Who Owns the North Pole?
The question of who owns the North
Pole is settled by Col. W. L. Seruggs,
of Atlanta, former minister to Vene
zuela and a diplomat of note. Writing
to the Axlanta Constitution, Colonet
Seruggs says:
‘““At present nobody owns the North
Pole. It is no part of the possession of
any civilized State, and is therefore
open to colonization, if anybody wants
to settle there!
“‘Ocecupation is not effected by mere
discovery, even though the discoverer
be a citizen or subject of a civilized
State, nor if he be an officer of the State,
without specific authority to take pos
sesgion in the name of the State. Un
der the modern rules of international
law, the utmost chat can be said for
discovery is that if the discoverer comes
home with news that he has found a
district hitherto unknown, other States
would be bound by the comity of na
tions to wait a reasonable time before
sending out expeditions in order to an
nex it.
‘“But while the discovery alone does
not give title, it strengthens title based
on oecupancy, and effective interna- j
tional occupation is made up of two in
separable elements, namely, annexation
and settlement. |
“‘By the formal act of annexation, the
annexing State notifies its intention of
henceforth regarding the annexed ter-}
ritory as part of its domain. The formal
act of annexation is usually made in
modern times by hoisting the national
flag and reading a proclamation setting
forth the intention of the government
to take the territory in question as its
own, but any ceremony of clear import
done on the spot in a public manner, is
sufficient.
‘“‘But this must be an act notof a
private citizen, nor yet of an official,
unless he is specially authorized so to
act in the premises. It must be an un
doubted act of the central government
on behalf of the nation.
““Of course, if the proper authorities
send out an official specially charged
with the duty of making a particular
acquisition, the act of annexation per
formed by him is in the highest degree
a State act and therefore valid. |
*“As yet this has not been done by the
United States with reference to the
newly discovered North Polar region,
and since it does not appear that Dr.
Cook held such a commission, his dis
covery, in itself, conveys no title to the
government.”’

A Ducal Melon Lover. l
The Duke of Sutherland, at a
dinner in New York, praised ar
dently the icy and delicious water
melon, says an exchange.
‘[ better understand now,”’ he
said, ‘‘a story ti:at I heard on the
VOyage over, |
““This story was told me by an
interesting southerner. He said a
colored preacher in his town cried
vehemently one August Sunday in
the course of his sermon:
“‘+ Breddern an’sistern, ah warns
yo' against de heinous sin o’ shoot
in’ craps! Ah charges yo’ against
de brack rascality o’ liftin’ pul
lets! Butabove all else, breddern
an’ eistern, ah demonishes ya' at
)dishyer season against de crime o’
melon stealin®?’
e tCh_!
““A brother in a back seat made
an odd sound with his lips, rose
and snapped his fingers. Then he
sat down again with an abashed
look.
- “*Whuffo, mah frien’,’ said the
preacher, sternly, ‘does yo' r’ar up
a2’ enap yo' fingahs when ah

“*Yo' jes’ reminds me, pahson,-

{From the Cordele Rambler.]
A good index of the times is the
real estate market. In dull sea
sons, real estate is usually the
first thing that feels thedepression.
The reason of this is that real
estate i most usually boughs with
the surplus money which people
have in prosperous timee.

Booths’s
Balm on

We netice the formation of a
’ number of land companies all over
the country, which spesks well for
the situation. These real estate
eompanies buying large tracts of
land and sub-dividing them into
small farms for home-owners, are
the forerunners of progress and
development; these upset the old
landmarks of ultra-conservatism,
‘building cities and planting vine
yards.
A tenant who 1s renting forty
acres of land from some big land
owner can easily pay for twenty
acres of land at the rate of a small
payment down and monthly in
stallments for the balance, which
come about like rent. The twenty
acres will yield him about as much
as the forty rented acres because,
owning it, he will devote more
time to its improvement and build
ing np.
We would be glad to see Cordele
men buy a large tract ot farm
lands and divide it up into small
farms for sale to thirty men; it
would meau more to our city than
more brick stores.
