Property May Be Lost.

It is important that each and every
property owner examine his tax re-
ceipts. If owners of property have not
paid their taxes for the year Of 1898,
their property will be sold without
further notice to them.
Heretofore the State has been the
purchaser of delinquent property, as
tax-titles were not in good repute
with private individuals. Now, how
ever, since the courts have upheld the
validity OF such titles, private indi'
viduals have bought and are ready to
buy such titles.
Under the new law, when one buys
from the State notice must be given to
the owner land the beneficiary or
trustee if there be a lien), and be has
four months in which to redeem his
property.
The old law, under which the sales
for 1898 will take place, requires no
notice from the purchaser to the owner
nor to anyone else.

Two young fellows once entered a

were unaccustomed to railway travel
and were constantly on the watch for
some accident. Every few minutes
they would go and raise the window

came around a curve, n of them saw
a fence which he seemed to suppose
crossed the track. Jerking his head

General Wallace Scores the President.


General Lew Wallace, author of Ben
Hur, gave out the following interview
at his home at Charlottesville, Ind,
says the New York Journal:
when the President recommended
free trade with Puerto Rico, that was
William Mckinley speaking from his
heart; when he urged Congressman to
eat their utterances and vote for a duty
on the industries Of the island, going
and coming, that was Mark Hanna,
the great Ohio suspect.
Either the Puerto Ricans are fel
low countrymen, or people in a rela-
tion to us not yet defined. If fellow
c~ountrymen, free trade should govern
in all our dealings with them, and
their institutions should have been
Americanlzed, something impossible
while under military control. II they
are in relations, unknown, and unde-
fined, and poor, and helpless, then
charity. the essence Of Christianity,
should have had the holding oil our
policies.
ut is idle talking about the island
being outside the constitution. Il
Congress the creature Of the constitu-
ton, or the constitution a device Of
Congress ? It is unfortunate that none
of the men who we're invited to see the
President and came away converted
has told us Of a word dropped by the
President in explanation of his own
conversion.
ut is not pleasant to think of the
President exerting himself to control
the action of an independent branch OF
the government. What shall stop him
next from an interference with the
judges OF the Supreme Court.
1T is yet more unpleasant to learn
from their admission, that a request
from the President should be accepted
by Congress as an imperial order, be-
fore which objections founded in
conscience are blown away like smoke
from a gun.
1.-THE Porto Rican affair is bad
enough. still, it is not so bad as the
new treaty for the N~icaraguan Canal.
The difference is between a statue that
can be repealed by the next Congress,
and an international agreement, de-
6ant of alteration OF amendment, ex-
cept by the consent of sovereign
powers.

bill would raise in his party. Before

COLOR OF THE SKIN.
II Really Indicates Nothing Although
Some Buyers of Cows Pay
Attention to 1t.

The color of cows skin is thing
that counts for much in the estima-
ton of many purchasers of dairy
cows. Especially in the case of the
Jersey is it believed that yellow
skin indicates much yellow in the
milk in the way of cream. But when
we get dow, to reality and away
from fancy we are compelled to ac-
knowledge that the yellowness of skin
indicates nothing, and that color of
the skin does not denote high breed
ing. Some of the best Jerseys have
skin that is nearer white than yell
low. There may indeed be connec-
ton between the color of the skin and
the color of the milk, but there is
none between the color of the skin
and the amount of butter fat in the
milk. There is, however, value in
a yellow skin as well as in a yellow
butter, because people have fancy
for the yellow color in both, and are
willing to pay more for a COW that
has yellow skin than for COW
with a white skin. For this reason it
is best to breed in the color where
it can be done without sacrificing
something else.--Farmers' Review.
Savannah courier. (Savannah, Tenn.) 1885-1979, 1900-09-14
Importance OF Cleanliness.

Taints are too often the cause OF
low quality in butter and cheese. If a
creamery or cheese factory have in
it's vicinity open bitches containing
stagnant water, the breezes and the
flies will bring into the product OF
such place enough of the odor of the
stagnant water to greatly deteriorate
the quality of the goods being made
Then, too, perhaps taints are blown
from further distance than we are
won't to believe; our nostrils may not
be acute enough to tell us of all that
come in at the factory windows. Filth
organisms are great consumers of oul
profits, and they must be met at the
frontier and kept out Of the domains
of the cheese maker and the butter
maker.-Farmers Review.
