A Washington special to the Allan
ia Journal says appropriations for pub
lie buildings, river and harbor i'm
provements, pensions and war claims
are rapidly assuming minor place in
the interest of southern congressman.
A new feature has appeared on the
face of the federal political field, and
it is demanding their time and atten-
ton to an extent seldom attributed to
these Jealous statesmen from the trOp.
ical and semi-tropical sections. The
new factor in their fields is the anthem
Omous grandis.
The autonomous grandls is high
sounding name, but the thing itself is
anything else but highly esteemed by
those who are acquainted with it. On
the other hand. it is a plague, and be-
ing plague 1t is generally cursed and
condemned.
1t is not beast. Neither is it bird.
Nor is it a grasshopper, to form a
plague like that which overran Kan.
sas. Though it constitutes plague as
promising in vexatious consequences
as that Australia experienced, yet it is
not jack-rabbit.
1t is cross between bug and a
worm. A sickly, sunburnt, Mexican
thing, the size of a pumpkin seed he
is. But if there be such thing as a
tapeworm inhabiting insects, the an
thonomous grandis has got,one, for he
has an appetite which, if implanted in
the same proportion to his size in man,
would enable the human specie to eat
a quarterTnile section of stone fence.
And the appetite of the autonomous
grandis lis appeased only on cotton
bolls. Which is 10 confess without
further fllibustering that the anthem
omous grandis is nothing more nor less
than the low down common boil wee
vii, the Mexican gresser in the world
of insects.
The unusual activity among southern
congressman is spent in efforts to CD

Before the tunnel had been dug very

came so intense that it was not only
upossible to work but actually impos-

For time it seemed as if the line OF
the tunnel would have to be changed,
But the clever engineers solved the
difficulty in a better way and thew &C
nay managed to make the hot water
provide it's own remedy,
They piped the mountain, and soon
they had 1900 gallons of steaaing
hot water flowing out of the south side
end of the tunnel every minute of the
day and night.
They harnessed this immense dow,
and before long they had it driving

threatened to stop the work, is operat-
Ing machinery that blows cold air into
places where the air is too hot and

DEMOCRATS WILL MsIT PARKER

'cessful if JudgeP arker is the nominee.
There are stilla few democrats from
the south who want to see Senator
German, of Maryland, given the pres
idenLial nomination, but they are
greatly in the minority. One of the
arguments advanced against Senator
Germans nomination is that German
has long record 10 public life, while
Judge 'Parker'Sa'ecOrd is confined al
most exclusively to the judiciary.
"What we want is a New York man to
rug for the presidency" said Repre-,
sentative Clayton, of Alabama, "aad
ifParker is nomi mated we can sweep
the country"

LOOKING FOR A CANDIDATE
NO ONE WHO WAS CONSPICUOUS FOR
OR AGAINST BRYAN CAN WIN.
New York HeraId's Poll of Democratic
Senators and Representatives Shows
Judge Parker TO Be the Preference.

The New York Herald has been ask
ing democratic representatives and
senators whom they favor for presi-
dent. Naturally only few of them
are prepared to state their preference
at present. Even if they have pref
erence they do not care to state it,
prefering 20 wait and see what the
sentlmentof the rank and file OF the
party in bheir respective states Is.
Those who have the good of the par
ty at heart want to see a ticket and a
platform that will command the sup
port OF The entire organization. 1t is
clear that no one who was conspic-
uously identified with Mr.. Bryan in
the campaign of 1896 and 1900, or who
was bitterly opposed TO him in those
cam paigns, is likely to get the Bomi-
nation. The fact that Mr.. Bryan has
refused to be present at the harmony
banquet that the IroQuois Club of Chi
cage proposes to give, because Mr..
Cleveland is to be invited, has no doubt
been widely noticed and it's signi6-
canoe commented upon. Mr. Bryan
practically said that he and his friends
would mot give their support to any
one who was consDicuously active in
opposing him when he was the party
standard bearer.
If harmony is to be obtained there
fore, and harmony is necessary to sue
cess, "a man must be nominated who
was not conspicuous in the Bryan cam
paigns. There is undou btedly grow
ing belief that Judge Parker OF New
York stands an excellent chance of
being chosen to lead the democracy.
In brief talk the other day President
Roosevelt said that he, Roosevelt,
would be the republican nominee for
president and that Judge Parker
would be the democratic nominee
that the nominees OF the two great
parties would be from the same state.
No doubt the president has canYassed |
the situation pretty thoroughly, |
though it is far from certain that his |
prediction will prove to be correct.
The Herald made inquiries of seven
ty-four democratic representatives and |
fifteen democratic senators. OF the |
interviewed, forty
three refused to express choice. OF
the other thirty-one, however, twenty
three expressed preference for Judge
Parker. OF the fifteen senators
twelve declined TO state their prefer
ence and three said they favored
Judge Parker.
Other candidates had friends among
those interviewed, but Judge Parker
was far in the lead. Many things
may occur, however, between now and
the time for the meeting of the nomi~
Mating convention to change the SEN
timent of the party respecting the
proper man for its standard bearer,
but at present Judge Parker appears
to be the favorite.- Savannah News.

G.. "A. Griffith lost valuable
horse last Sunday, he was driven
four or five miles in the garbage,
on returning he took sick dying
soon after reaching home. This
is the second horse he has lost
this winter; the other was mired
in the river, dying soon after he
was gotten out. He also lost a
valuable COW last Sunday, sup
posedly corn stalk disease.
Next Monday February the sec

Well do ! remember the customs
of the day in my boyhood.
SiXtyfive years ago it was said to
be mid winter so many took an
inventory of their feed to see if
they had sufficient to last them
till spring. Dough-nuts must be
baked on Candlemass night or we
would not raise any flax the COM
ing season and as we were de-
pendent on linen cloth for our
summer wear we carefully COM
piled with the custom. The
aforesaid flax must all be spun by
candlemass and yarn ready to go
to the weaver and any who failed
to finish their spinning, unless
providentially rendered were con-
sidered careless and lazy.

Farmers Wife Gets a Share

Most farm papers are gotten up
with the idea that they are read
only by the man who runs the
farm. Probably they are, because
there is nothing in most of them
to interest anyone else, and very
often it is pretty dry reading for
him. There is one farm paper,
however, that is not built on this
plan-The Twentieth Century
Farmer-whose editor has kept
the whole family in mind in get
ting up the paper. There are
two pages that are given over to
the things that interest the far
merS wife, and page for the
young folks. Besides this she al
ways reads the stories, Frank Car
penter's letters of travel, the poul-
try department and some other
departments.
