horses, 1 venture to write you. as secre-
tary of the association. expressing some
thoughts l have had on this subject.
In order to get up interest in anything
it is first necessary to keep that subject
prominently before the people: and what
better way is there to do this than for
your association to take over and revive
the old trottinG park in Augusta? With
all the good horses and men interested.
as they are ut The present time. in Au-
gusta. Hallowell and the outlying towns
on our borders. it has always seemed to
me that we could support n good driving
park as well as our sister cities. Water
vile and Lewiston.
From what I know Of the park in
question. which. l will admit. is some
what limited. I do not think that it would
require great outlay of money to put
ii in very fair condition: at least in
good enough shape so that horse races
could be held. And. looking over the
nlmher of horses and men that should be
money, in my opinion. could easily be
raised.
OF course there is no way to get up in
terest in q thing Of this sort SO quickly
as n few good horse races. and I venture
to say that there is no sport that there
is so much interest taken in, among all
classes of people. as there is in good.
clean horse racing, whether for sport or
purse.
Judging from the crowds that have at
tended the ice racing this last winter.
properly conducted races should be self
suppol ting. and once the interest is re-
vived and stimulated we ought soon to
be able to get together enough people to
improve on the track and grounds; and
the interest in good horses. rot only the
speeders but good driving horses. is sure
TO follow. Not only the horses owners
should he interested. but also the bushes
men. for they would profit by it as much
as the horse owners.
I ahculd like very much to hear from
YOU in regard to your views on tie mat
ter.
Yours Very Truly m TO- Da1oa'z -a.L

Elmore of Ss5 South McDonough street. went to a rear window early this morning and looking out saw some one whom she Thought was a negro, trying to climb over the fence. Being armed she fired twice as the man slipped over the fence A moment after the shots were fired a man screamed murder" at the top of his lungs. attracting the at- tention of the neigh borhood and sev- eral policemen. Investigation showed Richard Sullivan. a negro. lying beside the curbing a few yards from the house where the shots were fired. sbleeding from wounds in his legs, naak and back.
 The part that puzzles the police is that the wounds were evidently in- fiicted with a knife, seemingly a ra- zor At an early hour this morning the man was being attended by phys ician in police headquarters. but hav- ing lost much blood and being deeply cut. his recovery is in doubt. Nothing could be got from him when he was first found. he seemed scared to speak, and later lost consciousness.

WILL FIGHT WEEvlL
CONVENTION or FARMERS CALLED
 AT WATCHER.
Governors of states, Experts anA others Invited To Attend and Dis. cuss Methods To Battle
 With Cotton Pest.


 Birmingham Sept. 3o--A special from Jackson. Miss. says:
 What promises to be the most not able gathering of farmers ever held in the South will take place at Matches from November 24 to 27, inclusive.
 The prime purpose of the gathering is to prepare the farmers Of the cotton belt east of the Mississippi River to battle with the boil weevil and to ac- quaint them with ways and means of minimizing the ravages of the pest.
 Secretary L. D. Davis, of the Natchez Chamber of Commerce, passed through Jackson. returning homo from . tour of Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. during which he rendered personal in |. vitations to the Governors and Com. missioners of Agriculture of those States to attend the Natchez meeting and name delegates who will resresent the agricultural interests of their re- spective commonwealths.
 The dreaded boil weevil crossed the Mississippi River at or near Natchez. one year ago. The historic city on the Mississippi is therefore re- karded as . nncst appropriate place for a convention at which ways and means of lighting the pest should be discuss- cd. and at the approaching convention all the information that is possible will be given on the subject.
 The United States Department of Ae- riculture has promised its co-opera- ton. and will have twenty or more of its special agents, headed by Dr. s. A. Knapp, in attendances

VIEWS OF DIR. KOCH
ARE PRESENTED TO CONGRESS ON
 TUBERCULOSIS.
The Famous German Physician Says That Human Beings May Be Infected By Bovine Tuher-
 cle Bacillf.

Washington. Sept. 30.--That his declaration at the British Congress on Tuberculosis in London, in 1901, that Human beings may be infected by bovine tubercle bacilli. but that serious diseases from this cause oc- cur very rarely have undergone no modification, was emphasized by Dr. Robert Koch. the eminent authority, before the International Congress on Tuberculosis here today. Dr. Koch stated that his opinion has been re- inforced as the result of experiments.
 Dr. Koch said:
 Up to date, nc case of tuberculosis of bovine type has been definitely dem onstrated." /"
 He declared that our regulations for comb atting tuberculosis by all means be directed against the tubercle baccilli.
 pr. Koch made the above unequivo- cal statement at a joint session of Sections Two and Seven of the Con gress. when the subject of The Rela- tions of Human and Bovine Tubercu- losis" was discussed. Many of the mot eminent scientists in the world participated.
 Dr. Arloing of France, fin combating the view of Dr Koch declared himself 6 staunch adherent of the doctrine of the unity of the tubercle bacillus, and pointed out the necessity of taking precautions against the tuberculosis virus. whatever may be it's origin.
 Dr. Koch today declared that to his knowledge, the bacilli of the human type have never been demonstrated fin cattle, but that the bacilli of the bovine type can occur n man. They have been found in ths cerical lymph glands and at the intestinal tract" he said. With few exceptions. however these bacilli are but slightly virulent for man and remain localized The few known cases in which the bovine tuber- culosis is said to have produced in man tc me not above suspicion.
 Dr. Koch took sharp issue with many of his opponents whom, he said have made strenuous efforts to prove that the tubercle bacilli in man ant those in cattle cannot be of different species. and added:
 T have never held that we are deal ing with two distinct species. bu have only stated that they differ iron each other in certain characteristics '' A number of papers were read a l the several sectional meetings today among them being one by Jacob H | schiff, President of the Monteoiort Home for Invalids in New York city who talked on the work done by that l institution.

A DANGrRoUs FALLAcY.
pxo6aaent of Bankers Association At
 taeks 0uaranty of Deposits.

HFoooG9Df or banHeks AssOchuuoh As-
 taeks Guaranty of Deposits.
 Denver Col, Sept. so.-ro-day the rseular business session of the Amer fcsr, Bankers' Association opened in inc city auditorium and the vast hall which echoed with the cheers of the Dernocrats when in national conven- tion, they adopted a platform favoring guarantee of bank deposits by national law or If this Is impossible, the es- tabiishment of postal savings banks, witnessed a scene of a body of men renresenting the wealth of the na- ton. repudiating these ideas as dan- gsrous to the prosperity of the country.
 Already the savings bank section. the clearing house section and the trust company section, had gone on record against guaranteeing bank de- posits and had either voted against or shown by their attitude that they were unalterab1y opposed to the es- tablishment of postal savings banks. The keynote was struck to-day in the speech of Col. J. D. Powers. pres ident of the association. who declared that the bank deposit guarantee was Q dangerous fallacy. A vote on these two propositions will probably not be taken before tomorrow.
 President ]. D. Powers. in his an- nual address devoted practically his entire time to the recent panic and his
 Exposition to the proposition to guar
 ntee bank deposits. which he said would not have been heard of in the present political campaign had there been no financial panic.
 Of the panic he said that few fnan- cial storms occur without attending benefits. frequently greater than the disaster brought. The unhealthy con- ditions that surround many banking institutions in New York, required just such heroic treatment to allay the morey-made fever which has possessed them. The banks suffered by allowing the borrower rather than the lender to fix the price of collaterals pledged Tor loans.
