An exchange gives list of eight
classes of people who do a town no
good:
list. Those who go out of town to
do trading.
2nd. Those who imagine they own
the town.
3rd. The chronic grumblers.
4th. Those who think business can
be done slyly without advertising.
5th. Those who deride public-spir-
tied men.
9Th. Those who oppose every move
ment not originated by themselves.
7th. Those who oppose every public
enterprise that does not benefit
them.
Sth. Those who seek to lnjurc the
credit Of an individual.
The above is truth indeed, and yet
nearly every town has such charac-
ters. OF the eight classes the second
mentioned is the meancst, and in fact
all these traits may be found in the
person who "imag!nes he owns the
town." He is self-conceited, which
leads him to oppose any enterprise
that he, himself, does not lead. He
wants no one else to prosper, as he
can brook no rival. While he has nc
use for friend he cannot ''use" To
advance his own interest, those who
proceed without their sanction and
advice, but choose to think for them
selves, excite their enmity. Such
men not only work great injury to a
town, but sometimes succeed in in
juring individuals, whose only crime
is that Of refusing to be "bossed" OF
dictated to by the man who "imag
ines he owns the town"

MONEY FOR SOMEBODY.


The bureau Of abandoned lands
and property at Washington has in
its charge $l3,0O0,O0 belonging to the
people Of the South.
Over $12, 100000 of this money is the
proceeds of cotton taken from planta-
tions all over the South and sold. In
one case $l75,00 worth Of cotton was
taken from single estate when the
staple was worth 800 a bale. The
owners were union sympathizers and
yet they have never been paid for
their property. After waiting SO
many years it would, Of course, be
very difficult for them to furnish the
requisite proofs. A Washington cor
respondent says:
"In 1863 100000 was received from
government agent for cotton taken
from foreigner, supposed to have
been blockade runner, in one of the
seaport towns of the far South. Sec
retary Chase, when he heard the cir
cumstanccs of the case, said: This
money is only held in trust by the
government, and some day we will be
obliged to account for it, for the
United States really has no right to
keep it, But no demand was made
on the treasury for it, for the owner
probably never knew just where it
it went. When the union army under
General Sherman occupied the South
Atlantic seaboard towns the confed-
crates destroyed all the cotton possi-
BILE before they surrendered, and mil
lions Of dollars worth was burned up
to keep it from falling into federal
hands. The owners did not know
what was burned and what was saved.
The books often captured showed
that John Jones, for. instance, who
was a merchant, had so many hun
d'ed bales marked such a way. The
bales not burned could easily be iden-
titled by The marks on them. In many
instances all the books containing
the owners names were forwarded
with the papers relating to the cap
ture.
Not knowing when the claimants
might make demand on thc treas
, ury for the proceeds of their cotton,
| the money was never used, but re-
mains untouched in fund by itself.
, But 1t has been so long ago and the
testimony necessary to make case
valid being In many instances unat-
tainable by the owners, it is not
probable that any great portion OF
this enormous sum Of money will
ever leave the treasury. The only
large sum that was ever paid back
was in the case of Gazaway B. La.
mar. OF Georgia, then president Of
the Bank of Commerce, of New York.
, Attorney General Williams and Gen.
eral b. f. Butler, both now deceased,
; got back for him $500,OOO for cotton
, taken in the manner described"
1 This money ought to go to it's own
, ers. The late General B. F. Butler
said that il the owners of the cotton
seized and sold by the government
would push their claims and prove
seizure and sale OF their property
they would recover. The result OF
the Lamar case made this plain.
