how and when to sow; how and when
to pillow under. Is there danger OF

and when should it be plowed under
to prevent this? Is the following way
a good one, or is there a better way
Sow rye into the corn early in the fall,
and the following spring.. when in full
bloom, pillow it under, and prepare the
ground and SOW COW, or field peas, ana
when these are in full bloom, turn
these under also; or do you think THIS
would be too much of the good thing !!
Would you SOW wheat in the fall, or
let it lie until spring and plant
to corn. Give reasons why? Does IL

DR. Alexander, Senator from Mecklen-

shis family, has returned and was in his
seat Yesterday. He shares the general
alarm about the halls breeding grip.
The statement that he intended to act
with the minority of The populists made
by Senator Pritchard has stirred Up the
Populists. Hal Aver is quoted as say
ing:
II say that if the Republicans desire
to deal with boiling Populists they must
understand that hereafter in any politi-
cal battle they may have they must fight
alone so far as Populists are concerned.
The whole power Of the Poplllist ajor-
ity will be bent to beat the minority who
will use such temporary advantage"
Ohio Wilson said: "I'his settles it so
far as Pritchard can speak but not SO
far as the Republican party is concerned.
II the Republican party prefers the cleo
ton of Pritchard the 'fopper-bug for a
six-years term to the protection Of the
rights Of its people which the Republi-
cans have claimed are secured by the
aid OF Populists, then let them make this
choice"

This plan of mine to girdle the
globe, gigantic though 1t may seem,
is really simplicity itself, when you
come to study it out. The great rail-
road would be in the shape of a horse
shoe with the two heel prints near
Paris and New York respectively, and
the toe center opposite Vladivostok.
Nature has provided marvelously di-
rect route; an Approximate air line
around the globe.
1.-The minimum saving of distance,
allowing direct navigation to compare
with liberal lengthening of the rail-
read route in locating details, would
be $500 miles, the total distance around
would be $1,000 miles, versus 81, TOO
miles. In traversing the water route
around the globe one-fourth of the dis
lance would be land scenery and the
other three-fourths water By the
route l propose there would be ap
proXimately four-fifths land and one
fifth water
"The shortest route from Paris to
Australia would be via ST. Petersburg
and Vladivostok by rail, and thence
$500 miles by water, the time occupied
by the journey being twenty eight
days. The direct route from New York
to Australia would be via Alaska and
Vladivostok in tWenty-nine days. The
routes to China from the same points
would be shorter via the routes men
toned and the distance from San Fran
cisco to China via Alaska would be
shorter than the ocean trip. From
Chicago, west, all of our territory will
be nearer Siberia than would Paris.
The route via the Suez canal is calcu-
lated on direct sailing and to see the
few interesting points touched requires
side trips on other than the ship which
partake of the nature of branch lines
and would add greatly to the actual
distance really Travelled.

here in Atlanta, I am sure, the only
military company in this part of the
country which is formed entirely of
girls. 1 believe, too, that, if necessity
arose, they would know how to use
the weapons with which they have
been thoroughly drilled. [ have been
their military instructor from te first,
and thus my opportunity to judge has
been superior to that which has fallen
to the lot of any one else.
The organization of the company was
to a certain extent an accident Some
of the ladies of Atlanta wished to give
a concert for the benefit of the Grady
hospital. I happened to be present at
a consultation they held one day as
to ways and means and suggested that
it might be a good idea to have mill
tary drill by girls. They thought the
matter over and approved this plan
asking me to carry it out.
That was the first step that led to
the organization of what is now called
Fosters Light infantry 1t was sew
eral weeks from the time the subject
was preached to the date of the con-
cert. I gathered the girls into a COM
pany as fast as 1 could, and when the
necessary number had been reached
started in to drill them. 1 found it no
