Official Paper of the Ordinary
of Spalding county and Un City
M Griffin.
It's a c*se of the bottom rail getting
on top in Cuba, and that some trouble
will follow this radical change is but
to be expected.
The director of the mint says
that the United States now holds
more gold than has ever been possess
ed by any other nation in the history
of the world. The amoant is $910,-
000,000.
That will be a dramatic and historic
scene at noon next Sunday when
Spain's last yellow flag in North
America is pulled down from Morro
Castle and the stare and stripes run
up
Georgia cotton mills now consume
about 25 per cent, of the total crop of
state. When we have mills enough to
take the entire crop and the farmers
have learned the lesson of living al
home, then indeed will Georgia realize
wbpt genuine prosperity is.
Sparta Ishmaelite: Governor Cand
ler had the courage to recommend the
only course by which state expendi
tures oan be brought within the com
pass of state revenues It is to bo
regretted that the legislature should
not have the courage to carry out his
recommendations. Statesmen are few
and far between in the general assem
bly.
The insurance men are now after
Gov. Candler. Georgia carries about
1800,000 insurance on its property
scattered over the state. The annual
premium on thio amount of insurance
would be about SB,OOO, if it was paid
by the year, but by paying two pre
miums iu advance, the state gets its
properly protected from Are for three
years. Most of the policies will soon
expire. There is, therefore, quite a
contest for the business. The agent’s
commission at 15 per cent, would be
$2,400. It has been suggested to the
Governor that it would be the right
thing to divide the insurance between
the sixty companies doing business in
Georgia. This would give the agents
small conjunesions, S4O a piece, but
some of them prefer to play lor the
whole stake or a large part of it. Gov-
Candler has the matter under consid
eration.
When new Americans arrive in
Paris, says a French lady writer, their
names, American residence and Paris
ian addresses are at once published.
Particulars are easily obtainable at
the banking bouses, where newcom
er's generally report themselves at
once, aud are invaluable to the class
of people who make a specialty of be
ing attentive lor a consideration to
wealthy and socially ambitious strang
ers. Interpreters and guides flock to
the recent arrivals, proffer their ser
vices, and, if engaged, learn every
thing possible concerning their em
ployer's circumstances, home standing
and society aspirations. Where there
is a daughter ambitious to own a title,
a wide field of operations are entered
upon. There are crowds of impover
ished scions of noble families who are
only too willing to barter position for
wealth, and one of these being selected
as eligible, he is obliged to sign a reg
ular contract, specifying exactly how
much of bis prospective wife’s fortune
he will pay to the Paris matchmaker
in the event of his marriage to her
"dear young American friend.”
Sometimes, where there is a dowry,
the amount is paid down, and again it
is paid so much by the month, so that
there are many American girls who,
quite unconsciously, have literally
paid for their husbands on the install-J
ment plan.

“ ly Rich Territory.
If a pin be placed at Denver on the
map, and another at Stockton, Cal.,
and a string be drawn from one to the
other, on air line will be marked pass
ing through the heart of a wonderful
gold territory. Slightly to the north of
Denver in Central City, and southwest
of that city is Cripple Creek. About 80
miles to the north of the string Lead
ville will be found. In the southwest
corner of Coloradoyin appear Tellu
ride, Hico and other? points where gold
is mined. Marysvale, In Utah, almost
due south of Saif Lake City, will ap
pear to the soutbof the string. Fifty
miles to the nod,th of it, near the line
between Utah arid Nevada, will appear
Osceola. DeepJCreok lies north of Osce
ola and—ott -fne southern edge of the
great desert west of Salt lake. Detroit
and several other rich gold camps are
almost due east of Osceola. Pioche lies
100 miles south of ''.the string, aud the
wonderfully rich gold territory of the
Monkey Wrench district lies southwest
of Pioche.
Now, north and south of the string
will appear dotted on the map of Neva
da the gold camps of Grant, Freiburg,
Reveille, Kawioh Valley, San Antonio,
Gold Peak, Hot Springs, Belleville,
Candelara and numerous others. Al
most under the string, in California we
find Bodie, and to the north of it Mar
kleville and other points—kH-orthe
eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada
mountains. On the western slope of the
great sierras the string will be almost
on the Utica mine, which is located be
tween San Andreas and Sonora. North
and south of the Utioa mine are hun
dreds of rich gold mines in profitable
operation.
The distance froin Denver to StocK
ton is about 1,200 miles. On no portion
of the habitable globe is there a region
so continuously and enormously rich in
gold as the territory described, and yet,
notwithstanding this fact, the progress
ive Yankee has scarcely made a start in
opening and developing these riches,
Which have been entombed for millions
of years, and which will remain so
sepulohered until we awaken to an ap
preciation of the fact that the states of
Colorado, Utah, Nevada and California
bear within their bosoms more wealth
than ever was dreamed of by Croesus.—-

DECAPITATION.
Life Said to Remain Long After the
Head la Severed.
“The executions in Paris during re
cent years have revived the old question
whether death instantaneously follows
upon the severance of the head from
the body,’’ says the Massachusetts Med
ical Journal. ‘‘Dr. Cinel asserts that
decapitation dees not immediately affect
the brain. He says that the blood which
flows after decapitation comes from the
large vessels of the neck, and there is
hardly any call upon the circulation of
the cranium. The brain remains intact,
nourishing itself with the blood retained
by the pressure of the air.
“When the blood remaining in the
head at the moment of separation is ex
hausted, there commences a state, not
of death, but of inertia, which lasts up
to the moment when the organ, no
longer fed, ceases to exist. Dr. Cinel
estimatee that the brain finds nourish
ment in the residuary blood for about
an hour after decapitation. The period
of inertia would last for about two
hours, he thinks, and absolute death
would not ensue till after the space of
three hours altogether.
“If, he adds, a bodiless head indicates
by no movement the horrors of its situ
ation, it is because it is physically im
possible that it should do so, all the
nerves—which serve for the transmis
sion of orders from the brain to the trunk
being severed; but there remains the
nerves of hearing, of smell and sight,
and he concludes that the guillotine does
not cause instant death. If this be true,
could any other form of death be more
merciless?”

Aluminium as Paper.
Experiments with aluminium as a
substitute for paper are now under way
in France. It is well known that the
paper used today in the manufacture of
books is not durable.
It is now possible to roll aluminium
into sheets four-thousandths of an inch
in thickness, in which form it weighs
less than paper. By the adoption of
suitable machinery these sheets can be
made even thinner still and can be need
for book and writing paper. The metal
will not oxidize, is practically fire and
water proof, and is indestructible by
Vie jaws of worms.
Bamboo grows very thriftily in Cali
fornia bottom lands, and is found to be
a very useful plant. The seed of many
species resembles rice, and is almost as
valuable for feed. The stock may be
used in the building of bridges, fences
and barns and in the manufacture of
water pipes, furniture and boxes.

MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE GO.
OF NEW YORK.
Breaks The Dividend Record.
1 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

stance eclipsed all previous dividend results:
Mr. Banks was insured for on
' The dividends amounted t0..12,02a. w
: Paid to the estatesl7,o2B.oo
1 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-
1 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.
Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life. Plan.

cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from $5,000

I 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

LAND POOR.
A Scheme to Give Every Man a
Farm, by a Person Who is
Land Poor.
Mb. Editob : 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, ocffn, 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.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,
it offers a fine opportunity for a cclony 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
t 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.
