Crop Rotation and Root-Aphis.


From the fact that In the midst OF
the corn belt, and where the root-aphfs
Is known to prove destructive under
certain conditions, almost complete i'm
munity is secured where a system Of
crop rotation has been carried out for
many years, involving but one corn
crop in the cycle of rotation, it is self
evident that this measure offers the
greatest protection from the ravages Of
this pest, says government report
Indeed, II is only where such a sys-
tenn of crop rotation is not practicable
that the root-aphis need be considered
in farm practice. To the eastward,
where there Is more general rotation
of crops, this pest does but little in
jury.
Unfortunately, local conditions, often
extending over large sections of coun-
try, will not permit of crop rotation
being generally adopted. and some 9th
er plan more feasible must be put into
practice Two other methods may be
followed One of these is practicable
throughout the corn-growing section of
the country in seasons of not more
than normal precipitation during the
time intervening between the first
plowlng of the ground and the first
cultivation of the young corn. The 9th
er is perhaps best adapted to the south
ern portion of the country on account
of the milder winters.

The Art Of INTRODUCTION.

There are few people who have not
suffered at one time or another by the
offhand manner in which they were In
troduced to others.
This kind Of introduction is likely to
embarrass some people. just as the
careful and gracious introduction is
one Of the essentials In putting stran-
gers at ease. In introducing people,

When She Wrote PLAY.

Miss Crothers, the new playwright,
who is. by the way, the daughter of an
Illinois physician, began by writing
plays for her Sunday school class.
Something else saw uneonsciousiy
then," she said, "and clearly now.
There must be, away down deep at the
bottom Of the play, the distinction be-
tween good and bad. Don't think |
mean that the play must point moral.
but the inevitable must be there, and
the inevitable must be moral"

WAS VICTIM OF A
FORGERY SYSTEM

MT. PLEASANT, Tenn, July 3d.
Joe Jones, a groceryman of this place,
has just discovered that for several
days he has been the victim of petty
forgeries. Long & Craig, phosphate
contractors, have arrangements with
Jones to cash all their orders. Sat
urday they called at Jones store to
settle for the weeks orders, when it
was discovered that Jones had ac-
cepted forged orders to the amount
of STATS. The matter was kept quiet
until Saturday night, when John Chap
pie, negro miner, presented an or
der for $2.75, signed by Long & Craig,
by ]. o. Terry. Jones had the negro
arrested and Terry was sent for. He
denied the signature and said he
knew nothing about the order. Chap
pie can neither read or write and it
Is evident that he had a confederate.
The officers are now trying to find
aim.

PROHIBITION
FOR GEORGIA
HOUSE PASSES LAW COVERING
ENTIRE STATE BY LARGE
MAJORITY.

| ATLANTA, Ga, July 3O.-By the
overwhelming majority of 13s to 80
the house tonight passed the famous
Hardman-COvington prohibition bill,
which in effect makes Georgia abso-
lutely dry after January next.
Throughout the day the prohibition
lists stood solid. No concession was
granted their opponents and it was an
absolute and decisive prohibition vic
tory.
The bill now goes back to the SEN
ate for concurrence in the house
amendment giving the privilege to
druggists to keep pure alcohol for
medicinal preparations. Then comes
the governors signature which, it is
claimed, is assured.
Immediately on converting this
morning the prohibition measure was
read the third time in the house and
the reception of amendments was be-
gun. Fifteen amendments were offered
anu uSpdtOu lhiOuSh the udy anu dt
4;30 this afternoon they were put to
vote. BY o'clock all amendments
had been disposed of and the main bill
was passed.
The scenes today were in striking
contrast to those enacted last We'd
nesday when the measure was up for
passage. Then, before most densely
packed galleries the majority of spec
tators being ladies, the friends and
opponents waged fierce battle for SUI
premacy, the latter executing one OF
the most successfully organized and
sensational filibusters in the history
of legislature, which eventually cul-
in an outburst from the gal
leries that necessitated police re-
to quell it, and later in fisti-
cuff between two of the most promi-
nent members, followed by precipi-
tate adjournment.
To-day, however, the proceedings
were marked by calm deliberation and
strict enforcement of the rules.
The bill is, perhaps, one of the most
radical in character ever passed by
legislative body. 1t prohibits absolute
y the sale of intoxicants within the
borders of the state. Tonight prohi-
,itionists are celebrating the momen-
GUS event with thanksgiving services
n churches, street demonstrations
md otherwise.
Representative Seaborn Wright,
eader of the prohibition forces of the
louse, received a thunderous ovation
vhen he left the capitol tonight. He
vas lifted to the shoulders of enthus-
astic admirers and borne in triumph
through the streets of the city.

A FLATTERING
OFFER
Mr.. J. M. DEDMAN OFFERED THE
MANAGEMENT OF A LARGE
NEW YORK HOTEL.

Mr.. ]. M. Dedman has received a
proposition from a corporation in
New York, offering him the manage
ment of the Hotel Belleclaire, stu
ated on the corner of Broadway and
18th streets. This is one of the larg-
est and best equipped hotels in New
York City, and is strictly the South

tropolis. Mr.. Dedman stated to a
Herald man today that he had not
considered the proposition very seri-
ously and would not do SO until after
he had returned from his camping
trip, and that then he would probably
go to New York and look more fully
into the matter.

LORD NELSON'S HARD JOB.

A number of the English Dukes have
little annual jobs to do to keep their
titles clear. The Duke of Wellington
had to send miniature reproductions

has to do the same on the anniversary
of the battle of Blenheim, and the
Duke OF Hamilton has to send a deer

LETTER FROM
BARRY, TEXAS

BARRY, Texas, July I'll was
made glad yesterday in receiving the
Herald with its many items of news.
We have had some very hot days.
and were it not for the nice breezes
IL believe the Texas suns would be
unbearable. The sun and winds will,
without doubt, put good tan On
you. Some of the men look like red
men. Many Of the good women In
this country work in the field. The
farmers say it is almost impossible
to get hands. For this reason, the
wives and daughters take their hoes
and go to the cotton field. People
need not think they can pick up silver
dollars anywhere in Texas without la
Dor. The women have to do their
own cooking and washing and many OF
them go to the field, too.
From my observation this is
harder country on women than men.
The men do the most of their blowing
with riding plows and this can be
done by a lazy man. This part OF
Navaras county is the most beautiful
farming country | have seen since ]
have been in the State.
It is level, black and rich and has
a fine crop of corn and cotton growing
on it. The people are kind, courteous
and liberal.
Texas. like other states, is not q
perfect paradise. There are many
unpleasant things here as well as else
where. l do not enjoy the winds and
the storms and the black mud that
sticks like wax, and some times you
will find water almost like medicine.
But some time we over draw the pic |
ture. We either make it too dark or
too bright. There are many places
In Tennessee where / would not be
pleased to have home, yet it suits
people who live there. There are
some who think Columbia an undesir-
able place, and would not live there,
out 1t makes a happy home for many.
So the great Creator of the universe
las made all things we'll And we
should make up. our minds to be con-
ent with our lot wherever II may be.
With best wishes for the many read
RS of the Herald, am yours truly,
F. C. SowELL.

THIEVES BURIED
THEIR TREASURE
LOOT FROM A BURNED HOTEL
RECOVERED BY NEW YORK
OFFICERS.

NEW YORK, July 30.-A feature OF
the fire which destroyed the nam.
moth Long Beach Hotel, and in which
nearly a thousand guests were driven
out in scant attire, has developed. In
their hurried fight the guests aband-
oned money. jewelry and valuable
property. and hooters, it appears, were
quick to take advantage of the fact
Detectives who were sent to the scene
arrested three negro walters. The
men were held on a charge OF grand
larceny.
Justice Wallace, who gave the loot
ers a hearing, was informed that
thieves had buried stolen property in
the dunes back of the hotel site, and
he ordered men to make a search.
The amount of property they recov-
cred was surprising. By dark JUS
tice Wallace had in his possession
several trunks full of stun, bags and
satchels and bundles and boxes con-
tanning valuables and a great collec-
ton of all sorts of jeweled combs
and silver-backed toilet articles and
some dresses and suits.

1T RAINED
WHITEWASH
UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE OF
PASSENGERS IN NEW
Works. SUBWAY.

NEW YORK, July 30-Fifteen pas
sengers, generally well dressed were
whitewashed last night while riding
through the Fourth-avenue tunnel in
an open car.
Whitewashers of the tunnel roof
and walls are using a pneumatic
spraying system and as the car in
question came along something went
wrong and the spray was directed to-
ward 1t. The motorman according to
the passengers stupidity stopped his
car. He was drenched. Then he
started the car through the stream
and as it slowly began to move there
was ample time to drench every one
of the passengers.
The angry passengers declared
their white suits would become dam
age suits.

Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 3O.-The
Legislature, at its last session, appro-
priated $4,000 to be expended in the
purchase and furnishing of a Cover
nor's mansion; the bill being intro
duced and championed by the Cover
nOr's especial friends. The Gray res
idence on Vine street, Tor Seventh
Avenue, North,) was purchased for
the purpose, at the cost of $31, 900,
and $2,O35 additional has been spent
to date for furnishing the house. The
legislature, upon request of the Gov
ernor's friends, also appropriated So
500 for the yearly maintenance of
the mansion" This yearly mainte-
nance sum-" the Governor did not
wait to accrue, Or to "expend as need
ed;' or TO expend so much thereof
as may be needed" as the Lawmakers
doubtless contemplated; but, on the
oath of this month raided the treasury
for the full amount; withdrawing, be-
fore the mansion has been occupied
even one short month, the entire
SO, 500 appropriated for it's mainte-
nance for the entire year. There is
no precedent for this transaction, and
the Governor PERCEPTIONS rush for
this maintenance" fund, has pro-
voked considerable adverse criticism.
1t is said that the Governor has dis
cussed with some of his friends the
propriety of returning the money into
the treasury, but was advised that this
would seem to be confession of rash |
Or wrong doing, and that he had bet |
Ter put on a bold front and face the |
music, and he acted upon that advice.
Under Capitol Notes this trans
lction was published at the time, but
vas overlooked by many; but the
talk" now is becoming louder than
he publication was, and promises to
,e louder still.

LUNG BEACH, HOTEL
BURNS TO GROUND
HosTELRY SECOND LARGEST IN
WORLD AND LOSS rs OVER
$1,000, 900.

| NEW YORK, July 29.-The Long
Beach Hotel, the second largest in the
world, was entirely destroyed by IRE
of a mysterious origin early this
morning. A dozen guests and en-
ployes were seriously burned or in
jured by jumping. The property loss,
including much valuable jewelry, will
be more than $1,OOO,OOO.
There was a wild panic among the
six hundred guests when the alarm of
fire rang through the hotel shortly af
ter o'clock. There was a stampede
for the beach in which many promi-
nent New Workers clad in pajamas
and night gowns took part.
Then came perfect rain of trunks
and baggage of all kinds when the
men gained courage to return to that
part of the hotel which was not on
fire. This effort saved little or moth
ing when the wind from the ocean
drove the flames through the entire
length of the hotel. The trunk piles
on the beach took fire, making the loss
complete.
Negro servants of the hotel,
cloaked by the excitement, found OPP
portunity to loot. Many were ar
rested when the sheriff OF the county
arrived and threw Gordon of depu-
ties around the burned hotel.
The fire was discovered at o'clock |
by couple of servant girls ON the |
fourth floor of the motel near the up
per end of the building They raced
down to the office and fell in a dead |
faint. They were quickly revived,
however, and gave the alarm.
That there was not a long list of
dead was due to the fact that the
hotel has long piazza. When es-
cape was cut off the guests ran along
these and found a clear stairway or
4 ladder and got upon the roof be-
ow. 1t took the fire nearly an hour
% eat it's way through. Few of the
guests stopped to dress, but dashed
o the beach, carrying their clothes in
heir hands.
1t was the strangest beach scene
