Mr.. Holman of Virginia, states that he
had neighbor who few years ago bought
100 sheep for $500, and that the first season
after the purchase he sold nearly enough
lambs and wool to pay the entire cost with
original flock left. Mr. Holman thinks that
no evidence is lacking TO prove the profita-
bleness of the business of sheep raising.

out, sod and ALL aud transplanted to pre-
over.
Ii a frost is threatened the plants can be
protected with pine straw. All this in
wolves considerable care, Of course, but if
success follows the compensation usually
will be adequate.
Another plan that we prefer to this. how
ever Is to have a number Of small frames.
nand frames, as they are called, and set
these on the soil that has been well pre-.
pared at distance of 5x5 feet These
frames are made of a size to allow Of being
covered by pane OF glass 12xl2 or 12xl5
inches.
The hills are made up and the frames set
on them some days-a week or two perhaps
before planting time in order to absorb as
much heat as possible before the seeds are
put in.
A mulching of pine straw around each
frame has the effect of preserving the heat
accumulated in the day time-the suns
rays penetrating the glass cover, and being
aosoroed oy the surrounding soil even out
SIDE the frame The mulch around the
frame has very decided effect in prevent
ing the radiation of this heat during the
heat.
Eight or ten seeds are planted in each hill
or frame. If practicable the water that is
used TO wet the frame soil at planting
should be warmed up 60 zoos. After the
seeds terminate the frame is lifted on all
warm days.
II all the seeds come up, in the course
OF week or SO, thin down to four or five,
but do not be in hurry to thin to three until
all danger Is over. Let two or three plants
grow to each hill.
These hand frames with care will last for
number Of years. They are made out of
or 1O-inch plank and 500 feet of lumber
costing so will make quite large number
OF them. If the glass is handled with care
there will not be much loss. and will not
lose much in value from use The expense
Is quite reasonable considering the possible
benefits
In field culture rows are laid off at feet
and then listed on. The fertilizer is spread
on each side of this list to a distance Of 2
feet and four burrows more ia thrown to the
list. making a bed 2115 or feet wide. Just
before planting this bed is narrowed and a
shallow drill drawn along its center.
Every or p feet two or three good seeds
are dropped, and a little soil pressed on
them with the foot in passing along.
When the plants get of good size thin
down to one. Give the middles a good
heaving out soon after the plants are up
and afterward sweeping or two according
as the weather warrants Keep ahead of
the plants, allowing no weeds to get a start.
Lay by as soon as the blooms appear. Cu-
cumbers should be cultivated very shallow.
They are oftentimes badly injured by deep
blowing done too late. Remember what an
early maturing plant it Is after its growth
is once started.

NEXT COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Candidates in the Field, Some of
Whom Wnl Be on the Next Board.

| Candidates in the Field, Some of
| Whom Wnl Be on the Next Board.
The question of the membership Of the
next board OF county commissioners appears
| TO be taking shape. Judging from the num-
| Der Of announcements made there will be
\ no lack Of good material for the next board.
| Mr.. J. s. Collins yesterday announced his
candidacy for the position OF commissioner.
mir. Collins il known as an enterprising
/ business man and good hnancier. and
| stands good chance OF being member OF
the next board. He will not enter into any
com binstion or seek TO secure the support Of
any clique or ring, he says
! Mr. J "A. g. Carson may also be considered
| positively in the race. Mr.. Carson is being
| urged upon all sides to make the race and 10
( is pretty safe to say that he will do so. He
will make his race upon the drainage issue.
DR.. J. b. Read is probably the only mem
Der Of the present board who will be a can
dldate before the people for reelection. DR..
Read stands high In the esteem OF the whole
community.
It may also be considered certainty that
Maj. J. L. Whatley will be candidate,
and very likely If a candidate, he will be
elected. There is no doubt Of Mai What
ley's ability 70 serve the county satisfao-
torily.
Mai g. N. Ryals in all likelihood will be

race for county commissioner. Maj. Ryals
would receive the strongest kind Of support.
and If elected would be at least the equal OF
any man on the board. 1t would be hard
TO find a man who can and would do more
work for the county as a commissioner
than Maj. Ryals.
These Eve men would make good strong
board.
There are other good men mentioned,
however. DR.. Harris Is being urged by his
friends, but has not made up his mind to
make the race yet.
P. D. DafIin, J. J. Dale, W. g. Lathrop,
r. p Lowell, A r. Fawcett and Others are
mentioned for the position. Mr.. C. +.
Prendergast may be candidate.

TO nominate the county commissioners by

are not nominated.

have charge of the business interests Of the
county should be selected by the intelligent
voters Of the county, and in such way
that the rights Of the property owners will

The men who viii handle the finances of

men in every respect, and their selection
should not be left to a general election,

A CAMPAIGN CLUB ORGANIZED.

1t VIII Favor the Best Men for the
Ofnces and Good Government.
A campaign club was organized last night
at Armory hall that is probably destined to
be an important factor in the ensuing
county and city elections. The purpose Of
the organization, 1t is understood, 6
to unite all citizens who are
opposed to self-constituted candidates
and their hackers taking possession of the
offices in the gift Of the people. The meet
ing last night at ArmOrY hall, though only
preliminary TO more thorough orgeniza-
ton, was attended by all classes Of citizens,
and lively interest was manifested by
those present. Active work, it is said, may
be expected against the ring that has
lately developed well-cOncelved plan TO
take control of political affairs In the COM
munity. The campaign club last night took
steps to perfect its organization and keep on
guard until the now impending contests are
over. All who are in favor of the people
and not clique railing will be asked to
help the club in its efforts.
The club, it is understood, will take an
active part in both municipal and county
elections. The club is believed to be in
sympathy with the McDonough administra-
ton, but is not MoDonouGh club by any
means. 1t will endeavor to unite al
elements desiring good government
upon some candidate who will
meet the approval of all good citizens. IL
will not undertake to dictate the eldermanic
board further than indoFsing those candi-
dates who are In sympathy with its OBJ
iects.
Ii will pursue the same course with regard
to county commissioners.
The campaign club is the latest sensation

! Morning News That the Money is in
Bank With Which to Build-The
| Engineers Now Out on the Line
The Work 20 be of the Most APP
proved Character.
The Florida Central and Peninsular PEG
pie evidently mean business. The following
telegram received by the MORNING NEWS
yesterday from President H. R. Duval in
New York Is evidence of this fact:
Please contradict rumors that Florida Central
and Peninsular will not extend to Savannah i'm
mediately, and say that all arrangements to
make the extension are perfected and the money
to pay for 1t in bank
H. R. DUvAL, President
1t will be noticed that President Duval
says the money is In bank with which to
build the road. To those who have regarded
the completion Of the road as doubtful this
should be sufficient evidence. Savannah
may now consider herself as assured of an
other railway southwark.
President Duval spent the summer in
Europe with capitalists who are interested
In the Florida Central and Peninsular rail-
road, and is believed to have made arrange
ments there to secure all the money needed
THE ENGINEERS AT WORK.
The preliminary survey of the road from
Savannah to Harris station has already
been completed by Maj. Thomas B. Lee and
his assistants, and engineers are now scat
tered over the line laying out the work for
the contractors. The contract has been let
TO the New York Construction Company Of
New York city.
Maj. Green OF Alexandria, Va, who will
have charge Of the engineering work upon
the line, is expected in Savannah the latter
part Of the week. Maj. Green In now in
New York comforting with the construction
company.
GOOD PROSPECT FOR SAVANNAH.
There is no doubt now that the construc-
ton Of the Florida Central and Peninsular,
or the South Bound extension as it will be
known from Savannah to Jacksonville,
will be begun at an early date and will be
pushed rapidly. Railroad men who have
been informed as to the nature Of the con-
tract with the construction company say
that it provides that the construction is TO
be OF the most approved character, with
steel bridges, 70-pound steel rail and smooth,
solid roadbed. No faulty construction will
be allowed. With two first-class lines, with
Savannah as their chief traffic point and
connection extending from New York to
Florida, Savannah will be in it surely.

A Small Negro Boy Meets With a
Fatal Accident

A Small Negro Boy Meets With a
Fatal Accident.
Willie Grant, colored boy between and
9years old, was fatally injured yesterday
afternoon about $3.50 o'clock on the Savan-
nah Florida and Western railroad near
Bilbe canal bridge. 1t is not known ex-
actly how the accident happened, but just
as switch engine No. 2 passed down the
track young Grant was seen lying near the
track with both legs terribly mashed, SO
much so that they hung together by mere
tissue of flesh.
A police ambulance was telephoned for,
but before it arrived the railroad authors
ties took charge of the boy and had him
sent to his home on First avenue, near East
Broad street DR.. 7. J. Charlton was sent
for by the railroad to attend to the boy,
but the loss Of blood and the shoek was SO
severe that he died later in the evening. IL
is thought that he was stealing a ride and
fell from the cars, as none of the train
hands saw him until after the accident had
happened.
