COUNTY FARM COMMITTEE
Met Wednesday and Elected Officers
 All Satisfied.

The county farm committee ap pointed by County Judge ". D. Jones to purchase a farm for the county, met Tuesday afternoon at the office of Mr. c. H. Triplett on Main street, when the following of fcers were elected: c, H. Triplett, presidents F. M. Hudson, secretary; I. W. Tucker, treasurer. The cleo tion was unanimous, and most satisfactory one. At thls meeting were submitted five offers of planta- sions aggregating from 400 to 1000 acres, aud ranging in rrice from $3, ,000 to $10,000.
 The committee decideded that in consequence of the fact that great many people, especially those own ing plantations, are imbued with tue idea that crept into some of the oapers uninten tionally, that the out side amount of money to be paid for plantation would be $5,000, has caused them to be rather reti- cent in offering their lands for sale.
 The committee has decided to hold open the time for receiving bids until November 13.
 For the benefit of those who may not understand the appropriation made by the levying board for a county farm, we will say that it is in the hands of the commissioners, and that 1t is left to their discre- tion whether they pay $5,000 or $50, GOO for a plantation. The $5.OOO appropriation is merely an aid or iuducement to those placing bids to show that everything is in good faith
 The commissioners will wait up- on the real estate men and see what they have to offer to induce a purr- chase of them Mr. Triplett, the president of the board, says that they will endeaYor to do the very best thev can in buying land, as well as financially for the county. We wish them success. This will be a good means of doing away with the cruelty that has characterized our convict farm in the past.

FELL INTO A TRAP. TWO BRITISH REGIMENTS FALL INTO THE HANDS
 OF THE BOERS.
BOER RETREAT 4 RUSE.
Pursuing British Surrounded and Captured With Terrible
 Slaughter.

LoND N, Nov. 1-General White, commanding the British forces at Ladysmith. has been outgeneraIed by Gen. Joubert, in consequence Of which the Royal Irish FusiIeers and the Worcestershire regiment, tue flower of Whites army, are prison CTS fn the hands of the Boers. The Boers' retirement Monday was ruse to sraw tbe British into the hirly country, and that it was not more successful Is due probably to accident; otherwise a much higher quota of White army would have been captured. Gen. White takes upon himself all the blame for fall ing into the trap set by the Boers. His early retirement is predicted in London, where there is much gloom over the British reverses. English men turn now to Gen. Butler. who has arrived at Cape Town, but mil tary men say he ean do little with out an army corps, The blow to the British arms is a staggering one. and all indications are that the Boers will speedily follow it up with others
 Itis reported from Barkley West that the Boers are constructing forts around Kimberley for the purpose of shelling the town.
 A special dispatch from Lady : smith says the Boars suffered se- verely during the engagement, some persons estimating that their loss is 900 to 1000 killed and wounded.

 The difference in cost between tong cables f0 deep seas far away, and short cables in shallow seas near manufacturing eenters, is shown by the con pasison of the contract price for the Denmark.Ice land cable, and the estimates of the British Commission for the propos- ed British. Pacific cable. The dis tance from Denmark to Iceland, with laEding on Scotland, is 900 miles and the route lies through shallow northern oceans. The con tract price is 45O, GOO Kroners, $134 or f27, los per miie The estimate for the VancouverE New Zealand ca .ble-a distance of 1886 D. miles with one long stretch of 3, ,561 miles -is g2, 000, 000, 6quaIling e250 or Sl ,220 per mile, The annual main tenance cost of this long cable, eX- elusive of operating expense, is put at $350 000 annually Owing to It's one long stretch of 3 561 miles, this cable cost pev mile nearly ten times as much as the 900 mile lcelaudic cable in two stretches. These are extreme examples, one the cheapest song cable in the world the other the most expensive. Harrington Emerson, in the Engineering Maga- zine for November.

The events of the past year, in the
