tremeiy heavy docket, and were com pelied to pass to the next grand jury some very important cases, among these the published list of those who had secured Internal Revenue License from the National Government. for the supposed purpose of selling intoxicat- ing drinks in prohibition districts. We were astonished at the alarming increase of fire arms in the posses sion of both negro women as well as negro men. which are freely used on one another under the slightest provo cation. Upon enquiry we learn from the County Tax Assessor that his as- groes has largely increased. We urge all oficiais to use due diligence. that this dangerous condition may be stop. ped.
 Respectfully thanking all ofsicials for the many courtesies extended. and hAv- ing discharged our full duty. we now ask to be discharged.
 The financial condition of the county was shown in the report of Major S. T. Westcott. Clerk of the Board of Revenue. and by the committee, which examined the books of the County Treasurer. They are as follows

I have seen zebras driven about hitched to carriages and spring wagons and in some places even ridden by natives.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-02-23

NairObi. n RITIsH EAST AFRICA has an N American Aladdin. He scomes - from St. Louis, and like his pro- totype of Bagdad, in the days of Ha- roun Al Raschid, he has created great estate in a night. He has rubbed the golden lamp of his fortune, and the genii who serve 1t have chopped down the jungle and fenced in the wilds. 4 year ago all was a wilderness Now 20,000 acres are under his pastoral or agricultural control, and many miles of wire fences have gone up about il. He has erected stables for hundreds of horses and ponies, has q dairy supplied by over one hundred cows, and a mag nifieent bungalow home with electric lights, ice making machines and the other comforts which the nabobs of St. Louis most love. All this is in one of the widest parts of the black con tinent, where antelope are as thick IS sheep in Ohio, where there are more zebras than there gre cows in Ken lucky, where the gnus are more nu- merous than horses iii Virginia and where the lion still roars night after night and the leopard lies in wait for his prey The estate itself teens with wild animals; and it Is one of tn great private game preserves of the world.
 A Pike County Millionaire.
 The man l refer to is Mr William N. MacMillaln of Missouri. I have called him Pike county millionaire. although I am not sure that he comes from Pike. Like all Missouians he usually regis ters from St. Louis. He is about 8 years old; is dark compieXioned. tall, straight and fine looking, and he weighs, I judge, about ITO pounds He is a man of culture as well man of muscle and enterprise, and he is also evidently a man Of great wealth. He has already spent a fortune on his African estate, and I am told that he is now putting out from $60,O00 to S100, 1000 a year in Improvements. He is supposed by the citizens here to be worth some $10. 0.000,000 and to have an income running into the hundreds of thousands a year.
 As to these things however. know only from hearsay. MT. MacMillan is a modest man, and when I took tea with him at his city home here in Nairobi the other day l did not feel at liberty to ask him personal ques- tions. Indeed, a large part of the in formation which I give in this letter concerning his farm and his operations comes from other sources, although considerable cropped out in our chat
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-02-23

As it is now the settlers who have taken up small holdings are dissatisfied with the prospects. This country is a world of undeveloped possibilities. and if it were thrown open, as was our great west, each man being given 16O acres out right and aided as Canada is now aid- ing its settlers, the land would soon be taken up and considerable white popu- lation would result As it is now most of the best tracts along the railroad are in the hands of English nabobs, and the hundreds of comparatively poor men who came here from South Africa at the close of the Boer war have left. Many of those who remained are living in little galvan- ized iron shacks, and are not doing overly we'll
 Nevertheless there is no reason why this should not some day be a white mans country, settled by white men. Everywhere above 5000 feet the climate Is healthy, and at 5000 feet ice is usually seen in the early morning. A great part of the highlands has a good rainfall and almost any kind of crop common to the temperate zone will grow. Farther down near the coast patches of cotton have been planted, and are yielding 300 or 400

would not be one in London. Paris, Wash ington or Berlin, but 1t is certainly palatial in this land, where, until within a dozen years ago, there was nothing but mud huts thatehed with straw, and where the natives are still conspicuous by their nudity. The home is d low bung- allow, painted a cool green and white, with wide halls. spacious verandas and long, easy chairs all whispering com fort to the saddle-tred hunter who may have just come in, chased by a lion, or from a long hunt on the plains. The house itself was imported from England in sections, the material being brought 30 miles by oxen over flooded rivers through almost impossible swamps and through country filled with wild beasts. This is so, also, of the furniture, the wall papers and the beautiful engrav- ings and books, and also of the modern farm implements of various kinds which are now used on the estate.
 The same Is true of the machinery of the pumping station and electric light plant, which are down near the river and carry light and water to all the buildings on the homestead. The struc- lures include an engine house and rooms for dynamos, storage cells and an ice chamber
 The Dairy and Its Hundred Cows.
 In talking with me MT. MacMillan said he had now 100 milch cows in his dairy. Each gives only gallon of milk a day, but the milk is almost pure cream. and far richer than that of our American cows. MT. MacMilan tells me that he is now making a great deal of butter and that the most of it finds a ready market in Nairobi. He speaks confidently of the future of British East Africa as a dairying country, saying that the grass Is rich in it's butter- producing qualities, and prophesying that this colony will some day export butter to India, South Africa and Lon don.
 Mr. MacMillans dairy on the Juia ranch is wonder to the people here. It is equipped as well as any of the cowh ouses belonging to our million aires of the United States. It's fit

pounds of lint to the acre. I have al- ready spoken of the coffee plantations about Nairob. I am told there are also good coffee lands on the slopes of Mount Kenia. Some tobacco farms have been set out along the Ramisi river, and vegetables are now being raised here for Mombasa and the other ports farther down the coast. The people hope to raise European vegetables for South Africa, and it is their idea that they will event. ualy export meat to that country. The greatest obstacles now in sight are the insect poets and animal diseases, but they will probably be conquered, and these vast plains, which are now sup porting thousands upon thousands of an- telopes, zebras, gnus and other wild ani- mals. will eventually be teemlng with cat- tie and sheep.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-02-23

which is high and healthy.
 The Juja ranch is bounded by three rivers and is now surrounded by a wire fence. Inside the fence are thousands of antelopes, great droves of Zebras and a large number of gnus, or wilde beeste, which are a combination between a horse and a COW and are of the antelope species There are also rhinos and hip pos unnumbered. The hippopotamuses in- fest the lands along the rivers, and these streams are also inhabited by crocodies. The other da, Mrs. MacMn- lan's favorite terrier attempted to swim creek not far from the house and was gobbled up by a crocodile A day or two before that a rhinoceros attacked one of the negroes who was lioeing the
