The one thing that is uppermost in in
terest just now with members of the
Modern Woodmen is the adoption or
non adoption of the proposed scheme of
REIMBURSEMENT of rates. The charge is
not lnfrequently made that the head
officers are especially Interested in the
adoption Of the proposed system. The
charge of favoring any particular plan,
however, the head officers emphatically
deny citing in their own defense the res
olution on rate readjustment adopted by
the head camp of last year under which
the plan now before the membership
has been prepared and submitted. In
choosing delegates to the county camps
next April the members are expected to
give instructions for or against the new
rates, and this will also be done when
the delegates are selected for the state
camps, and the head camp which will be
held in June, 1908. Even if adopted the
plan cannot go into effect before Jan. l.
1904 There is one thing certain and
that is that the head camp meeting will
be the most exciting since lS9O-Harvard

Important Patent Decision.

The Fuller & johnson Mfg. Co. has is
sued circulars calling attention to the
recent decision concerning the infringe
ment of the McSherry transplanter upon
patents controlled by the Madison con-
Germ. They say:
When it is considered that we were
the first to manufacture a successful
Transplanter. and the first to build a
transplanter using the shoes or "com-
pressor plates" in combination with the
furrow opener, and the first to use de-
vice whereby the weight of person or
persons riding npou the transplanter was
carried on the furrow opener and shoes,
making what is known in the trade as
floating Shoes" and that our trans
planter marked a revolution in the to-
bacco growing industry, increasing very
materially the value of the crop, and
proved to be great saving of labor and
expense to the grower, and that our ma
chimes were manufactured under Letters
Patent of the United States, it will be
readily understood that we are entitled
to protection against infringers who
pirate our inventions and adopt the es-
sential and important features of our
patents.
The meaning of this decision is that
all shoe or so-called compressor plate
machines are infringements of our pat
ents, as we'll as all devices for carrying
the weight of persons riding on.the ma
chimes directly on the beam to which the
shoes and furrow opener are attached
and that every person making, selling OF
using transplanter embodying these
features is an infringer.
1t is but right and proper that we
should give notice to the public at this
time that we shall protect our rights Wig
orously, and pursue every infringer, ano
collect damages; and, if necessary, an in
junction will be obtained to prohibit the
manufacture, sale or use, as the case
may be, of an infringing transplanter.

THE county convention at GAINESVILLE
Monday for the selection of delegates to
the congressional convention proved one
of the most interesting political events
that has taken place in some years. The
stalwarts were in the saddle and domi-
mated the proceedings by three to one
vote. After the caucus contests had
been made on state issues it could hardly
be expected the majority would do less
than take advantage of their right to
name the delegates Of the stalwart faith
This they did under a vigorous protest
of the halfbreeds.
