Yellow MeliIotus.

A Montgomery County correspondent sends a specimen to be identified and asks how this plant compares in value with Johnson grass.
 Your letter with specimen has been received. The plant is the yellow va riety of meliltous orf sweet clover (Melilotus off1cials.) In chemical composition this is quite similar to white melilotus, and quite superior to Johnson grass, but the presence of a bitter principle in both kinds of meli- lotus, which is strongest in the yellow kind. reduces their palatability and probably makes the yellow kind much less valuable for feeding than chemi- cal analysis would indicate. Moreover, it can be cut only once, instead of af- fording several cuttings like Johnson grass or the white variety of melilotus Yellow sweet clover gives a bitter taste to milk and butter. The plant grows wild on quite a number of farms and roadsides throughout the central prairie region of Alabama. consider it as somewhat useful for the improve ment of the soil and early spring pas ture but of far less value in other re- spects than white sweet clover, so called, throughout the prairie region.

Nitrate of Soda for cotton.

Replying to your recent letter, would say that the usual amount of ni- trate of. soda that can advantagcously be applied to cotton after it comes up Is sixty to 100 pounds This should be applied in a line about six inches to one side of each row. It can be drop ped upon the surface of the ground, preferably just in advance of cultiva- tion. It easily spreads through the earth by absorption and hence does not need deep covering. We usually distribute it by hand. taking care to pulverize all Jumps very carefully have known it to be distributed through a cotton planter or fertilizer distributor, run six or eight inches from the row. It can properly be ap- piled from the time that cotton Is chopped until it is about ten inches high. l prefer to apply it rather early, unless the soil is deep sand bed, very subject to teaching.

| UNDERGROUND SEWERS
FOR NEW ORLEANS
Modern Sanitary System Now
In Operation.
BUSINESS SECTION INCLUDED
System Was Put In Operation Thurs
day Night, and 1t Marks the End of
Cess Pools In the Crescent City.
Force Pumps Will Be Used.

New Orleans, Oct. 12.-For the
first time since this city was founded,
1SS years ago, a modern sanitary and
underground sewage system was put
into operation Thursday night. The
pipes connected are part Of $24,-
100000 sewage, drainage and water
system, building of which began eight
years ago.
In an area measuring 25 blocks by
AZ, including the principal business
section of New Orleans, Thursday
nights connection marks the end of
cess pools and of portable vaults in
business houses, which have for many
years been danger to public health.
1t marks also the end In the near fu-
ture of the deep cutters at each side
of the streets, through which water
flows almost continuously, and which
have been a distinctive feature of this
semi-tropical city. 1t will be many
months before complete connections
can be made with the pipes opened
Thursday night.
By means of force pumps the con-
nections of these pipes are emptied
into the Mississippi river, approx
mately 25 feet below mean water
level The fact that the river an
nually rises above the city's street
level made an underground sewage
system impossible until the force
pump was resorted to. Pumps are
also used for the drainage pipes, which
are separate from the sewage and are
intended principally to carry off the
water from torrential rainfalls. These
latter pipes empty into Lake Ponchar-
train.

DEADLOCK BROKEN
IN FIRST DISTRICT
Attorney Proves to be Lucky
Man.
BROTHER HEADED WINNING BOLT
5rannen Forces Put Edwards In Nom
nation as a Final Resort In Order
to Keep the Prize From Going to a
Sheppard Man.

Savannah, Ga, Oct. 12.-At 11:45
o'clock Thursday the deadlock of the
First district convention was broken,
when Charles G. Edwards of Savan.
nah received 21 votes and Floyd
Scales of Waynesboro received 15.
This was on the eight hundred and
first ballot, after AZ days of delibera-
tion.
The nomination came at a time
when it seemed impossible for the
convention to reach a conclusion, and
his nomination was due to the pres
ence of his brother, Robert Edwards,
on the Tatnau county delegation, who
bolted when the name of his brother
was placed in nomination.
1t was freely predicted during the
afternoon, especially after there had
been a split in a county delegation
on each side, that there would be a
nomination, and many knew that as
final resort the Brannen forces
would place Mr.. Edwards in nomina-
ton
Mr.. Edwards is 30 years old and an
attorney.
Thursday morning, when the CON
vention reconvened, E. K. Overstreet,
for the Brannen delegation, announced
that, after a conference, it had been
decided not to vote for Mr.. Charlton,
who had been selected by the Shep-
pard men. He put his objections, in
his opening remarks, largely upon the
ground that the Brannen conferees had
not been treated with the proper cour-
tesy by the Sheppard delegation in
selecting Mr. Charlton as the man to
break the deadlock.
The Sheppard delegates came back
With d counter proposition, in the ma
ture of the nomination of Judge r. j.

TIE Sheppard delegation continued
to vote for Mir. Chall on and several
frutess ballots OF tae CAarlton-Wil-
Hams tenor were taken.
The meeting was marked by some
heated vocal passages. between the
two delegations.
Thursday afternoon there was an
other session, but nothing was accom-
plished The fight between Charlton
and Williams was still on. The con-
ventiOn had resolved itself into bat
tie ground between the two rival po-
litical factions of Savannah, the Peo-
pies Democratic league and the Cit
izens' club.
The Sheppard delegates declared
they would never support a Citizens
club man, while the Brannen dele
gates declared they would never sup
port a Peoples league man.
