About Rescue Grass.

QUESTION. Please give me all the in.
formation you can in regard to rescue
grass?
ANSWER. Rescue grass is probably
the finest grass for winter grazing, and
the most prolific grass of southern lati-
sudes. The grass requires rich loamy
soil, and comes up in September, grow.
ing rapidly during even the the coolest
winter. 1t affords rich pasturage of
the most succulent stems and leaves
from Dec l. to May /, or it may DO
moved for hay two or three times dur.
ing April and May, and then allowed to
mature crop of seed. which in gather
ing will shatter, or leave enough seed
on the groudd to reseed the land, so
that one sowing, if properly treated,
will suffice. After moving two or three
times, from 100 to $50 bushels of seed
may be made on an acre. The seed may
be sown from June to February.
There are some peculiarities about
this grass seed. They will not germi.
nate in summer. The colder the weather
in winter, the faster it grows, unless
the stems have commenced jointing,
when freeze will kill it down, only to
come out again, however, greatly in.
creased in thickness When not moved,
the grass grows slowly. but when it is
moved or grazed upon, the growth is
FASTENED. The plats upon which the
grass has been sown can be broken up
from June to 10, fertilized. and sown
in peas, or planted in corn and field
beans. BY this method the grass will
not only be improved, but splendid crops.
of peavine hay, or of corn and beans can
be made. The seed that are left ON the
ground in May will lie dormant until
the cool nights in September.
The seed are quoted by seed men at
% cents per pound, but about 100
pounds may be obtained from Dr.. A.
M. Winn & Son of Lawrenceville, Ca,
at 10 cents per pound, or - cents per
pound if as much as 10 pounds are
bought; also 100 pounds can be obtained
from Mr.. J. Z. Baxter of Suwanee, Ga,
at the same price. The foregoing in.
formation Is furnished largely by Mr..

CONCERNING PLATFORMS.
Political Issues Which VIII be
Weighed in the Next Presi-
dental Campaign.

There is great deal of discussion go
ing on just now about the political is
sues which will be paramount in the
campaign of 1900.
1t is early to discuss such questions
and the entire political situation may
change with the next ten months.
However, there is no harm in takinS'
look ahead, and there are certai.
things which may be considered fore
gone conclusions.
In discussing this matter, w. j. Bryan
recently said:
ITO my mind, no greater question ever
confronted any people in the world than
the question which now confronts us. For
100 years this nation has stood almost alone
among the nations of the earth as the ad-
vocate of those principles written In the
declaration of independence, that a gov
eminent derives its power from the con-
sent of the governed
This is the greatest truth that has
ever lived in this republic, and we have
announced for more than a century to all
the nations of the earth that the people
themselves are the source Of power. This
is democratic, and, my friends. | would
rather see the democratic party go down,
never to be heard of again. than to have IL
controlling power.
Il believe that the doctrine of imperial
ism strikes at the very foundation of our
institutions. / would have been glad to
have had the chance of calling the demo-
cratic party together and securing from the
democrats of the nation a declaration of
policy, but it has heretofore been mpossi-
Bile. and therefore, democrats have had to
take their position in accordance with their
IDEAS on this question.
THE republican party in the next cam
paign Will be held responsible for every
drop of blood that has been shed in the
Philippines. They have put price upon
human blood and upon the hardships and
privations Of our soldiers. They have an
nounced TO the country that they adopted
a policy of Imperialism, but they say that
the trade we are going to secure will pay
us for the soldiers and the treasure We have
lost in securing it.
Il do not believe the people of this coun-
try will indorse such a policy, and do not
believe people anywhere who love freedom
and liberty will indorse it,"
There can be no doubt that this will
be considered sound democratic doc
trine by the members of the party of
the people and, indeed, it may be truth
fully said that there are many infuen-
tial republican leaders who go as far in
denouncing Imperialism as does Will

To Remove south.

Arrangements ere being made for
the removal of the Springvale cotton
mills, of Springvale, Me-, to the south.
The plant is to located at Fort Valley,
Ga, and will be operated under its
present capital, 100000. The removal
will be the second from York county,
as about one year ago the plant and
business of the Portsmouth cotton
mill, of South Berwick. a small corpo-
ration. were taken south. The Spring
vale concern, which was established in
1887, has been running only part of
the time during the past year, owing
to lack of orders. High taxes and
too much competition are among the
chief reasons given for the removal.
The plant is one of 10000 spindles and
800 looms, manufacturing light twills
and sateens. AS inducements for the
removal of the plant, exemption from
taxation for ten years, a 50,0000-gallon
per day water supply for the same pc
riod, and the fact that 100000 bales Of
cotton are marketed at Fort Valley
annually were the inducements offered.

The progressive methods which have

comparatively brief time to work a re-
markable change in a large section of
the dry goods industry. Southern
manufacturers are not satisfied with
having their cotton in the back yard,
and their coal in the cellar" as the
phrase goes; they are determined to
sell their product direct to the retail

goods, but in the form of garments.
