Some People Have Learned how
10 Get Rid of Both

W NSS 4NAo Va DSNA
Backache and kidney ache are
twin brothers.
You can't separate them.

Playing Even.

Alfalfa men I'm western Kansas have
q great grievance against the railroads
ano are making some noise about 1t.
They claim the railroads are discrlmi-
mating against them. 1t costs IS cents
a bushel to ship alfalfa seed. while the
vate for shipping millet is only 10 cents
q bushel, and they weigh just the same.
Nut one railroad man in ten can tell
which is millet and which Is alfalfa
seed by looking at it Inasmuch as the
railroads were giving the farmers the
worst of it some Of the shippers con-
cluded they would turn s trick them
selves, so they have been shipping al
falfa seed and labelling it millet to get
the 10 cent rate This subterfuge saves
about $3.50 a car.-St Louis Globe

of trade has gone on record favoring
fhe passage of bill by congress for its
establishment. A uniform system Of
grading grain under the supervision Of
the federal government has It's attrac-

must be observed in the framing ana

Keep Bees.

The value Of the bee in the work Of
fertilizing plants, by carrying pollen
from one plant to another, is greater
than its use in producing honey. In
fact, without the aid Of bees many
crops would be complete failures. Oar
win found that in 100 heads Of purple
clover protected from the visitation Of
bees not a seed was produced, while
100 heads visited by bees produced
nearls 5000 seeds. When two varieties
Of certain plants are grown in the same
neighhorhood there is liability Of
cross fertilization, as bees forage over
q large territory. 1t will therefore pay
the farmer or fruit grower to keep at
least one hive of bees or encourage his
neighbor to do so.

Manure Benehts.

Manure does not give full benefit in
one year. 1t is something that shows
good effects for several seasons. The
reason is that manure does not decom-
pose very quickly, and as the plants
can only utilize it as 1t becomes soluble
the manure lasts from one to three or
four years, according to the materials
Of which It is composed.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Union Of Texas Farmers.

A Dallas Tex.) special to the New
York Times says:
The farmers Of Texas are being un-
ionized at a rapid rate, although the
general public had no news OF the
movement until now.
Inquiry develops the fact that there
ale more than 5000 unions in Texas,
with q total membership Of 10000, and
the organization is spreading like wild
fire. 1t began at Emory, Rains coun-
ty. under the name of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union or
America" and is now established IN
nearly every populous county in the
state.
About the middle of February a
meeting is to be held for completing
q state organization, and it is believed
that the movement will spread to other
states, as did the Farmers alliance,
which originated in Texas. Ex-GoV-
ernor Hogg has been for political &C
ton. and it seems as though they are
taking his advice.
The purposes Of the union are to buy
and sell in bulk, to educate along agri-
cultural lines, to study politics and to
discuss political economy. Several
north Texas lodges during the last
few days have made extensive pur-
chases Of supplies in car load lots and
are encouraged by their saving.
Business men and politicians watch
the new movement with keen interest

Use of Lime.


Lime is not used as much as former
", and yet it is one Of the most essen
tial substances entering into the COM
position Of plants. 1t Is not only plant
food, but it exerts a chemical effect on
the soil which brings into use other
materials which are beyond the capac-
ity of plants to reduce. When green
food is turned under, lime will be found
valuable adjunct, as it neutralizes
the acids in the soils and combines
with them. It Is heavy substance and
has a tendency to 60 down; hence If
broadcasted on the surface Of field 1t
will sooner or later be within the reach
Of plants. Stone lime that has been
air Stacked until 1t is fine Is better than
any other form, and that from the gas
works (mostly sulphites and sulphides)
should not be used II the ordinary
stone lime can be procured. Every
farm should be lined occasionally, as
the benefit is sure to be much more
than the cost, and no harm can result.

AppIex and Their Markets.

The high price and shortage Of bar.
rels has been great burden to many
apple growers, out in the end 1t may
prove good thing. For one thing IT
has forced some growers to pack their
best fruit in boxes. This form Of pack
age is sure to grow in favor as soon as
buyers are accustomed to 1t. This
years shipments will he,.3 advertise it.
Growers will remember the tremen-
dous apple crop of 1896. The price was
low, and many predicted failure, but
the very low price forced shippers to
send the apples into new markets,
places where such fruit had never gone
before. This created new demands,
which have grown with each year. But
for that year Of cheap apples these de-
mands would be unheard of.-Rural
New Yorker.

GREAT CRUSADE TO BE MADE
BY SALVATI0NISTS
Salvation Army Will Hold Meetings
This and Next Week.

This and Next Week.
Capt. H. F. Hartman, who, as al
ready announced in the Morning News,
will have charge of all Salvation Army
affairs in Savannah, arrived yesterday,
and will at once enter upon his work
here.
Capt. Hartman stated that the Sal
walton Army would begin a crusade
against the forces of evil in the city,
and that great results are expected to
be accomplished. In fact, this crusade
began last night with the grand meet
ing" held in front of the Union Station.
Similar meetings will be held every
night of this and next week. Tonight
the place of meeting will be at Drayton
and Broughton streets, and tomorrow
night two meetings will be held. one
at Barnard and Broughton. and the
other at Bull and Congress streets.
Two meetings will be held Sunday
night also. one in front of the Union
Station. at which farewell will be
given to the retiring officers, and the
others in the Salvation Army Hall. at
which the new officers will be well
coined. The places of the meetings
next week have not yet been decided
unon.
Envoy Fuller leaves tonight for Bir-
mingham and Cadet Lord and Envoy
Benton leave Sunday, the former for
Jacksonville and the latter for Chatta-
nooga. These are the officers who have
been in charge of affairs here prior to
the COMING of Capt. Hartman.

NO UNEMPLOYED LABOR
IN SAVANNAH.
Contractors Say Skilled Labor Is in
Great Demand Here.

Contractors Say Skilled Labor Is in
Great Demand Here.
The demand for skilled labor in Sa-
vannah is greater than it has been in
long while, because of the great
number of buildings under construc-
ton, or about to be constructed.
And what is particularly pleasing
about this fact is that it indicates a
healthy, steady and natural growth,
and not one supported by artificial
stimulus of any kind, or one subject
to panical reaction said a real estate
man yesterday. Savannah has had
no Worlds Fair or boom agencies
to stimulate its pulse, but has depend
ed upon its natural advantages and
superiorities, and therefore it's growth
is of the permanent and healthy sort"
Everywhere throughout the city can
be heard the rap and tap of the car
penter's hammer, and according to
statements made by contractors, there
is positively no unemployed competent
labor in the city. This situation is
most encoura ging.
Speaking of the labor situation, Mr.
John H. Burgess. general manager of
the Savannah Contracting Company,
said:
IL ID SoAG " Sdy llldl IuGIe Is IlOl
laborer in Savannah who cannot get
work if he wants it. OF course there
are always a number of chronic loaf
ers, but no laborer in the city who is
willing to work will have any trouble
in finding employment. 1 know of
several contractors who are anxious
to get laborers and are having no lit
tie trouble in finding them. 1 don't
know of any labor unemployed. We
have had no applications for employ
ment in some time
Practically the same thing was said
by other prominent contractors. Con-
tractor Eason made the statement that
he had for several days been trying
to get three carpenters and had not
yet been successful. He also said
that the demand for labor was very
great and that he knew of no unem-
ployed labor in the city.
1t is no eXaggeration to say that la
Dor conditions in Savannah are in bet
ter condition than they have been in
years.

BUILDING WILL
BE TEN STORIES
IS PRACTICALLY DECIDED.
NEW NATIONAL BANK utilizing
WILL BE TALLEST IN CITY.

Mayor Myers Gone to New York
Where He Will Meet Architect
WitcOver and Final Arrangements
VIII BE Made-Bids for Erection OF
Building Will BE Advertised for
and Opened About Oct. mr.. NY
ers Will Make n Careful Study OF
Political Situation While North.
Mayor Myers left early yesterday
afternoon for New York, where he will
spend two or three weeks. during
which time he will attend the National
Convention of Bankers, which meets on
Sept. II and 10.
Mayor Myers will meet Mr.. w. H.
Witcover, the architect for the new
National Bank of Savannah building,
and some final arrangements in regard
to the building will there be perfected.
1t has been definitely decided to erect
ten-stOry structure, instead of five,
as was contemplated for time.
This will make the building the tall
est in Savannah. 1t will be the hand
soonest structure in the city also, be-
ing equipped with every improvements
and convenience known to the building
art, the bank officials say. It will be
as up-to-date as any skyscraper in the
country, according to the plans and
specifications prepared.
During his stay in the North Mayor
Myers will make careful study of the
political situation. He is very much
interested in the presidential campaign,
believing Parker will make a better race
than any other Democrat who could
have been nominated. Mr.. Myers is
inclined to think that Parker has a fine
chance of being elected, but says he
will be better able to tell after talk
ing with certain people in New York
Find out what the Independents and
the Democrats who would not vote
for Bryan are going to do, and you
form a very accurate idea of the out
come of the election" said the Mayor
in discussing the matter yesterday. Il
intend to investigate the matter as
carefully as l can. I am more inter
ested in the present race than in any
in number of years.
Bids for the erection of the bank
will be called for very soon, shortly
after Mr.. Witcover's return to the city.
Although the ten-story building has
been agreed upon, bids may be asked
for on both the five and the ten-story
structures This will be for the direc-
tors to be able to estimate exactly
which will be the cheaper structure,
according to the amount of income
each would bring in.
The bids for putting up the build
ing will be opened about Oct. 1.

DRINKING FOUNTAINS
IN PARKS AND SQUARES.
Alderman GarfunkIe VIII Purchase
Samples when He Goes North.

Samples When He Goes North.
Drinking fountains are to be plac-
ed in every square and park in the
city within a few months.
Alderman A. J. Garfunkel, chair
man of the water works committee,
who leaves for New York Saturday on
a business trip. will during his visit
North secure several samples Of four
tains that he thinks will serve the pur-
pose.
These samples, two or three in num-
Der, will be placed in the squares i'm
mediately upon the return of Alder
man Garfunkel. The matter will then
be brought before Council and the
fountains will be secured for each
and every park. and square in the
city, if the other aldermen agree as it
is presumed they will, with Alderman
GarfunkeI.
The fountains for drinking purposes
are badly needed. There are only one
or two public drinking fountains for
people in the city. The horses and
mules are more generously supplied
The fountains for people are practical
ly certain to be added, and there will
doubtless be several additional foun-
tains put in for horses.
There is every reason to suppose that
the move will be a very popular one
In almost every square in the city
there are children playing every day
while nurses congregate with the little
ones, VINO are not yet old enough to
play alone. The presence of drinking
fountains will be a great convenience
TO these and will be appreciated by the
parents of the children, it is thought.
The fountains will be a great con-
Venience to pedestrians, generally, es-
pecially in the summer time. That the
fountains are needed and will be APP
preciated is shown by the constant use
of the one drinking fountain in For
syth Park. 1t will be only short time
until similar fountains, though not so
COSTLY will be found all over the city.
The fountains need not cost a great
deal. Alderman Garfunkel, who has in
vestigated the matter, says. His idea
is to buy cheap but serviceable foun-
tafns. He favors getting the cheapest
that can be secured, that will look
we'll.
Automatic cocks will be insisted
upon, so that there will be no waste
OF water. The fountains, when not be-
ing held open by some one desiring
a drink of water will automatically
close. With that kind of a fountain
only a nominal amount of water will
be used, though the thirst of the en-
tire city will be relieved.

STATESB0R0 AFFAIR
HAS PROVED EXPENSIVE.
Court of Inquiry. Railroad Trains
and Substinence Mean Considerable.

Court of Inquiry. Railroad Trains
! and Substinence Mean Considerable.
Aside from the other unfortunate
events connected with the Statesboro
affair the matter of the expense to the
state will make little hole in the
treasury, especially if the state should
happen TO be hard-up, when the bills
come in.
Just at present the court of inquiry
is the item of expense. though this
is a bagatelle compared TO bills for
other expenses resulting from the
StatesbOro trouble.
Service on the court of inquiry is
more Of a patriotic duty than a
source Of profit The staff officers are
allowed 81 per diem, and the officers
of lower rank 81. From this sum
they pay their hotel bills. Their travel
ing expenses are paid by the state.
Fig3-1ng on this basis, the court will
cost tzS etSte. including a stenographer,
about so per day. From present in
dications foUr or five days will be con-
Sumed in he hearing of evidence.
For carrying the troops to Statesboro,
two trains. the Seaboard received near
ly $500. The cost of keeping the COM
pany commanded by Capt. Hitch at
Statesburo was about 5000. Should i
court ma. .al be the outcome of the
inquiry now in progress, there will be
a considerable addition to the figures,
which will soon approximate $500.
Besides the loss to the state, the
members of the court will themselves
be giving their services at a consid-
cradle personal sacrifice. For instance,
Col. Wooten is to be in command of
the First Provisional Regiment from
this state, which will leave for Man
assas in just eight days. His private
business is also of course, needing his
attention. Other members of the court
are spending valuable time which they
are periodically giving to the state.

ESCAPED CONVICT FROM
COLUMBIA CAUGHT HERE,
Supervisor Owens VIII Carry the
Prisoner Back Himself


Supervisor S. H. Owens of Columbia,
S. c., arrived in the city last night to
get Paul Payne. a negro convict, who
escaped from the changing near CO.
lumbia some time ago.
Payne was sent up on two cases of
larceny and had three years to serve.
He had been on the gang only a few
months. when he was made a trusty.
The first opportunity that presented it,
self he made his escape.
Mr.. Owens has charge of all the
roads and convicts i'm his county. The
position of supervisor takes the place
of the Board of County Commissioners
here. He was coming to Savannah
anyway, and. therefore. decided to car
ry back the prisoner himself, instead
of sending guard for him. The ne
gro was caught by Detectives Bostick
and Davis. who will receive the re-
ward.
Mr.. Owens will not leave until this
afternoon with his prisoner. While
here he will make an inspection of
some of the county roads.

MANY EXPIRATlONS
AT FORT SCREVEN.
Caused by Splitting of Artillery
Companies Three Years Ago.

Caused by Splitting of Artillery
Companies Three Years Ago.
An unusually large number of SOL
dicrs are going out from Fort Screven
just now on the expiration of their
terms of service.
A small percentage are enlisting for
service at Camp Presidio, San Fran
CISCO. while others have enlisted as
members of the Jefferson Guards, do
ing duty at the Worlds Fair at St.
Louis.
1t is estimated that seventy-ffve men
will be released within the next three
or four weeks.
The heavy increase in expirations is
due to the fact that three years ago
some of the artillery companies at Fort
Screven were split, and the half-com-
panies were filed out with recruits.
The terms of these recruits are expir-
ing about this time.
The vacancies will be filled by re-
cruits from Columbus Barracks, at Co
lumbus, o.
