I'f'iupel the payment to tbe state of $.»1,000 for
the sale of public lands due the slate, nod
which the commissioner of public lands haa
rsjxrted as due the state. The auditor's office
rt nesdra the claim to be due, but proposes to
<fi'*i«t it with the alleged indebtedness of
J4 1,308.04 of the state to the United State* un
der the art of jfifli, which haa not been paid.

They Disappear With the Deer and the

From the Camilla, Ga., Clarion
As the old citizen# of south Georgia pass
awsy it is the duty of the Clarion to tay tome-
thing about them. The Indiana have long
ago disappeared. No trace of them is Tound
in this country. The deer have nearly all
been exterminated. With the Indians and
rtcer there were other primitive denizens of
our forest*. Among these none are more fa
mous than the gopher. Ar
civilization advance* they too an

the friends of our youth?"
When we speak ofgophera in southern Geor
gia, Alabama and Florida, we don't mean
What are called gophers between the Rocky
mountains end the Mississippi. The gophers
there aro cur salamanders or ground rats.
Nor do wo mean tbe prairie squirrels which
are called gophera in Illinois. We
mean our sure enough gophers.
These highland loggerhead turtles that
burrow in the ground and come out of their se

Their beck name fa teatudo polyphemus. If
the original old Cyclops Polyphemus was as
ugly as his modern namesake we don't blame
i I vises for putting his eye out. The farmers
of this s*ciioD would not care if the Groek
hero would come back and put out the eywe ol

believe that he ic anrh r suicide. Bath's ways

of the first things ho learned after coming to
this section from virgin in, was not to bot <

and about eleven o'clock ho will come

and I will have him." Tho young Virginian
laughed at the idea. "I'll bet you a dollar a
