ment Mr.. Flake brings against Kestler-
for signing his name without his consent
to document he had never seen. 1t
is such methods that characterizes the
Pritchard Populists, who are really as
much Republican as Pritchard unless,
indeed, they have been bought by Hanna S
money.
The fight for Railroad Commissioner is
hot between Walton, Of Burke; White,
of Alamance, and Mason, of Orange. The
Republicans are fighting Mr.. Mason on
the ground that he is an advocate of free
coinage at the ratio of 16 to /. One of
them said yesterday: mason is not only
a silver man, but q consistent one and
voted against James A. Cheek, the Re
publican nominee for the Senate because
he was a sound money Republican. 1t
was through his efforts that Cheek was
defeated"
Most people lost interest yesterday in
the Senatorial fight, regarding the Popu-
list bolt as evidence that Pritchard would
win. But there were not wanting Popu-
hsts-and plenty Of them-and some
Republicans who believed that somehow
or other Butler would win the fight.
Pritchard, who had been jubilant Friday
night when his henchmen marched out
of the Populist caucus and into the Re-
publican party, is still confident but has
his strikers kept as steadily at work as
Ii the bolt had not already taken place.
Mr. Walter E. Moore, OF Jackson, has
arrived already so as to be in time for
the session Of the Grand Lodge this week.
Mr.. Moore is always sure of a warm well
come in Raleigh. He served as a member
OF the House in 1893, and was the Demo
cratic nominee in 1896 The vote was
tie. There is a story that Mr.. Moore
would have been elected if he had voted
for himself, and as to the later election,
1T was simple matter Of bargain and
sale. 1t cost Pritchard's hackers $1,000
to carry the county.

larger the amount of straw used.
This is explained by the fact
stated above that straw contains
organisms which convert the
available nitrogen in manures and
in the soil into forms which the
plant cannot utilize. The excess
i've use of straw as litter under
animals should therefore be Gaze
fully avoided if the most effective

Winter Grain After Potatoes.

Wherever the potato crop can
be got off in time for seeding with
fall grain it makes the very best
seed bed, according to American
Cultivator. mo plowing is need
ed if the weeds have been kept
down. 1t is only necessary to
pile the potato vines in heaps
and burn them, starting the fire
in a brush heap,if the potato tops
are too green to burn readily. A
great deal of Plant food is devel-
oped after growing a crop of po-
tatoes. II is largely nitrogenous,
as the potato crop is chiefly water
and carbon, with some potash,
which is mostly found in the po-

prevail.
1t is reported that the Florida

100000 and 100000 boxes.
The practice of fodder pulling

Best Time to Sow Rye.

Time is regulated somewhat by
latitude and elevation above sea
level. Dixie Farmer says The
warmer the locality, the later it
should be sown. In such local
ties early sown rye is liable to be
attacked by rust. In middle Geor-
gia the first week in September
is a good time. In the northern
portion of the state it may be
sown in August, and in southern
Georgia the lst of October. For
raising seed a half bushel to the
acre is sufficient, for pasture or

The Autumn Crops.

The first question TO be con
sidcred is, What should be EN-
braced in the list of autumn
crops Here is what Southern
Cultivator says in reply
Oats stands first and foremost
in the list, because they can be
sown IN every part of the cotton
states irrespective of climate or
soil and because they should con
stitute the leading grain for work
animals. Next in importance is
rye, because it can be sown also
universally and is beyond com
parison the most reliable crop for
winter grazing and soiling in
early spring. For similar but not
quite so strong reasons we should
place barley, then wheat, then, in

Ripe Tomatoes for Christmas.

fruit from the vines and carefully
wrap each one separately in a 6

per, taking care not to twist il as
in packing oranges. Spread out
in a single layer on trays or i'm
shallow boxes and place in par
tial light in. a cellar. To hasten
ripemng they may occasionally

hour at the time. Once a week |
examine and pick out the red
ones and those that may decay.
This may be done easily, not ne

Blanching Celery.
The old method of planting
celery in trenches and blanching
the stalks by piling soil around
them is not much prac!iced now.
Various eXpedients have been de.
vised to blanch celery cheaply.
Much the best we know is to
have the celery planted as nearly
as possible on a level surface.
When the stalks are large enough,
place wide boards against the
celery, holding them from falling
by piling soil against the outside
of the board protection. This
will blanch the stalks and leaves
without causing rust, as soil is
sure to do in rainy season.

Fall SOwn Wheat.
"A big acreage of fall sown
wheat is being planned for by
many farmers. American Agri-
culturist says in this connection

pective high prices will probably
stimulate an enormous sowing of
wheat this fall and next spring,
not only in the United States but
throughout the world. Just this
was done after the high prices of
1912, and it caused worlds
overproduction of wheat which
has just been reduced to normal
proportions by a short crop in

BUTTERFLY MAY COST $4,000.
Springer Shot it to Pieces as IL Rested
or Bercer's Boot.

New York, April "A butterfly was
the primary cause of suit for 5000 dam
ages brought before Justice Dickey i'm the
supreme Court at Long Island City yes
terday.
Charles Berger, then 20 years old, sat
on the stoop OF his parents house at
Steinway avenue and the shore road on
.July2, 1895, chatting with Freddie Sprague.
The butterfly here entered upon the scene
and settled ON the toe of Bcrgcr's boot.
At this juncturc Henry Springer, eight
ecn-year-old son OF Rudolph Springer an
engineer, living on Steinway avenue, join
ed Berger, Spaguc and the butterfly.
Springer eyed the butterfly critically and
asked
Say, can / have IA crack at that!'
Sure, " replied Berger.
Springer drew a toy pistol and pulled
the trigger. The butterfly was scattered
all over the scene, but the buller found "a
resting place in Bcrgcr's big toe.
In court yesterday Berger told how
much pain tho injured toe had given him,
and swore that no was untitled for his
work as driver thereby. He was very
indignant TO think that counsel for the
defence could imagine that he gave his
consent to be shot at.
The case was given To the jury, but ono
of them, Henry Spellman, of Buckley
avenue, Long Island City, was taken i'll
aud had To be sent homo in coach. A
sealed verdict will be handed in to-
morrow.
