NORTH DAKOTA LEADS.

North Dakota leads all other
states in landoh 20 business. TIE
report of the Secretary of the
Interior for the last fiscal year
year shows that one-ffth of the
entire number of homestead
entries made in the United States
for the last fiscal year we're made
in North Dakota. This shows
the extent to which government.
land has been taken up in North
Dakota and goes to explain the
large increase in population
shown by the recent census. The
Iandoffce at Devils Lake for the
last year aid the greatest bust
ness Of any Office in the United
States. The receipts for the ,fice
for the year were about Sl75, 900.
This immense business is due
largely to the vast immigration
business done by the railroad and
the many settlers who have taken
up land along the line in that
district. The report also shows
ihe business done in the landofces
in North Dakota was profitable to
the government, over and above
salaries and expenses, from the
landofices in North Dakota for
the past fiscal year was 1914, 66l.-
ia The figures cited in the re-
port show that the tide of
immigration flowed stronger into
North Dakota than any other
state in the Union. The coming
year will also show an immense
Volume of business in the land
offices of the state, as many
quires are already being receiv-
sed concerning North Dakota land
ana many settlers will take up.
land the coming year.

ISs the fight over the hip:subsid
Hill M a stinctly ! fight between a
llyndic ate administrati and those.
knerican senators who are etillI
faithful to the interests Of the
American people. Syndicate
politicians propose to place tex
burden of nearly 5000, 100000 on
the American people for the sole
benefit Of certain concerns and
iadividuals associated together for
tho purpose Of pushing a great
subsidy grab to successful finish.
there is no denying the plain
truth-it is being brought ont
more and more clearly every day
by the opposition to the senate's
passage Of the measure. As now
framed, tho bill does not promise
to stimulate American shipbulld-
ing, although this is its chief ex-
cuse for being. What it does
promise to stimulate Is the
purchase of foreign built ships by
certain interests eager to grab the
snbsidy-which they can do as
we'll with foreign-built as with
American-built craft. Not even
are equitable subsidies offered
those vessels that have the
heaviest freight-carrying tonnage,
although it's avowed object is to
increase the carrying of freight to
American vessels and to encourage
aud extend American trade. The
subsidies as now provided will be
paid to vessels of the highest rate
of speed-thus achieving the re-
mRrkable result OF subsldlZlng
those swift ocean liners that carry
the least freight. If the ship.
subsidy bill is passed it will tax
the American people 100000 a
year for twenty years for the
enrichment of the syndicats. 1t
will confer absolutely no benefit
on the taxpayers. It will prob
ably be passed, the president and
Mark Hanna being determined
upon the grab. To this complex
ion has it come at last in this
country when an issue is raised
between the American syndicates
aud the American people.

SAMUEL B. ADAMS APPOINTED
Made a Trustee of the University to
Succeed Mr.. Denmark.

Made a Trustee of the University to
Succeed MIR. Denmark.
Mr.. Samuel B. Adams has been appoint
ed a trustee OF the University of Georgia
from this congressional district, to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of the
late Brantley A. Denmark. A telegram
from Governor Gambler notified Mr..
Adams OF his appointment last night and
he at once wired his acceptance.
Governor Gambler urged upon Mr.
Adams the necessity of his attending the
meeting of the board of trustees during
the commencement exercises that are
now in progress and suggested that he
leave at once for Athens. This Mr..
Adams will not be able to do, as bust
ness engagements demand his presence
here tomorrow. He will leave for Athens
tomorrow evening, however, and reach
there the following afternoon, in time to
be sworn in as trustee before the board
adjouns.
1t is only because of this appointment
that Mr.. Adams viii go to Athens at all;
he had not expected to go until he receiv-
ed the telegram of the governor, bring
ing the news of the unsought, but very
highly esteemed and appreciated honor
that had been conferred upon him. Had
IT not been for the appointment, the be-
reavements through which Mr.. Adams
has so recently passed would have served
to keep him away from the scene of the
festivities of commencement week; now
that he has accepted the appointment as
trustee, ne feels mis- duty rquires that he
make his appearance in Athens before the
final adjournment of the board.

POLICY SHOP RAIDED.
Detectives Captured a Writer and
other Places Closed.

Detectives Captured a Writer and
other Places Closed.
An effort was made yesterday morning
to open up the policy shops, and for pos
sfbly an hour business at the old stands
was quite lively The warning given
by Rev. Sam Jones to the negroes ap-
peared to have no effect and they SEEM
ed anxious enough TO give up their money
for the little slips, containing numbers
that they had dreamed about. While they
remembered having been told that they
are being robbed when they go UP
against the game, the negroes seemed
perfectly willing to take a chance with
something like a thousand-to-one shot
against the player. They did not care to
recall the words of veteran gambler,
who once remarked that the rake-off in
policy is 30 per cent. greater than steal
ing.
At o'clock the city detectives learned
what was going on. Word was first taken
to Detective Stark. and, accompanied by
Detective Murphy, ne visited a place in
Broughton street lane. just east Of JET
ferson street. The one-story building
was used as a branch office of the "Only
Genuine" wheel, and quite a number of
customers were on hand when the Off
GERS arrived. When the writer saw the
detectives he stopped issuing tickets, but
was unable to get them out of the way,
and was promptly placed under arrest.
At the police station the negro gave his
: name as Robert Harris, but refused to
say by whom he had been employed to
write, or who the proprietor of the "Only
Genuine is. lie seemed to take his ar
rest as a matter of fact. The detectives
hurried around to the other branch Of
fees, but the news of the first raid had
spread with lightning like rapidity and
there was nothing doing. No further eff
fort wac. made to do business and the
shops remained closed during the remain
der of the day.
Superintendent of Police Reilly stated
last night that he has instructed the de-
tectives that they will be held RESPONSE
BILE for the running of the policy shops
In open violation OF the law. The officers
are quite active, and 1t is generally be-
lieved that the game is doomed in Sa-
vsnnah for time at least Now that the
policy wheel owners see that the police
are not throwing a 'front.' but are in earn
est, they will probably make no further
effort to do business. The negro Harris
will be given a preliminary examination
by Recorder Myrick in Police Court to-
morrow morning.

We read recently that as an indication
of the general prosperity of the country
the importation of diamonds the past
year was the largest on record. Another
straw that indicates a prosperous condi-
ton is the lavish display Of presents at

these presents come from Sternberg's, it
