WelI-spent Time.

Let woman who has been working all the morning over the countless details of housekeeping put on her hat and go out for brisk walk. If 1t is only for 15 minutes it will do her untold good-her head will be clearer and her heart lighter.
 Time thus taken Is not wasted, but the best kind of an investment, as she will find she can do much more in the long run.

Freakish Lightning.

Mr.. G. A. PuIlen, a we'll known cit
izen of the Flint Hill neighborhood,
reports some strange feats accom-
plished by lightning on the Johnson
place, in the northeast part of the
county. During an electrical storm a
few days since lightning struck a
huge tree, and after passing down
the trunk of the forest king tore up
the ground in such a manner as to
leave a ditch about twenty-five feet
long and five or six feet deep. The
electrical current then bucked up
against barbed wire fence, and tore
up several panels. The wind which
accompanied the lightning carried
the wires which were in a horizontal
position away, leaving the barbs,
which had been twisted loose from
their moorings, scattered on the
ground.

COULDN'T FOOL CONFER.

Gov. Conner displayed unexpected
grit when he openly defied Milton H.
Smith, the foxy president of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad,
who has for years controlled Ala
bama politics as far as railroad legis-
lation was concerned, but when he
bucked up against Roosevelt at the
recent conference of governors he
showed courage that was surprising z
and at the same time commendable.
Roosevelt called the governors to-
gether for the ostensible purpose of
devising ways and means to protect
the timber resources of the country
but the real end in view was to in
duce the chief executives of the diff
ferent states to take action which
would result in Capitalization of
power in the federal government, a
thing that is dear to the presidents
heart. When Gov. Conner saw the
drift of matters he called the presi-
dents hand, and told him emphatic
ally that he would be a party to no
movement which had the curtaiIment
OF states rights as the end in view.
Roosevelt, on account of his
seemingly Unsuitable desire for hom-
age and adulation, has been trying
for the past year to ingratiate him
self with the people Of the South,
and that this policy was pursued in
the recent conference at Washington
is evinced by the fact that he gave
governors very desirable
committee appointments. There are
few politicians as shrewd or as re-
sonrcefnl as Roosevelt. but South
erners are not fools. and they pos
sess sufficient perspicacity to see
through his little scheme.

Cabbage Shipments.

Columbus has entered upon her
carer as a truck growing center, sew
araf car loads of cabbage having been
shipped to st. Louis and other west

HaiIstorms and CaterpiIIars.

An army of 100000 caterpillars has
appeared in the Krugersdorp district,
which recently suffered severely from
a hailstorm. Old colonists connect the
visitation with the recent fall of hail,
and they recall instances where
plaques OF insects have invariably fol-
lowed phenomenal storm. 1t is sug-
gested that the stones carry some
germ which is launched into life when
the melting process begins, and farm
ers who have penetrated deeply into
the mysteries of the yield trace the
periodical visitations of huge swarms
or butterflies and moths and even of
the dreaded tick to the evolution Of a
germ in the hailstone deposited on the
ground. Venerable Free Staters now
resident in the district have vivid
memories of frightful storms in the
late SOS and in the early '70s, says the
Rhodesia Herald, when similar cater
pillar plaques devastated the crops il
the conquered territory, and they also
recall the interesting fact that when
the black insects arrived the locusts
disappeared.
