Columbus, Ga, July s.--tSpeciaL)-- An electric storm of unusual severity prevailed in Columbus late last night, as a result of which inside electric lights in the business districts were extinguished and power currents were shut on, resulting In serious fnconve- niences to the two local daily news papers.
 Candles were procured and for quite while reporters and editors prepared copy in the good old-fashioned way.

 Local manufacturers are co-operats ing with members of the Board of Truss tees of the Columbus public schools iE securing the equipment for the new secondary industrial school. which will be opened October 1. The equipment will be quite expensive. that for tha textile department alone costing si0.- 900. The local Textile Manufacturers' Association has agreed to make an earnest effort to have this equipment donated by manufacturers of machin- cry. The local hardware men have agreed to secure donations of tools from manufacturers for the school. Only the best tools will be used in the sev- eral departments of the school The lron-workinR and wood working inter- ests of Columbus will render all the as- sistance in their power in securing equipment sor the forge. foundry and woodworking departments of the school. One committee has in charge the securing of equipment for the do- nestle science, millinery. sewing anl commercial work department Still another committee Is Investigating the matter of equipment for the laboratoryt and the general furnishing of the building. The committees have met ai< most daily for the past week, couferS ring with various bodies of local man< ufacturers, and 1t was the busiest week in the history of the Columbus School Board.
 In the conferences the manufacture CTS have given their heartiest approval. to the new industrial school.

ton production was relieved by the de- velopment of mechanical industries In | the fourth decade the South made no more cotton than 1t did in the third, but the price went up to 12 cents in- stead of 6. Therefore we got $500, ,0oo.- : 100000 for our 10.000.0O0 bales of cot | ton instead of $500. .000. 900. This gave us capital of $300.o00.0 900 annually out of cotton alone. besides the $10o.- o00.e00 which we got for cotton seed products. which were formerly wasted. The cotton mills seem to stand out conspicuous among our factory inter- ests As a matter of fact. while cot
 ton manufacture Is the largest industry in the Piedmont region. 1t Is far from being all important. The most unique industry we hayc came like Topsy did, 1t just grew" Cotton seed supplies
 sn oil as wholesome and as palatabie as that made by crushing olives. This industry, evolved out of the local cli- mate and sell without any suggestion
 or guidance from elsewhere, has be- come one of the greatest value. The
 business has grown to such a magni-
 tude that the prices of lard, butter.
 olive oil and other greases have a dis tinct relation to 1t. It furnishes sup the market for other oils steady
 The lardmakers of Chicago and other packing house cities In the west take 750.e0e barrels annually for the adulteration of other food products: !: 50o.o00 barrels go to Marseilles and Trieste to be refined and sold as olive oil. soo,0o0 barrels go to Holland to. make butter. s0,000 barrels go to the coast of Maine to pack sardines. The inferior grades are used for cutting threads in pipes and bolts; much of 1t is frozen and the liquid winter oil is pressed out for use in the lamps of miners.
 We have twenty cotton mills and three cotton seed mills in Charlotte. The latter give the railroads ten times
 the freight that the cotton mills do. They consume about $50 tons of seed per day. After the oil hes been pressed out the meal Is valuable as feed for cattle, both for milk. butter and beef. Many cattle arc now fattened for the market at the oil mills. the nulls and the meal furnishing all the food ttat is necessary. The meal is also very valuable as fertilizer, being partic- ularly rich in ammonia and IS ono of the most convenient forms in which nitrogen can be bought for fert'iizins purposes.

Late FertIIIzing of Sugar Cane-Steam
 Outfit for Syrup-MalZinR.

The following is In reply to a re- quest for a fertilizer formula for late application to sugar cane:
 Your recent letter is at hand. Fer tilizer applied this late to sugar cane is not so effective as if applied earlier and nitrogenous fertilizers now applied in large amounts would delay matur- ing. However. it will probably be safe for you to apply at once not exceeding 100 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre and fifty pounds of sulphate or mHriate of potash. together with 200 pounds of acid phosphate If the land is fairly good and if some fertilizer was applied at time of planting I doubt that the application early in July of either phosphate or potash would be profit able. but the late application of nitrate of soda would certainly increase the yield and in the small amount recom- mended. 1t would not materially delay the ripering of the cane. Of course In your part of the State, early maturity Is specially important.
 Prof. Ross tells me that you can make an outfit for evaporating syrup by the use of steam much more cheap Iy than you can buy it. going by direc- lions in Alabama Experiment Station Bulletin No 13S, J. F. D.

When many spots are present any treatment thus far tried Is impracticabie. so that the alfalfa must be plowed under and after year or two the land reseeded with alfalfa seed free from dodder seed. It is almost impossible to get a dealer to guarantee his seed free from this pest but in some samples of alfalfa seed there is little or no dodder. I suggest that you correspond with seed dealers on this point !. ED.

Two Farms Stolen
By Erratic River


Omaha, Neb., March 21.-The peeu-
liar manner in which the cratic Mis-
souri, river eats up fortunes in day and
carries the work of a lifetime away,
has been exemplifed again near Omaha.
In 1868 Samuel j. Belville of Her
man, Neb., then IL years old, and his
father, came to Omaha. Soon after
their arrival real estate agent tried, in
vain, to induce the elder Belville to in
vest in city property. The prospects
werebn then alluring, and the Bel
viHes, who=wanted a farm, declared that
the city WIS no place in which to bring
up children. fs.-.
| Atjthisapoint In the discussion the
boy, Sam, pulled out his silver watch
and looked at it with boyish pride. The
real estate agent saw it and said:
"I5Hstell you what I I'll do, boy. Give
me. that watch and I'll give you this
block of land in exchange. Just hold
it, my boy, as an investment.
But the boy said his watch cost $35,
and he wasn't going to trade it for a
few rods of Nebraska dirt. -. -ss
The family moved to. Burt county,
and the father took up claim. Tween

! the claim until it was valued at $4,000.
Then one spring the tickle Missouri, all

just far enough to sweep away the Bel
vile homestead. 80
In the meantime, the son had grown
to manhood and also owned a farm.
This also has just been wiped out by the
river, the two changes in which have

always will stand apart, no doubt, as
ado the Sikhs among the Indian forces.
The question Of stability has an
swered itself in "a highly satisfactory
way. In the first y ear assertions were
frequent; but the system was so new
and the discipline SO meager that the
figures could not be relied upon as a
test. In the second year the total of
desertions was only eighty-four, or
something over 1 per cent, and in more
than half the provinces there was none
to record. As the general lawlessness
has decreased and the country has set,
tied down, there has been more time
available for discipline and drill, and
the decrease in desertion has been
steady. This is exactly as was expected,
and the morale Of the soldiers is such
that no fears are entertained for the
future. Moreover, the information di.
vision has been placed upon solid
and efficient working basis, and may be
relied upon increasingly in the future
to ferret out conspiracies and thwart
any insurrectionary attempt to con.
taminate or unsettle the rank and file
Time may bring us our mutiny as it did
in India, but If SO, it will be because
the present efficient plan ceases to be
kept actively in force. .Sis =
