pany Is the Plaintiff.

acknowledgements were be-
gun today in the United States dis
trict court here in the suit of the
Capitol Freehold Land and Invest
ment Company of London, England,
against the estate of John V. Farwell
to recover interests in Texas land and
cattle valued at 100000.
One of the attorneys explained that
100000 acres were given to Mr..
Farwell and two associates, also dead,
as compensation for building the
Texas capitol. They later sold the
land to the company and Mr.. Farwell
leased it for a term of 10 years,
which ended Jan. I, 1908. He died
the following August and his estate
refused to turn over 10000 cattle
on the land, asserting that improve
ment in the stock and increase in
numbers from $1,000 was to accrue
to the benefit of the tenant.

MORE MONEY TO SPEND
AMERICANS WILL LET GO MORE
CASH THAN ANY HOLIDAY
SEASON SINCE 1906.

NEW YORK.-Merchant here say
that Americans have more money to
spend for Christmas shopping this
year than in any holiday season since
the Christmas of 1906 The big
stores are preparing for a record
trade during December and whole
sale houses are unable to fill orders
in many lines. This is attributed to
rush of buyers from other cities
to replenish depleted stocks.
L. S. PeIz, secretary of the whole
sale and retail merchants associa-
tions said today that the merchants
of New York have never known bet
ter times. People who did not have
money to spend a year ago have it
now and have opened their purses. >"
said Mr.. Pelz. The business which
has come to America because of the
war has put dollars in the pockets
of the average man. but l do not be-
lieve this prosperity is dependent up
on the war. If the war ended next
month there would still be prosper
ity here.
The wholesale houses of New
York have all the business they can
attend to. Orders are pouring in
from the west, where merchants have
been buying very little in the last
year and even up to few months
ago, fearing to trust the permanency
of the new prosperity. The banks
are begging business men to draw
money. The country has money
that is the sole explanation of the
prosperity

is Milling in winter.
Down where the red line Of Britain
is working its way up through MesO-
potamia, in the land where the Gar
den of Eden is by common consent
located, there is a very trying eli
mate.
The heat is terrific in the summer
time 1t is claimed that the British
government has a record of 159 de-
grees in the shade upon the bridge
of a boat anchored in the river at
Bursch. The missionaries at Bursch
tell of nights when the thermometer
registers not less than 125 degrees
British sailors bound for the Persian
gulf in the summer time usually de-
sert if they can.
Perhaps in Arizona the thermome-
ter rises nearly as high; but there
the air is dry. while in the Persian
Gulf it is exceedingly moist. The
Europeans at Bursch must pass the
days in underground chambers or
serdaubs, while a native boy pulls a
huge fan suspended from the ceiling
to keep the air circulating. The
NIGHTS are spent IN the roof, for it
is impossible to sleep below. In the
winter time the air seems exceed
ingly cold, for the marshes are filled
with salt; and as the wind sweeps
over the plain the moist salt air is
peculiarly penetrating. Frequently
the Arab, benumbed by the cold, falls
from his horse.

EDITOR ANDERSON AWARDS
SELF SWEET POTATO PRIZE
Georgia Pencil Pushers Unable to
Beat the Telegraph Man.

APSstN WV Pm
MACON, Ga.-The sweet potato
contest inaugurated in the spring by
w. T. Anderson, of the Macon Tele-
graph, in which he challenged all of
the members of the Georgia press to
prove their right to discuss farming
and agriculture by beating him Srow-
ing sweet potatoes, has come to a
close, and Mr.. Anderson has awarded
himself his prize of $50 in cash for
the largest yield on an acre.
His acre produced 1913 bushels. 1t
cost him $142.2O. The potatoes were
of the Triumph variety. They were
fertiliZed with / 1000 pounds of acid
500 pounds of cottOnseed meal and
400 pounds of muriate of potash. The
potatoes were measured in q bushel
measure, and each buShel was leyeled
in the same way that potatoes are
sold to a customer. The potatoes are
all smooth and sweet, and since be
coming thoroughly ripe are very fine
quality. They have been banked in
the old-fashioned way, it being Mr..
Anderson's intention to sell them in
the spring, when there are fewer of
them in the market and prices have
improved.

GOOSE LAYS GOLDEN EGG,
HAD DINED ON sign PAINT
OWNER, WITH SHOWMAN'S IN
STINCT, SEES SNUG FORTUNE
IN THE COMBINATION.

BIGELOW, Ark.-Recently Jas.
B. Sagwell, a chicken fancier living
here, had the good fortune to locate
in a goose nest on his place an egg
with a golden shell. The proyerbial
goose might have laid her egg a lit
tie earlier in history, but the one
owned by Sagwell has produced one
in the twentieth century, proving
again that history repeats.
Sagwell exhibited the egg and had
the community around pretty enthu-
siastic about it and the goose that
laid it, before he offered an explana-
ton. One of the neighbors then be-
came so enthusiastic that he offered
fiattering sum for the big Emden
goose, remarking that he might reap
a snug fortune by exhibiting her
throughout the country. The neigh
boris offer will probably be accepted.
Sagwell is also a fancy sign paint
er, and one morning he was on the
lawn near his home working on a
sign, using gold enamel. Accidental
ly he had failed to bring from the
house a cloth or his brushes. He
had set his paint on the grass, and
as he returned he saw the goose
greedily eating the contents of the
gold enamel can. He thought no
more of the incident, other than to
give the goose a good fright for her
greediness, until he found the egg
in the nest.
The painters explanation is that a
quantity of the gold was taken into
the goose's oviduct and became part
of the shell in it's formation. He is
very much pleased with the loss of
the gold enamel.

IN THREE
EUROPEAN ARMIES
COUPLE IN SAVANNAH SEEKING
4 HOME. BITTER AGAINST
THE WARNING NATIONS.
PEOPLE DO NOT WANT WAR

Say the War Is a Fight Between the
German and English Kings, and
Many of the Soldiers Do Not Know
What They Are Fighting For.
SAVANNAH, Ga.-With relatives
in three armies-the British, the
German and the Russian-and sew
eral oft hem having already been re-
ported killed Mr.. and Mrs. William
Malchow, of Baltimore, who are in
Savannah seeking a desirable loca-
ton for home, feel very bitter to-
ward the rulers of all three coun-
tries.
Mrs. Malchow's mother was an
English woman, her father a German
and her husband is a RussO-German
with relatives in both Russia and
Germany. Both have Travelled ex-
tensively and are conversant with
conditions in the three countries in
which they have relatives.
Germans Do Not Lack Bread.
1T is nonsense to say that the Ger
mans lack bread, Mrs. MalchOw
said, for in letters that we have re-
ceived recently from our people there
they say that they have had the lar
gest harvest in many years, and while
there is none to waste there is
enough for everybody. And the
Germans do not desire this war.
Many of the poor boys do not know
what they are fighting about. They
are conscripted, drilled and then sent
to the front With instructions that
they are to obey every order of their
commander, for the safety of their
country depends upon it. They know
no better.
Not So Popular in England.
In England it is not so. The war
is not so popular there either and
the people know that it is not their
fight, but a fight between the King
of England and the Kaiser. They are
allowed more freedom of speech and
thought and they know more of the
causes Of the war than do the peO-
pie of Germany; for they are able
to read the newspapers with foreign
news in them. But they prevent the
German news from coming through.
Their censors will not permit of it.
and consequently the great mass of
the American people do not know of
the real conditions in Germany. They
speak of a famine. 1t is laughable.'
She declares the war to be terrible
for those who have relatives and
friends there, and compares it to the
war between the states, in which
brother was arrayed against brother.
