AMERICANSINPORTE
ARE IN NO DANGER
Pera, Foreign Section Of City, sepa-
rated from Main Section of
Constantinople.

There are many in Washington society
who. since the tide OF war turned against
the Turks and the Mosiems started IN
their retreat to Constantinopie, who have
felt grave concern for American friends
in that city. The American Ambassador
and Mrs. RockhilI, nee Miss Edith Per-
kins, OF Litchfeld. Conn; Hoffman Phil
lips. Mr.. and Mrs. Charles w. Fowie,
9. Cornell Tarler. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
A Leavitt. and Mai. John r. N. Taylor,
.. 3. A, are well known In Washington.
and there are many other Americans in
and out of the United States service who
would be in peril should the predicted
massacres take place in Constantinople.
Several United States warshlps. with
numbers of foreign ships, have been or
dered TO Turkish waters for the protse-
ton Of foreigners, but even with this
protection IT Is 2 matter OF congratula-
ton with those who have friends and
relatives at the Porte that the topogra-
ply of Pera and Galata, the two sections
of the city settled by foreigners, makes
them defensIble
Between the foreign section Of the city
and the retreating troops lies the Golden
Horn with its two bridges. which. those
familiar with the city point out, IL well
defended, would make the residences Of

Three Parts OF City.
Constantinople is divided into three
parts-Galata, which includes Psra, and.
as has been said. is the foreign quarter;
Stamboul, the Turkish section Of Eu-
ropean Constantinople, and Scutari, the
Asiatic quarter.
In Stamboul is located the palace Of
the Sultan. a small city in itself. and
underneath the whole section lie the
vast labyrinthine Greek cisterns, whose
shafts have often been used
as a refuge in siege.
In the center OF the section OF Galata
Is the old fortified tower. built many
years ago. and near It the tram, which
hoists its passengers to Pera, above.
This, section IS the site OF the legations
and embassies. II has its cafes, hotels, |
club houses, hospitals. and parks.
On the most imposing site in Pera
stands the Embassy of Great Britain. |
and not far distant is that of the United
States. while the official homes of
Sweden, Russia, France, and Austria are |
down the hill toward Galata. 81
Scutari, the Asiatic section. lies oppo- |
site Stamboul across the Bosphorus, |
and In the Sea of Marmora are the |
Islands of the Princess, the sites OF
beautiful summer villas.

Second District Member Introduces
Bill in Congress Asking Repay
ment of Cotton Tax,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS S..
A. Roddenbery of Georgia introduced
a bill requiring the treasurer of the

amounts of the unlawful cotton tax
collected from the people of the
South during the civil war by the
federal government to the rightful
claimants or their heirs.
This bill specifies that after such
payments shall have been made any
sums remaining in the hands of the
several states for two years shall be
distributed as follows: One-third to
a confederate veterans home, one
third to general pension fund for
soldiers and widows Of confederate
soldiers and the remaining third to
the public school fund of the sew
eTal states.
Georgia alone, if this bill passes,
would receive more than $11,000,-
900.

EXPECT PRICES TO GO HIGHER
Various Products of the Food Mar
ket Are a Heavy Tax on the Fam
iIY Purse just Now

Butter and eggs continue as the
disturbing features in the Dawson
food market.
Indications are, according to the
grocerymen, that butter and eggs
will stand out in the quotations for
some time to come. Further ad-
yances are expected any day. The
best stock of butter now is selling
for As cents a pound. Tub butter
costs anywhere from 80 to 40 cents
a pound. Fresh country eggs are
listed at Is cents a dozen.
Ham and breakfast bacon are rea-
sonabIe, considering the prices other
foodstuffs are bringing. Ham prices
are ranging around 20 cents a
pound, and breakfast bacon around
%. White meat is almost as costly
as ham and bacon.
Some of the grOcers are giving as
much as 10 pounds of sugar for 81
The price of sugar is gradually cas-
ing off, and it won't be long while
one dealer said, before the price will
be back to normal Canned goods
are high, particularly canned tOma-
toes and peas. Twenty cents a can
is the quotation for these.

He Can Be Charged With Is Rob-
bling Express Companies.


acknowledgements Slaton had
an interesting interview with "Old
Bill" Minor, the famous train-rob-
ber at the state prison farm at Mil
ledgeville.
He found the old heavily shavily
shackled, for after his first escape
the authorities decided to take his
own advice and never trust pris-
oner, so far, at least, as he is con-
cerned
The grizzled old bandit recognized
Governor SlatOn and seemed glad of
an opportunity for a little conversa-
ton. He talked to him as man to
man, and it is safe to say both were
interested.
Il want you to know, Governor,
said the old fellow in his quiet, care
fully mOdulated voice, ''that | have
never done an unlawful thing in my
life except hold up trains and rob
express companies.
so far as | know, l have never
done an individual an injustice or
any harm. | have my own ideas of
right and wrong, and when the ex-
press companies and railroads are
robbing the public all the time of
millions l don't think it is unfair
for me to get little of it back oc-
casionally, particularly when I take
, my chances at it in a fair game.
The governor did not enter into
any argument with Miner, but did
suggest in friendly way that it was
pity man of Minors evident good
sense and ability hadn't turned his
energies toward something a little
bit more conventional than train
rObbing.

THE WEBSTER STEWART LINE
A DISPUTE BETWEEN COUNTIES
MAKES A KNOTTY PROBLEM.
Webster Was Formed in 1853, and
No Official Survey at That Time
Has Caused the Middle.


Has Caused the MIDDLE.
Secretary OF State Cook has a very
knotty problem to decide in adjudi-
eating the dispute between Webster
and Stewart counties over a land
line.
Webster county was carved out of
Stewart in 1853, and the lines of
the new county were laid very much
as all new county lines are laid now,
simply through certain descriptions
of land lines, no official survey hav-
ing been taken.
From that time up to about a
year ago a tier of certain land lots
have been recognized as being in
Webster county, the citizens owning
them paying taxes in Webster and
voting in that county. AS a further
evidence of Webster's claims it is
pointed out that in 1854, one year
after Webster was created, a special
act was passed by the Legislature
taking two Of the lots along this tier
and putting them back in Stewart,
the owners asking it. But finally
the Georgia, Florida and Alabama
railroad was built through that.
section and it ran along this particu-
lar tier of land lots. Both Webster
and Stewart county wanted the rail
road and naturally the nice slice of
taxes that it paid. Thereupon Stew
art put in a claim for the lots, and
under authorization of an act of
1899 the governor named and At
lanta surveyor to go down and sur
vey the line Charles Roberts of
Atlanta was appointed, and he rem
deTed a decision favorable to Stew
art county.
But Webster did not propose TO let
valuable property slip out of its
hands so easily, especially as its
right to the same had gone without
dispute or question for nearly so
years. So the case was brought to
the secretary of state, who is the
final arbiter in such matters. There
was hearing in his office, with both
counties well represented, which
lasted practically an entire day.
Now Secretary Of State Phil Cook
is studying old records and court de-
cisions by the CARLOAD trying to ar
rive at a just and equitable decision
One legal phase of it he has put up
to the attorney general for an opin-
ion, and his decision as to the line
viii be rendered during the week
Secretary Cook says that this kind
Of dispute as regards land lines is
likely to arise in the future in the
nine new counties created in Georgia
within recent years. No official sur
vey of any Of them has ever been
made, and certain marks are recog-
nized as the lines. In later years,
when many have forgotten these
lines, disputes are likely to arise
bringing just as serious cOmplica-
tons as the secretary is now wrest-
ling with in the Webster-Stewart
matter.

MANY BALES LEFT IN FIELDS |

COTTON HASN'T BEEN PICKED.

izer. Crop Largest Known.
A considerable number Of the
farmers of Terrell county have not
finished gathering their last years
cotton crop, and much of it will not
be gathered, but will be plowed III
The past year was one of plenty in
the cotton fields, and the crop was
the largest ever made
The early fall was ideal for gath
ering the crop, which opened quite
rapidly. The pickers could not keep
up with it, and as the price dropped
they were more reluctant to gather
it. Consequently when the rainy
season began there was much left
unpicked, and the weather for the
past two months has been such that
it could not be gathered.
In some parts of the county there
are fields from which not a single
lock has been picked since the crop
began maturing, and this will prove
a complete loss, as the damage by
rain is so great that the fiber is al
most worthless, at least will not pay
pay for the picking on account of the
low price. On one plantation the
cotton on about 100 acres from
which lock had not been picked
was completely covered with water
at one time.
This is probably the first time on
record in this section of the cotton
belt where the entire crop has not
been gathered, but similar condi-
tions often prevail in the rich prai-
RE bottoms Of Texas.
The seed left in the fields will be
Of some value as fertilizer, but 9TH
erwise good portion of last years
cotton crop will be a complete loss.
