USEFUL INFORMATION.

A pamphlet containing Information
which should be Of the greatest interest
and practical nenefit to the farmers OF
the south and which may be had for
the asking, has Just been issued by the
Land and Industrial Department OF
the Southern Railway. The pamphlet
treats OF THE use OF Lime on Land,
and tells OF the great benefits to be de-
rived in this way. Quotations are
given from agricultural authorities and
from bulletins issued by the United
States Department OF Agriculture and
various state departments, telling on
what kind OF land lime should be used,
for what crops it will bring the best re-
suits, and how it should be applied.
For improving sour soils such as are
found in many parts OF the south,
agricultural authorities agree that there
i nothing so beneficial as lime since
with the aid OF leguminous plants it
'nables the soil TO draw from the
atmosphere the nitrogen so necessary
as pptfst fsod. The large deposits Of

sTIMsON,S FEES.

Slowly the facts are coming out con-
cerning the fees paid to Henry l.. Stim-
son, for governor of New York, in
the Morse and sugar prosecutions as
special counsel after he had resigned
his post as Uuted States District At
torney.
Mr.. Stimson was paid not only
$59. 900 !or representing the govern
ment as special counsel, but in all
$40, 1852.
When the department made It's first
estimate Of $59, 900 an honest error was
committed in the Department ofJustice
and the amount paid him in the Morse
case was given as 81 900 on September
E3O. As matter OF fact he received
50 900 in the Morse case and has not
corrected the error in his speeches be-
| fore the voters.
All told, the government has paidion
account OF the prosecutions by Mr.
Stimson, covering the period from
August 7, 1909, to September 27, 1910,
the sum Of $S7, $685. OF this amount
IS, 5000 was paid to his three as.

John ]. Smythe, who, on September
1 shot and killed his wife, Bridget
Smythe, and Rita May Smythe' a
young daughter, in Norfolk, was yes
terday morning placed on trial for his
life in the Corporation Court, OF that
city and at 4:95 O'Clock yesterday al
ternoon the jury returned verdict OF
murder in the first degree.
Counsel for the prisoner made mo-
ton on the usual grounds for the set
ting aside OF the verdict, and it will be
argued on Friday.
Smythe, a bartender. after leaving
home for his place OF employment
early in the morning, returned at
breakfast time and opened fire on hls
wife. The daughter ran in between
her father and mother to protect the
latter and was shot dead.
Alcoholic insanity was the defense
OF Smythe, but Commonwealth At
torney Tilton introduced evidence to
show that the murder was the result
Of Smythe's infatuation for Julia Sulli-
van, his wife's sister.
Smythe attempted to send several
notes to Miss Sullivan from the jail.
He asked her to get him a razor and
a drug, with which he might end his
life in case OF his conviction and ina
bility to break out.
William Henry Smythe, an o-year-
old son OF the prisoner. was the prln-
cipal witness against him. Smythe
was tried only for the murder OF his

aTORHg IN ITALY.

The island OF Ischia, in the Mediter-
ranean sea. 16 miles southwest OF the
city OF Naples, has been storm swept.
First reports reaching Naples gave q
very considerable loss Of life from a
tidal wave. but the latest reports indi-
cate that the victims are few. a
Naples suffered from furious storm
Of wind and rain Sunday night
and all yesterday the damage amount
ing to millions. Every section OF the
city bears the marks OF the gale, and
the suburbs were even more seriously
affected, several persons being killed.
The surrounding country has been de-
vastatsd, great quantities OF grapes, trees
walls and parts Of houses being scat
tered about in all directions.
An avalanche OF stone and mud
rushed down Mount Vesuvius above
the lava line OF the eruption OF 1906.
1t swept all before it as far as the town
Of Portici. It wrecked the tram line
and engulfed nearly a score OF victims.
Ischia is in the direct path OF the
hurricane which toppled over the
houses in Casamicciola and other
villages. After the earthquake in 1888
these places were rebuilt with the very
thinnest houses, which, while admir-
ably calculated to resist earthquakes,
we're unable to withstand the violence
OF the recent storm.
While it is believed that there are
some bodies under the debris, the very
fiimsy nature OF the structures probably
permitted most Of the occupants to
escape death or serious injury.
There i, much anxiety here, how
ever, as many residents OF Naples
went to Ischia to escape the cholera.
The Italian ministry Of the interior
yesterday evening received word OF a
tidal wave at Casamicciola, on the
Island of Ischia, that drowned 20C
| persons. Communication with the
island has been interrupted and yerifica
ton of the report is impossible.

IRON ORE POCKET.
West Gardiner Man Believes no Has
Found One Of Value.

I. M. LinneIl, resident Of Spear .
Corner. West Gardiner, believes ne hds
made an important discovery in locat-
ing a large pocket of iron ore. For ~
wears or more Mr. Linnell was a resi-
dent of the West, much of this time De-
ing spent in and about the iron regions
of Minnesota and Michigan lie AT the
present time, is largely Interested IN
land now producing ore in the famous
Masaba range region. Mr.. Linnell, lot
the past two years, has been using ms
knowledge of iron ore and the eh'H-
onment in which it is always 1ound'
and has been exploring d1nerent sec
tions of the State, and has at last 10
Gated a body of ore, SO situated tfiat
the working of the mine would pc very
favorable. The ore is known as rat
ore, and is of high commercial Vaiue'
The late Professor Robinson OF 30" :
do;n made an analysis OF the ore anu
found II to contain 80 per cent. IRON.
prof. Robinson had planned to accom-
many Mr.. Linnell to the location TOT
further investigation. State Geologist
KNIGHT of Bangor under date OF June
~ 1910 writes that the analysis proves
tho ORG to be of high grade ana hearti-
w advises further prospecting TO ascer-
tain the size of the deposit. Two prom
;nent assayers of Duluth, Minnesota re-
port the samples sent them to contain
a. and AZ per cent. of iron. Mr. Llhneii
is now at work obtaining 'm'nerai
rights" to the land and as soon as
these are obtained will announce the
location of the deposit. He however
saws that it is near good shipping "a
cilities. Many people are skeptical as
to ore of commercial value being found
in this State, but it is we'll to remem-
Der that even the U. s. Biologists IN
1878 reported adversely regarding It's pe-
ing found in Minnesota and that state
is now producing more ore than any
other state in the Union. On the Mas
aba range are some of the largest bod
les of iron ore in the world. Some OF
these pockets contain from to 6 mil
| lion tons of ore and sold in 1905 for 81
per ton in the ground. Mr.. Linnell pre-
diets that the State of Maine will soon
he shipping ore. Samples may be seen
| by those interested at the Office of Will
c. Atkins in Gardiner.

Maine is just beginning to realize
how great man is President Taft.
To be sure they have long admired
him but since the last weeks of the

growing in favor and strength. Maine
newspaper men note the public COM

has the modesty of Lincoln and
much of the great emancipator's quiet
