ALDERMANIc TICKET INCOMPLETE
LIBERALS Are SHIl at Work on Their
List of Candidates.

List of Candidates.
A meeting of the Liberal Club committee
of fifteen to suggest an aldermanc ticket
met last night, but it was resolved 20
give out nothing about the proceedings It
is not known what progress the committee
has made in addition to the names given
in the Morning News yesterday, who, it
is understood, are pretty sure to go on the
ticket.
1t is stated there will not be an an
nouncement of the ticket before Saturday
or Monday, even though it be selected be
fore that time In the event il is deferred
until Monday, it is probable the opposition
will have a second rally in the meantime,
when its aldermauic ticket will be named
and ratified. and all arrangements COM
Melted for the conduct of the campaign.
The Liberal Club leaders are constantly
at work however. Before the ratification
meeting. which has not been called yet,
there will probably not be any demonstra-
ton by the Liberals.
The result of the committees delibera-
tions last night probably puts the ticket
nearer completion, but it is pretty certain
there are yet several selections to be
made There will likely be another meet
ting tonight, and by tomorrow night it is
possible the list will be completed.

MICHIGAN TROOPS TO PARADE.

The Thirty-First to Turn Out and
Have a Dress Parade at the Park.
The Thirty-frst Michigan Regiment will
parade this afternoon, and have a review
and dress parade afterwards in the Park
extension. This is a compliment to the
people of Savannah in appreciation of the
courtesy shown by them to the regiment
and is also in part due to a pardonable
desire on the part of Col Gardener to let
the public see for itself what a really fine
regiment the Thirty-frst is.
The regiment, if the day is fair, will
leave camp about o'clock this afternoon
reaching the city before o'clock, and
marching through the principal streets
until the Park extension is reached. There
there will be a review and dress parade.
The Michigan regiment is one of the best
in the volunteer service, and there will be
a large turnout of Savannahians to see 1t.

GETS BACK HER DIAMONDS.
But MIR. LevkOwicz Must Pay Duty on
the Rest of the Seized Articles.
Absolutely Pure

But Mr.. LeVkOwicz Must Pay Duty on
the Rest of the Seized Articles.
Miss Burke the niece of 1. Levkowicz,
will have returned 90 her the several val
liable diamonds rings which were seized
by the customs authorities at this city
nearly six years ago But all of the
other jewelry and fancy articles seized
at the time will have to pay duty. Their
value is small.
The case of the seized jewelry, etc, was
concluded yesterday. Judge Speer render
ed his decision at once, holding that the
rings claimed by Miss Burke were her
private property, as she asserted at the
time of the seizure, and that they should
be returned to her. The other goods, ne
held. should not be forfeited 20 the gov
eminent, but should be returned to Mr..
Levkowicz on the payment of the duties.
Fleming G. duBignon, Esq, who repre-
sented Mr.. Levkowicz, had pointed out
strongly in the course of the trial the
fact that Mr.. Levkowicz had paid many
Thousands of dollars to the custom house
on gods brought in here during his short
business life in Savannah; that the evil
dence showed that he had made no effort
to smuSgle anything in, and he insisted
that in view of this, it was unreasonable
to suppose that he would make an effort
to defraud the government on small lot
of jewelry and then Immediately publicly
expose them for sale in his store.

MUST HAVE REVENUE STAMPS.
City Is Required to Have Then At
tached to All Bonds.

Deputy Internal Revenue Collector
Basch has notified the city that a 50 cent
revenue stamp will be required on all its
bonds. This will have to be paid by those
who take out licenses, many of whom
have already given the bonds and are now
being notified to call again and put up the
additional half dollar.
1t is estimated there will be 230 liquor
dealers to give bonds 60 green
grocers and a half dozen pawn brokers.
The amount for revenue stamps will
amount 20 a considerable, sum. The en-
ployes in the clerks office at the exchange
were not aware the stamps were required.
and for that reason, will be put to the
trouble of collecting the extra amount
from the few who were not required to
pay at the time the bonds were taken.

WANTED TO GO TO CUBA.
But the YOungster Wound Up in the
Hands of the Police.

But the YOungster Wound Up in the
Hands of the Police.
A lady in tears appealed to Mr.. Eugene
Luke, doorkeeper at the theater last
night. to look out for her son, Frank
Wainsworth. She said the youngster, who
was only about 10 years old. had run away
from home with the avowed intention of
boarding one of the transports for Cuba.
This threat of the young man occasion
ed his mother a great deal of anxiety. as
she knew he had tried to get away on the
Roumanian when the Third Georgia sail
ed. and had only been prevented from do
ing so by the alertness of the guard post
ed at the gaugway.
When Mrs Wainsworth missed the boy
early yesterday morning she thought he
must have made good his threat and that
he might even then be hiding aboard the
transport that was preparing to sail. Ac-
cordiugly she went to see Chief McDer-
mott whose help she enlisted in the
search The chief detailed one of his de-
tectives to go down and make a thorough
search of the vessel to see if the young
ster might be aboard in the capacity of
stoyaway and prospective mascot The
search. however, failed 10 disclose any
evidence of the young mans presence.
Mrs WainsWorth had heard that her son
had Oepn seen ABOUT inc lllGdtSI uull
the afternoon. and, thinking he might be
there again last night. she made It point
10 look him up. The three floors of the
house were searched, but the boy was not
there The mother gave Mr.. Luke a de-
scription Of the boy and then left.
1t was not more than fifteen minutes
after his mothers departure that the lad
nut in an appearance. He had a door
check and wanted to so to the gallery. Mr..
Luke thought the boy tailed with the de-
scription Mrs. Wansworth had given, so
he asked him his name. and sure enough
NJ vo,ngster answered, Frank Wains-
worth +" Then Mr.. Luke asked him when
he had seen his mother, and an absurd
answer convinced him the best thing for
him TO do would be 10 turn the young
man over to the police for safe keeping.
Ne did so. and his parents viii probably
toke charge of Frank to-day.

New Varieties of Corn.

We believe the ordinary farmer
should give a good deal of thought to
the varieties of corn he grows and that
it will pay him to experiment in a
small way with new varieties. After
some experience he will be able to
cross intelligently for special purpose
from year to year and get about what
he wants. Corn originally was a semi
tropical product, coming, we believe,
from Mexico. 1t has been growing in
a wide range of climate and has de-
veloped a great number of varieties.
In fact, it is more variable than any
other grain, varying not merely with
the climate but with the soil, and in
selecting seed corn it is not safe to
reach over a wild range of latitude.
If you do the corn will be confused, so
to speak, and not know how long to
grow nor when to ripen and get in out
of the way of frost. The farmer who
is selecting seed corn with the idea
of grain production should select the
variety that will grow him the great
est amount of grain, large ears, and as
many of them as possible. The farm
er who is growing corn to feed cattle
in the shock should aim to grow the
greatest total amount of food which he
will find in a large number of medium
sized ears and finer quality of fod-
der, the result of thicker planting
than is justifable when growing ex-
clusively for the grain. The farmer
who grows corn for summer feed for
and has a large amount Of leaves like
the Evergreens, and so on to the end
of the type that will produce him the
largest amount and get in out of the
way of frost. 1t should, therefore, not
be an early variety such as the North
ern grown varieties are likely to be,
nor yet late one like the large corn
from the South. We think our readers
will see the point in this at a glance
and it should govern them in determfn-
ing on the varieties Of corn to plant
this year. One thing we urge especial.
ly, that they look out for their seed
corn early, as in large sections of the
country the seed is hopelessly dam

Why Do We PlowP


A clear understanding of this ques-
ton will help us in nearly all the work
upon the farm. We pillow because we
can not farm successfully without
plowing. The earth will produce with
out blowing, but the growth will be
composed mainly of the harder plants.
Plant food exists in the earth as
abundantly before we plow as after
ward. We do not create plant food
with the plow. Before we plow the
plant food is largely in an insoluble
condition. In this state plants can not
use it; hence we say it is unavailable.
Much of our food is not digestible in
it's raw state. We cook it to- help di-
gestion. We chew it to help digestion
still more. Plants can not digest sol
ids of any kind; so we must dissolve
the food we wish our crops to feed
upon.
Crushing or PulveriZing.-A
any substance will dissolve in water
more rapidly when crushed than when
in Jumps. The potash, phOsphoric acid,
lime and other elements of plant
growth are mixed in all our soils. They
exist in abundant quantities. Any
soil will produce if these are made sol
uble in water and plenty of water is
present to dissolve them.
The chief object of blowing is to Sc
cure and maintain these two condi-
tions.
The same result may be gained by
using the spade or any other tool
which will tear the soil to pieces; but
the universal verdict Of mankind is
that the plow will do this work at less
expense and more satisfactorily than
any other tool.
The soil must be broken in small
particles. If these particles are very
small, the soil will give up it's food
readily and produce large crops. If
made as fine as the dust under our
carriage wheels on the highways, we
would call it pulverized. Such soil
would produce very large crops. Bot
tom lands are made up of such parti-
cles, which have been foated down
from the hills and left on the lowlands.
In this condition the plant food is cas-
lily dissolved and readily taken up by
the plant roots.
Can the Hills be Made as Rich p
Chemical analysis shows that the hills
contain as much plant food as the bot
toms. Why, then, do they not produce
as large crops? Because the soil is
compact and the plant food is not sol
uble. By intelligent use of the plow
we can change this. We can increase
the depth of the soil and make it fine.
so that the food will dissolve. At the
