AFTER FLORIDA OFFICIALS.
revenue Agent Looking Into the
Stamping of Bonds.

Tallahassee, Fla, JAN ga special
has been here for the pu. pc of exam n
ing official bonds filed in the offlce of the
Secretary of State, to ascertain if the re-
quired fifty-cent revenue stamp had b en-
placed thereon. This agent found very
few of the bonds stamped and he so re-
ported to Washington.
Hon. John L. Crawford, secretary Of
state, has received a letter from the coll
lector of internal revenue for Florida,
calling his attention to the fact that the
bonds filed in his office must be stamped
as required by the war revenue act.
The bond of every state and county
official including sh PIP ng agents, timber
and lumber ms 5ee:ofs. naval stor in
spectors, justices of the peace, notarys
pubic, auotioneers, etc. to the number Of
about 5000, are on file in the office of the
Secretary of State and must be stamped
by the parties making the bend.
The Secretary of State is also requested
not to file any bond in future unless it
has the 50-cent documentary stamp prop
erly affixed thereto.
The war revenue act became effective
in July, 1898, and every bond fled for rec
ord with the Secretary of State since that
time must be stamped by the party max
ing the bond, many of whom are now out
of office.

WHAT ARMY OFFICERS EAT.
Great variety of Food is Dispensed
by the CommIssary Department..
From the Saturday Evening Post.

From the Saturday Evening Post
No one outside of the army has any idea
of the variety OF commissary articles
which are carried in the subsistence store
houses at army posts. The present exteu-
sive stock is a gradual growth since 1868.
when the old army sutler was supplanted
by the post trader. who in turn was div
en- out u the service by an exposure OF
corruption and collision which involved
even the wife of cabinet officer and
dragged the latter into retirement.
The post trader carried few articles
which he sold to officers and men at ex-
orbitant prices, and one of the choice gov
ernment snaps was, a post leadership.
for which men were willing to pay large
sums that they might have the protection
and license of the government In robong
the helpless army officers and soldiers OF
remote frontier garrisons. The variety oe
the post traders stock was as limited as
it's quality was Indifferent.

chased and issued to the troops. 1t begin

II was the beginning of elaborate sys-

ment has ininro1 ed its supplies year by
year keeping In mind the needs and the
desires of the enlisted men, the officers
and their families. These supplies are
outsid" tHc rec ular rations and are sold
at contract prices even to officers end
men OF the retired list, provided they
certify that the supplies are intended Tor
their own consumption.
In the list OF foods there's are now all

There are all kinds OF spices and sea-
sonings, sauces and jellies. among which
are four varieties OF pickles and two va

brands OF cigars and four varieties OF
smoking articles and supplies Sometimes
these varieties do not meet all the de-
mands Of the army and additional kinds
are provided but there Is l.mie placed

THE MARITIME CONGRESS.
Mr.. Edwin BrObston VIII Deliver Ad-
dress of welcome,


Brunswick, Ca, Jan. 2S--The Board of
Trade held one of the largest attended
meetings of its history to-day and unan-
imously selected Mr.. Edwin Brobston to
deliver the address of welcome to the
National Maritime Congress, which con-
venes here Wednesday next, on behalf of
the board President Frank d. Aiken left
the chair to nominate Mr.. Brobston and
there were many seconds from various
members.
Interest in the coming Congress is
growing created each day and many in
teresting facts were brought out at to-
days meeting. A ladies auxiliary has
been appointed to assist the business
men and others in decorating and as all
the bunting and flags in Brunswick have
been exhausted kilograms have been sent
to Macon, Atlanta, and Savannah for
more, and large number of bolts of
red, white, and blue bunting will be here
tomorrow. From New York will be Sc
cured large lot of special decorations,
and indications are that the city hall,
where the Congress will convene, the
Oglethorpe Hotel, where the grand So
cial reception will be held, and all the
business houses and various residences
will be better decorated than ever before
In the history of the city.
Delegations will come from all over the
United States, Denver Colorado sending
three Literature sent here to-day by ex-
press in advance of delegates enroute,
amounts to several hundred pounds with
more enroute TO arrive tomorrow. The
literature so far shows a disposition to-
wards favoring ship-subsidy without ref
erence to any particular BILL and the
trend OF events so far bears out the pre-
diction made exclusively in these dis
patches last night, that the Congress will
be favorable to endorsing ship-subsidy
Mr.. Brobston who will introduce the res
olution, will back 1t with strong speech
presenting forcible arguments In sustain
ing his position on this question
1t may develop that Gov. Gambler will
datly refuse to come to the congress or
have anything to do with It, This idea
Is suggested by the statement of a fri nd
Of Gov. Gambler who says the effort to
make the fight personal one on mseIf
is unfair and may fail This friend *
the position that the fight is one for the
Brunswick Board Of Trade to handl, as
1t was at the earnest solicitation of the
Board Of Trade that Gov. Gambler made
the call for the congress, upon positive as
surances that 1t was purely a business
and not a polit cal gathering. The DO
sition maintained Is that the members Of
the Brunswick Board Of Trade as
Democrats cannot afford to l t,
It be used to the endorsement
of a measure that the Democratic party
is opposed to and to which the Georgia
delegation In Washington, end Gov. Can
dler and the Democracy Of the state is
unalterably opposed. 1t is argued that
should the Maritime Congress indorse the
ship-subsidy measure, neither the G orgia
delegation nor Gov Gambler would be in
jured, as their position on the subject Is
too we'll known, but that on the contrary
1t would be decidedly unfortunate for the
Brunswick Democracy.

VALDOSTA TAKES THE PRIZE.
Sheriff PaKsmore Kills n 800 Hog.
Weighed $50 Net and Yielded
80 Pounds of Lard,

Valdosta, Ga, Jan. 28.-From returns re-
ceived to date, Lowndes county is emitted
to the palm for the largest hog yet re-
ported. Sheriff Passmore killed his giant
porker Friday, and this morning the work
of packing away>the remains was finished.
Five hundred and ten pounds of beau
tiful lard was made from the fat of this
one hog. Three great wash pots were
kept roaring all day Saturday. converting
the fat in to a pure leaf lard. 1t requlr
ed 10-fifty-pound lard cans and two or
three buckets to hold the lard, to say
nothing of the great amount of sausage,
hog-head cheese and other products that
were made.
This hog was less than three years OF
age and was raised in Sheriff PASSWORDS
yard. He was second to the largest in
the county, one other weighing probably
1900 pounds. This one weighs between
200 and 1900 gross, and when killed and
cleaned he weighed 955, that being the
net weight. BY actual weight he turned
out $40 pounds of lard. or about one and
a half tierces. Sheriff Passmore was Of
fered $50 for the monster the day before
ne was killed. The lard alone will bring
about that much, while the other prod
ucts will make the net returns from the
big porker go considerably over 500.
On Saturday farmer brought In fiat
top turnip that weighed fourteen pounds,
and he stated that he had others that
would probably weigh more than that.
Some monster samples Of various farm
products have been received here lately.
1t was in this county that a 150-pound
watermelon was raised. 1t is such prod
ucts as this that has attracted attention
to South Georgia and has proven to the
outside world that something else is rails
ed here besides gophers, alligators and
iightWood knots.
