 Abbeville, July 27. Governor Oates, Montgomery. Ala:
 Dear Sir: I have just noticed an open communication in the press rom Coii- missioner Lane to yourself Tn Whlch ne severely criticises the agriculturai schools of the state. Captain Lane has certainly been mls- informed in regard to the Abbeville school -..
 1. That they have never issued pull letin or reported an experiment,
 g. That agriculture is not Tn the cur. riculum of any of the sehools eNecp' a' the one at UniontoWn.
 2. That none of them have an agricul- turist in their faculty.
 A. That they are of no more penent ,o the farming classes than any local pupiic school, .,s. Permit me to attempt to answer these charges in detail. In reply to the first will say that bull letins have been issued and will be from time to time. Experiments have been made every year since the school was first established, and are kept on hle Experiments are being made this year with corn, cotton, grasses, topacco anu fertilizers. 2. Agriculture has always peeH 'ooeh' here. 3, The school has always had agricui- turists in charge of the experiment. sla- tion. all of whom graduated in the agrl- culture course at Auburn. The f1rst was Professor Washington. next Professor Gillis and then myself 4. This last scholastic year we enrolled PAP pupils, eighty-six of them boarders. A large majority of these were the sons and daughters of farmers. Yet MT. Lane says the schools are of no more beneht to the farmer than any local public school Of course, can only answer in regard to the school at Abbeville.
 hope you will take no action until the matter has been investigated thoroughly.

CYCLING NOTES.

The pretty girl in boomers gay
 Goes out upon her wheel,
 And rides along the broad highway
 Her graces to reveal.
 And all who note her as she flies,
 Her sweet smile seem to beg,
 As to the youths admiling eyes
 She shows a shapely limb.
 She is symphony astride
 "A wheel that all dellghts:
 This year she rides in boomers wide,
 Next year she'll ride in tights.
 --Boston Courier. There was a rilrnor that a big cycling deal was on foot in this city, and it will probably be consummated some day this week. If it goes through Birmingham will be a center of manufacture for bl- cycles for he southern territory.
 Much interest is being taken in cycling in the southern cities, where the people are just beginning to realize the impor- tance and convenience of the "byke." Birmingham has over 600 wheel owners within her limits. and the League of American Wheelmen should make a stronger showing.
 Meridian, Miss. is coming to the front with a grand bicycle tournament. An
 
 The boys expect to make show which will be an eye-opener even to the scorehers The boys have gotten out a neatly printed dodger. which has been scattered broadcast, and starts out with this unique bit of verse:
 There's going to be some racing, boys, So get yourselves in shape. Such priZes-gemS and nuggets, For the first to cross the tape. You never ventured racing, eh? What odds, friendsi take a whack, Get the siekest wheel that spins
 And take some prizes back.
 
 Tn a letter to the Age Herald Mr John E. Conzne. president of the Meridian league of American Wheelmen, says that Ed Warren.

Fontaine's record of 376 miles. In twelve hours. distance PIT miles, Holbein was four miles inside A. A. Chase's rec ord. two miles inside Brookbanks' ques- tioned record, and four miles outside Hol- bein and Stocks tandem record. Re- turning from Bedford, Holbein went three miles out of the way, but as one mile was covered twice. only two will probably count The pacing, managed by & r. Edge and J. w.
