the last session.
 Consideration of the primary bill is the principal matter befare the special session. The governor wishes the law so fixed that a plurality of votes shall suffice to nominate can didates for governor and lieutenant governor. Under existing direct nominatian laws, candidates for county, legislative and city officials, are nominated by pluralities. with out regard to the total vote, the 40 per cent clause of the primary cleo tion act applying only to the gover- nor and the lieutenant governor. Friends of the measure will oppose any attempt to eliminate the ob- jectionable feature, insisting that without an established minimum and with field of candidates cer- tain to develop under the primary system, populous country with a "favorite son. might establish plurality that would carry the nomi- nation, as against the widely scat tered vote of the other S2 counties of the state.

NEW FOREIGN MAIL
 REGULATIONS

Washington, Oct. 1.-What is con- sldered the most important change in the accounting system of the gov ernment since that required by the ,Dockery act in 1894, went into ef- feet today. The new regulations are most far reaching and apply to the accounts of all parts and branches of the government service, except to accounts relating to the postal revenues and expenditures there from, accounts of pension agents and moneys ill the registry courts. The system is based on certain re- commentators of the committee on department methods, and contem- plates that the paid checks of dis bursting officers will be received by che auditors of the treasury de- partent, and will be compared by those officers with the vouchers in payment of which they are issued. Disbursing officers will hereafter be required to analyze their balances, which analysis will be verified by the several auditors.
 As a corollary to the system the practice of obtaining receipts in advance of actual payments will be discontinued and hereafter receipts will be required or accepted only when payments are made in cash that is, currency, by disbursing of |fcers in person or deputy. Vouchers lin exact duplicated and triplicate Twill no longer be taken.
