Melville f. stones Splendid Work,

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, March 9.-The
Springfield Union tomorrow morning will
say: THE history of newspapers in this
country or any other country does not
record so great an achievement as that of
Melville +. Stone. general manager of the
Associated Press, who, in six months, es-
tablished a ws-gathering organization
greater than any that has ever existed. Mr..
Stone sails for Europe to-day for a much
needed vacation. When he was appointed
general manager of the Associated Press
that organization had not single paper in
the East, and in the West such strong pa
pers as the Chicago Herald and Tribune
Louisville Courier-Journal and many others
were with the United Press To-day every
paper in the West that the Associated Press
will permit to receive a service is a men,
Der or client OF the Associated Press. and
in the East large majority Of the leading
papers have left the United Press and
Joined the Associated Press. New England
is the weakest point, and in New England
the Associated Press has one-third of the
papers. The record is n magnificent one
and Mr.. Stone has earned the rest he is
about to take. SO we'll has his work been
done that there is little doubt in the mind
of any one that on his return the last paper
in the East that can be admitted will long
before have Joined the Associated Press"

JACKSON'S CONDITION

His Chest Larger and Expansion Great

NEW YORK, March 9.-Peter Jackson
was examined and measured by DR.. John
Wilson Gibbs in his office to-day. DR.. Gibbs
found Jackson to be in good physical COR
dition with the exception Of a slight cough,
due to an attack Of the grip.
A comparison of the measurements shows
that Corbett has the better of 1T in size of
the biceps Jackson has the larger chest
and a greater expansion. He once won the
amateur diving championship of Australia,
going seventy yards below the water in
fifty-eight seconds. Corbett has always been
considered to have a long reach, but il is
nothing compared to Peters. Jackson ap-
peared to have fine shoulder development
The muscles started from his neck and
stood out hard and firm. DR.. Gibbs exam
ined the pugilist to see IL there were any
traces of blood disease, but found none.
Jackson looked better than when here last
His eye was clear and his skin seemed
smooth and elastic. He did not have much
superfluous flesh, and DR.. Gibbs remarked
that he would not have to take off much
TO get in condition.
Peter said he could not tell at what
weight he would fight Perhaps 1875 pounds
would not be out of the way as a guess
on the subject. Jackson told the Doctor
that the nose bleeding to which he was
formerly subject had stopped entirely. He
regards himself as in perfect condition. DR..
Gibbs is an enthusiastic admirer Of the coll
ored pugilist and thinks he will win sure.

POLITICS AT A DISCOUNT.
The Farmers of Washington County
Improving Their Farms and Stock.

Sandersville, Ga, July 22.-The politi-
cal situation is not disturbing the farmers
of Washington county to any considerable
extent, and many of them who have
progressive ideas and are reaching out
for better things, have determined to
give more attention 20 the improvement
of their crops. George Gilmore is raising
a variety of field peas which make a
dense foliage, completely covering the
fields in which they are planted, and are
very valuable from the fact that they add
materially to the fertility of the soil.
They never need a second planting
after maturing, as they will lie
in the ground all winter and come up in
the following spring. He states that
nothing equals them for grain fields
When grain is harvested in the spring
the peas spring up and make an abund-
ant crop without any cultivation.
Mr.. j. B. Stephens of Tennille, showed
the MORNING News correspondent to-day
a sample of golden sheaf oats, which he
has been successfully cultivating for the
past eighteen years. From six acres this
spring he harvested $50 bushels,
or nearly AZ bushels per acre.
Had the seasons been more
favorable he believes the yield would
have been one-third larger, or about
SlAby buSHclS per acre. III Is rust PROOF
and is undoubtedly the finest in this sec
ton if not in the state. This variety is
cultivated by him 10 the exclusion Of all
others, as the yield is much larger and
the crop is surer.
An improved variety of cotton is also
being raised by w. c. Knight. who lives
near Sandersville, which is claimed to be
the equal of any of the fine varieties.
Besides the improvement in field crops.
there is also cOmmendable interest
being manifested in the development OF
live stock and an estimate has been made.
by those competent 10 Judge, that there
are no less than 800 colts being raised in
Washington county. The annual colt
show Of this county will be held In
Sanderayille on the first Tuesday ia
August, and some OF the finest blooded
stock Ia Georgia viii be on exhibition.
