HAY WILL BE VALUABLE.
The Western Crop Is a Failure
This Year.

Southwest Georgia farmers will do
we'll to save all'the hay they possibly
can this season, as the indications are
that there will be ready demand for it
at good prices.
Norman ]. Colman, former secretary
of agriculture of Missouri who has
been receiving for the last week full
reports of the hay crop from all the
agricultural sections of Missouri and
Kansas, asserts that this is the most
disastrous time that has visited the
country for generations.
He has advised the various farmers
to begin sowing at once second grass
crop, which, it is recognized, will be
dependent on the drenchings OF long
rain. The advice carr les with it the
significance OF his statement that the
first grass crop has been totally elimi-
mated.
Farmers of Missouri are feeding
wheat to their stock in some of the
most prosperous sections of the state.
They say they have found this cheaper
than resorting to the supply of oats in
the present extremity.

$4,000 FOR NE6RESS

Serena Murphy of Atlanta, Sc years
of age who was recently adjudged an
imbecile, has now due her 81, u.s. IS
from the United States, and the money
will be paid her when proper receipts
are,sent forward for the amount. The
claim of the old woman has been
grated by the authorities after long
delay. Serena Murphy when the war
of secession came on was a married
woman. Her husband enlisted in the
union army and fought in regiment
of negro troops for two years, when he
was killed. 1t was long time before
she learned that she was entitled to
a pension and then, owing to her ig-
norance, it was very difficult for her to
comply with the regulations and Sc
cure the proper evidence. The PEN

SCARED BY A SHELL.
The Discharge of a Maxim Gun
Sent a One Pound Shell Into
City Hall at Newport, R. |.

A Newport, r. l., special says that
the screeching of a shellUhat proved to
come from the United States steam
ship Eearsarge, and its explosion into
fragments that broke a small piece of
stone out Of the new city hall building
on Broadway and cut a limb from a
tree near by, caused great consterna-
ton among Newport citizens shortly
after O'Clock this evening. Half an
hour later two officers came ashore
from the kearsarge. traced the shell
to the city hall and obtained informa-
ton as to its passage over the city.
They examined some of the pieces and
pronounced the she'll a one-pounder
from the Kearsarse, after which they
returned without making any expla-
nation.
From the flagship it was learned that
the crew was called to quarters at .
o'clock. The gun crew took their
position, pointing the guns, and went
through the work OF firing. a Nord-
enfelt- Maxim automatic gun in the
fighting top went off when the crank
was turned. Immediately all on board
we're alive, and the officers were max
ing hurried inquiries. The crew in
the top declared that shot hal been
fired, but that it had struck in the
water just short of the wharves. The
officers were thereupon dispatched to
the shore, in order to assure Rear Ad-
miral Higginson that such was the
fact.
On the wharf scared party OF
fishermen we're found, who declared
that something had passed over their
heads screaming loudly. How the
shot happened to be fred has not been
explained. The matter will be thor
oughly investigated.

TO MEET EVERY FOUR YEARS.
Alabama Rids Herself of the Annual Leg
isIature Nuisance.

The new constitution of Alabama
will provide for sessions of the legis-
lature quadrenniallY, following the
lead taken by the Constitutional Con-
vention of Mississippi some eleven
years ago. Mississippi has found the
four-year plan to work we'll, and
would probably not go back again to
annual sessions. At the beginning,
all OF the states had annual sessions of
the legislature, but the majority of
them have now adopted biennial ses-
sions. Georgia is one of the minority
clinging to annual sessions. AS a
politician said not long ago, ''the Geor-
gia politicians like to meet at the cap
ital once year and talk politics, =
which seems to be about the only ex-
cuse remaining for the costly annual
Legislative session.

THE KINGS FOOL TALK.

been caused by the presentation to
King Edward by some American la
dies of the hospital ship Maine com
mittee medal commemorative of the
Names work, with the request that
the King transmit the medal to Queen
Alexandra.
1t seems the idea was opposed by a
number of influential members of the
committee on the ground that the
king did not want the medal but the
others carried the day.
The kings reply to the delegation
which made the presentation is caus-
ing some comment, as he thanked the
American committee" for their "loy-
al, dutiful sentiments as he did the
Kansas legislature in answering their
telegram of coincidence on the .queen's

LADY BUG TRUST
ABUSES THE FARMERS.
THEY ARE UP IN ARMS OVER THE LAT
EST DEPRFDATI0NS OF OCTOPUS.
In Berkshire County, N. Y, the Insects
Are Being Accumulated for Expert on
a Comprehensive Scale.

A dispatch says the farmers up West
Stockbridge way are much exercised
about a threatened corner in lady
bugs. 1t seems that Professor Louns-
bury of Cape Colony, South Africa, has
put in a dragnet order for all the lady
bugs that can be caught, on the plea
that they are wanted in South sAfrica
to eat up certain other very unlady-
like bugs which are deyouring the
crops. Professor Lounsbury's lady bug
order came in some way, presumably
through the agricultural department.,
to F. c. Tobey of Ossining, New York,
and who is understood to be equipped
it'll large amount of bug lore.
Mr.. Tobey has summer residence
in West Stockbridge and he has under
taken the accumulation of lady bugs
for export on comprehensive scale.
He wants 100 small boys to enlist as
hunters to chase the lady bug to her
lair The bugs swarm in great num-
bers in Berkshire county and the boys
are scooping them in in great num-
bers.
The consequence is that the West
Stockbridge farmers are aroused. They
all read she Springfield Republican,
ami they think in this strange South
African descent upon their lady bug
crop that they see the trail OF the inn
perialistic serpent. Furthermore there
is distinct SAVIOR OF the octopus in the
methods of this antipodean lady bug
trust. Besides all that, they argue that
if lady bugs are good to protect South
African crops they likewise are good
to protect Berkshire crops. They are
entering vigorous protests to the furth-
er gathering in of the lady bug crop,
and are talking of making the Judy
bug political issue, provided the OPP
creations of the bug trust are not cur
tailed.

CORN CROP RUINED.
Re ports Show That Damage Has
Not Been Exaggerated.

The New York Journal of Commerce,
which telegraphed to a large number
of bank presidents in Iowa, Nebraska,
Missouri and Kansas, prints a special
report which says
"There is reason Tor believing that
the early reports of damage to the corn
crop by the drought have not been ex-
aggerated. Ga the contrary, it is quite
evident that the situation is very much
worse than at first reported and that
now much OF the the injury is beyond
repair.
"The region of worst damage lies
within an irregular circle of about 600
miles in diameter with st. Joseph.
Mo-, as an approximate center.
SIN Kansas many answers reported
Is per cent. damage to corn; in Mis-
souri, the majority reports are between
80 and IS per cent damage: in Nebras-
ka the reports are generally between
80 and so per cent. while the majority
is between % and 80 per cent.
SIT would seem from the returns
given that loss of 80 per cent. in this
district would be an exceedingly mod
crate estimate. This would indicate a
loss of at least 3l2,O00,O00 bushels in
the region of the greatest drought and
probably considerably more. 1t should
be borne in mind that these figures
and reports refer only TO the small dis
trict of nreatest damage.N
