For his Life of Lord Randolph Churchill the publishers paid Mir Win ston Churchill $40,000, a higher rate of payment than that made Lord Nor ley for his great Gladstone biography. For this MT. John Morley, as he then was, received S5O,000, but the book was nearly a third larger than MT. Churchill's, and took him a good two years to write. The Gladstone family, who commenced the work, are said to have already received $1S0,000 from it's sale, in addition to w4lch the profits of the publishers have to be added. MT. Kipling's book, "Captains Coura- geous," was written for a magazine at 25 cents a word, then record, but since often exceeded. Sir A. Conan Doyle has written stories which have brought him in 75 cents a word.

To Entertain Visitors.

MACON, Ga, Feb. 2S.-(Special)
"A big feature in the work of prepar-
alton for the coming Reunion is that
of the Ladies, and it is largely due
to their efforts that the campaign of
preparation is as far advanced this
early. Daily they have canvassed
houses seeking accommodations for the
thousands who will visit here, and it
is largely due to their ingenuity and
scheming that many of the successful
benefits for the Reunion fund have
been given. Already they are planning
round of social events for the visit
ing ladies who will accompany their
husbands and fathers, the Veterans,
and Macon will be veritable social
wbirl from May Z until May 9.
Nor is this activity on the part Of
the ladies confined to present times,
for during the war they we're always
the boulders upon which the weary,
the lame and the weak could lean.
Apropos OF this might be mentioned a
society which was formed in Macon
during the Civil War. This was
known as the Ladies' Soldiers Re-
lief Society, "and was organized with
tne following officers; Mrs. Washing
ton Poe, President; Mrs. Thomas
Hardeman, Vice President Miss M.
E. Bass, Secretary, and Miss Julia
Wrigley. Treasurer. The first public
was held May I, 1851.

RURAL MAIL ROUTES
How to Assist the Carriers to
Give Quicker Service.

Rural route carriers have often to
suffer from the carelessness of patrons.
The boxes are supposed to be SO sta
toned that carrier may put in or
take ont mail matter without losing
time, but there are many things which
hinder him in making the speedy de-
livery of mail matter which is desired
by the postoffice department.
For instance, sagging post gives a
mail carrier lots of trouble, for 1t fire..
quently leans opposite to the nearest
point the carriers buggy can reach.
and he has to lose time getting out of
his buggy to fill his dnties at that boz.
Another very simple thing is the
placing of the coin holder for stamps.
Most patrons place the holder way
back in the rear of the box, and the
carrier frequently has to shove his
arm in up to the shoulder to get hold
of the coins, The proper way is to
place the letter or letters in the front
Of the box and place the coin recepta-
Gle upon them. This is very simple
thing to do, but it saves carrier con-
siderable trouble. 't
Few people realize the hardships the
rural route carrier undergoes. In all
sorts of weather hot or cold, dry or
wet, he and his faithful horse have to
make weary miles of travel, and it is
not for one day or two days, but day
after day for week at time. There
fore favor him as much as you can.
1t is little things which make life
pleasant any way, and the mail car
rier can appreciate thoughtfulness on
the part of patrons as much as any
body. Moreover, like a we'll oiled
machine, if he can act expeditely in
performing his task, it means less
chance for error, and the probabilities
are that the patrons will get better
service.

good. This survey was made by some
promoters in Chattanooga, who did so
with intent to sell. This, however,
fell through, and nothing ever came
of 1t. This scheme was entirely diff

Iron Co.'S plan, which now appears to
be thorough examination of the
mineral resources of the tracts of land
offered them by means of careful test
drillings at various points on the prop

adjacent tracts, also, and the purchase
will be a large one, If the mineral
wealth is satisfactory. From outcrop-

contiguous operating companies, these

The Durham Coal & Iron Co. is tax
ing the preliminary steps toward open
ing the gigantic coal fields lying at
the head of Little Sequachee Cove.
This is the startling intelligence,
which has opened thrill of hope in
the hearts of the people of this Sec
tion, who have been waiting for years
for something to come their way, and
who have seen place after place taken
up and developed while nothing came
to the advancement of the interests of
this immediate section.
Two carloads of drilling machinery
were placed on the sidetrack at Whit
we'll last week, comprising two porta-
Bile boilers and engines, and drilling
apparatus for two drills, and 1t is the
intention of the Durham Coal & Iron
Co., whose property they are, to take
them to the Miller tract of land
twelve miles west of Whitwell, and
there drill into the depths of the
mountain to learn its innermost Sc
crets regarding black diamonds. A
special force of twelve experienced
drill men accompany the outfits, and
chemist is also accompanying them,
who will examine the cores as brought
to the surface, analyse them, and
make report as to the value of the
different veins penetrated. their
depth and workableness.
The company, we understand, has
in view the purchase of lalge tracts of
lands lying in the section between
Coalmont and Whitwell, extending to
Wills Ridge near Tatesville, and in
Guiding lands formerly owned by the
Sequachee Valley Saw Mill & Lumber
Co. These lands practically come to
a point at the junction of Peter Cave
Fork and Bryant Cove, and the super
intendent of the company is quoted as
saying when asked how be would get
the coal to market, that he would
bring it out via Sequachee.
In this event railroad will be built
connecting with the N, c. & st. L.
R'y here, and making this junction
point for the delivery of coal. 1t
would mean great deal to this
