After Professor Sage had explained i'm
Il lucid way his theories and ideas
about hypnotism he called for subjects
and twonty-siX volunteers went upon
the stage Of these he succeeded in
putting seventeen under the influence
and ahout eight were developed into
good subjects. They furnished great
amusement for the audience, besides
proving the SagCs great control over
them.
one of Professor Sage's feats was to
PUT his manager Mir. Adkins, under
the influence and then shove hat pins
through the flesh of the wrist and
checks without causing pain or the loss
Of anv blood.

When the power takes hold of the peo-

BENEFITS OF COARSE MANURE.
when coarse manure Is spread
on the soil, the benefits are not re-
ceived until the next season, as it
Is necessary for the substances
composing the manure to thor
oughly decompose before they can
become available; therefore the
manure heap of this year is really
the preparing of the plant food for
next season. When fresh manure,
however, is spread on the land, and
been worked into the soil with a
cultivator, it may be ready for use
before the crop natures, and thus
assist in filling out the grain, but
any coarse material in the manure
will remain in the ground until
next year. The soil absorbs and
holds ammonia, thus preventing
loss, and especially if the manure
is intimately incorporated with
the soil. The amount of rainfall
and warmth will also affect the de-
composition of manure in the soil,
while lime also assists In fastening
It's conversion into plant food. It
Is necessary when using manure to
keep in view the fact that it must
be in proper condition to immedi-
ately supply the plants with availa-

Alliance, Saturday, August 1, the

WHEREAS, The Alliance was or
gained for the protection of the
tillers of the soil against the un-
just encroachment of monopolies
and combines, and to further our
interests socially and financially ;
and whereas, the hydra-headed
monster has again shown his hand
in the form of the cotton-tie trust,
thus advancing the price of cotton
ties n~inety-fve per cent. from last
years price
Resolved, LIST, That we the men,
bers of Leesville Alliance will not
use any cotton ties at an advance
from last years price.
Resolved, End, That we earnest
ly solicit the aid of all who do not
favor the levying of a hundred
fold tribute to be paid to the North
ern Shylocks by the tillers of the
cotton fields of the South.
Resolved, Bird, That we respect
fully ask the merchants of the
county not to buy cotton ties at
an advanced price and thus assist
the yeomany of the country with
the motto, equal rights to all
and special privileges to none"
