OF one regiment of Illinois negro
troops, just mustered out, no less than
200 have already fled applications
for pensions. That all the others will
do so, sooner or later, may well be
supposed, in view of what has here
tofore been done in the swindling
pension business.

Act of a Pluckv Tennessean.

One of the pluckiest deeds in the
campaign was that of Sergeant Glenn
ent G. Jones, of the 3rd Battalion, Ten
nessee regiment. The sight of Fill
plno standard within 800 yards of the
Tennessee outpost, near Jaro, grated
upon the ser geant's sense of propriety.
SO he slipped between the outposts
and crossed the river into the enemy's
country. He crossed unframed a large
tract of open rice fields, in full view Of
the natives. When he arrived within
grasping distance Of the flag he made a
grab for it, simply Supplying for
the time the Filipinos, who were scared
by his sudden apparition. He uproot-
ed the flag and staff, and with them on
his shoulder, he started to return to
the outpost, his back all the time tar
get for scores of Mauser bullets which
the natives sent after him as parting
salutes. Unscathed, he waded the riv-
er and arrived safely with his trophy.

Nay, nay, good brother Gush and

warded Dewey with about as high an
honor as he could expect or as the gov

CoWpeas for Forage.

'"Ihere is no forage plant better
adapted to the needs and conditions of
Southern agriculture than this rank,
free-growing annual. 1t will thrive
luxuriantly upon the rich, swampy
cane lands of Louisiana. On the dri-
est and most sterile worn-out up-lands
it serves the admirable purpose of sup
plying larger quantity and better
quality of forage than any other bean
or clover. And whenever a crop of
cowpeas has been taken off o field the
surface soil is left richer by a good
many pounds Of that most costly of all
plant foods, nitrogen. The roots of the
cowpea enter deeply into the soil, open
ing and loosening it far down for the
benefit of the roots of the succeeding
crops of corn, cotton, and tobacco. 1t
has been found by experiment that the
fertilizing value of the roots and stub
BILE of the cowpea are very considera-
BILE, but not as great as that of the hay
removed from the field. The best and
most economical use of this forage crop
is, then, to cut for hay, feed to stock,
and return the stable manure to the soil
Flowing the whole crop under is less
remunerative, because there is much
needless waste of muscle making and
fat-forming constituents Of the plant
which would bring more profit if turn
ed into beef, pork, wool, cheese, or
butter.
Gas regards the disposal of the crop,
there is a wide variation in practice.
The feeding value of the vines and peas
much exceeds their fertilizing value.
But as between the practice of turning
the vines under green in autumn and
that of allowing them to lie on the
ground during the winter, the latter is
undoubtedly sometimes to be preferred
although theoretically wrong. Theo-
retically, to plow the vines under in
autumn will be to save all the available
nitrogen and convert the whole plant
into humus. Practically, the turning
under of so large an amount of watery
green herbage is sometimes highly in
iurlous, causing too rapid decay and
consequent burning or souring of the
soil. The upper soil layers, freshly
stirred and mellowed in autumn, lose
more by teaching and washing than do
those of an unplowed field covered by
its winter mulch of decaying herbage,
though in both cases there is a decided
loss of fertility over what would result
by following the peas with crop Of
rye, winter wheat, the turf-forming
winter oats, wintnr vetch, or crimson
clover. The y;,.-.s Of forage are better

EVANS FRIENDS.
They Are Confident That He Can Confront
His Enemies.

A Washington special to the Atlanta
Journal, under head of "May Impeach
Evans, " says;
"Ihe pension attorneys are going to
take their fight on H. Clay Evans into
congress. Several days ago Captain
Evans came out in an open statement
attacking the attorneys and claiming
that the action of the G. A. r. posts
was inspired by the attorney sharks.
Corporal Tanner and others who
have been leading the fight in secret
have come into the open and claim that
Evans is liable to impeachment and
that impeachment charges will be filed
against him in the next congress. Some
of these attorneys charge that he has
lived too long in the south to be just to
the old soldiers.
"Mr, Evans replies that there are few
honest pension attorneys, all being in
spired by greed and desire to loot the
treasury and that he will not give in to
them if he is denounced by every G. A.
R. post in the country, or impeached
through their Vaccinations"
The above special was shown to a
number of ardent Evans men in this
city today, and provoked from them
expressions of confidence in Mr.. Evans.
s. One of the gentlemen who was seen
said:
81 believe H. Clay Evans can prove
anything he has asserted about the
pension rolls. If he says one-third Of
the names on the rolls are frauds, he
has the facts to prove it. We know
Mr.. Evans conservatism, and the peo-
pie who are talking about impeaching
him will find they have tackled q bear. u

NEW REVENUE LAW.
Some of Its Points Now Puzzling County
Authorities.

Our county officials are now wres-
ting with the revenue act of the last
Legislature. Copies of the new act have
been received here, and it has been
found that many changes have been
made in the state taxes that will have
to be paid by parties conducting bust
ness concerns over this county.
The most important ruling of them
all, is that in all privilege taxes and Ii
cense, a tax of per cent. on the amount
of each days delinquency will have to
be paid by the delinquent. For in
stance: Should a merchant owe q tax or
license of $50 and allow it to go unpaid
for one day, he will be charged so cents
each day after the date it becomes due.
Changes in the state tax have been
made in other instances as follows.
All persons conducting advertising
schemes must pay q tax of 800. This
is new tax and in the past advertisers
have been exempted. Photographers
have been decreased to $3.50 An i'm
portant ruling is made as to auc-
tioneers. In the past they paid $3.50.
In the past an auctioneer could secure
license for any length of time he want
ed it. Hereafter he must secure his H.
cense for one year and no less. AS usu-
al, breweries and their agents come in
for their share of the increase, which is
$50.
Bicycle agents and those who keep
bicycles to rent have to pay a tax of
$40. This is a new tax also.
Merchandise brokers. who sell by
samples pay $3.50 per year, while in
the past they paid nothing.
An important item is embodied in re-
gard to cigar stands. Merchants who
keep cigars and tobacco in stock Incl
dent to their business must pay an ex-
ira license if the stock of tobacco and
cigars equals or is over 10 per cent. of
their stock
Dealers in second hand clothing pay
tax of $3.50. 1t will be seen from this
provision that secondhand clothing
dealers will be taxed out of existence,
and the consequence will be that no di-
sease germs will be brought into the
state in second hand clothing.
Summer resorts have to pay tax of
so cents for every room.
Other changes different from the old
law are as follows: Shooting galleries
and rolling course, $5; livery stables,
10 cents on each stall; nickel-ln- slot
machines, $40; penny slot machines,
50. so; playing cards, $40 wholesale, and
So retail Peddling licenses are in
creased 100 per cent. County tax which
is imposed by the county court will be
the same as the state tax.

COunterfeiting Outfits

San Rafael, Cal, June 2O-Two dies
ana several bottles Of acid, portions Of
counterfeiter's outfit, have been un-
earthed by woodchopper in the out
skirts of this place. One die was for coin
ing 1898 dollars, the other being for five
dollar pieces Of 1897. Both are well exc
cuted. There is much counterfeit coin of
these dates in circulation. About a year
ago Charles Irwin, who operated in this
vicinity was sent to San Quentin for
making bogus money. The dies just dis
covered, however, bear evidence of hav-
ing been used quite recently.
At Pismo, in San Luis Obispo county, a
complete counterfeiting outfit has been
discovered by United States Marshal
Cook. j. H. Ormandy and c. A. Raymond
have been arrested charged with making
spurious coin. The officers secured over
$500 of this kind of money. Another seiz-
ure has been made in Los Angeles. The
visit of Chief Wilkie Of the secret service
to this coast is believed to have been in
connection with an attempt now being
made to break up the gangs of counter
feiters now operating here.
