Creelman in the New York Journal
While the army in the field were anx-
iousiy waiting orders during the ad-
vance on Malolos, General Otis spent
hours reading the correspondents dis
patches, striking out the names of
officers mentioned for gallantry,
changing descriptive passages and
erasing all mention of the part played
by the navy 1t is hardly conceiv-
able that Otis would waste hours OF
valuable time on a critical day at
such work, and Creelman's extraord-
mary story would be discredited if
there were not pretty strong corrob-
orative proof.

~OR ways that are dark and

! some farmers in this country
who can give the heather Chinee the
whole pack of cards. 1t is charged
that the Georgia watermelon growers
have been crossing the gourd with the
melon in order to secure a rind that
will better withstand the hard knocks
incident to shipment. The consequence
has been an improvement of the out
side at the expense of the inside, which
is said to have the taste and smell
of sheep" The adulteration of food
has, become an art and now that ma
ture has been called in to supplement
the work of art the consumer might
as well discontinue kicking and con-
tent himself with whatever is set be-
fore him. 1t is too bad, though, that
the luscious watermelon is to be adul-
terated 1t wouldn't be nearly SO re-
grettable if it We're the squash, the
cabbage, the onion or the beet. The
world could even stand a deterioration
of flavor in the potato without feeling
that 1t had sustained an irreparable
loss. But adulterated watermelon!
That's too bad.

Mckinley Upsets Them.

to washington ~Ssnu sso in P Phe na~ ~so of
several of the western states,
| in regard to the enforced service of the
| volunteers in the Philippines, that pro-
test asserted that these soldiers ought
to have been discharged when peace
was concluded with Spain, that they
enlisted for the war with Spain and not
for other wars, that if the government
wanted their help in fighting the Fill
piros, it was the duty of the govern
ment to offer them the option either to
enlist again or to retire, if that was
their preference. This protest in the
name of the volunteers and the COM
ment it evoked were treason, so the
trumpet blowers said. The twisted
theory of the expansonists was that
these men must fight the Philippine
battles, that they were enlisted for a
two-year term and that the protests of
some of the western governors, of some
of the newspapers and of some of the
volunteers themselves were out of
order.
ANo" loiitS w IIlldIl hCfNlIlty. ~
press dispatch of yesterday says that
he recently sent telegram to General
Otis thanking the men in the Philip
pine army who remained in service
after the ratification of the treaty of
peace" The presidents telegram says
that these soldiers campaigned in Lu-
ION when under the terms of their en-
listment they would have been entitled
to their discharge upon the ratifca-
ton of the treaty of peace with Spain"
Mr.. Mckinley says he is going to ask
congress to order medals for the men
but the fact remains that the president
himself does not at all agree with the
expansion boosters who have been in
sis'ting that the administration had
right. under the enlistment, to the ar
duous service these volunteers have
been rendering 1t is well known that
some of them protested and that they
were silenced.
In fact, they also are in order who
rise for information and who want to
know by what authority the president
of the United States is carrying on
full sized war. 1t appears to be civil
war--on the expansion theory, the reb-
els are a part of the republic and are
subjects in rebellion. Congress mas
never acted. The functions of the pres
adent are we'll defined. yet several ques-
tons naturally suggest themselves in
regard to the amount of war "a preS-
dent can wage on his own hook. Mr..
Mason, a federal senator for the great
state of Illinois, remarked on the floor
of the senate that, in his opinion, the
president of the United States, carrying
on a war against the Filipinos, in the
existing status, is liable to impeach-
ment. And Mr.. Mason is a republican.
That style of talk is likely to fill the
country when congress meets. Mean
while, the present purpose is to call
attention to the fact that the president
himself upsets the talk of those who
were insisting that the Philippine vol
unteers were obliged. by the terms of
their enlistment, to serve whether they
wanted to or not.

BIG LAND DEALS.
Maury County Real Estate Brings
Some Handsome Prices.
Mann Dawson Sells His 400 Acre Farm
for S73,6O0-Other Large Trans
fers-PhOsphate Did 1t.

The phosphate boom is still a
booming, and Maury County real
estate is bringing some handsome
prices thereby. During the past
week four large transfers of phos-
plate land have been made, for
prices amounting in the aggregate
to nearly 100000.
The largest transfer was that of
Mann Dawson and wife to the Ten

which was paid in cash, the balance

three tracts of land in the 18th and
18th districts, the first tract contain
ing 203 acres, the second-the home
place-200 acres, and the third 50
acres, making total of 466 acres.
This Is at the rate of nearly $3.50 per
acre. For farming purposes this
land would not have brought one
fourth of that amount, and the price
received is due to the rich deposits
of phosphate that have been found
Oh the place.
Messrs. j. H. Carpenter, e. Strud-
wick and s. Strudwick sold to the
International Phosphate company
two tracts of laud as follows: First
tract, known as the Ridley place, in
the 18th district, containing $50
acres. This is the same tract bought

wick under a decree of the Chancery

trict and containing l2l SO acres.

Ridley by deed of date Nov. |, 1898.
This transfer was made for the con
sideratiOu of SOP 800.

MAURY COUNTY OFFICE RS.
An Excellent Showing Made Under
the Jarvis Law.
Reports So Far Made Show Saving ia
the County of Nearly S6O0-Three
Officers "Pay Out

Under the provisions Of the Jarvis
law, each county officer Is required
to make a report To the Chairman of
the county court at the end of each
month, showing the amount Of fees
collected by him during the month.
IT this amount exceeds the amount
allowed him for salary, the surplus
is turned into the county treasury.
and if the amount of fees collected
falls below salary, he gets his full
wages anyway.
The reports made to Judge LOOney.
Chairman of the Maury County
Court, by the various county Off
cialS for the past four months, show
that altogether about $500 has been
turned into the county treasury,
that amount of fees having been col
lected over and above the salaries.
Three of the county Officers-Sher-
if Hight, County Clerk Thomas and
Register Latta-have SURPRISES as
follows: Sheriff, $58l2O; County
Clerk, $l6l37; Register, $l99 81
making total Of $942.3S. The fees
collected by Circuit Clerk Embry
and Clerk and Master Akin, how
ever, fell snort or their salaries as
| follows: Circuit Clerk, 1921 3S ;
| Clerk and Master, $57 SO; making a
total of $348 76. This taken from the
total surplus Of $942 .3S, leaves IA bal
ance of 1893 81 that has been turned
over to the county. The Trustee
has made no report yet, as he will
have nothing to make a report on
until the expiration of this quarter
This compared with the reports
made by officials of other counties,
is a most excellent showing. In
some counties no officers have paid
out" at all. The surplus in the otfice
of Sheriff ia particularly commend
able, as Sheriff Hight is the only
Sheriff in the State who has created
surplus. The surplus in Register
Latta's Office is proportionately
greater than any other. Judge
Looney estimates that there will be
total saving of $1,000 to the county
by the time the year is rounded out
