WANT COURT HOUSE
RUSSELL COUNTY PEOPLE ARE
 AROUSED.
They Will Have Bie Mass Meeting at Gfrard--New Boundary Lines Are Now Pro-
 posed.

Girard. May il --(special)- The mass meeting which was to have been held in Girard last night on the sub ject of new count house for Russell County. to be located in this city. was postponed until Monday night on ac- count of a downpour of rain at that hour.
 Locally there Is great enthusiasm over the project to alter the Lee and Russell County lines so as to annex Phenix City. now in Lee County, to Russell County, and in the combined city of Phenix-Girard erect the pro- posed new court house of Russell County. The present court house of Russell County Is located at Scale and Is no longer adequate for the needs of the County, and there Is rather strong sentiment over the County that new court house be erected. Scale. the present county site will of course try to retain the new court house. Scale has a population of 200 or 800 people and is near the geographical center of the County.
 Girard had 1000 people in 1900, &C., cording to the United States census. and Is the only city in Russell Coun- ty. It is claimed that Phenix- -Girard would contain at least 10000 and probably 12.000 people. The combined population given the two cities by the 1900 census was S,003.
 For Phenix- City and a strip of Lee County which Russell wants. 1t is pro- posed to swap the Marvyn beat and possibly another Russell County beat to Lee County. The market of the Marvyn community is Opelika, rather than Phenix City or Girard. It Is claimed that Girard is nearer the cen ter of white population of Russell County than any other town in the County. Should the court house come here values would be enhanced and it is claimed that the combined cities would get on a boom.
 The Scale people, and people in those other sections of the County which oppose change, point out that Scale is near the center of the County and Is convenient of access to all the people. and that to move the court house to the extreme eastern edge of the County would be hardship to the people in the western |. and extreme southern part of Russell. The Ala bama legislative floor will probably be the arena upon which the fight will be made which will determine the matter, although popular ratification would also be necessary, very proba- bly

A Mad Marcbioness.

Milan, Italy. May 11.-A mad mar chioness created excitement in this city by setting fire to her house and defy ing her rescuers. The Marchioness Atala Ramblet. a handsome woman of middle age and notoriously eccentric was found in her house. which she had set on fire, stark mad, and dressed in a splendid court costume. She had locked and bolted the doors. and when a forcible entrance was made she fired on the firemen with a revolver, mor- tally wounding two of them.
 The demented woman was last over powered at last by jet of water di- rected at her when she appeared at a window. and she was removed to an in sane asylum. She had concealed about her $50000 in bank notes.
 Her house, with it's great collection of pictures and other art treasures was totally destroyed.

 The increase of tea drinking in Amer ica has much to do with the present prosperity of tea growers in India ana Ceylon. Last year the crops raised were the largest on record ana yet the supply was unequal to the de- mand.

 Tn spite of the intervention or the authorities. which as is well known can be very severe with regard to the on- servances of religious customs. the soi- diers persisted in their refusal. one officer said point blank to ms superio, o oasoor that he would not be forced to go to confession, neither would the men under him. He declared that there ex- isted no rule whatever which coulo force a man to go to confesslon "he" he did not wish to.

EXPERIENCE on MOLOKAI.

The experience on Molokai, Mr.. Van
Dine said, had shown that fifty or sixty
per cent of the dung, which was the
material in which the fly bred, was
found around watering troughs and in
shady places, so that any treatment of
this material to prevent the breeding
of the fly would be much cheaper from
this fact than if it were scattered all
over the feeding grounds. 1t was also
a fact that cattle feeding in the groves
were comparatively free from the horn
fly because the pigs in roofing about
for the algaroba bean SO spread out
the dung that it dried before the pupae
of the fly could develop. Francis Gay
had also experimental with a fly trap
with some success.
The bot fly which while found here
had not as yet developed into destruc-
tive pest was so elsewhere, the Stats
ties of the Union Stock Yards, chica-
go showing loss of $3,337 900 in one
year from this source.

LOSS OF SHEEP.

Of the pests of sheep the blow fly
easily came first. 1t was found on
MOlokai, Hawaii, and Oahu, and was
so destructive that in one year it had
caused the death of 5000 out of $4,000
sheep. 1t was supposed formerly to
infest only dead tissue and was never
known before to be an animal pest. It's
destructiveness, however, was due to
its complication with sheep scab irri-
tated by horn-fy.
Other species of sheep pests are two
species of blue bottle fly, the sheep
bot fly, and the screw worm.
The insect pests of horses include
the stable fly, the horse bot fly, and
mosquitoes. Of mosquitoes. Mr.. Van
Dine said that they do more injury
than people are aware of, in the worry
they infiict on horses, and it was now
pretty certain that there was a con-
neetion between mosquitoes and pun
pun. In dogs it is now pretty Ger
in some degree in the spread of the
heart worm.
FRANCIS GAYS FLY TRAP.
A. f. Judd described the fly trap
used by Francis Gay, spoken of by
Mr.. Van Dine. 1t consisted of a chute
through which the cattle were driven.
The chute was lined with bamboo
boughs to brush the flies off the eat
tie. The chutes were covered with
tar paper except in the middle where
there was box open below and COW
cred with glass. When the flies were
brushed off the cattle they rose and
flew into the box attracted there by
the light. When they attempted to
get out they were caught by wire net
ting properly arranged. The effect of
this trap was to catch millions of flies,
greatly to the relief of the cattle, and
apparently thew recognized its benefits
for after being driven through the
chute few times they sought it them
selves.
GOVERNOR CARTER SPEAKS.
Former Governor George r. Carter
was present representing the Board of
Agriculture and Forestry. He said that
Hawaii stood high in the estimation of
men of affairs abroad, because of its
reputation for organized industry. Prof
Hilgard had spoken of this TO him as
had others. He expressed his gratifca-
tiOn that the association had decided
TO continue.
A. F. Judd spoke of two of the
imported grasses, Rhodes grass and
Paspalum diitatum. which had done
excellently on Molokai at all attitudes
above 200 feet. Experiments there had
shown that sowing the seed broadcast
was as effective way of starting It
rs any. l. Won Tempsky spoke of
how well these grasses had proved them
selves on Mani.
There was discussion of new and
noxious weeds that had shown them
selves lately at different places in the
islands.

over by President A. F. Judd. Those
present in person were Mr. Judd. 4. NJ.
