iilliciai Paper of the Ordinary
ot Spaiani county and the City
11 Griffin.
A committee of distinguished Cu»
bans ate in Washington to protest
against the order of the War Depart
ment suspending all legal proceedings
no debts contracted before last Decern
bar, in Cuba, and to endeavor to get
the order revoked, or at least modified.
They say that the order is paralyzing
the bosini es of the planters, by making
it impossible for them to borrow rnon»
ey without pitying exorbitant inter*
eat, bu' their chance for success is not
cncctiraging, as tbe order in question
r as one of Alger's pet schemes.
Everybody and every thing combines
except the newspapers. Thsy are
poorer than anybody, but still con*
tinue to cut each others throats. They
could make money just as well as not
if they were not so foolishly jealous of
eaoh other and so thoroughly imbued
with the idea lha' only one paper has
any right to bo on earth and trial one,
of course, is their own. A newsj rij er
man always thinks it he could
only get the other fellow out of
the way he would have a snap, but
the other fellow will not get out of the
way ami bad he just an well make up
his mind and let him stay —Southern

Inventors of automobiles to bo used
in Paris will have to study with great
care the regulations issued by the
minister ®l public works, which
enumeralra all sorts of rsquirementH
that the vehicles must fulfil. They
must be e i constructed as not to allow
any matter to escape which might
cause explosions or cause any un
pleasant smell. They must also be
made so as not to frighten horses. The
handles regulating the machinery
must be »o airanged that (Im driver 1
can work them without taking his eye
off the route lie is following. The i
carriage must ba so built that nothing
will obstruct his view ahead, and the
various gauges, etc., must be so placed
that tb<“y s:e lit up after dark. Every ,
vehicle must l>e pr v;Td with two

The New Orleans Picayune has thia I
to say respecting Mr Havemeyer’s *
ant i—protective tariff statement before ,
the industrial commission : “If the
tariff were taken ot! of foreign sugar,
it would be admitted free, ansi the
American planters could not make
sugar in competition with foreign free <
sugar Then Mr. Havemeyer’e sugar '
trust would have control of themarket
and be able to dictate prices. But J
the government must have its revenue
from sugar, which would be derived
ftom an internal and direct tax, which
would have to tie added to the price of
the sugar, so that the people would
have to pay it. The sugar trust al- ,
ready makes a big profit, but it wants
to gel Louisiana sugar planters out of ,
the way. The object of the sugar trust, I
as it was virtually declared by its pres I
ident, is to kill off the competition of
the Louisiana sugar planters. The (
sugar trust exerts immense influence t
with the Republican administration, 1
ami with another term under the con- .
trol of Hanna it is much to be feared <
that the Louisiana planters will get ’
another disastrous blow at the hands t
of the federal abminisiration,'* t

A Great Tomb
The tomb of Esther and Morjlscai,
the famous characters in the Old Test
ament book ot Esther, has been diss
covered in Hamedan, Persia. The
inscription on the sarcophage and the
tomb itself, which have been decipher
ed and translated, prove its identity
In view of the fact that some writers
have tried to discredit the Biblical
story, in whose commemoration the
festival of Purim is still annually cel- |
ebrated by the Hebrews, this discovery
is important.
The Juedische Tageblatt, in a de
scription of the tomb, states that it is
GO feet high and evidently has receiv
ed additions at various periods. The
entrance, which is to the left of the
center, leads to an outer passage, that
contains on one side the memorial of
some ancient sage, and an the other
that of a physician, with a stand bear
ing lamps in front it.
A wa 1 separates the sacred part
from the outer sections, at whose
western end a door leads to the prin
cipal sepulchre. To the right is Mor
decai’s tomb, and to the left Esther’s
A corridor between the graves forms a
passage for the pilgrims to ths shrine
A scroll of the Mosaic law was found
preserved in a niche and an ostrich
egg suspended from the dome, the
latter being the custom in all Persian
tombs.
Ills Life Was Saved.
Mr.,). E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of
Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful de
liverance from a frightful death. In tell
ing of it he says : “I was taken with ty
phoid fever, that ran into pneumonia. My
lungs became hardened. 1 was so weak I
couldn’t even sit up in bed. Nothing help
ed me, I expected to soon die of Consump
tion, when I heard of Dr. King’s New
Discovery. One bottle gave great relief.
I continued to use it, and now am well
and strong. I can’t say too much in its
praise.” This marvellous medicine is the
surest and quickest cure in the world tor

sizes 50 cents and SI.OO. Trial botttes free

The Evening Call Office,
LAND POOR.
A Scheme to Give Every Man a
Farm, by a Person Who is
Land Poor.
Ma. 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, 1 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
tlie 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, corn, 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 in iney, or failing to
get their value, as paid, and some get a
farm at far less than cost.
The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city
of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is
adapted to market gardening, and for
’ northern people who know how to work,
i 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.
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.
I am not particularly wedded to this
plan of getting rid of my lands, but only
suggest, the idea—any better plan would
be thankfully substituted.
