We have studied "Bug0LO9y;" viewed
bugs in many ways and forms, but the
greatest bug we've heard of lately, is
the hum bag in the Evergreen neighbor-
curing(H) the people or all manner of
diseases. One lady there, who is in the
last stage of consumption, and who has
been under the treatment of one of the
best physicians in the county, besides
having medical advice from Nashville,
has placed her case in this doctors"
hands, and he is actually making the
woman believe that she is recovering,
while ne is taking her disease. Another
person has the paralysis, and the doctor
has thumped about the patient until he
is taking the disease upon himself.
There are other cases we could mention,
giving the names of all. The "doctor,"
now, is a regular bag of disease; he
limps, he coughs and expectorates, and
Coasts forth" and does all manner OF
things for his patients. OF course they
pay him we'll to do this. He not only
pretends to cure the sick but says he
has about succeeded in driving away
the "spooks" from Mr.. Tom Hobbs
house-the "spirits" that created such
an excitement not long since.
Superstition is revived, and, now and

which gulps down without the slightest

special Liquidation win Ne Needed.
THE news from Paris that . CONNER
cial treaty with the United States has
been drafted, has not been denied 1t
Washington. 1t will be, however,
general treaty. which will require rati.
hcstion by the Senate and legislation
by the House to make it effective. The
reciprocity clause of the Mckinley bill
IL too narrow to furnish the basis OF I
reciprocal trade arrangement. Unlike
Germany, France does not produce beet
sugar, and its exports OF coffee, tea,
and hides to the United States are not
worth estimating. So to insure genuine
reciprocity a full treaty is expected.
When the French government forced
through the Senate the removal Of the
embargo on American pork it was per-
fcctly understood that the United States
would not be satisfied with this because
the duty, OF moro than ~ cents per
pound was almost prohibitory. The
statement made was that when the re-
strictions were once formally removed
by the concurrent action OF the Cham
Der Of Deputies and the Senate the gov.
ernment would apply itself towards Sc.
curing . reduction OF the duty. II
wants to get its silks, wines and other
products into the United States on more
favorable terms than its rivals. To do
this 1t Is willing to reduce the duty on
American cereals, breadstufs and meat
products. The agricultural interests in
France, which sre strongly protective,
have hitherto opposed any reduc ton in
the duties on agricultural imports. But
the same agricultural communities are
deeply concerned to enlarge the market
for wines and kindred exports in the
United States. So il is believed that as
matter of domestic policy the French
government can secure popular support
for . treaty with the United States.

ing the beets and testing their sugar
producing qualities were not only on .
fairly large scale, but were conducted
In the most practical and thorough
manner. The result surpassed the most
saLguinc expectations, particularly with
regard to the yield. The crop of sugar
beets raised 1T schuyler exceeded tho
European experimental yields fully i've
tons per acre, and slightly surpassed
them In sugar. There was over IL per
cent Of sugar In the whole crop. The
experiments demonstrated that farmers
can raise on the average ffteen tons Of
beets per acre at cost Of 1925 per ton
delivered ut the factory. The ntnim1m
price is - per ton but the average 10
about $3.50. The profit will thus bs
seen 90 be about SIS per aero, after o.

The cost TO Europesn farmers 10 con-
siderably less for wages, but the value
Of their land is greater and they are
