NEW WAY TO GET A HOME.
A Popular Plan Recently Put in OPP
Grafton.

A Popular Plan Recently Put in OPP
Grafton.
The latest of the many ways for people
to obtain homes on the installment plan
is that adopted by a large and well-known
contracting firm of this city.
The home-seek purchaser a lot on
which he pays $50 or 800 down, and the re-
mainder of the amount necessary to pay
for the lot and build the house is borrow
ed by the contracting firm from one of the
building and loan companies and paid for
on the usual plan of a certain sum per
month for certain number of months as
may be agreed upon, but usually 40
months or ten years, the interest and
1-20th of the principal being
paid every month. The profit to the con-
tracing firm is what is made in building
the house, and that of the loan company
the usual interest charged on loans. A
very good four-room house, with Kitchen
and bath room, and piped for gas, can be
secured on this plan for ST. 200, payable in
installments or rent of about $500 per
month, which pays in full for the house
and lot in ten years.
The scheme is something new in building
houses on the monthly installment plan
and seems to bid fair to make house rent
ing thing of the past with thrifty people
OF course, larger and more elaborate
houses cost more, but a surprisingly large
two-story house, fitted with all modern
conveniences, can be built and paid for in
this way and not cost over 81, 500 to 81, 500

REV. SIMS DISCHARGED.
Evidence Failed TO show He Used the
Mails With Fraudulent Intent.


Felix r. Sims, the colored preacher and
politician who has been undergoing pre-
hminary hearing before United States
Commissioner J. +. Lewis, on the charge
Of using the mails in furtherance of a
scheme to defraud, was discharged from
custody yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
Sims, who is member of the First con-
gressional district republican committee,
had had some Correspondence with several
fourth-class postmasters in Liberty coun-
~ in which he agreed TO secure certain in
dorsements for them to insure their reten-
ton in office provided they would pay him
so much money, usually from SIS to $25.
10 nave made out case against Sims, it
would have been necessary 10 show that
he had opened a correspondence with the
parues IN question, and in addition to that
had endeavored to contract with them for
a service which he could not perform.
Ihese things. however were not proven
by the evidence
Sims did write letters Offering his SER
vices in securing Endorsements for these
postmasters, and it seems it was made to
appear that only through such indorse-
ments could they be retained in office. In
no case, however was it shown that he
began the correspondence, and in no case
where a contract was actually made was
it shown that he failed to do the service
he agreed to do
Whether he had the right or authority to
collect subscriptions for securing such in
dorsements was not considered in the case,
the only question before the commissioner
being whether or not the mails were used
with fraudulent intent. 1t did not appear
from the evidence that such use had been
made of the postoffice department, and he
was discharged.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS, ANNUAL REPoRr
Several Changes Made by superin-
tendent AshmOre.

Several Changes Made by superin-
tendent AshmOre.
The thirty-second annual report of the
public schools of the city and county has
been issued in the usual pamphlet form by
Supt. Ashmore.
This report differs from those that have
preceded it of late years, in having an
addition of the course of study pursued
in the schools. This course Of study and
assignment of work consumes about four
teen pages of the pamphlet, and not only
contains the names of the text books to
be used and the limitations set out for
each grade for every term, but also sug-
gestions and directions for the teachers
The course of study as mapped out by the
report designates the progress that should
be made in the grades up to certain peri
DDS of the term.
The report does not give the names of
all the graduates of the High school, Only
those of the class last graduated are given
Many of the school reports throughout the
country give the names of all the alumni
of the course. but there are reasons that
render this system inconvenient and un
desirable. 1t is said that, in addition to
the consideration of the names taking so
much of the valuable space of the re-
ports, a serious objection is found in the
reluctance many of the ladies of the city
would feel in having such a record cur
rent of their ages. From an inspection of
the report, if it contained the full list of
all graduates, it would be easy to find
when a lady was graduated and to ap-
proximate her age

TO LOOK INTO THE DIARIES.
PrOf. Wing Regards MIX Inspection
a Necessary Requirements.

The diaries around Savannah are TO be
inspected tomorrow by Prof. H. ]. Wing
IN charge of the state experimental sta
tson at Griffin. The main object of Prof
Wings visit Is to ascertain the sanitary
condition OF the dairies, the health of the
cattle and other facts necessary to form a
correct idea OF the condition and progress
o. the industry in this section of the
SKATE.
In Georgia the Holstein and Jersey
breeds abound mostly" Prof Wing said
the Jersey predominating, however. The
cattle throughout the state are hardy and
find 10 be free from disease for the most
part tuberculosis as the existence Of
,ubercles in the internal organs, especial
~ the lungs, does not prevail to a very
great extent among southern cattle.
raisers much trouble in the
northern states, though, because
OF the stock being closely pent up in the
winter season. Sunshine is the death en-
envy to most all diseases with cattle and
this is the reason for such healthy hardy
stock In the south and west. This con-
sumptive disease is contracted and not in
herited as was proven in Denmark by ex-
pertinent some years ago. A herd of dis
eased cattle was kept to itself and of
large number of calves, only one was found
to inherit germs"
Prof. Wing says the dairying industry
is one of the most important in the state.
There has been percepuble expansion of
late and it is his notion that many far
mers will make 1t a specially next year.
Speaking of milk inspectors, Prof. Wing
thinks they are the most needed of all mu-
nlcipal officials. Germs of disease often
creep into milk, he says, when the dealer
himself is necessarily unaware of the fact.
and has no means of informing himself
Large quantities of milk are consumed
daily in all cities and to keep a close watch
over the milk marketed and its quality, is
a matter which, he thinks, should receive
serious attention from authorities.
