Tncsdhy ft Times reporter step¬
ped in at Undo Marion Tatum’s for
the purpose of getting a refreshing
drink of water, ahd while basking
in the cool shade of Uncle Marion’s
yard asked for any startling news
ho might have on hand.
“Tes, said he, I have, but it is
not so startling as tho wild man
episode, although future develop¬
ments may prove so.”
“Do you have rofferehco to your
fine corn-field,” queried tho re¬
porter.
No, not tliat, but I have refer¬
ence to a mammoth cave the mouth
of which was cloesd, and I am now
developing my find.”
What do yon expect to turn up?
asked the quill man.
.
“It is just this i You know Fate

mediately communicated tho whole
facts to him, and ho became very
much interested and thereupon told
tfio it was what he had been search
ing for sioco 1859 at which time he
been informed by an old set¬
tler that valuable treasuro had
been buried by tho Indians in a
certain cave in the Jehkifls gulf,
and the moflth o£ tho cave scaled
up with rough stones.’’
“Now, you know why I am so
i Interested lfi rojr ‘find’ nnd Fate
atid I aro working so hard to inves¬
tigate thoroughly this cave. As
yet we have found nothing of im¬
portance savo a few arrow heads,
and a little bit of Indian pottery,
we are hopeful of turning up
the hidden treasure ere' long.”
mu 1 “ en a , keen . whistle , from the ,
back of the field near Mr. Tatum’s
feet, and mounting *** «.»<« his horse ■ta
joined Fate, who had given the sig¬
nal that it Was time for them to re¬
sumo their work, said we would
have to excuse him.
“Can't I go with you t r asked
the reporter, but the sickly smilo
upofi' Uncle Marion's visage por¬
trayed the negative answer before
it had escaped his lips.

Beet Site In The State.

Governor Gordon roturned Tucs
night from tho Balos farm, now the
experiment station of Georgia.
He was accompanied on tho trip
by Chancellor Bdggs and .Professor
Whito, of Athens. .It was bad Hoi an
official inspection. That been
made by tho experiment station
commission. The governor want'*
ed to seo it meroly as a matter of
interest, And to inform himself as
to tho advantages of the farm for
illustrating Georgia soil and Geor¬
gia products—**
The Chancellor went to make a
speech as well as to look over the
farm again. He made a vory in¬
teresting address on education in
Griffin Tuesday night; Governor
introduced tVhen him in a short speech
asked this, morning his
opinion of tho experiment farm.
Governor Gordqn said:
»
“I don’t think there is in Geor¬
gia a place that can compare with
it in dll respects. If tho commis¬
sion hud had at its disposal all the
money it wanted, it could not have
ohosen a bettor site for the station,
It is simply perfect. Thore is a
great variety of soil, illustrKting all
sections, from tho ihoutitains to the
gulf, and it is undulating eobugh
to exemplify all the levels and
we are accustomed to tee in
the State. The hills will require
drainage, and afford opportunity
for tho study of this most import¬
ant feature in Georgia farming.
Then there !% a Just proportion of
woods and cultivated land. 1 think
that the farmers of the State should
be shown by the conduct of this
station that woodlands are valuable
The uhderbrush should be cleared
away, and clover and b’rbhfird and
other grasses that will flourish in
the shado should be sown firidbr the
trees. The low land on tne farm
in the grove behind tho House, will
make a most e<c(3llent pasture, and
a model dairy farm.
‘‘Of course the accessibility of
Griffin is well known, In addition
to the general accessibility of Grif
fin it should be noted that the rail
road, running directly in front of
the farm, will admit of a station bo
ing placed right at ihe door.”
“How about money to buy t tr e
Bates place ?”
“Oh, there’s no trouble about
that. The monoy is right and ready.
The onty Question i*s to whom shall
tho deed from Bates be made,
whether to the Sta*o or to the com¬
mission. I shall gdt.-th'eattorney
general’s opinion on this point.
“As to eollego buildings, the Be¬
attie school house and grounds will
vory probably bo ifiven or loaned
to tho State for this purpose.
“This wilLmake the experiment
s<ation complete.”—Atlanta Jour¬
nal.

Why More to Georgia.
Because the climate is perfect.
Because the soil is fbrtile and
prolific:
B'ecauf’o land is abundant and
c tr.
Because a homo can be made with
little labor.
Because the yield is largo and
pricos always remunerative.
Because life is a luxury in a land
where tho sun shines ovory day.
Because therb aro chilnCes for a
poor man which He can neVcr hope
to find in colder ebuhtrios.
Bcckjssb the country is advanc
ing and property values increasing.
Because tho vast and varied re
sources of the country aro yet to
bo developed.
Beckiiso a man can make a liveli
hood hero with loss labor than in
any part of the United States.
Because goed land is becoming
more scarce, and if you don’t catch
on now your last chance Will soon
be gone.
Bocauso tho workers roceivo fair
compensation for their labor.
Bocartse the wealth of its farming
valleys and its grazing lands and
its forests will yet build up a great
and prosperous country.
Because tHero is health and vig¬
or and strength in every breeze.
Because tho settler nood not
spend A lifetimo in felling trees and
digging out stumps.
Because vegetation is sd rapid
that in two years tho homo is sur¬
rounded by a growth of trees and
shrubs, which would requiio five
years to develop in a colder coun¬

^Nepotism.”
The Cleveland Leader roforping
to risod tho.criticisms on Presidont Har*
J'■ .ppointmm •' j* of relatives ti
o!«oe, declared i that u . *. ,t was . moor
reettoeallit nepotism—that the
word nepotism moant tho appoint¬
ment of several relatives. The
New York Evening Post thereupon
made up the following list of the
president’s relatives who havo al¬
ready been gitea federal offices,
and asks : Do six relatives fill the
hill?”
(1) The president’s brother.
(2) The president’s fathor-in'
law.
■ (3) The.fatner
in-law of the pros
idenl’s son.
(4) Tho brother of tho husband
=of the president's daughter.
(5) The husband of the duif^htcr
'of tho president’s brother.
(6) The husband of the nieco of
tho president’s wife.
In this connection we 6of>y the
following, showing how one of the
early president’s regarded it:
“The public will hqycr bo, made
r ;
to believe that tho appointment of
a rolalivO is made oh the ground of
merit alone, uninfluenpod by fami
