PUBLIC LANDS.
Important Decision which Is of In-
Ierest TO Citizens of Florida and
Other Southern States.

WASHINGTON, May 27-The Secretary of
the Interior has rendered decision especi-
ally interesting to settlers upon public lands
In the States OF Arkansas, Louisiana, Miseis-
sippl, Florida and Alabama. The decision
continues In force the accepted practice of
the General Land Officer In relation to the
period within which filing and payment
shall be made In "preemption" cases,
where lands have once been offered at
public sale and afterward temporarily with
drawn, or have been by accident rot sub
ject to ordinary private entry. In such
cases the rule has been to class the lands as
still ''offered for the purposes of pre-
emption, and to require filing within
thirty days, and payment within
twelve months Of settlement" the
law as to ''uuoffered'' lands
allowing three months for fling
and thirty-three for payment. question
having been raised in regard to lands in the
States mentioned not vet "reoffered" under
the act of July, 1875, the present decision
holds that the universal rule and practice
OF the Land Office SO long established shall
govern, and also that by the Intend
ment of the statutes OF limitations short
er period must apply to preemptors on
these lands as though made subject to pri
vste entry under previous offerings, and
that the requirement for a new offering
only affects the right of private entry, and
does not enlarge or restrict the right of
preemption as fixed by the previous law.

COL. COLES PLANS.
A Banquet in His Honor at Atlanta
How His Roads VIII feet Other
Lines-The Capital Confident of HIS
CueceRS.

ATLANTA, GA. May 27.-COl. Cole was
rendered a banquet by the citizens last
night. In his speech of response he allud-
ed to his former failure, but ayowed that he
was sure of success now, although many
difficulties lie IN the way, and additional
legislation will be required. Only one line,
the Rome Road, viii compete with any.oth-
er route now in operation, 1. e. the State
Road. Yet It will increase even tie bust
ness Of that road, In which Col. Cole
is large stockholder.
As to the Central Railroad he says his
lire to Macon will benefit it, though COM
petitor, bF an Increase of business. 1t will
be completed by January.
Atlanta is jubilaut over last nights as
surances from Colonel Cole, and laughs at
any one who doubts the realization OF all
his great plans. Everything in railroad
circles is now so mixed that it is hard to
tell who is who or what is what In the pre-
sent combinations.

Well Done.
Christian ADVOCATE.

This is the expression that escapes
the lips of every well-meaning and
thoughtful person in Macon in reference
to the action of Judge T. ]. Simmons
in the Superior Court on last Saturday
He had before him many of the promi-
nent barkeepers of the city for violating
the law in selling whisky to minors and
selling it on the Sabbath. The grand
jury had pluck to indict the parties,
and the Judge the courage to execute
the law Many a "God bless you,
went up from neglected wives and anx-
ious mothers grateful hearts. There
has been no act of public nature that
has given Onehalf the satisfaction or
fraught with greater good to the people
of Macon than this one act of Judge
Simmons. 1t has brought hope to many
a respondent heart, as protection is
promised to the youths of the communi-
ty in the future. Judge Simmons said
that mothers had written to HIM and
implored him to stand between their
young sons and ruin; that these boys
were being allured away from home by
the brilliantly lighted saloons and fres.
coed billiard halls. and that only blighted
lives and disappointed hopes awaited
them. The Daily Telegraph says:
Judge Simmons remarked: L have
this morning, just now, sentenced man
to the penitentIary for life for the muir
der of fellow human being, and are you
any less guilty than he? Daily you pave
the road of young mans life to ruin,
death and damnation. Through your
instrumentality the walls of mother and
the sobs of sister are heard in desolate
homes. Bright futures are shadowed by
the darkness of your sin. The morals
of the youths of our city are being cor
rupted and their responsibility tainted. >"
Judge Simmons imposed fines to the
amount of some twelve hundred dollars.
Several parties were fined $3.50, some
1925 and $3.50. One party was fined
1856. Judge Simmons is determined,
as far as lies in his power, to check the
selling of whisky to minors and abolish
liquor drinking on Sunday.
To which the whole community says,
"Amen."
