In Restraint of Trade, Made by Government—Case Considered Four Weeks by Federal Grand Jury at Nashville, Tenn. The federal grand jury at Nashville, Tenn., which has been investigating the alleged fertilizer trust for the past four weeks, concluded its investigation Thursday afternoon and returned in open court Friday morning an indictment against about 80 fertilizer manufacturers, including a number of local men. The indictment contains six counts detailing in specific form alleged violations of the anti-trust laws and charging the defendants with combining and being engaged in a trust or combination. The defendants live in various parts of the country, where fertilizers are manufactured and certified copies of the indictment will be sent to the various districts in which the defendants reside, and there served. The defendants will be required to execute bonds for appearance at the October term of court in Nashville, where the cases are to be tried. The grand jury examined during the investigation 140 witnesses and the indictment returned is a voluminous document. The attorneys for the defendants were present in court Friday when the indictments were returned, and immediately after they held a consultation as to what should be the course to pursue in regard to their clients. Four weeks were taken up on the investigation, and the cost of the investigation was about $7,000. The six counts in the indictment are in a double series of three each. The first charge the defendants with engaging in a conspiracy; the second count charges the defendant with conspiracy; and the third with spiring under section 5440 revised statutes to commit the offense of engaging in a combination as defined by the Sherman law. The punishment under section 5440 is two years in prison and $10,000 fine. The third count is new in form and procedure. It charges the committing of an offense against the United States of engaging in a combination in restraint of trade as defined and prohibited by the Sherman act. The style of the case on the docket indictment is United States vs. Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company, et al., and the indictment is described as "indictment for violating act of congress, approved July 2, 1890, and entitled 'an act to protect the trade and commerce against unlawful restraints and monopolies,' and section 5440 revised statutes United States." NO GRAFT: NO BUSINESS. Goal Company Ruined by Roads Through Wiltholding Care. Several interesting developments marked the closing session at Philadelphia of the interstate commerce commission's investigation into the alleged discrimination by railroads in the distribution of cars in the bituminous coal fields. Sensational testimony was given by the general manager of the Reakent Brothers' company, coal operators. He stated that within the last two and a half years his company's car supply had been so inadequate that the business had been practically ruined. He declared that other companies had been favored in the distribution of cars, and said he had no doubt that discrimination had been practiced against his company, because it had failed to make gifts of stock to the railroad officials. He gave it as his opinion that President A. J. Cassatt was responsible for the alleged discrimination. BLUEJACKETS READY TO REVOLT Two Thousand Confined in Naval Barracks at Sebastopol. Two thousand blue jackets, suspected of disaffection, are confined in the naval barracks at Sebastopol, Russia. The garrison there is also distrusted and will be replaced by troops from elsewhere.

Three of those who were wounded at Sebastopol, May 7, by the explosion of bombs succumbed Tuesday, making a total of twelve deaths. SAVANNAH. GA. SATURDAY. JUNE 2, 1906. MORE TROUBLE IN HOUSE. Mesers. Hepburn and Cooper Clash Over Question of Veracity-Lie Microbe Seems Prevalent. A Washington special says: Some where down deep in the vitals of the rate bill the lie microbe seems to be imbedded. Every time the bill is given a good, sharp shake that microbe is brought to the front to disturb legislative tranquility. Last week the prevarication bug was busy at the senate end of the capitol, and at every turn the country heard about deliberate, willful and malicious liars. Just to show that it knows no favorites, the lie microbe got busy in the house at Friday's session, and succeeded in furnishing another sensational scene. This time the dramatis personae were chairman Pete Hephurn of the interestate commerce committee, whose name the impregnated bill bears, and the stately and scholarly Representative Cooper of Wisconsin. Did or did not Chairman Hepburn give somebody assurance that the conferees upon the rate bill would see to it that express companies would be taken out of the rate bill? Representative Cooper told the house that he had been told Colonel Hepburn did give such assurance. He did not tell who had told him this, but vouched for the standing of the men who had told him. Colonel Hepburn did not resort to the good old English word "illar" in branding this false, but he said as much in other language, and sald, moreover that unless Mr. Cooper did give his authority he would be compelled to believe the whole thing was a figment of the Wisconsin man's imagination. Then the situation became red-hot. Shaking his fists at Cooper, he declared this to be the first time in his life, in congress or out of it, that any man had impugned his veracity. The two men, who have seats not far apart on the republican side, were at white heat, and a personal clash was feared. Oil was finally poured upon the troubled waters, but there were no retractions. BY FAIR MEANS OR FOUL. Sples of Standard Oil Instructed to Knock Out Competitors. A total of nineteen witnesses were called by Interstate Commerce Commissioners Prouty and Clements in the Standard Oil inquiry, which begun in Cleveland, Ohio, Friday. The testimony of George Lane of Massefield, Ohio, a former employee of the Standard Oil company, was regarded as particularly important. According to his evidence, Lane was for about fourteen months in 1901 and 1902 employed by the Standard Oil company for the particular purpose of driving all of the independent oil dealers in a dozen or more of the principal cities and towns of northern Ohio out of business. He said he was employed by C. M. Lyons of the Cleveland office of the Standard Oil company, to go to certain designated places and use every means, fair or foul, to force the independents to quit. PURCHASED BY SOUTHERN. Bhp Yard Property at Richmond Secured for Extension Plans. It is authoritatively stated that the Southern railway company has purchased the old Trigg ship yard property at Richmond, for extension of its local track and warehouse facilities. The property acquired covers 16 acres of land lying between the city docks and the James river. The price paid is said to have been $107,000. CANNOT TRANSPORT BOOZE. Mississippi Law is Upheld by Court in Kansas City. Judge Smith McPherson, in the United States district court at Kansas City, Friday, refused to grant an injunction sought by the Harvest King Distilling company of Kansas City, which asked that the American Express company be restrained from refusing to transport packages destined to Mississippi. TWENTY YEARS FOR YEGGMEN. Clark and Newman Convicted in Forsyth Court of Burglary. Charles H. Clark and Thomas Newman were sentenced to twenty years each in the penitentiary by Judge Reagan at Forsyth, Ga., Friday morning for burglarizing the Trio Manufacturing company's office last September. Newman and Clark are also charged with assaulting and robbing the night marshal, J. M. McMichael, who on the night of the Trio robbery they bound and gagged, he being found; in a dying condition next morning. ROW IN CONVENTION Tennessee Democrats Engage in Free-for-All Fight. POLICE ARE CALLLD IN First Day's Session of State Convention Broke on Selection of Temporary Chairman and Turbu- - The Tennessee state democratic convention which met in Nashville to nominate candidates for governor and railroad commissioners adjourned at 6:10 Tuesday until 10 o'clock Wednesday, without having even effected temporary organization. It was decidedly the most turbulent body of the kind that ever assembled in Tennessee. Pandemonium and free fights were the rule, and it was with the utmost difficulty that any sort of record of proceedings could be made. Adjournment was reached after an understanding was effected between the leaders of opposing factions that the three gubernatorial candidates, Governor John I. ox, Congressman Malcolm R. Patterson and Judge Jno. R. Bond, each name four representatives, who should constitute a committee to decide on a temporary chairman. Before this agreement was effected the battle over contested delegations occupied the entire time of the convention, which is the largest in the history of Tennessee politics. The services of the police were necessary from the outset. Vice Chairman W. K. Abernathy of the state committee called the convention to order at noon. There was confusion from the very outset, and when the roll call of the counties for selection of temporary chairman began, the uproar steadily increased. Challenges opened with Crocket county, and when Davidson was reached a battle royal was on, the wildest excitement prevailing. The county was finally passed, the contest going to the committee on credentials to be named later, and slowly the roll call proceeded, every move marking a fresh contest. Though Chairman Abernathy is a splendid presiding officer, he was often swept aside by the tempest, and, with many speaking and shouting from various parts of the hall, none could be heard. Once the chairman laid down the gavel and advanced to the front of the stage, as he said, to make himself heard. When he went back for the gavel Luke Lea of Davidson county, a Patterson supporter, had it and was essaying to act as presiding officer. Abernathy protested. Lea was obdurate, and from then on there were two presiding officers, and pandemium on the floor. At length a council of war between the leaders brought about a temporary truce, and adjournment followed. At 3:30 o'clock Chairman Abernathy left the chair and refused to further preside. The scene following beggars description. Several personal encounters followed, and one man was belabored over the head with a stick. The police were called upon to interfere, but it was some minutes before they could quell the disturbance. An attempt was made to assault Chairman Abernathy, but it was prevented by the timely interference of friends. At that time the convention hall had the appearance of a free-for-all fight being in progress. TO MEET TROLLEY RATES. Western and Atlantic Railway Will Make Reduction In Fares. It was announced in Atlanta Tuesday that the Western and Atlantic railroad will reduce its rates from Atlanta to Marietta to those charged by the street car line between these two points. COLLISION MANGLES EIGHT. Deadly Accident Occurs on L. & N. Road at Louisville. Eight persons were killed and twenty-two injured by the derailment of two coaches of a passenger train on the Louisville and Nashville railroad at Louisville, Ky., Monday. The train left Knoxville Sunday night, was on time and was nearing the union station in Louisville at a moderate speed when a flange on a wheel of the smoking car broke, throwing open a switch and causing two of the coaches to "side-swipe" a cut of box cars on a sliding. BOMB-THROWING BEGINS. Deadly Work Done by Russian Terrorists in Sebastopol and Tiflis. Many Persons Are Killed. Several bombs were thrown in Sebastopol Sunday while a review of troops was being held after the Te Deum in celebration of the anniversary of Emperor Nicholas' coronation. Three persons were killed and several wounded. Among the wounded were the commander of the fortress, General Neptueff, and the chief of police. Other high dignitaries escaped. Vice Admiral Choukmin, commanding the black sea fleet, who is a special subject for terrorist revenge, was not present. Two of the bomb throwers were arrested. Dispatches received in St. Petersburg concerning the affair say that eleven persons were killed,including five children, and that over a hundred persons were wounded. The dispatches also say that four arrests were made. An outbreak is also reported at Tiflis, the dispatch stating that while Governor General Timosieff and Chief of Police Martinoff were out driving bombs were thrown at them. Neither was injured, but a Cossack belonging to the escort was killed. The crime was attempted in the center of the town, a few rods from the scene of the assassination of General Griaznoff, chief of staff of the viceroy of the Caucasus, who was killed by a bomb explosion January 9th last. General Timosieff and Chief of Police Martinoff were riding in separate carriages. They were on their way to attend the coronation Te Deum at the cathedral. Two bombs were thrown simultaneously, one of them falling to explode. Chief of Police Martinoff, who was riding with his revolver in hand, shot and instantly killed one of the terrorists, but the other escaped. Governor General Timosieff's coachman was wounded. The city is agitated, fearing an armed outbreak. Shataloff, warden of the city prison in St. Petersburg, was shot four times Sunday, and mortally wounded by an 18-year-old youth, who was executing a serial revolutionist sentence in revenge for Shataloff's bad treatment of political prisoners. The assassin, whose name is Skutlmin, killed a beggar who tried to stop him, but afterwards was arrested. FIVE KILLED BY LIGHTNING. Deadly Bolt Breaks Up a Sunday Ball Game Near Mobile. Near Mobile, Ala., Sunday afternoon during the progress of a ball game in an open field, a thunderstorm came up, accompanied by vivid lightning, which struck in the midst of the crowd of spectators, instantly killing five and injuring some twenty-five more or less seriously. The dead included three white boys and two negroes. Three men were seriously hurt, while there were at least fifteen or twenty others who were shocked and knocked down by the stroke, who knocked down by the stroke, who quickly recovered and were able to leave the scene. The field was strewn with bits of shoes and clothing from those who were killed or seriously injured and the bodies of the dead presented a spectacle, being burned in numerous places. A silvery dollar taken from the pocket of one of the victims was melted on both faces. Condemned Murderer Makes His Escape from Mislasialis Jail. R. O. Daniel, under sentence of death at Hattiesburg, Miss., for the murder of Ed Bordsley, cut his way through the rock wall of the fall Saturday night and escaped. The escape was made possible because the jailer neglected to lock the prisoner in the steel cage in which he had been kept at night. A carriage was seen in the vicinity of the fall at midnight, and it is supposed it was waiting for Daniel. JAPS TOUR MANCHURIA. Togo, Kuroki and Ito Will Make Investigation of That Region. A Tokio dispatch says: Vice Admiral Togo, General Kuroki and Marquis Ito, with a suite of admirals and generals, will start shortly on a tour of inspection of Manchuria. This inspection is supposed to be the outcome of the recent state council, at which, though the details have not yet become known, it is understood weighty decisions were reached respecting the Manchurian railways which are intended to be permanently run by-the government. MOVE ON LYNCHERS Made By Uncle Sam Through Attorney General Moody. JOHNSON AFFAIR AGAIN Non-Indictment of Prominent Chattanooga Citizens by Grand Jury Cause Government to Take A Washington special says: The government has taken steps to punish the persons who are responsible for the lynching in Chattanooga, Tenn., on March 19, last, of the negro, Ed Johnson, who, under sentence of death for rape, had been allowed an appeal by the United States supreme court from the circuit court of the United States for the eastern circuit of Tennessee. In the supreme court, early Monday Attorney General Moody filed an information requesting that, in consideration of the acts committed by the patries named, it issue a rule on each of them to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt of court. The persons named as defendants are John F. Shipp, Frank Jones, Matthew Galloway, C. A. Baker, T. B. Taylor, Fred Frauley, George Brown, Jeremiah Gibson, Marion Perkins, Joseph Clarke, "Nick" Nolan, "Shenle" Warner, Luther Williams, Paul Pool, William Marquiette, William Beeler, Claude Powell, Charles J. Powell, "Bart" Justice, John Jones, A. J. Cartwright, R. F. Cartwright, Henry Padgett, William May, Frank Ward, John Varnell and Alfred Hammond. After reciting the facts of the arrest, conviction and sentence of Johnson, the denial of his petition, among other things, that the petitioner had been denied a trial by a fair and impartial jury and had been denied the aid of counsel, in violation of the fifth and sixth amendments to the constitution and other rights under the fourteenth amendment, and the order of the court of March 19, allowing the appeal to the supreme court, and the fact of the telegraphing of the order of the court to John F. Shipp, sheriff of Hamilton county, who had Johnson in charge, and the publication of the action of the court in the Chattanooga evening papers on that date, the attorney stated that the sheriff and his deputies had every reason to believe, from current reports and rumors conveyed to them, that an attempt would be made to lynch Johnson, and that notwithstanding these facts, the sheriff withdrew from the jail early in the evening of the 19th the usual guard and left in charge only the night jailer, Deputy Sheriff Gibson. The facts attending the lynching are given in the information filed and the statement is made that, although Sheriff Shipp returned to the jail while it was in possession of a mob, neither he nor Deputy Gibson did anything to prevent the lynching, but, in fact, aided those engaged in it. The attorney general closed as follows: "Wherefore the United States of America, the complainants herein, through their attorney general, respectfully request this honorable court that, in consideration of the acts committed by the above named defendants and each of them, as hereinbefore set forth, it will issue and direct the marshal of the court to serve on said defendants and each of them a rule to show cause, if any there be, on a certain day, why said defendants and each of them should not be punished as and for a contempt of this honorable court." The court granted leave to file as requested, making the rule returnable on the second Monday of the next term of court, October 15, next. The action of the attorney general came as a surprise to the people of Chattanooga, the grand jury having failed to find an indictment against the lynchers of Johnson, although strongly charged by Judge McReynolds. It is supposed that the evidence adduced was insufficient to make out a case against any suspect. Ten of the men named by the attorney general are officials, the sheriff and his deputies. The others are not widely known or prominent. Shoe Manufacturers Assign. William Porter & Son, one of the oldest shoe manufacturing firms in Lynn, Mass., assigned Monday with liabilities estimated at about $100,000. It is said the high price of leather and restricted credit caused the assignment. SOLONS BIFF "UNCLE JOE" Arrest and Hailing of Democratic Members Before Bar of House Causes Exciting Protest. A Washington dispatch says: An experience meeting was held Tuesday in the house of representatives. It grew out of arrests made by the sergeant at arms and his officers and halting members before the bar of the house in order to complete a quorum under a call of the house Monday evening. The journal set forth the names of the members who had been placed under arrest and permitted to vote. Mr. Galnes of Tennessee stated that he had left the house at 6 o'clock p.m. upon a mission of humanity to inquire after a sick brother. He had gone to his house and was notified that a "call of the house" was on. He went into the cafe at his hotel and saw a number of members there and notified them that there was a call for a quorum. He responded with others and was overtaken by an officer of the house who placed him under arrest, and he was presented to the bar of the house. He wanted to take this opportunity to ask why the democrats were singled out for arrest, and the republicans immune, and he desired to serve notice that officers of the house must treat all alike. So far as he was concerned, he did not care for the arrest, for he was doing a duty to the slick, which he would do again, house or no house. Mr. Rucker of Missouri, another of those brought before the house, followed similar lines, except to call the sergeant at arms a "usurper with no authority to arrest." He told hom a member of the president's family last week (meaning Mr. Longworth), with a number of members under a call of the house had been "arrested" by the sergeant at arms, but had not been presented before the bar of the house, and he insisted that the discrimination ought to stop. Mr. Wallace of Arkansas explained that he had been serving on a committee of investigation, and had gone home to "supper" to get an early start of reviewing the testimony taken. He had been informed by telephone that a "call of the house" was in progress, and had responded, voting on the bill then before the body. ater he had been placed under arrest with his friend, Mr. Wiley of Alabama, and together they were presented to the bar and excused. He thought he should be absolved. Mr. Payne of New York, the floor leader of the majority, then rose to move the previous question on the approval of the journal. It became apparent that the events of Monday night were the outcome of a plan on the part of the leaders of the republican side to keep the republican majority present to enact legislation. Mr. Payne said that there was no animus whatever back of the arrests, but a practical application of a rule that has been dormant for years. HANDSOME REWARD OFFERED. Sum of $400 Will Be Paid for Apprehension of This Murderer, Governor Terrell of Georgia has offered a reward of $200 for the apprehension of the unknown person who, on the night of December 24, 1904, robbed and murdered James Graham, leaving his dead body in his front yard, in Pulaski county, near Hawkinsville, Ga. Mrs. Graham, the wife of the murdered man, also offers a reward of $200 for the capture of the murderer. INVITED TO JAMESTOWN. President Requests States to Exhibit at Their Own Expense. President Roosevelt, Tuesday, issued a proclamation inviting governors of all the states to have their respective commonwealths make exhibits, at the Jamestown exposition at their own expense. TRIPLE TRAGEDY IN TEXAS. Two Men and a Woman Dead as a Result of Shooting Affray.

He says: “My attention hag been called to an advertisement in the Georgian of recent date by the Georgia Petro- Jeum company, in which it was stated that a report on the oi! of the com: pany had been secured from me, as well as others, and that we all agreed that their of] was crude petroleum of high grade, and that the geolog- {eal conditions are such as to make it certain that ofl exists some 4,600 or 1,800 feet below the surface in great quantities. ‘rhis statement 18: wholly unwarranted, and is based o2 the following slender statement of fact: On January 5, 1904, I wrote one of the gentlemen interested on re celpt of a sample from him as fol- lows: ‘Unquestionably there is little ofl floating on the surface of the water, but there is not 4 sufficient quantity of the oll to make anything like an analysis of it’ Ihave never heard of ft since, and never even visited the spot” > eee Carver Proved Easy Mark. ‘A news item from Memphis is as {cllows: Sympathy for his fellow man proved the undoing of A.

For more than twer- ty-six years had Carver labored on the soil of the land, sowing and reap- ing, denying himself all luxuries jn order to lay aside a store for old age. With the casch which he had saved, Carver decided to seek added for- ture in Oklahoma. After arriving in Memphis Carter purchased a ticket to Woodward, Oklahoma, and then wan- dered about the station atmlessly, The Georgian was picked out as an easy mark by an affable stranger, who told Carver that he too was bound for Woodward, which was. his home, and where he conducted a large liv- ery stabie. He had been in Memphis to bury his father and settle the es- tate of the Jatter. Carver was informed that the stran- ger was in -distress, having made a large number of accounts to settle beforo he left Memphis, and being short $1,200 of the required amount, The confidence man assured’ him that he had $1,000, but would have to remain in Memphis a week longer until more. money arrived unless he could borrow some.

After I have it nicely smoked L take it from the smoke housevand hang it on stout nalls around the sides of a garner in my wheat granary. I just hang it up without auythiag over it, being careful to let one piece bang 80 as not to touch another. I keep the granary dark so as to keep out all files. I have tried this plan for sey- eral years and have never yet bad any trouble from files or other causes, Siocs du Oxebardas As scavengers, or for consuming tefuse that cannot be marketed, hogs pe almost indispensable in an orchard. he fattening of hogs on apples may be considered a sucgessful method, it being certain that this fruit possesses a value for that purpose that has been overlooked, and the destruction of in- sects by hogs in consuming the fatlen apples bas given a new value to orchards and will probably check their destruction, which in somo sec- tions of the country has already pro- gressed to a considerable extent. The animal should be allowed in the orchard from the time the frult be- gins to fall until it fs time to gather apples for the winter, and they will, 4n most cases, be found in good condl- tion fot hardening with grain and slaughtering, and the meat will be tender and of an excellent flavor. ‘When it is necessary to put them into the pen, boiled apples mixed with a small quantity of corn, oats, peas or buckwheat meal will make them fat in a short time and aii the farmer's pork barrel with sound, sweet pork of the first quality, ‘The Hen and Mer Erood, ‘When it comes to surety, safety and comfort for both the hen and her Keeper, the pen system of managing the hen and her brood is the best and -in the long ron it is much the cheapest. _, We have written on this subject be fore, but it Is so timely now and it 1s such a good thing—such a great hel to the management of the hen mothers and thelr little ones during the grow- ing season, that we are writing on it ‘once more. ‘The chief {dea 1s individuality and comparative isolation of each hen and her chickens and in this alone much 4s attained, for the more we divide the growing stock the more of it we ‘will raise. In carrying out this plan, observes W. B. Geer, a good, stout, weather and yarmint proof coop is the first essen- tlal, for the chickens must have pro- tection at night. The noxt necessity fs a pen made of slats or wire netting, this to enclose the coop, say a space about ten by twelve feet all around it, and the fencing should be six feet high and then the filght feathers of one ‘wing of the hen should be cut so that she can not tly out, should she be of a fighty turn. A gate at the front Js, of course, necessary, Within a small yurd of this kind one hen and her brood should be placed. but the fencing should not be so close that the Ittle ebicks cannot pass in “and out, for it {s not intended to con- fine them, but thelr mother. This makes a security reserve for them—a place of refuge for them from any danger, and yet they may enjoy free range at the same time, It also makes it possible to feed each hen and her brood separately, which fs a most de- sirable condition, as it prevents mob- Ding up and overcrowding. Another thought—when the showers come up, and Wwe ate busy, we need not chase all over the place, dropping everything else, to get the hens and thelr chickens in out of the wet, for the hen is stationed where there is refuge all the thme, and the chickens can quickty scoot in through the cracks to her. In fact, this system minimizes work, worry and the percentaze of loss, and It really makes the raising of chickens with hené a pléasure, as well as profit- able, Bape For Sheep, It has been well attested that rape makes the quickest and dne of the best’ ‘sheep and hog pastures that can be grown. One of our correspondents, Ar, L. C, Reynolds, says of rape: Rape has won for itself great popu- larity as a food for sheep in recent years. It is grown to-day more or less upon every farm where sheep or hogs are ralsed. I have grown rape for sheep pasture for more than twelve years, and the more I grow of it the more thoroughly I am convinced it is one of the best sheep feeds the farmer can grow, While it does not come on as carly as rye in the spring, its hardy nature makes it one of the best of for- age crops. When sown under favora- ble conditions it will supply 2 large amount of palatable pasture at six Weeks of growth, and the fact that it can be sown at any season of the year makes It bne of the best general forage crops for the farmer. No sheep owner can afford not to grow rape. It can be sown during’ every growlug season of the year and produce excellent pasture. I prefer to sow rape in drills instead of broadcast, as many do. A better stand of plants can be secured by this method, and the stock does not tramp the forage down nearly so much, I sow my rape with a land or grain drill in rows twenty Inches apart. Sow about four pounds of seed per acre, Care should be exercised not to sow thr seed top decp.—Indiana Farmer. Fertitity and Prait Growln-. | At a meeting of horticulturists Pro- fessor John Cralz, of Coruell Untyer- ‘sity, sald: 2 | “Every modern system of cultivating fruits recognizes as 2 first principle the right of the frult tree to be con- sidered a specific and sufficient crop under the soll, or at least to be regard- ed as a crop quite as exhausting in character as any grown by the farmer. Unless the frult grower realizes and puts into practice the, essential part of this prinelple he will fail as a cultlva- tor of frults. Experiments {norchard- ing conducted some years“ago at the Cornell Experiment Station proved con- clusively that it cost the soll more to producé twenty average crops of ap- ples than twenty average crops of wheat, In other words, more fertility was extracted from the land in grow- ing am acre of bearing apples for twefi- ty years than in growing twenty con- secutive crops of wheat. As a rule, the farmer recognizes the food needs of the wheat plant, but too often does he look upon the apple or fruit tree as a mere tenant of the soll, and ong which {s not to be regarded as a spe- cific crop, Having recognized the prin- ciples, the particular method of orch- arding much be worked out by the frult grower himself, This method will de pend upon soil conditions and climate. Nevertheless, it {s safe to say that fn elght cases out of ten that method Which employs clean tillage for at least part of the season will be most suc- cessful. It 4s also safe to siy that all secondary crops in orchards are inv jurious.” Farm ond Garden Notes. Much labor and expense may be saved by planning ahead.

SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1906. The following clarion call to duty by the St. Luke Herald should be pondered and follow- Dead, because they are living in the past, in the days which are gone by and which we will never see nor know again. The Negro as a race, are largely living in the past: wedded to the thing and conditions which used to exist. He is still talking about the things happened and obtained duling the war, or just after the war. Somehow he refuses to see that tallow candle, the stage coach, the old-fashioned farmer and old-timed societies have almost entirely disappeared. Somehow he refuses to see that his occupations in which he once had a monopoly are swiftly passing into the hands of white men. Somehow, he refused to awake and realize that the white men and women who used to befriend him are either nearly all dead or have quietly withdrawn from him. Somehow, he even with forty years of schools and churches, refuses to make that religious progress which everybody else has made and is making. The electric line of progress rushes the car by him, while he still stands at the station, in doubt and fear of himself, thinking of the good, old days of fast walking mule and the fast trotting ox. Isn't there some way to arouse the people and get them on the train before it will be too late? Isn't there some way, to teach our men, women and children the lesson of organization, political and financial? Isn't there some way, isn't there some one who can teach our Negro societies, churches, clubs, and organizations, that the place for the Negro money is in the Negro Bank? Isn't there somebody with love, real love, sure enough love for his own race, to stand up in the pulpit and preach the doctrine—that the past is dead, and that they who are now living in the past are dead too? Isn't there somebody, some where, who is willing to stand and preach by his living daily example that the Negro Professional Man can do when he receives Negro support? That the Negro merchant can thrive when Negroes give him their patronage? That the Negro Bank can become a Gibraltar when the Negro turns his money in that direction? Isn't there somebody, some where who feels it his God-given duty to teach by actual daily practice the Gospel of Race help? How long are we to think about the times when Negroes were holding all of the best positions of labor, domestic and public services? How long are we going to think of those days when wages were high and employment sought the man? How long, how long, how long are we going to be ALIVE—Yet DEAD? Lectured to Large Audience. Major R. R. Wright, L. L. D., President of Industrial State College lectured to a large and appreciative audience last Tuesday night, at Quinn Chapel, on "The Negro and his Contribution to Civilization." Major Wright is a pleasing as well as a forcible speaker. His address showed much research. His style of delivery was impressive at times he was eloquent and dramatic. Major Wright stands out prominent as one of the best platform speakers of today and will always be welcome in this city.—"The Columbian," Louisville, Ky. Major R. R. Wright's lecture, "The Negro's Contribution to Civilization," which he delivered at Quinn Chapel last Tuesday evening was indeed an intellectual treat, replete with convincing fact. He is extremely optimistic in his views and believes in the Negro's future. He says that all over Africa the Negro is the tiller of the soil or else an owner of large herds. That when the white man or Germans rather, was using stone implements, or when bronze weapons were first introduced, the Negro had developed the art of smelting iron; and that the Negro has contributed more than any other race to the development of the iron industry. He referred to the beautiful inlaid iron weapon of Central Africa and the perfection to which woodcarving by means of iron implements, has been brought to by the African. He also said Herbert Spencer claims that the idea of the great inaugural ball held, every four years in Washington City was copied from an African custom. In fact, the lecture was all that one could desire who has any race pride and a desire to push on for higher things.Standard, Louisville, Ky. In Line for the Fair. The farmers of Dodge county held a meeting recently in interest of the Colored State Fair. Each speaker was enthusiastic over the fair and Dodge county can be counted upon to do its part, headed by Chairman L. W. Whitehead and others. Many shares were subscribed and paid for. J. W.

New regalias have been purchased for the Grand Lodge and FAD ZSTRA PERA OPERA 1906 On Wednesday night a. large audience, very representative, gathered in the beautiful edifice of St. James A. M. E. Church, to witness the commencement exercises of Beach Institute. To the accompaniment of a beautiful march eighteen young ladies, constituting the graduating clsss of 16, marched down the centre aisle to their places. The marching line made a very pleasing spectacle and the girls in their class colors and pretty dresses of immaculate white, reminded one of the girl graduate of sweet sixteen. The program as arranged was carried out with one exception. It was highly entertaining and each number should have special mention. Each of the graduates read an essay which showed close application, and it is safe to say that each did themselves and their alma mater credit. These essays teemed with brilliant thoughts and abounded in wholesome advice, and the parents, friends and teachers can have just reasons to feel proud of these young ladies. The voice modulation and expression were very good and showed plainly that they had received special drill. Did we have space we might easily comment on every single one. The musical numbers were also very good. The number rendered by the Forest City Glee Club was most excellent and the singing, whether solo, duet or chorus, was of the best order. The female chorus of probably fifty voices, blended most harmoniously. Special mention might also be made of the solo by Mr. J W. Moore which was indeed very good. There was one thing very noticeable and singular about the exercises and that is the conspicuous part the boys played in the exercises by their absence. One, as he sat listening to the exercises, might well have thought he was attending the commencement of a seminary for girls. There was one surprise, apparently for the students, which came in the nature of a flash-light picture as seen above. After some little bustle, the photographer got himself in position, and having the students in readiness, the group was then taken; the noise and brilliant flash causing some little confusion on the part of an unsuspecting number. The address of Dr. Brockett was apt and fitting, and the appreciative audience sat in rapt silence as they listened to this most eloquent and polished speaker. The presentation of diplomas was made by the principal in his quiet unassuming, but yet pathetic manner. He said this class was the first to receive a full Normal Course at Beach Institute, which fact gave him keen pleasure. The Class Song was pretty and after the singing of it the benediction was said by Rev. W. L. Cash. This terminates one of the most successful terms of Beach. Prof. Geo. B. Hurd, the indefatigable principal and his corps of teachers deserve commendation for their work at the Institute, especially the principal. His is a labor of love, for he has made great sacrifices to remain here. He has been offered many more hundred dollars per year, for work more pleasant than at Beach, but he preferred remaining here and build up the work. He has succeeded admirably and the hope is expressed that he will return to us next year and remain many years to come. One of the failures of Beach is the frequent change of principals. The great good that the Beach has done and is doing for this community is not being appreciated as it should by our people, especially the sacrifices made and labor of love given by the teachers. there will be a parade during the communication. Past Master Geo. F. Thomas of Hawkinsville, has been on the sick list for the past several weeks. We are glad to note that he is improving somewhat. Bro. Thomas is one of our strongest men and we hope that he will be sufficiently improved to attend the Grand Communication. kins, normal. The attendance of the public at all these exercises will be appreciated. The Men's Sunday Club. No definite program was rendered at the meeting held on last Sunday. In lieu of a program, the meeting was turned into a song service and an experience meeting.

The attendance of the public at all these exercises will be appreciated. The Men's Sunday Club. No definite program was rendered at the meeting held on last Sunday. In lieu of a program, the meeting was turned in to a song service and an experience meeting. The audience seemed ready for the change and entered into the spirit of the meeting all of which were clearly evidenced by the life and pathos which they put into the songs, and by the large number that gave their brief but sincere approval to the work of the Sunday Club. The meeting was nothing less than a general symposium on Christian fellowship, and the work of the Club, greatly interspersed with music. During the meeting there were many and pleasant things said. The utterances were earnest and sympathetic and true; the advices, wholesome; the suggestions, timely; and the prayers, prophetic of hope for life's grandeurs, expressive of that fellowship and co-operation so fondly to be hoped for. All things considered, the meeting was a very enjoyable one; one of the best ones had in a long time, and one to be remembered. The enthusiasm and delight were so great, that it was proposed to hold these experience meeting at stated regular intervals. The cosmopolitanism of the club, the size of the audiences and the enthusiasm of the meetings are indeed pleasing to one, and propitiores of further success that awaits to crown the noble and commendable efforts the club is putting forward to elevate the moral, intellectual, physical and spiritual condition of the community. The Club on last Sunday adopted as the mode of applause [the chautaqua salute and hereafter, it is expected, that there will be no hand-clapping or patting with the feet to applaud any participant or speaker at the Club. The chautaqua salute, the waying of the handkerchief, no doubt will cause the young men to put in a heavy stock of handkerchief at the next Monday morning bargain sale. The Club also hopes to begin its slum work in the very near future under the supervision of Mr. L. D. Thompson. Volunteers are asked for and here we have another instance of where the Club is trying "to reach the unreached." The whole community should join hands, and lift its voice to God in prayer and petition for His favor and richest blessing on the labors of the club in going to the rescue of this distressing need. As Christians, our bounden duty is "to seek and save that which is lost." [To-morrow, Sunday, Bishop Williams, | To-morrow, Sunday, Bishop Williams, of Augusta, Ga., will be present and will speak to the Club. The public in general is invited and also we shall be glad to welcome into our ranks, the returning graduates and students of the various schools and colleges. In Memoriam.

E MAXWELL. St. Philip Dots. Rev. McMillan of Gaines Chapel, preached at 11 o'clock on Sunday. Rev. McMillan's discourse was interesting and to the point. Those who were out heard a good sermon. Rev Lindsay preached at night. Notwithstanding the rain there was a large congregation out. We are glad to note that Prof. J. H. Baldwin, superintendent of our Sunday School, is out agala after being sick for the past month. Rev. Lindsay, preached the baccalaureate sermon at Asbury M. E. Church on last Sunday morning to the students of Haven Home. Rev. Lindsay also left for Atlanta on Monday to attend the commencement at Morris Brown College. Rev. Lindsay has a double duty to perform. First, to attend the meeting of the trustee board of the above College and to deliver 51 diplomas to graduates. The reverend is just as busy as a bee. An error was made in the dots last week about Rev. Lindsay preaching the baccalaureate sermon at the Georgia State Industrial College on Sunday. It should have read, "The Haven's Home." No fault of this paper however. Every person you ask say, "Why why they are going to Beaufort, on Tuesday June 12 with St. Philip." The following services will be held en to-morrow Sunday. Prayer meeting at 5:39 a.m. Preaching and baptism of children and adults at 11 a.m. Sunday School at 2:30 p.m. Communion and the reception of members at 3:30 p.m. Preaching at 8:50 p.m. Strangers are cordially invited. Union Baptist Church. Union Baptist Church. There were regular services held at the Union Baptist Church on last Sunday. At 11 o'clock the services were conducted by Rev. F.

Sweagin, after which the B. Y. P. U., held its meeting for one hour. It was very interesting. At 8:30 p. m., the pastor preached to the Friendly Brotherhood Club from this subject, "Love to the Brotherhood." There will be baptism at the Bay St. bridge at 8 o'clock Sunday morning. Preaching at 11 a. m. The Lord's supper will be administered at 4 p. m. Preaching at 8:30 p. m., by the pastor. The public is cordially invited to attend the services. Notice.

What Coal Tar's Magic Has Done. FIFTY YEARS AGO IT WAS A WASTE BY-PRODUCT. Chemists Will Celebrate the Perkin Discovery, Which Did Much to Put the Profession in the Front Rank of Utilitarian Occupations. B Y producing delicate tints from the ugly black tar, a hitherto waste by-product of coal gas. William Henry Perkin, F. R. S., LL. D., Ph. D., D. Se., V. P. C. S., is still alive, although this string of abbre William Henry, Perkin, an English chemist, rendered a public service unappreciated at the time. His discovery turned the manufacturing industry of the world into new channels and chemistry leaped to the front rank of the professions. That is why the chemists of England, Germany and the United States are now planning a fitting memorial to celebrate the fiftieth memorial of this remarkable discovery. Perkin is not to be memorialized alone for his 'color discovery. The knowledge of his use of coal tar opened the way for other chemists to bring their learning to bear, and in rapid succession the world was given artificial perfumes, flavors, carbolic acid, medicines and compounds employed in developing photographic plates. Chemists are now so well acquainted with the properties of coal tar that they can almost make a color to order. In perfumes their best known product is tonone, which is the basis of imitation violet; in medicinal products acetanilid, sulphonal, phenacetine, analgene and antipyrine; and the oil of bitter almonds and saccharine are perhaps the best known of the artificial flavors. Before Perkin created his sensation, chemists from the beginning of the nineteenth century, and even before, had been working for these results. Synthetic or constructive chemistry was their subject, and the years they put in on tedious research made them a secluded, reserved class of men, who to-day would be known as "grinds." Their labors brought them little returns, financially. The gay outside world regarded them as hermits, looked pertombingly on, and wondered, maybe, at the sacrifice. But all this weary toll was not a waste of time. Years later, profiting by the studies of the pioneers, a man appeared who hit upon a solution of the problem. Artificial color was the result. The article he made had been known to exist in indigo, and its constituents were known, but no one before had ever put them together in a laboratory. The beauty and the cheapness of the color Perkin made excited great admiration, especially among those engaged in supplying the market with fabrics, and development was rapid. Other products followed in quick succession, and the manufacturing world received an impetus such as it had never known. Results of the chemist's research work still continue, and each year sees brilliant discoveries added to the records of science. There is no reason now why any organic body should not be synthetically made if chemists can find what its composition and structure are. The only reason they cannot make an egg is that they do not know how to build the fabric. They have each composite part, but they cannot put them together, and, as one chelist remarked to the writer, "Building the structure doesn't properly belong to chemistry, anyway." Synthetic quinine is the aim of the large body of chemists engaged in research work just at present. Others are working to produce sugar, and the men who find these formulae will make their fortunes. A way to produce synthetic quinine has been found, but it is yet too expensive for commercial purposes. Chemists have just begun to be appreciated in this country. Forty-five years ago, when the sugar Industry was begun here in the United States, Professor Chandler, of Columbia University, then a boy still at his studies, was given a job by a friend in the storehouse over in Brooklyn. The position was more to help the boy through his scientific course than anything else. "But what shall I do?" asked the student. "Do?" his benefactor replied. "Oh. do anything, but keep out of the way and don't ask questions!" He who was some day to add his contributions to science took the patronizing friend at his word and did what he wanted to do without going to a superior every day for permission. The experiments and formulae learned in class room and laboratory were put into practical use and soon "the boy out in the back room" began sending in recommendations to headquarters as to savings here, expenditures there, a mass of economic detail that surprised the older heads. That was years ago. To-day each sugar plant in the country has a laboratory and hundreds of chemists are employed. They are being taken into factories generally and put at research work and analysis. In competition the house that can produce the cheapest and the best is the successful one and here economy counts—therefore the research chemist. In Germany, where the profession is farthest advanced, manufacturing establishments usually have a group of chemists. Maybe they will work for years without accomplishing any results, still their pay continues. Then, some day, the long-sought process or solution is obtained, and thousands of dollars saved. That is one reason why the Germans and the English excel us in chemical industry. They recognize the chemist's worth, and have forged ahead through his ingenuity. William Henry Perkin, F. R. S., LL. D., Ph. D., D. Sc., V. P. C. S., is still alive, although this string of abbreviations after his name might lead some to think differently. He is working patiently in his laboratory in research study and experiments with just as much zeal as before the day when he made his "strike" in coal tar. Dr. Perkin was born in London on March 12, 1838, and studied chemistry under Dr. A. W. Hofmann at the Royal College of Chemistry, where he was afterwards assisting in his research laboratory. It was here Dr. Perkin made his coal tar sensation by the discovery of the mauve dye in 1830. He was then only eighteen years of age. Subsequently he became interested in the manufacture of coal tar-colors, and continued in this work until 1874. Since then Dr. Perkin's time has been occupied in research work and writing. His publications are numerous, and include a circle range of subjects. Although an Englishman discovered the value of coal tar and English manufacturers were the first to put the country's large deposits of the raw material to practical use, Germany has succeeded in taking the industry away from the Britons, and is now importing the raw material to keep her factories supplied and running. Germany has taken the lead, because the Government has done everything possible to encourage the profession as well as the industry, and her chemists are masters who lead the world. America produces immense quantities of coal tar. It is formed from the old-fashioned process of making coal gas, and although this system is now out of date, it is still used to make the coal tar now instead of the gas. As story is told and vouched for by an eminent authority that illustrates how highly this by-product is valued. It seems that not many years ago on the banks of the Schuylkill River, Philadelphia, was a gas works. That was in the days prior to Perkin's discovery. The gas men had no use for the coal tar, and its rapid accumulation soon became a nuisance and a burden to them. The city would not permit the company to run the tar into the river, so the gas men put down a drain, which ostensibly was to empty into a big underground reservoir, but which really discharged into the river beneath the surface of the water. Coal tar is too thick a substance to mix with water. It congeals just like molasses candy, when in making it you drop it into a glass to see if it has boiled to the proper consistency. That is just what the coal tar discharged from this Philadelphia gas works did. When it flowed from the pipes of the gas works into the river it sank into a pocket in the river bottom, and formed a hard, solid deposit, gradually accumulating in size as the years rolled on. Then the new process of making gas came into vogue, and the old works on the Schuylkill were abandoned. Several years after the value of the despised coal tar became known, a sharp-witted chemist, in nosing around the old gas works on the Schuylkill, discovered the drain pipe, and following it up found that the output of coal tar for years had been emptied into the river. It did not take long to engage a diver and set him to work, with the result that the rich deposit was located, finally brought to the surface and utilized to a considerable profit. The chemical industry is on the gain here in America, and is coming up with rapid bounds. One thing that has acted to keep it down is the present tax on alcohol, which it is expected, will be removed by this session of Congress. Alcohol is a great solvent, and in the different processes of manufacture and research work is used in great quantities. Not in the United States, however. Here at $2.50 a gallon it is prohibitive. Alcohol can be made for fifteen cents a proof gallon, yet the tax on it here is $1.10 for every proof gallon made. It seems strange, but it is nevertheless true. In England and in Europe there is not this handicap, and with such a difference in the price existing in favor of the foreigners, one advantage they hold in research work is plain to be seen. Sentiment and a popular agitation on intemperance has helped greatly in influencing the Government to maintain its tax on alcohol. The United States has been against any policy which should encourage the production of alcohol as a beverage, and the enforcement of the law has cost the Government a lot of money. The moonshiners in the mountains and the illicit distillers in the crowded cities have been the transgressors. Chemists acknowledge the danger of taking down all bars and permitting the wholesale manufacture of all kinds of alcohol. They have, however, at last made it plain to Congress that the sort of alcohol they wish to use in their profession is as different from run alcohol as whisky is from water.

The common house fly (Musca Domestica) is a creature of such secretive habits, that although from the very earliest times he has been with us, and the most ancient writers have mentioned and described him, still very little was known of his origin and history. It remained for the eminent Boston biologist, Dr. A. S. Packard, in 1873, to make known his origin, habits and transformations from the egg through the larva state with its two changes to the pupa state, then to the perfect fly. Near the first of August the female lays about 120 eggs of a dull gray color, selecting fresh horse manure in which to deposit her eggs, and so secretes them that they are rarely seen; it takes only twenty-four hours for them to hatch into the first form of lervs, a white worm one-quarter of an inch in length and one-tenth in diameter. They feed on the decaying matter of their environment, and two changes or casting of skins occur before they turn into the pupa state; this change comes very suddenly. The entire period from the egg to the pupa state is from three to four days. If moist food is wanting when in this condition they will eat each other and thus decrease their number. Heat and humidity greatly assist their development, as upon careful computation each pound of manure around stables and outhouses develops under favorable conditions over one thousand dies. It is no wonder that where these conditions exist, we have such a veritable harvest of the fly pest. In the pupa state when the fly is about to emerge, the end of the pupa case splits off, making a hole through which the fly pushes a portion of its head; but here it seems to encounter a difficulty; the pupa case is too stiff and hard to pass through, but nature comes to its assistance, and a sort of bladder like substance forms behind the head, which swells out apparently filled with air; it acts as a means of pushing away the pupa case and releases the fly. When the fly first emerges it runs around with its wings soft, small and baggy; it is pale and the colors are not set; its head rapidly expands and the bladder formation passes away—within a few hours the wings grow and harden. It is now a perfect fly. The whole time from the depositing of the egg to the perfect fly is not over ten days in duration. Many persons who observe small files in midsummer suppose they are the young, but such is not the case, they are files that are imperfectly nourished in the larvae and pupae states, and do not attain full size, in fact, they are the dwarfs of their race. The male fly differs from the female in the front of the head between the eyes, being at least one third narrower, though in size the female is rather smaller. In the pupa state they are often fed upon by the larvae of some of the beetles, notably that of the carpet beetle, whose pups, the dreaded buffalo "moth," will attack the young fly in the pupa case and eating it possess the case for itself. Adult files, like most other creatures, have parasites of minute size that prey upon them; these can often be seen as presenting small red specks over the body of the fly. Another enemy in the form of a fungus often attacks the fly in the early autumn. This makes its appearance as a white swelling and the white spores of the disease can be seen penetrating the body of the fly, which it finally distends and ruptures. The fly bibernates in winter, but with his usual secretive habit, it is very difficult to find him in his winter quarters. With the first chill of autumn the files feeling the cold, seek temporary warmth in houses, and clustering together form bunches in the corners of walls and other places. They are then sluggish and not so active as in the warm weather. However, they do not make a permanent stay indoors, but on the first mild, sunny day, seek the windows to get out and find their permanent winter hiding place; many prefer to make their homes in the roots of grass on lawns where they hide themselves so effectually that the ice and snow of winter does not destroy them in their bibernating state. If in the first warm days of spring when the snow is gone and the grass on the lawns becomes dry and warm, long before the yellow dandelion shows its head, a close observer may see numbers of files crawling up on the grass to get the welcome sunshine, their wings standing out stiff and tusselless; but they-soon acquire the power of flight in the warm rays of the sun. A great many days, however, elapse before they appear in the homes of men, where they are such unwelcome visitors. In recent years, the medical profession have demonstrated that while the fly itself does not propagate disease, it is one of the most industrious carriers of disease germs which by contact address to his feet, hairy legs and body, distributing them to innocent victims. If every house-keeper could know all these interesting facts which have never before been brought to their attention, they would realize the importance of securing the very best fly exterminator. In the sixty-three penitentiaries of Italy there are 9,942 convicts who are kept busy at various industries. (A122-05) STOPT ST.

Willadsen continue to suffer rather than submit to examinations which so many physicians propose in order to intelligently treat the disease; and this is the reason why so many physicians fail to cure female disease.
