Maine CentRal Railroad Isssss FREE
qusnt Fishins Bulletins.
The Maine Central railroad has made .
remarkable campaign for spsing fsshins
this year, and is getting rood results,
"Moreovcr," writes General Passenger
Agent Boothby to THE ELrswohrH
AMERICAN, "the State Of Maine seens Be
cooperating with az, and the fishermen
are having the BEST success that they have
enjoyed fora number Of years, II ever.
THE bulletins are posted 1t frequent
Intervals throughout Boston, New York,
Springfield, Worcester, and other large
cities, In the uptown ticket offices, At the
stations, and with the sporting goods
houses.
"lf You have been to Boston lately. NO
doubt you have seen the bulletins dis
played In the North Union station, and
tho interest that they have aroused.
The season this year Is from three to
four weeks earlier than normal. Last
year st the present time we were looking
forward to the ice going out; here it has
been out for three weeks or more. II the
state OF Maine does not see tbs largest
number Of sportsmen in its borders this
season for the spring and summer fishing
that 1t ever saw, shall be much mistaken,
for we shall have season Of at least three
weeks longer than the normal, with fish
ing exceptionally good. This is true all
over Maine, from Grand lake in Washing
ton county to Moosehead and the Range
leys, and especially true at Sebago.
THE latter is good example Of what
Maine offers to fishermen. Here Ia a lake
but sixteen miles from city Of 5000 pop
ulation, and yielding land-locked salmon
OF from twelve to twenty-five pounds, and
many OF them. This Is no exaggerstion.
We had letter from our agent at Sebago
lake only this week, in which he said that
the school children. after school hours,
fishing from the steamboat wharf and the
icc-house alps, have landed as many a. q
dozen salmon, weighing from four to
eight pounds, without landing nets.
1.-THE fishing in Maine Is improving year
BY year, owing to proper foresight and
the stocking Of its water from the Maine
hatchsries, Of which you have such good
example at your door at Green lake.
'.Finally, want to say that we are pay.
ing equal sttention to the smaller ponds
and lakes, like Phillips and Branch ponds
and Green lake in your vicinity, - well
- other minor ponds in other sections Of
the State, while 1t the same time fully ex-
plotting the larger lakes, such ~ Moose
head, the Rangeleys, Sebago and Grand
lake, giving prominence also to tho lesser
nshing waters. Ifyou can give rs any in
formation about the ponds, lakes and
streams in your vicinity, we shall be glad
to use same in this connection"
sample OF the bulletins being issued,
which accompanied the above letter, gives
briefly the condition OF the weather, and
reports Of catches made at Rangeley,
Grand, Sebago and Moosehead lakes.

Increase Corn Acreage.

1t must now be admitted that the
grain crop will in the main be a disap-
pointment. The very severe winter,
followed by the six weeks drought in
March and April, so deyitalized grain
that it failed to rally when the belated
ram fell a fortnight ago. The short
harvest will fall especially
heevy upon farmers this year because
of the increased number who are buy
ing corr. While many granaries may
continue empty, it is not yet too late
to recover the loss by filing the 1orn
cribs next fall. Western feed will
probably be higher next year than it is
now, so it behooves every farmer to
increase his corr acreage for this year
beyond what he originally planned.
The grain crop has been in a measure q
failure but it is not too late to make a
large corr crop.

sive fight for the cotton growers
The following resolution introduced.
by Capt. j. r. Blocker was also
unanimously adopted:
Resolved by the Edgefeld Demo
cratic Party in Convention assem-
bled, that we have learned with I'M
feigned sorrow of the recent serious
illness of our distinguished fellow
citizen, Senator B. R. Tillman,
whose useful and conspicuous ser
vices in the United State senate
which has been a source of gratifca-
ton and pride to the people of our
State whom he SO ably represents;
and while we regret hat on this ac-
count he is temporarily incapa eta
ted from attendance upon the pres
ent session of congress, we rejoice
to hear that his physical condition
is m UGH improved, and earnestly
hope for a speedy and permanent
restoration of his accustomed robust
hea lth, to the end, that he may in
the near future be able to resume
his active Senatorial duties.
After all routine business had
been completed, Chairman B. E..
Nicholson requested the convention
to discuss certain matters pertaining
to the campaign. especially the de-
vising of some means of avoiding
the confusion and dissatisfaction
incident to counting the votes cast
for magistrate. Several solutions
were suggested but none of them
were entirely satisfactory. Finally,
a motion was made to take the cleo
ton of magistrates ont of the pri-
mary, it being optional with the
county convention as whether or
not they are elected by the people.
This motion precipitated consider
able discussion pro and con, the
sentiment of the convention being
almost equally divided. The final
vote resulted in so votes for con-
tinuing the present system and 80
against it. Henceforth all magis-
trates will be appointed by the gov
ernor upon the recommendation of
the delegation to the general assem-
bly, instead of being nominated in
the primary.
