HAY SOON SELL AT PROFIT.
Tobacco Growers Are Wearing q
Broad Smile Over Better Prose

The Kentucky and Tennessee tobac-
co growers have finally disposed OF the
crops of 1906 and 1907 to the American
Tobacco Company for 200 cents and II
cents per pound, realizing about Sl4,-
600, 900 from the sale.
The True Democrat learns that there
is a very decided upward tendency in
the tobacco market and that the grow
ers Of Lem a1d Gadsden counties are
likely to sell their present holdings at a
profit over the growth and harvesting.
Those who know tobacco conditions
we'll aver that no section of the coun-
try can produce a quality equal to that
of Northern Florida and Southern Geor-
gia, and that where there is one dollar
invested in the business now there will
be hundreds within few years.

A Word to Lycsum Ticket Holders.

Mr.. Murphree greatly regrets the
misunderstanding that arose last week
Regarding the time of selling seats for
the Indian Band concert. His instruc-
tons were that the seats should be put
on sale from O'Clock a. m, to 8 p. m. +,
Saturday, instead Of which they were
put or Friday, and he was notified Of
the confusion too late to remedy the
situation. Hereafter the management
will personally see that instructions are
carried out 70 the letter.
There seems tU be general idea.that
the college girls are allowed a discount
of the price Of their season Lyceum
tick cts, but this Is not the case. They
pay the maximum prices Of Sc for q
double, and So for a single ticket just
as other patrons do. consequently are
entitled to just as good seats in the
opera house.
When Lyceum patrons 20 next time
10 select their seats they should remem-
Der that all the chairSOn the lower floor
Of the house are reserved.

hrs. DUNCAN LIBERATED.
She Killed Her BrOther-In-LAw Last
August, But Did Il in Defense
OTHER Husband.

A very interesting murder case was
disposed of by Judge Meginniss on Sat-
urday.
On the 10Th Of August, last, James
Duncan was killed by vi Duncan, his
sister-in-law.
On the following day she was adj
judged insane and committed to the
asylum.
On Friday last she was discharged,
being relieved of her dementia, and it
was decided to hold her commitment
trial at once.
The evidence showed that J ames Dun
can, the man killed, had precipitated a
quarrel with his brother, Will Duncan,
that he had choked him into insensibil-
ity, and the wife wanting to protect the
life of her husband fired the fatal shot.
Her attorneys set up plea of defense
in the interest of her husband, and so
we'll was the plea sustained that Judge
Meginniss promptly discharged her.

Notes About Claude.

Peasant PIOWS Up
A Golden Harvest.
Buried Treasure Of Ancient Coins
Unearthe6 BY Land Owner Val
ued at Over $4,000.


A few days ago small peasant pro-
prietor named Pozzati at RiYa d'Ariano,
in the district of Ferrara, went forth
to pillow. He went with his big white
oxen, in a somewhat melancholy mood,
for the bit Of land he had bought from
his sister a year ago was muddy and
arid, when all of sudden, as the next
clOd of earth fell aside, his eye caught
CLEAN of something bright-a golden
acknowledgements! Breaking up
bresthlessly the clods in the furrow, to
his amazement he found them full Of
yellow gold coins. He urged on the
oxen-more coinsl Pozatti had ploWed
up big treasure. With all bis care
next day the news of his wonderful dis
eovery got wind, and naturally some of
the neighbOrs, when night cameS
thought they would try to get haul.
POzzati, however, was wide-awake and
went out to guard his treasure with his
gun, and wounded one of them, the
others made off.
GUARD is PLACED.
This ARRAY brought the whole affair
TO the attention of the authorities, and
the project sent a guard of carabinieri
to protect the property and the rest Of
the vet hidden treasure. Examination
shows the treasure of except Onal in
terest. Many of the coins date from
the thirteenth century, some large and
others smaller and thick. There are
some Of Carlo Quinti. Some of the
earlier ones bear on one side Latin
cross, with the loin cloth draped over it;
on the other the crown of thOrns and a
woman in prayer. Many Of the coins
bear the arms of the various dukes and
Ferrara, the most interesting Of these
to US, perhaps, being some which bear
the effigy Of the Duke of Hercules ii of
FRerara, whose wife, the Dutcn IS
YRa- fervent Protestant and Jealous
defender Of all the prosecuted Protest
ants. 1t is roughly estimated that the
coins found so far amount in value to
over $25, 600.
SCATTERED CONSIDERABLY.
It is nearly certain that the money
was not treasure hidden for safety,
because it is scattered over so wide an
extent. It's presence is accounted for
in another manner. All the district
from q few miles from Ferrara TO the
Adriatic consists of broken land-half
land, half water, and all "palude" or
marsh-and not so many hundred years
ago it was covered by the sea. The Pc
brings down such a vast amount of de-
bris that its delta now spreads far out
to sea, and this delta is now being year
ly "sOnificatO," or reclaimed. Thus, at
the old seaport Of Ravenna, which now
lies seven miles inland, in the days of
the dukes of Ferrara ships sailed over
what is now cultivated ground; and it
is supposed that one was wrecked and
that It's money chest, washed hither and
thither by the waters, scattered its con-
tents far and wide. Why the gold was
not found before is accounted for by
the fact that the ground has only been
reclaimed for two years. The first year
Of retaining such ground the surface
is little more than scratched" and
only the second year is the plow sent
deep.

Two Batches of Biscuits.

The Golden Age tells the following
story:
"At breakfast the biscuits were rath.
er harder than they should have been,
and Jones growled out:
Il wish | were an ostrich. Maybe !
could eat these biscuits and live after
wards"
II wish you WERE" said Mrs. Jones.
Maybe then I'd get few feathers for
my hat"
This reminds us of another story:
A young husband came home and
found his bride Of a few weeks in tears
What's the matter, my dear?" he
asked.
"Oh," she said, 1.-THE dog has eaten
the biscuit!'
why, never mind, my dear he re-
piled sOothingly, 'I'll get you another
dog"

relief measures which have already
done much to reduce the suffering
due to the enforced continuous idle
ness Of from 6,5 per cent. to seven
per cent Of all workingmen. The
idea Of allotting small gardens to men
out Of work was conceived and put
into practice by Gen. van den Bosch in
Holland as far back as 1918; today
more than 1000 poor families are thus
supported In the little kingdom. The
