ATTACKING A SYSTEM.
It Involves Attacking the Men That
Uphold the System.

II involves Attacking the Men That
Uphold the System.
On every side / hear strange insist
ence upon the fact that it is only the
system that is wrong. hear people
utter the following. extraordinary
words: 1--WE do not attack Individuals
What, in the name of the seven plan
cts, can you attack except individuals?
How can one fight a system? If a sys-
tenn came into this room, what would
you do to it? Would you take gun or
d fencing foil or butterfly net or a
horsewhip or a disinfectant?
A system only exists in the minds Of
men, and if there is very vile system
in the minds of men there must be
something very vile about their minds.
do not say that they may not have
other virtues along with the qualities
that make the bad system. / do not
say that the upholders of any bad sys-
tenn are without any moral merits.
do not say that Italian brigands are
without any moral merits. But, how
ever good or evil may be mingled in
the character Of an Italian brigand,
nobody ever said that in dealing with
persons of that profession you were
not to attack individuals.
You do not, in dealing with brigands,
say that YOU merely attack the system.
You attack the brigands that Is, sup
posing that you are in possession Of
the adequate bodily courage.-C. K.
Chesterton in Illustrated London News.

A Magnificent Showing From Soil Once
Unproductive.
In describing some of the crops
grown on a 400 acre fruit and truck
farm in Maryland a writer in Nation
al Stockman and Farmer regards it as
one of the best examples of success
full farming that can be found any
where in the country. 1t makes a
magnificent showing A soil once bar
rem and unproductive is a veritable
garden. Costly and handsome new
buildings have been erected. About
$50 acres are now in strawberries.
Over 10000 peach trees have reached
the bearing age Large blocks of
pears, plums and dewberries have
been established, and vegetables are
shipped in immense quantities every
year
Expensive Soil Building.
The soil needed humus as we'll as
plant food, and cash crops were to be
grown on a poor soil. How could it
be done? By bringing manure all the
way from New York and paying l$2.75
per ton delivered on the siding in the
center of the farm This practice is
still followed by the owner, and, as
nearly as we can estimate, he will use
during 1907 not less than 1000 tons of
manure. Cowpeas are also grown ex-
tensively for soil Improvement.
Growing Strawberry Plants.
The most prominent feature of this
farm is the strawberry plant business.
Sixty-fve acres are now we'll covered
with matted rows ready for spring
sales, and from 100000 to 100000
plants will be lifted from this acreage.
The transplanting is done in the fall,
setting In rows three and a half feet
apart, spacing twenty to twenty-four
inches in the rows After planting
eight tons of manure per acre are dis
tributed over the rows All hand hoe
Ing is done by contract; pay, $40 per
acre for the season.
For the Muskmeon Crop.
Seventy-fye acres will be planted
this year of Eden Gem and Melted
Rock Rows five feet apart and plants
In the row from eighteen to twenty
four inches apart. Before planting the
drills are enriched by the use of twelve
tons Of stable manure per acre and
800 pounds of q fertilizer containing 6
per cent ammonia, per cent phos-
phoric acid and per cent potash. All
of the potash used is from sulphate.
The manure is placed in the burrows
any time it is convenient during the
winter or early spring.

Procession IF the Four Varieties Of I
This. Superb Fish.

Procession IF the Four Varieties 81
This Superb Fish.
There is nothing more curious con
nected with the fnny tribs than to
watch the doings of the saIr lon family
in Alaska" said an Alaskan dealer.
''The most singular thing Of all is
that after the females deposit their
spawn their earthly career terminates,
and I have seen the bottoms Of creeks
covered with their dead bodies They
give birth to thousands Of their kind
and Immediately die. The young onoa
are then taken care Of by the male
salmon, and it is a we'll known fact
offspring reappear on the very ground
Of their origin. There are four varie
ties of this superb fish which make
their appearance in regular order Of
succession.
I'm the spring the first to arrive is
the magnificent king salmon, which
weighs all the way from fifteen to
ninety pounds. About June / comes
the sookey or red salmon, which visits
our shores in enormous numbers and
which is the common canning variety.
A little later appears the log salmon,
which only the Indians will eat and
finally, in August ana September, the
beautiful silver salmon arrives, the
prettiest fish in all the world and one
of the most palatable.
when the salmon enter the fresh
water by curious trick of nature
their skin becomes red, but this pink
hue does not affect the whiteness Of
their flesh. 1t is seldom that salmon
will journey up a glacier stream, but
the streams that have lakes at their
heads literally swarm with them. -

TO FIGHT THEFTS
State Bottlers' Association, in
Convention at Milwaukee,
is After Junk Dealers
WANT BOTTLES RETURNED

Efforts will be made by the members
of the Wisconsin State Bottlers' AS
ISOLATION, in convention in Milwau
kee, to secure the passage of law
by the present Legislature inf1ictiug
a penalty upon persons detected and
convicted of purloining bottles.
Junk dealers who will purchase such
bottles are also to come within the
purview of the proposed law. This
Legislation is necessary, say the bot
tiers, to protect their industry a S the
price of bottles has within the last
six months increased fully Is percent.
An executive session of the off GERS
Of the Association was held yesterday.
The regular business session con-
vened in the afternoon in the large
dining room at the Hotel B1atz, and
officers said it would be impossible
to conclude their business in one day.
The demand for bottles far exceeds
the supply. Breweries are at their
wits end, the demand for their pro-
duct in glass receptacles increasing
steadily while the request for beer in
kegs is on the decrease. The bottle
clearing house established in Mil
waukee two years ago, has operated
with great satisfaction and success,
and more than pays the Association
in maintaining it. It is to this clear
ing house that stray bottles are sent
and then returned to their original
owners. During the past year it is
said thousands Of bottles Of every de-
scription and belonging to firms not
only in this state but in, many other
states, were returned. The power of
the clearing house manager will be
Increased, the results accomplished
warranting such action

REPRESENTATION
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION TO BB
 As HERETOFORE.
Each Delegate, However, Will in Fu- ture he Expected to Pay fer His Entertainment, Taking Bur-
 den or City.

An important meeting of the State Executive Committee of the Alabama Sunday School Association was held in the office of George G. Miles. of this city yesterday. The following mem bers were present: R. F. Lewis. Bir- mingham: Geo. G. Miles, Chairman, Montgomery; Jno. W. Durr. Jr.. Mont gomery; Armstead Brown, Montgom- cry; W. B. Davidson, Montgomery; S.. B. Sightler. Montgomery; D. H. Mar bury, Marbury; W. F. Thetford, Mont gomery; Michael Cody, Montgomery; Adolph Roemer. Montgomery; Jno. B. Fuller, Montgomery; R. c. Blakey, Montgomery; Messrs. A. J. Brooks and P. c. Thurston. of Birmingham. were invited to be present as visitors.
 Plans of the work generally were discussed, much interest being mani fested by all present.
 The outlook for the work was never better. Plans were made to secure another field worker. which will be arranged for in a few days.
 One of the most important features concerning the work was the fixing of the basis of representation for the next it was decided that the Basis of Rep resentation should remain as it has been, as follows: All officers of the State Convention. the Pastors and Su- perintendent are ex-officio delegates and two delegates from each school in ad- dltion thereto.
 It was further decided that each del- eRate attending the State Convention would be expected to pay his expenses while in attendance upon the Conven- tion. that the Sunday School workers of the City would not be expected to to entertain delegates as heretofore.
 Each delegate will be required to bring with him credentials from his superintendent showing that he is en- titled to 8 membership in the Conven- ton.
 This action was taken because the Convention has grown so large that only a few cities in the State can enter tain the Convention on a free enter tainment basis It was desired to give every Sunday School in the State a chance to be represented In the State Convention.
 A committee was appointed to receive and pass upon invitations from various cities in the State that might desire to have the next State Convention. This committee Is composed of George c. Miles, chairman of the State Exc cutive Committee, Joseph Carthel Gen. eral Secretary and Armstead Brown, Vice Chairman. All communications of this nature should be addressed to the General Secretary.
