The Official Resignation.

The communication through which
Messrs Sweeney and Quinn oficiaily
made known their intention to resign
was as follows:
ITO the board of directors of the
State Life Insurance company:
Gentlemen: We the undersigned
hereby tender our resignation as pres
ident and <ce president respectively
of the State Life Insurance company,
the same to take effect Immediately.
This step is taken because OF the fact
that during the investigation OF the
business and management OF the
company now in progress evidence
was introduced tending to show that
commissions OF considerable sums
were paid TO each of us at the time
of the purchase by the company OF
the Stevenson building. We respect
fully request that the board OF dlrec-
tors cause action to be brought TO
recover the money that is said TO
have been paid to us. In order that
the charge may be investigated by a
judicial tribunal before which witnes-
ses may be brought by compulsion
and the depositions of absent witnes-

the administration of justice observed.
Pending the result of such action we
wish to relieve the policy holders and
management of any embarrassment
which might result on account of our
relations with the company.

Investigation TO Continue.
James w. Noel, who has been con-

changes would have on the exanlina

COAST LINE TO TRY NEW PLAN
BETWEEN BRUNSWICK
AND ALBANY.
As RESULT !, OF THE STRIKE


1t is more than probable that it
viii now be necessary for the Aslan-
tic Coast Line to hereafter opbrate
lis trains between Brunswick vand
Albany without the service Of it's
telegraph stations. as these stations
are to be cut out at once. as was am
uounced in The News yesterday
Ehe item to that effect yesterday
q Sised considerable discussion and
n kse not familiar with the operation
~ a railroad wondered how the trains
could be operated without the tele-
graph stations, but from those well
posted on the subject it was stated
that it would be an easy matter 10
operate trains without the telegraph
stations.
1t viii be remembered that when
the strike was first inaugurated the
Georgia railroad at once decided to
cut out the telegraph offices, owing
to the fact that there was some uoub-
lie with the operators Trains over
that road are still being operated
without the use OF telegraph Offices
and not an accident has yet been re-
por,ed on the road
All trains over the line were or
Grated as usual yesterday, as the sta
tions have not yet been cut out, but
1t is expected that within a few days
the linemen win finish their work,
and there viii not be telegraph
station between Brunswick and Al
bany, except at Waycross and Tit-
ton.
Railroad men state that it win only
be necessary for all trains to run on
their schedule, with no extras out. In
case of an accident other trains can
be notified, ana in this way it is ex-
pected that the service viii be as
good as with the stations.
1t is stated that certain operators
at these small stations have greatly
interfered with commercial business
Of late and have used much profanity
over the wire for the benefit Of the
lady operators. This occurred to a
great extent Thursday and Friday
v hfch caused the Western Union to
order out all Of the stations cut out.

LEAF BLIGHT:
It Frequently Causes Much Damage TO
q Tho Strawberry Crop.

Strawberry leaf blight frequently
causes great damage to the straw
berry crop. as explained by grower
In Rgral New Yorker, who says that
1t makes It's appearance about the
time the fruit sets and begins its de-
structiye ravages as the, berries begin
to ripen. 1t first manifests itself by
turning the leaves a brownish red; 1t
will then attack the fruit stems and
hulls, cutting off the supply Of hourish-
ment from the berries; the calyx be-
gins to wither and dry up, and the
berries become soft and insipid and are
of little value. s.
As the Berry Season Advances.
1t usually grows more destructive as
the berry season advances The condi-
tons conducive to the development Of
, the disease appear to be a. general
weakness of the plants. This may be
brought about from Various causes,
such az old and wornout beds, Inn
poyerished soil, plants with a heavy
set Of fruit with insufficient nourish-
ment. plants exposed during winter
without protection or unmulched beds
during hot dry weather. Any one Of
these conditions will have tendency
to weaken the constitution of the
plants. making them an easy prey to
rust, blight and other diseases.
Kinds Susceptible to Blight.
During the time we have been en-
gagged In growing strawberries we
have found some varieties SO consti-
tutionally strong in their vegetative
parts and 80 vigorous in their fruit
organs that they will do well almost
anywhere, while other sorts arc con-
stitutionally weak In foliage, yet
strong In fruit bearing propensities.
They set a great quantity Of berries
with little or no vitality to mature the
fruit. Such varieties are very suscept-
ible to blight and should not be culti-
waited except by those who are well
acquainted with their natural require
ments. 1t requires healthy, vigorous
foliage to digest the various plant
foods found in the different soils. and
probably the safest method of protect
Ing the plants from blight and other
fungous diseases is to conserve mois-
ture by thorough cultivation while the
plants are growing, projecting them
we'll during the winter with q liberal
mulch of horse manure. This material
II left on the plant during the summer
prevents the escape of moisture at q
time 1t is most needed, and 1t keeps
the soil GOBLIN fact, 1t is to the bear
Ing bed what the cultivation is to the
, newly planted field.

Rough Feeds.

Rough feeds including pasture, are
usually so plentiful that frequently we
feed them without any idea as to what
and how much will produce the de-
sired results. Much rough feed is
wasted In careless feeding. The COW
will eat the best OF her menu first and
II given too much will pick the most
desirable morsels, leaving what might
be called passably good, which too
frequently is treated as waste and
thrown underfoot No more hay should
be given an animal than it will eat up
clean. This refers to first class quail
ty, however, as we could not expect a
COW to eat up clean poor quality OF
hay.

he got down the bottle of paste, cut
some paper for labels and then went
hunting about for various bottles. He
found score Of them. They were
mostly remedies he had brought home.
From some he had taken two or three
doses, and some Of the bottles were
half empty. There were old packages
OF epson and rochelle salts and of
b.earbonate OF soda, and he was two
hours labelling and arranging them. He
had just little more to do when Mrs.

mused:
