"Rodney's Ride"


~o-~~~~~~-~~~~~~
"Rodney's Ride"
In that soft midland where the breezes
bear
The North and the South on the genial
air,
Through the County of Kent on affairs
Of State
Rode Caesar Rodney, the Delegate.
Burly and big and bold and bluff,
In his three-cornered hat and his coat of
snuff,
A foe to King George and the English
state
Was Caesar Rodney, the Delegate.
Into Dover Village he rode apace,
And his kinsfolk knew, from his anxious
face,
1t was matter grave that had brought
him there,
To the counties three, upon the Delaware.
Money and men we must have" he
said,
"Or the Congress fails and our cause is
dead;
Give us both, and the king shall not work
his will
We are Men since the blood Of Bunker
Hinw
Comes a rider swift on a painting bay;
"Hollo, Rodney, hol you must save the
day,
For the Congress halts at q deed 90
great,
And your vote alone may decide its fate "
Answered Rodney then II will ride with
speed;
1t Is Liberty's stress, It 10 Freedoms
need.
When stands tit" Tonight; not a mo.
ment spare,
ware"
"Ho, saddle the black! I've but half a
day,
And the Congress sits eighty miles away,
But I'll be in time, If God grants me
grace,
To shake my fist in King Georges face
He is up; he is Off And the black horse
flies
On the northward road ere the "God-
speed |" dies.
1t is gallop and spur, as the leagues
they clear,
And the clustering milestonss move O.

1t is two Of the clock and the feet hoofa
fling
The Feldsboro' dust with q clang and
cling.
1t is three; and he gallops with slack
rein where
The road winds down to the Delaware.
-Four; and he spurs into Newcastle town
From his painting steed he gets him
down
"A fresh one, quick not a moment walt r
And of speeds Rodney, the Delegate.
1t Is FIVE; and the beams Of the western
sun
Tinge the spires of Wilmington gold and
dun;
Six; and the dust Of the Chester street
Flies back In a cloud from his courser'l
feet.
It Is seven the horseboat, broad Of beam
At the Schuylkill ferry crawls over the
stream
And at SEVENTEEN by the Rittenhousa
clock
He filings his rein to the tavern Jock.
The Congress Is met the debates begun
And Liberty lags for the vote of one
When into the hall, not a moment late,
Walks Caesar Rodney, the Delegate.
Not a moment late, and that halliday
ride
Forwards the world with q mighty stride
For the Act was passed ere the mid
night stroke
Ger the Quaker City its echoes woke.
At Tyranny's feet was the gauntlet flung

And the sons Of the free may recall with

 Does this section justify the proposition that the railroads beginning and ending in Alabama should not be allowed to pay theiY stockholders an annual dividend of two per cent?
 In closing. I wish to call your attention to the fact that the railroads have done much to make Alabama what it is today. There is not an industrial plant in the State whose engines are not propelled by the pow CT of coal that is brought to them by the railroads, and there is not coal mine in the state that could live hut for the aid or these transporters of freight.
 It is the railroads that have converted town on the Alabama river into the oeau- tiful city of Montgomery, and made IL a great distributing point. It is the railroaos that give to every village in every county of the state many of the advantages or city life By the aid of the railroads certain n lands in Jefferson County that were o@lu @ fields on which lonesome log cabins nav been converted as If by magic, into great industrial metropolis

Tides of the ocean.

New fofK Herald.
 Of all the operations of nature in the whole world there are none more regular in their courses than the tides of the ocean. So perfect is their &C., tion and so constant are they in their ebb and flow that the big maritime governments are able to figure out the height of each and every tide for ev- cry day and night more than year in advance for any part of the earth's surface.
 In most places the tides run about four to twenty-four hours--two being flood when the water sweeps in from the sea and makes what Is known as high water. and two being ebb, when 1t sweeps back to the ocean, leaving low water
 Each of these tides lasts about six hours. that Is. for five hours or more the waters are on the move, rushing in or out, and they cease for time. standing quite still in some places.
 Sometimes a tide will run flood on the surface, while 1t Is running ebo below. near the bottom. Places where this happens are always likely to make danger spots for the mariner.
 In the majority of cases the tides rise and fall only a few feet. but on shores where the banks are very steep falling off abruptly into deep water 1t often happens that the tide when h rises comes in so fast that 1t pourS through all narrow openings in cas- cade-like torrents. making sucn things as the famous "bores." whicf may be seen in places like the Bay ot Funday.

In the statement before me, the az gregate amount of capital stock rep resented by twelve of the leading rail- roads. doing business ,ns in otn ths Soo state; is In round numbers $396.O0O,OoO. and tho total bonded indebtedness of these same roads is in round numbers, $65S, :, 900 900. That Is for every $1.00n of capital stock, there Is over S1,5O0 of bonded indebtedness.
 The roads are built and equipped to a large extent on borrowed money. But for this borrowed money. we would not have some of the railroads now. or would not have them in their pres ent condition. Senators on the other side may say there has been divi, dend declared by the roads on preferred stock. This is true as to some of the roads. but it does not change the Force of my argument. It is true on some of the roads there is a dividend of four per cent or five per cent on pre- ferred' stock. understand that the term preferred" stock means, some stock. that by reason of contract or some other circumstance. is allowed as a sort of prior lien on the earnings of the road.

The winter months could be profit
ably employed in hauling leaves and
woods mold and mixing it with the
manure made on the place so as to
make a compost for the land. Of
course this presupposes some animals
kept on the place Such a compost
will go far towards. supplying the
plant food that is ordinarily purchas-
ed in the form of mixed fertilizers.
Six or eight loads of this compost
worked in we'll every two years to-
gether with the use of 900 pounds of
acid phosphate and $50 pounds Of
kainit will partially solve the problem.
I need not mention that cowpeas
should be planted in the corn and at
ter the small grains
1t should not be forgotten that
deep blowing will add much to value
of the compost to the land. When
deep soil is made by blowing deep

roots feed deeper and are not in
huenced so greatly by the drouth dur

High Price of Fertilizers.

The following article was written,
for the Progressive Farmer, by Prof.
c. M. Conner, formerly Of the Florida
Agricultural Experiment Station, but
now of North Caro1ina
The general increase in price of
fertilizers is caused by a number of
conditions. The scarcity of labor in
the mines and the demands made by
the arts has caused a steady advance
in the price of nitrate of soda The
price had about reached the top notch
when the Gillian earthquake caused
another advance of about S. a ton
The disturbance in the meat packing
district caused falling off of the
number of animals slaughtered, hence
a decrease in the amount of blood and
bone to be used as fertilizer and an
advance in price The demand for
cottonseed meal by foreign countries
and high price of labor has caused
cottonseed meal to advance beyond
the price of former years. Phosphate
rock is becoming scarce and the price
is advancing There seems no pros
pect of the price dropping soon. It
is evident that under the present con-
ditions the farmer must grow more
cowpeas and clover to supply the am
monia to their crops, and study more
