Two White Caps Shot Dead by Me-
gr0es In Georgia
FoRT VALLEY, Ga, March 28. White
Caps attacked the negro quarters at s.
III. Barrett's plantation Saturday night
and the inmates fed. Mr.. Barrett left
his house, met the trespassers in the
darkness and forbade them to go any
further. The White Caps disregarded
the order and would have continued
their search, when several OF the ne
groes, who were concealed near by,
opened fire on the intruders and shot
two of them dead in their tracks. They
were William Hatchet and Mart Bry-
ant. The others fed. The coroner's
verdict was justifiable homicide.

Battle.

PARIS, Tex, March 28.--The situa-

nation. is regarded as critical and it is
feared nothing can prevent conflict.
The militia force of 80 men is camped
near town waiting for reinforcements
which are hurrying to them and will
raise their force to 300 men. They claim
to have processes for V. M. Locke and
Albert jackson. citizens of Antlers. who
were the leaders of the jackson party
in the recent gubernatorial fight, but
were defeated by Jones. Locke and
Jackson say that to surrender to Jones
so-called militia means that their lives
are ended, so they have rallied their
friends and followers and will make a
stubborn resistance.

How Water Gets Into Tile.

Professor j. NJ. Bloss of the On
tario state college gives in a recent
lecture on tile draining. some true
and some false theories. He claims
that water does not come through
the tops of tile, but from the bottom
where the ends come together. This
is generally true. though in
. severe rain storm, when the
soil is drenched with water.
some of it is washed through the
cracks overhead, and to guard against
this . coarse gravel ought to cover
these joints SO as to hold the fine silt
that will otherwise spoil the drain.
But some water may and does soak
through the tile when the ground is
saturated. and in denying this the
professor is in the wrong. He says
that porus tile ought not to be used.
arguing that it will dissolve by action
of the water. It will il frost gets to
it, otherwise not If the ground is firm
it Is better to lay horseshoe tile than
sole tile. In that case nearly all the
water will rise up into the channel
from beneath. We have often laid
horseshoe tile in soil where there
were occasional springs in the bot
tom of the drain. 1t is best in such
cases to lay long. fiat stones on
either side of tie drain. wide enough
for the tile to rest on. and long
enough to reach past the spring 70
fii4n soil on either side. Drains thus
laid forty years ago are doing good
service. only showing action OF frost
ut the outlets, where the water in
porous tile sometimes froze in very
cold weather. Glazed tile are need
lessly expensive. and do not drain SO

ends. 10 used for city sewers. but
such pipes are no good for draining
