The Pearl River Lumber Co., Of Brook
haven, the Successful Bidder.
Special to the mes-Democrat.l
Jackson, July 6.-The Board of Trus
tees of the Industrial Institute and
College today sold the township of
land donated several years ago to that
institution by Congress to the Pearl
River Lumber Company for the sum
of sl63,3O0. The price per acre was
$40. Hon. J. S. Sexton, of Halle
hurst, was agent for the Pearl River
Lumber Company in the transaction.
The land lies in Smith and Simpson
counties.
There we're number of bidders, all
represented by agents on the ground,
and the competition for the tract was
sharp, illustrating the phenomenal in
crease in the value and desirability of
these lands during the past few years.
At first sealed bids we're asked. but
the sums bid not being deemed ade-
quate, the board announced to the
agents that it wanted $40 per acre
for the land, and this amount the
Pearl River Lumber Company offered
to give. None of the other bidders
cared to top this price and the sale
was thereupon agreed on. The con-
sideration is, by the contract, to be in
cash, to be paid as soon as the Attor-
ney General has had an opportunity
of examining and making the proper
certification to the title to the tract.
This, it is understood, will take about
week, at the expiration of which
time the sale will be consummated by
the payment of the money into the
treasury. The sale of this land will
have several important consequences.
In the first place, it will Increase the
annual income of the Industrial Insti-
tute and College by s979S, for the law
requires the money received from the
sale of lands by educational institu-
tions to be deposited in the treasury,
Ilc Legislature ocluS CbJOiucu W
make an appropriation to pay
interest on the amount at the
rate of 6 per cent. This large sum
still further increasing the surplus in
the treasury, will set forever at rest
all question as to the necessity of any
bonds being issued for the erection of
the new capitol. AT the time of the
determination to redeem the 100000
of outstanding bonds Auditor Cole ex-
pressed the opinion that small bond
issue would be necessary to complete
the building, as result of redemp-
ton of those bonds, but this windfall
will render even this entirely I'M
necessary.
Opinion is general that the board
made fine bargain; almost as good a
bargain as the trustees of the Univer-
sity who sold the timber on their land
for IS per acre, reserving the title to
| the land itself.

CURIOUS DISCREPANCY.
Found That China Agreed to Pay More
Than Powers Wanted.

WASHINGTON, June 20--A curious
discrepancy concerning the amount Of
the Chinese indcmnities has developed,
by which ii appears that China has
agreed to pay 3J.OO0,00O taels, or $24.-
OOO,OO0 more than the united demands of
all the powers. just how this occurred
is not clear to officials. but il appears to
have been an error Of calculation at Pc
kin in the first place by those making up
the indemnities, aud later by the Chinese
In their hasty acceptance of the total.
As finally made up this total was 4J0,-
0OO,0OO taelS, but the present calcula-
tiOn, after taking in all of the demands
that are known. makes the total only
4lj,OOO,OOO tacls. In the meantime
China has agreed 10 pay the larger
amount, 50 that the question now arises
what will become of the excess of 3d.
0O0,OO taels.
Another question which has arisen n
this connection IL as to the amount Of
bonds which shall he issued to Japan, as
that country has drawn attention to the
fact that its share of indemnity cannot
be negotiated on as favorable terms as
some of the powers can make. Ii is
understood that the matter has been con-
sidcred of sufficient Importance TO bring
TO the attention OF the president, with
view to learning the general attitude Of
this government Oh the matter.
