And this by some may be regarded as a wonderful discovery, although the old housewives of New England are well aware that the odor of camphor or the odor of the oil of lavender will keep off biting flies and mosquitoes if faithfully used. Then there is the smoking stick of punk of Chinese in- vention which the ladies wear in their hair when out of doors in mosquito districts, and find protective. The old simple methods beat this new triple mixture to death.

As this bill is presented above it is far from being righteous measure. A mans property should always be paid for, not seized. The old right of eminent domain under which con- demnation proceedings must be held and the square thing done goes far enough. Any law which gives a cor poration possession of private prop erty against the protests of the own CT, and which opens up chance for imposing compulsory expenses equal to or in excess of it's cost is bad law, for it in effect is persecution and robbery. No new law seems to be needed in the interests of the alleged public.

NOT A FAIR PROPOSITION.

The Waterbury Republican sits down hard on bill recently report ed favorably by the judiciary commit tee at Hartford and we certainly think it has good reason for it's objections to the measure. ''The bill," says the Re- publican, provides that when rail- road company needs a piece of real estate it can take it and settle with the owner afterward. That is to say, it can fight him through all the courts if it pleases, just as it does damage suits now. That is good bill to kill. A railroad company should own a piece of property after it buys or con- demns 1t. not before. A man naturally prefers to leave either property or money to his heirs-not lawsuits" We agree with The Republican that on the presentation of the bill shown it is a good one to kill. "Butchered to make Roman holiday" would be the best use it could be put to.-Ansonia Sentinel

FARMERS MEET
PROFESSOR DUNCAN AND OTHERS
MAKE PRACTICAL TALKS ON I'M
PRovEMENT OF FARM CONDl-
TIoNS-LARGE AUDIENCE.

Russellvile, February 26-(Special y
Thursday was a gala day for the farm
ers of Franklin county. The state rep
resentatives of the Farmers union and
Prof. L. N. Duncan, assistant director of
the Alabama experiment station, were
here and delivered addresses upon the
subjects vital to the welfare of the farm
ers.
Between $50 and 200 of the best farmers
in Franklin county were in attendance.
and their enthusiasm was plainly in evil
dence.
The first address delivered was "Impor-
tant to the Farmers Union,' by State
Lecturer v. U. Ford Mr.. Ford brought
out plainly the things that are important
to the welfare of the Farmers union in
Alabama, the things that could and
should be done to increase the useful
ness OF the union, the things that the
union in Alabama is fighting for, and the
things 1t would accomplish With the
greatest of enthusiasm ever known in a
farmers meeting this address was re-
Ueived and more than one suggestion
which was made by Mr.. Ford will tend
to make stronger union men in Franklin
county.
The second address was by Prof. L. N
Duncan of the experiment station on obi
veisified Farming Professor Duncan
told of the many benefits derived from
the diversification of crops, showing that
a &C tton farmer and diversified farmer
were far from together. He summed up
the cotton farmers ideas of cultivation

is money in diversified farming Professor

CURTAILMENT BY
YARN SPINNERS

Charlotte, February 26.-In what was
the largest attended and most enthusiastic
meeting for four years the Southern Hard
Yarn Spinners' association met here to-
day to consider the unsatisfactory condi-
ton of the hard yarn market and take, if
possible, some protective steps. Curtail-
ment was the only feasible plan suggest
ed, but it was the sense of the meeting
that in view of the failure of previous
curtailment plans by reason of broken
agreements, that nothing short of for
FIXTURE clause would meet conditions. A
committee was appointed to formulate
plans of curtailment and report at a
called meeting to be held at an early date.
1t is understood that the plan will en-
tail a curtailment of $50 1-3 per cent for
three months beginning March l, and that
it will embrace a heavy forfeit for every
violation of agreement, and further it will
embody the appointment of a representa-
tive to see that the agreement is carried
out by every mill in the association. The
meeting was harmonious and enthusiast
