scended to get the tools.
He had gone but little way when he
was overcome by the fumes and fell to the
bottom. He called for help as he was fall
ing and q ladder was obtained at once and
Richardson started into the tank to his as
sistance.
Richardson, too, was overcome by the
lowed Richardson intending to get both
men out of the tank. Wnen he felt the
fumes overpowering him he chung to the
ladder until companions hauled him
back out of danger. Walker and Richard

Southern Agriculture.
the Southern Farm Magazine.

FROM the southern Farm magazine.
The most unobservant cannot fail to per-
ceive the rapid Improvement that is taking
place in the agriculture of the south. This
improvement is not confined simply to the
methods looking to the increase in the yield
of the various crops, but IS shown in the
better condition of the farms and the
higher character of the livestock, in the
number of new farm buildings, the better
ment of the fences, and. above ALL in the
reclamation of the waste lands and their
restoration to a condition of profitable cul-
tivation by the application of manures and
fertilizers. This improvement Is also man
ifested in the larger number of painted
houses and the better outbuildings, in the
new orchards that have been planted, in the
ornamental trees that have been set out
and in the general air of prosperity which
pervades the country districts.
Doubtless the general prosperity of the
country has had much to do with this adj
vance to higher degree of thrift among
the farmers. but there are other causes
equally as potent. In the first place, the
farmers are giving closer attention to their
business than they have for forty years.
Fewer Of them visit the country stores for
gossip or to discuss the political situation,
and fewer of them still indulge in strong
drink. The hope that by some chance OF
speculation or otherwise they may be
placed in condition Of adauence without
work Is dissipated.

BALTIMORE, Md, August 49, 1903.
The result of the republican primaries.
held throughout the state yesterday, stu
leaves unsettled the matter as to whether
Senator McComas or Representative Mudd
shall be the leader of the party In Mary
land. The primaries to be held in Balu-
more on September next must therefore
decide as between the organization and
differentiation republicans, and the pri-
maries will, therefore, be all the more holly
contested in view of this fact
The total number Of votes in the state
convention is 1913. Consequently 65 Will
be necessary for control. AS the situation
now stands the regular organization, or
McComas element. is in the lead.
The Pivotal Points.
The fact must not be lost sight of, how
ever, that Baltimore city and Allegany
county are the pivotal points, and as they
go so goes the control of the convention.
The two forces have before lined up in
Baltimore and the anti-McComas element
won out Representative Wachter, who is
conducting the fight in the city against the
senator, claims that there is no possible
way by which the organization can WIN in
Baltimore. fractional feeling is running
high and already there have been personal
dicted that primary day will witness many
free fights at the polls, and possibly riots
and bloodshed.

new enterprise in Annapolis that start
ed in operation the latter part of the week
is causing the midshipmen a good deal of
annoyance. 1t is a canning factory. To-
Gated near the new part Of the Naval Acad-
envy, which blows steam whistle for its
employees that sounds similar to the siren
call of fire used in the Naval Academy.
Yesterday afternoon about 200 midship-
men had liberty in town. when the canning
factory siren blew. The midshipmen ran
full speed to the Academy to respond to
the fire call. as they supposed, only to dis
cover their mistake. One of the midship-
men ran out of a barber shop with his face
but half shaved. as no matter where they
are the midshipmen are expected to re-
spond quickly to the siren call. The mis-
take caused by similarity of the new can

Naval Academy has occasioned much
amusement.
