when directed toward the failure of the
spring poetry crop!
Because of the extraordinary dill

of state, to whose hands the public land
records have been committed, it is pos
sible in Georgia, as it is not possible in
many states, to make a complete alb

land grant down to the present time.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
states capitol has been moved four or
five times, the records still are COM

The Judge has found that his private

quitting the bench
The lawyers of his circuit generally
are greatly pleased ut his decision not

not incline at all to have a contest for

fifteen minutes as 1t formed away

stairs window. 1t was half-past
o'clock in the evening, at the close Of
a lovely, warm Easter day. The great,
black balloon-shaped cloud started to-

four blocks wide. ! closed all the
windows and watched it until it came
within three blocks of the house. The

of the tornado, so closed all the up
stairs doors and went to the cellar. 1t

everything became black. 1t was the
closing of the upstairs doors that saved
our house from being demolished Had
they been open the storm would have
ripped right through the house, as it
did in nearly every other house in the
neighborhood.
1--WE came up out of the cellar but
everything was dark and the wind
still terrific. The streets were filled
with women and children who were
screaming and running about like ma
MACS. Many of them came to our
house as it seemed to them to be the
safest one on the street. Fires quick

one here and one there, until finally a
score of lurid blazes lit up the awful
scene of waste and destruction. May

sight again. The fire was rushing to-
ward us and the air soon became filled
with burning embers. The smoke was
thick and sitting and the cries of the
frightened people added terror. to il

strive to keep down the cost OF gov

the aggregate of the revenue for the
next two years.
This will mean great deal of Ssh

mitted that a number of projects,
which have been strongly urged, will
be left behind.
But what these projects are which
are destined to be thrown aside, the
committee does not make known.

Rice. ct will be. hars to say, as a
