 "There was never any object under taken by our society that has met with such widespread interest, such loyal sup latter has taken the widest form, in dulged in the most insane abuse, not sparing in any way the women of the Georgia division or the south in gen. eral, and we have answered never a word, but have simply gone and proved our case and mean to establish che truth for ever, when we unvel our monument. campaign of education it has verify been, for l do not believe any of us knew how ignorant we were of the history of that we have been obliged to do in order to give an answer for the faith that was in us."

Andrews and Robinson, the financing and patent direc- tors of the eastern capitalists were in the city today, and report their plans nov ing along nicely The stock arrange ments are now being made through the Citizens Savings bank in Birmingham, and James Bowron, who is looking after this end of the business for Bessemer, will report in a few days. while J. j.. Simpson, the steel expert, who is exam ing the patents, seems to be perfectly satisfied.
 The representatives were shown over the prospective sites this afternoon, and were well pleased with that between the furnaces and the fire brick works, on the Alabama Great Southern railroad. and that at Twelfth avenue and Nineteenth street, on the pipe shops car line and the Louisville and Nashville railroad. However, no place will be chosen until after the company is incorporated, direc- tors elected, and officers chosen, in or der that everyone may be pleased.
 The S25.000 stock which Is to be sub scribed from Bessemer is virtually al- ready taken, as some of the most promi- nent capitalists here are eagerly await ing the report of their committee. The prospect of such a great addition to the citys industrial plants is remarked with pleasure by ali of the merchants, who welcome the increased population which it will bring.

ted barn yard manure direct provided such manure Is to be had, but the great est advantage of the compost heap Is that when our lands are covered With crops so that we cannot get on them to haul out manure we can work the ma nure into the compost heap together with all vegetable matter that would other wise go to waste and thus save up every thing until such time as we can apply this to our soil. The closer we keep our grasses eaten off the more fertilizer our lands or meadows will need, therefore, it would be q good plan to give our grass fields or meadows a top dressing of some good fertilizer every spring. The com- post Is the best for this, provided that enough can be had to answer Bone meal would furnish another good top dressing. or we may use d fertilizer containing 2 per cent nitrogen, 4 per cent potash and from to per cent phosphoric acid. and apply from POO to 1000 pounds per acre.
 In some cases 1t may be a good idea 10 run a good sharp-toothed steel har- row over the grass just before and after applying the fertilizer. There is this. however about growing grass which all beginners should keep in mind: that grasses should be fed as well as other crops. The better the soil the greater will be the yield and the profits in grass farming.

 We hear much said about the great revenues that are derived from other crops, such as wheat and cotton, but hear very little about the enormous sums that crome from our grass crops We call corn king in this country. and if corn is king, we should crown grass queen.
 In the year 1905 the corn crop of this country was worth one and a quarter bil- lion dollars, cotton brought nearly sG00. 600, 000 wheat s525, ,000 while we got nearly or quite two billions of dollars from our grass crops. We had to our credit $665, 900 worth of dairy prod ucts $G62. OO0O00 worth of beef, and $605,- OO0,0O0 worth of hay. These all come largely either directly or indirectly from the grass of our country. and besides this, there was the great amount of grass that was eaten green that was not taken into account at all. Besides this our grass crops are not soil robbers. as are most of our crops, but are soil protectors, and in most cases soil build CTS.
 While we ares making comparisons as to the value of grass and other crops we may give here some facts to show what enormous sums are realized in some sections from grass. We are told that In the vicinity of Edinburgh. Scotland, there are fields of clover which pay as much as $500 per acre. In order to get these heavy returns, the green clover is cut and tied in small bundles. which are sold in the city for from 20 to 25 cents each. Many of the farmers who rent these fields pay an annual rent of $25O per acre.
 While travelling in Mexico l found 1t common practice among the farmers to cut their a1falfa, tie up the green hay in bundles of fifteen pounds each, load these on burros-the beasts of burden in that country-and drive them into the towns where these bundles are sold for 9 cents each. There are many acres of alfalfa which, if cut and sold In this way, would bring ssno provided all the cror

TRIED TO LYNCH HOOE
Pittsburg Mob Attempted t Tear Ne
r to iPeces-Many Women in the
Angry Crowd That Sought Ven
geance On Man Who Confessed to
OBTAINING Mrs. Hartje.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. Sit had been
intended to give Clifford Hooe, negro
correspondent in Augustus Hartje's
divorce suit, a hearing today On the
charge of conspiring with Hartje and
John L. Welshons to defame Mrs.
Hartje, but the gathering of a mot of
500 angry men ond women who want
ed the negro lynched forced the aban-
donment of this plan, and Hooe was
taken back to the county Jail.
AS he was led from the Office of AL
derman F. NJ. King, the mob rushed
forward to get at the man who has
confessed to defaming Mrs. Hartje for
a few hundred dollars, and it took live
ly efforts on the part Of a score of pc
licemen, deputy sheriffs, and detec-
tives to protect the prisoner.
Hooe was taken from the Jail at $50
p. M, and was slipped quietly over to
Aldermen Kings Office on the South
Side. Hartje and Welshons had pre-
viously waived hearings and had
given $4,000 bail for the September
grand jury.
1t was announced at the alderman's
office that there would be no hearing
SO there were no outsiders about when
the prisoner arrived there with the
officers. Five minutes later Carson
street was filled with a shouting,
swerving mob, all anxious to tear the
negro to pieces.
Hooe was so badly frightened he
could not speak. The situation was
rapidly growing critical, so District
Attorney John Robb advised the negro
to waive hearing and go back to Jail.
Hooe, unable to speak for fear, nod
ded his head, and the commitment was
hastily signed.
With their prisoner surrounded, the
officers forced their way through the
growing mob. The crowd pushed for
ward, one woman shouting:
Let me at him! Let me at him!
III scratch his eyes out"
Supporting their prisoner, who was
almost fainting, the officer hurried
him aboard a car and got him to the
Jail and safety.
Augustus Hartje and his friend,
John Welsohns, who, with Clifford
Hooe, the former negro coachman of
Hartje. are charged with conspiracy
in connection with the Hartje divorce
case, appeared before Alderman F. NJ.
King today for a hearing, and, waiv-
ing all procedure, were held for court
under bonds of $4,000 each, which were
furnished by Attorney Edward G. Hart
je, a brother of one of the defendants.
Their arraignment had been post
poned several times owing to the dis
inclination of the commonwealth to
go into the matter until the divorce
case was finished.

THAW is WELL SUPPLIED
Noted Prisoner the Object of Great
Abundance of Food, Due to Circu-
IatiOn of q False Report.

New York, August 9.-Harry K.
today was suddenly an object Of
general and large generosity for food
Ipoured in on the prison authorities for
him for some time. Chicken, roast
beef, steWs, ragouts, soups fish, vege-
tables, pies, buildings and coffee figur-
ed in the list. One order from a Wall
l~street cafe was large enough to have
kept the prisoner in foo supplies for
several days. Moreover, accompany
ling all these eatableS, were knives and
forks. which prisoners charged with
!capital Offenses are not allowed to use
with Their meals. The warden had
difficulty in stopping the stream of
messengers bringing food. The Incl
Ident was due to a epOrt widely cur
trent earlier in the day that ThaW
had quarreled with the prison caterer,
,who has been furnishing hin meals,
and that in consequence. he had break
tasted on ordinary prison fare. The
report had it that the disagreement
was due TO Thaw's insisting on a knife
land fork being supplied with his
meals. Later in the day Thaw's at
,torney, Clifford w. Hartridge. explain
ed that there was no foundation for
the report beyond the fact that Thaw's
caterer had been taken Ill and could
work.
