OF course the number of bundles per
acre will depend on how heavy the
grain is; but on the basis OF 400 bum
dies per acre the cost per acre would
be: Pure Manila, $50 feet per pound,
1877 cents per acre; Manila, 600 feet
per pound, 20 cents per acre, Sisal
Standard, 500 feet per pound, 2l.3
cents per acre.
Owing to its superior quality many
consumers think the brand known as
Four Leaf Red Glover is the product OF
some Eastern manufacturer, whereas it
is made in Portland Oregon, as can be
seen from the tag on each ball. From
Eastern farm journals it can be readily
seen that the large Eastern manufac-
turers are responsible for the high price
of fibre and maintaining the value OF
Sisal and Standard Irvine. They con-
troll the Slsal fibre situation in Yucca
tan, where all the fibre for the worlds
consumption is raised, and holding
the market up to price that prevents
the smaller mills from getting fibre at
low enough price to compete with them.
If farmers will only remember that $50
feet Manila is the cheapest in the end
and use this quality of Irvine, they will
develop our trade with the Philippines,
which means an increase of population
on the Pacific coast and broadening the
market for farm products.

"The case for the prosecution" said
Sir Edward, will be that on arriving

and actively fought against General
Buffers operations.
Lynch was in Pretoria January Is

.BOMBARDMENT OF MANNING
IT LASTED FOR THREE HOURS
In That Time Over 400 of the Inhabi-
tants Were Either Killed or
Wounded-Rebels Used Machine
Guns-Then Retreated-The Attack
Was for Revenge.

Victoria, B. c., June 17-Advices
received by the steamer Athenian
which has arrived from Hong Kong,
give details of the bombardment of
Manning by the rebel hordes. The
correspondent the Hong Kong Tel
egraph thus describes it:
About 9 in the morning the inhab-
itants of Manning we're surprised that
the city gates we're besieged by very
large crowd, who demanded admit
lance. The project sent an instant
refusal and gave immediate instruc-
lions. that all the gates of the city were
to be closed. This was Immediately
done and the crowd, which had pre-
viously assembled at the main en-
trance to the city, angrily retraced its
steps and made for the direction of
the rebel camps, about three miles
distant A few days later another
band made its appearance and under
a flag of truce demanded to see the
project to arrange affairs regarding
the procuring of provisions. Instead OF
reporting the matter to the project
the military officer in charge of the
troops at once gave orders for his
men to shoot the rebels. This was
accordingly done, and needless to say
very few escaped being either wound
ed or killed. The remainder at once
FASTENED back to their camps, and the
very same night the city was bonn
| barded.
The rebels had no less than 20 odd
pieces of ordnance raining round shot
shells and other combustible matter
into the city. A breach was made
in one of the walls and a trader, who
witnessed the pombardment and
knowing that that particular portion
of the wall would not stand the in
cessant pounding, posted about forty
men with burning oil on the terraces
of the walls and when the rebels at
tempted to rush the place they were
met with discharge of burning oil
The brigands displayed the utmost
bravery; some, in fact, approached tt
within 20 yards of the city walls.
During the bombardment another
peril presented itself to tn eauthori
ties. The rebels rained a thick shower
of flaming arrows, tipped with the
most inflammable material, into the
city, and these, combined with "stinl
| potts." soon caused a few fires. The
confiagrations, however, were put out
hut not until damage to the extent Of
over $4,000 had been done.
The bombardment lasted over three
hours and in that time over 800 to 40(
of the inhabitants were either killed
or wounded.
The rebels actually used field ant
machine guns, throwing not only rount
shot, but shells with bursting charges
After the siege the rebels, without as
pertaining what damage they had done
retreated to their mountain Businesses
carrying with them the bodies of theil
slain and wounded, thus making i
impossible to judge what loss the!
had sustained. 1t is very evident tina
the motive for the attack was revenge

distance made possible. Often
their utterances were unintelligi-
BILE to each other, owing to the
distance, and the little woman
wept continually as she attempted
to exchange the final words with
the criminal whose form was only
dimly outlined behind the closely
latticed bars of the Jail.
Mrs. Mathis is not unprepos-
sessing in appearance. On the
contrary, she has many of the
elements of beauty, although not
nodded in fashions form or con-
versant with the ever changing
styles and apparel of the feminine
gender. But her brown eyes are
lustrous and full of expression,
her complexion is clear and
beautiful, and even, white teeth
show clearly behind perfectly
formed lips of redness.
With the advantages of culture
and fashion she could have been
a reigning beauty.
Thus will woman cling to an
unworthy man when all others
have forsaken him. Her love
will shine forth as clear as the
monday sun when the wretch
stands in the shadow of the gall

still sue for his favor.

BE CAREFUL, GENTLEMEN.

In the purchase of a state farm
on which to employ the convicts,
we cannot be to careful of the
states interests.
Sometimes there is a big rake
off in these deals, and the state
might run up against a fixed
proposition.
1t is easy enough for the man
who engineers the scheme to get
his commission in a quiet way
and no one outside the deal
would be any the wiser.
The Legislature two years ago
had before it several propositions
and it was generally understood
that the promoters in some in
stances were willing to surrender
a considerable amount of their
profits for assistance to put the
job through. No doubt some Of
these schemes will be revived at
the next session Of the general
assembly if they do not come up
under a different guise before
that time. 1t will be we'll there
fore for those who must share the
responsibility to be en- their
guard. When the state buys a
farm for her convicts she should
get something for her money.
There should be no jobs allowed.

T0NEY ON AMENDMENT NO. Z.

Pine Bluff, Sept. 26.-Jefferson
county's representative, Hardin
Kimbrough Toney, who has been
mentioned for speaker of the next
house, says of the passage of
amendment No. 7:
81 voted against amendment
No. 7 in the last assembly, and
also in the recent election, for |
doubt five can improve on the
present law. Personally, would
favor a 1larger salary than the
members now receive, but |
doubt if this sentiment is in ac-
cord with that OF a majority of
the state. The present salary
paid Legislators amounts to about
$500, ard l think it will finally
be left about like it is at the pres
ent time When will you pay
them? at the end of the session.
Those who now claim that a hun
dred days is too long will they
say that;it is too short. Another
thing, ] Hear that extra sessions
will be 1ery frequent. If mem
bers are paid at the end of the
session and an extra one should
be called, what is there to keep q
member from resigning? If he
should do so, no one would ac-
cept his place, for the salary
would have been drawn by his
predecessor; then, say you pay
them by the month; if so, a men,
Der will draw about five or six
months pay after his election be.
fore any service is performed,
and there is nothing to keep him
from resigning after he has drawn
part of his salary, and without
performing any service to the
state | do not believe the law
will have any tendency to shorten
the length of the sessions of our
legislature. Arkansas has out
growlg y.day sessions; it takes
longer than this to investigate
state institutions and make pro-
vision for their support and
maintenance. Another thing is
that it takes fully thirty days af-
ter convening for members to be-
come acquainted with parliament
ary proceedings and to get prop
erly at work."
