CORN WITH COTTON.
Specimen Stalk of Cotton Grown
Under Aldrich System.

Writes TO Inc News and Courier
as follows:
| send you today stalk of cot
ton grown on my double barrell-
ed system of farming, having 1875
bolls and forms on it, the bolls
ranging in size from full grown
to small ones with the blossoms
still adding to them.
This, it is scarcely necessary to
mention, is not exactly a sample
stalk of my crop, for while there
are many like it in the field, there
are a great many more less, but
the fact that quite large mum.
Der Of stalks have borne like the
one sent to your office is enough
to show that with good manurlng
and scientific cultivation such
cotton may be produced IN inter-
mediate rows where corn that
has made 40 bushels to the acre
was produced. In other words,
1T amounts to demonstration
that what you have named my
double barrelled system of farm
ing is success. You will note
that there are no rolled bolls on
this stalk and it was in full foil.

My friend, Eugene Walter, sur
missed that the rank growth of
peas on the sides of the corn rows
nearest the cotton might produce

published good farmer from
Bamberg county, whom he is &C
quainted with, to wit. Mr.. j. O.
Shipes, came here and mlnutely,
and carefully inspected my crop
and questioned me on my system
of preparing, manuring and cult

son of the growing crop before

adopt the system himself.
Mr.. Sh!pes is successful farm

Bamberg, splendid business
man himself, SAID that his eX-
ample had been of signal benefit
to the farmers around BAN berg.
If as good farmer as Mr..
o.Ipes IN every County Of the
state would in the year 1904 try
my system so that the farmers
who 90 not read the newspapers
might see its merits, there would
begin an era of prosperity to the
State never before approximated

THIRrY-FIvE TO TAKE PART.
Foreign Countries That Will Be Repre-
sented at St. Louis.

Mr.. John Barrett who visited Asia as
commissioner general of the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition, in behalf of the expo
sition management has issued a statement
with reference to foreign participation in
the exposition. He says in part:
Although in the introductory negotia-
tions such important governments as Rus
sia and Austria in Europe, and Japan and
China In Asia. declined to participate, and
the outlook was discouraging for other
prominent nations, thirty-five of the forty
odd Independent countries of the world
now have formally accepted the invitation
to take part, while not less than ten of
the great colonies of European nations are
preparing comprehensive exhibits entirely
apart from those Of the home governments
The countries above mentioned as first re-
fusing to be represented have finally recon-
sidered their action and decided to take
part on an unprecedented scale.
"In short, forty-five foreign lands, in
dependent and dependent, will be seen in
miniature, as it were, at st. Louis in 1904.
A carefully prepared summary Of the appro-
priations made, or officially assured by
foreign governments for pavilions and ex-
hibits shows a grand total of SO, 100 600
This exceeds by nearly $1OOO,0O0 the
amount correspondingly appropriated for
the Chicago's Worlds Fair in 1893, and
represents an average of nearly $4,000 for
each country. Europe will expend approx

PROPER CARE OF CUT GLASS

With proper care cut glass should keen

washed in greasy dish water or if exposed
to extremes Of heat and cold. Cut glass
articles require much more care during the
process of washing than those made Of
plain glass. because of the unequal thick
ness of the glass. which makes it expand
and shrink irregularly.
Warm water. the best CASTLE or other
pure soap and a stiff brush are the first
essentials. Wash carefully In a good suds

tings. Rinse the glass of in clear water Of
the same temperature and set to drain.
After five minutes put In box of box

FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
Senator carmac.. Explains Object of
His Bill

CHICAGO, September ia dispatch to
the Tribune from Memphis, Tenn, says:
United States Senator 'Carmack explained
last night that his purpose in proposing to
Introduce a bill at the aext session of Con-
gress for the repeal of the fifteenth amend
ment, thus DISTINGUISHING the negro, Is sim
ply to open up discussion which will con-
tribute to a solution of the race problem.
To Senator Carmack:s mind the surest
plan of solving the negro question as 1t af-
fects the white race bpth socially and po-
Htically, lies in the negts's elimination from
politics. Should the fifteenth amendment
be repealed the question of treating with
the negro would be left'to the states
Another view entertained by Senator Car
mack Is for the separation of the races.
But how to proceed, or how long 1t will
take. he does not attempt to say. He be-
neves, however, that the races would be
better conditioned If they were separated.
He believes the black race is failure: that
1t owes what little it has achieved to its as
ISOLATION with the white race.
AS to the enfranchisement of the negro
Immediately after the war between the
states, the senator regards that as the mis-
take for which the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment would be only partial repara-
tion.

REFUSED TO WORK.
Indians Say That All Must Be En-
ployed or None

strike of the Warmers Ranch Indians
in California for the employment of their
tribe as a unit on irrigation work ordered
by the government for their sole benefit
has been reported to the Interior Depart
ment by George Butler, irrigation superin-
tendent
MIR. Butler was ordered to the Pala ranch.
whence the Warmers Ranch Indians recent
ly were transferred after years of trouble,
to develop a water supply and dig irriga-
ton bitches for the benefit of the Indians.
He employed eight of them at s1.25 day
on August 81, promising to employ all
whenever extension of the work warranted.
but the Indians refused to go to work, de-
Gliding at a council meeting that all or none
of their number should be employed. Mr..
Buffers report arraigns the tribe dis
satisfied. unruly and unsettled says they
attempt to dictate the policy of the reserva-
ton and terms of labor, and refuse to affil-
late with the other Indians, except at hes-
tas. At a recent fiesta, he says, forty
places where drinks were sold were counted
and the report adds: 1T is said deputy
marshal was running a game wide open.''
The report questions the advisablity of
employing the Indians on the irrigation
work under the circumstances.

THAT CANNON SCANDAL.
Fugitive From Virginia Justice Would
Like to Return.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NORFOLK. Va, September 15-It has de-
veloped that application has been made to
three governors of Virginia for pardon
In the case of Joseph Promise Cannon, con-
victed with Guy Hall and Willie Smith of
conspiring to debauch for divorce purposes,
Cannon's young bride of a few weeks, Lii
Ian Balm Cannon. of Portsmouth
Shortly after Canyon skipped his bail
bond pending an appeal of the case to the
court of appeals of Virginia and became a
fugitive from Justice more than six years
ago, application was made to Governor
Charles T. O'Ferrall for pardon, but the
governor. 1t is stated. declined to accept
the papers in the matter until Cannon re-
turned from Canada to which place he had
ned. and again placed himself in the juris-
diction of the court in which he had been
convicted.
Cannon thought he had better remain out
OF Jail. and the Cannon family settled down
In Montreal, where young Joe launched out
in the tomb stone business and shortly after
took unto himself another wife, his former
wife. Mrs. Lillian Balm Cannon having in
the mean time obtained a divorce and the
S,OO in cash. which the Cannons had given
her to ward off any possible damage suit
for alleged defamation of character, etc.
Soon after Governor ]. Hoge Tyler came
into office the petition for a pardon in Can
mons case was renewed. and 1t is learned
Tyler. who was pardon clerk to the gov
ernor. that Notwithstanding the fact that
Gov. Tyler refused repeatedly to consider
the application until Cannon. whom he re-
garded in contempt of court. returned to
Norfolk and submitted himself to the SEN
tence of the trial judge. the Cannon family
and their representatives were continually
bringing the matter UP. and Major Tyler
thinks that the governor was importuned
unsucceSSfuIly as many a hundred times
to indicate what his action would be in the
event that Cannon returned to Norfolk and
surrendered himself
The commonwealth attorney says that
the mere fact that the Canadian climate is
too severe for Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Cannon
ST., who will not return to Norfolk to live
until they know that their son Joe can
come with him wife and three children to
visit them at will without having to be
thrown in jail. Is no reason at all for a
pardon to this convict and fugitive. and
that pardons can only be expected from the
executive when the convict has been pun
ished to sufficient degree, and certainly
not when the applicant Is convict fugitive
who has never been punished The COM
monWealth's attorney can view the case
from no standpoint that would justify
pardon for Cannon.

SUGGESTED CHANGE.
Health Department Asks for Control Of
Part of Reservation.

TarL OF reservation.
Health Officer Woodward, in a letter to
the Commissioners, asks that the portion
Of reservation 1 3lying Immediately west of
the smallpox hospital inclosure and be-
tween that inclosure and the roadway lead
ing to the COW barn of the Washington
Asylum. be placed under the control of the
health department. He asks for the ground
as place for the maintenance of poultry,
which it may be desired to keep. The
space referred to is now under the juris-
diction of the superintendent of parking
and contains small number Of young
trees Its allotment to the health depart
ment would not interfere with the removal
of such trees
I'm connection with the maintenance of
the smallpox hospital" says Dr. Wood
ward. 1.-The janitor in charge has for
some time kept chickens, his own personal
property. These have been fed to certain
extent from scraps from the institution
and have been cared for by him in connec-
ton with his official work. The eggs pro-
duced by them have been used by the pa
tients and staff of the smallpox hospital
when the hospital has been in operation.
The maintenance of the chickens has, there
fore. in my judgment, been distinct ad-
vantage to the institution. The inclosure
connected with the hospital is so small that
the presence of the chickens in it tends to
create a nuisance. 1t Is impossible to allow
them to run outside at large. For this rea-
son ask the allotment of extra space"

CRUISE OF THE RAINBOW.
The Department Notified That She Has
Sailed From North Borneo,

telegram has been received at the Navy
Department reporting the departure of the
United States steamer Rainbow from San
dakan. north Borneo, for Cavite, P. I. The
Rainbow is the flagship of Rear Admiral
Sterling, of the division commanders
of the Asiatic fleet.
Although the officials of the department
express ignorance as to the object of Ad-
miral Sterlng's visit to Sandakan, it is pos
sibly significant In view of the questions
recently raised by the British government
with regard to the responsibility for the
protection of commerce in that quarter of
the world. 1t is presumed that the admiral
investigated the general situation in those
waters with view to assisting the State
Department in the conduct of the negotia-
dons with the British government. 1t is
said that the British government desires to
send an expedition against the pirates in
Testing those islands. and is deferred from
so doing only by reason of the claim of the
United States to Jurisdiction over the
islands.
