WHAT He THINKS OF TERRELL
VISITOR FROM NORTH GEORGIA
IMPRESSED BY OUR FARMS.
Writes a Letter to His Home Paper
and Says What He Saw Here
Was Revelation.


Judge J. A. Pittman of Douglass
vile, who recently visited his daugh-
ter in Dawson. Mrs. D. r. Bridges,
writes an interesting letter to the
Douglass County Sentinel about some
of the people and farms of Terrell
county. He says:
The writer made visit to Ter
rell county last week. Through the
courtesy of DR.. d. r. Bridges, Messrs
Rufus Jennings, Thomas and Wyatt
Bridges and j. B. McCorkle we were
shown many of the fine farms of
Terrell county, which were indeed a
revelation to me. The Terrell coun-
ty farmers are up to date in their
profession, most Of them doing
farming on the intensive method
Mr.. Thomas Bridges, the noted south
west Georgia farmer, carried me, in
company with several others, over
his extensive and noted farm He
prepares his lands for cultivation
each year by deep blowing, using
four large mules to the pillow in the
preparation of the soil before plant
ing. He is also an extensive user
of fertilizers.
He showed us a ten-acre plat of
land he has in corn on which he
confidently expects to gather 1 ,OO0
bushels, besides winning two prizes
on the same for the year 1910. He
also has fourteen-acre plat in cot
ton on which he believes he will
reap the rich reward of 28 bales OF
the fieecy staple, each bale weigh
ing 500 pounds. He is a man OF
pleasing and pleasant address, being
in the prime of life, and bids fair ia
make himself notorious as an up
to-date farmer-one of the very best
of all professions.

LOEB FOR GOVERNOR.
That Is the Way 1t Begins to Look in
New York.

Beverly, Mass, July 12.-William
Loeb. jr., collector of the port of New
York, frankly told President Taft he
would rather remain at his post in the
ernor of New York this fall. The
president as frankly told Mr.. Loeb
that the Republican nomination SEEM
ed to be coming his way and that it
would take more than fishing trip
to the Rocky mountains to stop 1T
The former secretary to President
Roosevelt left Beverly hills for New
York, leaving the impression here that
If it became absolutely necessary for
him to take the Republican nomina-
ton he would do so and would make
it a whirlwind campaign.
The mention of the New York situa-
tion was incidental to talk on general
politics between the president and Mr..
Loeb.
Mr. Taft is not interfering in the
New York situation in any way. He
and Mr.. Loeb are the closest of friends
and whenever Loeb's name has been
mentioned to the president in connec-
ton with the New York governorship
he always has enthusiastically ap-
proved the suggestion. The collector
discussed New York state politics with
the president and made no attempt to
conceal the more serious aspects of the
situation from the Republican point
of view. He expressed again the be-
lief, however, that the Republicans
would get together and that the splits
in their party would be Offset by di-
visions in the Democratic ranks.
Mr.. Taft believes that Mr.. Loeb
would attract support from more ele-
ments of the party than any other
man.
Aside from the New York situation
| the tariff came in for share of con-
sideration at the conference. Both the
| president and Mr.. Loeb believe the
tariff commission and the big appro-
priation for it's work have wonderfully
strengthened the hands of the Repub-
| licans and offer a common ground on
which the factions of the party can
meet.
| There is a strong impression in Bev-
| erly that Mr. Loeb will see Governor
Hughes before the latter goes to Oys-
| ter Bay. It will be for the governor,
the colonel and the other New York
leaders to say whether Loeb is to have
| the nomination thrust upon him.

Gigantic Fraud Attempted on
New York Stock Exchange.
Forged Order From Amsterdam
Bankers Received.
CAN'T FIND SENDER.
Purpose Was to Boost Price of
Certain Stock.
Only One Firm Accepted the
Bait.

New York, July ia fraud on stock
exchange houses through the medium
OF rake cable orders from Amsterdam
mas been discovered here. The extent
OF the fraud and details concerning it
have not been fully cleared UP yet for
the reason that the houses which re-
celved the orders have not received re-
plies to cable inquiries which they sent
after they held up the execution of the
orders. The fake cable orders were
all Tor the purchase of a certain stock
which IS listed on the exchange here
Inc first of a series of efforts to get
New York houses to buy this stock on
rake calole orders was made. about two
months ago. A banking house here then
received a cable from Amsterdam in
structing 1t to buy 500 shares of the
STOCK IN question: The stock was pur-
chased on the stock exchange between
70 and 81, and the house cabied back to
Amsterdam that the order had been ex-
ecuted. The order had come ostensi-
ply from the Disconto and Effecten
bank or Amsterdam, but upon the re-
celpt of the cable containing the report
OF the purchase of the stock the ANS
terdam bank cab1ed back that it had
| never sent any such order, and that
the original cable must have been a
| forgery.
| A few days later cables purportine to
come from Oyens & Co., bankers Of
Amsterdam, were received here by 9th
| er stock exchange houses than the one
which had been induced to purchase the
| 500 shares lot.
| The second batch of cables however
] did not appear regular and no pur-
| chases of the stock were made Mean
while the house which had bought the
500 shares started an Investigation and
sent representative to Amsterdam
to trace the sender of the cable. In
these efforts it was helped by the de-
partment of the Dutch government
charged with the supervision of the
state telegraph lines.
half dozen houses received cable
orders yesterday to buy this stock.
This latest effort to get buying orders
| executed was on a broader scale than
any of the previous two or three occa-
! sions during the last two months in
I which this fraud was attempted. The
1 purpose, SO far as the bankers here
have been able to determine, was to
bring about simultaneous execution
of number of buying orders in this
| stock, the effect of which was expected
to be sharp advance, on which the
| individual who was causing the cables
! to be sent over to this side could sell
some of his own. The house which
bought the 500 shares lot suffered a
loss of about $2,500. for the stock i'm
mediately declined a number of points.
