VACANCY, Washington sco> in This Change, I With Concession to Old Guard, At tempt io Pacify New York, Washington, May 12,?Jacob Mc Qavock Dickinson of Tennessee, sec? retary of war, the Democratic mem ber of President Taft's cabinet, has resigned. Henry L. Btimson of New Y..rk. recently defeated Republican candidate for governor of that State, has been given the war portfolio. This announcement was .made at the White I lease tonight and occasioned great surprise. ? in letters exchanged between the president and Mr. Dickinson, no rea? son, other than that of" pressing pri? vate affairs, is given for the secre? tary's retirement.

Mr. Dick? inson will go to his Tennessee home immediately upon the qualification of his successor. lie expects to devote his attention to business and th,? practice of law, In which he was engaged when President Taft ap? pointed him secretary of war in March 1909. He Is the second mem? ber of Mr. Taft's cabinet to retire t > private life, R. A. Balllnger, secre? tary of the interior, having severed his c ?nnectlon with the president's ofll ( lal family only a few months ago. Coincident With the announcement of Mr. Dickinson's retirement cam ? that of the appointment of C. S. Milllngton of Herkimer, N. Y., to be assistant treasurer of the United Slates at New York. ? Mr. Btimson was the Roosevelt can? didate for governor, while Mr. Mil llngton was a former member of the house from Twenty-seventh New York district, and is a (lose friend of Vice President Sherman and other leaders of the Old Guard in the State, having succeeded Mr. Sherman In the house when the latter became vice president. In the two appointments official Washington found food for specula? tion, and many politicians thought they saw the first step of the adminis I tratton to straighten out the tangled skein of New York politics. No effort was made bv tin president tq conceal the satisfaction with which he views the appointment of Mr Btimson. Not only has he ihr highest personal re? gard for the incoming member of his Cabinet, but he is well aware that the appointment will be acceptable to a large faction of the Republican party in New York. While the selection of Mr. Stimson was made after only a few days' con? sideration, Senator Root and other leaders wa re consulted and gave it unqualified approavl. Former Presi? dent Roosevelt was not called into conference, but there Is no question but that he must approve the naming to suc h an Important post of a man for whom he worked tooth and nail in the recent governorship campaign. The position of assistant treasurer at New York, which has been given to the Sherman-Barnes-Woodruff fac? tion, is believed here to be a move in tin- direction of peace thai will count for much In the future. Priendi of the president were pleased tonight over the political outlook. Poley Kidney Fills are a true medi? cine, Tin y are healing, strengthening, antiseptic and tonic. They net quick? ly. \v. \v.

The sale of the Bowman place Wednesday at Dalsell marks the third Btep in some surprising Increases in the pric< <u real estate in this coun? ty. The figures may be duplicated elsewhere, hut there are few other places In this State that could boas! of the same record or one as good. The plaee which was the old "Jen? nings plantation" before the war, had in it 1,035 acres of land, part of Which had never been cleared and part of which was, and still is a swamp. A great part was old field and had not been cultivated since the war. Most of the pleace was farmed by negroes, who iald little rent on the small acreage that they planted, who cared no'.hing about building up the land and did not try to do so and In most cases would not have known how, even if they had tried. Most of them moved from one place to another every year or so and on these conditions the owner of the land did not try to huild them good tenement houses or to better their condition in any way. This was the condition of the place, about 1800 when it was purchased from Mr. s. O. spann, the owner, by Messrs. J. i*. Booth, Ii. J. Harby and W. A. Bow? man. The land could hardly have been in a worse condition than it was In and everybody predicted failure for the purchasers. Tin- purchasers, however, went ahead and set to work to show what could be done on a run down farm such as they had acquired. Th< y had bought the 1,035 acres at a value of $12 per acre. making a total of $12.120. in the next few years the farm was put through a course of farming that it had never known he fore and an amount of corn and cot? ton was produced on ont acre that had seemed Impossible when the place was bought and was incredl able to many who heard about it. Mr. Booth did not hohl his one-third share long. At the end of the third or fourth year he sold it out to the other parties in the deal at $1C per acre, having made fair profits on the place while an owner and selling out with a good per cent of profit. Al? ter Mr. Booth sold out Mr. Harby fol? lowed suit four months later, selling his share at $20 per acre, and con? sequently making a larger profit than Mr. BOOth did Wednesday the same land was sold at auction ti) parties from the mih neighborhood and from surrounding places at an average of more than $90 per acre. The sale was one of the biggest successes that has ever been conducted in the county and there was no lack of buyers for all of the land that was put up for sale. Onty 631 acres were sold, but this amount brought <n more than enough to quadruple the amount paid for the land some eleven year? before. Whether the price that the land brought Is its real value or v. hether it Is an artificial value re? mains to be seen and the next decade will show conclusively whether the purchasers of Wednesday were suc? cessful real estate dealers and farm? ers or simply parties to rush into a deal without having first well con? sidered the cost.
