So Few People Know Enough to Care for
Themselves.
The Huntsville (Ala.) Tribune resur-
reefs from the Athens Post of 1868
thirty years ago-the following interest
ing and instructive item, which deserves
to be widely circulated:
Gan intelligent planter Ia Alabama
entirely escaped the ravages of the cat
erpillar last year, although 1T destroyed
the cotton upon every other plantation
in his county. His crop was the finest
he ever raised. The caterpillars came
to the fields of his next door neighb rs,
but they did not cross his fences, The
reason for this was he issued the stern
est orders that not a single bird, except
the jay, should be killed on his planta-
ton under any pretext whatever. He
allowed little willow groves to grow in
his fields, and to them he sent a sack of
oats every morning, which were scat
tered upon the ground. The birds fed
upon the oats and sWarmed in thousands
around his fields. They exterminated
the cotton fly. And hence there were
no eggs, there were no caterpillars, but
there was a blooming garden in the
wilderness. There is no evil without a
remedy-there is no disease without a
cure"
Humanitarians have pleaded in vain
against the indiscrimInate slaughter of
birds. Scientists have pointed out their
incalcula bic benefit to mankind in gem
| eral, and especially to the farmer, the
gardener and the hOrticulturist, but
nothing seems effective. The work goes

hills of corn, but he pays for it in other
ways. The laws which protect certain
game birds should extend TO all

MONEY in PIG STICKING.
Two Girls in the Business and Making a

From the Chicago Chronicle.
In these advanced days it is difficult for
woman to find a field Of endeavor

discovery Of women real estate and dry

Miss Ordway of Kentucky have, howev-
er, struck something new, having gone
into the pig-sticking business in the lat

the business has been carried on quietly
in Kentucky. The young women hav

personally superintendent the buying as
well as the disposal of them. They

ability and their knowledge is thought
of1great value even by experts in the

Both the young women are averse to
talking about what they haye accom-.

The Khartoum Campaign.

Yesterdays dispatches stated that the last stage of the Soudan expedition had been inaugurated. This expedition now con- sists of 5000 regular British troops and 15,0oO Egyptian and Soudanese troops, under the command of Major-General Sir Herbert Kitchener, wno is known in Egypt as the "srdar" or commander-in-chief. He started in 1896 to reconquer the Soudan, and he has ever since that time been steadily and suc- cessfuly advancing towards Khartoum and Omdurman.
 Khartoum, it will be remembered, was captured by the Mahdi in 1885. On January 20, of that year, General Gordon was be- headed by the fanatics of Khartoum, and the town, and really the Egyptian Soudan, has since that day been in the hands of the Arabs The Mahdi died long ago from riots ous living. He was succeeded by the Khalifa, Abdullah, who is now the ruler of the fana tical hordes of the desert. But they are not as fanatical or as fierce as they were. Osman Digna, a military leader of known capacity, is with the Khalifa, but his powers are limited by the withdrawal of many of his followers, and the disillusion of the remainder
 As fast as General Kitchener advances the railroad and river f1otilla and telegraph line follow and the present advance will decide the fate of both Khartoum and Om- durman; and when they fall there will be nothing left to do except the pacification of the vast district reaching to the equato- rial lakes. These lakes are the headwaters of the Nile, and they will be held to protect the flow of the Nile. and so will all the in- tervening territory All will be held as a part of the great chain extending to the Cape. From Cairo to the Cape is now, as it long has been, a favorite English dream, and it is a dream that will turn to fact before the new century is much advanced. The conquest of Africa may be considered complete when a railroad line extends from end to end of 1t. France does no like the English programme but she will probably have to be content with acquisitions west of the Egyptian Soudan, although their value is problematical, consisting as they mostly do of sand and sunshine.

A LITTLE GIRL

George V. Hobart in Baltimore News l heard my mamma say last night The "boys would soon be home, And l prayed their pathway would be
 bright
 Across the ocean foam. I know the flags will futter gay And drums will echo sweet; But papa, on the green hillside,
 He will not hear them beat. I know the flags will brightly wave. The bugles sound their notes, A thousand cheers will rend the air From many a patriot throat, But mamma will not take me down To see the ranks pass by For papa, on the green hillside,
 Has joined the ranks on high. I'll sit beside the door and wait,
 And hold my mama's hand, For he went, too, to face the fray And fight for our dear land; And we shall hear them march and shout, For he would like us to, As on the green hillside he sleeps My papa, brave and true His comrades one by one will pass Amid the grand salute; The veteran with the wrinkied face Besides the raw recruit.
 We'll fancy that we see His form that on the green hillside Sleeps meath the green palm tree. They told us that he fought so brave, The flag above his head, And he will rise some day to join
 The long ranks of the dead. And we shall watch the grand review Of those who bravely fell. To sleep upon the green hillside,

A Senatorial Primary.

The Age-Herald has faith, most of all, in the people, and, least of all, in profess sional politicians. Every man should take an interest and participate in politics. We cannot have too many politicians of that kind. But of the men who give all their time to politics and the manipulation of conventions and legislatures and the like, we cannot have too few. None at all would be better. In every state, almost in every county, such men are burden, travagance.
 The true and only way to avoid such pests is to commit as little as possible to the bodies they infest and control-to go as often as possible direct to the people. The Age-Herald has long advocated the policy of giving the rank and file of the demo- cratic party a chance to say whom they prefer to support at the polls. In a state that hopes to have but one whit eman's party, this plan is peculiarly desirable. N thout popular selection of nominees, it that hopes to have but one white mans party can be maintained, for selection of candidates by ring-controlled conventions and cliques leads to discontent and dis satisfaction and these in turn lead to splits and additional tickets. But when every member of the party is given his proper chance to express his choice, dissension disappears, and all acquiesce in the result.
 It is important, of course, to secure hon. est action at primaries, but the people are pretty alert in such matters, and any dis honesty in primaries is reasonably sure to be summarily punished. It Is not possible to fool all the people all the time. It is, indeed, a question whether any law is .--ssseded in the conduct of primaries. The democrats of Georgia select all nominees in primaries. They like the system so well that not voice is anywhere raised in the state against the plan And they have no primary law. The people are a law unto themselves, and they can be trusted to punish with severity any trickery in the pri- mary machinery.
 The proposition now much discussed in this state of selecting United States sena- tors in primaries has been tried in several states, and always acceptably. The Chi cago platform demands a direct election of such officers by the people. In the absence of constitutional amendment, selection in primaries Is the next best method. It is in accordance with the spirit of the Chi cago platform and no democrat, not a pro- not favor a selection of a senator by the many, instead of the few. Give every democrat a chance to say whom he prefers.

Florida, especially in the neighborhood or Miami The cooling east winds and sandy porous soil and fresh, clear water of the everglades give the resident people of the latter section abundant health, and any one who has visited Chattanooga knows that that section cannot well be unhealthful. It is well drained, and the purity of it's moun- tain air is unquestioned. The troops at Huntsville are a certificate in Chattanoo- gas favor, for the two towns are in one valley, not far apart. Both Miami and Chickamauga have, in the rush of war, been traduced, but as the facts come out, it is seen that under ordinary circumstances they are fully up to the rest of the country in healthfulness and purity of air and wa ter. The south, as a whole, is not an un- healthy section. Let the truth be made known.

wATTERsON ON EXPANSION
e New York Herald


 q am expansionist," said MT. Watterson, "an expansionist of the deepest dye. l be- lieve we should not only have Cuba and Porto Rico, but that we should keep every island in the Philippine group. In short, think that wherever the Stars and Stripes have been raised, at a cost of blood or otherwise, they should float henceforth for ever. I am not in favor of hauling down single American flag that has been raised during this war, and l believe that my sen timents in this regard are the sentiments of the great mass of the American people.
 Like a young lion we have burst into the arena of the worlds great powers. By right of peerless navy and splendid army we enter as conquerors, and why should we not demand and get from the van qushed foe every foot of land which was bought by the blood of American soldiers at Manila? It will be just as hard to hold one island in the Philippines as to hold the whole group. Under circumstances which the future alone can reveal 1t may be harder. The thing to do. therefore, is to keep them all.
 "There is one side of this Philippine question that the public has thought little of, I believe. Who knows what fifty or enc hundred years may do? Who knows but that in that length of time the Pacific ocean may become the worlds great high way, as the Atlanic ocean is today? The

The Southern Camps.

The troops have been withdrawn from Miami, and Chickamauga and Tampa and Camp Alger, but it is by no means estab- lished that any one of these places is natur- ally unhealthy. On the other hand it be- comes plainer as the facts are really inves- tigated that all of them are naturally healthy, and that the diseases which arose at each place were in part due to the want of sanitation in the camps, and stiIl more to carelessness and violation of the laws of health by the individual soldier.
 The attempt to make it appear that all southern sections are unhealthy has broken down. Chickamauga is as healthy a place as man can live in, and the air of Miami is purity itself. And yet there was serious illness in both camps. At Chickamauga the supply of drinking water was not abundant, and at Miami the lack of the customary spring rainfall had reduced the volume and purity of the everglade supply to a considerable extent. The water of the everglades flows over sand, and in the ordinary season it is as pure drinking wa- ter as can be found in the country. This year a spring drought did impair Its vol ume and possibly its purity; but if the troops had taken good care of themselves, and if the officers in charge of the camps had done their duty, no sickness would have occurred.
 Northern camps are not healthier than southern camps unless they are more care fully kept. The camps at Huntsville, Knoxville, Lexington and Montauk Point will have the advantage of an experience gained in the more southerly camps and the soldiers in them will be more hardened and seasoned to camp life. They may es- cape serious illness They surely will if proper care and sanitation are employed. But they will not in that happy event serve as a demonstration of the unhealthfulness of the south. Under ordinary circum- stances no section can be found anywhere that is freer from malaria or other poison than the hills and valleys in the neighbor- hood of Chattanooga, or the east coast of

THE NATIONAL TICKET

From the Columbus (Ga) Enqurer-Sun.
 The Gainesville Eagle makes this pro- phecy:
 We wish to go on record early. Here is the way we will guess the republican na- tional ticket will read in 1900:
 For President-William Mckinley, of Ohio.
 For -Presdent-Theodore Roosevelt of New York.
 This may be a pretty good guess, but can our good brother tell us who the dem ocrats will put up in opposition to the re- publican nominees? It is our time to win the victory in 1900, and we would like to see the best men in the party nominated. Fitzhugh Lee or General Wheeler would make a good tail for the ticket and it is about time the south was given a repre- sentative the national ticket of the dem- ocratic party.
