The Swamp Land Bill

How does the Akin swamp land
drainage bill strike the owners of
such lands? 1t was passed by the
Senate on Tuesday and will probably
become a law 1t applies, of course,
to all the counties of the State, but
is really intended to bring about the
drainage of swamp lands in few of
the South Georgia counties where
there is a great amount of very rich
land that would be very valuable
for farming purposes if drained.
By the provisions of this bill the
county commissioners are authorized
to drain the lands at the expense of
the owners of them, and if they OBJ
ject the commissioners may condemn
them and then drain them. 1t is prob
able that in not few instances the
lands would pass into other hands,
and the present owners wouldn't be
greatly benefited, unless they could
provide money to pay the cost of the
drainage work But the c0utieS in
which the lands are situated would
be benefited. They would gain in
health and in revenue. The drained
lands would be assessed at a fair
valuation and they would be big
crop producers. The bill is in the
line of progress, but it is doubtful if
the owners of the lands will find
much in it to approve. If there had
been such a law years ago much of
the drainage that has been done
in this county would have been paid
for by the parties owning the lands
that have been benefited by the
drainage work that has been done.
Still, there is a good deal of good
land yet that is undrained in Chat
ham.-Savannah News.

friends are aware of the fact. In

holding back their subscriptions

date the last day.
All the candidates have worked
hard to capture the auto and that
the final hours are drawing near and
the struggle is becoming closer and
closer and each subscription brings
them nearer the much longed for
prize, their friends should do the
right thing an come to their aid

lucky as to win the first prize-the

Walking the Cars a Hair Raising Ex.


 There came over me as 1 sat in the | caboose that evening q wild desire to ride With the engineer in the cab. Planning to slip ahead along the half mile or so Of train at the first stop, made known my desire to our con- ductor over that part of the run. They'll be glad to see you he told | me. You won't have any trouble get tin there. It's mild eyenin'." He swung open the window of the lookout and called to his rear brakeman, Jim mic, run along with this here party Jimmie pulled ne through the window of the lookout before I clearly realized the entire plan.
 It was q slippery path over the roofs of sixty cars to the big engine that was pulling us. and the wind that swept ill from the shores of the ice bound lake. along which the tracks ran for nlany miles, snapped sharply over those car roofs. Jimmie hung on to his lantern with one hand. to his con voy with the other. Long miles over those slippery car roofs had taught him to regard it as no very serious business
 '"This ain't nothin',' was his assur ance. Ut sometimes gets nasty when we get down to zero an a blizzard comes a-rippin' from off over the lake. Sometimes you have to get down an crawl on all fours. 1t wouldn't be much fun to be swept off the tops of those cars"
 
 There was no diSputing that, nor that the three lengthwise blanks at the gable of the car roofs were not wide promenades. You jump from one to another to cross from car to car. and man has got to have something of a gymnastic training and some cir GUS as well as railroad blood in his veins to do it many times without dropping into one of the hideous dark abysses between them.
 A hand out Of the dark slapped me in the face. Drop" said Jimmie. and. fearing possibly that l might not obey. he pulled me fiat down upon the car roof.
 That was a 'telltale,'" he explained. and before 1 could ask further we were i'll short reach of a tunnel. and l understood We were whirled through that tunnel like a package in tube, and if we had raised our arms we could have touched the flying roof of the bore The smoke lay heavy ill the place. 1t flied our eyes and nos trils.
 Not real nice.'' said Jimmie cheerily. 'But no danger in the holes. save now and then an icicle gets crack at your nut You see, there ain't much use in arguin' the matter after that 'telltale' strikes you" Edward Hungerford in Tarnnr'e
