Tobacco to Burn.

A revivalist named A. Wagge has been
preaching in Roanoke, Va, and advising the
farmers to burn their tobacco crop in order to
avoid burning themselves in the next world.
Matthew Scarce, a well known young farmer,
emptied eight barns which were filed with
fine tobacco, piled it in one immense heap,
invited his neighbors in and then set fire to
the whole crop. 1t was valued at $4,000.
The other farmers, however, are selling their
tobacco, preferring that some one else should
burn it after they get the mon ey for it.

$1,000 New Pensions a Year.
From the New YORK World.


In his annual report, just published, Com
missioner of Pensions Evans draws attention
to some striking features of the nations pen
sion account for the current year.
The rolls carried 997, 1876 names on July ]
last. an increase of 1906 in the year that end
ed on that date. Our pensioners, therefore,
nearly 81 years after the close of the great
civil conflict, are still growing host. This,
too. in spite of the fact that over 43, 900 names
a year are being dropped by death and for
other causes.
As only 1904 pensions have been granted
on account of our late war with Spain, it is
evident that some $4,000 new claims year
are still being allowed on account OF the war
between the States that ended early in 1865.
Commissioner Evans believes that large
portion of these new claims are dishonesty
made by pension agents, who pocket fat fees
for their services, and he asks Congress to
revise the laws in several important respects,
and especially to revise the existing loose con
ditions upon which attorneys practice before
the Bureau.
But with the ''soldier vote on one side
and tempting surplus on the other, it IS un
likely that anything will be done. Commits
sioner Evans has been fortunate to save his
head, in view of his recommendations.

To Prevent Potatoes Rotting.

With reference to the potato rotting, Joel
Tresser. of near Hublersburg, Pa, says that
when there is trouble of potatoes rotting they
should be lime cured. His method of doing
this is when the pototoes are put in the cellar
to take slaked lime and scatter it over the po-
tatoes until they are white with thin coating
of the lime. The action of the lime has the
effect of absorbing the moisture of the tuber
and stops the heating or fermenting that so
often causes the rot. In many cases where
notatoes had small spots on the lime stopped
The process Of the decay. This is a remedy
easily applied and one that will cost very lit
tie. 1t will not injure the potato, in fact he
claims that it improves the taste.

The Baby Act.


The charge of fraud against the Democrats
by Senator McComas and Chairman Colds
borough is simply absurd Both know that
Republican workers throughout the State
worked with mighty effort to win, were well
supplied with money, and did everything,
honorable and dishonorabIe, they knew how,
and their allegations of fraud is simply the
baby act
The Democrats were successful because
they deserved success Not only have State
affairs, particularly the financial affairs, been
conducted with fidelity and ability, but the
character of the Democratic candidates all
over the State were such as to commend them
to voters above the Republicans.
The talk Of raising sum of thirty or forty
thousand dollars to prosecute the perpetra-
tors of the alleged frauds is as silly and fool
ish as the charges of fraud.
The Republicans were defeated and the
leaders are simply whining.
