rs soon as a crop is ready to be har-
vested, to secure it by storing under
shelter There is but little doubt that
if the loss sustained from stacking
crops were accurately figured out,
there would be enough loss upon the
majority of farms in five years to pay
the cost of building barn sufficient
ly large to store all the crops raised
upon the farm.
The past two rainy seasons have, I
think, demonstrated that capital in
barns is a good investment There
are, however, a great many farmers
who are abundantly able to have con-
yenient barns for storing their crops
who have not, simply because they do
not believe the above statement. Upon
my own farm l have plenty of stor-
ing room for all the hay and grain. If
I had not, l would not hesitate a mo-
ment to invest in more barn room.
But where the barn room is lin
tied, and it is necessary to stack hay.
a derrick similar to the one illus
trated in the cut can be erected that
will greatly lessen the labor involved
in stacking. The derrick shown in cut
requires three poles, two 40 feet long
and one 81 feet. The two longest poles
should be arranged in the shape of an in
verified v by boiling the ends together
with a ree-quarter-inchb bolt. The poles
should be set into the ground at least
four feet in order to help stay the
derrick. The derrick can be raised
by the use of a rope and tackle, and
thus greatly lessen the heavy lifting.
1t will be necessary to stay the poles
by running a No. 10 wire from the
top to the single pole over the top
of the other poles, and then down to
the ground about 80 feet from the
foot of the derrick. 1t will also be
necessary to stay the derrick in 9TH
er directions. The manner in which
the fork is arranged is very clearly
shown in the cut. This derrick has
now been in use five seasons, and has
proved very satisfactory.-Le c. Rey-
nolds, in Ohio Farmer

ELECTORAL TICKETS.

Knoxville May 21.-Tenessee prohibi-
tionists placed themselves on record to-
day In state convention at Hartman as
opposed TO the candidacy of Gen Nelson
A. Miles for the nomination of the pres
idency on the prohibition ticket When
the convention was called to order by
State Chairman James A. Tate about 125
delegates were present Committees were
appointed and the convention organized
with r.. s. Cheves of johnson City, as
chairman. 1t was decided to nominate
a full state and electoral state ticket.
Twenty-three delegates to the Indian
apolls convention. together with alter
mates were named. When the question
OF a national nomination for the pres
dency came up the committee went on
record as opposed to General Miles cam
didacy. on the ground that he was not
prominent prohbitionist, merely re-
ceptive candidate, and that he could not
poll the full party strength in the south
on account of his war record.
The convention adjourned TO meet again
at Nashville during the Confederate re-
union at which time a full state ticket
will be named James A. Tate. chancel-
lor of the Hartman university. was made

READ OF CAPTURE
WITH INTEREST
|. II. PERDlCARIS THE VICTIM OF
BRIGANDS LAST WEEK IN MO-
ROCCO, is WELL KNOWN IN CO.
LUMBUS, GA.

Columbus. Ga. May 21.-(Special)-I. H.
Perdicaris. the wealthy American kid
mapped by brigands In Morocco a day or
two ago is well known In this city. For
nearly half a century he was the largest
individual stockholder in the Gas Light
company of Columbus. The gas works
here were built in 1851 by the firm of
Perdicarls e. Hoy of Philadelphia, the
first named member being the father of
the person captured by the Arabian bri-
gands. The elder Perdicaris has long
since passed away. and the press dis
patches state that his son, who is now
a captive, is about 20 years of age.
The stock of the Gas Light company of
Columbus changed hands last year, being
bought by the owners of the Columbus
Railroad company. Mr. Perdicaris was
travelling in Algiers at the time and the
consummation of the deal took longer
than 1t had been planned, as 1t was nec-
essary to get in communication with him.
he being the largest stockholder. Mr..
Perdicaris sold his stock. along with the
other stockholders, and on the same
terms.
Mr.. Perdiearis, although spending mu Il
of his time in Morocco, is an American
citizen, his business address being Phila-
delphia and his residence at Camden, NJ
j., Just across the Delaware river.
On account of his having been identi-
fed with Columbus interests so long, peo-
pie here are reading with intense interest
of the efforts Of three governments to
rescue the captives from the brigands.
Mr. Perdicaris ancestors came from
Greece. being driven from that country
by the prosecutions of the Turks.

Has Doubts About Parker.

Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
who has been one of the strongest sup
porters of Judge Parker and through
whose influence 1t has been expected his
state would send an instructed delega-
tion to ST. Louis said tonight that at the
state convention, which meets next
month, a delegation uninstructed would
be sent to the national democratic con-
vention.
"One month ago." said Senator Sim
mons, the state would have Instructed
for Parker The conditions, however, are
changing, and the sentiment In the state
seems to be for an uninstructed delega-
ton. This has always been North Caro-
lina's attitude and there is now no rea-
son why the state should depart from
it's old course.
Personally | am still for the nomina-
ton of Judge Parker, but 1t is not now
clear that his nomination is assured. As
long as it looked as though he would go
into the convention with a two-thirds
should not have instructed 1t is evident
now that he will not win on the first
ballot and the general tendency In the
country Is TO send uninstructed delegates
to the convention.
I'm North Carolina and other southern
states the Bryan influence is not strong,
but in the border states he still has in
fluence and his views have weight At
the st. Louis convention we should make
every effort to harmonize differences and
yield to each other where the welfare
of the party demands it. We have every
prospect of winning the coming election
and ii will not do to throw away the
golden opportunity before u.s.

Jap Troops Exhausted.

st. Petersburg, May 21.-The general
staff has received from Lieutenant Cen
eral Sakharoff the following despatch, un-
der date of today
During the last few days our
cavalry has discovered movements OF
japanese detachments of the Lao Yang
main road northeast OF Feng Wang
Cheng To the northwest, Japanese pa
trolls have penetrated as far as the WI
lages OF the Chin Chinsa, thirty miles dis
tant from Feng Wang Cheng. The horses
of the cavalry and the japanese guards
are much exhausted.
"A detachment of Japanese, consisting
of two squadrons of horse and three
companies Of artillery appeared In the
village of Zudiaputz, in the valley of the
La gogouk Ho, and a squadron of Jap
anese cavalry advanced from Siask-
wanlxhe by the high road towards Salts
zaipudza.
Reconnaissance by our infantry and
cavalry show that Japanese guards and
cavalry are operating in the valley OF
the Logogouk Ho. and along the Feng
Wang Cheng road.
There are no Japanese along the
banks of the lower Tayan Fo towards
Luanmiao, and Taionki Takushan and
Khondoukhan are occupied by small de-
tachments
According to Chinese reports, the Ja-
ranese are transporting provisions to the
Islands of Daloudao. near the mouth OF
the Tayan Ho. Shitouchen, In the valley
of the Ai-Ho, is still occupied by the

President Is Wrought Up.

The President is still in high state of
indignation over the advertising dodge
incident of a minstrel on the capitol
grounds Thursday. From the excited
talk from the messengers at the White
House yesterday it was feared for a time
by the timid citizens of Washington that
not only the whole police force for the
district but the federal troops stationed
here would be called out TO do some
thing, no matter what to sustain the Dig
nifty of the President.
Not one chief executive in a thousand
would dignity such trifiing episode with
notice 1t was all a terrible tempest
in an exceedingly diminutive teapot IL
is hardly probable, however that the
President had any objection to the negro
feature unless his views have changed.
When he gave the Booker Washington
dinner he announced the fact in state
ment issued from the White House ana
given to the Associated Press.

Washington, May 21.-(Special. )-"All
this talk about the recrudescence of the
Cleveland boom is sheer nonsense" said
Representative William A. Jones OF Vir-
ginia, Cleveland has no more show of
getting the Presidential nomination at the
ST. Louis convention than you or | have.
1t is just newspaper gossip and nothing
more"
How about Judge Parker now, Mr..
JoLes?" he was asked.
1T looks to me as if Parker has kill
ed Hearst all right, but that he has got
ten killed himself in doing so. 1t is a
sort of Kilkenny cat proposition. L do not
believe that either of them has a chance
of nomination now. The way Hill forced
Parker down the throats of Tammany
makes 1t look to me as If it will be inn
possible for the democrats to carry New
York with him as its leader, anc that
seems to be the main excuse for nomin-
ating Parker. The fact that Judge Par
ker will not talk himself, but permits
others to speak for him, will do him no
good either. I think it will hurt him."
With Hearst and Parker eliminated
what do you think of Judge Gray of Del
aware as a candidate?"
There is no more patriotic or broad
minded statesman in America today than
George Gray, and if he had voted the
regular ticket in 1896 l believe that he
could have had the place for the ask
ing, but he did not do SO, and l do not
believe that he could be elected on that
account, even If he were nominated |
told him when | last saw him at Will
mington as much, and L believe that he
felt the same way about It,"
Asked who ought to be nominated, Mr.
Jones replied:
IF the candidate is to carry New
York and to come from that state, l be-
lieve it ought to be George b. Mcclellan
mayor of Greater New York | do not
believe that there is a man that the
democrats could nominate who would
have fewer antagonists than Mcclellan -
