HOLD ANY OF THESE BONDS -?
UNCLE SAM HAS STOPPED PAY
ING INTEREST ON THEM.
Government Securities For Loans
Aggregating 100000 Will Prob
ably Never Be Collected.


WASHINGTON.-The debt of the
United States government, on which
interest has ceased and the greater
part of which probably never will be
collected from Uncle Sam, aggregates
$1,700,450, covering loans all the
way from 1890 to 1907. This fact
was made public today by j. c. Ma
pier, register of the treasury, in his
annual report for 1912.
There are a number of holders of
these bonds who refuse to present
them for redemption, although they
know that the government long ago
ceased to pay interest on them.
Treasury officials are unable to eX-
plain their attitude except on the
ground that they know that their
principal is safe in the federal treas
ury.
1t is estimated that nearly mil
lion dollars of this debt has been lost
or destroyed. This includes the out
standing issues from 1890 down
through the civil war loans made. In
the early days of the republic loans
were called stock" in the govern
ment. There is now outstanding
$27,870 of six per cent stock of
$780," $13,935 of the deferred six
per cent stock of 1885," $13,953 of
the three per cent stock Of 1890, ,"
Several hundred thousand dollars of
the civil war loans are outstanding.
The largest amount outstanding is
$SO0,350 of the call funded loan of
1907

Mr.. SHAW VISITS MOULTRIE
What Paper There Says of Recent
Candidate for Congress.


In noting a recent visit to that
town of Hon. E. R. Shaw the Moul-
trie Observer says:
He has just emerged from an in
tensely exciting close race for con-
gress in his district, where with an
uphill race before him, with all the
newspapers, politicians and bosses
opposing him, and against the over
whelming odds of wealth and infu-
ence, he was defeated by only seven
hundred votes, when nearly fifteen
thousand were polled.
''It has been announced that he
intends to revive his famous and Gel
ebrated paper, which he discontinued
in Fort Gaines, in Cordele, which is
the center of that congressional dis
trict, all with the aim of preparing
his candidacy for the next race for
congress. Emmett Shaw is not a
great statesman of Websterian cali
Der, rather he is a most shrewd and
subtle politician, man of policy, of
sagacity and prudence in mingling
with the common people.
HE has been the guest of Judge
Covington while here, and is at pres
ent a cigar drummer, selling some
remarkable little ten-cent cigars for
a nickel. "

FIGHT NOW SEEMS ENDED
NOTHING MORE EXPECTED OF

Nothing in 1t But Effort to Renew
Old fractional Fight. People Want
Few Changes in School Books.

Few Changes IN SchOol BOOKS.
ATLANTA.-It is now generally
believed that the declination of At
torney General Fielder to give an
opinion apon the request of Prof.
Jere NJ. Pound of the state normal
school at Athens as to the latter's
status on the state board of educa-
ton means practically an end of the
row that has been stirred up over it.
Prof. Pound has declined to be in
terviewed on the subject, but the
general opinion is that he will not go
to court in the effort to wrest the
place from DR.. G. r. Glenn of Dab
lOnega, to whom it was given by Gov
ernor Brown.
Report has it that considerable
pressure has been brought to bear to
induce Professor Pound to make this
fight, but that he is very much dis
inclined to do so and probably will
not.
Attorney General Folders reply to
the request for an opinion is regard
ed as a very wise one from political
standpoint. There is no use in con-
cealing the fact that the fight is al
most entirely a political one, inVolv-
ing the old HOke Smith and Joe
Brown lineup, and of course in dis
placing the Smith appointees Gov
ernor Brown has done an awful"
thing, from the Smith viewpoint.
Mr.. Fielder in refusing an opinion
except on the request of the govern
or, because it involves one of the
governors acts, steered directly be-
tween Scylla and Charybdis, and
seems to have come out clear. He
was eminently right, according to
the conservative view, and certainly
so from his own political standpoint.
1t is charged by some that the real
poin at issue is the coming school
book adoption for the public schools
of the state and which must be made
for a period of five years.
AS far as the general public is
concerned, it seems to feel that one
set of board members can adopt
about as good books as another.
What the people of the state as
rule would probably like most would
be as few changes as possible con-
sistent with progress in the books
which have been used for the last
five years. The fewer the changes
made the less will be the expense up
on the average family that has chill
dren in the schools.

CAN RAISE A CORN CROP
CONDITIONS EXAGGERATED IN
FLOOD AREA, M'KAY SAYS.
With Good Seed and Proper Cultivation
Corn Planted as Late as July Is
Will Make Good.

misunderstanding Of the corn plant
ing outlook for overlooked lands, j. F.
Mckay, field representative of the de-
partment OF farmers institutes OF tho
Agricultural and Mechanical College
faculty, made the following statement:
There is an idea prevailing among
many planters in the Mississippi delta
that a corn crop after the waters recede
from overlooked lands is not safe.
Statements are made that this is due
to insect pests. l have taken pains to
investigate this matter among various
farmers in the bottom lands and con
illusions reached from a number of in
quiries are that this is a tradition not
well founded on fact or experience. We
found that no one could speak from
their own experience that it was disas-
trous to plant late corn on these flood
lands, but the almost invariable reply
was that they made corn and in most
cases they made better yields.
There may be exceptional cases
where the insect damage is very great,
but the use of a few more seed, of
good, sound corn, and of rapid %cultiva-
ton, there is no doubt of splendid re-
suits and it is often attended with no
more hazard than an early spring crop
which they very often suffers heavily
from cut-worms and other insects.
ut would be extremely hazardous tt
attempt a late cotton crop under boil
weevil conditions, the corn proposition
being far more promising. All kinds O
feedstutfs and grain are high, ant
promise to remain so. Corn can be sue
cessfully planted as late as July 10 t,

weather warm, and growth would b

"As to variety, a good, native corr
or some sound seed corn from the Gel

At the time of his death Mr.. Howard
