Flying Machines at
Appalachian Exposition
Pleasure and Amusement Features
Are Being Given Special
Attention.

Dirigible ballooning IS one form Of
sport that has been practiced but
little in the south, where the ordinary
balloon ascension, with it's attendant
parachute leap, has lost all of its nov.
city, and now attracts but little at
tention. 1t WILL however, have its
innings at the Appalachian Exposi-
ton at Knoxville, Tenn, Sept. IL to
Oct. IL, next, where 1t will form one
of the features of the amusement pro.
gram.
Flights by large gas-inhated bal.
looms controlled by steering appara-
tus will be made from the exposition
grounds over the city at a height not
too great to be plainly visible to the
naked eye. The time Of the flights
will be determined by atmospheric
conditions, for the trips will be made
when these are most favorable II at
night large search lights will be car.
ried in the balloons. Flights by avi.
ators in aeroplanes will be given, also
for the first time in Tennessee with
one exception.
On Chilhowee lake in the center
Of the exposition grounds special
aquatic attractions will be seen.
These will include exhibitions by mo-
tor boats, both submarine and sur.
face, in which the government models
will be exhibited. For those who en-.

SUIT AGAINST RAILROAD.
Chattanooga Man Seeks to F0rcclOse
Mortgage of $0,OOO,OOO.

Rome. Ga, June 2.-One Of the
biggest suits ever brought in the
State was filed in Floyd Superior
Court through Rome attorneys by
George ID. Lancaster, vi Chattanoo-
ga, against the Selma, Rome aud
Dalton Railway for $4,000. The
suit is mortgage foreclosure and
TIE property involved Is the entire
right Of way, tracks, depots and
otEer property now owned and ope.
rated by the Southern Railway from
the Alabama line to Dalton, Ca, a
distance Of - miles.
The mortgage is also said to cover
the line Of road now operated in AL
ALBANIA from Selma to Rome, dist
ance of 800 miles and similar suits
will probably be filed in the Ala
bama courts. The petition of Lancas-
ter alleges the mortgage was given
In 1870 to secure bond issue Of
$6,000,000. Lancaster sets forth
that he owns GO bonds Of $1,000
Ne'Sh' " hiSi ihttIulS GU Ill Tile year
1900, and which, with interest of
$311,000, make up the total of the
amount claimed for which the mort
gage foreclosure Is sought
The petition says the original
mortgage deed was given James p.
Wallace, who Is now dead, and asks
that the mortgage be made first lien
and the property sold.
The Selma, Rome and Dalton rail
road was commenced before the war,
completed in 1870, was absorved by
the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia, and later by the Southern.
The suit will be resisted by the
Southern and will be a great legal
battle. Service has been made by
publication, as the Selma, Rome and
Dalton has passed out of existence
and the first hearing will be at July
term of Floyd Superior Court.

CHiNBsE AFTER FOREIGNERS.
melted to Destruction of Foreign Life
and Property.

Pekin, June 3.-The consuis at
Marking report that native distrub-
ers in that city have assumed openly
an insulting attitude toward foreign
ers and have defiled the walls of the
American consulate in disgusting
manner.
The feeling in several Of the PROV
inces Of China is still giving the au-
thorities much concern. United
States Minister Calhoun, at Pekin,
In cablegram to the State Depart
Mransmits message from the
UnfS4| States consul at Nanking, in
which he says that the city has been
posted with placards melting the
people to the destruction of foreign
life and property. The minister adds
that the United States steamship
New Orleans Is there and is prepar-
ed, with the German, British and
Japanese warships, to land consid-
Herable force If necessary.
Placards Posted in Streets.
Placards have been posted in the
streets calling upon the people to
rise and slaughter the foreigners and
destroy their property.
Threats that revolution will be
launched on June 5, the date set for
the opening Of the Marking exposi-
ton, are causing Chinese merchants
to flee with their treasures to the
country districts, where they are
burying their wealth.
.feeW authorities at Nanking have
c~44oVed the bolts from the rifles of
the soldiers. The situation is con-
sidered to depend entirely upon ,he
attitude OF the military, which up to
the prcesnt had not NANTES ed
symptoms Of disloyalty.
1t is believed that the cruiser New
Orleans and the German and jana
nese men~ofwar lying off the town
will be adequate to protect all for
eigners in the event Of an outbreak.
Wnrships Prepared for Action.
Commander Roger Wells, of the
New Orleans, has conferred with the
commanders of the other warships
and they have agreed upon plan
for concerted action if necessary.
All the diplomats at Peking think
that an outbreak in the province
south OF the Yang g-tse-Kiang river is
likely to occur They believe, how
eetr, that 1t Is extremely improba-
bic thai the trouble will reach this
city

Rape for Hog Pasture.

1T has been demonstrated by the
experiment stations that an acre of
good, rich land sown to rape will
produce as much pork, when used as
bog pasture, as the same acre plant
ed to corn and cultivated. Now the
rape can be grown great deal
cheaper than the corn. The blowing
Will be the same. the preparation of
the seed bed the same. The cost of
the seed will not be greatly differ
ent IN an ordinary year, as the rape
Will cost about % cents an acre.
while the seed for an acre of corn at
the prices this year will cost from
20 10 o0 cents. The rape will require
no cultivation after 1t Is sown and
covered; corn will. The hogs will
harvest the rape themselves; the
farmers must harvest the corn.
Some may say: Then why not
grow rape instead of corn, For the
simple reason that you must use the
rape as pasture, and the amount of
pasture you can use for hogs is lin
tied. Two or three acres Is about
all that the ordinary farmer needs.
1t Is needless to say that this rape
should be sown on good land, land
that will yield so bushels of corn to
the acre; and that 1t should be sown
where hogs can be turned into #
conveniently. 1t can be sown any
tlme; the sooner the better; but
must not be used for a hog pasture
until 1t is about eight or ten inches
high.
There is no danger OF hogs bloat-
ing; for hogs are not built TO bloat
IL can be used for sheep; but there
Is some danger OF sheep bloating. 1t
can be used as a cattle pasture. For
example, If there is more than your
hogs can use, YOU can turn in your
COWS for an hour or two after milk
ing in the evening, provided it Is
not wet. When damp II will bloat
COWS, and If cows eat It shortly be-
fore milking, the milk is liable TO be
tainted.
therefore 1t is desirable mainly
Tor hog pasture or for sheep, where
the farmer knows how to use Il
For this last purpose, however, 1t is
better to SOW it with spring grain
after 1t IS two or three inches high,
and then use 1t as a pasture after
harvest. In your planning, do not
forget to inquire whether YOU could
use two or three acres OF rape to
advantage

w. Toney, brought in verdict of
mot guilty" this afternoon at 6
O'Clock scenes seldom witnessed were
enacted in the Bibb Superior Court.
The moment the verdict was read
Mrs. Garrison reached for her hus-
, band, embraced him before he had
risen from his seat, and the throngs
OF people were stopped till the
court could be adjourned for the day.
When judge FELTON, thanked the
twelve men, then the congratulations
began. The jurors filed i'm and shook
tHP accused mans hands. The
crowds came and held Garrison for
an hour. Some Of the elated friends
shook hands with Judge FELTON, and
thanked him for what they termed
an impartial presidency at the trial.
The jury was out thirty-fve min
utes. Every man was for acQuittal.
Judge John Ross was as roundly
shaken by the hand as was Garrison,
Both he and Solicitor General Grace
were at their best in the case, and
harder legal battle has seldom been
witnessed here

proposes to bar the members of the

took up a large part of the meeting of
