Isn't it odd that there is no law
to which miners can appeal for
Justice, but thousands of statutes
that the capitalists can use?
That shows that the capitalists
have been in politics, while the
workers have simply been voting
what the capitalists put up for
them. There should be laws to
protect the poor. The rich and
powerful are able to protect
themselves. AS it is, the laws
are made to hold the poor while
the rich pound the stufing out OF
them. And the working people
have voteS!-Ex.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS,

Water in which mignonette has been
placed should be changed often, since
1t quickly becomes foul.
The best use to make of old bones
Is to break them up and bury them
near &c roots Of fruit trees and grape
vines.
BY sowing nitrate of soda in small
quantities In showcry weather under
trees most beautiful verdure will be
obtained.
1t Is not good plan to fill an old
orchard with young trees. The soil
Is too much exhausted by the growth
of the former occupants.
Geraniums bloom most satisfactorily
when grown in comparatively small
pots and soil which is termed rich, but
not rank with excessive manure.

thoroughly before planting or sowing.
The Importance Of this work cannot be

SONS.
Geraniums that have been used for
summer boomers will not flower again
until the late spring months. Plants
for winter blooming should be grown
especially for this purpose.

Tracy Kills Himself.

Spokane, Wash, August 6.-Harry
Tracey, the notorious outlaw, who,
with David Merrill, escaped from the
Oregon penitentiary, at Salem, on
June 9, after killing three prison
guards, killed himself early this
morning, after being wounded by the
rife of one of the posse in pursuit.
Tracey was surrounded in wheat
field, near Fellowes, a station on the
Washington Central Railroad, about
fifty miles west of Spokane, last
night. Word was sent back to
Davenport, the county seat, and a
large number Of armed men hurried
to the scene.
The posse, under Sheriff Gardner,
opened fire on the outlaw and one
bullet pierced his right leg between
the knee and thigh. About twenty
minutes after being wounded he shet
himself with one of his revolvers and
his body was found this morning
after daybreak. The revolver with
which he killed himself was grasped
tightly in his righ hand. After
battling the officers of two States,
after a wonderful fight of nearly four
hundred miles across Oregon and
Washington, Tracey was hunted down
by three citizens of the little farming
town of Creston and a lone deputy
sheriff. Sheriff Gardner and posse
arrived in time to guard the wheat
field through the night, but the work
had already been done.

to his letter of inquiry, makes the
following statement which exl lsins
itself:
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D G. Aug. 4, 1902.
Hon. A F. Lever,
Lexington, S. G.
Dear Mr.. Lever:
Your kind note Of. July 30th re-
ceived, stating that your travels over
your district you find that the seeds
distributed by the department are
fully appreciated, but that the work
would be much more satisfactory if
such things as spinach, parsnipe, car
,ots, ETC., were eliminated, and i'm
proved beans, turnips, cabbage, etc,
substituted. I have no doubt that
this is the case, and we have recog-
nized this difficulty for long time.
Owing to the great magnitude OF the
work, hawever, that is put on the
Department, which involves the han
ding Of nearly fifty million packets
of seed, it has been found exceeding
II difficult, under the old system, to
make any great distinctions in the
kinds that are sent into the different
districts. I hope to improve this
matter, however, in time, but the
system that has grown up here is Of
such nature that it will take time
to change it. You are probably
not aware that this work was only
turued over to US last year, and we
are doing everything in our power to
improve it as rapidly as we can. You
will see from the pamphlet inclosed
that We have already made change
along the line you suggest, viz,
dividing the country into districts
and sending into such districts the
seed adapted thereto. I am very
much obliged to you for your kind
interest in the work, and assure you
that We shall be happy at any time
10 carry out any suggestions you
may make, if in our power to do so.
Very respectfully,
B. T. Galloway,
Chief of Bureau.

is now the order Of the day.
This community has been blessed
with nice rain and the late corn
and peas are looking nice.
The protracted services commenced
at Union Sunday and will continue
for q few days.
Peaches and apples are about gone
but the good old muscadines have
come again.
Some of our people attended the
reunion at Little Mountain, August
s7sh. They report fine time.
This community was made sad by
the unexpected death of Mrs. Lucy
Ann shealy, the wife of Mr.. Frank
Shealy. About Is months ago she
received stroke of paralysis from
which she never fully recovered. A
few days previous to her death, she
received the second stroke, which
ended her life here on earth. Her
remains were laid to rest in the
Union cemetery Sunday in the pres
ence of large congregation OF sor-
rowing relatives and friends. The
bereayed family have our heartfelt
sympathy.

During the canvess of his District,
Congressman Lever, who is ever on
the alert in hunting up matters that
will interest and prove profitable to
his constituents, discovered that a
large variety Of seeds sent out by the

to the people of his district by reason
of their unsuitableness to our climate
ss well as to the needs and necessi'
ties of the people. he at once set
about to find a remedy for the evil
and have such see0s distributed in
his district that would be of practi-
cal benefit to those to whom the seed
