AMERICAS. GA„ FEB. 1. 1901.
It is not unlikely that Mr, Pettigrew
will present a bill to the Court of
Claims for overtime.
A recent report made to congress on
the navy of the United States shows
that the government now lias a total of
2.51 vessels.
Edward the Seventh will have plenty
to do to keep his empire up to n staud-
ard where it can compote with Ameri

this county:
“The magnificent opportunity which
Colquitt county has held for capital so
long in matter of superb climate and
sol! for sugar manufacturing has at last
secured recognition •
Mr. W.l’.Blasnigatue has been work
ing along this line for some time and
this week cousumated a dea! which
means much for Colquitt in tho detel-
ipment of her resources, lie sold sev-,
ral thousand acres of timber and land ,
in the southern part of the county to,
some boston capitalist and steps will
Ire taken at once looking to the dc\el-
opment of name.
Two saw mills will be put to work on
the timber and as fast ns it is sawed the
■round will be cleared and prepared
for planting of sugar cane. A house
will be put on every 23 acres and leased
with a contract fur the furnishing of a ^ //
stipulated amount of cane every year.
A large sugar and sy rup manufactory
will be built iu the center of tho land , \
and a branch railroad built out to same. (:
The purchasing parties are capitalists J ^
with unlimited means and one of the
parties is connected with tho largest j \
sugar manufacturing plaut in United
States.
The entire deal was cash considera
tion, and it is probable that a largo
amount of money wilj be spent in the
near future iu the development of the
property.
Mr. blaeiugame has one fourth inter
est in the entire property, besides a
handsome salary. Thus the* initial
steps have been taken and it will not
be long before Colquitt will have the
largest sugar manufactory in South
Georgia, aud this is sure to lead to
other similar interprises.

scribes in detail how, after an after
issue of stamps had been made for the
Cuban service, the surcharged stamps
were destroyed. For the purpose of con
ducting the destruction, Director Gen
eral Rathboue appointed a commission,
ho savs, composed of himself (Neely),
AudSor Reeves of tho registry division
and Marfield. au Ohioan. It has been
alleged that Neely stole many thousand
collars worth of stamps by burning in
their place packages of waste pa]wr. In
refereuco to this charge, Neclv says
about these stamps:
• •The man who says they were not de
stroyed, or who says that I sain the
packages contained only brown paper,
tells a damnable lie. Save for one or
two packages, they were in their ongi-
nal form, the seal of the department un
broken, and if tbev contained only-
brown paper tho fraud was committed
in Washington before the stamps were
shipped to Cuba.”

Owners of many large plantations
iu the South ate having a great deal
of trouble iu getting hands to run their
places this year. Iu many such cases
the farmer diminishes the acreage for
cultivation anu rents out a part of Ins
lands to small farmers. It is generally
an easy matter to secure negro ten
ants even when wage hands cannot be
gotten. Aiten all, this is not a bad
plan. We have too many big farms
anyway. If all the large plantations in
Georgia should be divided up into
small farms it wound bring increased
population and better crops. Small
farms are generally worked better and
are more productive than large ones.—
