Talk of Plan to Rush Him to
 Cuba

New York, Aug. 22.-Now that the attor- neys for Charles w. Medley, formerly Gu ban agent for the postoffice department have filed an appeal to the United States supreme court, and as their client cannot be taken to Cuba pending the appeal, it is learned from Neely's petition for writ of habeas corpus, that his counsel has sworn that he believed the United States government had made arrangements for the placing of the petitioner on board an army transport for immediate transportation to Cuba, as soon as the necessary order for extradition had been signed and the ac- cused will be secured and placed aboard ship. This plan, counsel asserted, was to prevent the petitioners from applying for a writ of habeas corpus.
 United States District Attorney Burnett is absent, but Assistant District Attorney Platt, when asked if the report was true, said that the United States supreme court would convene in October and that the Nicely case was at a standstill until that time. He would neither affirm or deny the reported government plan to rush Neely outside the three mile limit.

Those who have preferably remained in town all summer have been thoroughly contented until these closing days of Au- gust. With the continued hot weather there comes an absolute need to say noth ing of the desire, to go to mountain and shore, and unless there is a change in the present temperature, Birmingham will be even more deserted than it is at present. The early summer marked the departure of so many well known persons, while the midsummer season found the city practi- cally deserted. It is certainly deadly dull in social way, for it is too early for the wanderers to return. If they were in- clined to do so the weather records would have tendency to alter their minds The summer resorts are experiencing the gay est seasons known in years At all of the fashionable places in the South are found the most charming coteries of Southerners, while the beautiful women from the South who are entertaining in their cottages or In their hotels are the fairest representa- tiYes among the throngs of fashionable people form all parts of the country The Virginia and Georgia, Tennessee and Ala bama resorts are crowded to their fullest capacity, and the dances and card parties, ana numerous social functions make the passing weeks notably gay and brilliant The tollettes of the belles and beauties are more elaborate and beautiful tha usual and at the evening affairs the ball room balconies and drawing rooms in the bril- hantly lighted hotels are scenes of inspir- ing beauty.

An illustration OF the present and
prospective value of timber lands is
furnished by the Charleston News and
Courier, which tells, in recent issue,
how an unusually large white oak log
measuring forty feet in length and
forty-two inches in diameter at the
smaller end, was recently shipped from
Savannah to a northern firm. It's
value, says our contemporary. when
simply sawed into lumber for shipping
was estimated at s24o. Smaller logs
bring equally good prices in proper
ton, Of course. In recent years timber
lands in the south bearing similar
lumber have been sold for So and even
less per acre. Landowners who dis
posed Of or neglected their forest lands
played a losing game in those wears
but, now that the folly OF such busi-
ness has been brought home to them.
it is not unlikely that they will profit
by past lessons and preserve and nur-
ture their growing timber. Viewing
recent developments in the lumber
markets, it may not be amiss to sug-
gest that the farmers having about for
ty acres or more on which oak Is NOW
growing could do nothing better than
leave it alone. for IL is more than proh-
able that they will find it a good In
teTest payer, II not the most valuable
part of their farm, in a few years to
come.
