Cordele, Ca. May 3.-A dead body is
concealed in the bottom Of a loaded coal
car which reached here today from EN-
pire, Ala, and consigned to Albany. Ne
groes working for the railroad refuse to
unload the car. The theory of murder
is advanced. The car was refused by
another railroad from that which brought
it thus far on account OF the stencil.
The car was today placed on a side
track Ave miles from here.

One OF shackieton's Stories
ew York Letter to the Cincinnati Times

New YORK Letter 10 the cincinnati I1meS-
Star.
One of Sir Ernest Shackleton's stories
of his experiences while in the Antarctic
regions was very readily credited by
those who met him while he was here,
and marked the quiet, matter-of-fact cour-
'esy which seemed to inspire his every
thought and action. He Is one of the men
who are instinctively courteous-not at all
like the chaps down in Panama, as relat-
ed by a recent writer. They all have
women down there. you know said this
recorder OF facts, Ito do the work. Righ-
to. Why, If man was to be seen pick
ing up railroad tie there the other fell
lows would call him sissy"
Shackleton told of Professor David, who
kept his temper and his calm, even when
the temperature stayed lower than 80 de-
grees below zero. One day they heard
David's voice calling "Marsten, I say;
Marsten! Are you busy?''
Yes said Marsten, angrily. He was
engaged on some piffling job
Are you really very busy?"
Yes" howled Marsten, sourly.
"Oh well. never mind, them said
David, in a resigned tone It stirred
Marsten's conscience.
What do you want?" he demanded
We'll" said David very apologetically.

I've fallen into a crevasse and can't

From Consular Reports.
The following Information concerning
the trade in toys in Spain Is furnished
by Consular Agent A. e. Charleton, of
Almeria:
Christmas trees are almost unheard of
in Spain, and the small folk receive their
toys and presents on Twelfth-night in
stead OF Christmas night but neither
night. so far as giving and receiving re
membranes are concerned. has the same
significance as In the United States, for
instance. Notwithstanding the negative
attitude of Spaniards in general toward
these holidays, there seems to be fair
~ good market here for toys of all de-
scriptions not, however, of much at
Effectiveness as compared with American
toys.
Most Of the toys sold In Almeria are of
German make-from Nuremberg chiefly.
In one Of the leading shops IS per cent
were German toys; the balance. with the
exception OF very small amount from
France, being made up Of Spanish toys.

COUNTY POOR FARM SOLD.
Pauper Farm Brings S475 And Is Bought
By James 7. Carpenter.

Last Saturday II, J. Davidson,
as special commissioner appoint-
ed by the county court, sold the
lands comprising the Sharp
County Paupe: Farm at public
auction to the highest bidder,
The purchaser was James 7.
Carpenter, who is at present liv-
ing on the farm and caring for
the county paupers, and the price
paid was S475. There was but
one other bidder. Albert Wat
kins of Washington township bid
$3.50, but would not raise the
price offered by the successful
bidder.
A great many people perhaps
do not know the history of the
county's ownership of this farm,
In all the farm consists Of lG5
acres, very small portion of
which is in shape for cultivation
at the present time. 1t was pur-
chased by the county in 1887
while James Montgomery was
county judge, from 7, I, Kent,
who now lives near Poughkeep-
sic. The purchase price was
ST, 200, paid in yearly Install
ments Of $400 each. The place
has since been occupied by so
many different tenants and re-
ceiYed such poor treatment that
every year has seen it deteriorate
in cash value, Notwithstanding
the fact that the county has, from
first to last, paid out a vast sum
Of money for improvements. Mr..
Carpenter, the purchaser, ex.
poets to spend some money and
a great deal of labor on the place
and make it his permanent home,
The Record has not too sig nv-
est intimation direct from County
Judge Kelley as to what his
plans are for the paupers after
they leave the farm next Janu-
Sharp County record., 1910-06-03

ary Grst. The contract for the
care Of paupers during 1911 will
be lel at the next October term OF
the soanty court, which will be
Jude 4 Kelley's last term of court
befo%a he retires from office. We
have understood that the judge
contJ.oplates locating the pau
pers IN a small tract of land
near elyening Shade if suitable
plac can be procured.
Judge Kelley is going to find
that Continent is divided as to
the slSe of the poor farm, Many
will Sink il the proper thing to
havef done; many will not. OF
courNn the success Of his action
depoads almost altogether upon
the developments of the future
and tghat arrangements can be
mada hereafter. The editor Of
this / &aper is very strongly IN
clineE to Judge Kelley's position
in. d posing of the farm. The
place IS old, poor, out of the way,
in be- condition and to put it in
anything like good shape would
have cost the county a good sum
OF mDley and required the per-
soma, supervision Of some one
havir authority. 1t seems to us
that a more accessible place
might be found for the paupers,
where the general public can
have1 an opportunity of seeing
more Of the conditions which
surround them.
II she cares to do so, Judge
KelleF can answer his critics in
this matter by pointing to the
fact that Lawrence, lzard and
other counties near to Sharp
DO not own and maintain farms
for their paupers' Yet these
counties have their pauperS
cared for as cheaply as Sharp
has Seen doing, Notwithstanding
