Austral,n,. wheat Shortage.

WASHINGTON Jan 3.--Two hun dred thousand tons of breadstuffs must be imported from wheat producing centers to Australia during the coming season to meet harvest deficiencies says United States Consul God.ng at Newcastle in a report to the state de partmcnt. The crop in New South Wales. he says, will not reach 50 per cent of the quantity reaped last year and Victoria will require imports of 3,G37,929 bushels of wheat to supply her needs The situation is not so bad in South Australia, though there the crop is less than last year. Fifteen thousand tons of California flour are afioat for New South Wales, but the consul says the price of California flour has risen so greatly that the effect will be to divert Q good deal of trade to Canada, which raises hard wheat of a class we'll suited to mix with California flour.

District Deputy Chamberlain Was Row

 Ihls makes the eighth lodge thai District Deputy Chamberlain of Hart Iord has visited within the past few months and never has he been better entertained nor more Loyalty treated. than ne was by the members of Wa terbury lodge last night. The meeting which preceded the social part of the evening was a protracted one and the lodge were treated to a genuine sur, prise at the words of praise which came from the district deputy on tie manner Ill which the meeting was con- ducted and also the initiatory part of the session. The members of the To- cal lodge have been very confident that they have pretty good lodge and ex- pected to meet with the approval of the district deputy but they did not expect such hearty approval as was accorded them. Four candidates were initiated and the work was well dane.
 The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion and although 1t ws,s a sort of impromptu affair never did a social session pass so enjoyably. It was the happiest, jolliest crowd that has ever attended session of the lodge and the district deputy remained to the finish and had as good time as any of the rest of them. W. II. Johnston was in the chairman's seat as the master of ceremonies and how l we'll he wielded that gavel the treas urer can tell.

Then Hop Sing May Get Employment
 in New Haven.
 Attorney Durant has undertaken measures to have Hop Sing released from the county jail, where he was taken some days ago in default of a judgment for $20 for running Attorney Holohan's linen. A bond of about S1OO will be necessary to obtain Sings release and give him the liberty of the county, which means the whole town of New Haven. It is then the in- tention of his friends to get him enl- ployment there. But Attorney Holo- hans counsel, Attorney J. J. O'Neill, will have something to say about this, and it may transpire that Sing may not be released from jail. If he deter mines to take the poor debtors oath he must finger in detention sixteen con- secutive days. While he remains in iail his board must be paid by Attor- ney Holohan. This is $3 a week. whereas if he is released on ball he must support himself. Sing makes the second person committed to jail from this town during the past year. The other was Mrs Griffin, who refused to pay bill to Undertaken Tomlinson for the burial of her daughter. She said she would ''rot'' in jail rather than pay the bill, and she even refused bail proffered by her son-in-law, who lives here. After short time in detention, however, she changed her mind and Is now living with another daughter in New Haven, that is. she Is enjoying tho liberties of the jail.

 Steps to Stop Them.
 New Britain, Jan 3.-The First di- vision, Ancient Order of Hibernians has started crusade against immoral shows. The recent performance, which brought forth denunciations from both press and pulpit, was wit messed by some members of the divis- ion, who took the first opportunity to express their disgust, and to take such steps as would be likely to make a re- petition of such performance very un- likely. The board of directors of the division is preparing a set of resolu- tions condemning these immoral shows. The Young Mems Temper ance society and all other Catholic or ganizations of the city will be asked to sign the resolutions and to join in 8 movement for putting them into eff feet.

POSSE IN A FIGHT.
Three Negroes Killed in Ugly Clash
Near New Orleans.

In an encounter between band Of
negroes, led by bad white men and a
constable's posse, three negroes have
been killed and seven Or eight wound
ed in the rear OF the Pecan Grove
plantation in St. Charles parish near
New Orleans. None Of the posse were
hurt. The surviving negroes and their
white leader, Pat MCGEE, are in the
Swamps and are being searched for.
Further trouble is feared.
MCGEE and the negroes have been
working for the Mississippi Valley
railway. Several days ago complaint
was lodged against some Of them that
they had contracted debts and refused
TO pay. Charges were made and Con-
stable Songy went out to see the ne
groes. On bis way be met John Hinds,
the negro assistant Of MCGEE, who
covered him with shot gun and COM
;nanded him to keep away from the
camp.
Sungy returned to St. Rose and Or
ganiZed posse. Near the camp the
posse encountered eighteen Of the ne
groes and McGee, all heavily armed.
Both parties concealed themselves in
high weeds and a battle OF twenty
minutes resulted. The negroes and
McGee finally lost nerve and fled.
The bodies Of three OF the negroes
were picked up when the smoke had
cleared away. Seven Of the negroes
are said to have been wounded.

Studying Our Methods.

Riozo Abe Of Osaka, Japan spent
Wednesday in Charleston studying the
methods of handling cotton and the
classification Of the staple. Mr.. Abe
is engaged in the manufacture Of
cloth in Japan and he is in the United
States for the purpose OF informing
himself on matters, connected with
the industry. He spent some time in
New York and is now travelling
through the south, visiting the cotton
fields and the ports. He is much in
terested in the harvesting and ginning
Of cotton and in fact in the entire
handling Of the crop from the time
that it is taken from the boil until it
is woven into yarn and cloth. Japan
manufactures considerable cloth, be
stated and also imports sufficient cot
ton to be able to export it in turn to
China. His Investigations Of the
methods of shipping cotton and hand
ling it generally will be put to use
upon his return to Japan.

Harvesting Sorghum.

In selecting sorghum seed three

much as possible, so in cutting I use
moving machines and self dumping
rakes as in harvesting hay. Instead.
however, of putting the sorghum into
windrows it Is punched by means OF
the horse rake. Each bunch will con-
tain from 600 to 1900 pounds. When it
is punched I 60 over the punches and
make them into shocks which will turn
rain and withstand storms. This is the
cheapest plan. and when carefully fol-
lowed the fodder will remain green and
bright until needed for feed. Just as
the seeds are becoming hard is the best
time to cut sorghum, as it is then in its
highest state Of perfection. Put into
shocks as soon as possible. leaving it in
the windrow only long enough to wilt.
OF course harvesting is difficult unless
the weather Is dry.-Oklahoma Farmer.

A New Slander.

Summer vacations and winter
trips to the South" says Secretary
Stuart of the New York State Health
Board, are fruitful sources Of typhoid
fever epidemic" Following out this
theory, he intimates that condition
in the South during mid winter are
such that every tourist takes in the
germ, cultivates it for a good long
period, and then scatters it after re-
turning home Naturally, the health
authorities are inclined to take issue
with Secretary Stuart His statement
is characterized as a wild fancy, to
which there is not the least founda-
ton, and indeed, several eminent
medical men have said it was due to
sectional feeling. We doubt that,
however. 1t requires too much strain
ing to believe anything like that, for
the charge was evidently made by a
man who was ignorant. DR.. Brunner,
of Georgia, believes that in evey COM
munity where typhoid fever is cpl
demic the trouble is due to local con-
ditions, and not to germs gathered
at Palm Beach or St. Augustine. It

Hanna is Worried.

The Ohio campaign is becoming
more interesting every day. A New
York paper attributes to Senator
Hanna the admission that the Re
publican nominee for governor is to
have mo such" in his contest against
Tom L. johnson, the Democratic
nominee. The Johnstown, Pa,
Democrat describes the situation in
an interesting way when it says:
The Republican and the reorganizer
papers are full Of Ohio political stuff
antagonistic to Tom L. johnson, the
Chicago Chronicle leading with
lurid tales of Democratic revolt and
of Republican jubilation. Perhaps
the wish is father to the thought.
But then it is remembered that when
he was running for congress the first
time it was confidently claimed that
the workingmen wouldn't touch him
with a 4O-foot pole and that there
fore he would never come in sight of
the wire. The same representations
were made when he came out for
mayor. All the Republican papers
and all the pluto-democratic organs
declared him to be impossible. But
somehow he won out all right and be
won out again and again each time
by a more sweeping majority. May
he not fool his enemies again? May
he not prove as potent in the state as
he has shown himself to be in Cleve-
land and in Cuyahoga? Of course
Bernard is against him in Hamilton
county. But he was against him be-
fore. He has always been against
anybody who was real Democrat
and if he can combine with Republi-
can Boss Cox so as to throw Hamil-
ton county over to Herrick the Re
publican candidate there isn't the
Slightest doubt that he will do it. !"
Tom johnson may be defeated, but
he is certainly giving Mark Hanna
great deal of uneasiness. In fact
the old boss boodler seems to have
tired feeling.
