These lots can be purchased at from £10 to £100, and by holding them for from one to five years they double or treble in value as the places become populated.

His fellows, in and out of the office, were commonplace young men, all looking to the main chance alone and pursuing it with only such honesty of conduct as business prudence required. They felt no further interest in their work than such as was necessary to enable them to retain their places and their salaries. Therefore they did not understand Guilford Duncan. Neither could they.
The governors are appointed by the president of the Republic and their salaries are paid from the national treasury. Under the present American occupation the various provinces still have their governors, but the real governors are the American officers locally in command of the occupation forces.
