GEORGIA STILL
SEEKS REFUND
OF COTTON TAX

ATLANTA, June 27.-Another eff
fort is to be made to secure from
the United States treasury Il refund
of the illegal cotton taxes paid by
Georgia planters in the period nmed-
lately following the War Between the
States. A solution vas introduced
yesterday in the senate au;ncr!z'n ng
the governor to employ special coun-
sci to conduct the proceedings look
ing toward the recovery Of tnis laoney
which amounts to several mlllt2ps Of
dollars and which has been held by
the supreme court of tie trIted
States to be illegally held in the fed
eral treasury.
Almost every year some effort has
been made to get action on this mat
ter and legislatures have discussed
the proposition from all angles. 1t
is the intention Of the present as
sembly, however, to get the matter
into something like definite shape and
the resolution authorizing the en-
ployment of special counsel is be
lieved to be a step in the right dlrec-
ton. Hitherto there has been much
difficulty in ascertaining the correct
apportionment of these cotton taxes,
but the advocates of the latest plan
declare that this problem is being
worked out.
Equal suffrage for the state of
Georgia, separate and distinct from
the national constitutional suffrage
amendment, is to be one of the burn
ing issues Of the present session. Bills
have been introduced in both the
house and senate providing for amenll
ment of the state constitution so as
to cut out the word male in the
qualifications Of voters. The sup
porters of these bills insist that the
suffrage question is one to be settled
by the state for itself and that it is
better to handle the matter in a way
that would work out to the best inter
est of the commonwealth than to rely
on the national amendment.
Incidentally, the advocates of wo-
man suffrage have admitted that the
of the Susan B. Anthony
at this session is impos-
sible and have announced that no eff
fort will be made to bring the ratifca-
ton amendment up for consideration.
They declare that a year from now
many states will have ratified the
and their action will
strengthen sentiment throughout the
country.

at is a waste of time and money
to start the use of poison IN fight
ing the boil weevil unless you carry
it out properly until August, sever
al hundred farmers who had gath
cred to wattI Yhe calcium s2nEa
demonstration on Neill Rays farm
this morning were told by Frank c.
Ward of the state college of agrl-
culture, who handled the demonstra-
ton. "But if you will begin it, and
follow instructions to the letter we
are sure you will get paying results" "
And a large number of farmers ar
ranged before they left the scene to
begin experiments on thlr own
farms.
. The men were nearly all leading
farmers of their communities, many
of them owning and operating great
plantations. Many were from adjoln-
ing counties, and some of them had
come many miles. Two men were
present from Telfair county, having
travelled almost 80 miles to see the
demonstration.
Mr. Warde is employed exclusively
in the weevil experiments this season
and this is one of twelve demonstra-
tions that he is conducting in various
parts of the state. One acre was ia
ken off in Mr. Rays field Friday by
County Agent Marshall and TIM
morning the farmers who were gath
cred saw Mr.. Warde apply the pow
dered poison with a one mar dust
blower on this acre tract, which rs
just now at the proper stage to be-
gin the applications. He will visit
the field four or five n IRE times
this season at the proper intervals
or have the work done if weather
conditions demand appliauofs during
his absence-for continuing the work
as outlined, so that comparison may
be made at the end of the seasoh an
the actual results obtained.
According to Mr.. Ward, who m; de
a talk to the farmers after the pei
son had been applied, the calcium
arsenate should be applied in the ear
ly morning, late evening, or at night
when there is dampness on the cot
ton plant, which holds the poison
It is when the weevil comes out at
night to drink, and gets this poisc
that the method is effective.
Mr. Ward advised the farmers tC
take a. small part of their acreage
for experimenting this. yea& ,H2
showed the expense of the method
in a rough way, stating that from
four to six applications should be
made in one season, requiring up t'
pounds of powder per acre for
each application, at price per pound
of from 80 cents to 40 cents, depend
ing upon quantity and conditions OF
purchase. Cost of labor and appartus
are additional expenses. He shove
however, that experiments which werr
conducted in previous seasons have
shown the method to be a paying
proposition when used on productive
soil and when good judgment in ham
ding the arsenate was used. He stat
ed that county agents in tfc various
counties have the details of the ex-
periments, which information is
available to any farmer desiring it.

NOTED SPR|NIER
PASSES BEYOND

Word was received in Fairbanks
of the death of Arthur Hyde, of
Hyde's ranch, on the Cinema slough,
between Cinema and Fairbanks.
Death took place at Colfax, Cali
fornia, on February IS.
Arthur Hyde was one of the first
to take up a homestead in the Fair
banks district, clearing off quite a
tract of land and selling the wood
to the steamboats, and the railway.
During the Marathon craze, Mr..
Hyde, who is winner of many
long distance cross-country races
in England, was instrumental in
staging the Alaska Marathon race,
held at the old baseball grounds at
Fairbanks on July 4, 1909, in which
jerry Sullivan, the Nome sprinter,
took the purse, with Hyde second
best, in field of twenty-six com
petitors.
On the Labor Day following, Hyde
beat Sullivan's time on the same
track. He defended the cup against
several competitors, retaining the
title of long distance champion of
Alaska.
Of the old marathon runners of
the Interior, George Tree, Tommy
Thompson, Wallace Cathcart, and
the old veteran George Taylor still
remain with US.

from stomach trouble for the past

NATIVE CAPTURES
POLAR BEAR CUBS

A recent arrival in Nenana from
the Nome country brings word of
the capture of couple of polar
bear cubs near Solomon, by native.
The native, who was out hunting
near Solomon, drove his sled right
over a pair of polar bear cubs who
were almost buried in the snow.
The little fellows, who are said to
be about a month old, made an
awful fuss at being disturbed, and
the native promptly proceeded to
annext them.
He had hardly got them into his
sled when the mother bear appeared
and of course, seeing her offspring
IN the natives sled, charged right
up to it. The native managed to
shoot the bear.
He loaded the carcass of the dead
she bear onto the sled and came into
Nome. The big bear is said to have
tipped the scales at 800 pounds.
Billy Webb, the butcher of Nome,
bought the cubs from the native. He
Is said to have paid s25 for the
pair of them.
Solomon is fairly large sized
town about 35 miles distant in a
southerly direction, along the coast,
from Nome.

NOME DISTRICT
PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR BIG SEASON

According to Joseph Bellevieu,
who arrived in Nenana recently from
the Nome district, enroute to the
States via the Broad Pass trail, the
gold output Of that district will be
much larger than that of last year.
The output of the district, he said
was considerably lessened by reason
of strike of the miners. The men
struck for Sc and board per day,
with eight hours as work day. The
employers were not willing to grant
it and, consequently most of the big
outfits shut down.
Trouble OF this nature is not an
tlcipated next season, and Mr.. Belle
vieu believes that there will be
more men in the Nome district this
year than ever before, and that the
mining game will boom.
A new strike, he said, was made
on the benches of the Snake river
about Is miles from Nome during
the latter part of the season; and
although it is generally believed that
the strike is a good one the real
extent of it was not known at II Q
time he left for the States.
Pay was found from the grass
roots, bedrock being reached at a
depth of from two and ona-nalf
to three feet.
Three men shoveling in are re-
ported to have cleaned up S35. 900
In about three weeks time. and the
only reason they had to discontinue
operations was because they did not
have sufficient water to continue,
Mr.. Bellevieu and three others
form the outfit known as the Hast
ings Creek Dredging Co.. They
have a d:edger on Tasting creek
and will operate another this season
on Dry creek. Dry creek flows
through the town of Nome, and the
scene of the dredging operations
OF the Hastings Greek Dredging Co.
will be within the city limits of
Nome this year.
Mil operations in the Nome
district, he says, were considerably
curtailed by the early fall. The
absence of snow after cold weather
had set in has had the effect of
freezing the ground to greater
depth than usual. An early spring.
he says, might offset the i'll effects
of the early frost.
Mr.. Bellevieu says that a Ian 70
addition to the population of the
Nome district is assured, and he
unhesitatingly said that, in his opin-
ion, the gold output of the district
for the coming year will be more
than double that of last season.

TRACK CAMP IS
MOVED FORWARD
TO NEW SIDING

The end of steel on the main line
south of town is now at the northern
approach to bridge No. As, at sta
ton No. 1870.
Bridge No. as has been COM
pleted insofar as the driving of
the piles is concerned only. The
bridge crew is now working on it,
and it is expected that the structure
will be completed and ready for the
rails in a short time
The men Of the steel gang, after
they had laid steel up to the bridge
and pending the completion of the
structure, went back on the line
about two miles, where a permanent
sidin gwas put in. The work CT
putting in this siding was taken in
hand and completed yesterday, and
to day the camp cars of the track
camp, which had hitherto been sta
toned at Mile 374, will be moved
on to the new siding at mile 500.
1t is expected that Bridge As will
be sufficiently finished to permit of
the rails being laid over it, and the
steel gang will be able to resume
the extension of the road without
any delay. This bridge is 468 feet
in length and is the longest between
the Crossing and the end of steel
at Ignite. There are a few small
bridges beyond Bridge As and the
Burns coal mine.
The intervening distance between
the point where the steel gang will
resume operations tomorrow to the
Burns coal mine, is approximately
two miles. 1t is expected that this
distance will be covered by April l .
After putting in the spur track
to the Burns coal mine and extend
ing the main line for approximately
1000 feet beyond, permanent sid
ing will be put in, and with the COM
pletion of this siding, railroad ex-
tension south of town will cease.
for the time being at least.
All of the force on the main line,
with the exception of the section
gangs and those in the maintenance
Of way service, will be Withdrawn
and transferred 20 the Nenana-Fair-
banks branch line for an indefinite
period, probably until through rail
connection has been tablshed
The steel gang, as soon as they
have reached the coal fields, will
be brought to Nenana and will lay
the temporary track along the water
front for the accommodation of the
gravel trains, which will bring ma
terial for the back fill on the water
front When this work has been
completed they will be sent across
the river to help complete the road
