THE NEW BOARD.

Director Hanna called the meeting to order
and Director Lee moved that Director Mar
shal Baugh act as temporary chairman
Director Martin seconded the motion, and il
was carried.
Director Dove moved tnat Director Frank
Hanna act as temporary secretary, the motion
being seconded by Director Malick. 1t was
carried.
The secretary then read the oaths of office
of the newly elected Directors. they being
Messrs. Michael Sullivan, Harry Z. KEEPER,
George Holvey, Michael l. Kerrigan and

At this point Director Coughlin arose and
was accorded permission to speak. He said

claiming, II raise point of order. That has

Chairman Baugh said. 'I declare the

The declaration was accepted as a cOnfirma-

Coughlin was very much disappointed in not
having succeeded in getting his full address
before the Board.
! The permanent organization was then pre-
ceeded with, but not with serenity that has
attended similar meetings of the Board in
past years. There was a hitch and hot ex-
change in the very outstart. Director HOlvey
nominated Director KEEPER for permanent
president, Director Britt nominated Director
COughlin, and Director Breslin named Direc-

wv southern Farm ers Can Enter Upon n
New Era of Prosperity.

How southern Farmers Can Enter Upon n
New Era of Prosperity.
When cotton planters cease to devote
all their energies to the production OF
cotton and begin to employ the waste
places for the production Of beef bV
setting them with Bermuda grass or
Japan clover, they will enter upon
new era IN their prosperity. No long
err, with refrigerator cars at command,
is there any risk in slaughtering cattle
in the south to be shipped to all parts
of the country, as is now the case with
the beef from Kansas City and Chica-
go. Beef cattle may be raised fully 20
per cent. cheaper in the south than in
northern states. 1t will require ten
men to a herd Of cattle in the north
west during the stress of winter, when
one man only would be required in the
southern states.
The most profitable methods which
could be employed in the south would
be for every farmer to carry few
well-bred cattle on his farm for
milk, butter and beef. The steers
should be fatUened for market at the
age OF three or four years. An
average of four well fattened beeves
sold each year from every farm, with
100 acres in cultivation, would be a
source of immense income to the
people of the southern states, besides
adding to the fertility of the soil and
making the people Independent of out
side supplies. There is no good reason
why such a course should not be
entered upon at once by the farmers
and planters of the southern states.
Wild grasses and forage crops enough
in the south spring up and blossom,
fall and decay, which, if converted IN
to beef, would add millions of dollars
to the wealth of the country. The
wasted vegetable resources of the
south should be converted into Uangi
bic wealth, and this may be done
with a maximum profit by the raising
of cattle, tor cattle, next to bread
stuffs, are most universally in demand
at good prices. Never before was the
demand for good breeding stock better
than it is now. Raise good stock, not
scrub stock, and the profits will be
certain and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

COTTON AFFECTED
IN A new MANNER.
FARMERS OF TROUP COUNTY ARE
ALARMED At THE DISEASE.
An Appeal Made to state Department
Of agriculture. FL tOmOlOgist
Scott to Investigate.

Application has been made 70 the
department of agriculture by the farm
ers of Troup county to have an expert
sent there as soon as possible TO !nves-
tigate the cotton crop and 10 ascertain
if possible what peculiar disease is af-
fecting the cotton plants in that sec
ti0n.
Samples of cotton plants accompa~
MED the request for an Investigation,
and these appeared TO be unusually
large and healthy though without
forms or bols. The forms, 1T seems,
have all turned to leaves, and while
the plants ipresent very luxuriant
appearance they are def0rmed in that
there is no sem blance of the very part
that makes the plant of value.
1t is thought that the boil worEl is
the cause of the devastating attack
upon the plants in Troup and adjoin-
ing counties, and the farmers regard
the outlook as alarming. Hundreds Of
acres of cotton plants have been affect
ed in this manner, and thus far no sat-
isfactory explanation has been forth-
coming as to the exact way in which
the plants have suffered.
In response TO the request to the de-
partment of agriculture, State EntO>
mologIst Scott will 60 to the affected
section at once and institute an expert
investigation. Entomologst Scott, af-
ter seeing the samples of cotton plants
sent to the department, states that the
condition of the cotton is probably due
to the presence of the boil worm.
peculiar phase of the pest is that
the crops planted in ground which has
been under cultivation for years and
which until this year has been consld-
cred we'll adapted for cotton, are prin-
cipally affected. On the other hand
it has been found that the cotton
plants on the newly cultivated ground
is free from invasion, although located
near the diseased cotton.
The reports from all over the state
concerning the cotton crop have been
a, thing but encouraging, anG the
outlook is considered gloomy. In
many sections the corn has dried I'M
and the conditions have fallen off 10
per cent in the past thirty days.

Michigan,s Bounty Foolishness.

The state of Michigan pledged itself in
1897 to pay bounty oi cent a pound
on all the sugar manufactured in the
s ate for six years thereafter. But the
last legislature failed to make any apDro-
priation for these payments, and the
sugar companies are cIamoring at the
doors of he treasury for money and are
failing to get any. 1t will probably turn
out, however, that they will have to be
paid. States which go into the bounty
foolishness must settle.-Springfeld

BURGLAR SAVED THE BABY.
He Woke Up It's MO,her, Whom He Came
to Rob.


Intent On robbery big, husky burg
lar entered the home of Patrolman John
T. Farrell at No. 551 Quincy street,
Brooklyn, early the other morning. Mrs.
Farrell was awakened by strange voice
commanding: "Get up, your kid is
strangling."
But half realizing the situation the
mother, half asleep. made her way TO the
next room and did her best to stop the
child's suffering.
The burglar watched the woman mo-
ment Or two and then going to the ro om
of the elder brother, Robert, shook him
roughly and ordered him to get out of
bed and help his mother. The youth,
seeing a strange man, demanded to know
what he was doing III the house.
81 came in tC rob-" he replied grufdy,
"and was done up by the young one.
Now pile out and get a move on you"
And after waiting until the by aid SO,
the burglar said: 81 hopes the baby
will be all right soon." slouehed down
stairs and disappeared through the front
door.

COTTON is WORTH MORE.
How the Farmer il Benefited by the
Roundup Bale.

The Atlanta Constitution, which re-
Gently published an elaborate report on
the Roundup bale of the American Cot
ton Company, in discussing The value OF
the new sysem of cotton handling, says:
''It is quite clear that, in order to raise
the price which should go to the farmer
for his cotton, the commercial expenses
in handling II must be reduced.
Under present conditions, the amount
of money required 10 handle the crop,
from the gin to the factory platform, has
grown out of all proportion, so that its
commercial handling consumed the
profit which should have gone to the
grower. Viewed from this standpoint,
therefore, every movement which deliv-
ers the tarmer's colt with least ex-
pense TO the manufacturer must be re-
garded as of the widest public interest.
81 he new methods of round baling are
| on tkls line, doing away with much OF
the clumsiness and extravaganza of the
old system and substituting one which
can make of every cotton gin a compress
| as well The claims of the round bale
advocates show that we have entered
upon an era of invention which means
much TO the farmer, and much, therefore,
to the country"

fllipinos Routed,

Manila, April 27.-General Mac
Artbur's division crossed the RIO
Grande today and advanced on Apalit,
completely routing the flower Of the
rebel army. Most Of the rebels fed TO
Apalit station, where two trains were
awaiting them. They left ~hurriedly,
presumably for San Fernando. The
towns Of San Vincente and Apalit we're
simultaneously burned and evacuated
by the natives.
Twenty prisoners were captured, in
GLIDING . spaniard.
The American troops also captured
q brass cannon and q quantity OF arms
and ammunition, and the same evening
they captured a Maxim gun on the
railroad.
The fighting lasted from noon until
four O'Clock.
The American loss is one man Of the
Montana regiment killed, and three
officers and six men wounded.
The enemy vas very strongly en-
trencbed on the river bank, near both
sides Of the railroad bridge. General
Wheaton sent Colonel Funston across
with two companies Of the Twentieth
Kansas regiment, q couple Of priVates
swimming the swift stream with a rope
under a CALLING fire, for the purpose Of
guiding the raft.
The men crossed In squads Of twenty
and attacked the left flank OF the
rebels, who scattered like rabbits into
covered ways and trenches.
The rest Of the regiment was com.
PEELED 10 cross the bridge in single file
along the stringers. All the wood
work and much Of the ironWork had
been removed. The First Montana
regiment followed the Kansans across
the bridge.
The First Nebraska regiment, acting
IS q reserve, attacked the rebels 10
three lines Of trenches, driving them
out, killing sixteen and w~ounding
many.
In the meantime a large body Of
Filipinos, estimated al 5000, led by
General Antonio Luna On q black
charger, that was evidently coming TO
reinforce the rebels who we're engaged
with The Nebraskans, appeared 10 the
open field about two miles 10 the left.
Emerging from the jungle, The
suemy formed 10 open skirmlsh line
nearly two plles 10 length, with very
thick reserves behind. Then they
advanced al double quick until they
were about 1000 yards from the
American line, when General Wheaton
ordered his troops to fire.
The rebels, who were evidently
unaware that the Americans had cross.
cd the river, broke and ran ip the
direction OF MacAbele. The other
FilipInos led toward Apalit station.
