The whirlIgig Of Time.

A Savannah paper, in sort of a
mournful strain, says that great
many of the plantations in different
parts Of the South, which were once
we'll known for their size, the magnif-
icence of the residences upon them,
the hospitality of their owners, or on
account of the prominence OF the
families which possessed them, are
now falling into ruins. The reason of
this is perhaps that the land has been
worked solong without being fertilized
that it has become poor. or it may be
that those into whose possession it
has passed lacked the energy and
skill which are required to make it
pay under the present system of
labor. One of these famous old places
in Liberty county, in this State, was
lately sold to a colored man for $2 800,
only part Of the purchase money be-
ing required at once. 1t is known as
Laurel View, and is within two
miles of the historic town of
Sunbury. It was once the home of
the gifted John Elliott and a very
beautiful home it was. John Elliott
represented Georgia in the United
States Senate in 1920 to 1926. The
plantation contains 2300 acres. 1t
was purchased during the war of Sc
cession by Linton Stevens, and was
sold to the present owner by his heirs.
The district in which the plantation
is situated was noted from the first
settlement of the State until the
emancipation of the slaves for the
wealth and intelligence of its citizens.
1t is now, however, almost wholly
abandoned to the colored people. Its
great plantations have been divided
into small farms, and the superb man.
sions, once the homes of men noted
for wealth and culture and of women
famous for beauty and refinement, are
falling into decay and are being re-
placed by cabins and huts, whose
chimneys of sticks and mud tell more
plainly than words the marvellous
change for the worse which has taken
place in the once rich and prosperous
district ~

MARKING THE CARDS.
How Gamblers Mark Cards So
They Can Read by Touch.

We do it in the same way that the
blind man reads-by the sense of
feeling. But before we can read tn ese
cards they must be put in shape. This
is done with a ring which is worn on
the most convenient finger. On the
inside of the ring-I mean the part
under the fnger-is little steel spur,
not sharp enough to penetrate the
cards and make a hole, which would
te detected, but slight indentation,
resembling q pimple, on the back
of the card, but SO small that
with close observation it would not
be noticed. This we cannot see, but
We can feel it. and the location is the
cipl or to the denomination of the
card. OF course we have to see and
handle the cards before they can be
marked, but as we can handle from
five to ten cards each deal it does not
take long to have all the important
cards punctured.
Reading cards marked in this way
is easy to me. I have one system as
to the location of marks, and it is
just as easy as telling the time by the
of the hands of q clock in
the absence Of the regular dial figures.
Sharp players made their puncture so
slight that they cannot be detected by

Tho Old Dudheem.

Said Main street tobacconist who
thinks he knows what he is talking
about: "Pipe smoking is on the in
crease. Years ago it was not unusual
to meet half dozen men pulling on
brier-roots during walk of as many
blocks, but until recently the custom
has been regarded as vulgar, and Pat
with his dudheen, or a Johnny Bull,
who affects the pipe, were the only
ones who braved popular prejudice
and sauntered home with pipes in
their mouths. During the past
fow months it is surprising
how many pipes have been sold here
and elsewhere. Nearly all the old
stock is gone, and the manu-
facturers, throughout the country
are smiling at the prospect Of
rush for the holidays. The profits
are not meagre, but Of course they are
nothing to those we make on cigars.
The boys begin smoking nowadays at
an early age, and never quit until
death. Cigarettes, or coffin nails as
some persons call them, are bought
by every one. Even young women,
schoolgirls and old women blow q
cloud occasionally. We should all
get rich if there were fewer in the
business. The man who doesn't
smoke something nowadays is a
rarity"

Democratic simplicity.

President Taylor was probably the
only President to whom the presi-
dency was an uncoveted and unsought
for boon. Mrs. Taylor was 80 averse
to public life that it was said she
prayed every night during his candi-
dacy for his defeat, and when told of
his election said: "Why could they
not let us alone? we are 30 happy
here. Why do they want to drag us
to Washington Who that ever
saw Gen. Taylor at levee could
forget him? He grasped every
new conner cordially by the hand
and saluted all, high and low, old
maids, brides, young girls, all with
the words: 'Glad to see you! Glad
to see you! How's your family :?
Hope the children are all we'll" His
greeting was almost equal to Rips
toast: "Here's to you and your fam
lily. May you live long and prospect"
He hardly ever opened his mouth
without making mistake, and peo
pie laughed heartily. Still they loved
him, trusted his judgment, and knew
his heart and hand were true as steel !;
and when he died the whole nation
was mourner at his grave.-[Ben

Last week Tin 10y insisted that his

mode of dress and worship, at least
for their New Year festival. Being
coerced into this barbarity, the young

BEN BUTLER THE TRUTHFUL
A Durky Boy who Got Hfm Mixed
UP with Warrington.

Among other attractive personal
traits your Uncle Ben Butler possess
es a quick sense of humor. There is
a grim and savage twist to it, now and
then, as it flashes out against people
whom he does not agree with, but he
is not above liking joke for its own
sake. Whether he ever fully enjoys
humor of which he is the subject has
been doubted, but we will test him.
1t will be remembered that when the
General was in command at Fortress
Monroe the negroes flocked
thither by hundreds, lured by
the dream of freedom. He had been
quick to classify them as contraband
of war, and alert as we'll as to see that
they must be cared for.
He built school building where
the youth could be taught, and the
Butler school was the small begiEning
of the Hampton Institute of to-day.
The old structure was constantly in
use until quite recently, when it was
replaced with a new structure better
suited to present needs. This was
dedicated not very long ago, and we
quote an episode of the exercise from
the Southern Workman. General
Armstrong was instructing the child
ren, as follows:
General A.-Now 1 want you to tell
me who set you free?
A number Of voices-Abraham
Lincoln.
| General A.-But there was some
one who set you free before Abraham
Lincoln, and you must rem ember him.
It was General Butler. "a pause in

her Americanism in many ways.

SECTIONAL COMPARISONS.
Com parative Table Showing the
Financial Rank and Area of
Counties.

COuMtleSs
1t is interesting to note the COM
parative wealth Of the different coun-
ties of the State. In making these
comparisons the area of the counties
should mot be lost sight of. For in
stance, Sacramento county has an
area Of 968 square miles, and turns
into the State Treasury taxes amount
ing to $16l, ,4S0.01, while Los An
geles, with an area Of five times as
great, viz: 1912 square miles, turns
in only $455, ,815.66. Sacramento
ranks sixth in wealth and Los An
geles second; however, if area was
taken into consideration, these po-
sitions would be reversed. Below is
given table showing rank in wealth,

rious counties to the State Treasurer,
