Dakota Farming.

To the Editor:-I wish to speak a
few words through your paper in re-
gard to Dakota farming. There are
good many who have whistled the
right signal but have been switched
off on the wrong track, to be dashed to
pieces by the incoming train of sue
cess, by few jump-in-and- -grab-b
get-nothlng) men. These are the ones
who are killing one of the best states
in the union by trying to farm more
than they can work. 1t IS like man
getting an armful of wood. If he gets
one stick more than he can carry,
while rising he IS liable to lose the
whole armful.
Some men are stubbllng in their
crops farming, but if they only knew
it, it IS the dearest farming they ever
did. Stubbling only promotes the
growth of weeds, and above all those
Russian thistles, which, ifnot checked
will be the ruination Of good many
valuable farms.
If all farmers would plow their land
in the fall and harrow it down, there
would be less danger of weeds and
thistles, and better crops and cheaper
farming done. But there is no use of
one man trying to farm it, when his
neighbors are raising weeds and this
ties to blow over his crops and destroy
his farm.
Many a man has come to Dakota
thinking he was going to get rich in
little while, and has farmed it on ex-
pectation of a good crop, (Which he
couldn't do in any country and has
run through everything and IS now
blaming Dakota for his misfortunes.
While if he had farmed it as they
would in other countries, he would
have been all right and prosperlng to-
day. 1t takes good calculation as
we'll as an ingenious man to farm and
make it pay.-F. l.. c., in Groton In
dependent.

Judge Andrews OF the third judi
cial circuit has decided that all opera
tors of steam threshers who do not file
bonds cannot collect for threshing
done. This might be of interest to
steam thresher men in this part of the
state.
John H. Crawford, father of Com
missioner Crawford Of Grandview, ac-
companled by another son, arrived
from Nebraska Monday. Mr.. c. has
been gone a couple of years, and now
says he is entirely satisfied to stay in
Sully county.
The ordinance of baptism was ad-
mlnistered by Rev. H. P, Carson, Of
Scotland, at the Presby yterian services
last Sunday to number of persons,
who united with the church. A num-
ber were baptised and taken into the
church at the meeting held at the resi-
dence of III. E. Kimmel on Saturday
afternoon.
Halle, aged 2 years, I months
and Is days, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Clark
L. Howard, died at the home of his
parents IN Blunt last Saturday morn
ing, after lingering illness of several
months, and the remains were inferred
Sunday in the Blunt cemetery. The
many Sully county friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Howard deeply sympathize with
them in the loss of their only child.
w. P. Posten, of Aberdeen, general
agent for the Mccormick Machine Co.,
was in town Tuesday and appointed
A. A. Faust agent for Sully county for
the Mccormick machinery. Mr.. Faust
also has the agency for the J. l. Case
Thresher and the Craver header, and
when the season arrives will be ready
to furnish the farmers with some of
the best machinery on the market.
Circuit Judge Gaffy has decided
the famous Sullv county land cases in
favor of the plaintiffs and against T.
M. Simmons and Sheriff Smith, can
ceiling all sales made by Smith and
Faust. 1t is reported that Simmons
will appeal. If he does he will
be required to put up good security
for costs, which is about all the plain
tifs want under the circumstances, as
they have in the past had no means of
collecting costs from any one but
Smith, and there is no doubt about
what the decision will be by the Su-
preme Court Courts of justice gen
orally do not allow even Populist to
cancel an obligation of from 5000. 90
upwards for the sum Of $1,000, or an
officer to stepln and sell the property
of another for just enough to secure
his fees IN defiance of instructions not
to do so from all parties interested.
That may be the Populist idea of pay
ing debts or defrauding people out of
their property, but it wont stand law.
The lands traded off by Simmons for
his stock ofgoods are IN the list and in
these there was a double fraud per-
potrated; first in securing a Sheriff s
deed for $1,000, and second his trading
them to Iowa parties as clear land.
Simmons is Chairman of the Indepen-
dent State Committee. A judgment
will be entered up against Sheriff Smith
for the costs in all of the Is cases.

Trade are not by any means, however all
included in the question of railroad rates.
There are other vital issues, and among
them may be enumerated quarantine
charges, pilotage fees and port rates All
of these issues have been attacked by the
business men of Savannah. An ordinance
will be introduced at the next meeting of
the Savannah city council to abolish the
quarantine charges on vessels at the port
of Savannah. This is a move in the right
direction-that is in the direction OF re-
lieving the commerce of Savannah of ev-
cry obstacle in the way of its greatest
possible development. What action will
the city council of Charleston take
upon the same line2 The health of the
city must be securely guarded. but the
commerce of the port must at the same
time be fostered and encouraged in every
way.
A special committee is now engaged in
preparing a new pilotage fee bill for the
port of Charleston, and will soon be ready
TO report. Other committees are at work
on other lines, and it is believed that the
present agitation of commercial questions
will inevitably result in the growth and
development of Charleston. The COM
munity should stand together, work to-
gether, fight together. There is no room
for personal quarrels or little iealousies

ROUND ABOUT ORLANDO.
The Orange Trees Are Rich With
Many Blooms.

Many Blooms.
Orlando, Fla, June 14.-The Novelty
Works, an extensive woodworking estab-
lishment Of this place, has shut down for
few days in order to put in some new
and improved machinery.
Machinery for a new saw mill to be
erected at Forest City, was transported
to that place yesterday. The region about
Forest City is rapidly settling up.
At Maitland, in many of the orange
groves, the trees are putting.out heavy
bloom, especially the budded trees, many
of which are vast bouquets Of orange
blossoms. Such profusion is rarely seen,
even in the regular blooming season in
the months of February and March.
The Seeding trees are not showing many
blossoms, nor are they, as a rule, holding
much fruit from the early bloom. On
the whole, however, the crop promises to
be about as large as in other years Should
the blooms now out set any great proper
ton of fruit, the crop Of oranges will be
unusually heavy.
The committee having in charge the
arrangements for Fourth of July cele-
bration, are endeavoring 10 add regatta
to the otler attractions already booked.

Episcopal church, was to-day at special

The Armored Railway Train the Latest
Invention for Warfare.
From the Philadelphia Record.

invention Tor warfare.
From the Philadelphia Record
Movable coast defences in the form Of
an armored railway train were the SUBJ
iect of recent experiments on a branch
line Of the London, Brighton and South
Coast railway, in England. The train
consisted of au ordinary locomotive, two
cars for the men and specially con-
structed car with turn-table pivoted on
the center of its truck, upon which
40-pound gun and gun carriage were
mounted. The turn-table was protected
upon three sides by steel plating six
feet high, and the gun was fired through
an aperture in the plating, Various de-
vices for insuring the stability of the
train against the recoil of the gun were
abandoned as unnecessary. Eleven rounds
were fired seward, and in no case did
the recoll produce any disturbance Of the
car upon which the gun was mounted.
Neither was any strain on the track per-
ceptible.
While the gun is in action the extra
cars and the engine will remain protected
and concealed in cutting, the armored
car and gun being drawn out of action by
means of a steel hawser. There is no
limit to the thickness of the protective
armor around the gun, excepting the ca
pacity of the engine to draw the weight.
Indeed. a whole battery could be mounted
in the manner described, thus constitute
ing a veritable fort on wheels. There are,
of course drawbacks to the plan. The
enemy might effect landing and destroy
the track; but the utility Of the idea un-
der certain circumstances cannot be
doubted. The experiment conveys prac-
tical suggestion that should not be lost
sight of by our engineers and ordnance
officers

ing light chinehilla beard stepped in
from the street, took the tin cup that
stood near and poured out drink He
smacked his lips and poured out another
drink. Then he reflected that there was
a taste about the water that reminded
him of something. He took another
drink. A food of pleasing memories
were awakened by the third draught
He walked over TO where friend was
sitting, and whispered something to him
The friend got up and sampled the bar

left eye after downing the first cup. He
took another drink. The nervous twinkle
communicated itself to the right eye and
a look of serene satisfaction lighted Up
his face. He went back to his seat and
compared notes with the man who had
posted him.
BY this time every one in the room was
stricken with a great thirst. The ice
water convinced each man that it was
good to drink. The fame of the water
was communicated to the Bowery, and
there was soon a stream of weary pilgrims
stricken with the fever of long thirst
making tracks for the Young Mems
Christian Association barrel.
Some of these people were fresh from
the neighboring hostelries. Their taste
for ice water was not inherited 1t GER

stronger elements. The way they
smacked their lips over the free ice
water led the manager of the branch TO

GUYToN's FACTORY.
1t Will Soon Be Ready for operat-
ing


Guyton, June 1.-THE building for the
canning factory is completed and ready
for placing the machinery. The man
ayers of the company met this afternoon
and made the order, after considering the
bids of several parties who have given
prices for machinery.
Everything will be in readiness for
work in few weeks. But it has not been
fully decided to operate this season,
owing to the scarcity of fruits and vege-
tables, the season having been so IN
favorable for everything in that line.
The school picnic at the Ogeechee river
yesterday was well attended and enjoyed
