A VALUABLE FIND.
DR.. Nichols Discovers Some Old
Stamps Which May Prove of Great
Valua

DR.. Nichols Discovers Some Old
Stamps Which May Prove of Great
Value.
Every now and then some old chest or
trunk, which has remained closed for
years, discloses some valuable relic that
brings the discoverer a small fortune.
Such finds are not numerous, and they
are always interesting.
The mostrecent discovery Of this kind in
Savannah was made by DR.. f. H. Nichols
a few days ago while looking through an
old chest, in which were stored relics of
a former generation Of his family. The
find in question was a collection of about
500 valuable stamps, which were col
lected by his brother. Frank b. Nichols,
between 1865 and 1870, about thirty years
ago.
Among the stamps are several rare va
rieties which command high prices. The
stamps are all old varieties, as they were
collected just few years after the use Of
stamps became general
The stamp collecting fad began about
1861, when school boys and others here
and there began 10 collect them. Now
there is a society founded to promote the
work of collecting stamps. it is the
1000 members All this may serve to give
some idea of why it is that Cancelled
postage stamps, and especially scarce va
rietes have value The most famous col
lection in the world is that of PHILIPPE de
Perari, of Paris, valued at 100000.
Among the rare varieties in the collec-
tion found by Dr. Nichols is one of the
first stamps issued by the English gov
eminent. 1t is the black one penny va
riety OF 1910, which is valued at nearly
$50. He has also some very old issues of
Prussia, Bremen, Holland, Switzerland
and New Brunswick. Some very rare
varieties of United States stamps are
found in the collection. Among them are
the 25-cent varieties, with Franklin's
head, of the 1S47 issue, the entire set of
the issue of lS6l-1s66, and some very rare
United States envelope stamps.
Among the most valuable stamps to be
found in the collection are those of the
confederate states. The two local stamps
of Charleston and New Orleans are very
rare, and bring good prices. Another
curious stamp is the 20-cent green, that
was cut in two pieces diagonally, each of
which was used for a l0-cent stamp. The
l0-cent blue and rose of 1864 are
also rare varieties. Several United States
local stamp used before the earliest issues
will command large prices. Among them
are the Pony Press stamps of the Wells
Fargo Company, Boyd's Penny Post and
others equally rare.
He has two Hawaiian stamps of the
1852-issue belonging to set of four,
which collectors value as high as 81 500.
The two will probably bring a good sum.
The one and four penny triangular
Cape of Good Hope stamps, some of the
lS60-issue of British Guiana, and one of
the Suez canal are among other rare
varieties. The book has been stored
away about thirty years and was
accidentally discovered by DR. Nichols
day or two ago. Several other interest
ing relics were discovered at the same
time. He has not yet obtained a catalogue
or price list, but believes that he has
collection, which though a small one, will
prove of great value

THE MURDERERs CAUGHT.
All of Jackson's Slayers Believed tt
Be Under Arrest.

All of Jaokson's slayers Believed to
Be Under Arrest.
The MoRNINa News had an account
several days ago of the arrest of two ne
groes at Oliver on suspicion of being con-
nected with the murder of Mr.. John A
Jackson, of that place about three weeks
ago. One Of the negroes was found with
Mr.. Jacksons pistol in his possession,
which he claimed TO have bought from
another negro, who was also arrested.
Word has been received in the city from
q resident of Oliver that it is now felt
certain that the guilty parties, or all but
one, are under arrest 1t will be remem-
bered that 1t was at first thought that the
murder was committed by tramps who
were in the vicinity at the time, but this
theory was not substantiated and was
abandoned.
Tho information received in Savannah,
said that 1t is now certain that the muir
der was committed by parties residing in
and near Oliver. The murderers, it is
said, were three negroes and white
man. The three negroes are now under
arrest, but the white man has left for
parts unknown. The arrest of the negroes
has been kept quiet in the hope of appre-
hending the white man, who
is believed to have been the
chief actor in the terrible tragedy. No
clue to his whereabouts has been dis
covered, however, and there is little hope
of his apprehension. The information
was from very reliable citizen of Oliver.
1t is stated that lynching bee was not
at all unlikely, as the citizens of Oliver
still have a very vivid remembrance of
the brutal murder of Mr.. Jackson.
