lHuCA-appCdl.
Do not let the pillow rust in the
furrow this month. Stir the soil often
and keep the weeds down. Plant the
bottom corn and the new ground at
once. Plant beans and field pease,
black most prolific and and best of
all. Cut rye, clover, oats, wheat.
Shear sheep without delay. Finish the
sweet potato and tobacco early in this
month. Remove scions from fruit
trees. Use plaster freely in the stables.
Now burdock and other pestiferous
weeds in untitled fields, to prevent
going to seed. Gather material for
compost. Top dress clover, corn,
peanuts, etc, with plaster. Burn the
old hog beds, and smear the pigs with
a mixture of tar and sturgeon oil or
other grease. Keep the poultry houses
thoroughly clean, and we'll busted with
dry dirt. End of month, plant Irish
potatoes for last or second crop. Cut
bushes in pastures, new ground, etc.
Allow no standing or stagnant water
about dwelling, kitchen, stables, or
we'll, and look we'll TO the condition OF
the we'll if you desire your family to
continue we'll. You may take this as
pun, but being sick is no fun. Don't
sleep late mornings, but take good
long mornings.

harvested The seed are planted late

Cucumbers should always be cut, never
pulled, SO as to have a portion of the
stem attached. The vines should not
be handled when wet with dew. If
not shipped at once. or sold to pick

strong brine and kept under the brine

Shell lime is merely shells burned.
Rock lime or Acne lime is the crude
limestone after it has been burnt The
combination in all the crude materials
is carbonate of lime, which by the ac-
ton of heat is changed to the oxide Of

also the caustic lime. Mari contains
refuse of shells and consequently has a
varying percentage of carbonate OF

THE INFAMY CONDONED.
[CharlOtte Observer. !

Take one thing with another and
Senator Mills, of Texas, will do about
as well to tie to as any of them. We
are thinking just now Of his remarks
the other day when the Senate adopted
unanimously the resolution which
closed the Hawaiian incident-the
resolution declaring that it belongs
wholly to the people of those islands
to establish and maintain their own
form of government and domestic
policy, that the United States ought
not in any way to interfere Herewith,
and that any Intervention in the
political affairs of those islands by any
other government would be regarded
as an act unfriendly to the United
States. The telegraph has told us that
after the vote was taken Mr.. Mills said
that if he had been paired he would
have voted "No," not because he did
not recognize the rights OF the people
of Hawaii to institute their own govern
ments, as they pleased, but the govern
ment of the United States having over
turned the government of Hawaii, and
having put the Hawaiian people under
a military power against which they
could not protect themselves, it was its
duty to tear down an oligarchy estab-
lished by force, and permit the people
of the Hawaiian Islands to establish
their own government.
The best of people differ about this
matter. Many good people do not
regard an act of infamy perpetrated
by one government upon weaker as
they regard the despoiling of small
man by great-a poor man by rich
one. France, for instance, has lost
nothing in public estimation by reason
of having bullied Siam, two years ago,
and robbed her unblushingly, of part
of her territory; and SO the world
seems to think nothing less of the
United States for having overthrown
the immemorial government of Hawaii
and replaced it with one of carpet
baggers and aliens, the most of whom
yet have their citizenship with its
attendant right to vote, in the United
States. 90, well,' people say, "the
Siamese are heather and the Hawaiian
are but semi civilized-what difference
does it make ?"
The incidents are closed and it isn't
worth while to say anything more
about them further than that the
policy of the United States in dealing
with Hawaii has been perfectly infa-
nous and that as matter of common
honesty between man and man and
nation and nation Mr.. Mills, of Texas,
is eternally right.

Lynching Too Good for Them.

Dan Belts, Sylvester Cisco, John
Harter and Boyd Boughton were ar
rested at Grover Hill, o., for assaulting
Flora Sweeter, a 13-year-old girl living
three miles southwest of Grover Hill.
John Harter called for the girl, telling
the parents that he would take her to
a dance and bring her home at II p. III.
On his way to Grover Hill he forcibly
assaulted her. He then brought her
to the livery barn of Sylvester Cisco,
at Grover Hill, where the three other
men were, and there, between S and
10, she was repeatedly assaulted by
these four men. Harter and Belts
then took the girl and drove TO a dense
wood near town and remained there
till noon next day, continuing their
cruel treatment. The assaults have
FRUSTRATED the girl and she can hardly
live. Her parents are poor. The citi-
zens swear if the men are released on
bond they will suffer lynch law. Four
other persons are said to be implicated,
but as yet have not been apprehended.

At the Japanese Legation.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-At the Jap
anese legation today no official confirma-
ton of the reported Japanese invasion of
Manchuria and the reported decisive vic
tory of the Japanese near Moukden, the
capital of the Chinese province, could be
obtained. 1t was pointed out, however,
the invasion of Manchuria would be the
direct result of the Japanese victory at
Ping Yang, and the diplomats were will
ing to credit the news of victory. The
report from Paris of the provisional
agreement between Russia and China,
said to have been effected in July, by
which Russia agrees not to cross the
Sir-i-Kol, was regarded as possible if not
probable, although the fact of its having
been kept 80 long secret was believed
to initiate against its authenticity. 1t
was said, however, such an agreement
made just as the trouble between China
and Japan was being precipitated, had
no bearing on that struggle and was
probably simply provisional settlement
of the Pamirian question which long has
been a bone of contention.
