Tha FertiIiZar Bills.

There are two bills pending in thu legi s.
lature To- the protect n of farmers against
fertilizers whic, are not up to the gIaran-
tsed standard One is the Sanford bill,
and il has passed the Senate The other is
the Bra iy bill, and it mas passed the House.
The Sanford bill provides for testing ths
fertilizer, which any farmer purchases,
by means Of che meal al tlysis. Whel a
farmer buys quantity of a fertilizer he
can ave ample of it, securely sealed in
a bottle, deposited with the ordinary Of his
county. If the fertilizer es not produces
the results which he expected, he can re-
fuse TO pay for it on the ground Of want
of consideration. If he is sued he can have
the sample deposite with the ordinary an
alyzed by the state chemist, and if the
- ..ysi, -nJws 49, the fertilizer was bslOw
the grade it was represented to be- the pay
'nentof the purchase price cannot be en-
forced
The Brady bill provides that the soil shall
be the test Of the quality of the fertilizer.
If the fertilizer does not pro luce the result
expected the farmer who purchased it may
refuse to pay for it. on the ground that it
was worthless. Ali he has to do is to show
that it did not benefit his crops. With a
jury drawn from his immediate vicinity, he
would not have much difficulty in doing
that.
All the farmer ought to want, aud, it is
probable. all he does want, is to get what
bel pays for. and not to be compelled TO pay
for that which is virtually worthless. The
Sanford bill seems to give the farmer all
the protection no needs 1t providssa sure
method of discovering whethe- the fertilizer
was Of tho grade it was old for.
Under the Brady billit would not be pos
sible to determine fully whether fertilizer
in certain case was to the stand rd or
not The soil does not afford a sure test a
fertilizer might produce ex client results
one season and no results whatever another
season, or, it might enrich some soils and
not others. The Brady bill would benefit
the lawyers chiefly.
The farmers are as much interested as
he fertilizer manufacturers in b wing the
Brady bill defeated. If that bill should pass
they would not get fertilizers except for
cash. The majority of them haven't the

without fertilizers. How that condition Of
affairs would affect them they alone can say.
The fertilizer manufacturers say that
they would sell only for cash, because they
would not be able to do otherwise. They
must have money with which to carry on
their business. They get money now by
putting the promlssory notes they take
from farmers into the bank and drawing
against them. Ii the Brady bill should be-
come law the banks would not take these
notes. AS security they would be too uncer-
tain. The fertilizer manufacturers,
therefore, would have no way of raising
money. The Brady bill should be defeated.

SAVANNAH OF TO-DAY.
The Morning News Annual Trade Review
A Few Pointers in Relation Thereto.

The MORNING NEWS Annual Trade Re
view, containing a complete and compre-
hensive statement of the business of Savan-
nah, will be issued early in September.
The year ending Sept l, 1899, will be
memorable one i = the history of Savannah,
and the MORNING NEWS proposes to give
the widest publicity to what Savannah has
done, is doing, and proposes to do in the
near future. There is no better way in
which the outside world can be informed of
what is going on in a community than
through the columns of its newspapers.
The MORNING NEWS in its forthcoming
Trade Review will show by facts and
figures that Savannah is one of the most
progressive and healthy cities In the union,
and that her citizens, judging from what
they have done during the last year, are
fully alive to the great ess of her future
They have proven by the various local inn
provements they have made, and by the
active interest they have manifested in
railroads projected for her benefit, that
they are not afraid to invest their money
within her limits. They have demonstrated
beyond all doubt that they have confidence
In her great natural advantages, and that
they believe that her deep water harbor
and her great railroad systems will, in
few years, make her the greatest seaport
city in the south.
The MORNING NEWS will, in its Trade
Review, present to the word Savannah OF
to-day" IN a resume of what has hereto
fore appeared in its columns. The review
will be in such shape that, at a
glance, it will be seen what has
been accomplished during the year.
The Trade Review will contain articles
showing the bu mess of the city during the
year and present indisputable facts which
promise a steadily increasing prosperity.
1t will establish the fact that there is no
healthier city in the south and none more
pleasant in which to live and do business
either in summer or winter 1t will
prove by figures that Savannah is
without a rival on the South Atlantic
coast, and that by their acts her citizens
show that they are satisfied that she is
only at the beginning of her commercial
greatness.
The Trade Review will be printed in the
usual form, and will be newspaper which
those who feel pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
1t will afford business mel an opportun-
fly of saying something about their business
and themselves. 1t is hoped that in size, as
well as in other respects, it viii sur ass
every previous edition. That, however.
depends entirely upon the orders it re-
ceives from advertisers.
It is desired to distribute $4,000 copies,
and that number will be distributed, if the
response of the b lsineSs men is as prompt
and liberal as We have reason to believe 1t
will be.
Orders for advertising or for copies of
the paper can be handed in at the business
Office, or, if desired, they will be called for
by the canvassers.

More Information Wanted

Some of our esteemed southern contem-
poraries a e telling the farmers how to de
feat the jute combination. They advise
them to cultivate jute. One of these con-
temporaries says: why not give the south
a new and valuable industry by growing
all the jute the country needsa If that
were done trust would be impossible. 1t
would have no tariff wall behind which to
hide itself from attack as long as bagging
machinery is as cheap as it isl
The farmers of the south are satisfied
that they can grow all the jute the entire
country needs, and they are satisfied also
that it would be profitable crop, provided
they had some way of preparing it for the
manufacturer as cheaply as it is prepared
in India. The information they
want from those new papers
which are continually telling
themto grow jute is. how they can deco j.
cate it, after they have grown it, SO they
Will be able to sell 1t as cheaply as the
imported article. Until this information is
furnished it is simply nonsense TO tell the
farmars to grow jute. They would have
begun growing it long ago if they could
have done SO profitably. A dozen or more
decorticating machines have been invented.
but their inventors have never been able to
inspire the public with confileace in EN-.
When a machine is invented that will do
the work required, the far ners will furnish
all the jute for which there is demand.

A Readers Plant.

In the midst Of the hurrying life that we lead
We always find time the papers to read.
We look for the politics. shipping. the sports,
The telegrapl news ami the weather reports.
But instead of the items we all wish to see,
We find long accounts of "Baoy Mckee"
We read how he looks. how he talks how he
grows,
We read row he falls on his queer little nose
How he digs in the garden, and rakes up the
hay,
And plays out of doors all the bright summer
day;
And not least how he rides on his grandfather's
knee,
This wonderful infant! This Baby Mckee,
No doubt it's of interest to parents whose joys
are conferred at nome n their own baby boys,
But as day after day it is thrust in our eye
by the paragraph writer, we think as we sigh:
Is There ever a spot on this earth We can flee
Where we won't find ubiquitous BABY Mckee,

Mr.. Cleveland was invited the other day
to attend tariff reform barbecue in Platts-
burg, Mo-, and after expressing his regrets
at not being able to accept, he said: "r Q
time is opportune for instruction and infor-
nation UPON the subject of tariff reform
and for the correction of misapprehension
and prejudice. The question is 50 deep and
has SO much to do with the welfare a ID
happiness of the American people that its
consideration ought not to be restrained
within the limits of party subserviency,
and it will rot thus b restrained if it is I'M
derstood." Mr.. Cleveland believes in tariff
reform, and he expects to witness its

Marshal Va zle's Caso.

The California lawyers are divided il
opinion respecting the legality of Deputy
Marshal Ma les act in xii ing Judge Terry.
Or course Terry'S friends hold that he is
guilty of grave crime, if not murder.
Others declare that he was justiffa5le in
what he did. One lawyer, John D. lawson.
author of "Lawson's Defense of Crime"
who has made very careful study of self
defense in law, in an article published in
the San Francisco Chronicle says that
Justice Field would have bsen entirely JUS
titled had he shot Terry, because Terry had
threatened to take his life, aud after such
threats had assaulted him il a manner that
indicated purpose to execute his threat.
But Nage's case, Mr.. Lawson holds, is oven
stronger than Fields. If he had neg
lected to protect Justice Field, he
would have been guilty of a crime
for which he would, in all probability, have
been punished. He accepted employment
TO protect Justice Field, and if Jud 70 Terry
had killed, or even wounded the iustice
there would have been no excuse for Nlgle
1.-The law" says Lawson, "would have con-
victed him as a felon and the community
would have bra ded him as a coward" The
''nicetieS of the law of self-defense were
not applicable to him. He was not obliged
to retreat to the wall"
The penal code of California declares
the killing of a human being to be iu;-
tifable when committed by any persoa in
resisting any attempt to do some great
bodily injury upon any person. This being
the law, and If Mr.. Lawson's In terpreta-
ton of the law is correct, there is not much
probability that Maggie will be convicted of
any crime
