glacier failed on account of numerous
deep chasms. but the party succeeded
father east.
On December g. after extreme difficulties
on account crevasses and drifted snow,
the party once being nearly lost, they
reached the main glacier between them
and mountains Larsen and Bellingshaus-
en-. Then it was fair travelling TO the in
land plateau, the altitude of which was
more than 1000 feet Strong southerly
winds and fifty degrees of frost, together
with shortened rations made the travelling
arduous. They reached the magnetic
pole, 260 miles northwest of the Drygalski
depot on January is and hoisted the Union
Jack. Marson determined the position OF
the pole as being in the vicinity of lati-
tude 72.25, longitude l54.
In the course of their return and in at
tempting to shoot down the main glacier
the party involved in the ice pressure
ridges and crevasses, necessitating the un-
loading of the sledge and making a carry
by hand. On February they arrived at
the inlet in the glacier near Drygalsk
depot. The provisions were exhausted eX-
cept for a few biscuits, and retreat was
cut off by the breaking up of the sheet
ice. The outlook was serious, but they
were rescued the first day by the Nimrod
returning from Cape Washington. The
duration of the journey was 122 days, and
the distance travelled, including relays,
1850 miles.
Marson triangulated the coast by theo-
dolite from McMurdo sound TO Nerygatski

PAYS TO
STATE s225,OOO
LONG LITIGATION OVER TAXES
CLAIMED ON STOCK OWNED
IN WESTERN RAILWAY OF AL
ALBANIA ADJUSTED AND CLOSED

Payment of $225,OOO was made to the
state Tuesday by the Central of Georgia
railroad, in conformity with compro-
mise effected between the state and the
railway company in the battle that mas
been waging for the last seven years IN
nearly all the courts of the land over
the claim advanced by the state of Geor-
gia for taxes due on 5000 shares of West
ern Railway of Alabama stock owned by
the Central of Georgia.
So is adjusted what had grown to be
almost an endles piece of litigation. Tho
settlement was formally made in Judge
Pendleton's branch of the Fulton county
superior court, all litigation in the United
States court having been dismissed that
It might be reopened in the state court
for purposes of settlement. The parties
to the settlement were Attorney General
John c. Hart. representing the state. and
Colonel A. r. Lawton and 7. M. Cum
ningham, Jr., of Savannah, attorneys Tor
the Central.
OF the amount just paid into the states
Golfers, the city of Savannah will get
$f20, 14034: Chatham county will get $62,-
1880; and the state, $42.0S6.S2.
This amount is less than that which the
state received recently from the Georgia
Railroad and Banking company, as taxes
on 1900 shares of stock owned by that
company. also in the Western Railway
of Alabama. Adjustment in the Georgia
railroad case gave the state $S35,OOO, which
was distributed among the state, the
county of Richmond, and the city of Au-
gusta. Additional legal questions were in
vOlved in the Central's case, however. The
Central claimed that the Central Trust
Company of New York, is owner of the
stock. but that it (the railroaD has no
more than an equitable interest in the
property. Moreover, argued the Central.
If it is taxable for the stock, the situs
for taxation is in New York, where it is
located
Attorney General Hart. to whom much
credit will be given in legal circles for his
successful conduct of the states case.
says that he regards the settlement as
a very good one indeed.
No agreement as to future taxation or
exemption of the stock i'm question was in
cluded in the adjustment of the litiga-
tion, just ended.
If the status of the stock remains un-
changed il is assumed that the state will
continue to claim taxes on it from year
to year; and the Central may pay or con-
test as it sees fit.

REPORT OF THE WORK OF FARMERS
INSTITUTES IN GEORGIA IN 1908

The board OF trustees OF the university
organized a farmers institute system on
January Is 1893. When the board OF
trustees OF the Agricultural college was
created the management Of the farmers
ins .titutes: was transferred TO them For
several years the Institutes were under
the charge Of Hon. Harvie Jordan, who,
however, found the work so onerous and
exacting that he decided TO withdraw
from il on November l. 1907. when the
work was turned over to the direction
OF Andrew NJ. SOule.
Twenty-four institutes were held dur
ing the past year under the SPECIFIC d.
rection OF the college. Institutes were
offered to six senatorial districts where
for various reaFons satisfactory arrange
ments could not be made for a meeting.
From one 10 three speakers were sent to
sixteen other points where either far
mers' Institutes orr educational rallies
were held. II should not be forgotten
that the educational train. a feature OF
the extension department. OF the college
and really constituting one Of the most
important and effective means Of con-
Quoting farmers institutes. visited one
hundred and fifty towns I'm all parts OF the
state. Since the expenses of operating
the educational train was betrayed out
OF a special appropriation, the college
ate in holding some forty special meet
ings In the interest OF farming enter
prises and agricultural education II is
doubtful II the state has ever been more
efficiently covered. or as many people
reached and benefited as during the past
year. Fully $4,000 people came out to
hear the lectures and discussions and
TO see the exhibits carried on the train.
and about 10.O0 persons attended the
regular meetings. That this trip was of
fncalculable value 10 the people OF the
state is borne out by the correspondence
which has come and still comes 10 the
college as a result OF this movement. A
list Of places visited last year follows:
Rabun Gap. COrnelia. Cordele. Green's
bOro Waycross. Washington. Boston,
Americus Adairsville. Rome. Talbot
ton. Perry. Arlington. Lawrenceville.
Lexington. Pelham. Newman. McRae.

ter. Triton and Brunswick
n viii thus be seen that the state has
been practically covered during the
year and all senatorial districts would
have been reached but for the fact that
there is not a good organization in
number OF districts. and II win take lit
tie time to work one up II is a pleas
ure to acknowledge the cordial cO-Opera-
ton and support extended TO the insti-
