greatest developments. The property
purchased from Walter Colbert and
Rev. J. n. Moore lies beautifully and
adjonts the city on the west and
northwest. The property will be di-
vided into lots and blocks and placed
upon the market. Excursions trains
will be run in here on every railroad
when the company Is ready to place
the lots on the market.
Ardmore Is to be congratulated that
Mr. Hamon will become identified
with this city. He is a town-builder
and the Ardmore men associated with
him are among the most progressive
men of Ardmore.
Every day there will be some thing
doing in Ardmore realty. Values will
climb higher and higher. Better OPP
portunties exist to buy today than
there will be tomorrow, and so on for
several years to come. There are
more opportunities to make money in
Ardmore realty now than ever before,
there are more opportunities here
than in any other town In Oklahoma.

Cuthbert Interested in Proposition
to Form a League.
The proposal of w. B. Hamilton of
Eufaula to organize an amateur ball
league composed of the towns of
Troy, Union Springs and Eufaula,
Ala, and Cuthbert, Dawson and
Americas, Ga, has caused some dis
cussiOn among our fans.
The GeOrgia-Alabama League
sounds good to us.
The matter has been discussed by
number of our citizens, and the
prevailing opinion seems to be that
Cuthbert would be benefited by get
ting into this league, should it be
organized. A good ball team does
rot only furnish diversion during
the dull months, but it brings some
business and has an advertising val
ne.
A movement is on foot to organ
ize a stock company here to put a
ball team in the field, and we hope
to be able soon to announce some
thing definite in regard to this mat
ter.-Cuthbert Leader.

Twelve Thousand Miles of Census Card
From Popular Mechanics.

Picture in your mind a single row
of cards more than $4,000 miles in
length, if placed end to end after the
fashion of a train of cars. and you
will have a fairly accurate concep-
ton of the number OF pieces OF card
board that are needed to compile
the census of the United States.
This odd bit of information was
brought to light at the census office
in Washington recently when an es-
innate was made of the amount of
shelving necessary to hold this great
number of cards while the finishing
touches are being added to Uncle
Sans decennial nose-couhting pee.
The Catds used in this enormous I'M
dertak;ng are printed at the gov
eminent printing office on a specially
prepared grade of MANILA paper,
composed largely of hemp in order
to secure toughness. The cards
measure 81 by SIS inches.
If it were possible to place the
cards end to end they would make
a row 12,704 miles in length, or IN
ether words more than half way
around the world. This would per-
nit a row of cards from New York
city to Melbourne, Australia, via
San Francisco, and there would still
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1911-04-19

remain over 900 unused miles OF
cards.
AS there are 200 cards to the
pound the total weight of the 121,-
100000 cards is about 607, 500
pounds. An idea of such an enor-
nous weight can be better under
stood when it is compared with the
average railroad locomotive, which
weighs about 100000 pounds.
If the total number of cards were
spread ON the ground they would
form a sheet of paper large enough
to make cover for 417-acre field.
This area is equivalent to more than
100 times that occupied by the Unit
ed States capitol, or about one-half
of that occupied by Central Park in
New York city. The cards cost the
government about SIS cents per thou
sand. At this rate the entire num-
Der cost $66,825.

August Matthias. who were arrested
on March II on the charge of hav-
ing sWindled a hotel and who sub
sequentIy were sentenced each to
two years Imprisonment as vaga-
bonds, have been released from pris-
on by order Of the minister of Justice
after having served twenty days.
According to the papers an inves-
tigation instituted by the minister
OF Justice showed that Brandreth
was an American millionaire.
Maitre Revelard, counsel for Mr..
Brandreth, who it is said will bring
an action against those responsible
for his incarceration, said that his
client was senior partner in the ALL
| cock Manufacturing Co. of New
York. He explained that Mr.. Bran
dreth had found himself temporarily
without money and was unable to
pay his bill at the hotel. The hotel
Keeper asked him to leave, which he
did, stopping with a friend The ho-
tel keeper later denounced him to
the police, and charged that he had
borrowed money under false pre-
lenses.
Brandreth was arrested, and in
spite of protests was sentenced to
two years Imprisonment as a va
grant. In the meantime the minister
OF justice cabled to New York to
verify his identity, but received no
reply until today. He chen immedi-
ately ordered the release of Bran
dreth, with apologies.
The judge who had charge of the
case asserts that the fault in the
delay lies with the New York author
tiles. While waiting for a confirma-
ton of his identity, the judge said,
Mr.. Brandreth was subjected to the
most lenient rule of the prison.
The Brussels newspapers comment
this evening in strong terms. The
Etoile Beige says it is a shame that
such an incident is possible in Bel
GUM and that it is probable that this
will lead to reform in the law of
vagrancy.
