DUDLEY TRACKS COST MONEY.

Webster Aug. 1O.-Stockholders of the

townspeople in general are wondering
whether the directors of the local road

Worcester and Webster road running
It's cars over the local tracks when that
road is completed.
Ihe directors of the Worcester road
have petitioned to run their cars over
the Webster track beginning at a point

two roads connect, and to the post Of

rant OF the Webster road was seen by
the WEBSTER correspondent of The Spy
To-Day in relation to the matter and in
reply to a question whether the local
road had decided to enter any protest
or not, Mr.. Flint said that there would
De none made. He said that all the d.
rectors felt as he does about the mat
Ter, and that they are unanimously
willing to have the Worcester road
operated on their tracks providing they
pay just and reasonable compensa'
ton for the same.
Mr.. Flint said that, however. they
would not agree to the price offered by
the Worcester people. They have Of
Iered nine cents a car mite to utilize
the Webster tracks, but the superin-
.tendent said he did not think that price
would be accepted. Mr. Flint further
said that the Webster road will ask a
price that all Worcester roads pay.
providing the Worcester cars are run
on local tracks, the Worcester and
webster road will have to fork over to
the local road four cents for every pas
senger they carry.
Suppose now" said the superin-
tendent, there is ball game for in

its cars to that pleasure resort, as they
are going to be much larger than ours

more at least than our cars can. where
VIII we be at? They will take away

charge them four cents for every pas
senger they take on in Webster we
would come out of the little end of the
norm. Mr.. Flint voices the sentiment of
all the other directors.

MOVING FORWARD.
Charlton Votes to Have New School
Building and viii Consider Electric
Road

Building and Will Consider Electric
Road.
Charlton City, Aug. 1O.-The town
meeting of Monday afternoon proved a
boomerang for the projectors of it. They
claimed that the meeting of July 10 was
sprung upon them in the midst of
haying, so they in turn sprung one on
those busy at mills and stores, but the
need of new school building is so APP
parent that the voters turned out in
large numbers, though the opposing
party out numbered the others. After
much animated discussion, the vote of
July 10 was rescinded, and then enough
of that party deserted the ranks and
came over to the philosophical side of
the town to carry the vote for the ar
ticles just rescinded and place the mat
ter where it was before the meeting
was called. A sum not to exceed $4,000
was appropriated for a new school
building and lot, and the old building
is to be repaired for primary use The
same building committee was appoint
ed, which shows the people at large
had confidence in their judgment and
ability. Charlton still lives and is
moving to the front.
Winnifred Wheelock of GreenVille has
decided to accept the grammar school

SENSATION ON A BUSY STREET.

Southbridge, Aug. 10.-Two men, APP
parently tramps, held up Louis Lari-
Were, on Central street, last night, for
the purpose of robbing him, and but
for the forcible arguments he advanced
in the shape of two very well managed
fists, they might have been successful.
Lariviere is preparing to go on a va
cation and had quite a roll of bills
with him. and in taking out to pay a
bill in one of the stores, he noticed
that two men had their eyes on him,
and they evidently kept him in mind
until he started to go home, when they
succeeded in getting ahead of him.
The thugs awaited him in dark place
on that street, which is one of the most
thickiy settled in town
The men boldly stepped out and
stopped him. They, however. had
rallied to size up their man, for he was
one that could look out for himself
very well, and soon proved it by
promptly knocking one Of his assaii-
ants down, and keeping the other man
at arms length until the noise of APP
preaching people on the much Travelled
street made the thugs take safety in
flight.
The occurrence, on a street that is
used to the extent that Central street
is, of this kind, caused considerable
talk and IAN effort will be made to To-
cate the men, who would be recognized
If seen again.
Tomorrow a public hearing will be
given by the selectmen on the question
OF the new street railway to Charlton
and the citizens will be given a chance
to express any objection, If they have
any, to the proposed road. 1t is not
anticipated that an objection will be
raised, for If any had objections thew
would be in such a small minority to
the people who want the new road that
they will not voice their objection. Ev-
erything looks very promising for an
early beginning Of the work on the
new road

Missionary Giving.

Let US train the young people in
the art and blessedness of. giving
There is philosophy in what the
Master said, "It is more blessed to
give than to receive" Few people
have learned this truth. Selishness
is the rule. Mnltitudes think that
the amount given in benevolence is
SO much lost or thrown away. Some
body has said something like this:
What We have given is saved; what
we have withheld has been lost. The
habit Of giving certainly ought to be
inculcated and encouraged. Our
gifts have richer influence upon our
lives than upon the lives of the recip
tents OF our bene6cence. "Give and
it shall be given to you," is the prom
Use Of the Master.

One of the most significant changes
that give promise of Transforming
the South is the attention now given
to the cultivation of wheat and fruits
instead of the traditional cotton.
Last year experiments were made in
northern Alabama, Georgia and
North Carolina in raising wheat, and
SO fur as reported they were highly
successful. A Macon paper recalls
the fact that Georgia wheat took a
prize at the first worlds fair at vi
emma, and that Georgia flour has
since taken prizes at Baltimore and
st. Louis expositions. The same pa
per says that one acre of Georgia
land has a record of 1O4 bushels to
the acre, and that good land in the
middle of the State produces from
eighteen to twenty-five bushels,
against an average of fifteen bushels
m acre for the whole country.

COMM. BACK TO KANSAS.

They're comm back to Kansas,
They're a'crossin' ON the bridge;
You can see their mover wagons
On top Of every ridge
On the highways and the turnpikes
You can hear their wagons hum.
For they're comm back to Kansas,
And they're coming on the run.
Who's a'cOmin' back to Kansas?
Why, the migratory crowd
Who left the State some months ago
With curses long and loud;
Aud they swOre by the Eternal
That they never would return
To this Kansas land Internal
Where the hot winds blast and burn;
Where the rivers run in riot
When they want it to be dry
Where the sun so fiercely scorches
When they want u cloudy sky.
So they loa:ed up the children
And they whistied for the dogs;
Tied a COW behind the wagon,
To the butcher sold the hogs;
Hitched the ponies to the schooner,
Turned her prov toward the east,
Left this beastly State of Kansas
For land of fat and feast.
Did they find it? Naw-they didn't?
Though they roamed the country DER,
From the lakes up in the Northland
To the far off ocean shore.
And they found that other sections
Had their tales of woe to sing;
At the breakin' forth of spring.

Soy Bean.

The Kansas Experiment Station
has been growing the soy bean for the
past ten years, starting with a small
patch, and increasing the area until
last year IS acres were grown. It is
q good drought resister, is not touch
ed by chinch bugs and the beans are
richer in protein than linseed meal.
With sufficient moisture to germinate
them. q crop can be grown after
wheat and oats are harvested. In
1896 the yield on ground after wheat
was 8 bushels per acre. in 1898 81
bushels. With linseed meal at $25
per ton, these crops after wheat
would be worth Sc and $4.6S per
acre. When planted earlier in the
season, the yield Of soy beans is from
10 to 20 bushels per acre. The soy
bean not only furnishes q crop rich
in protein, but at the same time en-
riches the soil. Henry Rogler. one
of our graduates, reports an increase
in large fields of S bushels of wheat
per acre on land where soy beans
had previously been grown. over land
that had not been in soy beans.
With dairy cows soy leans meal
takes the place of linseed meal, being
richer in protein, a laxative
feed and softening the butter fat.
Not over three pounds a day should
be fed to a COW, and the softening ef-
Fect on the butter may be overcome
