raR sonArcn oS THE POTATO.

T'nR KoMArCa ov THE POTATO,
Among the most romantic stories of
plant production Is that OF the prosaic
protato. Potatoes are ordinarily pro-
duocd by planting the potato or cut
tings OF IT, 4 potato plant, however,
sometimes produces a seed which may
be planted and may possible Yield q
new variety. About 1850 man named
Goodrich experimental with Wild PERU
Wan and Chile potatoes. He grew cccd-
lings from those plants for a number or
years and finally from them produced
two varieties which were fairly yalu-
able, one of which was known rs the
Garnet chill. In 1860 Mr.. Albert Brcoso
OF Vermont planted some seed OF
Garnet chin plant and one Of the re-
suits was the Early Rose. When this
potato was put on the market It brought
fabulous prices, and II Is stu one or the
most valuable potatoes we have
II was the Early Rose which was the
mother Of the Burbank potato which
was named after Luther Burbank, who
was a schoolboy when he discovered IT,
Young Burbank had heard what Breese

potatoes he saw a seed pod ON one or
the plants. He watched 1t carefully,
thinking he would save the seed and
plant them. The field was near where
he went to school, and he examined
the pods from day 10 day until they
should be ripe. lie vase specially anN-
ious about them, f1r, although such
seeds are often found on other varieties
of potatoes they seldom occur on the
Early Rose one morning when he
looked for the pod he found Il had dis
appeared. His heart fell, but he got
down on his knees and hunted the
field over lie cried over his loss and
went every day for week to the field
looking for this seed pod, lie finally
found II about i6 feet away, hidden un-
der another vine. II had evidently been
knocked of by someone passing rapid
ly. He kept the seed pod and the next
year planted the seed From the plants
which grew he secured the one which
produced the Burbank potato which Is
now known throughout the world.
BURBANK's WONDERFUL DIsCov-
ERIES.
As he grew older Burbank became
still more interested I'm plant produc-
ton. He worked for time In the
shops Of the Ames Pillow company IN
Massachusetts, and there invented I'M
provements In woodworking machinery
which were 80 valuable that his en-
ployers offered to multiply his wages
twenty-five times II he would stay
with them. lie decided however, that
he cared more for plant breeding than
for shop work, and finally went TO Cali
fornia, where he started plant breed
ing farm He has this farm, Just
outside Santa Rosa, Cal, and upon II
has produced some OF the plant wond-
ers of the world. He has produced no
end OF flowers, vegetables and trees, as
well as new varieties of fruits, lie
has married the plum to the apricot,
and got what is known as the plum
cot. He has made a white blackber-
ny, and has taken the common field OK

Eight Slain by a Mob in Georgia.

An Infatuated massed mob of Is or
100 men appeared at the jail in Wat
kinsville, Ga, last Thursday, at 2 a.
M, forced the jailor to surrender the
keys, entered and took from the jail
nine prisoners whom they carried a
short distance from the jail, tied
them to a post, and filled their bodies
with bullets, all except one were dead
and the whereabouts of the mob was
unknown when the sun rose.

A Rural Telephone in Virginia, And
How It Was Installed.

The farmers of Rockingham Co.,
Va, have what is beyond doubt the
best mutual telephone service in the
United States They own and con-
troll it, and get an ~unexcelled service
at just what it costs to give it. 10
tell of this system and it's establish
ment is the purpose of this article
1t reaches some four thousand free
telephones, covering several
ties, and gives long distance connec-
tons to all points. The plan of or
~ganization is purely mutual, and af-
fords the best exempliication of that
idea that / have ever seen. 1t shows
that the theory of mutual organiza-
ton is practical and practicable. 1t
shows that under this plan farmers
can have a good service at half the
cost they would have to exnend in
any other way. In this instance they
have gotten this service at first cost
of less than thirty dollars, and an
annual expenditure of less than five
dollars. To the end that other COM
munities may enjoy similar service,
I write this article.
Some ten years ago the farmers
of this vicinity grew tired of paying
the telephone rates then charged
After several months of agitation the
farmers of the community held a
meeting at which they decided they
would build a line among themselves
and to the county-seat. There were
about thirty of them, and they had
to put up about twelve miles OF
wire. They got busy and did it.
Then they tested all the leading
makes of telephones and adopted
one. Each man had contributed his
share of the labor and material. and
inside of a month they had their line
in operation, at an outlay to each
nan of less than thirty dollars. Then
they issued a prospectus, giving an
outline of the cost involved and the
details of their work, and invited
other communities to build similar
lines to the county-seat and to join
them there in the establishment of an
exchange and iathe- formation of a
general company to bear the same re-
lation to the little community organ
izations that the Federal Govern
ment does to the State Governments.
One by one other communities re-
sponded, until within two years the
old company which had before domi-
mated that territory was driven out
of business and every man who had
a telephone held an equal share in
the company. There was no stock
or anything like that.
l happen to have some copies of
the prospectus and of the constitu-
ton of the company, giving in detail
the plan of organization. and will be
glad to mail a copy to any one who
is really interested in the matter.
We also have a turnpike company
which is simply an organization of
farmers, who have built their own
road. and keep it IN by collecting
enough toll to keep it in repair and
pay a small dividend on their invest
ment. 1t is the best solution of the
good roads question / have seer after
travelling through more than half of
the States. At some future time /
will try to outline this work.

THE REMAINS g

fThe remains of Freight Conductor
n b. Maxwell, who was killed I'M I'M

Toll Gate Friday morning arrived
at Wilsonburg Friday night and
were taken to the home OF Ed Max
well, uncle of the deceased.
The funeral Will take place Sun
day afternoon. Four street cars viii
leave the Maxwell residence at. VIII
sonburg conveying the funeral cor
teee at 1889 o'clock and proceed
from there to the Holy Gross cenle-
terry where interment will occur.
1t is not known exactly how the.
accident in which Maxwell lost his
life occurred no one having VII
messed it.
AT Toll Gate MaXwelPs train took
siding to allow a westbound freight
to pass. After having permitted the
train to pass the ballast train start
ed to back off the siding to the mann
track. Maxwell had evidently been

threw him TO the track. At any
rats the. train ran over him.
When picked up by other menu
5ers of the crew the conductors re-
mains were found to be horribly
mangled. His head and face were
;round into a shapclessi mass and It
would have been impossi BE to iden-
tifv the body The remains were
placed aboard the tram md taken
With it to ParkersbuEg The body
was taken to an undertaking estab-
lishment there and prepared for
burial. Members of the crew who
returned with the train stated that
they believed the conductor sat
down back of his train and through
the noise made by the freight pass
ing failed TO hear his own train un-
ltil it had struck him.
The deceased was aged SO years.
! lie had been in the. service of the
railroad company for about fifteen
wears. He was unmarried. His
steplnother, and his sister, Mrs.
John Sandy, of Parkersburg, sur
yviNe him. He was member of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
and was well known and well liked.
The father of the deceased, ]. T.
Maxwell, whose remains were buried
| in Holy, Gross cemetery, met his
death in the same manner. He was
conductor Of a freight train and was
KILLED under its wheels near Chi
cago.
