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 Idaho Mail. 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.

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 ———- < Half Rates to Barnesville- > n Account of Chautauqua, tub Central of J Georgia Railway wifi sell excursion tick- i ets at rate one tare round-trip, July Ist to s *th inclusive, with final limit July 10th * 1899.

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.

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.

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. 8. B. BURR.
