LABOR DAY
IN DANVlELE

Labor Day was very generally OBJ.
served in this city Monday. There
was a general shutdown of all our
| industries. The workmen on the State
Highway leading to Mausdale. al
though largely composed of Italians,
also took day off and proceeded to
enjoy themselves according to their
own ideas and inclinations. The en-
ployes of Caldwell, Barry and Leon
ard. bridge contractors, and the hands
employed on the nanville and Blooms
burg Street Railway Company alone
remained at work. The two above
firms are very anxious to complete
their contracts within specified time
and need every day for their work.
The stores we're open during the
morning but were generally closed
during the afternoon and evening.
The first stir occurred early in the
morning when the Knights of the
Golden Eagle and their friends some
two hundred strong accompanied by
Stoes' band made their way to the P.
& r. station to take the 8 O'Clock
special train for Lewisburg, where the
order held big celebration yesterday.
81 Theyparade Of the a. A. of I. s. and
T. W. was most creditable affair and
was by no means the least successful
of the several interesting features Of
its annual picnic. There were two
hundred members of the Union in
line
The parade was headed by the Mech.
anicsville band. Several lodges Of
organized labor were represented.
First came the Bricklayers' Union,
which vas represented by a dozen
members all clad in white overalls.
Next came the Stove Mounters some
fifteen in number followed by rep.
resentation from the P. l.. Brewery,
consisting of eight men on horseback
and dressed in blue overalls and
blouses, all wearing caps. Immediate
ly after the mounted men came the
big brewery wagon drawn by four
horses and loaded with empty kegs.
The A. A. of /. s. and Il. W. brought
up the rear and were preceded by the
Washington Drum Corps
The parade forming at the Armory
moved up Mill street as far as the can.
al where countermarch was made.
The parade in addition to Mill street
took in Lower Mulberry street. Ferry
and Center streets

Stones Arrive for New Bridge.

Two car loads of stone for the sub.
structure OF the river bridge arrived
at South Danville yesterday aud are
being unloaded. The stone are from
Ourwensville, Clearfieid county. They
are dressed and ready to be laid In
place in the pier or abutment. 4
In very few days time the founda.
tion for both pier and abu tment will
be ready and the mason work will be-
gin.
The timbers for another crane, the
third thus far erected, yesterday were
taken out to the second pier. where
the crane will be set up today or to.
morrow.
The operation of the large steam
crane in razing the abutment proves
an interesting sight and is watched BY
a good many people during the day
from the approach to the old bridge
which is the only point of vantage Il
be found.
The false work under the old bridg'
will be completed today and by th'
end of the week there will be little
left Of the southern span.

Burden Falls on Ferry Street.

Busmen. drivers of delivery wagons
and others are experiencing a hard
time of it at present with both Mill
street and Church street cut off from
travel. Ferry street has become a busy
thorouRhfaro, as 1t is the only ave-
nue. west of Railroad street open be-
tween the north and south sides of
town. Including Railroad street there
are only two cross streets open and in
order to drive to any advantage a per.

couraging feature about it is that the

IMMIGRANTS FOR GEORGIA.

AS pointed out in local articles in
the Morning News the Legislature,
soon after it's meeting this week, will
listen to an address by United States
Immigration Commissioner, Hon. F..
P. Sargent. Doubtless it is the pur-
pose of Mr.. Sargent to interest this
state and other states of the South in
the immigrants that are now coming
into the country in such great num-
bers.
OF course it is predetermined as to
the course the Legislature will take in
the matter. At the present time, ow-
ing to the cut rates of transportation
companies, the immigrants that are
arriving at New York are not the kind
that would be helpful to the South.
They have no money with which to
purchase land and they have no in
clination to work in the fields. Some
of them might find employment in fac
tories, but If the factory managers
wanted them agents would be sent to
New York for them. We assume,
therefore, that the factories have all
the help they need at this time.
The class of immigrants the South
wants are those who settle upon the
lands and open up farms. They are
the kind of immigrants that have done
so much to make the West what it is.
There are tens of thousands Of them
i'm that section who came to this coun-
try with a little money and who now
own valuable farms.
Here in the South there are millions
of acres, that can be had for a dollar
or two an acre, that will yield good
crops. Thrifty and energetic immi-
grants with a little capital could cas-
lily make themselves comfortable
homes on them, and, that too, within
a very few years. 1t wouldn't take
them long to become acquainted with
the kind of crops that can be pro-
duced or to learn how to get the best
results from them.
There is room here in Chatham
county for a thousand or more small
farmers, and the advantage this coun-
ty offers farmers. particularly those
who confne their farming operations
to the raising of vegetables, chickens,
hogs and cattle and the production OF
eggs is a home market Hundreds Of
thousands of dollars are sent away
from this city every year for food
products which ought to be produced
in this county.
1t seems to us that II would be a
good thing for the county and city au-
thorities to make a special effort to
get settlers for the unoccupied lands of
the county. The lands are drained
now, and if they were all put under
cultivation their taxable value would
be increased a million of dollars or
more.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-06-20
FERTILIZER IN TABLOID FORM.

The day may not be very far dis
tant when the farmer, instead of send
ing wagons to the depot to haul tons
Of guano to sprinkle over his land,
will call up somebody on his long-dis-
tance telephone and say something like
this: II would be glad to have you
send me, by rural free delivery, next
mail, half-dollar's worth of those fer
tility-germ tablets; I want to fertilize
twenty-five acres this week" If prom
Uses that are being made prove true
and there is no telling what marvellous
things science will give us during the
next few years-such conversations
will not be at all uncommon. And the
germ tablets will each be expected to
give better results than are ordinari-
ly obtained from the use of several
hudred pounds of commercial fertili-
ger.
All this may sound visionary but
no less an authority than the United
States Department of Agriculture says
that it isn't any such thing. Every
farmer knows that the principal plant
food is nitrogen, and that the nitro
gen extracted from the soil by growing
plants must be replaced by some means
or other If the next succeeding crop
is to be a success. There is an abund-
ance of nitrogen in the atmosphere, If
the plants only had the power to ex-
tract and make use of it in sufficient
quantities. Some plants, indeed. have
this power in high degree. Clover
for instance, improves the land on
which It is planted, as do also peas
beans and alfalfa. Scientists have dis
covered that on the roots of clover,
peas, etc, there are certain bacteria
tubercles, or germs, which draw the
nitrogen from the air and apply 1t to
the growth of the plant. This hint
has been acted upon. and the scientists
of the Agricultural Department have
succeeded in cultivating these nitro
concentrating germs and putting them
up in tabloid form, so that they can
be used in inoculating the soil.
The little cake of germs, costing
about cents, is dissolved in a barrel
of water. In this water the seeds to be
planted are soaked. They are then
planted, and the germs do the rest.
1t is said that seed so planted will
grow vigorously and bear bountifully
if planted even in gravel or pebbles,
the germs supplying them with all the
plant food needed. One germ-cake will
fertilize seed enough for one to four
acres, according to the Boston Globe.
That being true, there need be no
such thing in the country as sterile
land. The departments further exper-
iments and announcements will be
| awaited with interest.

4sNFaarifnh- River.

The late Maxwell Sommerville of the
University of Pennsylvania spent near
ly forty years of his life in Oriental
travel and study, says an exchange.
Prof. Sommerville used sometimes to
narrate the strange error that was
once made by a French explorer he
had known.
This explorer had made a journey to
Kairwan and had drawn a map of the
country he passed through. The singu-
lar thing about this map was that the
name ''Maarifsh" appeared so many
times on it. A river would be the
"Maarifsh rivera mountain would be
Mount Maarifsh," village. a lake, a
valley--each would be called "Maa-
IRISH"
When Prof. Sommerville saw this
map he laughed.
Don't you know" he said to the
traveller, what 'maarifsh' means in
Arabic?"
NO said the other. what does it
mean?"
sit means, Don't know"
