absorb gases has enabled some farm
ers to gain fertility to their soils by
its use; while ammonia is largely
brought down by rains to the soil. the
result being that il is converted into
nitric acid. In the soil there is large
and abundant supply of plant foods,
but they do not exist in forms which
permit of their use except in limited
supply. This is a provision of nature
to prevent exhaustion of the soil, for
If the plant foods in the soil were cas-
lily rendered soluble the soil would long
ago have been deprived of them But
they are in the soil, and ready for
use when demanded; but the soil will
not give up these foods except when
certain natural laws have been COM
piled with. even the farmer cannot
rob the soil by taking therefrom more
than a fair proportion unless he pays
the cost of so doing to an amount which
is really prohibitory to certain ex-
tent. When farmer eXhausts soil
by excessive cropping, and without
returning something as compensation
therefor. he simply deprives the soil
of its soluble portions, but even the
poorest soil will have left, for flu
ture reserve, its vast stores of insol-
uble plant foods.

osition for the purchase of the two
firms holders Of Seaboard stock.
Mr.. Robert c. Davidson, chairman
of the committee. told the Baltimore
Sun that the committee had not re-
ceived a telegram from Mr.. Gould and
that he had not heard of anybody else
in the city getting a message from
him of the character reported. 1t was
thought that possibly Mr.. Gould had
given the instructions by wire to one
of the Gould representatives in Balti-
more, but none would admit receiving
it.
1t is said that in addition to about
1856 shares of Seaboard stock on
which the embarrassed firms gave an
option to Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co.
of New York. who are believed to rep
resent Rock Island interests, they still
have about 100000 shares which, If ac-
quired in bulk, would go a long way
toward giving the purchaser control
Of the property. 1t is said that there
is total issue of 10000 shares Of pre-
ferred stock and 100000 shares of COM
mon stock. If this be correct and the
Williams Middendorf firms held over

BE Assassins.

Dublin, Ga. Oct. 11-Infornation has
reached the city of the attempted as
sassination of Mr.. Bunch" Lovett at
fuckers Cross Roads in this county
Friday night. Mr.. Lovett was fired
upon several times by persons con-
cealed in "a fence corner, and a horse
he was leading was shot down, the
sides of the animal being filled with
shot.
The shooting occurred about mid
night near the barn of Mr. I. f. Brant-
ley. Mr.. Lovett had been in one of
Mr. Brantley's fields to take posses
sion of a horse which he had levied
upon as the property of DR.. j. r.
Dent. The assault upon him was made
before he reached the barn of Mr.
Brantley, where he intended placing
the horse.
On Friday Mr.. Lovett served two
warrants upon DR.. Dent. He was depu-
tiled by City Court sheriff to serve
the warrants. DR.. Dent gave bonds
in each case. Some time during Fri
day night he returned to fuckers
Cross Roads to levy upon the horse
of DR.. Dent
All day yesterday and last night Mr..

stove until the kernels send out sprouts

the corn on papers to dry. and go forth
to the fields and forests for the other
ingredients. Cut six whisks of brush
from thrifty limbs of the black spruce,
pull two or three quarts of boxberry
leaves, dig two pounds of sarsaparilla
roots, and, having added a small touch
of ginger and cleaned the whole mass,
put the ingredients in wash-boiler,
cover with warm water and let them
simmer on the back of the range all
day.
Meantime place the corn that has
been in soak on the stove, and dry il
thoroughly. Then rub off the sprouts
and throw them away, and pound the
grain in mortar until it is crushed
to pulp. Now pour the liquid off
the herbs in the boiler add to it the
pulverized corn and simmer in a large
kettle for two or three hours. Having
done this, strain the resultant extract

From the New York Sun.
Indianapolis May 2O.-Mrs. Lulu
Hadley, whose refusal to make up
Booker T. Washington's bed at the
English Hotel caused her discharge
and brought her many presents and
compliments from the South, began to-
day to receive compliments and pres
ents from near home. One of them
was "a gold watch and chain. 1t was
delivered by a messenger. 1t was from
Citizens of Indianapolis"
The checks and orders received to-
day aggregated $780, She also received
word that the citizens of Houston have
begun to raise a fund for her At a
meeting this week $500 was subscribed,
and the Houston Chronicle is raising
a larger fund by subscriptions, ac-
knowledged in a column headed For
a self-respecting girl"
Subscriptions are coming in from all
parts of Texas, and it is true that the
Houston people will do better than
even the New Orleans people, who sent
her $1,000 at the meeting held in Hous-

One Of the speakers said that he had
more respect for a girl who refused to
make up Booker T. Washington's bed
than for a President who dined with
him.

FORGED A PASS.

Brunswick News: Beardless, re-
pentant, and sorely Inundated, young
Valentine Touchton, of Douglas, stood
at the prisoners bar in the Glynn Su
perior Court yesterday morning and
entered plea of guilty TO the charge
of having forged a pass over the At
lantic Coast Line from the Southern
junction to Bladen. Young Touchton,

operator in the employ of the Wadley
and Mt. Vernon extension at Douglas.
His father, w. NJ. Touchton is super
intendent Of the line and is one of the
most prominent men in Coffee county.
Young Touchton came to Brunswick
some time ago and in his anxiety to
ave railroad fare he forged the name
of the superintendent of the Atlantic
Coast Line to a pass. 1t was finally
decided to allow the defendant to plead
guilty to a misdemeanor and after de-
livering him a severe lecture, Judge
Parker fined him $50. co. which was
promptly paid.

DEEM TOOK POISON.

Tampa Herald: ]. F. Deem, one of
the largest turpentine operators of this
section, as the result of taking an
overdose of laudanum at some hour
last night, died this Thursday morn
ing shortly after o'clock, death
claiming him in the presence of his
family at his home near Limona. The
remains will be shipped to Baxley, Ca,
from which place the deceased came
several months ago, for interment. Mr..
Deems death is shrouded in considera-
BILE mystery, it not being known
whether he took the laudanum with
suicidal intent, or accidentally. as he
was unable to speak when found. Last
night he was in the best of spirits,
and retired as usual to rest. This
morning. however, he was discovered
when near deaths door, as the result
of having taken the drug. He leaves a
wife and several children.

TO THE FAR SOUTH.

A dispatch from Miami to the Flor
ida Times Union says: Contractor Nc
Crimmons is rushing the grading of
the branch of the Florida East Coast
Railway southwark as rapidly as pos
sible. The rock formation necessarily
makes the work rather slow. On the
whole, the cuts and fills are not deep,
and over all the ridges the rock has
to be removed by blasting. The piling
for the bridge over the Miami river
has been placed in position and a por-
ton of the bridge timbers are in place
and the steel draw is being put UP.
Cape Sable, the southernmost point in
the United States, a distance of near
ly $50 miles south of Jacksonville, will
soon be reached. The extension of the
road south has caused a great demand
for homestead lands, and the new
tracts left are being rapidly taken up.
The recent purchase of $4,000 acres of
land by the railway company, origi-
nally belonging to the old Tampa and
Key West Railway, will keep these
lands out of the hands of spectators
for actual settlers. South Of Cutler and
throughout the homestead country the
high lands are very heavily timbered.

rural standard, although, as a matter
of fact, hops contribute no more than
a slightly bitter taste. The starch
from the corn and the sugar. which are
the strength of spruce beer, are consid-
cred as entirely innocent things, and
so it is that the good country people,
who hold up their hands In holy horror
at the sight of a glass of lager, go on
happily and piously imbibing the
the spruce beer made at home, which,
while giving the same unlifting sensa-
ton as the wicked lager, is, all the
same, a good temperance drink, and
cures thousand ills that stump the

Wednesday afternoon, near his fathers
home, by swallowing quantity of car
bolic acid. Ernest was staying around

and Pickard being what is known as a
grab mail" station, Ernest was sent
10 the railroad about IL o'clock We'd

for the Macon bound train due at
Pickard at that time. While at the
grab or thereabout, he swallowed a
quantity of carbolic acid. He lived till

found in the boys pocket, that he was
tired of living.
