PERTINENT FACTS ABOUT
STOCK RAISING IN GEORGIA

To the Editor of The Journal:
I have had several letters of inquiry in
relation TO an article 1 wrote few days
ago in your paper in reference to stock
raising in Georgia. For the benefit OF
these inquirers / will give a few facts
First of all, there are plenty of lands
in south Georgia that can be bought from
50 to 81 per acre. These lands will make
any kind of crops and a large amount of
grass, Bermuda growing luxuriantly II
plowed once every two or three years.
Sorghum thrives in a luxuriant manner
and furnishes more feed than anything
that can be raised One farmer Of our
own personal knowledge has succeeded
in feeding ten head of work mules and
his COWS and hogs for four months on
two acres of broadcast sorghum when he
had gotten ont of corn.
Another farmer of our knowledge is
grower of stock Only this morning I
heard from him the following: Il have
in my pasture two head of good horses
three years old. have never fed them
grain Of corn or a bundle of fodder or
any other feed. They we're put into pas
ture in the summer and In winter went in
a cane pasture Outside Of the trouble Of
taking care of them in this way and the
loss of work of the mares for a time,
am not out a penny on the raising"
Now this farmer has other colts coming
on like these two, and is one of the most
respected and reliable men in Lee county.
whose address will be cheerfully given
If the statement is doubted by anyone.
What is true of tbs is true of the rest
Of south Georgia. and If horses can be
raised in this way, what is to prevent cat
tie being raised likewise? With beef away
UP out of sight. what is to prevent fort
unes being made. and the prayer of Geor-
gia should be that il may continue until
she can get in the way of stock raising.
The only trouble with most of us is that
we are too poor to buy the fencing and
stock for raising but with sufficient CAPT.
tai beef at present prices is worth more
than any cotton that can be raised.

DISTRICT NOT RESPONSIBLE.
Opinion of Solicitor on Application for
Protection Against Eiectmeut.

MIR. A. B. Duvall, the city solicitor has
rendered an opinion to the District Com
mlssioners on the communfca ton of Mr. E.
A. Mc1ntire, who owns a home on King
street. in Kings subdivision Of Long
Meadows. and who was recently sued in
an e1ectment proceeding, it being claimed
by the complainant that Mr. McIntire's
house was wrongly located. Mr.. McIntire
declares he got the lines of his lot from the
former District surveyor, and should, there
fore, be protected by the District Mr.
McIntire says he built a two-story house
% feet front by 81 feet depth, upon the
lot. for which the lines were secured from
the District surveyor. The copy furnished
him was dated April IA, 1893, and signed
William Forsyth, surveyor, D. c.
Mr.. McIntire was sued in December last
in an action of ejectment by S. NJ Ely
and the latter's attorney has called his at
tentlon to recent survey purpOrted to
have been made by the present surveyor of
the District, Mr.. H. b. LOCKER, showing
Mr.. Mc1ntire'S house to be twenty feet over
on Mr.. Ely's lot. Mr. McIntire suggested
that If Surveyor LOCKER was correct in this
the District should protect him against
loss. inasmuch as he exercised every pre-
caution prudent man could, by engaging
the services of the District surveyor, not
as private business man, but as the
agent Of the District government, and
such he was furnished the lines upon which
the building was erected in good faith.
The controversy in this case" says the
solicitor, grows out of the mistake in the
location of King street. l am of the opfn-
ion. however. that the District of Columbia
Is not required to protect Mr.. McIntire
against his loss, if any, in the premises.
The surveyor was not the agent Of the
District of Columbia in making the sur
vey. nor was he its agent In furnishing the
lines upon which the building was erected.
The authorities on the question of munich
pal liability under such conditions appear
to be in line with the law as laid down by
Judge Dillon in his work on municipal cor
porations, which is as follows:
"A municipal corporation is not respon-
sible for the mistake or the want of care or
skill of the city surveyor or engineer,
whether appointed and removable by it or
elected by the people. when he performs
duties Though the performance thereof is
regulated by ordinance) for or between pri-
vate individuals, as, for example, fixing the
boundary between their lots. In such case
the principle Of respondent superior does
not apply, as it does or may when its
officer acts for the corporation. or under its
direction. in making corporate improve
mentS.'"

thorities to abandon Queens Chapel road
and stating that the road Is the property

A Pathetic Excuse.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune
Teachers in the public schools often fnd
laughter and tears close together in their
experiences with pupils In one OF the
West Side schools a teacher in the primary
grades had had great difficulty in impress
ing on her pupils the necessity of bringing
written excuses when. for good reasons.
they were absent or tardy. She even went
SO far as to call on the parents of some of
the pupils and explain the matter to them
personally. One of the families on which
she had the hardest work to impress the
necessity of sending excuses was that of a
little boy named Isadore. His parents had
been in this country but short time and
did not understand the American customs
but finally the teacher. after several calls
succeeded in impressing on them the import
ance of what she asked
Two or three weeks later Isadore was
absent for three days The teacher mad
up her mind that something serious must
be the matter. The boy was a bright and
willing pupil and she had become much in
terested in him. Finally, on the morning of
the fourth day, another pupil whose parents
lived in the same block with Isadore came
up to the teachers desk when he reached
school in the morning and handed up a
tear-stafned and dirty little piece of paper.
Dear teacher, it said, In painfully Ia
borious letters. please excuse little Isa-
dcro for being absent. He is dead"
