The Albanians, especially. are said 70

AGRICULTURAL
Rain and the Hay Product.

Rain and the Hay
Every farmer strives to get his hay
beyond the washing influence of rain
as 0 as possible. Rain water may
dissolve and remove more than ten per
cent. OF the dry matter of hay, and
what is thus removed may represent
quite twenty per cent. Of the feeding
value. Half an inch Of rain means
some fifty tons Of water per acre, and
II the crop be equally spread over the
ground, It is, of course, subjected to the
whole Of the washing influence of this
quantity of water. But If the crop be
put into cocks that occupy only one
tenth of the area, it follows that the
hay will be affected by only one-tenth
OF the rainfall, that is to say, by five
instead Of fifty tons of water. Not
only does water actually wash out
much OF the soluble and most valuable
constituents Of hay, but it also removes
the aroma, and leaves the crop much
less appetizing as food for stock. The
color, too, suffers, and with it the sell.

Fors Blight the Reans.

A dispatch from Salem saws that
many farmers who have been depend
ing on their lima bean crop to make up
deficiencies in other directions find
that they are badly left, as the crop
has turned out a miserable failure.
The heavy night fogs do not lift until
well along in the mornings, the damp
ness causing the pods to mould and
the beans to become musty. Joseph
Carton, Lemuel Halter, David Shrimp,
William Halter, Edward Hitchner,
John McCrane. Wallace Halter, Abel
Holman and Frank Robinson have from
three to ten acres in beans, and not
one has yet made a first picking and
some will not get a single bean. 1t is
estimated that the loss from this crop
alone will reach $500.

U. S. COURTS CONVENE
THIS MORNING
Sessions of Both Courts VIII Proba-

The United States Circuit and Dis

morning at 10 o'clock. Judge Speer did
not arrive last night, but will reach the
city this morning in company with sew
eral officers of the court Assistant
District Attorney Alexander Alderman
Is here, and will look after the interests
of the government in the absence of
Mr.. Leaken.
A number of lawyers from various
parts of South Georgia are in the city
and there will probably be a large reps
resentation from the local bar present
at the opening of the courts.
1t is probable that the session will
be short one. There are several mat
tiers in bankruptcy which have already
been assigned for a hearing, and many
discharges TO be signed by Judge
Speer. Besides these. and a few mat
ters of introductory nature, there is
little to engage the attention of the
all matters which are ready for dis
position shall have been disposed of.
No petit or grand jurors have been
drawn, so that besides matters in
chambers, no civil matters will come
before the Circuit Court. The court
will probably convene again in Savan-
nah next month, at which time crimi-
nal and civil cases will be tried before
juries. The present session of the court
was occasioned by the desire of the
gentlemen of the bar to dispose as soon
as might be, of matters in bankruptcy.

TO BUILD ITS OWN HOME.
south Side Administration Club Will
Have Permanent Headaunrters,

Have Permanent Headquarters.
Before the next political campaign
the South Side Administration Club
win be installed in home of its own.
A committee is even now engaged in
looking around for a site upon which
to build.
1t is the clubs idea to have two
story building capable of accommo-
dating between 500 and 1000 persons.
The first floor will be rented as a. gro
Gerry and the second will be used by
the club. President John f. Glatigny
says that the plan is to have perma-
nent headquarters for the club with
social features.
The South Side organization now has
membership of 700 and is in a flour
lshing condition. The members not
only want a meeting place of their
own, but are anxious to have reading
and writing rooms, and it is intended
to have these conveniences. The COM
mittee that is now engaged in looking
for a suitable site is made UP of
President Glatigny, chairman, j. Rob-
ert Dreamer, Arthur j. Cummings,
Henry Dreeson and j. F. Bernhardt.
The club has not yet settled all
claims against 1t from the recent barbe-
cue and President Glatigny asks that
all bills be sent to him at once at No.
122 Bay street. east. The club will
hold its regular weekly rally Wednes-
day night, and it is expected that the
meeting will be largely attended. The
question of permanent headquarters
may come up at that time and Presi-
dent Glatigny's committee may have a
report to make.
