Experimental farms of one acre each
In every section of four of the western
agricultural states is the plan which
has been proposed by Congressman
Scott of Kansas. chairman Of the
house committee on agriculture. H.s
proposition involves the establishment
Of 100 experimental farms of one acre
each in every county in four western
agricultural states to give the farmers
a practical demonstration Of the best
methods of growing different kinds of
crops. 1t is proposed that the lands
for this purpose be furnished by the
farmers themselves and that they do
the work of cultivation under the di.
rection of the experts Of the depart
ment of agriculture. No additional ap-
preparation from congress will be re-
quired to test Mr.. SCOTS plan, It is
explained, as the agricultural depart
ment now has the requisite number OF
marta to carry out the plan.

A SPLENDID RECORD.

The Athens Business College of
Athens, Ga, has made a splendid
record in placing its graduates in
good positions during the past 60
days. During the panic the employ
ment department had accumulated
few names of parties that were
hard to place, but this list has been
cleared up, and from now on they
will not be able to supply the de-
mand for their thoroughly trained
stenOgraphers and bookkeepers. Our
young people of ambition and deter
mination should write them for cat
alogue and arrange to take a course
at once. No young mans or wo-
mans education is complete this day
and time without practical business
training. If they are thrown out
upon the world to earn their living
they have practical knowledge
with which to earn it honorably; if
they are left an estate they have an
education which enables them to
take care of it and enjoy it.

OPERATING IN CALHOUN.

The Same Crowd Who Sold Mining
Stock to Negroes in Terrell.
Report comes to US of big fraud
that has been perpetrated upon ne
grOes in Calhoun county up above
Morgan recently by a strange white
man representing himself to be an
agent OF the Bishop Turner Gold
Mining Co"
1t is said that the white man
sought out the well-to-do negroes in
that section and unfolded to them
his scheme of selling them stock in a
gold mining company of which the
negro, Bishop Turner, was president,
and warning them not to show their
certificate, after making a sale and
collecting from $40 to $25 from each
OF his victims, to any white man,
stating that the white man would
take 1t away from him. BY this
method, it is said, he secured two or
three hundred dollars from the ne
groes in that section and left for 9TH
err parts. Some of the victims of the
supposed agent became suspicious,
and appealed to their white friends in
spite of the warning first given them.
They were told the certificates were
worthless, and the matter was re-
! ported to the officers of the law, who
are making an investigation. Cal

TO BE CREATIONS OF ART.
The New Series of Stamps Will BE
'sPerfectly Lovely"

The bureau of engraving and
printing have completed designs sug-
gested by Postmaster-General Meyer
for a new issue of United States post
age stamps. The new stamps will be
of the following denominations: One
cent, two cents, three cents, four
cents, five cents, six cents, eight
cents, ten cents, fifteen cents, htty
cents and one dollar. The 81 and
s. denominations now in use will not
be reprinted. 1t will be some weeks
before all the denominations will be
put on the market.
The two cent stamp will be the
first distributed, and it is expected
that shipments to pOstmasterS VIII
begin some time in November. The
new issue has been designed with
the object of obtaining the greatest
simplicity commensurate with artistic
results. The profile has been taken
in each instance instead of full
view, giving a bas relief effect All
the stamps are of similar design,
containing a head in an ellipse, the
only decoration being laurel leaves
on either side of the ellipse. The
lettering is in straight lines, at the
top being ~. S. Postage" and at the
bottom the words 1.-TWO Cents.
The one cent stamp contains the
head of Franklin, while all the 9th
ers will bear that of Washington,
taken from busts by Houdon. The
most notable differences in the new
issue will be the minimum of letter
ing. The colors are the reds and
blues of the early stamps. Director
Ralph of the bureau of engraving
and printing regards the new stamps
as the most artistic ever issued by the
| government.

He has the baron's photograph and

much locally, as he was generally
called The Baron" by his St. Louis
acquaintances.
The gtst of the barOn's st. Louis
record is that, while he only ranked
as a private in the army, he was a
captain at making a gentle touch"
or forging a friends name to cash
1t. Toward the last the baron even
got down to the level of a cheap
thief.
In Argentine, under the name of
DIR. Jacks, he married a wealthy
spanish lady, and after two months
deserted her, taking with him s25,-
