A hurricanes Doinps


 The rainstorm of Monday afternoon brought relief from the almost intolera- ble heat and humidity that had prevailed for two or three days before and did the ground, springs and streams world of good. It was accompanied with wind storm however, that raised havoc in some localities. The wind was freakish and came in streaks. Branches of trees were snapped off like pipe-stems, and the streets were filtered with dead and alive branches and twigs. While the storm was at it's height veritable hurri- cane confined to narrow path, swept down from the northeast, striking the village on the eastern edge. It was seen approaching, from the lime kilns, mak- ing the trees bend and break as it swept along. It shook the big shade trees on the lawn at the Naples until it seemed as if they must come crashing down into the road. An enormous branch of 8 maple tree almost in front of the house. was snapped off and fell with crash into the street, and at the same time @ similar branch of a big ash tree, few rods to the east was broken off, and the sidewalk and street were completely blockaded by the heavy timber and foli- age, which required strenuous work for their removal. Telephone wires in that locality and elsewhere, were carried down in the wreckage, and it was a busy time for the linemen.

Because of the extraordinary dill
gence of Georgia's various secretaries
of state, to whose hands the public land
records have been committed, it is pos
siblc 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 mas been moved four or
five times. the records still are COM
plete, and in an excellent state of pres
crVation, moreover
1t seems rather strange however
that the various legislatures should be
willing for these priceless documents
and records to go year after year un-
protected of fire or destroying dust and
insects.
1t would not cost Very great deal to
provide dust and fireproof cases for the
records-or, better still, it would not
entail an unheard of expense for Geor-
gia to follow Iowa's recent example and
have duplicate and duly authenticated
copies of the records made, and incase
the ancient records in fire and dust
proof cases, using the copies for the
purpose of tracing and abstracting
titles to their fountaiuhead

Assemblies to Athens to have the
lawmakers see for themselves what
is being done here and what is really
needed.
President Randolph Anderson. Of
the Senate, and Speaker w. H Bur
WELL Of the House, both expressed
themselves as favoring an increase i'm
the appropriations to the States edu-
CatiOnal institutions, especially those
that stand for advanced education,
but this is well nigh impossible I'M
der the present tax situation.
The body was the guest of the Ath-
ems Chamber of Commerce from the
time it boarded the special in Atlanta
until 1t reached the Union depot to-
night. On arriving here at u o'clock
the State Normal School plant was
visited. At Tibbets Park, with sew
eral thousand Athenians, an old
fashioned Georgia barbecue was held.
At 8 o'clock the University and the
State College of Agriculture were Wis
tied and at the special train re-
turned to Atlanta.
