FOR ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING.
Milton c. Booker Sent to the stock
ade in Atlanta.

Atlanta, Feb. 19.-Milton c. Booker was
sentenced this afternoon to thirty days
in the stockade for trying to decoy Ruth
Glass, a pretty, bright-eyed 14-year-o
girl, off to St Louis with him.
Booker is % years old and is married.
His attachment for the young girl dates
back two or three years. Booker wrote
the girl proposing an elopement. When
Miss Glass received the letter she imme-
diately took il to her mother. Her broth
er, Jarvis B. Glass, was also consulted,
and the family decided to have Booker
arrested for attempted kidnapping.
The brother called on Judge Broyles and
laid the matter before him. In order to
satisfy himself that Booker wrote the
letter, the brother had another sister write
a note to Booker, telling him that his let
ter had been received, and she was sur
prised to hear from him. In this decoy
letter the writer asked if she must tell
her mother of the proposed trip to St
Louis.
The bearer of the note brought back
to the brother a short note in reply in
which Booker advised the young girl to
keep mum and everything will come out
all o. X. l will write you to- morrow"
AS soon as Jarvis Glass received the note
he had Booker arrested. Booker declares
that he was drunk when the letters were
written.

ADVICE TO THE FARMERS.
Commissioner stevens on Improving
Cotton Land.

COmnlssiOher stevens ON improving
Cotton Land.
Atlanta, Feb. Accommodations Stevens
monthly talk. to be issued tomorrow, will
urge upon the Georgia farmers the neces-
sity of rotating their crops and counsel a
general reduction of the cotton acreage.
He points out the increased output of cot
ton, which in the past thirty years has
been fourfold, leaping from 100000 to
II 100000 bales, which has necessarily been
deteriorating to the soil, and offers the
following suggestion as to the best means
TO build up these rundown lands:
Nothing in our experience will restore
wasted and thin lands 50 rapidly and ef-
fectually as the COW pea. After you cut
your grain In the spring sow the land
down in peas. After the first frost, turn
under the vines and seed to wheat or oats.
Continue this rotation for three years and
you can increase the fertility of your land
three-fold. The pea vine is to the South
what the clover is to the West"
In addition to the advice given by Com
missioner Stevens, the bulletin contains
an article by State School Commissioner
Glenn on the education of the farmer and
the dignity of agriculture, showing the
community of interest between the depart
ments of education and agriculture.

Thoughts On a Book.

| am in receipt of book on railroads, pub
lished by Crane & Co.. Topeka, and written by
Jesse Hardesty. The author disclaims parti
sanship. The volume is in four parts. Con-
struction, Cost, Operation and Control are each
in turn, treated concisely and logically. The
wrongs of the people, and especially the farm
ers, fully presented, but there is appeal
to passion or prejudice. Expert engineers
quoted to show the cost of construction. Mile
age is grouped. Gross net earnings are given
as reported by the interstate commerce COM
mission; also, the salaries and wages of EN-
ployes Legislation and court decisions are
treated of. The author closes with an appeal
to farmers to organize for the purpose of secur-
ing favorable government action The authors
idea is to have non partisan organization that
would be Obligated to work, but fee to work
in the ranks of the party of their choice. AL
together, it is one of the best books | have
seen on the railroad question, and should be in
the hands OF every farmer in the United States.

PORTO RICO TARIFF BILL.

For some time, the authorship of the Porto
Rico tariff bill was a mystery, but investiga-
ton proves that Henry T. Oxnard, of Grand
Island, Neb., is the author. He represents the
sugar trust in Washington, disguised as sugar.
beet farmer He is one of the "slickest" lob
byists ever known at the national capitol. Ac-
cording to the Chicago Record, Oxnard owns a
beet-sugar factory at Grand Island, which he
buill with money contributed by the farmers
about ,hat place, in order that they might have
a market for their beets-and they have been
fighting MIN for reasonable prices ever since
Whenever congress is in session, OxnaTd IS q
hand, watching the interests of the sugar trust,
an he has earned his wages many times over.
1t was this man Oxnard who discovered that
the $4,000, 900 invested in beet-sugar factories
would be wasted, and that the tobacco interests
of Connecticut and Pennsylvania would be
ruined, If we had free trade with Porto Rico.

Just let HIM "shoot his mouth Off at the tar
get of railway robbery. 1t is impossible for a
Republican to believe that anything that does
not proceed from Hanna is either right or desir-
able. An anti-railroad -eXtortion club would
run serious risk of being robbed in great
many localities, unless such club had Hanna's
endorsement. Everybody, outside the Repub-
lican party, is opposed to railway extortion
Everybody in the Republican party is for the
bosses, ir.t, last and all the time. However,
the situation does not destroy the value OF the
