some truck crops it may pay to COM

kinds to convert the crops we raise
into meat and power and milk, and
leave. at the same time, most of the
fertilizing elements in these crops on
the farm where they can help to
grow other crops.
We need more stock. then, and we
need to make more manure; but we
also need almost equally as much to
take better care Of the manure we are
now making.
Are We of the South so rich that
we can afford in three States to
waste $29,000,O0O worth of plant
food each year?
We do not believe we are; but if
We were, it would be none the less
criminal for us to do it, A needless
waste is always criminal; and to
many Southern farmers the proper
care Of the manure made on the
farm would mean the difference be-
tween poor crops and good ones, be-
tween hard times and prosperity.
This is no exaggeration, but a plain
statement Of simple facts.
And it isn't so hard to take care
of the manure and prevent much of
the waste that now goes on. Just a
few simples rules need to be follow
ed:
1. Have the floors Of the stables
made so that the liquid manure can
not escape. A concrete floor will an
swer, or very close board floor, or
one made Of clay packed down hard
and tight.
2. Use plenty of bedding-pine
straw, leaves, cut-up corn stalks, dust.
refuse hay or straw--so as to absorb
the liquids. With a tight earth floor
and plenty of bedding the common
loss of one-third to one-half the value
Of the manure may be reduced to
very little; and any farmer can have
these two things.
3. Haul the manure out every day
if possible and spread it on the land
If not able to do this, let it pack in
the stables, using plenty Of bedding
and keeping it .most-not wct-and
firmly packed.
a. Do not let it get dry and fire
fang"
s.. Do not throw it out in the
weather. If it must be piled out at
all, make wide, fiat heaps and keep
them moist.
3. Never mix lime or ashes with
the manure. Acid phosphate or
floats makes an excellent absorbent,
however, and supplies the element in
which the manure. is most lacking
phosphOric acid.
T.. When manure Is taken to the
fields, do not throw it in little heaps
and leave 1t for the ammonia to es-
cape. Get it spread on or mixed with

TO ENLARGE PLANT
CITIZENS LIGHT COMPANY ISSUES
 BONDS.
Will Install New Machinery at its Power Plant to Extend it's Lines and Increase
 Business.

Preparatory to increasing the capac- ity and efficiency of its present power plant, the Citizens Light. Heat and Power Company of this city. have ne- gotiated for a loan of $5OO.O0O worth of bonds. Only $2o0,000 of the bonds were offered and this amount was sold to George Nj. Seward and Co.,. bond dealers and bankers. of Chicago. The balance of the amount will be held for future extensions.
 Acting for a large trust company of Chicago, a prominent local attorney filed a deed of trust in the office of the Judge of Probate yesterday made by the Citizens Light, Heat and Power Company for $500.000 of bonds. This provides for the present issue of $5O,o00 bonds.
 In speaking about the plans of the company last evening, Alex Rice, pres ident of the company. said:
 '"The company has been planning to install a 5000 horse power steam tur- nine with a 1000 kilowat direct con- nected generator in order to extend It's lines and take on new business, The present plant and quarters of the com nanv have been loaded for some time ana the increasing business made it necessary to prepare plans for the flu ture."
 The financial stringency has inter- fered with these plans, but the usu- ally favorable report of the auditing company and the expert engineer which were recently secured by the Chicago bond dealers made the sale of the bonds comparatively easy. Only $200,- 900 of the $50O,00O worth of bonds were sold. The balance will be used for future extensions"

.TEASLEY IN CHARGE
WILL ARRANGE FOR CONFERENCE
 IN MONTGOMERY.
Alabamlans Opposed to ConEtitutioBaI Prohibition Amendment Will Probably Hold Meeting at
 The Grand Theatre.

Tax Collector Charles B. Teasley will have charge of the arrangement flor the big conference to be held in Montgomery September 15 to oppose the proposed constitutional amend ment. [
 MT. Teasley was requested by a num- Der of the signers to take charge of the preliminary arrangements, inas- much as the signers of the call have not as yet any organization.
 When the conference is held an or ganization will undoubtedly be formed. The signers include some of the most distinguished citizens of the State and they will oppose the proposed patching of the constitution on patriotic grounds. They will not be affiliated with any other organization and will probably conduct an independent cam paign.
 While the work of the conference has not been officially forecasted beyond the meeting, volunteer speakers against the amendment will be asked for and a voluntary fund will be made up for their expenses.
 The meeting will probably be held in the Grand Theatre. The attendance is expected to be large and 1t Is pre- dicted that 1t will be one of the most enthusiastic conventions held in Mont gomery in many years.

WILL ARREST MOORE
MYSTERY OF WOMANs DEATH NOT CLEARED.
MrS. Henderson is Said to Have Moved in Fashionable Circles of Birm. inEham Under AOnther name.

Birmingham, Aug. 26.--(Special. .)- The development in the case of the mysterious death of Mrs. Huella Hen derson was the announcement today by Coroner Brasher that he expected to have c. S. Moore who says he was the husband of the dead woman, back In Birmingham within twenty-four hours.
 Moore left here the day after the death, saying he was going to Chat tanooga. The coroner Is now of the opinion that Moore did not buy a ticket for this city, but is in another town.
 While the verdict of the coroner.s jury is still sealed, 1t is known trat following the damaging testimony of the old negro nurse, relative to sec ing Moore inject morphine or strych- nine into the woman's arm, that the verdict involves Moore.
 An interesting side light was the re- cognition of the body of the woman as she lay at the undertaking shop by we'll known Birmingham lawyer. He admitted today that he knew Mrs Henderson, and said that she had come to him several months ago in an ef- fort to leave Moore. While declining to talk further, he said Mrs. Tender son at that time was residing in a home in the fashionable district of Birmingham, and that but for a change of name would doubtless be known among many of the society people of Birmingham.
 The case continues an absorbing topic and the return of Moore Is await ed. In the meanwhile a chemical ex- animation is to be made of the stom- ach of the dead woman.
