for they interfere with our digestion.
Besides all these troubles there is ii
long, dry drought upon us, and our
gardens have dried up and the money
has given out, and the cook is sick, and
have to hunt up kindling wood and
fire up the stove before sun-up and 20
to market, and there is a picnic on hand
tomorrow and one of the little grand
children got hurt on the jogging board.

corporosity interfcres with my alacrity.
Besides all this. the town is kept in
commotion about the Jug business, and
it has got into the courts and into the
churches, and folks have taken sides
and friends are alicnatcd, and Il man
don't dare to go to town hardly for
fear of being drawn into it. "a soft

arc not soft in these parts. "Whcn a
mans ways please the Lord He maketh
even his enemies to be at peace with
him.: but his ways don't seem to please
the Lord in Cartersvillc. for his enc
mics are not at peace with him. The
great question here is not about drink
ink or selling whisllcy. but is about the
right Of man to order Il bottle or &,
jug from Atlanta for his private use or
for medicinal purposes; and its agita-

much talk as the magma charta, and
both sides declare they Will take it to
the supreme court Of the United States

Then, again, Hon. Pope Brown, the
jealous president of the State Agricnl-
tural Society, says the State will not
prosper any more until the negroes are
sent away OF colonizcd; but if they

He says that education has ruined the
negro as labOrer, but how is it to be

oppose our people and to take sides
with our political enemies, who are
killing negroes i'll Indiana because they
want work.
And now the war party want negroes
to go to the Philippines and fight other
negroes. That would be n good de-

TO CUT STEEL BEAMS.
Recent Electrical Experiment in
Chicago which Saved Time
and Labor.

During the reconstruction of an
office building recently in Chicago an
interesting use was made Of the electric
current in cutting in tw< :: cluster of
half dCZen heavy steel seams which
It Was irCC sEaTy to IL move. =. ..cse beams
we're OF the ordinary :.!lnrc and Is
inches deep. Owing to ';,r difficulty
of getting at the beams ~ lie PLACE
whcr" G.uy were to be cut. Spe, iaI saws
would have been required had the
beams been cut in the ordinary way,
and il was estimated that the work
would take two men about 12 DAYS
time and cost about 500.
Instead of doing the work with hack
saws, cieihod was adopted such as
scientific burglars invented for getting
into safe and vault doors of steel. 4
current of electricity was brought in
from the electric lighting wires in the
street to do the work. The positive
terminal wire was attached TO the steel
frame work Of the building. to which
the beams were riveted, and the nega-
tive wire was attached to q carbon
point lH inches in diameter. which was
provided with wooden handle to en-.
able the operator TO direct it along the
beams at the places where they were
TO be cut. An asbestos shield protect
ed the operators body from the heat
and black spcctacles protected his eyes.
In IL hours the beams were severed,
with an expenditure of only about five
horse power in electric current, and
the work was done ny an ordinary
workman.

Pats RenSoninR

Some years ago an IriShman named
Pat Noonan had vegetable stand in
one of the city markets. Pat was q
chronic kicker. One day he was COM
planning to the superintendent of the
market that the rent of his stall was
altogether too high, and after giving
various reasons why it should be ma
terialy reduced, he wound up by sol
emily declaring that he was losing at
least $1,000 year.
"Well, Pat, if that's the case" said
the superintendent dryly, I'D advise
you to sell out and quit the business at
once. You certainly can't afford to
keep on if you are running behind ST.
900 a year."
''Sure, an l know it, said Pat philo-
sophically. 1.-THE business is ruinin me
intirely, but | moight ez we'll sthick to
it now that I'm at it. I've got to do
somethin TO make a livin an if l quit
sellin cabbages an praties an start at
some other thrade 1 moight be afther
lOSin more yet, I Dunno"
The superintendent concluded to low
er Mr.. NoOnan'S rent and allow him to
remain in the vegetable business

BRYAN LOSING IN THE WEST.

In speaking of the political situation
in the West, that it was not so much
a question of silver, expansion or i'm
| perialism with the forces allied against
the Republican party, but it was a
| question with the fusion people to see
whether they could keep toge Their.
"All over the Western country the
fusion forces are torn asunder," said
the senator, "and it will require the
best manipulation of Mr.. Bryan and
his followers to unity the several par
ties which came together in 1896 into
one aggressive party in 1899. My own
State, Nebraska, is a fair sa mple of
the disintegrating elements now going
on among the fusion forces. We have
a supreme judge and two regents of
the state university to elect this year,
and it was an exceedingly hard propo-
sition on the part of the fusion forces
to unite on the ex-governor, Silas w.
Holcomb, for the position of supreme
Judge. This shows, in my min d, the
conditions which the fusion party

question of currency or expansion,
but how far can the fusion forces go

ceptable to the masses of the several

ion" "Under present conditions, do
you think Mr.. Bryan will be the nomi-
nee of the allied forces?" 81 trust so.

he did in 1896"

A Marriage Fee.

A clergyman Of Georgia was once
standing in the courthouse when a
HOoSier came in to see the ordinary in
order to procure a marriage license.
The cOuntryman asked for "a pair of
licenses" and on making the purchase
necessary to being united in the holy
bonds of matrimony inquired Of the
ordinary, "Who can I git to marry
me?'
The ordinary replied that he could
perform the ceremony, or the parson,
standing near, would probably accom-
mediate him. The countryman turned
to the parson and asked if he would
marry him. The parson readily con-
sented and asked the would be bride
groom, ''Where's your gal?''
He replied, "Out yonder-in the
street."
The parson said, "Fetch her in
Then she was "fotch' in and the

the parsOn the amount of indebtedness
incurred and was told that no charge
was made, but that he always left the
matter for the bridegroom to decide.

STUDY THE SOIL.

For the economical application of
fertilizers il is necessary to make
something CT study of the soil. Clay
soils as rule contain sufficient potash
but they are likely to need either
nitrogen or phospboric acid, and are
usually benefited by both. Complete
fertilizers should not be applied by
the farmer without reservation. They
are only complete as they meet the
requirements of his soil. On clay soils
bone meal is usually a very effective
fertilizer. Itsupplies phosphoric acid
and also lime, which usually exerts
beneficial mechanical effect on clay.
Acid phosphate or South Carolina rock
acts in the same way except that it
contains no nitrogen. The average
sandy soil is always deficient in all of
the three principal fertilizing constit-
uents. 1t is not only necessary to
supply the soil therefore with nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash but Or
ganic matter will prove beneficial as
we'll. If barnyard manure is not avail
able blowing under green crops will
serve the result. By a systematic
method of rotation and pasturage to-
gether with the use of commercial
fertilizers, sandy soils can be brought
to the highest state of productiveness.
In the determination of what kind of
fertilizer and how much shall be ap-
piled to particular soil the farmer
must be his own guide-he must make
his own field experiments and profit
by them from year to year.

The demand for stock and feeding
cattle, which has been a little slack
for some time, is beginning to pick
up. The shipments from western
markets to the country last week
were the heaviest of the season.
Eastern men have also bought rather
freely during the last two weeks.
With a magnificent crop practically
assured in the west, and with pretty
good prospect in most parts of the
eastern feeding country, we may look
for large demand for feeding cattle
before very long. We may reasonably
expect also that prices will be pushed
to higher level. They are now plenty
high enough in view of the market for
fat stock, but it will not be strange if
they advance under the competition
which always follows a good corn
harvest. Experienced feeders believe
that the man who buys early and fin
ishes early will not make any mistake
this year. He will thus avoid the rush
at both ends of the line. That is why
some of these men are laying in their
feeding cattle right now.
