Big Yield of Cotton.

Mr.. j. E.. Latham of BuIlock's
Creek Township. who was in
Yorkville Wednesday, said that
he had already gotten 10 bales
of cotton, averaging 500 pounds
each, off of that three and one
half acres, mention of which
was made in The Enquirer
several weeks ago. Mr.. Latham
did not expect to get more than
nine bales at most off the three
and. a halfiacre field. He has
not yet gone over the field for

Stole | l,241 Pennies.

The post office of Stonesboro
in Lancaster county was broken
into few nights ago and robbed
of $27. Al by Dunbar Havins. a
negro boy about 16 years of age.
When on Thursday the fact of
the theft became known, Sheriff
Hunter went to Stoneboro and
soon obtained from the negro
youth upon whom suspicion
seemed to attach a full confession
of his guilt. The boy stated
that he gained entrance to the
building by putting his hand
through the ''cat hole" at the
bottom of the door and with a
stick pushed up the bar which
fastened the door. A part of
$27.41 taken by the boy were
1,241 pennies.

pected. During the past several years
the bureau OF plant industry has been
making a study Of poisonous plants and
Of antidotes. In the case OF larkspur,
for example, the bureau has deter
mined methods Of treatment which are
reasonably successful, under normal
conditions. The only difficulty has
been that the animals suffering from
poison are generally out upon the open
range and may not be observed by
their owner until it is too late to apply
an antidote. The forest service has
therefore arranged to meet this situa-
ton in an experimental way by equip
ping a limited number of rangers with
syringes and the necessary
chemicals. Armed with this equip
ment a forest officer can in a few
moments administer a treatment which
may save a $40 steer.

VALUABLE DEEDS
DISCOVERED IN
OLD TRUNK
Odd Recovery May Settle Govern
ment Suit Involving One Thou
sand Acres in North Georgia.

Accidental finding OF the contents
of an old trunk left in a warehouse
of Colonel John j. Woodsde may
make clear the title Of Hal H. Bacon,
of Savannah, to 1000 acres of North
Georgia land and decide the status of
ownership of a vast area in that part
of the state.
Seldom has coincidence played such
an important part in a case as in the
suit by Mr., Bacon against the United
Staten Government to gain what he
claims is his property, in progress
before Judge w. T. Newman in the
Federal Building.
Mr. Bacon set forth a claim that
in the tract Of $4,000 acres put aside
by the Government to protect the
source of certain streams there was
something like 1000 to which he held
a deed. That claim developed an
interesting history of a State grant.
Deeds Date Back to 1847.
1t was that in 1S47 the State Of
Georgia granted to l.. F, Harris and
NJ. B. Millen 10000 acres. A good
part of that property finally came
into the possession of NJ. Bacon. In
the progress of the case, though, it
proved very difficult to prove some
of these titles and evidence was pre-
scented to show that a number of them
had been destroyed in a fire in New
York
About FIVE years ago, Loring r. Mil
len placed an old trunk in the ware
house of Colonel John ]. Woodside in
Atlanta. Soon after he disappeared,
and the trunk lay undisturbed until
last fall when Colonel Woodsde pre-
pared to sell it for storage along with
lot of other unclaimed gooGs.
Owner Died Last Year.
He had traced the owner and found
that he had died last November. Be
fore auctioning off the trunk, how
ever, he decided to look into it. There
he found the boots and clothes and
full outfit of a prospector. and in one
corner stuck together with beeswax
some interesting old Georgia land
grants. He did not sell it.
Colonel Woodside was on the jury
in the Federal Court Tuesday and
heard the discussion of the lost rec
ords. 1t revived the memory OF the
strange old trunk.
ATTORNEY John K. Macdonald, Jr.. of
the firm of Dorsey, Brewster, Howell.
and Heyman, was instructed by Judge
Newman to examine the contents. lie
did, and found grants and records
that may prove very important.
The trunk and its contents will
be turned over to the family of Lor-
ing Millen.

LONDON, Jan. 21.-Widespread
grief was expressed IN official circles
to- day over the death of Lord Strath-

Commissioner for Canada. who died
in his London home early this morn
ing.
While the medical diagnosis was
senile weakness aggravated by ca
tarrh, relatives and friends of the late
financier were sure that his death had
been FASTENED by sorrow over the
demise of Lady Strathcona, who died
on November IL last. So devoted
were the couple, Lord Strathcona,
being "a and his wife So, that their
friends called them Darby and Joan"
Hundreds of messages of coincidence
were received to-day from all parts
of the world, but particularly from
Canada, where Lord Stra thcona was
known as THE Grand Old Man of
the North
Among the sympathetic messages
received by the Hon. Mrs. Howard,
daughter of Lord Strathcona, was one
from the Duke of Connaught, Gov

Will Fight for Amendment.
The attitude of number OF mem
bers OF Council who are not rated as
Woodward supporters fails to re-
veal the same spirit at present, how
ever. They are working determln-
eddy on a plan to amend the budget,
and the indications are they have a
good chance of succeeding. AS stated
In The Georgian Tuesday the prin

appropriation for the fire alarm sys

Councilman George II. Boynton.
What is the use of setting this much
money aside to lie in bank when it
is so badly needed for other pur-
poses?"
Since Chairman w G. Humphrey,
Of the Finance Committee, has taken
the defiant attitude of insisting that
the budget be passed without an
amendment a bitter fight is lmmi-
nent. caucus of the opposition is

those participating will make their
