damp but not rainy he would take out
one rail and put the vines in the wagon.
Each rick could be hauled at q load so
the leaves remained between the vines
and were not broken off and lost. He
never allowed the peas to ripen in the
pod, as he considered in that case the
hay would not pay for the impoverish-
ment of the soil, and the stalks would be
SO woody that the cattle would not eat
them readily.
The farmers OF Georgia and South
Carolina often allow the vines to get
ripper than this, so that the pods are two
Or three inches long and the peas fully
formed; but we believe this to be mis-
take. Dried grass, dried pea-vines is
what all kind of milk cattle want, and
not hay; they want it as green as English
breakfast tea. True, itmay notWeigh as
much when cut and cured green this way,
but it has the root of the matter in it,
the palatableness and the milk making
quality.
Peas and all other forage in this excess
sively dewy country ought not to be
mown in the morning until the mois-
ture is we'll dried out This may seem an
unnecessary delay, but it will prove a
gain in the end, because the dew will not
evaporate from swath as fast as it will
from standing grass or vines.
Rake into rows CT cocks before the dew
FALLS as soon, in fact, as the most ex-
posed leaves show the least sign of turn
ing crisp and becoming brittle. At that
moment the hay is getting over cured.
Often it will do to haul into pens before
night. Have rail pens, square, with q
floor in each six inches above ground.
Fill each with the vine three feet, loosely
thrown in, not packed; then run rails
across to support another layer OF vines
three feet deep, etc., as high up as they
can be pitched from a wagon. Cover with
boards in O. shed roof, or with cOrnstalks
from which all the leaves have been
stripped off for feed. These can be laid
regularly like thatch and serve a good
purpose. But board roof will pay the
extra expense and labOr.-Dispatch,

Mr.. Heard thought while some of the roads
could afford to sell eight tickets for 25 cents
Others could not. In the interest of the

certain hours the fare might be reduced How

good purpose should be passed as it stood.
MIR. McComas said he had watched the rail-
ways here very carefully and thought eight
tickets for 25 cents was fair basis for
railway traffic. The roads could all afford
to do this and the change would be in the in

Proposals AGgreEating Quarter OF Million
Received Today.
In responce to Secretary WINDOWS action on
Saturday offering to purchase 5000. 600 worth
of per cent bonds, proposals to sell were TO
ceived at the department today aggregating
about quarter of million at prices ranging
from S1.22 to S1.25. There was no expectation
that the call would be received in time
to produce many returns today, and
SO to,!ay's offerings were considered as being
very large under the circumstances. The &C
ton of the Secretary today in accepting or re-
jecting these offers will be noted with great in
terest as indicating the price that will be paid
in the future.
The Secretary issued the call upon the repre-
sensations which, it is understood. were made
by Messrs. Seligman and Bliss of New York that
unless the government should render additional
aid there would be further trouble in the fran
cial market. A proposition has also been made
to the Secretary to increase the deposits with
the national banks as a means of relief. but he
has already indicated his antagonism toward
such policy.

The New York S,pa prints long report of an
interview on the financial situation held by its
Washington correspondent with Secretary Win

ment is doing al il can 10 relieve the present
stringency and viii continue on the same line
of policy 1t has followed up 10 this time. The
stringency. he says, is not a result of con-
traction Of the currency and there has never

era of peace when 80 much money has been flow
ing out Of the treasury into the country The

boarded. The S1Oo. 900 900 in gold held AZ the
legal tender reserve will never be disturbed
with his consent Congress might order al
done, but he would not recommend it, He
might possibly call on the s2i 600 .O0D dtpositd

present time In conclusion he saw that what
ever he may do toward allaying the uneasiness
in monetary circles he does not propose ~ let

Has Won the Day.
LONDON, Dec. s.-The concensus of opinion
as gathered from this mornings papers is that
Mr.. Parnell has by his strategy won the day. so
far as retaining the immediate confidence and
support of the Irish people is concerned. What
the sober second thought of the people will be
depends upon the degree of ability with which
the seceders can lay their case before the coun-
try. They have the best speakers and more
first rate men than the regulars have.
but Mr.. Parnell is a host in himself.
and has the Irish press and the purse with
him. The struggle for supremacy will be az
interesting rs it is undoubtedly important.
Many of Mr.. Parnell's opponents think the Sc
ceders should at once resign and seek re-elec-
ton. 1t is reported that some OF Mr.. Parnell's
adherents are likely to go over to Mr.. Nc
Carthy's side soon.

Account of u Collision.

The road rights of bicycle riders are not very
clearly defined in some cities. but in Washing

although very often the wheelmen get what
they consider the wrong of the case. the inter-

an accident that occurred the day before

on the right eide OF the street, as he claims,
when three or four OF Mr.. Reilly's lumber
wagons. driven by negroes. came racing down
in an opposite direction in such manner. he
states in his declaration. that he was forced
out Of his line and rightful path. and
finally overturned By one of the wagons.
He was badly bruised and hurt. sustaining sew
cral severe injuries. while his wheel ws.s almost
ruined. The suit is for ~ coo damages for the
jury to both body and property and is
brough. in his behalf by the District division

Mr.. Geo. s. Atwa:er is chief consul or presi-

The L. A. W. is organized partially
for the purpose Of downing what
is known in the technology Of wheeling YER
nacular "a the .'road hog" and this action on
