Official Paper of the Ordinary
of Spalding county and the City
it Griftin.
Our C*>«ta Rico correspondence says
that many prominent people express
the opinion that if war between Nic
aragua and Costa Rica is started in
good earnest, other Central Americar,
republics may take hides, possibly
getting them eventually under one
head. Is this to bs another trust'
forming scheme, iike that of the fight*
ing gas companies in New York?
It is announced in New York that
a chemist has discovered how it. is pos
*ibl« to produce a forty six candie
power light with a consumption of
one foot of illuminating gas per hour.
The ordinary gas burner of the. pres
ent time reqtiins six feet per hour,
and the Welsbach light requires about
half (foil quantity 11 can b- under
stood, therefore, that if the claim of
this new discoverer is well based it
means a great deal for both consumers
and gas companies If one id the
companii s involved in the big gas
war in Nov \ ork should secure the
exclusive right of the new invention,
the com pet in g com panics would have
to go out of the illuminating business.
“Sport,” a shepherd dog, belonging
to Mrs. R. C. Hnntinging of Atlanta,
disappeared from the home of his mis
tress ab rut tl.e middle of last Janna
ry. About a week ago he was drawn
out of an old dry well, which is under
the house of a nearlry neighbor.
“Sport” was in ns good, if not better
health, when he left his underground
home than when he quit th- residence
of his mistri rs The dog bad been in
the well just three and a half month*
when he was extricated from hi* dis
mal In me, and the moment that Ins
feet struck the ground he sprang
away from Iris liberators and dashed

Mr. Russel) Sage dors not agree
with Mr Andrew Carnegie’s philoso
phy of wealth. Mr riage lives not be
lieve that “to die rich is to die dis
graced.” He is the owner of a Dumber
of millions of dollars, variously tsti
mated from ten to one hundred, but
be is not going to quit w, rk and de
vote himself to distributing his money.
Mr Sage thinks he is performing a
noble public, service by holding < n to
his fortune. ‘Men who possess these
big interests,” said Mr. Sage the o her
day, “are inspirations to men to
struggle (or wealth They are monu
ments to point at. You can say to
the ambitious man, ‘Look at Russell
Sage; see what he did.’ and the ambi
tious man will say to himself, ‘why
can’t I do likewise?' ” That is one
way in which the bold n niilliomrire
is a benefit to the country. Here is
another of them, as explained by Mr.
Sage: “It is a mistake for men pne«
seseing great properties to go out of
business. They should hold on to '
their interests as a protection to the i
public.” So, it will be seen, Mr Sage
regirds himetlf as being quite a* much
a philanthropist in his peculiar way
as Mr. Carnegie is in hi* way. Mr.
Sage permits the struggling man to
look upon him a* a great man and a
model to be copied, and that is worth
•omething. And li en he holds tight '
to hie millions as a protection to the
public, for, if be were to turn them i
loose the public which got hold of a
part of them might over eat, and that |
would be bad.

4 decree was handed down Tueiday j
morning by Judge Newman in the
United States Court in Atlanta in the j
famous case of llell against McKee,
wherein the heirs of the former and
the heirs of the latter have been unable
to agree over the title to 117,(XX) acres
of Lind in various sections of the state.
A consent decree was the result ol the
litigation which basbeen going through
various routes in the United States
Court for about eight months. The
decree divides the property in half,
allowing the beira of Bell and McKee
to share equally in the partition of the
property, The value of it is not known,
but it is supposedly worth $1 per acre.
Years ago Henry Bell and Joseph Mc-
Kee entered into a partnership to buy
and sell and trade generally in 'and in
Georgia and other states of the South,
The partnership dates back to a score
of years before the civil war. The
tracts of land were then too wild to
encourage any one to claim them.
Some of the property i.Ltaincd by the
partnership was by direct grant from
the state The suit was over some
land they held jointly.

The Greatest Ever Known.
THE —:
MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE CO.
OF NEW YORK.
Breaks The Dividend Record.
It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa
ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the particulars
of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in
stance eclipsed all previous dividend results:
Mr. Batiks was insured for $5 000.00
The dividends amounted to 12,028.00
ar !
Paid to the estate $17,028.00
How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and
he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi
dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these |
for Ins benefit. Here are the particulars:
Policy No. 1,233. Issued March 5, 1545. Amount $5,000.
Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Plan.
Original insurance in 1K45, $5,000.
Dividend additions paid in 189*, 12,028.00
Amount of death claim sl7,(H‘-’,OO
54 Premiums paid by insured 8,640.00
Realized to estate over premiums paid $8 388 00
Being nearly equal to a returnofall the premiums paid with two ami a 1, ;lt (2|i per
cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from $5,000
at age 40, to $17,028 at. age ‘J4.
The dividend additions paid to the estate ■were 139 per cent, of all the premiums
paid for the insurance.
Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings
Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety-four. He appreciated the I
rower of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result of
iis method of investment —a result that has never been equalled by apolicy
lolder in any other company in the world.

LAHD POOR.
A Scheme to Give Every Man a
Farm, by a Person Who is
Land Poor.
Mr. Editor Some years ago I took an
idea that land was the safest investment
that a man could make in Georgia, and as
a consequence, I am now land poor; have
more than I can profitably make use of,
and consequently want to get rid of some,
or all of it, and I have decided to adopt
the following measure to get rid of it:
I will say,in the first place, that the
land is the best in Monroe county, is fine
ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat
tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best tor
cotton, com, wheat, oats and other grains
in the county. There are a number of
tenant houses on the place, and a home
recently built that cost me over $3,000 to
build. The land, in the first place, cost
me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying
altogether, about $lO per acre, without
improvements; and to get rid of it, I will
average the whole place at $lO per acre,
in the following way : I will have the
entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into
50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more
than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and
less than 50 to another, according to his
ability to pay for it, as the case may be,
the entire quantity to be drawn for.
In other words, the number of lots and
quantity of land to be put in a hat or box,
and drawn out under approval of a com
mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time,
so that all shall have a fair chance to get a
home at a low price, and no one has a
chance of losing their m mey, or failing to
get their value, as paid, ami some get a
farm at far less than cost
The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city
oT some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is
adapted to market gardening, and for
| northern people who know how to work,
it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of
energetic citizens.
It is all together, and would make a fine
settlement, having the best of pastures,
water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is
timbered with hickory, beach, oak and
pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best
place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed
itor of the Call will vouch for what I
say.
I would be glad to have any parties who
mean business, to go over the plantation,
familiarize themselves with the advan
tages, and communicate with me at
Barnesville, before going into the matter,
assuring them that I mean what I say.
I have also a farm of 50 acres near
Barnesville for sale, on good terms.
In addition to the terms offered above, I
have concluded to make the terms of pay
ment in four annual payments without
interest, which is tantamount to putting
the price of the land very low. The
titles to the land have been in the posses
sion ot one or two parties for years, and
have never been questioned and are as
good as gold.
