Important Real Estate Deal.

S. f. Crittendent of Montgom-
cry closed a deal last week where
by he acquired 2, 600 acres of land
lying two miles east of Chipley,
purchase being from Dekle Land
Co. Although the price paid for
the land could not be learned de-
finitely, we understand it was
about $40 per acre. The proper
tv will be cleard and developed
and planted in pecans.
The development of this prop
erty is great undertaking and
will involve the expenditure of
quite sum of money, and it will
be several years befor Mr.. Crit
tendon will begin to realize profit
from the enterprise, but when
the trees does come into bearing
he will probably realize immense
profits.

West Florida Route Selected.

The good news was heard here
Saturday morning that the Moul-
trie, (Ga.) Chamber of Commerce
had selected the West Florida
route for the Moultrie Pensacola
highway, after hearing the claims
of the towns along the three pro-
posed routes, secuted by w. E..
Aycock and S. d. Tuttle OF Moul-
trie, H. B. Layton of Triton and
N. ]. Lillard of Pensacola.
The route traverses the follow
ing towns: Triton, Moultrie, Ca
milla, cambridge, Mariana, Cot
tondale, Chlpley, Bombay, DeFu-
MAX, Milton and Pensacola.
Delegations from the towns
along the proposed routes we're
present to present their claims.
The West Florida delegation was
heard first, after which the South
Alabama delegations presented
their claims. The scouts then
took the matter under advise

ment and after careful consider
alton of all claims, rendered their
decision in favor of the West
Florida route.
The main factors in the selec-
ton of this route were the short
ness of the distance by sixty
eight miles, as well as the perfect
organization of the West Florida
counties and the pledges of the
counties to build the road and
bridge the rivers.

NINE MORE
MUST RATIFY
AMENDMENT

New York, March 21.-Nine more
states must ratify the proposed federal
income tax amendment before it can
become a part Of the constitution. Re-
ports received here from the capitals
OF the 46 states show that the amend
ment has received favorable action in
the joint legislatures of 26
Vermont, Rhode Island and Utah
have refused to ratify the amendment
this year, while New Hampshire has
taken favorable action in only one
branch Of the legislature. Among the
IS which have not yet acted, the ques-
tion is pending in Louisiana, New
York. Massachusetts, Maine, Connec-
ticut, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
The matter is scheduled to come up
before the legislature Of Florida next
month. West Virginia has "postpon-
ed" action, and Arkansas, Tennessee,
Wyoming. Minnesota and Delaware
have not considered the matter
The amendment was passed by con-
gress in the form Of a resolution on
July 5, 1909. It seeks to add to the
constitution new article, No. i6, read
ing as follows
The congress shall lave power to
lay and collect taxes on incomes, from
whatever source derived. without ap-
portionment among the several states
and without regard to any census emu
meration.
The constitution provides that pro
posed amendments to become valid
must be ratified by three-fourths OF
the states. That necessltates favor
able action by s5 Of the 40 states be-
fore the government can proceed with
the new method Of Increasing revenue.
There Is no limit 10 the time Of snch
ratification an dnegatlye action by a
legislature is not conclusive, state

the adjournment Of congress on March

senate office building and now they
contend they should be permitted the
use Of the suites as members Of the

Of $500 a year continue as monetary
commissioners and they fail to see any
good reason why they should be de-,
priyed Of the marble and mahogany
senatorial working quarters.

who became exsenators at the close
Of the session were Aldrich, (republi-

POSTAL BANK
SUCCESS

Washington, March 2i- "rhe pos
tai savings bank system has been more
successful than reasonably could have
been expected"
That was the comment made tonight
by Frank II. Hitchcock, postmaster
general, on the analysis Of the returns
from the As postal savings banks that
have been in operation since January
3, The reports cover the period from
the establishment to February rs, 1911.
In that time 1929 accounts were open
ed and 6.86l separate deposits made,
the average amount of each being
$2l5O. Only 259 accounts were closed
the total number Of open accounts on
February 28 being 1904.
Could Deposit 200 Million Yearly.
The net amount Of deposits after
two months Of operation was $l3s.S69.
ls the same ratio of deposits and with
drawals is maintained for a year. the
amount on deposit at tbs end Of the
year would be $SO3,2l4
The aggregate population Of the As
cities is approximately 100000. statis-
tical experts Of the department has es-
timated that if the postal savings sys-
TEN should be patronized in the same
proportion when it is established at all
money order postoffices. the total on
deposit after one years operation
would be about 200 million dollars,
Mr.. Hitchcock is engaged in prepar-
ing for the establishment Of $50 addI-
tional postal savings banks, an appro-
priation Of V million dollars having
been made for the extension Of the
system. The list Of cities will be an

The pyritie ore described is harder

No doubt the mineral contents Of
this fissure existed much nearer the

and il Is impossible 20 predict where
the re-doposited ore bodies win be

This condition IL possible, but my
experience leads me 20 expect the
high grade copper ore bodies at or

The great width of the fault fis.
sure affords ample room for the de-
position Of ore bodies Of important
size, but, at the same time. renders
the exploration work more expensive.
The remnants Of native copper and
oxides found in such a fissure are in
variably signs Of the earlier exist
ence Of copper ore at these places,
and IL is a matter OF experience that
in such eases the ore is usually rede-
posted lowed down.
There Is no reason why thi. should
not have occurred here, and IL Is my
opinion that ore bodies Of similai
