CLAIMS WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
DutIer, Pa, Pastor Says He Has Plan
to End cravitation Law.

Butler. Pa.-Rev. Phillip Shredano-
vich. pastor of the Greek Orthodox
church here and editor of Justices,
has announced discovery which, If It
works out. will put Newton, Franklin
and Edison far in the rear. The pas
tor-editor declares he has invented a
means by which the rotation Of the
earth on its axis may be taken ad-
vantage Of in travel. and that by stand
ing sull one may go round the world
in "a hours.
He has found a way, Rev Mr.. Shire
danovich says. by which men may lift
themselves above the earth to a point
where they will stand still while the
earth rotating from west to east, will
do their travelling for them.
The secret is iealously guarded by
the pastor and his wife, whom he
credits with suggesting the idea. He
asks 100000 for the invention.
Rev. Mr.. Shredanovich said: I'VE
will hoist ourselves above the earth
and await the coming of the desired
place, then we will lower ourselves
where we desire to be. In this way
We may go from America to Europe
in less than 12 hours. Ny secret is
how to stand super earth and not
be trailed by the earth's attraction.
He says his invention makes It pos
sible to get away from gravitation and
still not be lost in space. He does
not say how one may get away from
the swirling earth and take his stand
in the ethereal void. but any one
with 100000 may find out.

No crop will surpass pure sugar
cane for a money maker on any Of our
southern soils where it will grow sue
cessfully. Any old field will make
from $50 to 500 gallons of syrup per
acre with liberal supply of fertilizer
(not less than one-half tone per acre..
The cultivation of the crop is no
more difficult than corn, and the
heavy work Of taking off the crop
comes at a time when you can com
mand the best labor to be had, and
it lasts but short while.
The possibilities for the south in this
industry are practically unlimited A
little more energetic pushing of syrup
on the markets would create a de-
mand that the whole available cane
producing lands could not supply.
When people once eat pure sugar
cane nothing else will fill its place.
The most satisfactory mode of hand
ling is in one quart, one-half gallon
and one gallon tin cans, sealed while
hot. from the pans. Put up in this
shape it will sell at wholesale at from
40 to go cents per gallon. t. 0. b.
We hope that out of the number of
things mentioned above each and
every man who farms will select one
or more and try in connection with
his cotton for few years at least.
Keep honest records of both cotton
and other crops, expenses and pro-
ceeds, and if he is not better satisfied
with his country than before we will
promise not to write on diversification
again.-W. B. Mercier, in Atlanta Con-
stitution.

Stock Raising.

Horse and mule farming is very
profitable to all who have given ii a
trial. IL is a useless, and crying
shame to see the thousands and thou
sands of dollars going out OF the cot
ton states each year for horses and
mules. which we could grow more
cheaply, and OF a much more durable
quality than any we buy.
We know both horses and mules
raised in this community with the very
minimum amount of attention, are
more hardy. fully as large, and much
better adapted to our uses than stock
from other sections. When we can
raise a colt that is worth. and can be
sold, for from SIS to $3.50 at three
years old at total cost not counting
pasturage Of s25, 1t strikes US more
like a money making proposition than
13 CD month cotton crop.
We have found oat growing for feed
and seed very prohtable-always fol-
lowing with lespedeza or peas for hay.
This gives two money crops on same
land each yea with the least expen-
diture OF labor Of anything we have
ever grown. It protects the land from
washing rains, furnishes It with plenty
of vegetable matter. and in every re-
spect surpasses cotton farming both
as TO profit and pleasure. We get
from 65 cents to 81 for oats, and $3.50
to SIS per ton for hay and have never
been able to supply the local demand
for good quality Of either Hogs in
connection with the oat and hay busi-
ness, are quite remunerative. We
have nearly 100 acres fenced hog
proof, and turn the hogs on the oats
from the time they are large enough
to Craze until the oats begin to head.
They only Craze in spots and the pork
you make and the weeds you lose

grain and continue the weed eating

AGAINST THE TURNER

An order has been received by
United States District Court Clerk
John II. Puryear from Judge Walter
Evans. OF Louisville, dismissing the
libel suit OF the Observation-Disclosures
company, of Nashville. Tenn. against
the steamer Charles Turner. The

ever rendered in this state, He held
that where a boat is chartered and
known to be. that the party furnish
ing the supplies has no lien on the
boat for the supplies, provided the
charter party stipulates that the char
terer must pay all running expenses.
The boat was owned by the Paducah

the time the supplies were furnished
the owners had chartered the boat to
Paul NJ. Ryan at Nashville.

Owing to adverse weather conditions
the full text of the messages could

One warship at Corinto was heard

Protest Mailed Knox.

Mexico City, Dec. 15.-Resolutions
ratified at mass melting of Central

Knox. They declare 1.-THE United
States has no right to intervene in
Central America and we affirm that
the purpose of your government is
offense against Mica
ragua, arousing political passions,
taking advantage of the credulity and
disloyalty of some Central Ameri-
cans.
Nicaragua has grounds to con-
slider that the present revolution is
promoted by the government OF the
United States and has a perfect right
TO claim determination for the loss OF
life and interests caused.
'Tf the United States had sought
an equitable and impartial solution II
would have accepted the mediation
offered b. Mexico to solve the ques-
ton peacefully.
"We consider your note Is not in
spired by government friendly to
the people of Central America, and
protest against the aggression your
government is practicing against
Nicaragua. We call upon all our
countrymen to be alert respecting the
dominating and absorbing tendencies
of the American government in order
that they act as the patriotism and
independence of our five republics re-
qulre."
