More constant and powerful fac

fractions offered by the profits to be
made from cheap lands. These tend
to an insufficient source of labor sup

other, as well as to a high rate of
factory wages, in accord with the
fundamental law thatcheap and pro-

"The working of this law has borne
heavily upon the infant manufacture

LOOKING FOR
HIDDEN TREASURE.

Mr. Jno. ". Murrah, who lives
in the southern part Of the city,
furnishes The Commercial with
the following bit OF exciting news
which has caused everyone who
knows Of it to wonder what It
means
Mr.. Murrah says that at a point
near the southeast corner Of the
fair grounds in the middle of the
street a hole about two feet. long,
IL inches vide and three feet
deep was dug last Monday night
after the rain had quit falling.
Where the hole is, there are eyi-
dences that a large tree had stood
there at one time, as the roots are
yet visible in a decayed form. On
one side Of the large hole and at
the bottom Of the same there is a
small hole to the side which in
dicates that a vessel Of some kind
had been taken therefrom, and
the general supposition is that it
contained some kind Of hidden
treasure which likely has been
there for many years. The foot
prints around show that two per-
sons participated in the digging,
but who they were or what they
got viii doubtless remain mys-
terry.

pi Conference and given charge

pecially the Methodist, are to be

Boiling in their midst, for in him
are combined all the elements that

He is able, energetic and spirit

IN HAVANA

The city Of Havana IS rapidly
being made a modern city in such
a way that it will soon be so that
the many sights which draw
tourists from the United States
to Cuba will be removed. The
old landmarks, such as the old
city walls, which are always a
sight of great interest to all tour
lists as showing Old Spanish arch
itecture and are almost worth
their weight in gold to the city
as drawing cards to tourists, are
fast being removed, and the stone
sold for a mere pittance to con-
tractors. At the present time the
old city wall at the Punta and its
surroundings known as Los Fo-
SOS, where the recoHcentrados of
General Weyler were herded to-
gether, are being removed. This
always used to command the at
tention hf tourists and none ever
left the city without insisting on
seeing the Fo8os. Now nothing
remains of the place but a mod
ern driveway, a thing that can
be seen in every modern city in
the United States. The old city
walls between Zuluetta and Mon
serrate Streets are also being
rapidly removed and being sold
for building stone.-Baltimore

With the approach of the
Christmas holidays there has
been something doin" in the
Mayors court, and although Sun
days are supposed to be quiet,
peaceful and restful, last Sab
bath was an unusually lively day
in police circles. 1t seems that
on that day Officers Smith and
Shackleford received information
which led them to believe that
Andrew Hatch, a negro who is
we'll known about town, had on
various occasions lately trans
gressed the law by selling liquor
to other sable discendents of
Ham, which, as all good citizens
know,is against the law and pun
ishable by both fine and impri8-
onment. They finally located
Hatch at the house of Bette
Easterwood, a dusky denison Of
the M. e O. bottom, whose char
acter is not quite as spotless as
the feathers of the white doves
which Glory Quayle was wont to
feed every morning at her be-
loved Mainland home. They ar
rested their man, and on being
tried before Mayor Lincoln Mon
day morning he was sentenced
to serve ninety days on the coun-
ty farm and pay a fine of 500,
with the costs in the
case.
Ella Darlington and KateCrad-
dock, two negro women who both /
seem to possess more i'll tempter T
than moral character, also dis
turbed the peace and quiet of the
Sabbath by engaging in a scrap
during the afternoon, which re-
suited in no broken limbs, nor in
fact anything more serious than
a broken umbrella, which Ella
over her adversary
head. When the case came up
for hearing before Lincoln
it developed that the
woman was the ag-
gressor in the affair, and she was
accordingly fined $3.50, the other
negroes being told to go her way
in peace and SIN no more.

Agee, has installed in Columbus
a complete new and up-to- date
delivery outfit, consisting of two
handsome wagons and two mag

wagons in future will be in
charge of reliable white men,
and the service, which has all
along been good, will hereaf-
ter be equal to that maintained
in many large cities. Both Mr..
Crumbaugh, the route agent,
and Mr.. Albright, the local
agent of the company, are to be

in securing this splendid outfit
for Columbus, but the principal
credit is due to Col. Agee, who
not only knows when a thing is
needed and deserved, but always
stands ready to supply that
need. If all the corporations of
the country had such men as
Col. Agee at their head there
would be very few grounds for
