Georqla's Wealth In Pecana.

A dispatch from Albany published re-
| Gently In the Constitution indicated
that within the last four months $4,000
acres of pecan lands had been sold in
and around Dougherty county.
Preparations are under way for
planting this tremendous area in the
toothsome nut that promises so large
a revenue to Georgia.
The problem regarding this especial
industry has lately changed from one
of selling nature to one of getting
lands to sell.
At present. It is said. there is an
actual famine OF pecan lands readily
available.
To be sure there are still large I'M
occupied tracts in the pecan belt. but
the owners foresee the possibilities of
tremendous development and are in no
hurry to rush their holdings on the
market.
Within only comparatively recent
years has the country awakened to
Georgia's potentialities with regard to
pecans.
Now 1t is common knowledge among
investors that orchards properly tend
ed-and the expense Of so doing is
small-return dividends beside which
many other crops are negligible.
1t is logical that in course of time
the pecan will become one of the
states best revenue producers.
The pecan. moreover is only one
item. Georgia has plenty more such at
her back to inspire the activities of the
Greater Georgia association and other
organizations engaged in the mission
Of development-Atlanta Constitution.

Jeremiah Townsend, Who Robbed His
Bank Of 100000 at One Grab.
Never Could Understand
Why He Did II.

In 1871 the country was startled
with the intelligence that the Towns
end Savings Bank of New Haven,
Conn, had been robbed at one fell
swoop of 100000 in money by its pay.
ing teller, jeremiah Townsend Then
1t was stated that this was the largest
actual grab robbery ever committed
by an officer OF bank, and TO this
day. so far as | have been able to
learn, this remains the case. There
have been much larger robberies by
bank officials stretching over a period
Of months or years, but this was A
robbery that took place in its entirety
IN given moment, young Townsend
grabbing all the actual money in sight,
stufiing 1t into handbag and fleeing
abroad with his ill-gotten treasure.
Subsequently he met a relative in a
Liverpool hotel, restored to him all
but a few thousand dollars of the
money, and voluntarily-even willing
y-returned 10 this country, to be con.
yicted and sentenced to seven years in
The states prison after making prac.
ucally no defense.
AS a resident of New Haven, had
come to know young Townsend quite
well during the three years preceding
The robbery, and in common with all
who knew him, | was unable to ac-
count for his act He was without
any bad habits or associates; he was
a regular attendant at church, an
active worker in the Y. NJ c. A. and
IN the Sunday school-in short. in
every way his department was that
OF young man Of high character and
the utmost integrity. And as we thus
reviewed his life we could find no an.
swer to the question: Why did he
do it?" And almost seven years later,
however, Jerry Townsend himself
answered the question for me.
AT that time was paying a visit to
the states prison. The warden learn
ed that / knew Townsend and volun-
teered to let me see him. Awaiting
myself of the opportunity, ! found my
old friend and acquaintance in the ca
pacity of trusty, sitting in the in
Urinary before a little table, or desk.
upon which stood various bottles con.
tanning ordinary drugs. He greeted
me cordially; no one would have
dreamt from his manner that he was
a convict.
He motioned to the bottles before
him. Il have learned the business of
a druggist since have been here" he
said. Il can put up an ordinary pre-
scription. am really the drug clerk

Banker King Would Not Accept United
States Bonds From Millionaire as
Collateral Because Their De-
nomination Was Too Large.

It was at the time of the panic of
1884, occasioned by the exposure Of
the fraudulent practises of Ferdinand
Ward OF the firm of Grant & Ward
and the consequent failure of one or
two New York banks. Credit snriv-
eled instantly; no loan could be OBJ
tanned except upon the very highest
kind of collateral security.
At the height of this crisis William
H. Vanderbilt, who had been the head
of the Vanderbilt fortune and enter
prises since the death of the Commo-
dore. in 1878, found it necessary to
borrow large amount of money. He
had abundant collateral security. both
bonds and stocks. which, under ordi-
nary conditions. would have been re-
garded as gilt edge. Ordinarily. too,
with his hundred millions of wealth
behind him, his name upon the back
