Kceping sheep IN Orchards.

The apple orchard after it gets old
enough to bear is the best sheep pas
ture. One of the greatest advantages
of pasturing sheep in the orchard is
to destroy the fallen fruit. This they
will do even better than hogs, which
are usually recommended for this pur-
pose. Pigs will only eat apples after
they are nearly or quite ripe, unless
they are starved to it. The small,
green apples are sometimes almost bit
ter. Sheep like this bitter taste and
will run to eat the fallen apples, most
of which contain codling moths, which
would escape into the ground If left
in the apple long after it falls.

To Settle RaiIroad Dispute

Atlanta, December s.-Mr. w. V. Powell,
grand chief of the Order of Railway Tele
graphers, left Atlanta tonight for Montreal,
where he goes in an effort to settle the dis
pute between the managers of the Grand
Trunk system and the operators. The
trouble has not yet resulted in strike, but
indications at present point to a break in
the relations between the comepany and
their men. Mr.. Powell is not very hopeful
of adjusting the matter, and says in case
he fails to do so he will at once call meet
ing of the heads of the various railway
ganizatons to discuss the grievances. A
strike will not occur unless this last con-
ference fails to effect a settlement, and all
organized labor on the Grand Trunk will be
called out If the trouble with the operators
is not satisfactorily adjusted.

CUBAN EXTREMISTS
Anxious to Assume Responsibility for
the Castillo Outrage.

Santiago de Cuba, December 9-The ex-
tremsts of the Cuban republican party
seem anxious to assume the responsibility
for the outrage at the Spanish club
Wednesday evening, whei Juan Castillo, a
former Cuban officer accompanied by two
negro subordinates, rode into the club
rooms and with their machetes smashed
several lamps and did other damage Ill
Pcrvenir, the organ of this faction, claims
the act of Castillo represents the feelings
of long outraged but now sovereign
people"
Vice-President Barbarossa of the San
Carlos club has asserted that if Castillo
had not been promptly released from GUS
tody 10000 Cubans would have known the
reason why. But such expressions must
not be taken as representing the views of
the best Cuban element which is really very
strongly in favor of annexation.
Today Colonel Beacon had before him
Lieutenant Cranshaw of the Third Immune

that the affair was premeditated and that
the officers were more guilty than the
men.

INSPECTORS ARE
BADLY SCATTERED
ExigencIes Of The War Called Them from
Regular Duties.
MANY RECOMMENDATIONS
RECON- M ENDATIONS
Contained in the Annual Report Of tho
Inspector General
TO INSURE HEALTH OF TROOPS
While in Actual Service Periodical Mill
tary Manouv ers and Experimental
Mobilization Should be Pro-
vided for Student S oldiers.

WASN'T gton, December 9.-The annual re-
port of the inspeetor-general of the army,
made public tonight, is somewhat unique,
the exigencies of the war having scattered
the officers of the bureau from their reg
ular duties to the command of troops in
the field and reduced the number of in
spectors considerably. AT the same time
the war brought out results in that branch
of the service devoted to military instruc-
ton in civic schools and colleges and makes
the basis for some interesting recommends
lions. The inspector general pays a marked
compliment to the personnel OF his depart
ment as well as to the other branches of
the government under whose direction the
war was successfully prosecuted, with the
following compliment to the president:
THE indomitable energy, perpetual mill
tary provision, the care and oainstaklng
that was demonstrated from the white
house down to the leading wharf through
every branch and desk of the war depart
ment to the final exit of an organized COM
mand of every arm and corps of the serv-
ice upon foreign soil deserve recognition"
Period cal Manouvers
He emphasizes strongly the need of pc
riodical military maneurers and expert
mental mobilization to insure tine health
and safety of the troops in actual service.
If this is omitted he declares the most Law
ish expenditures with the best intentions and
most untiring energy as a substitute to
practical good is a poor makeshift. One of
the most interesting features of the report
is that upon military colleges. Except for
the interruption of military instruction by
the withdrawal of instructors during the
war 1900 students are being annually
trained in practical and theoretical military
service in private and public schools and
colleges The presidents of forty-six of the
colleges whose military departments num-
bered 1900 students reported that twenty
nine of their regular students and fifty
one alumni had been commissioned in the
regular army and 157 students and 2J6
alumni In the volunteer army, total OF
541 officers or enough for about twelve regi-
ments.

new CHARTER
FOR OPELIKA
Designed to Raise Revenues TO
Wipe Out City Debt.
THE TAXATION ON BARROOMS
Seems to Have Been in Some Way
Overlooked, and if the Bill Passes
in Its Present Form Saloon
Men May Escape.

Opelika, December 9-(Special.)-The leg
islature now in session has before it bill
providing for a new charter for Opelika
which is creating a great deal of interest.
The new charter, if adopted, taxes almost
everything tangible, and material from a
five-dollar tax for a lawyer to five hundred
dollars for an electric light plant. Street
tax is five dollars, while Pullman cars rum
ming through the town will be taxed 500
yearly.
The license and taxation feature will be
as comprehensive as the war tax only
much larger and more extended in scope
Young and old, rich and poor alike come
in for their part of the burden. The city Is
deeply in debt and this charter will bring it
out.
The income from the barrooms at present
Is $500 per annum. The new charter fails to
provide for the taxation of them speciflcal-
ly, and they are liable to escape unless the
matter Is corrected. The new charter is
the subject of much interest. 1t will meet
the exigencies of the occasion splendidly,
but will leave very little money for citi-
zens.

blizzard last night. Two inches of snow

LECTURE AT AUBURN.
DR.. George Petrie Addressed the Stu

Auburn, December Especial 9-Toniglt
in the college chapel DIR. George Petrie de-
lvered most interesting lecture on Our
Navy" His talk was accompanied by some
excellent steropticon views, and WAS great
ly appreciated by the students of the COL
lege and others who heard it.
1.-THE Orange and Blue the college paper,
has made its first appearance this year,
and is quite an improvement over last
years paper.
A delightful social function was given last
Friday night by the faculty of the college
in honor of the victorious football team
Among other decorations ON the table, was
a Georgia goal post at either end, and ull-
der each one was one of Auburn's foot
balls.
The varsity team has dishanded after its
glorious victory on Thanksgivink day, and
the attention of all the college students is
now turned toward the class games which
are to be played after Christmas The cap
tains OF all the teams have been selected,
and the coaches picked out.
Term examinations begin December is
and continue six days. The Christmas hali-
days will begin December % and continue
for ten days.
The faculty of the college have sent an
invitation to the president to stop over in
Auburn for short while as he passes
through on his way to Tuskegee Mo reply
has been received from him yet.
The cadet band is now playing regularly
on the drill ground and makes some very
pretty music.

CABLE FROM DEWEY
Summarizes the Existing Condition of
Affairs at Manila. n

Washington, December 9-The navy de-
partment has received a cablegram from
Adimarl Dewey summarizing the existing
conditions at Manila and such points in the
Philippines as have been visited by his
officers. Advices have also been received
from General Otis, the commandant of the
United States military forces in the islands,
and they both go to show a notable i'm
provement in conditions and the growth of
a better spirit among those factions OF the
natives who promised to give trouble This
fact is particularly gratifying as the United
States Is giving consideration to the best
means at hand to redeem the pledge 1t will
be placed under by the treaty of Paris to
secure the release of the Spanish prisoners
held by the Philippine natives. There are
about 800 clerical prisoners, and the gov
eminent is confident that their captors will
release them upon proper representations
from General Otis and Admiral Dewey Ii
may be necessary to call the navy into
service in this matter. for the reason that
some of the prisoners are held in captivitv
In other islands than Luzon, which can he
reached best and most effectively by Adj
miral Dewey's ships.
Besides the clerical prisoners the Ameri
cans hold nearly 1900 Spanish soldiers as
prisoners, men captured at the fall of Ma
MIA. These are actually on parole about
the city. and the question is how are thew

LETTER OF INSTRUCTIONS

Washington, December 9.-Surgeon Gen.
eral Sternberg has issued quite a detailed
letter of instruction to Colonel Charles r
Greenleaf, who has started for Savannah
on general tour of the large winter camps
In the south. The inspection is intended
to guard against repetition of any of the
evils arising from defective food, quarters
or medical attendance, such as gave rise
to criticism during and after the Spanish
war; Colonel Greenleaf is directed to re-
port to the surgeon general on the condi-
ton and wants of the troops in the field and
in military posts and military hospitals and
on the efficiency of the med cal officers and
the civilian employees of the department.
He is especially directed to report on the
quantity and quality of medicines and hos
pital supplies at the various points visited
and whether or not these are promptly dis
tributed on requisition as they are re-
quired.

as fair average 1t would appear. says
the report, that the regular and volunteer
armies secured from the students annually
instructed by regular army officers enough
officers for twenty-four regiments.
In conclusion on this subject the inspector
general says that some substantial recog-
milton should be accorded the students who
spend a large part OF their school life in
military study, and he recommends the Sc
lection of some of the best students for APP
pointment annually in the army. Such
policy, he says, would benefit both the
students, the colleges and the government.

Makes People Well.

The one true specific for diseases arising
from dc bilitated nervous system is Paine's
celery compound, so generally prescribed
by physicians. 1t is probably the most re-
markable remedy that the scientific research
of this country has produced. Prof Ed ward
T.. Phelps. NJ. D. l.. l.. D., of Dartmouth
college first prescribed what is now known
the world over Paine's celery compound,
sitive cure for dyspepsia, bliousness,
liver complaint, neuralgia, rheumatism, all
nervous diseases and kidney troubles.
Paine's celery compound has succeeded
again and again where everything else has
failed.

Government of Ponce.

Washington, December 9.-Assistant Sec
rotary XancerliI, Who is expected to arrip e
In the United States from Porto Rico next
Monday has made a preliminary and ill.,
formal report 10 Secretary Gage of his OBJ
servations in that island. Under date of
the 9th aplt., ho reports that the military
authorities arc getting along fairly well
with customs collections. Everything re-
eeived lbs tecn deposited with Deford &
Co., financial agents of the government,
and the amount on deposit aggregates more
than 100000. Spanish customs officials
have been put to work at the various ports
and this system works satisfactorily. the
men, he writes, are honest, and it is
though by proficient officials in the mill
tary service that the government is doing
everything it should.
Military officers at San Juan contend that
the reports that have reached the United
States concerning the outbreaks and dis
turbances of the peace in the island are
without substantial foundation. During
the evacuation there were more or less dis
turbanees of a political or private character
but the situation now is pcaceaDle, as in
the United States.

"A number of bandits are confined in
prison and they will receive "a civil trial.
Possibly Some of these cases may result
In the eAecu;ion of the offenders and, in
fact, military authorities are inclined
to believe If this sort of punishment is or
dered ut the opening trials little more of
this kind of disturbance will occur in the
island.
The American troops have ON the whole
heen well behaved and have, according to
the testimony of commanding officers, given
practically no trouble.
1t has been tremendous task getting the
civil administration into operation again.
Practically all administration was at a
standstill after the fall OF the island. An
endeavor has been made to put the Span
ish officials, SO far as could be done, back
into their places and have the civil admin
istration go on as nearly as possible. =
AT Ponce, says Mr.. Vanderlip where there
are some specially sharp politicians, they
revived an obsolete autonomist scheme of
municipal government and were all ready 10
put 1t into force. General Brooke, how
ever, found 1t OF a most rigorous and pa
ternal character and declined to permit its
enforcement. The commanding general has
accepted the selection of the successors OF
the municipal officers. there.
The report closes by saying: 1--WE learn
That there Is great demand here for a
boat for the coasting trade around the is
land There Is only one small boat en-
gagged and she has freight away beyond her
capacity and her owners refuse all ship
ments except small ones, upon which thew
can get the highest rate. A small steamer
would undoubtedly make good money in the
coasting trade"
