General words following an enumera-

generality limited by reference to the
preceding particular enumeration and to
be construed as including only all other
articles Of Ike nature and quality. The
general words are confined to things
elusden generis. So constituting the words

ness pure and simple, of the like character

they cannot be extended to include deeds

and junction are so essentially different.
This construction is fortified, if not en-
tlfely settled by the case of Iittleheld &
Bro. VS.. Clary in Goth Ca. 322 where it
was held that mortgage is not such an
evidence of Indebtedness as is contem-
plated by the act of 1876. Code sec g. 95
providing for the summary establishment
OF any lost bond bill, note, draft. check
or other evidences of Indebtedness"
Chief Justice jackson rendering the
opinion says: "A mortgage is a security
Tor DEBT according to our Code and not,
strictly speaking, a mere evidence of in
debtodness. II is a deed, defeasable if
the debt be paid. but stin a deed to Sc

The act under consideration in this case
doubtless does apply TO obligations to
pay attorneys fees upon due-bills, checks,
drafts, bills Of exchange, etc, for these

The distinction between simple contracts
and sealed instruments or specialties

included, but beyond all question we
think obligations to pay attorneys fees

were not intended to be nullihed by this
act, so far as that intention can be gath
cred from the language of the statute.
For the reasons above stated we think
the demurrer in this case is without
merit ana should be overruled, and it is
SO ordered.
In the city court yesterday Judge Mac
Donell overruled a demurrer to the suit
of Joseph Morrel against the receivers of
the Central and Savannah and Western
railroads, and the case Will go to trial
Morrel claimed he was put of a Savannah

some suggestions Bnsed Upon Per
sonaI Experience.

SonnA experience.
Editor OF the Morning News: I have
been requested by a member of the com
mittee appointed by the mayor to write
something Of my experience in raising
capital for a cotton mill here, with the
hope that it might be of some benefit to
the committee in the work of promoting
similar enterprises.
The Southover Company now has its
business in the hands of a party in New
England, who has been the superinten-
dent of two thread mills. but resigned his
position in order that he might be free
to work for us. The contract with this
party has been but recently signed and
the cold weather has prevented anything
from being done. but we have reason to
hope for good results
1t is needless to go over my experience
in detail in the matter of procuring out
side capital for cotton mill here The
task has been a difficult one. and any
man or number OF men who will leave
here to go to New England for that pur-
pose will find that distance has but lent
enehantment to the view" If there is
anything that New Englander knows
above everything else 1t is the
value of a dollar, and though
dollars are quite plentiful with
many of them, they are not going to part
with them without carefully weighing all
the chances of profit ana loss. They want
to know all about the character, quality
and plentifulness of labor, the price of
coal the rates of freight, the character
of the atmosphere. the healthfulness of
the climate, the rates Of taxa
ton, etc, etc, 1t must be re-
membered that very few people in
New England know anything at all about
the south. To the average man of Massa-
chusetts the state of Georgia is long
way off, and going to them to interest
them in a cotton mill in Savannah is like
going to Savannah man to put his
money in some enterprise in Cuba.
There is very little faith to be placed in
the newspaper accounts of cotton mills
moving to the south The editor of the
Textile World of Boston sent me q short
time ago the names of all those people
who have been published as contemplat-
ing movement to the south. 1 wrote to
every one of them, and received but two
replies. one party said they had not vet
fully made up their mind, and the other
replied in a very brief note, saving that
the newspapers had been altogether too
previous in their statements about them"
The truth is there is reason to believe
that all the talk about moving south is
for the purpose of getting more favorable
legislation for the manufacturers of New,
England. They want lower duty On
coal, longer hours of la Dor and a repeal
OF the statute in Massachusetts which
requires mill men 10 pay off their en-
ployes every Saturday night in currency.

iussaries.

A Word About Pastures.

Remember that close grazing is ruin
Gus to any pasture. There is no economy
in it, for what the close grazing does
not destroy the hot sun will finish.
Don't destroy these valuable portions of
your farm by being penny wise and
pound foolish. If you haven't sufficient
pasture for all your stock, sell some of
the stock or feed grain. 1t has been dem
onstrated at the experiment stations that
by feeding grain to COWS while they are
being pastured we not only Z the
pasture land, but in rhe end save money.
A little grain fed to the dairy COWS
every day during pasturing makes the
cream richer and the butter much supe-
rior than if given nothing but grass.
But before the grass is destroyed and
close cropping begins the grain feeding
should begin. Feed a little grain morn
ing and night and restrict tho animals
in their grazing, so that no one part Of the
field can be cropped too close.

or ever the later Sherlock Holmes, into

The Sun printed, under the heading of
''Chess as a Detective, " the following
letter from young man in Manchester,
England, who had selected this ingen-
ious plan, now completely successful,
we rejoice to say, for finding his lost
father:
To the Editor of The Sum:
SIR-Three years ago my father left England,
and II months afterward he sent us a copy Of
The Sun; also a letter from Jersey City, but it
did not contain any address. We have not
heard from him since and are very anxious at
home.
In the paper which he sent ! noticed some
chess problems by composers in England, so
thought If you would insert consecutively the
inclosed problems, which / have composed my.
SELF, they would be likely to attract his atten-
ton with my name being at the top.
The problems are two movers, and by insert
ing them you would confer a great favor.
DANIEL r. BROOKS.
Manchester, March 2, .
Two chess problems of unusual merit
were printed at the same time, in the
hope that they might fall under Mr..
Brooks eye in this country and be the
means of restoring communication be-
tween him and his family. 1t worked
to a charm. Yesterday we received this
second letter from Manchester:
To the Editor of The Sun:
SIR-On the I'd inst. / wrote asking you 10
insert some chess problems in your valuable
paper with the object of attracting the atten-
ton of a long lost father.
Allow me to express to you my gratitude for
your kind assistance and promptness in acced-
ing to my request and for the prominent posi-
ton you accorded to same.
] am pleased to inform you that with your
kind cooperation success has attended my eff
forts, as on the 10th inst. we received from my
father n letter and a copy of The Sun, dated
March II, containing ''Chess as a Detective"
Thanking you for your kindness, l am, dear
sir, yours truly, DANIEL II. BROOKS.
Manchester, March p.
The discovery of the missing father
by means of this clever device shows
that the idea of thus selecting a news
paper as a transatlantic medium for ar
ranging family matters covering the
two h~elnispheres was, to use a chess
phrase, as sound as it was brilliant

Crop Prospects

The present outlook for crops in
Day County is exceptionally fine.
Rain has fallen in sufficient quantity
to keep all vegetation on the bound.
Wheat never looked better and is
very clean and free from foul stuff,
although a few fields have some this
ties, about knee-high and elegant
color.
Oats look fine, too, and promise an
elegant crop.
Flax is somewhat spotted, some OF
the very early-sown having been
caught by frost. Some fields are
about ready to blossom, others are
only just up. Tho crop promises to
be above the average with a large in
crease of acreage.
Corn has felt the cool weather and
lack of sunshine, and is backward,
Cut worms also have had a hand al
it and did a lot of damage.
Potatoes are doing nicely and a
large increase in acreage insures a
big crop-the largest ever raised in
the county.

Large numbers OF stray stock is being
taken up and many are in doubt as to
the way to proceed to comply with the
law. We herewith publish the steps to
be taken in regard thereto:
Within Is days after taking up, notice, con,
tanning description of property, should be pub,
lished by posting notices in three public places
or publishing in any county newspaper three
times. At the expiration of % days, if owner
does not call, the parties taking up stock must
go before some Justice of the peace, making
affidavit as TO particulars, when that officer
will appoint three appraisers to make an eSti
mate Of its value. After appraisers have made
returns to justice OF the peace he will advertise
property for three weeks. If, after a year, nc
owner appears for the estray, same will become
the property of parties taking it up, if not
valued at more than $50, il more than $50, jus
tice will advertise property for sale and all
money over and above costs will be turned into
the county treasury. There is a penalty foi
parties taking up stock and failing to comply
with the statutes.

drowning persons, and, after ten

One of the amusing features of the

standing Oh the hind part of wagon
which was pushed out into the lake,
fishing. An eighteen-pound pickerel
came along and, owing either to the
attractiveness of the bait or the lady,
took hold of the hook and started at
a 2;l0 gait forthe wagon. The lady
screamed and started for shore on a
run. The pickerel became entangled
in the spokes of the wagon and was
pulled out. He was a beauty and
tipped the scales at exactly eighteen
pounds. The lady says, however,
that she prefers to catch smaller fish.
