FRENCH COLONY is PROLIFIC

interested In the increasing shortage
In births in France, has found a pro.

die, near Dunkirk. says an exchange.
This Is colony founded more than
200 years ago by Louis XIV. with a
system Of land tenure which does
not permit private ownership of the
soil. Doctor Grotjahn says:
THE men of Mardc marry. on an
average, at twenty-four years of age,
Immediately after having passed the
obligatory service in the navy. When
a new family has thus been founded
1t receives for exclusive use. but not
as private property, plot Of land of
~ acres and section Of shore for
net fishing, The families
may leave to their children the land
handed to them in usufruct, but they
may not divide or mortgage it. The
result is that Marble possesses a
prosperous population, free of material
cares, which does not rack its brain
on behalf of its chndren's fate, while
the rest OF the peasants and fisher.
men OF France are particularly anxi-
Gus in this respect. The births
amounted to 43 per 1000 Of the in.
haoitants, figure which is not sur.
passed by any civilized people"

He picked up the list. Henry Couso'
ESQ.," he said to himself. "Couse, en-.
Country name that Derived probably
from Cows Henry Couse. Hens and
Cows, Ell? Not bad. All right Mr..
Couse. You'd better-ah, let me see;
which half is this. Let's see, | mailed
those others. What did | tell EN-,
anyway"
Henry Couse, up in the Plains
store. was quite unaware by what a
slender thread his fate was hanging.
Mr.. Atkinson's memory usually was
good, but it had been impaired on this
, occasion by the stretching process.
The first lot, said Mr.. Atkinson,
why, | told EN- to buy-that's sure.
Then this half must sell. All right
for you, you can sell, Henry Couse, OF
Frankfort Plains,
The next day Henry Couse received
plain white enSelop with an un-
signed slip inside of it, This is what
it said Sell Univ, Con. Am. Met
Con. and do it right away"
Mr.. Couse sold. Everybody knows
now what happened In the next
three days the battle royal between
the American Iron Concern and "Uca
Mick took place Everybody remem-
bers the crisis when "Uca Mick"
which had been 10, disappeared from
sight and reappeared again at Is. II
was crash among crashes. Henry
Couse contemplated it with discom'
future. Geo." he said to himself, for
he was not an adept in the mysteries
Of Wall street, gee, but I'm blamed
idiot Here I've been dabbling in U.
c. A. and the whole bottom has fallen
out of the blamed thing. Serves me
right. I'll never do it again"
The next day he received check
from his brokers for $4,000 on &C
count. That was not all, they said
there was little more to come. For
Henry Couse had not understood the
import of sale as distinguished from
a purchase. He had sold at a high
price, and delivered at low price;
and the difference belonged to him.
Mr.. Atkinson had stretched his legs
that day to come purpose, for, through
his slip of memory, every customer
had sold "Uca Nick on margin and
every one had won. He does larger
business than ever, and perhaps it IS
just as well for folks to lose through
him as in any ether way. Mr. Henry
Couse did not go to see Miss Sally
Mannering on the evening that he got
the check. He was too much aston
ished; he had to sit up half the night
and look at the check steadily for
hours.
The next morning he went around,
however.
He wanted to strike while the iron
was hot.
Sally" he said, 1--WE bought 81
Hopkins house and came around to
sees if I-could-put-the -title-in-
your name.
Miss Sally Mannering thought he
was crazy. But he was rational
enough. For he sat himself at her
side and put his arm around her waist
and finally he kissed her. And that's
no sign of lunacy. Finally he pulled
a roll of bills from his pocket. SAL
ly," he said, 81 want you to take these
and keep them for me-for us. I'm
never, never going to speculate any
more. Never I'm through. Besides"
he added, Il own some real estate and |
I'm going to marry you, and that's |
lottery enough for any man."
Whereupon Miss Sally boxed his |
ears. And Henry Couse-he Just |
laughed and let her do it.

SAVANNAH MINISTER
TO END BACHEIORHOOD
Goes to asst South Georgia Conference
as An Unmarried Preacher.
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

SAVANNAH, Nov. REV. H. T.
Freeman, pastor of Asbury Metho-
dist church, who has served his al
lotted four years in that capacity, is
going to attend his last annual South
Georgia conference as a bachelor. He
will go to conference unmarried, but
will be fit subject for congratula-
tons from his fellow ministers, be-
cause on the Sd of December he is to
be married in Savannah to Miss Ne
da Rumph, very prepossessing
young lady, who is among the mem
bers of the church he now serves.
Mr.. Freeman has proven very
popular minister in Savannah, and
while it is to be regretted that he
must under the laws of his church,
leave this city to take up work else
where it is very gratifying to his
friends to know that he is to be ac-
companied on his new work by SO
charming a representative of the
Forest City as is Miss Rumph. The
details of the wedding are not as yet
entirely arranged, but it is expected
the ceremony will take place in the
church which the pastor has served
so faithfully.

OFFERING BALES
WITHOUT Finding
WILLING TAKERS

Even the coming of the circus today
failed utterly to bring crumb of COM
fort to the man who fain would part
with bale of the fleecy that he might
view the elephant and test the quality
of a quaff of pink lemonade, always
permissible under any circumstances
in the glad harvest season. The ware
housemen reported little demand for
cotton, and the few sales effected were
of the poorer grades at prices around
5 IL cents. There has been no mark
ed improvement in market conditions
here recently, and the expected halo of
advancing values is but an irridescent
dream. Probably 600 or 800 bales
were marketed in Americas today and
are added, very largely, to the stock
of 10000 bales already stored away
in local warehouses.

GINNING PLANT
DESTROYED With
COMPLETE OUTFIT

Mr.. E. Lynn Bell, of Americas sus-
tanned a loss of $4,000 to $4,000 last
night in the complete destruction of
his extensive and modern cotton gin
ming plant on his Lee county planta-
ton at Adams Station The fire was
discovered at $50 o'clock, having orig
mated in the large seed house, but
whether by accident or incendiary
torch has not been fully determined.
From the seed storage house the
flames spread quickly to the extensive
ginning plant and fertilizer storage
department and all three buildings
were reduced to ashes.
The ginning plant was one of the
most modern and complete in south
Georgia, the buildings and outfit cost
ing, perhaps, $4,000. Besides the
three buildings, Mr. Bell lost the cot
tonseed from sixty or seventy bles,
besides three baler cotton packed and
ready for market. A wagon and one
bale cotton belonging to Mr.. Lee G.
Childers, was burned as we'll.
Mr.. Bell had insurance of about
$4,000, which is only very small por-
ton Of the heavy loss sustained.
