4oO ACRES OF GEORGIA
 LAND FOR ONLY S4.5O
But MT. Daniel Finds That His Title Is Not Entirely Clear and That
 the State Is interested.

Atlanta, November 20--fSpeclal.) )-Four hundred and ninety acres of land for ;.50l
 That is the price paid per lot for three lots of land in Charlton county, accord ing to papers exhibited today to Secre- tary of State Phil Cook by a man named Daniel, who stated that he was the pur- chaser.
 The three lots in question are Nos. |, 2 and in Charlton county, each con- taining 490 acres. In 1899 these lots of land were sold at sheriff's sale for taxes; owner unknown. MT. Daniel bought them at S4. 50 each, or less than one~cent an acre, and has in his possession the sheriff's deeds for them.
 Thinking possibly there might be some doubt about his title he came to Atlanta to investigate, bringing his papers with him.
 He found upon arrival that his title was quite seriously in doubt; perhaps alto gether void The records of land lottery lots in the office of Secretary Cook shows that lots 1. 2 and 3 in Charlton county were the property of the state. There is no record of their over having been sold by the state, and in the treasurer's office there is no record of any money ever hav- ing been paid for them. Everything. therefore. points to the fact that they are still the property of the state. This be- Ing the case the sheriff had no right to sell them for taxes, as no taxes were due on them.
 Secretary Cook referred MT. Daniel to Attorney General John c. Hart. and the matter will no doubt be gone into thor oughly.

HALDEMAN WANTS
 BLACKBURN'S JOB
EDITOR OF LOUISVILLE TIMES WILL MAKE THE RACE FOR THE sENATE-sENsATIoN IN POLITE GAL CIRCLES.

Louisville, Ky, November 20.-The can- the Louisville Times, for the seat in the United States Senate now held by Hon. Joseph c. Blackburn. will be announced in a day or two. This afternoon Mr Hal deman received a letter signed by the democratic state senators and representa- tives in the district. asking him to make the race and pledglng their support. MT. Haldemans acceptance of the honor Is indicated in letter which will be made public tomorrow.
 The entrance of Mir. Haldeman gives un- usual interest to the contest for MT. Blackburn's seat, which up to this time has been waged between the senator and Thomas V. Paynter of the Kentucky court of appeals. Judge Paynter is the administration candidate and 1t Is claimed that he had MT. Blackburn beaten two to one. Senator Blackburn says there Is no doubt of his victory. and he asserts that he will go into caucus with more votes actually pledged than Judge Payn- ter. With the administration and anti administration candidates supremely conf- dent the advent of MT. Haldeman caused somewhat of sensation in political cir cles. and many of his friends claimed to- night that should neither Blackburn nor Paynter poll enough votes on the first ballot, MT. Haldeman's chances will be greatly increased. MT. Haldeman has never held any public office. but has been active in Kentucky politics since the close of the civil war He served throughout the war in the Confederate arVy.

"Busy Izxy's Vacation"

George Sidney opened a weeks engage ment at the Bijou theatre last night in his new fun vehicle. entitled Busy Izzy's Vacation" It is similar to the shows he has been appearing in for the past several years and Is characterized by many entertaining features
 In the first place. Busy Izzys vaca- tion' is one of the most handsomely cos- tuned offerings of It's class that has ever been seen at the Bijou. There Is n large chorus of shapely girls and they ara gowned In a way that delights the eye. The costumes are all new, attractive and at times quite dazzling. The scenic mount ing Is also adequate, especially in tho second act, which Is supposed to take place fin California.
 George Sidney proved himself to be as amusing and entertaining us ever last night. He was given good support by his band of funmakers. while Carrie Webber was in evidence with her usual vivacity and dashing stage presence. Miss Webber is not only pretty woman but is mag netic. Her dancing last night was a most enjoyable feature of tho performance. A familiar face last night was that of Charles Lo Mier, who appeared in the role of tramp, part in which he has been remarkably successful. It is to be regretted that he is permitted only one song. His voice is heard to advantage in a solo. Matt Kennedy as Mickey Doc. evoked much laughter; Harry E. Baker as Woosy Wally. had some diverting tricks and Cathryn Rowe Palmer won ap- plause with her mimicry.
 While the music of Busy Izzy's Va cation" is not exceptionally tuneful. it has a swing and the pretty costumes and ensemble numbers make amends for any deficiencies in this respect. What the Wild Waves Are Saying" by MT. Lo Mier and the bathing girls was good and the fencing song was brilliantly presented with the chorus in dashjng costumes
 ''Busy Izzy'' contains many novelties. Nearly all of the comedy is new. This show will do big business at the Bijou this week.
