Bunker Makes Charges

Frank F. Bunker, superintendent OF
schools, in his report made the follow
ing comment on the conduct conditions
that have grown UP in the student body
Of the public school.
Facts have been presented to me
which show that during the past two
years at least, there has been grow
ing tendency among students toward
the breaking down Of the simple fun
damentals of honesty and right con-
duct"
Bunker said that bicycle tires had
been maliciously punctured: the pupils
had cut their classes and in many cases
the laboratory notes and carefully
written papers of the diligent pupils
had been stolen by those unwilling to
perform their class duties. Lying to
teachers to secure privileges that would
be denied if the truth were known, and
the forgery of parents names, were de-
clared by the superintendent to be
prevalent evils.

More Gangs at Work

Stone, when questioned, vigorously
affirmed to the directors that other
gangs Of thieves are at work in the
school constantly. The number of
thefts reported in two years at the
school is 240. SO far only a few of
these have been fastened upon the
youths exposed. but the police investi-
cation. it is thought. will bring other
revelations TO light in a day or two.
One Of the chief reasons for the in
vestigations was the many complaints

Senator J. p. Sanford OF Ukiah,

DOG TAX COMES NEXT YEAR
New Law Will Go Into Effect JAN
nary list. Tax Collectors Must
Have Pound Officer.

Next year the people of Terrell
county who own dogs will be taxed
the amount of 81 per head by the
state of Georgia, and pains will be
taken by County Tax Collector Bow
man to collect from each owner.
The dog tax is a new one, and was
passed at the last session of the state
legislature. No persons dog is ex-
cepted, and every one who owns a
canine will have to turn the sum of
one American beauty spot over to
the state.
The law in the case says that if
the tax is not paid and the necessary
tag procured the tax collector shall
issue an execution against the owner
of the dog, and that animal will then
be taken up by an impounding officer.
After the dog has been taken up it
will be placed on sale by the collec-
tor, and unless enough money is
brought to pay the tax and the costs
in the case the animal will have to
die an unnatural death by execution.
DR.. Bowman has not yet selected
his impounding officer, but will prob
ably do so before the new law be-
comes effective on January list.
There are several thousand dogs in
Terrell county, and if the sum of a
dollar is collected from the owners
the state will be able to collect more
money than ever next year.

TUSCAN RED TO FAST GIVE WAY TO OLIVE GREEN
Work of Changing Color of Central Railroad Cars Be
Pushed. Will Turn Out Twenty Each Month

The work of changing the passen-
ger rolling stock of the Central rail-
way from a tuscan red, the shade it
kss worn for so many years, to an
olive green, the color of all similar
stock of the Illinois Central Railway,
will be pushed forward with great
G&pidity from this time forward.
Orders have been given at the Gem
sral's shops to change every piece of
passenger equipment to the new
sSIOr.
Two Experimental Cars.
So far only two cars have had
their color changed They are used
sn the Seminole limited, the tourist
train that runs from Chicago to
FLORIDA points. They were painted
green so they would haromnize with
she other cars of the train, and after
1hey had been changed the effect was
so pleasing that it was determined
to alter the color of all the passen-
ger rolling stock.
1t will require about a year to
airing about this transformation. All
rhe work will be done in the Savan-
nah paint shops, where the best
PAINTERS in the employ of the system
are engaged in making the changes
now. There are in round numbers
$40 cars to be changed. 1t is eX-
pected they will be turned out at the
rate of 20 cars per month As a
usual thing the shops can turn out
"a repainted cars monthly but it is
believed it will take little more
time to get the color changed COM
pletely and get the cars ready for
running. 1t is estimated that it will
require at least twelve months to
make the change complete This
means bringing in the passenger
equipment from the small branch
roads and the out of the way places
to the Savannah shops to receive
the new tint. The private car of
General Manager Noise is now I'M
dergoing the transformation 9th
ers of that class viii rapidly follow
Long Sought Change.
The Central Railway has been
wanting to break away from tuscan
red as color for its equipment for
some time, but no adequate excuse
for making the change presented it
self until the time to place some
Central cars on the Seminole Limit
ed Then it was suggested that all
the cars have their colors changed
and the suggestion mnet instant APP
prevail from everybody concerned
OF course the lettering on the cars
will not be altered In some in
stances this will not be even repaint-
ed, but the work of changing the
color of the cars themselves will be
so skillfully done that the letters will
be painted around.

FEAR Big COTTON ACREAGE
PRESENT HIGH PRICE PROVE
TOO POTENT ARGUMENT.
Increased Demand For Labor v
Makes Cost of Farm Work
Higher Ensuing Year.

/ ALBANY, Ga.-The sales os1Gr=
tilizers and such other evidene as
is available at this time leads D the
fear, which many observant mn in
this section are expressing, that
there will be a considerable increase
| in the cotton acreage to be plnted
next year.
Those who are in touch wit the
commercial fertilizer market Ssert
that contracts for the coming year
are on considerably larger scale
than were being made at the cor
responding period of 1908, ami in
spite of the fact that food Gops
throughout lower Georgia have )een
largely increased during the last few
years, there is good ground for the
fear that cotton, and not corn, bats,
peas and cane, will be given trac-
tically all the increase of acreage
under cultivation during the coming
season.
1t was the hope of those who
have at heart the best Interests of
the whole sectiong that 1910 WOULD
see a continued expansion of God
crop planting. South Georgia has
made during the year now closing
by far the largest and most valuable
corn crop in the history of the sec
ton, and the same is true of the
oat crop. And while it is not rOb-
able that there will be an actual de-
crease of the food crop acreag. in
1910 the proportion will be lover
than during the year now closing on
account of the increased cotton acre
age. The present price of cotton
proves more persuasive than all nan
ner of contrary argument showered
upon the farmers.
The increase of acreage which
seems now to be inevitable will call
for additional labor, and farmeis of
large and small areas are making
their arrangements as rapidly as pos
sible to secure extra help. This is
not proving easy, owing to the in
creasing demand for laborers in
manufacturing and industrial plants,
and it is predicted that the price of
farm labor will be higher during the
coming crop year than it has been
since the day labor wage. scale in
this section reached 1.-The crest of
the wave" in 1907. Labor contracts
are being signed up unusually early.
