win the second time ihc city hud fixed Ohio,
a license tax of $50 for the Western
Union Telegraph Compuny only to
be bluffed into compromising on $25.
When the matter was under con-
sideration last year we recollect that
Alderman Whitehead opposed ac
cepting the compromise und staled
that Savannah made the same com
pany pay a license tax of $500
And now we find in the Suvannuh
News the following which goes not
only to show that Alderman White-
head was right, but explains how the
City of Savannah manages to make
the telegraph company pay:
“Telegraph companies will here
after be required to pay a tax of $20
per annum on each pole used by them
in the city limits. This is because
of the refusal of the Postal-Cable
Company to pay the special tax of
$500 per annum required by the city
of all telegraph companies.
“The tux has been $3 per pole, but
the companies haye heretofore elected
to pay the special tax. Tbo West
ern Union Telegraph Company has
paid the special tax for the year, and
consequently cannot be required to
pay the pole tax. The city could
not compel the Postal-Cable Com
pany to pay the speciul tax because
it is a company doing an inter-state
business.
‘Alderroar. Davis, who introduced
the ordinance, explained that the
telegruph companies had been paying
a special tax of $500 or $600, but
one of the companies doing business
in the city had declined to pay the
special tax. As this company only
had thirty or forty poles in the city
its tax would be very small, and this
would operate as an injustice to the
othir company, which had paid the
special tax.
The ordinance was placed on its sec
ond reading an unaniitouly adopted.”

A Warning Sounded To Melon Grower,.
In tha Atlanta Constitution last
week Mr. T. C. Baylese, writing from
Cincinnati, O., warns thb melon grow
ers of Georgia and Florida that they
are about to commit a grave error in
regard to the melon acreage for 1898,
and declares that a canvass of the
territories indicates that not less than
8,000 cars will lie the yield for the
coming season. Mr. Bayiess’s warn
ing is as follows:
Editor Constitution—It may ho of
interest to the many melon* growera
in your part of the country to know
the coming melon crop will be the
largest in years. We have canvass
ed the territories far enough to know
that not less than 8,000 cars will be
raised this year, unless farmers plant
less. We very muoh fear that the
crop will lie to largo that growera
will get little or nothing for the
melons. Onr adtico to them it to
plant npno or very few.
T.C. Baylehs.
Cincinnati, 0, January 14,1898.
Some of the melcn growers of
Dongherty county have requested
the Herald to reproduce the letter of
Mr. Iiayless, and we present it to the
consideration of tboso who are inter
ested for what it ia worth. The
largest crop ever known was 9,000
oar loads; last year’s crop was 3,000
cars, and if Mr. Baylcss’ estmiato
proves to be anywhere near correct
the growers will not be apt to realize
very much from tbeir crops this year.
Some of the growers in this im
mediate section will very largely
increase their acreage over last year
and many who did not plant an acre
in 1897 will go in on an extensivo
scale in 1898. Some growers say
they will reduce their acreage very
materially as compared with last
year, though it ia probable that they
will be very greatly in the minority.

and the Cotton Kelt route, Imre made
a gold strike. The ore does not pan
out quite as well as some found in
the Klondyke and it .ia leas rich in
yield than choice spots of Australia
and California, but it is yellow, glit
tering gold, all the same, and the
only objection urged is that there is
not enough of it to the ton. An ex
pert aw.iy'st, after testing a number
of ipeoimens, forwarded to him by
W. H. Lastingcr and W. W. Los-
tinger, father and aon, well known
citizens of Waco, gave his certificate
that the ores submitted for examina
tion yielded $5 per ton. best, and $1
jier ton the lowest grade. Ore should
yield a great deal more than that
before it will pay to handle it, but
the find ia nevertheless highly im
portant because it is demonstrated
beyond any question that there is
pure, virgin gold existing in rock
strata within the boundaries of Mc
Lennan county.
The strip of country from which
the fragments of rock were selected
is rugged and hilly and is watered by
the small tributaries of the South
Bosque and by the South Bosque
itself which rises somewhere near the
Bell county lino and flows into the
big Bosque a few miles from Waco.
The prospectors who furnished the
fragments of rock to Mr. Lastingcr,
the elder, after ascertaining flint
there was gold in the rock went back
to the Beene and have been washing
the bed of the creek and diligently
searching, hoping to find u good rich
lode of pay dirt somewhere in the
diggins such as would enable them to
stake off claims and go to worn in
.mining in good fashion.
The Denver man who made the
assay for Mr. Lastinger reports silver,
copper,gold and platinum in the rock
which he examined. He sent back
the specimen together with his cer
tificate and they are to be seen in the
possession of Messrs, Lastinger.
The fact that gold was discovered
on the South Bosque recalls the tra
ditions exirting here for many years
of gold finds made by the early set
tlers and of gold brought to the stores
by Indians when Capt Shapley P.
ltoss conducted a “trading house”
somewhere near here and supplied
the red people with sugar, tobacco,
flour and other necessaries. All sorts
of hopes have been awakened, for the
rugged region in which the gold ores
were discovered has a very promising
aspect.
Mr. W. H. Lastinger said to the
Times-Herald reporter:
“I hope, in writing about this mat
ter if a write up goes into print, con
cerning it, that a conservative spirit
will govern the narative so that peo
ple will not get excited and go rush
ing to the new gold fields imagining
that they are going to turn up wealth
with a grubbing hoe most anywbei ’
they dig. As a matter of fact,’

expert by no means yield
