Dublin, Ga. Dec. 19.-The farmers of

who own the cotton feel sure that
the price will advance, and they do
not intend parting with their cotton
for a less price than 10 cents. OF
course some OF the smaller farmers
may sell at a lesser price, but those
who are now holding cotton are able
to hold it,

FOUND AN OLD PLOT
Map Discovered by S. D. Townsend
Shows Location Of Old Kings


In going over some old papers Of his
grandfather John 7. Robinson, who has
been deceased about forty years. Sylvester
d. Townsend, Jr., recently found a plot
of the old Hope farm, owned by the Low
erings. which many old citizens will prob
ably be interested in as 1t iocates several
points about which there has been some
doubt.
The plot includes all land between the
Brandywine and Delaware avenue and
from Adams street to the western boun-
dry of the forty acres. The plot was sur
veyed by David Farra and the map made
by William b. Virgins.
The map gives an outline of the old
Kings Highway, which many lawyers, as
well as other citizens. recently have been
anxious to locate. 1t also contains a pic
ture of tine Cross-Keys tavern on the
northwest corner of Delaware avenue and
Adams street with bowling alleys at
tached. 1t was thought by many persons
that this inn was located on an opposite
corner. The locations of Washingtonville.
Sparksvlle and McDowaiville are also
shown on this map.
On this map what is known as forty
acres was surveyed as 46 acres and II
perohes. The Highlands are outlined on
the north side of the Brandywine about
opposite Broome street.

LAW DID NOT INFLUENCE
I. WATER COMMISSIONERS
Selected Site on North Side
of Brandywine Because
South Side Was Rugged

Since the publication of an article in
a morning paper to the effect that sec
ton Z of the law passed by the Legisla-
ture authorizing the loan Of 100000 to
build new reservoir was mainly re-
sponsible for the cite chosen for the
new water plant which Is on the north
side of the Brandywine and I'm conse-
quence I'm Brandywine hundred. the
matter has aroused considerable inter-
est. 1t was pointed out In the article
that the reservoir must be constructed
I'm Brandywine hundred IL the Water
Commissioners are to secure the loan.
As matter OF fact while the section
of the law referred to designates Bran
dywine hundred for the site of the pro-
posed new plant, Chief Engineer Leisen
of the Water Department said this
morning that the law did not influence
the Water Board In the selection of the
proposed site for the water plant. He
said that an effort had been made at
first to secure a site on the south side
of the Brandywine, but no land was
available. In the first place the Du-
Pont powder mills range along that
side of the stream, said Mr.. Leisen, and
in the second place, the ground where
the Water Department would want to
erect the new plant has a sheer rise
from almost the waters edge and con-
sequently would not be a suitable loca-
tion. The land on the north side is an
ideal location and little expense will be
attached to laying pipes across the
Brandywine at this point.

from the commanding officer.
After becoming a member, the Pres

of the gun metal ones and would ap-
preciate the honor OF being allowed
to wear It, Mr.. Roosevelt is a great
admirer OF these veterans, who saw
service throughout the bloody conflict
and on next Appomattox Day he will
be the guest of the local camp, who

soRMAN AND GUFFEY MEET.
Conference In New York Starts Anti.
Parker Rumors.

New York, June 3.-Senator Arthur
p. German Of Maryland, Colonel James
NJ. Guffey of Pennsylvania and ]. Ser.
geant Cram, representing Charles f.
Murphy, have been in conference at the
Holland House.
All sorts of rumOrs disturbing to the
Parker campaign managers are in cir
culation on account of the suspicion
that Murphy is in league with German
and Guffey to sidetrack Parker and
unite either on German or some man
acceptable TO the three cOnferees.
After the conference Senator German
went to the Waldorf Astoria, where
ex-senator Edward Murphy of Troy is
staying. TO call on Mr. Murphy.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor William f..
Sheehan, one Of the main supporters Of
the Parker boom, called at the Holland
House 10 see Colonel Guffey later and
was with the colonel for an hour.
When he went away he looked dis
turbed and would not talk with report
ers.
When Senator German was seen by
a reporter at the Waldorf Astoria he
said in answer TO inquiries;
"Oh, l have retired from politics"
One of Senator Germans friends is
reported 10 have said:
Senator German is here on political
erranus. f1e is staying at the Hollapc
So is Colonel Guffey, the Democratic
boss Of Pennsylvania. Their interests
are mutual. They are against Parker.
If they were supporting the Parker
boom their respective state delegations
10 the st. Louis convention would have
been instructed for Parker AS a mat
ter Of fact they were not instructed for
any one. Senator German is a candi-
date for the nomination. but It is doubt
ful If he gets it. Things are going to
change. if they change at oil. very fast
in the next ten days. Senator German
and Colonel Guffey are here TO make
them change their way. They find that
It is anybody's race at st. Louis up to
date"
Cord Meyer, Democratic state chair
man, says that the action Of the GeOr.
gia convention in instucting for Par.
kcr just about clinches the nomination
for the judge.
"While Parker has not yet enough
instructed delegates TO nominate him
the sentiment for Parker is oyerwhelm
ing, and he viii be nominated on the
first ballot" said Mr.. Meyer.

citadel, and as far as process servers,
deputy sheriffs and Pinkerton detec-
tives are concerned it proved to be an
impregnable fortress.
1t is learned from process servers
from the Office of Warren, Warren &
O'Beirne, Mr.. Platts attorneys, that
Mrs. Elias has not vet been served
with the papers in the suit brought
against her to recover the money which
Mr.. Platt declares he gave TO her un-
der threats of blackmail.
Except from what she has read in the
newspapers and from what she has
been told by her attorney the negress
is technically not aware Of the fact
that she has been sued.
Unless a new move is made by Mr..
Platt's attorneys she will be able to
sustain herself in this position for an
indefinite time. There is only one way
by which forcible entry may be made
TO her home by the sheriffs deputies,
and that is by the issuance of a writ
of replevin. To obtain this it would be
necessary for Mr.. Plat to swear that
he has property in the house which he
is otherwise unable to obtain.
How thoroughly the suit against
Hannah Elias has aroused public in
terest was shown when mounted po-
licemen had TO be employed to drive
away the throng of morbidly curious
from Central Park West, in front Of
the woman's home. Hour after hour
hundreds stood on the sidewalk and
paving, seeming to expect momentari-
" that the negress accused by John R.
Platt Of having extorted nearly $780,
COO by blackmail would issue forth
from her refuge and then submit tc

amidst the failure OF others. the Krum
Medical Institute publishes the names
and addresses OF people cured, people
we'll known in the community, people
whose standing forbids the thought of
their lending their names TO any but
IAN honest statement. The people ask
themselves, what does this mean. and
the answer impresses itself upon them
with a force that compels conviction.
Nothing but merit and real conscien-
