THE OLD LIBERTY TROOP.
Has Purchased Fraser Homestead
and VIII Have Handsome ArmOry.

and VIII Have Handsome ArmOry.
Hinesville. Ca, Feb. 7.-Several of
Liberty county's most progressive and
far-sighted farmers are taking a deep
interest in pecan culture, and the agri-
cultural department of Mondays Morn
ing News is closely scanned for bits
of information which will enable them
to grow the trees successfully on the
rich hammock lands that abound in
this county. There is no doubt but
what the pecan tree could be made
much more profitable to this section
than the LeConte pears proved to be.
The Liberty Independent Troop has
purchased the old Fraser homestead,
one mile east of Hinesville, and is now
making extensive Improvements in
clearing and cleaning off the grounds.
They have already constructed a mod
ern target range, and have also let the
contract for the building of a magnifi-
cent armory and quartermaster's de-
partment which. when completed, Will
be an honor to this old historic troop.
The grounds are beautifully shaded by
a natural growth of oaks, hickory and
holly. and it is safe to predict they
are permanently doniciled for CEN
turies and from any point of view, have
secured the most desirable location
obtainable in the county
Mrs. E. C. Miller. one of the lead
ing merchants of Hinesville. who has
been busy the past two or three years,
transplanting trees and otherwise i'm
proving and beautifying his building
site here, win begin in a few days the
erection of modern residence.
There has been a larger acreage of
oats sown throughout the county than
ever before, and from reports we gath
er from various sections, are in a fair
condition and promise a splendid yield
il not injured later.

HANSON ON ATLANTA DEPOT.
The Site Is Wholly Inadequate But
Central viii Act with other Rail
roads in the Matter.

roads in the Matter.
Atlanta. Ga, Feb. Gov. Gambler
has received a letter from Mai. j. F.
Hanson, of Macon, chairman of the
board Of directors of the Central OF
Georgia Railway Company, in reply to
his letter with reference to the con-
struction Of a new depot on the states
property. Gov. Gamblers letter was ad-
dressed to President John NJ Egan.
but it was referred to Mai. Hanson for
reply. Maj Hanson says the present
site is wholly inadequate for a new
"a ssenger station, and expresses the
belief that depot constructed on that
site and at the cost contemplated by
the state. would be just as inadequate
ten years from now as the present
structure is to-day.
Referring to the charge of s per cent.
for rental made by the state, he says
there is not a railroad in the state
that could not get the use of all the
money it wanted at much less rate of
interest. He believes it viii be mis-
take for the railroads to act upon the
suggestion of using a depot built on'
this property. Notwithstanding all this.
and speaking for the Central. il the
matter can be satisfactorily arranged,
ne thinks the Central would waive its
many objections and cooperate in the
occupation of a new union depot built
on the present location, provided all
the essential preliminary details rrO-
tecting the railroads can be satisfac-
torily arranged.
This makes the third letter the Cow
ernor has received relative to the de-
pot matter. President Wickersham of
the Atlanta and West Point said to-day
that he would reply within a few days.

OTHERS HAVE,
WHY SHOULD NOT YOU
MAKE MONEY
on REAL ESTATE.

u
There are men who are now buying
real estate in Savannah who, a few
years ago, could not be persuaded to
give respectful hearing to any propo-
sition in which real estate was a fac
tor. More money has been made upon
real estate in the last twelve months
than on any other commodity that is
bought and sold. Those who fail to
make money fail because their judg-
ment is deficient -. They don't trust
themselves or anybody else-."failure
TO recognize opportunity" What one
can do others can do also. Follow the
crowd-join the procession.
If you cannot get in a syndicate to
buy ten blocks buy one block, or one
lot for yourself.
Lots are steadily advancing in the
southeastern section. At one time
they were bought for seventy five dol
lars each. Steadily they have ad
vanced beyond two hundred dollars
each. Do you want to participate in
this advance 1t is your fault If you
do not. Others are doing it, why not
you?
Come and let US talk it over.

SUWANEE SPRING.

At Camden. n. J.. they were discuss
ing the death of Hon William ].
Sewell, United States Senator from
New Jersey, when DIR. Taylor. the
family physician, in speaking Of the
senator's death this afternoon, said:
He would have probably lived many
years with diabetes had he not gone
abroad, but Carlsbad had always
helped him before. and it was there
that he went for relief again. 1t was
there that he contracted the pneu-
monia trouble, and this, with the dia-
betes he already had, resulted in
complication that medical skill proved
unable to cope with"
Thereupon DIR. W. Fl. Morse, the
American director Of the Bureau OF
Materia Medica, said:
THAT meets my argument for Su-
vance Springs. 1 published a good
word for them five years ago, and /
continue to maintain that in every
way the water is the equal of Carlsbad
or any other. The Springs are easy Of
access, and the psychic influences OF
change of scenery and climate are
wonderful. There are no chill winds to
cause pneumonia, and no malaria. MY
advice is to send all patients with kid
ney troubles TO Suwanee Springs ana
let Carlsbad take care of itself. Springs
equal in every way to the most aristo-
cratic in Europe, need our apprecia-
ton, and they are getting it,"
