THAN DEWEY AFFAIR.

vised Calling It-BeIieves 1t VIII

Visit Macon and Then Savannah
During the Reunion.
Atlanta. Sept. 15.-Gov. Gambler thinks
the trust problem IS more important than
the Dewey celebration, and if ne can find
the time he will attend the antitrust con-
vention in St Louis on Sept %, called by
Gov. Savers of Texas
He Is, in a sense, one of the sponsors of
this convention. for when Gov. Savers
conceived the idea of calling it. he first
wrote to two of his former colleagues in
Congress. Gov. Mcmillan of Tennessee and
Gov. Gambler of Georgia.
They both conceded with his views that
the calling of such a convention would be
of incaculable benefit. and the call was
accordingly issued. The original intention
was to hold Il in Nashville. but It became
of such magnitude that ST, Louis was then
chosen. Gov. Gambler says he would have
attended it sure had it been held in Nash
Vile, and he will do so now unless his
duties absolutely prevent.
In view of the Governor utterances to-
day il may be said that he had 10 choose
between the Dewey celebration in New
York and the antitrust convention In St
Louis, and that he chose the latter, be-
lieving il may he of more real good to the
country than the honors paid Dewey.

Agricultural Department Gives Adj
vice to Farmers.

Agricultural Department Gives Adj
vice to Farmers.
Atlanta, Sept. 15-The force in the de-
partment of agriculture was busy to-day
sending out the bulletin just issued on
commercial fertilizers. The department
has had numerous requests from different
parts of the state for this bulletin, and
Assistant Commissioner Wright says that
all interested parties who desire a copy can
get the same by writing to the department.
The commissioner advises the farmers to
abandon credit prices and reduce their
farms to where they can be run on a cash
basis. He points out that everything that
can be raised on the farm should he raised
there and that the aim Of the department
is TO aid the agricultural classes in in
creasiug the farmers profit by reducing
the cost of production.
He recommends rotation in crops end be-
lieves in drainage, irrigation. teri dcing,
blowing deep on red lands. and narrowing
and rolling. He says that the practical
farmer who makes farming a success will
keep all the stock he can maintain. and
that stock of every variety should be kept,
but only the improved breed.
He also believes in the industrial educa-
ton of our children and thinks the future
of agriculture depends largely on that.

TALL LILIES FROM EGYPT.
Like Those which Are said to Have
Concealed the Infant Moses.

Concealed the infant Moses.
From the New York Nail and Express.
Filling the southwest corner of the lag
Don at the upper end of Central Park Is
a large patch of a rather uncommon type
Of water lily. These plants attract much
attention, for their tall green stems. huge
leaves and beautiful rose-colored flowers
are conspicuous from a distance.
The plant is known as the Egyptian To-
tus (nelumbium epeciosum) and Is well
known TO those who have seen the river
Nile. They grow close together and null
tiply rapidly. The stem of the average
Egyptian lotus IS one to two inches in
diameter. They stand five, six or even
seven feet above the surface of the water
and grow perhaps two or three feet be-
low. The roots spread out along the bot
tom of the lake and here and there throw
out shoots to such an extent that whole
grove of the plants may come from one
parent stem. These roots sometimes at
tain the size of a mans arm.
The stem are smooth and a bright green
color. They grow straight up from the
roots and each one bears a leaf or
flower. The leaves are much in the ma
jOrity. They are very large-from two TO
two and a half feet in diameter and turn
up from the center, where the stem Joins
them, giving the appearance of an umbrel-
la turned inside out
The occasional flowers have longer
stems and rear their heads proudly above
the leaves. The flowers are beautiful when
full blown, being six or eight inches in
diameter, and of delicate rose pink, fad
ing away to a creamy white at the base
of the petals Like many beautiful things
they are short lived and at the end Of
their third day in bloom the petals drop
off rapidly. leaving only the seed pod,
which is three or four inches wide at the
top, and funnel shaped In the top are
seven or eight holes like the pores of a
sponge, each one holding a seed.
When the stem withers in the autumn
the seed pod bends over and drops It's
seeds into the water, so that the next
year there will be a colony of lotuses. So
rapid is the rate at which they multiply
that the roots have 10 be separated from
the rest of the pond by a fall. so that
they may not cover the entire little body
of water.
The face of each flower incines toward
the south, TO drink in the suns heat and
nourishment, and many lost travellers from
the days of Pharaoh TO the present time
have obtained their bearings from the in
variable inclination of the lotus flowers
The lotus is one of the oldest known
plants. 1t is even said that il was among
their tail stalks and sheltering leaves that
the baby Moses was found.
These plants have been imported to this
country in large numbers, as they are I'M
usually decorative. The gardeners at Cen,
trail park declare that they will grow az
well here as in their native waters, and
are very hardy.

LARGE CROP OF CANDIDATES.
Aspirants for Office Making Things
Warm in SandersviIIe.


Sandersville, Ga, Sept. 15-City political
affairs are warming up in Sandersville,
and by the time the election occurs on the
first Wednesday in October, will be at
white heat. Five tickets have been pub
lished in the local papers. and several
more, it is said, will be brought out next
week.
There are many aspirants for the emolu-
ments of city office, and there is such a
multiplicity of candidates that the voters
do not know where they are at" If the
number of tickets increases much faster
there will be more candidates for Mayor
and aldermen than there are voters.
A paper calling for white primary cleo
ton has been signed by nearly every white
voter, and it is quite probable that a pri-
mary election will be held next Thursday
Sept. q. When the matter will be def
nitely settled. This is the only plan that
could be adopted to avoid a disgraceful
scramble at the polls, with the colored vot-
ers standing by demanding the highest bid
for his ballot, as has been done here in
previous municipal contests. All conserv-
ative citizens will be glad when the election
is over, and would also be gratifed if the
franchise were restricted to unpurchasa-
bic voters.
The cotton receipts at this place are
heavy for this season of the year. The
hot weather has forced cotton 10 open very
rapidly. All farmers in this section con-
cur in the opinion that the crop will soon
be harvested and will be much shorter
than the early receipts now indicate. Some
farmers have good crops of an kinds, but
the majority report poor prospects.

Ola BOY IN COnnecIIcuIs
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Hartford, Conn. Sept. 12.-Paul House
child years old, living on William Cross
Place, in Mansfield, narrowly escaped be-
ing carried off by an eagle yesterday.
Heavily timbered hills and wild country
surround the Cross Place. which is three
quarters of a mile north of Gurleyville,
in Mansfield Windham county. Farm
houses are scarce in the neighborhood,
which has long been known as the abode
of eagles, which have built their nests on
a lofty crag on the William Cross Place,
off the Eagleville road. In the early fall
the great birds often carry off hens and
geese, and in some cases the loss of sheep
has been attributed to them
Three children of Julius Household on
the Cross Place. were some distance from
home yesterday afternoon in a pasture
on their way to a neighbours for milk.
They were playing horse, with Paul as
driver, when a shadow fell near them.
One of them looked up and screamed.
Next moment a bird swooped down ana
plunged its talons into Pauls clothing
His sister and brother, although terribly
frightened, held fast to the rope they were
using for reins. The eagle lifted the boy,
who weighs forty-fiVe pounds, three or
four feet from the ground, and would have
carried him away had not his playmates
seized his feet and fought the great bird
with sticks and clubs until it let 60 Paul
also attacked the eagle with the milk pail
which he was carrying. Hurrying home
the children told their story. Paul was
somewhat lacerated and his clothes were
torn by the eagles talOns, and he was
very much frightened. Half a dozen
farmers took their guns and went to look
for the eagle, but could get no sight Of
1t or its mate. They went out again this
afternoon without success
At the session of the legislature two
years ago Mr.. Main introduced a bill re-
pealing the law forbidding the killing OF
eagles He said he had lost sheep, geese
and other animals, and that farming
would cease 10 be profitable if these large
birds of prey were allowed to exist. II
was then thought that he was exaggerat-
ing the danger but many depredations
have since been reported in New London
and Windham counties, but this is the
first instance on record of an eagles at
tempt TO carry off a child in this state
The eagle was fully eight feet from tin
to tip of wings.
