Note the improvements.

The old students returning are agree
ably surprised by the improvements
that have been made or are in progress.
Most notable among these is the paw
ing of Seventh avenue and the rebuild
ing of the retaining wall to hold the
college terrace. This latter work is
still in progress. The wall is made of
concrete, and an effort is being made
TO set it deep enough and make it of
sufficient strength to hold the great
pressure of earth behind it,

STATE TAX RATE THE LIMIT.
1t May BE That the County Rate viii
Be Reduced a Little.

The state tax rate for 1908 will
be mills, or s. on each $1,000 of
property returned for taxation.
This is the constitutional limit of
taxation in Georgia, and is the same
rate as was levied last year.
The tax rate is fixed by the gov
ernOr, with the assistance of the
comptroller general, as required by
law, and the order has just been is
sued.
The board of commissioners will
fix the tax rate for Terrell county at
their September meeting next Tues
day, and they hope to make it a
little less than the levy of last year
when it was $500 on the thousand.
Last year they had to borrow $1,000
on account of the dispensary, which
had been paying the expenses of the
county, being put out of business
This year they have had to borrow
only $500.
The county school tax has already
been decided the board of edu-
cation, and is $500 on the thousand,
the same as it was last year.

OF Jesus Christ in its simple and
Subljma Varitioc

of Jesus Christ in its simple and
sublime verities.
Despite the threatening weather a
large number heard Dr. Dickey on
Monday evening in his lecture, In
trOspectiOn Versus the Outward
Look" He showed himself to be
fully abreast of the times on all the
great questions. His style is schol-
arly and cultured, and his every ar
gument rational and convincing.
In discussing the great missionary
movement he declared it must gather
its impetus from the vitalizing forces
at work in the home land. The
greatest need of the church is a
patriotism thoughtful and honest,
not found in the intellect alone, but
born in the profound depths of love
to God and humanity. He pleaded
for a higher type of American citi-
zenship that would make our cOun-
try a beacon light to lead the world
to Christ. In closing Dr. Dickey
quoted the immortal words of Benz.
H. Hill: 'WhO saves his country
saves himself, saves all things, and
all things saved do bless him; who
let's his country die dies himself, lets
all things die, and all things dying
curse him" He appropriated the
thought, substituting the church.
The chautauqua will continue
through this week, with an address
at the church each evening, and close
next Sunday with a sermon and ad-
dress by Bishop w. A. Gambler. Fol-

ORR HEARING AGAIN CONTINUED
Now the Motion for a New Trial Is
Set for October 21st.

The Macon Telegraph states that
the motion for a new trial in the
c. NJ. Orr case has, after brief
hearing, been continued until Octo-
Der Dist.
Delays in the Orr case make it IN
likely that the verdict of the Bibb
county jury will be passed upon by
the higher court of the state before
next spring. In the event that a new
trial is refused the case will be APP
pealed to the supreme court of the
state, and this legal process will re-
quire at least six months. The at
torneys for Orr are confident that
they will be granted a new trial and
the decision of the lower court set
aside

graph, that the indictments against

Will Continue Through This Week
and Close Sunday With a Sermon
and Address by Bishop Gambler.
Dawson has been honored by many
distinguished visitors, but never, per-
hans in her history has any occa-
sion been made SO notable by the
personnel of those in attendance as
the chautauqua now in progress at
the Methodist church, which has
brought to our city some of the most
prominent educators of the south.
The pastor, Rev. o. B. Chester,
in arranging the programme planned
wisely, and the large audiences in
attendance have attested the deep
appreciation of our people for the
things really worth while.
The speakers have come with no
vague and impractiCable theories to
puzzle and bewilder, but in the clear
light of we'll established gospel
truths they have earnestly brought
their hearers to a consideration of
the vital problems which the church
of God must settle if they are ever
settled right, Running through the
discussions Of the different subjects
has been the wholesome doctrine
that while the gospel is to fit men
for the kingdom of God hereafter it
is also to furnish them for a better
type of citizenship in the govern
ments OF this world" Each address
has been a bugle call to higher living,
along the line of "cOnsecrated com
mon sense.
The keynote of the splendid open
ing service by DR.. Rufus w. Smith,
president Of LaGrange Female Col
!ege, was the powerful influence of
the home life on all the affairs of
the nation, and upon christian wO-
manhood he laid the tremendous re
sponsibility of holding America in
her place as queen of the nations by
keeping the home life true to the
highest ideals.
On Thursday evening DR.. J. w.
Malone, president of Andrew Female
College, made a strong address on
UNCONVENTIONAL Schools" as the
only possible means for the best de-
relopment of the mental, moral and
physical nature, and quoted Bishop
Hendrix as high authority for the
statement that NO church in any
and is stronger than its institutions
Of learning.
Hon. Dupont Guerry, who was on
the programme for Friday evening
was compelled to cancel his engage
ment but sent a worthy representa-
tive in the person of Prof. Chas
Jenkins, one of the faculty of IVES

Weight Of q Horse

Many people, even among those who
frequently make use of horses have
little idea what an ordinary horse
weighs and would have much difficulty
to guess whether given animal stand
ing before their eyes weighed 500 or
1900 pounds. Yet they would have
no such difficulty with a man and prob
ably be able to guess, especially if they
were good Yankees, within ten or TWEEN
ty pounds of his weight. The govern
ments of Europe have long been pur-
chasing and weighing horses for the
military service and transferring them
from carriage or draft employment to
the various branches Of cavalry and
artillery. The animals are ordinarily
assigned according to weight. The
French military authorities find that
an ordinary light carriage or riding
horse, such as in the United States
would be called good little buggy
horse" weighs from 300 to 400 kilo-
grams-say from 800 to 900 pounds.
Such horses as these are assigned to the
light cavalry corps. The next grade
above, which in civil life passes as a
coupe horse or carriage horse of
medium weight, ranges in weight up to
48O Kilograms, about 1850 pounds.
This horse goes to help mount the
cavalry of the line.
Next come the fashionable coach
horses" of persons of luxury, which
weigh from 800 to $50 Kilograms, or
from 1000 to nearly 1900 pounds.
These horses go to serve the purpose of
drill for the cavalry belonging to the
reserve military forces Above these
there are still two grades of heavy
horses. The first are those used for
ordinary draft purposes and are
commonly found drawing the onni-
buses of Paris where such vehicles are
still in use. These weigh from 1, 100 to
4, 500 pounds. The heaviest horses are
the Clydesdales and Percherons, which
are oxen in size and strength and which
weigh from 900 to 800 and sometimes
even up to 900 Kilograms is, from
1,300 up to nearly 1000 pounds. None
of these Percherons of the heaviest
weight are used in the military service,
but some of the lighter ones are en-
ployed for draft and artillery purposes.
