HOGS HELP IN THE CROP.
Unusual Method Of CuItivating Cotton in
Randolph County.

From the Cuthbert Leader
The other day Mr., John Gum was
in the field where one of his negre ten
ants was blowing when he saw coming
along drove of hogs. "Whose hogs
are those 2" asked Mr.. Dunn.
They're NINE" was the reply.
"Why haven't you got them in the
pasture 2"

GROVER STILL DISCOUNTED.
Says Democratic Managers Have Done
Nothing 10 Secuce Party Harmony.


Grover Cleveland at his summer
home, Gray Gables, has expressed his
opinion of the democratic platform
adopted at Kansas City.
II most ardently hoped and Geslr-
ed" he said, "that the platform to be
constructed at Kansas City would be
consistent with the professions OF
those in charge of the democratic
management, namely, that harmonic
ing discordant sentiment in the party
should be an object of supreme impor-
lance. In these circumstances, the
incorporation of a specific demand for
free silver at the ratio of 16 to is, OF
course, a great surprise and disappoint-
ment.
son the basis of such declaration
the method by which the party is to
be harmOnized and democracy is to

thinking and reflective citizens is be-

AS regards the democratic ticket
MIR. Cleveland would have nothing to
say.
"What would be the use?" he asked.

ELECTION RESULT AS TOLD BY STARS.
AstrOIoger Does Not Regard McKinley's
Prospects as So FIattering as Before.

Prospects as So Fatterng as Before.
Professor John B. Sullivan, of Yon-
kers, New York, says that four years
ago he read the stars and decided that
Mckinley was sure to be elected On
the strength of this previous success
the professor has again consulted the
planets and the lesser lights of the
heavens for an election forecast, only
to find at present the stars are against
Mckinley and, presumably, favor
Bryan.
1t is observed, however, that this
time the astrologer is not, as he de-
dominates it, ''cock sure" Indeed,
Professor Sullivan declares that his
prediction that Mckinley will not be
elected is not published as sure to
come true. 1t is merely review of
testimony, according to the Arabian
system of astrology, and the professor
will esteem it favor to hear from
students who may differ from him.
According to this Yonkers reading,
the trouble is that the nomination of
Mckinley was delayed for one day. If
it had been intended that he was to be
president again he would have been
named upon June 20, as the people ex-
pected it. Instead he was not nominat-
ed until after noon June u.
Unfortunately, at the time McKin-
ley was declared the unanimous choice
of the convention Venus was the ruler
of the eighth house, the "house of
death, :" which Professor Sullivan con-
cludes, looks very bad for Mckinley.
This is not all, for the moon was in the
seventh house. The moon indicates
the people and the seventh house is
the abode of ones enemies. The sun
and Saturn in opposition to each other
from cadent houses indicates the end
of the matter, referring, the reader of
the stars concludes, to McKinleys
term of Office.
Then, too, the position of Jupiter in
the second house shows that the
wealthy classes will bring money into
the campaign to no purpose, except
as is proved by the position of Mars in
the second and seventh houses, to Dol
ster up the democrats. Venus destroys
the last hope, for she is on her way to
the eleventh house, the "hOuse OF sor-
row."

A QUEER FAMILY.
A Plymouth Rock Hen Matches Out Convey
Of Quail.

- TWIN ttSh Ouk q SONOy
ofQuail.
From the Albany Herald
In the yard of Mr.. J. NJ. Tiff, on
Jefferson street, may be seen one of
the most interesting families ever
gathered into a barnyard, chicken
house, forest, field or menagerie. 1t
consists of large barred Plymouth
Rock heu and brood of ten healthy,
vigorous Georgia quail.
Several weeks ago while Mr.. Tiff
was experimenting the clearing
up OF field of "new ground" on
his Sand Hill place, just across Flint
river, the laborers discovered a. quail
nest full of newly laid eggs. They
were fifteen in number, and Mr.. Tiff
brought them home, as the destruc-
tion of the nest insclearing up the field
could not be avoided.
1t happened that just at the time
one of Mr.. Tits hens, a'fne Plymouth
Rock fowl, was endeavoring to set,
though there were but two eggs in her
nest. Not knowing what else to do
with the quail eggs, Mr.. Tiff decided
to put them under the clucking Ply
mouth Rock, whose laudable ambition
to become the mother of feathered
family deserved to be rewarded.
Last Friday number of tiny ''peep
peeps" from the nest gave notice that
the process of incubation had been
completed, and an examination showed
that ten of the fifteen quail eggs had
Matched. The hen and her stepchil-
dren were removed to large cage in
the yard, where they have since lived
happily and peacefully.
The hen is as fussy as the average
barnyard fowl with brood of young,
and the little quail are apparently de-
voted to her as though they were Of
her own blood. They hover under her
wings just as common, every day bic
dies do and even climb up on her back
or hide in the thick feathers of her
neck. When one of them gets out of
the cage it "peeps" Justify until re
turned to its protector, who showers
on her proteges very tender care.
The little fellows, contrary to what
would be naturally expected, are quite
tame and do not exhibit much alarm
when handled by human beings. The
queer brood is certainly very interest
ing and well worth going to see.

NONE CLOSED TO BRITISH

MERCHANTS.
BY Not Making Cape Nome a Port of
Francisco VIII Get Business.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 19.-The
effort instituted by the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce to check the
movement to make of Cape Nome a
SUPPORT of entry bids fair to prove
successful, for the Treasury Depart
ment of the United States now states
that no further steps will be taken in
the matter. Senator Perkins writes to
the chamber that he has held a lengthy
conference with the department and is
satisfied that the wishes of Pacific
Coast shippers from points within the
United States will be respected This
intelligence has been confirmed by
letter from Congressman julius Kahn,
who writes that General Spaulding,
Acting Secretary of the Treasury, has
assured him that nothing will be done
in the matter by the Government at
present and that personally General
Spaulding is with the merchants in the
! matter and opposed to making Cape
Nome a port of entry.
The settlement of this question will
quiet the anxieties of many business
men in this state as well as in Oregon
and Washington, who have been maxi
| ing preparations to supply the Nome
trade this coming season, as well as
owners of shipping engaged in the pas
senger and freight business, but who
would, in the case of the blishment
of port of entry, have most formidable
rivals in the British, who, having a
much shorter course from Vancouver
northward could easily have outsailed
them and virtually monOpolzed trade
and transportation. That their appre-
tensions were not groundless is dem
Onstrated by the recent advertisements
| spread broadcast by British steamer
lines which have announced themselves
ready to contract to carry freight be-
/ tween these points and Nome. Under
existing conditions merchantmen of
British Columbia are obliged to dis =
charge their cargoes at Dutch Harbor
or st. Michaels while Americans can go
straight to Nome giving the latter an
advantage which they naturally pre-
| fer to maintain.

MEMORANDA.

The steamer Iwalani was at Kukui-
haele yesterday and the Mikahala at
Honoipu, the latter being about to leave
for Honolulu.
The Noeau reports very rough wealth
er to windward. She was compelled
to put into Mahukona on the 2lst for
shelter, and for three days afterwards
almost a gale was kept up.
The Mango Maru was held in quar-
antine for thirty-seven days at Port
Townsend. IT is held that one of the
cases on her was plague. After re-
leasing the vessel the health authori-
ties at Port Townsend notified the state
health officers of California, Oregon
and Washington that one case of bu-
bonic plague existed on the Nanyo
Maru and the vessel was held thirty
seven days in quarantine. Fourteen of
the passengers are bound for Califor-
MIA, seven for Oregon and sixteen for
Washington. This information was fur
nished to state health officers for the
purpose of enabling them to maintain
such surveillance over arriving immi-
grants as might be deemed necessary

NEW NAVAL LIGHT.
TO Do Away With Search Lights in
War Time.


WASHINGTON, March 1S.--Experi-
ments have been conducted recently at
the naval proving station at Indian
Head with an invention designed to do
away with the necessity of using
searchligihts on shipboard on occasions
when it is desired to pick up" objects
within limited distance and yet con-
ceal the ships position form the enc
my. The invention consists of a shell
filled with gas. When the shell ex-
plodes it Eliminates considerable
area. Its one weak point is that so
far no shell has been found with walls
sufficiently heavy to Withstand the
shock of the explosion required to pro-
ject it more than a mile or two. Four
and siX-inch rifles have so far been used
in the trials, and the best results Sc
cured have been with a shell that ex-
plOdes and sets the fuses burning when
one mile distant from the ship.
Lieutenant Strauss, who has charge
of the station, has made some very
successful trials with the invention re-
Gently and is encouraged to believe
that if shell can be made which will
stand the shock of exit from the rife
and at the same time explode at the
proper time, a light can be produced
that will answer many purposes of the
searchlight and have the advantage OF
not disclosing the precise location Of
the vessel firing the torch. Its useful
ness would be apparent In a closed har-
Dor, where it might not be advisable
to use a searchlight at all times.
After the tests have been concluded
at Indian Head several specially made
projectiles filled with the new invention
will be sent to some of the ships with
the request that they continue the trials
when practicable 1t is believed that
shell can be manufactured capable of
discharging explosives at a distance Of
at least five miles
