suppress the violations of certain
laws of our town, county and State,

The many speeches delivered
in condemnation of the lawless
spirit which pervades our town
and county and in favor of the res¬
olution introduced to aid the offi¬

vict and punish such law-breakers,
were patriotic and sensible, and
were received with great enthu

Such violations of law are a
a menace to civilization, and look
at it from a political stand
point it is directly in opposition to

THE OK EFEN OK EE,
The Governor Advertises tlie
Famous Swamp l'nr Sale.
The Okefenokee swamp will be
to sold to the highest bidder on
January 7.
The bill which passed the late
general assembly provides that
this land be advertised for sixty
days and sold to tlie highest bid¬
der, but no bids shall be received
unless they exceed 12) cetiis per
acre.
Tlie highest bidder gets the con¬
tract and immediately becomes
incorporated under the act author
izing the sale.
So much lias been wririen about
the Okefenokee swamp in the last
few months that it is superfluous
to describe it.
Hop. C. R. Pendleton, who
spent several weeks in the swamp
with an exploring party ten years
ago, says the larger part of it is a
rich black mud, which, when
drained, will equal the rich bo I
tom lands of Mississippi. Tin
mud is from five to tweiny feet
deep.
Tlie state lias been offered t.vcl ve
and one-half cents an acre for
property by Hon. Frank Hall
of Dah’onega and Maishall B
t nnhps, oi 1 lii'auelphia. Ji no
j higher bid is made they get liic
land at 124 cents an acre.
It has been said that Dr. I). G.
Pune, of Savannah, would offer
twenty-five cents-for the land, but
I no such offer has been made.
Similar swamps with less eleva
tion than the Okefenokee have
been drained in Florida and the
I work is still being prosecuted by
the a Disston I'nmno mp.ni.

Similar lands in Florida, after
being drained, have been sold for

“The Suwanoe Canal Company.”
This Rings up .lie interesting fact
that the Suwanee river, made fa
mous by the songs of two or three
generations, is one of the outlets
of this noted swamp. Through
this river it was proposed to con
struct a canal to the gulf of Mex

to the Atlantic ocean. This was

evening.
A short distance from Wilming
ton several members of ihe loc:
Republican Committee boarded
„,e .rain and sought out Mr.
McKinley. After me usual greet
ings had taken place tin spokes- i
ma n of the Co-mA me said:
Ki,dev, we have a Ji.ble sensa
tion arranged for today. When
Mr. Campbell spoke here a few
days ago a promi lent Republican
arose in the midst of his s]ieech
and declared his indention of vo
t' n g for the Democratic canidate
and the whole ricke . It had a I
rather had.effect and ;
on us, vve
made up our mind to offset it.
We could not find a Democrat
who wou’d declare for Foraker, so
we got a Republican who had just
moved in o town, and whose po!
tics is not generally known, and
when you shall have finis! e .
your speech he will announce that
he has been a lifebmg Democrat,
but that he will vote for ForuLer
anil the whole Republican ticket.
That w'dl be a stunner for the
Democrats, won’t it?” It was a
very ludicrous position to place
Mr McKinley in. but he was equal
to the occasion and asked the Re¬
publican Committeeman if he
could tiot si cure two such Hoppers.
The latter said he would try, and
then the Congressman horrified
the Wilming.on-innn by introdu¬
cing him to “my friend, Colonel
Neal, Chairman of the Democratic
State Committee.”
Colonel Seri said he scheme
was an admirable one. but surges.
ted that the Chairman would not
be able to defeat Mr. Campbell it
lie were to obtain ten sucl flop
pers. The Chairman of the Local
Committee was very much relieved
when the train reached Wilming
ton and he was able 1o make bis
escape and tell his colleagues how
Congressman MeKiuly had ruined
their sensation by travelling in
company with the Chairman of
thc Democratic Committee.
