Straws from the inaugural.

The salient utterances of Presi-
dent Mckinley can be collated as
follows
When we assembled here on the
fourth Of March, 1897. there was
great anxiety with regard to our
currency and credit. n 4 Now
have the satisfaction to announce
that the Congress just closed has
reduced taxation $41, 100000.
The national verdict of 1896 has
for the most part been executed
Whatever remains unfultlled is a
continuing obligation resting with
undiminished force UPON lhc Execu-
tive and the Congress.
We should not permit our great
prosperity to lead us to reckless ven
lures in business or proiligacy in
public expenditures.
Honesty, capacity and industry
are nowhere more indispensable than
in public employment.
We are now at peace with the
world, and it is my fervent prayer if
differences arise they may
be settled by peaceful arbitra
The national purpose is indicated
through national election. 1t is

tanning the public will.
Scctionalism has disappeared
Division on public questions can M
longer be traced by the war maps Q

There are some national question:
in the solution of which patriotism
should exclude partisanship.

assaulted and outraged the wife of
Il. M. Attaway at her home mile
and half south of Blanchard, in
this parish. Mrs. Attaway was

baby in arms. Her husband was
at work few hundred. yards away,
but the high wind prevented the
woman's screams being heard by
him. The negro came into the
house, snatchod the infant from the
mothers arms, chokcd her into in
scnsibility and accomplished his pur-
pose, after which he escaped. No
trace OF him has yet been found.

Van Brunt, who was at home with
his sons when the burglars came.
And when Mosher and Douglas
went into the Judges house, they
set off alarm which refused the
William II. household. And the
members thereof siezed their
dcnbled- -barrelled shot guns, and
slipped over to the Judges domicile
just as they took their station,
Mosher and Douglas emerged from
the cellar. Whereupon the watch
ers left fly with their weapons.
AIosher fell dead. And Douglas
reeled, Strengthened up, and pointing
to Mosher, said:
"That man could have told@ you
about Charlie Ross"
Then Douglas sank to the ground
dead.
Shortly after these men were
slain, Gill Mosher again came to the
Pinkcrton Office and told them that
Charlie Ross was dead. His brother
had met him shortly after the lad
passed away, and told him and the
rest of the Mosher family the par
tculars. The child, suffering from
grief and rough usage, aud the con
tinemcnt of the filthy little cabin,
and the horrible food with which he
was supplied, succumbed to a
stomach complaint, and the body
was thrown into the river. Later
its body was recovered and buried.
The news that the chase had
ended was not long in spreading
over the largest cities of the country.
But it was years before the smaller
cities learned it. And some do not
know it yet. From start to finish it
occupied just about a year.-Joe

MEETS MANY OLD FRIENDS.
Ex'Sheriff W. W. Moss Writes About an
interesting Trip.

Walhalla, March 9.-On the morn
ing of February 10th left tho beau
tiful town of Walhalla for q little
recreation, visiting Atlanta, Chatta-
nooga, Lookout Mountain, Chicka.
mauga Park and other places of
interest.
AT tr12.30 p, MI boarded the train
at Seneca for Atlanta, and arrived
there at 3.45 p. M. Central time.)
| went to the famous Ballard House,
and found Robert Erwin, our friend
and former townsman, who gave me
hearty welcome. "Bob," you know,
has great way of making fellow
feel at home. After spending the
night, the next morning 1 went out
in the city in search of friends and
kinsfolk.
| first found our friend and former
fellow citizen, the genial G. Walker
Pratt, and family. They were all
well and doing well. The children
ran in to see me, and the minutes had
swift wings while l was sharing their
hospitalities.
next went in search of the office
of DIR. G. b. Adair, whose wife's
maiden name was Moss. Her mothers
maiden name was Nancy Hill, and
she was first cousin of w. II. Jaynes,
father of r. II. Jaynes, attorney and
editor. She is very brilliant, intel
ligent woman, and favors the Hills
more than the Moses. She said she
remembers seeing "l3ob" when he
was quite child, and had seen few
copies of The Courier.
| then visited other relatives
James E. and Virgil Cox, Mrs. Susan
Towers, Mrs. Mary White and Mrs.
Sallie Humphreys, sons and daugh-
ters of the late Jacob r.. and Emiline
Cox. Mrs Cox was sister of Mrs.
ID. A. Ledbetter and the late Heze-
kiah Vandiver. Jacob r. Cox was
reared in Oconee county, near Bethel
church. He was one Of the founders
of Fair Play, and built the house
now owned by j. w. Shclor, ESQ.
In 1917 he moved to Whitfield
county, Georgia, and afterward to
Resaca, Ga, where he died at the
ripe old age of SO years. Hc was
good man. After the division of
Pendleton District into Anderson
and Pickcns Districts, he became a
candidate for Clerk in Pickcns against
w. l.. Keith and lost by only Sd
votes.
From Atlanta l went to Rcsaca,
Ga. There saw the graves of these
good old people. l also found here
two daughters of Mr.. Cox-Mrs.
John Hill and Mrs. Walter Davis.

q T PHILLIPSBURG live three
S$ vigorous old men who are now
enjoying happy and vigorous old age
after life of unusually stirring adj
ventures. They are Samuel B. Weeks
and S. L. Eells, retired farmers, and
Rev. Fl. p. Mann, retired clergyman.
They helped make history in the Mex
lean war 55 years ago and are number
ed among its small band of survivors,
now "just handful of men," Only
10000 volunteers were enlisted for the
war. Fifteen years later all three
were fighting for the union in the
Civil war. Mr.. Weeks was II when
he marched to the City of Mexico, Mr..
EellS participated at Buena Vista and
DOnelson. Rev. Mani comes of a
family of fighters. His grandfather
under General Wayne was present at
the surrender of CORVALLIS at Yorl-
town, and his father fought in the
war of 1872. He had just turned 16
when he enlisted in 1847 in Company
L, Second Ohio infantry and marched
into the City of Mexico from Vera
Cruz When the Rebellion broke out
he was in Nebraska and there being
only two regiments from that state
had to go to Missouri to enlist, Serv-
ing three years or during the war in
the Fifth Missouri cavalry, being
mustered out as duty sergeant of the
regiment.
Mr.. Weeks was born II years ago in
Gloucester county, N. j., and enlisted
for the Mexican war at Baltimore,
when II, in Company G of the Volti-
geurs. He was in the famous march
to the Mexican capital and served to
the end of the war. In 1868 he en-
listed in the Ninth regiment of the
Indiana cavalry and stayed in the
army till the fighting was done, being
mustered out at indianapolis as SER
geant major. He participated in the
battle of Nashville and the engage
mentS in pursuit of Hoods army.

FAN Seeding of Alfalfa.

In some sections this summer tame
grass pastures were eaten to the roots
and then the cattle were turned on
the meadows and these were grazed as
closelyas pastures. Where this is the
case, it is probable that with usual
conditions during the coming fall and
winter large part of these pastures
and meadows will next spring be eth
er dead or so badly killed that they
will have to be plowed up. This
means a severe shortage next year in
hay, and farmers should prepare to
meet this shortage now. It can be
met by sowing alfalfa between August
10 and September 15. Alfalfa Sowed
at this time under favorable con-
dltions will furnish a good cutting OF
hay next summer.
The ground for alfalfa should be
settled before seeding and only the
surface made loose. Alfalfa will
usually fail if seeded in the fall on
freshly plowed ground. Well Guilt
waited corn fields. with the stalks cut
and drawn of. give ideal conditions,
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1901-08-10


Such fields should not be plowed but
narrowed only before seeding. Wheat,
oats, flax and millet stubble ground
plowed shallow, narrowed thoroughly
and allowed to settle before seeding,
furnish good conditions for alfalfa If
such ground is mellow, blowing may
not be necessary as the land will only
need to be disced and cross-disced.
The best time to SOW is in the last
of August. It is safe to SOW as late as
September 10 if conditions are good.
The ground must be well settled, with
a loose mulch on top and well Satur-
ated with moisture SO as to bring up
the seed quickly and force the fall
growth. If either of these conditions
are lacking it will not pay to SOW.
The best way to SOW is with a press
drill, using 20 pounds of seed to the
acre. Mix the seed with equal parts,
by measure Of course, corn-chop or
brand. Drill half the seed one way
and croSs-drill the other half. If neceS-
sary to SOW broadcast, use % to 30
pounds seed per acre, cover with a
harrow and roll unless there is danger

The sclaiev court Of Inoulrv.

TheTenewal of the discussion has
led to a revival of the bitterness so
manifest just after the battle of Santi-
ago, although Sehley, now as then.
preserves the same calm demeanor
that characterized his conduct then
as it had during the time when the
shots and shells of of Spanish warshipS
were raining against the sides and up
on the deck of the Brooklyn. 1t is
manifest, now as then, that the
energies Of the men who are directly
connected with the naval Office will be
directed to the conviction Of Schley,
whiIei it is quite as manifest that great
popular interest and confidence cent
erS in Schley, and that this gallant
officer, who has been in command of
our ships in foreign waters under cir
cumstanceS of extreme delicacy, yet
never failed to honor his country and
exhibit extraordinary courage, tact
and initiative, and who still retains
| the wholesome democracy of an Amer
lean citizen. is to have the support OF
the people of this country until he has
been proven the inSubordinate and
incompetent which his enemies
charge him with being.
Some word of Rear Admiral Schley's
services may not be out OF place here.
The rear admiral entered the navy in
1860 and was under Farragut for
time. In 1865 he subdued 400 riotouS
Cinnamon on the Chincha Islands; he
thraShed the Koreans in 1871 and in
1876 trounced the pirates of the west
African coast. In 1SS4he was the first
officer of the navy to volunteer to go
to the rescue of Lieut.. A. w. Greedy
in the arctic regions. The expedition
was successful as the public gratefully
remembers. 1t is an interesting fact
that Capt. Lemley who will be judge
advocate general of the court of in
CURRY, was one of the officers of the
Bear, the ship in which Schley
went to the arctic regions in search of
the lost Greedy and his party. When
ChilianS killed Schley'S sailors he land
ed marines at Valparaiso and secured
| Justice for his men. He was a COM
modore when the SpaniSh-American
war broke out and led the fight IN
