Live News From Geotgia's Capital .XtiantH, .ioig 17.— Commissioner of ATru-iihiiro Hudson believes he will havp it.e ,-upport of the (Jeorgia Farmer.:;' I’nion and of all the indi- "idUHl cotton plantors in (Jeorgia in hiF effort to call a meeting of the Associallon of Southern (.'oniniission- e.-s of .Agriculiure to take stej)s to rorreef thfl ermneoiis rej)ort that the lotton crop this year will he one of the largest in yoars. •Mr Htidson savs, he lias traveled throughout Georgia and is convinced that the crop has i»e*‘ii overestimated >fc believes, it is overestimated throughout the entire South, and be lieves that the overe.stimation w-iil hurt the price unless counteracted. It. is for these reasons he is asking that the meeting he called. He has sent letters lo all the commissioners in the Sotith. Senator .John .M Slaton has hern leading a strong fight to prevent the legislature from cutting the addition al $10,000 appropriated this year lo the Georgia School of Technology down to $5,000. taking the stand that the Tech has been splendidly respon sive to all the support given her in thep aat both by the state and from other sourrea. and that it is Georgia’s duty to furnlBh enough money to make the equipment useful. Senator Slaton has argued that the $80,000 fifOJre in the bill aa it came from the house was the narrowest possible margin, and that If Tech didn't get every cent of that Bome of the equip ment would be temporarily useiess. The friends of the school have been doing everythttig they could to impress upon the legislature the ab solute necessity of not cutting the ap propriation. - The new Atlanta theatre, built by Joel Hurt for Klaw & Erlanger, and probably the most sumptuous in the South, will be thrown open to the public September 11, with Q^rge Beban starring In "The Sign of the Rose.’’ .\tlantians are eager for the begin ning of the theatrical season and in dications are that the attractious this year will be unusually fine. The manager of the Atlanta thea tre is Homer George, a well known former Atlantian, who has 'made yrood in Xew Vork and has been >;iven a warm welcome to his old home. A diet of hard-boiled eggs, mash- od potatoes and millet seed is insist ed on by the 100 bright yellow'-and- •ireen parokeets. or little parrots, which have r^^cently been added to the Grant park zoo. Ordinary bird food, just so. is not sufficient for thpm They insist on a more substan tial diet. The little parrots are no larger than big canary birds, but shaped just like the larger pollies that talk and whistle. The usual animated scenes will probpbly occur at th? capitol tonifht, when the hands of the clock w-ill be turned back and the adjourning leg- islriture, p:’rticularl\’ iii the hawse, will abandon themselves to boyish l>ranks ;nul joilification. The state .auditor bill, as passed l\v .loe liill Hall’s substitute, not only au’horizos the atiditor to >ook over all star? recorcis, but to pass upon nil warrants are issued and keep in cIo,'!*' ;ouch with the actual live fi- ii.Tnoos of the .-^tate. In r‘‘'!'’.t>ing a new trial to Sam nre’>''. ronvictcd \\\ Chatooga county of killins: l.ove Dean, the supreme couit says a man has no right to kill a tro:passor unless the trespass amount.to a felony. For instance, it IS a!! riffhi to kill a inirglar. but i' is murder to kill a man in a wa- t'-rnielon patch, tor stealin;; waier- inelon? is only a misdemeanor. If tl'f hunters and naiure-lovers of C-?o;g!a had not ur^red their repro- ’.ic w' came l.iw' bi !, i' is likel.v that it would not lla^e cone ^hrougii this soi-sion. .as: it is. ti'.e measure Avill become a law ns soon as Govern'>r Smith signs it. aud will be put into operarion the first of September so as to be of tise during the hunting reason tiiis fall. Ti^e bill originated in house, wirh Representatives Par se'. Murphy and Lord, and was pass- eil by the senate without amendment. It provides for a state game and fish commissioner at a i^alary of $2,000, to be appointed by the go'^ernor two 2 years. It also provides for county wardens and deputv warden.^ ’o be appointed bv The commissioner. It prohibits the sale of game. It limits the bag of game birds, except doves, to tweny- five per day. Doves are limited to 40. It prohibits the killing of a wild turkey hen or roe deer for five years, and allows only three . gobblers or bucks to be killed per season by an individual hunter. Non residents must pay a fifteen doMar license to hunt in Georgia, and i\=-'deni> mi st pay Si for a county T ' iviand ?•? for a state privilege. O' co’irse, people can liuni on their own lands without license. J. Pope Brown, candidate for gov. ernor will speak tom_orrow at Un dine. on the border between Tattnall and Pulloch counties, and in Vidalia he is in vised to speak Saturday. He will sp''ak rt Arlington August 2oth and C'lmnvn?. Nu2,usr 2t*. Mr. Bro'vn is rhinking of establish ing headqr.arter? in Atlanta, but has not yet announced who w-ill be in charge. By its favorable action on tho pro posed change in the Atlanta charter, the general assembly has not arbi trarily changed this city's form of government, but has simply given the people the right to vote and say whether they want the change or not. The election will take place the latter part of September, and it is be lieved 90 per cent of the voters will favor the new charter. Dr. I..em G. Broiughton has taken formal charge of the new' Baptist Tabernacle. It was turned over to him yesterday by the contractors, cotnpleted at the cost of $200,000, and standing today the most mod- ernly constructed religious edifice in tho South. People will come from all parts of fieorgia and adjoining states to wit ness the dedication services whicii begin early in September. The dedi catory ceremonies will be in charge of Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, the great ixindon preacher, who will cross the ocean to be present. The old story of the fifty little snakes that ran and hid in their mother-snake’s mouth at the ap- luoach of danger has been revived here—with the notable addition that it ib vouched for by a Baptist dea con, Deacon Byce Klzey, of the North Side church. Inasmuch as this story has never been vouched for by a deacon before it is worth mentioning another time. Th» 'snake was a wa ter moccasin, and the deacon says that two farmer boys, Pink Hicks and .\1 Wood, cut it open and found the fifty living young ones inside. fiy resolution of Representative Bower, of Decautr county, the Geor gia legislature will probably memoral- ize the United States congress before adjourning, urging the establishment of the proposed rural parcels post law. Fnited States senatdrs and repre sentatives from Georgia are asked to give the measure their support.

Trust Buiidii FOR SALE Ml. Murdock Hurt In a Runaway Special to The News. Statesville, Anz. 17.—In a runaway accident last evening?. Mr. R. K. Mur dock, one of the best known citizens of the town, suffered severe injuries about the face. Mr. Murdock had got ten into the delivery wagon of Fry & Fry, grocers, to ride down town with the delivery boy. John Moose, who had delivered goods at tlie Murdock home on West End avenue. The iiorse had hardly started when Mr. Murdock opened his umbrella, which frightened the animal and caused it to run away. In his efforts to stop the horse the boy driver pulled it over on the side walk and the wagon struck a fence and became fastened. The horse tried to climb the fence and turned the wagon over, throwing both occupants to the groimd. 1 Sanford Bailey, colored, was arrest-! ed this morning in the northern section of the county by Deputy Sheriff Brown and will be brought to jail tonight to await the outcome of injuries he in flicted on Isaac and Forrens Howard, colored, wiih a pistol Tuesday night.

James AVilson, the secretary of agriculture, ended a recent address in Washington on the autumn crops with a crop story. “A commission agent,’’ he said, "looked carefully at a handful ot wheat that had been brought him by a farmer boy, and then inquired; “ ‘How much more has your master got of this, my lad?’ “ ‘He ain't got no more of it,' said theb oy. ‘It took him all the morn- in’ to pick that out.’ ”—Los Angeles Herald.

The Mutual a “Bird” This child is just back from the great and interesting West, from charming spots where the grass is greener, and v. here beautiful homes and handsomer places of business seem as bountiful as the sand upon the seashore: where Building & Loan flourishes and where assets are figured by the millions; where no tax is imposed by state, county or municipality, upon these God-given institutions, “the poor man’s friend.” But the more I saw of their progressive cities; the more I probed into their fine building and loan systems, the deeper my love for this old ship.
