AMERICUS FAMILY
HEIRS To VERY
VALUABLE LANDS
OIL WELLS IN LOUISIANA
Bought By Caldwell Family
Many Years Ago

Some time ago the Misses Caldwell,
of Americas, were appraised of the fact
that they were heirs to very valuable
oil lands located near Shreveport, La.
The lands had been purchased by their
father many years ago and while al
most forgotten the heirs still have a
valid title to these lands.
Since having been apprised of their
good fortune, Miss Nan Caldwell went
to Shreveport and ascertained that
| the family claim to the land was still
good, as shown by the records. Sew
eral offers for the land were ,-.ade by
interested parties, but declined by the
heirs to the estate.
The Misses Caldwell are now pre-
pairing to acquire more fully the land
upon which oil has been found in guam
titles, and their legal representative
will leave Americas on Tuesday for
Shreveport to present their formal
claim thereto. The value of the land
is not yet given, but is said to be very
considerable.
While the area is not large, probably
less than fifty or hundred acres, the
oil deposits upon it represent a snug
fortune

TURKS DEFIANT
SAY They have
100000 TROOPS
MAY REFUSE ANY Terms
Of Bulgaria Unless in Turks
Favor

London, Nov 23.-Nothing has de-
veloped within the last "a hours to
show whether the Turks will find the
proposed notifications in the terms
offered by the allied Balkan nations
sufficient to induce them to agree to
an armistice preparatory to a definite
peace.
The plenipotentiaries now on their
way to Tchatalja on behalf of the al
lies, are reported to be carrying with
them fresh terms of peace in form
that may open the door which is still
regarded as standing ajar for their
reception. The Ottoman government
points out that it still has half mil
lion soldiers to draw from while the
Bulgarians have none The allied Bal
kan nations, however, retort that they
are now in position to march $4,000
troops, who have been engaged else
where, to swell the besieging force in
front of Tchatalj&.
Should the war be continued, it is
assumed in military circles that an at
tack will soon be opened on the
forts along the Dardanelles, whose fall
would permit the Greek fleet to bonn
bard the Turkish capital Meantime, a
nerve-racking stream of rumors con-
tinue to pour out from Vienna of the
mobilization of Austrian and Russian
troops and to these rumors is added
one from Prague which says five Ger
man army corps have called up their
reservists. These rumors accord bad
ly with Premier Asffuith's statement
last night as to the prevailing harmo-
ny among the European powers
Official denials quickly follow each
story of the calling up of reservists
by the various armies, but the de-
malls fail to dissipate the general
anxiety as to the situation.

Might it not be so in this case?
THE agitation of the women in a
number of cities, in Georgia as well as
in other states, for representation
along this line, will eventually tri-
umph. They may be shut out for a

When mothers demand the right to be
active factors in the supervision of
the schools to which their children go
for many years, in the period when
their characters are being formed and
their lives laid out TO them, in a
sense, you may rest assured they will
not be long denied it, And as for me,
do not see any reason why they
should be denied it when there comes
spontaneous expression of such a
natural desire on their part"

firm at an advance of IL to Is points
making new high records for the sea-
son. Firm Liverpool cables, bullish
trade advices, prospects for continued
heavy exports, reports for continued
spinners' demand and further reports
OF rapid decrease in ginning seemed
to account for the opening advance.
The new high record attracted heavy

STATE DEFICIT
IS S2,5OO,OO0
Action fthe Board Of Equalization
Last Year lnsures Funds.

Old state warrants totaling more
than $2.00O,000 will be funded at once
by the state, following the receipt
Thursday, Of report on the outstand-
ing warrants for the last fiscal year
submitted to Governor Cruce by the
state examiner and inspectors office
The report shows that on March /
there was outstanding of the general
revenue warrants for the past fiscal
year the sum OF S2.192, ,S44.27. Since
the close of the year there have been
issued against the 1901 appropria.
tions warrants of series f totaling
$459, 9,522.31, making the aggregate So.
652,S665S. As against this sum the
report showed balance of 81, ,166,042
SO. This would leave to be funded the
sum of $1;4S6, ,323.59.
The total amount of the deficit is
more than $2,5OO,OOO but only the de
ficit for the last year will be funded
at the present, while the balance will
be taken care of when the report is
completed. The deficit was created
by reason of the fact that the last
board of equalization laid a levy of
but l 4 mills for general revenue pur-
poses on valuation of more than
S400, 100000 less than it is at present
and the funds thus raised were made
quate. The present board increased
the valuation of property 100000, 600
and laid levy of IL mills on this in.
creased valuation, thereby insuring
sufficient revenues for all purposes.
The work of funding the old deficit
was left in the hands of Governor
Cruce, State Treasurer Dunlop and
Secretary of State Harrison, who are
proceeding under the advice of Attor-
ney General West. A report of the
outstanding warrants issued prior to
the last fiscal year will be submitted
later by the examiner and inspectors
office.
Tne report shows that there was a
difference Of but $3OS.27 in the regis
tration of warrants by the state treas
urer and the reports of the auditors
Offices. and these are mainly clerical
errors. Warrants totaling $5,740.09
were erroneously registered in the
treasurer's Office, as outstanding and
unpaid and drawn against the general
revenue funds, whereas they had been
drawn against the public building
fund.

brought in that gives the snay to the

Sad or merry pathetic or humorous,

The pure, good moral tone of the
plays is another point strong in their
favor. A good life lesson is taught
in each play. and as said before in
these columns. these lessons are not
preached TO the audience but played
out in such a way that each and every
