Potatoes Above Ground,

Waterbury, Conn, Aug. 25.-Sam-
uel Wilson, Of Wollcott, is raising po-
tatoes both above and below ground
on the same vine as a result of two
years Of experimenting.
A few weeks ago, on looking over
his new potato plants, he saw little
bud-like proturbances growing out
from the bases Of the leaves. These
buds developed into well-formed and
gOod-siZed potatoes of the same kind
as those growing at the roots of the
plants.
The bush potato is a cross between
the Beauty Of Hebron potato and the
Delaware. Those above ground grow
from four to eight on a plant, one at
the base Of each leaf. Food experts
report the hybrid to be far more nu-
tritious than the Irish or sweet po-
tato and much more easily grown.

The Backbiter is Loser.

He who tries, directly or Indirectly,
to injure another in business or rep
utation, Is always eventually the
loser. The injured one, IL he main
tains his integrity, will come out of
the furnace without the smell Of fire
upon his garments, while the other
will bear the taint of the traducer.
Some men are morally coarse-grained
and have a conscience scared with
selfishness. They lack that nice sense
of moral propriety which leads to a
practical recognition of the golden
rule. They will perpetrate a petty
mean act without a qualm of con-
science or solitary disturbing emo
ton. Having done an injury, and
being aware of 1t, they never betray
the possession of, the spirit of true
manhood by a frank acknowledge
ment of the same. (Read in the book:
TO the law and to the testimony:
Leviticus 20-16; Proverbs 1873;
| Timothy 5-13.) A person who will
sneak around and SANDER his neigh
Dor not only lies, but will steal and
murder. That is putting 1t pretty
strong, but we will prove 1t: First,
he lies; second, he Is doing his best
to steal that persons good name, and
murder both his good character and
reputation. Character is not inherit
ed altogether; it has to be made, and
when 1t has been made that man will
lie, steal and murder who tries to kill
that character by slandering or back
biting. Shakespeare says, you steal
my pocket-book you get trash, but
steal my good name I am poor in
deed"
Sometimes a cloud Of unjust CAL
umny gathers over good mans
name, lies darken the air, and it
pours falsehoods forty days and forty
nights. But when the shower of SLAM
der has spent itself the truth creeps
out slowly but surely from behind
the clouds Of defamation and slander.
Character shines with more luster
than ever. The same storm that
wrecks a rotten tree only roots the
more firmly the sound tree whose
leaves glisten in the subsequent sun
shine. The life that has no clouds
has no showers. Clouds and showers
go together. The Lord permits the
storm to test you, and then sends the
smile Of his sunshine to reward you.
Another thought is that the skies are
never so blue as when washed by
storm. SO it Is better, far better, to
hope on though the clouds run low.

DEATH FOR BIGAMIsTs.
Man to be Tried for Bigamy May
Have to Pay Death Penalty.

Baltimore, Aug. 20.-Under a very
hoary old law, dating back to 1904,
in the days of the first King James
Of England, William NJ. Adams. who
is in jail with bigamy charge dock
eted against him, may be convicted
and possibly sentenced to death If
all this happens to him he will have
to blame Deputy States Attorney
Raymond Williams, because it was
Mr.. Williams who dug out this hoary
old law and fixed th.rgs so unhap-
PLY for Adams.
Incidentally the discovery made by
Mr.. Williams may prove Of value in
the prosecution OF crime in Baltimore
because IL the old law Is sustained
1t upsets the clause in the State con-
stitution, which provides that bigarny
| cases must be tried within the iuris-
Giction in which the second marriage
occurred.
The indictment in the Adams case.
which was returned by the grand
jury yesterday morning, tells that on
November 4, 1904, he married Jennie
!. McNasby, and that on August 2S,
1907, he ran off to Ellicctt City, in
Howard county, and married Annie
G. Horan. With her, it is charged,
lived with her until he was found out.
Under ordinary circumstances, Ad-
ANS would be taken to Howard
county, where the alleged second
marriage was solemniZed, and tried
in the Howard county court, but Mr..
Williams, in digging in some old legal
tones, found that Judge Alvey, of
the Maryland Court of Appeals, in
the case Of Barber against the State.
reported in 50th Maryland Reports.
had given an opinion holding that the
old law of King James, which was
ordinarily passed with reference to
English counties, and which was
adopted along with many others as
the law Of Maryland, is still of force
in the state.
This old law provides that II fol-
low who has one wife runs off to au-
other jurisdiction and marries ano-
ther woman, and then comes back
again, he can be tried in the jurisdic-
ton to which he has returned, and
If convicted, shall suffer the death
penalty by hanging.
1t is possible, however, that this
extreme penalty is not in force, al
though the law is, because away back
in 1900 the Maryland General Assem-
| bly, passed an act changing the pen
alties of many of the old English
laws, while reatfirming their other
provisions, and Judge Alvey seems to
hold in his decision in the Barber
case that the old penalties are void
Still, this is a debatable point that
will require a court decision, and 1T
makes it very uncomfortable for Mr..
| Adams.

Tobacco Causes Insanity.

New York, Aug. ga piece of
chewing tobacco inserted in the hol-
low of tooth helped to send Mary
Lewis to the Psycopathic ward at
Bellvue last week, and to bring her
before a city magistrate yesterday
on the technical charge Of insanity.
There her mental condition was pass
ed upon and her release ordered.
The patient had never been addict
ed to the use of tobacco until two
weeks aSO, when one of the teeth in
nef lower left Jaw began to ache, and
she was advised to buy plug of to-
bacco, bite off generous portion
and hold it in her mouth. She did
so, and within three days she had ac-
quired the habit.
The ache disappeared, but as it
went away Mary heard strange
voices. A graphophone with a stri-
dent voice called upon her to be good
and troup of children, all in white
and numbering millions, sang songs
and recited verses until she became
unable to sleep. She kept on chew
ing tobacco, and the more she chewed
the louder became the tones of the
graphophone.
Into such a condition did she drift
that it was deemed advisable to have
her undergo an examination in the
Psychopathic ward of Bellvue Hos
pital, where here case was diagnosed
as one of acute mania. with the use
OF tobacco as the exciting and the
principal contributing cause. The
gradual deprivation of the tobacco
resulted in restoring her to a nearly
normal mental condition.

How to Raise Oats PrOfitably.
Carolina Spartan.)

Twenty years ago farmers made
fine oats by sowing the red rust proof
In the cotton rows in August or Sep
tember. Then came few cold win
ters and they were killed and the far
mers quit that plan because they had
no luck. Then they tried the turf
and grazing oats, which We're frost
proof. They were nearly grain proof,
too. for the yield was light, although
the straw was good.
Then about ten or twelve years ago
the open furrow system Of planting
was tried with success in Georgia. 1t
is said that there has been no winter
severe enough to kill oats in Georgia
or this State since that plan was ad-
opted.
Some farmers have raised fine
crops of oats by running the oat drill
two or three times between the cot
ton rows just after the first or second
picking Of cotton. In 36-inch rows
only two rows of oats can be put in.
If the rows are 40 to "A inches three
rows may be run in. or course that
plan does not admit Of any prepara-
tion Of soil. If the oats are put in
very early and are quite forward the
first Of December they should be pas
tured down. That plan is better than
sowing no oats. The best plan, Of
course, is to select such land as may
be well broken and narrowed and the
oats planted from October goth to
December 10th. Plant the Appler or
Southern red to insure fine yield ofj
grain. According to the land, plant
to pecks to the acre. An excellent
fertilizer for oats can be mixed thus:
500 pounds l 4 per cent phosphate.
100 nOnndS mn riata nf nntach
800 pounds cotton seed meal.
Apply 200 pounds with the oats
and then 100 pounds nitrate of soda
about the time the oats begin to boot
or when they are 6 to 10 inches high,
and cultivate with a smoothing har-
row. The cost Of the above fertili-
zer will be about $3.50 an acre and
the yield ought to be 40 to 60 bushels
to the acre.
