five weeks ago It was understood
that he was a bachelor. It now ap
pears that he was a married man ; that
he bad been married for fifteen years,
having married Miss Anna Wright,
who had been a boyhood sweetheart,
in 1884. The marriage was never
made public because Mr. Havemeyer’s
family wished him either to marry a
rich woman or remain a bachelor. It
seems that while Mr. Havemeyer pro
vided liberally for bis wife during his
lifetime, he made no provision for her
after his death. She is now suing for
her dower rights in bis great estate.

Colored Enumerator*
Some time ago we expressed the
opinion that the President would make
& mistake if he appointed colored men
as census supervisors in the South.
There are of course colored men who
are qualified to do this work, but it is
certain they will appoint colored enu
merators, whose duty it will be to call
at the homes of the people and get the
information required for the census.
In a majority of instances this infor
mation will have to be furnished by
the women of the household, because
the men will be away al their places
of buiness when the enumerators call.
It will not be pleasant for women,
in many cases, in all probability, to
answer questions which enumerators
will be authorized to ask. Owing to
recent troubles in some parts of the
South white women in some instances
may refuse to see the enumerators. Il
would not be surprising if that should
be lhe case in out-j’-ivay places in
the rural districts.
We do not predict trouble from
these appointments, but if there should
be, the President would be, in some
measure, to blame for it. He knows
the conditions which exist in the
South. In the trial of the Lake City,
S. C., case recently Judge Brawley
said that lhe administration was large
ly responsible for lhe crime of which
lhe accused were charged, because it
had appointed a strange negro post
master at Lake City against the pro
test of lhe people.
If the President desires to appoint
some of the colored men of the South
supervisors and enumerators of the
census why doesn't be appoint them
to districts in the East and West?'
From the same districts of the West
and East white men could be appoint
ed lor districts in the South. In that
way lhe President could favor colored
Republicans in the South without
inking the risk of causing unpleas
! antm-ss between the races We do
I n< ’ make ibis suggestion with any
other purpose than to prevent an op
j portiinity Im ii.uil. e between the
I races.
There is not likely to be any trouble
in the towns and cities, but it cannot
be said thnt negro enumerators will
find their work p i-asant in all parts
of the country districts lhe entire
situation bus been placed before the
President, however, and also the chief
of the census bureau
If they persist in sending colored
enumerators into the homes of white
, people the) mu-t. b ar ibeir part of
, the respons’Lility if the enumerator*
, should not be entirely eucci's-fii 1 in

i MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE CO.
, OF NEW YORK.
Breaks The Dividend Record.
It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the corapa
s 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. Banks was insured for.|s.o(M) 00
. The dividends amounted to.. 12,028.00
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-lour years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi
dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these
for his benefit. Here are the particulars:
Policy No. 1,233. Issued March 5, 1845. Amount $5,000.
Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Pl in.
Original insurance in
Dividend additions paid in 151ff112,028.00
Amount of death claimsl7,o2B,oo
■ 54 Premiums paid by insured 8,640.00
Realized to estate over premiums paid $8.388 00
’ Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (2J) per
cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from $5,060
at age 40, to $17,028 at age 04.
The dividend additions paid to the estate were 13!) 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
power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result of
his method of investment—a result that has never been equalled by a policy
holder in any other company in the world.

LAND POOR.
A Scheme to Give Every Man . a
Farm, by a Person Who is
Land Poor.
Mu. 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 for
cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains
in the county. There are a number of
tenant houses on the place, ami 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 p«y 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,
aud 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 nicy, or failing to
get their value, as paid, and some get a
farm at far less than cost
The land is 12 miles fr- in Macon, a city
of some 50,000 or 60,001> people, and is
adapted to market gardening, and for
northern people who know how to w'ork,
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 1
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 of one or two parties for years, and
have never, been questioned and are as
good as gold.
