THAT EXTRA CONGRESSMAN.
Mr.. Fleming Shows the LittIeielG
story TO He without Foundation.


story to He without Foundation.
Augusta, Nov. 2S.-In answer to the
Littlefield reapportionment story.
Congressman Fleming says:
''As for myself. l wish to say that
| never heard of any such offer from
Mr.. Littlefield, or any one else until
within the last few days. Mr., Little
field did not introduce any apportion
ment bill at all, nor did anybody else
introduce one fixing the number of
representatives at 1856 as alleged. The
fight in the House came on between
the Hopkins bill as reported by tne
committee and the substitute offered
by Mr.. Burleigh of Maine. The Hop
kins bill proposed no change in the
membership of the House, but under
this non-partsan measure Maine
would have. lost a congressman. Bur-
leigh offered sectional and partisan
bill, increasing the House membership
to 1856. THIS bill passed, but it gave
Georgia no extra congressman. though
$50, according to the Littlefald story.
would give Georgia one more. Out of
the increase of twenty-nine members
the Democrats got only nine very
poor trade on the part or thoSe I'1n-
ocrats who voted for the Burieigh sub
stitute."
He says of course, Littlefeld never
offered Georgia a congressman for her
vote, but if he had. he could not have
carried out his part of the alleged
proposed trade on the basis of an in
crease of one above $50, for the rea-
son that the official apportionment Ia
bles prepared by the census depart
ment show that ON basis of 3S7 there
were 26 states ahead of Georgia in
having a larger fractional number in
excess of the common ratio, and hence
fairly entitled to precedence. He in
Inmates that this story sent out from
Atlanta in the hope of placing some
Georgia congressman in an untenable
position was an attempt to infuse new
life into that moribund scheme to
gerrymander some of the congression-
al districts.

SAYS that meeting of the switchmen,
a general strike order was ISSUED for
that city. This will call out ten crews

the strike.

citing meeting tonight in McKees-

Buffalo, Nov. 2S.-Dr. c. H. link, in
charge of the United States bureau of
animal industry in the stock yards in
East Buffalo, discovered to-day what
he believes an outbreak of smallpox
among a consignment of hogs. The
animals were received from ST. Louis
last week and they passed the first
inspection. After they had been slaugh-
tered DR.. link in making a microscop-
ical examination of the viscera, dis
covered what he believed to be evil
dence OF smallpox.
The slaughter houses are in the Pol
ish district. where the health officers
are at present engaged in fighting
smallpox. The government bureau Of
ficials are under instruction to work in
conjunction with the local health
authorities in suppressing the out
break here, and this afternoon DR..
link brought specimens of the dis
and submitted them to DR.. Wende.
After examination Dr. Wende unhes-
itatingly confirmed the diagnosis of
DIR. link.
IF the disease develops in animals in
the same way as il does in human be-
ings. l should unhesitatingly call it
smallpox" said DR.. Wende. These
tissues bear all the characteristic
marks of the disease. They are evil
IDENTIFY of a contagious nature. The
pittings and destruction of tissues are
apparent as well as the characteristic
smallpox postules."

TAKE A RECORD,
See How Many Friends Are Hurt by
Coffee.

. Coffee.
1t would be Just as reasonable for a
temperance advocate to drink a little
diluted whiskey as to drink coffee, for
one is as truly an intoxicant as the
other. and persistence in the use of cof-
fee brings on variety of chronic dis
eases, notorious among which are
dyspepsia, heart palpitation (and ulti-
matey heart failure), frequently con-
stipation, kidney diseases, many cases
of weak eyes and trembling condition
of the nerves.
This is only small per cent of the
great variety of diseases which come
from an unbalanced nervous system,
caused by the persistent daily use Of
the drug cafaine, which Is the active
principle Of coffee. Another bit of prma
facle evidence about coffee is that the
victims to the habit find great difficulty
in giving Il up.

Elect Infant Clause to Be Modi-
fed.
Washington, Nov. 3S.-The prelim-
mary work of revising the creed of
the Presbyterian Church so as to make
1t more popularity understood was in
augurated here to-day at a meeting
OF section of the committee of TWEEN
ty appointed at the last Presbyterian
assembly to accomplish this result.
The section that met to-day began the
preparation of a new statement of the
doctrine of the church. 1t spent sew
eral hours in discussion, but no action
was taken on any phase of the subject.
form of statement to replace the one
now in use was submitted, and other
FORMS VIII likely be submitted. The
OBJECT IS to secure a formal expression
or doctrine that will be more definite
and convey to the lay mind a clearer
understanding of the subject than the
present declaration. No vital changes
We're contemplated in to-day's discus
sion, but rather a different mode of
expression was aimed at.
Two other sections of the committee
VIII meet eontemporaneously with the
full body and frame propositions for
action by that body One of these will
draft new chapters on the Holy Spirit
and on the love of God, and the other
viii make slight revision of the con-
fession of faith with reference to the
elect infant declarations. 1t is felt that
the present statement on this point inn
plies that any infant dying in infancy
is lost" from the standpoint of the
religious future state, and the creed to
be adopted will make it clear that the
Presbyterian Church does not hold the
belief that those who die in infancy
are lost"

HURRY AND HAY MAKING.

There is time in the curing of every
swath of hay when enough of the water
has been absorbed by the suns rays,
and every hour added damages the quail
ity of the product on the upper side of
the swath before the lower side is cured
sufficiently to put in barn or stack.
When this time comes, start the side-de-
livery rake, which will throw the swaths
each four and one-half feet in width into
narrow and puffy windrow, which will
soon cure to the right stage to start the
loader. Here is another important stage
ir hay making. 1t must not be too green,
Or it will heat in the NOW; it must not
he too dry, or the leaves of clover and
even of timothy will shatter off. With
an expert in the field, who shall direct
the speed of moving machine and the
time of rake and the loader, quality
of hay unexcelled may be made, and
with rapidity undreamed of by our
fathers who used the scythe, hand rake
and the hand fork.
1t is presumed you have nay carrier
in the barn and it and the ropes are in
complete repair with the NOV ready for
the first load of new hay. Should there
be a surplus beyond the filling of the
barn or hay shed. you should nave in
store 100 feet of one-half inch wire
cable, cable carrier and four light tele-
phone poles twenty-four feet long ready
to run up for use in stacking this sur
plus, or the entire crop, If tkere is no
barn. If clover goes into che stacks you
will no doubt top out with timothy,
Or what is better when it can be secured,
slough grass. AS to extra help, it bet
ter be secured at once; Il not of the
kind desired, as good day taborers, there
is just now being released from duty a
lot of high school boys that would be
the better of the tan and nerve they will,
cultivate in vacation on the farm. They
will need some training in rhc vegetable
or fruit-garden with hoe to fit them
for making hay, or some practice in
:orn blowing to make them good team
sters for the mower or hay rake, but
| they will beat the old men loading hay
on a wagon constantly in motion.
BE sure to put your strong, slow teer,s
on the wagon that hauls the loads, tor
speed in this work depends upon the
ability of the leaders keeping constantly
at it, and for this reason no more swat.,s
should be put into a windrow than can
be handled easily with a tenn in a slow
walk. Also put safe team or the hay
rake, for side-delivery is a bad thing
