A LIVELY FIGHT
Between Two Rivals Factions Down
at Savannah.
TWO WEEKS BATTLE AT AN END.
Hundreds of Toughs Hired at
Large Cost to Wage an IN
ceasing Battle About the Office
OF the City Collector-A Dis
graceful State of Affairs.

SAVANNAH, GA, December 16.-Two
factional Democratic candidates are in
the field for the mayoralty, the elec-
tion taking place In January. Under
the first use of the Australian ballot
system here no one can vote who has
not paid all taxes, including those of
this year, and registered. This pro-
vision led to 8 wild scramble at frst,
and then pitched battles daily be-
tween large forces for choice positions
in the line to the tax collectors offices.
He could issue only about 200 receipts
day, aud as the registration closed
Saturday, it was inevitable that many
citizens
WOULD BE SHUT OUT.
The two factions hired two gangs OF
toughs, each numbering about one hun
dred men, including the most desperate
whites and negroes of the city. These
men were paid from S5 to SO day.
To each was given list Of six names,
the largest nun ber the collector would
accept taxes for from one person and
the money to pay their taxes With.
Each morning for ten days past the two
armies Of political mercenaries have
sluggsd each other in front of, and in
side the Court House, hundreds OF citi-
zens gathering from ali parts of the city
daily
TO WITNESS THE BIG MILLS.
For two weeks at least no citizen paid
taxes for himself, all entrusting their
names and money to the hired heelers.
At times nearly the entire police force
of the city had TO be called ont 10 es-
tabish order and for over a week the
presence of about forty policemen has
been constantly required at the tax col
lector's office. The armies OF heelers
were fed at the rival headquarters,
where many OF them remained all night,
going out early each morning to resume
the battle; and at the court house where
beer, whisky, coffee and sandwiches
were given them. Two or three times
a day a number Of the workers
SKIPPED WITH THEIR LISTS AND MONEY,
disfranchising many citizens. 1t Is cal
culated that the cost of keeping up the
two armies, which In the last few days
had been increased to about three hum
dred to fight for poll tax receipts, was
over $4,000. They were disoanded
early this morning. The next Legisla-
ture will be appealed to to amend the
law so as to prevent any repetition OF
these scenes.

Spraying potatoes" is the title OF
pertinent station at Burlington, which
has lust come to hand 1t is 10 page
pamphlet containing a number Of illus
trations showing the character OF the
potato blights, andithe effect "l spraying
upon the yields and size of potatoes. A
spraying cart for the ready application
Of iungicides is also illustrated. The
bulletin is summarized on the first page
in plain black type. and table OF sug-
gestions shows how to make and apply
the Bordeaux mixture and where to OBJ
tain spraying machinery. The main
points brought out in the bulletin are:
!. That two distinct blights attack
Vermont potatoes.
2. That both are more thoroughly
checked by spraying with Bordeaux mix
turc than by any other means.
). That the greatest gain III spraying
is due to prolonging the life OF the plant
enabling it thus to grow more and better
potatoes.
:. That potatoes planted in the middle
of May were kept free OF disease with less
spraying than those planted earlier. and
have also given the largest Yields.
5. That spraying large fields is best
done with cart.
All bulletins and reports of the station
are sent free Ot charge to any address on
application.
The above sent to us from the expert
ment station at Burlington is OF great
interest to our farmers. Many farmers
lose one halt their potato and applecrops
by rust and insects. and if they can save
them By these methods it is well worth
their attention. Don't plant more, but
take better care of what you do plant

Good Roads.

During the bad weather of the
present season, the necessity for
road Improvement should be
patent to every dweller in the
country districts who is not for
tunate enough to live upon a
turnpike leading to his market
town-and the great majority of
American farmers do not. Ex-
.cept when there is a sleighing
snow, the roads are impossible
for loaded teams. 1t must be
that lifelong familiarity with
bad, roads has led many to accept
the situation as beyond remedy;
otherwise there would be a de-
mand for better roads, which
would result in prompt action.
In a recent letter printed in the
Columbus Dispatch, Mr.. Edgar,
a noted traveller, discusses the
splendid roads in some parts of
Europe. Referring to those of
Austria, he says:
Not so many years ago Austria built
nearly 1000 miles of stone highway up
mud Inx.,1 al - 4 r -.
or Austrian Poland. Previous to that
time, materially n no more wretched,
God-'orsakcn land existed on the face OF
the earth. In less than ten years time
these roads did more for 5000, 900 peo-
pie OF Austrian Poland in material and
social advancement than all the churches
all the books, all the newspapers, all the
battles, all the railways and the govern,
ment had ever accomplished for them.
That is to say, good roads
brought the isolated dwellers in.
to closer community of interest
and rendered progress possible
They intermingled, commercially
and socially; they fused into one
great community, instead of ar
aggregation of lonely families
gut off from intercourse with
each other by the lack of prope,
highways. One of the reason.
most frequently given for thu
drift of people from the country
into the cities is theloneliness an,
narrowness of life in sparsel,
settled regions. The gregariou
