HERE AND THERE.

There Is q strip Of land near MI
Ian, Tenn. two miles wide and five or
six long. where they have had no rain
since April.
-Overproducti0n Of poor fruits is
going on all the time; there Is rarely.
if ever, a brisk demand for fruit OF
inferior quality. But the demand for
fruits and vegetables of prime quality,
is and probably always will be ahead
of the supply at paying prices.
Tho Georgia fruit and vegetable
growers have overdone tho business
this year. The market has been
glutted. and they have made but little
money. Unless they can avail them
selves of the Western markets they
will have to reduce operations.

Meadows and Pastures

While sweltering under the heat Of
an August sun In the effort to save less
than a fifth of q ton OF fodder to the
hand per day, and while. may be the
small grain pasture Is parched, dry
and exhausted. 1t is . good time to
think about sowing grass seed and
making arrangements for pasture
and hay for next year. Next
month will be the time to
commence sowing grass seed
Of most kinds for pasture or meadow.
There are several species Of natural
and artificial grasses that are known
to succeed well in the South under
reasonable favorable conditions. Red
clover will do on any clay soil that is
in good heart; but it is hardly worth
while to SOW 1t on poor land. Indeed,
no valuable grass will do we'll on
poor land. and most Of them will not
even survive a sickly existence of one
season. Orchard grass will grow in
sun or shade and on most soils; tall
oat grass will succeed well on light
soils; Herds grass is we'll adapted to
rather low wet lands; Bermuda Is the
best summer pasture grass; johnson
grass will grow wherever corn will
grow. and yields enormous crops of
hay. Get seed ready for sowing within
the next two months. Barley and rye,
however, both Of which are grasses,
are equal to any thing for pastures.
md every farmer is familiar with them.
Seed should be sown in September or
October. the earlier the better. one
bushel and upward OF rye, and two
bushels and upward Of barley. to each
acre. the better the land the heavier
the seeding. The only objection to
these ~ pasture grasses is the fact that
they are ANIMALS and the sowing must
therefore be repeated every year. For
green-soiling-that is cutting and feed
ing green to stock-there is nothing
better than barley and rye-except
lucern. But the soil should be rich
and the seeding very much heavier.
We have sown two bushels Of seed rye
on an acre of very rich soil. and
thought the seeding none too heavy.
The yield was enormous. On such
rich lots three TO four bushels Of bar
ley are not too many. II urged that
such heavy seeding costs too much. it
may be replied that two bushels of
rye. or four bushels of barley on an
acre Of rich soil. will yield better re-
suits than the same quantity Of seed
spread over two acres Of soil of only
half the fertility.-DiIic Farmer.

THE SEWER QUESTION.
A Flood of Protests Looked for
This Evening.


This is the last day of grace allowed
the residents Of Sewer District No. to
get in their protests against the meas
ure.
AS has been seen by the interviews
lately published in these columns, and
also from the report of the committee
of nineteen made at the Chamber of
Commerce meeting on Friday evening,
there is considerable opposition to the
movement. Up to the last meeting of
the City Council week ago. but three
protests had been filed. During the
past week, however, opponents to sew
erage have held numerous private
meetings. and thoroughly organized q
system of canvass, the district being
worked for all il is worth. The result
of their labors will probably be made
visible this evening.
In additi IN to the protests from prop
erty-owners in the district, we may also
look for long petition from taxpayers
generally, protesting against the con-
struotion of the main sewer, because
the money of the entire people will be
expended for the benefit of few" and
asserting, in substance. that the Coun-
Gil has no right to use water belonging
to the outlying districts for the purpose
of flushing the sewers of the business
portion of the city. These, we learn,
are the main objections to be urged in
the general protest.
The war commences in earnest this
evening

TO DOWN POWDERLY.

It is published in Pittsburg that a
scheme is on foot for the defeat of
General Master Workman Powderly at
the forthcoming assembly of the
Knights of Labor. The plan conteI-
plates also the overthrow of the execu-
tive board 1t is being worked up in
the interest of Ex-Secretary Litchman,
who resigned to enter the service and
take the pay of the Repu blican cam
paign committee, and who was so
severely criticised for his course by Mr..
Powderly. Mr.. Litchmsn realizes that
with the close of the campaign he will
be out of job. and he naturally wants
something to do with salary attach
ment. Furthermore, he and his sup
porters belong to the more radical wing
of the order. and they are, consequently
not in sympathy with Mr.. Powderly.
For the sake of the organization, as
well as for the public welfare, it is
hoped that the scheme will not succeed
That the Knights to-day are powerful
as an order is due more largely to Mr..
Powderly than to any other one man
indeed, a good many people believe
that had it not been for him there would
now be no Knights of Labor. He
has been conservative and moderate
in his administration; whenever dis
sentions have broken out, as has often
been the case, he has done his utmos
to heal them, without involving q
break. At times the factional spirit
has found its way into the order, and
there has been danger of disruption,
but Powderly has stood firmly for
union and peace. His efforts have been
steadily IN the direction of keeping the
society in the line which was marked
out for it at the beginning; those who
have gone astray have been those who
wanted to make of the order something
more than was originally intended. His
wi ie counsels and conservative course
have been everything for the Knights,
for they have won the respect of the
public-a thing which is absolutely es-
sential to the success and continuance
of any lawful labor organization. a
different course from that which Pow
derby has followed would soon involve
the Knights. as an order, in trouble,
and soon disrupt the society. Mr..
Litchman is not only radical. but he is
rank partisan, politically, and is am
bilious for power and authority. His
aim would be to turn the organization
into big political machine. to be used
by him for his own purposes. The
Knights will be wise to defeat the Litch-
man scheme. and to let well enough
alone by mining Mr.. Powderly in
office.

Sewerage---A Protest.

To the Editor of THE HERALD:
After careful inquiry, I have con-
cluded that the introduction of the
sewerage system into the block in which
l reside, will be an expensive luxury,
for which we are not prepared and for
which We feel no need. Being home
steads, and not business property, that
compose this block, IL will be easily seen
that in some cases the system of sewer
age at the present time would be pro-
ductive of anxiety, in some cases ne
cessitating the sale of the homestead
60 meet the tax.
While we must all see the necessity
Of some method OF sewerage for the
closely populated districts, we certainly
do not see the justice of being forced
| to contribute to this necessity. AS
wisdom suggests, and very few people
in this world are willing to pay for
that for which they feel no need,
F'five or ten years hence will be time
enough to introduce the sewer on
First East Street," seems to be the
general impression on one block-I
think it will be the population and not
the time which will decide this, and
when First East becomes a business
street, like Main Street, we shall see
the demand and ask for the supply
until then tits hkeeoercion to be taxed
for the benefit of others.

THOSE INSIDE WORKINGS.
An Idaho Journal Shells the Trib.

The.Salt Lake Tribune still persists ia

By such course it seeks to fasten its

with the working affairs of the
Tribune, he ignerantly told the
truth. He never was known to make
a point short of half column space,
and for that much free advertising we

Our space, however, Is too valuable or
we could relate from memory some of
the Matchmaking schemes perpetrated
upon enterprising mining men in Utah
by the Tribune, which were partially
exposed in the old Salt Lake Democrat,

truths the Tribune was forced to pur-

Improved by the decent portion of the
az American press. When the bill was
o1sup for discussion that measure was
ne denounced by reputable journals, and
fair newspapers have since condemned
it as cruel and wicked. Now that the
Supreme Court of the Territory has
made decree in accordance with the
KS Gated large amount of property be-
w. longing to the church, the newspapers
are again attacking the statute. Below
is what one of them, the Washington
Star, has to say on the, subject of law
which has never found favor with any
,, honest, intelligent man in America:
VI The decree OF the Supreme court OF Utah
Territory, confscating the property of the
Mormon church corporation, may have
plenty of law to support it, but measured
by the standards OF everyday life, it wears
the appearance of petty tyranny. The Nor

serves the same consideration as any other

over, how such forfeiture as is wrought by
the present decree of court can effect any
good in the way of breaking up perni-
cious domestic custom. On the o}G theory
4 that might makes right, many harsh and ex-
treme measures are excused in the conduct
of one government toward another whose
