Rare Lndian Relic Found
 Recalls Early History of Race.

The relic was found on the Alabama river between the Junction of the Coosa and Tallapoosa rivers and the town of Coosa. In Indians day in Ala bama this section of the State was thickIy settled. Coosada located on the river near the present town of that name, was one of the most important Indian towns in A1abanfa. And at the junction of the two rivers where they meet to form the Alabama, there was another large Indian town. Smaller towns were situated on the Alabama the Coosa and the Tallapoosa rivers. >The stone found by Master Bibb. has a figure on it's closely resembling the figure q It was undoubtedly put their as mark of Identification by its aboriginal owner.

Columbus, Ga. May 12.-(Special.)-- novel spectacle was presented in Jus tice Lennard's court yesterday afternoon when John Bockman swore out a pos sessory warrant to recover from Rob ert Seymour an enlarged picture of the latter.
 Bockman is now the husband. of Sey- mour's divorced wife, and hanging con their home--formerly Seymonr's home ---is an enlarged picture of husband No 1. It Is alleged that Seymour went to the house during Bockman's absence. took the picture off the wall and car ried 1t off with him. Acting on the principle that everything that be- ionged to his wife belonged to him, Bockman at once resorted to law to get the picture back.

Master John S. Bibb. of Coosada. has found a rare and unusual Indian relic on the Alabalna river. The article Is q stone bod string po1isher," so rare that Picketts in his history of the In- dians publishes a fac simile of one that came under his observation.
 It is of brown 'soap-stone with a hole pierced near the centre. The abo- riginee used the stone with the tiny hole in 1t, to polish his rough bow-strinfi of deer hide. The string as 1t was cut from the deer hide was so tough and the long bow of the Indians. The stones were used to rub away the rough places and polish the string for accuracy in its use.

DiUorced Husband is Sued
 For Copy Of His OlUn Picture.

Seymour seemed amazed that the sec ond husband had taken out a warrant to get the picture. Placing the like ness on table before Judge Lennard he asked in tone as if the answer should setsls the question that of 9%ngfe He was informed that that was exactly the question at issue
 Bockman finally az i"ed to give Sey- mour his picture if he would pay the costs that had been incurred in the case. Husband No. 1 said that he would do so willingly-only. he chanced not to have the funds. Illus band No. 2 said he would lend him the amount--provided the court would hold the picture until Seymour had re, iri,bursed him. This the judge agreed to do, and so the case was settled on this basis.

Every man should give in his property
for taxation according to the law and
under his OATH and if he fails to do It.
the law Is right in fixing penalties for
the failure.
There are doubtless many inequalities
In the assessments of property, and this
Is to be regretted. but this Is not the fault
Of the law. The Constitution and the law
provide that all assessments OF real es-
tate and tangible personal property shall
be at their fair market value except
where 1t Is otherwise especially provided.
l said to you in my charge when you
were impaneled, I did not believe that
any great number of the citizens OF our
county would Intentionally refuse to give
in their property for taxation, and am
gratifed to know from your report that
such Is the fact, and you have not felt
in your duty to make any indictments in
reference thereto but thnt when the law
as explained to the citizens. they will

OF your action is INDUCED in,
you may rest assured 1t will be by those

planned to them, are still unwilling to
obey 1t.

Figures That Talk.

A gentleman connected with the Aud
itor's department of the State govern
ment estimates that similar action on the
part OF grand juries of other counties
and some of the cities OF the State will
legtimately and properly increase the
revenues of the Commonwealth some
thing like quarter of million dollars.
Says he: IF that brings In more money
than the State needs for proper purposes,
why then the rate OF taxation may be re-
duced virginia's present system OF tax
alton is all right, and there are no in
equallties in it. The inequalities come
in the matter of assessments and in the
matter of taX-dodging. The very essence
of the whole trouble may be read in

Ideas Rather Exalted,

Real estate men, like men in other lines
of business, have different views of
things. For instance. one who is as we'll
posted, perhaps, as any man in the city,
said to The Times-Dispatch man: while
the new years business Is opening up
very we'll, we are all confronted with
one trouble and that is that there has
been too much booming. The agents
are, perhaps, to blame somewhat, and I
have no doubt that the newspaper men
are very much to blame for this state
OF affairs. Maybe, though. the ignorance
of property-holders is largely to blame.
but be all this as 1t may. the fact re-
mains that majority of tho people of
Richmond who have property to put on
the market have an Inflated idea of the
real value of the same.
ITO illustrate: A few days ago man
offered to put In my hands a certain piece
of property to sell--property that he
bought at real bargain not three years
ago. / knew what he paid for it at that
time, and thought, of course. he would
be satisfied with reasonable profit-say,
something like 5000; but do you know he
wanted not cent less than $1,000 profit?
or course, that was ridiculous; the prop
erty isn't worth that much money, and
won't be for several years to come
think he had been m!sled by the news
papers. or maybe he is Just ignorant Of
the fact that the particular location of his
property Is not so favorable as some
other property that may have recently
been sold for something like the figure he
wants me to get for his less favorably
located ground. Be that as it may, the
fact Is that he will have to hold that
ground for several years yet before he
can realize anything like his present estl-
mate of its value"
Another agent, speaking Of the rental
business, said:
do you know that Notwithstanding tho
large number of elegant residences cons
pleted last year, there is not now
single high grade dwelling In this city
that can be rented? II you do know
of any such dwelling please let mo know:
| have not less than three applicants for
it right now"
This agent went on to say that the
three applicants he had reference to were
out-of-town people, people from other
STAGES people of means, who want to To-
cate Is this city and want to To-
cate at once, and not walt the time nee
essary to build q comfortable and hand
some house to live IN, hut would delight
to lease such house IL there We're
such In the city to be had.
There is he declared "a larger de-
mand for ilrst-class, high-grude homes
on the part of responsible renters than.
this city has ever known 1t seems to
me there is no better field open to CAPT
talsts than that Of the building OF ten.
or twenty high-gtade residences along
Franklin Street, Monument Avenue and
intersectins streets, to be held either for
rent or for sale"
