New svatam Of TOWING.

Tests Of a new towing system In
vented by a German government en-
gineer, Herr Koss, have been recent.
" made on the Hiltrup section Il IS
miles in length Of the Dortmund Ems
canal An elastic rail Is laid at the
bottom Of the canal. and the tugboat
carries at its bottom four rollers
which clasp the rail. These rollers
are operated from the boat which Is
thus propelled. A large economy Of
power is claimed for this method. The
experimental tug is worked by cleo.
tricity, the energy being obtained
through cable from an auxiliary
boat equipped with e dynamo. This,
however, Is only q provisional ar
rangement, and IN ordinary working
a trolley wire would be installed
alongside the canal. Electrical opera
tion can obviously be replaced By
crude oil motors. etc., each barge be-
ing fitted with set Of rollers acting

Attack Made on New Insurance
Law.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. %. Three
days after Gov. Brown signed his
name to the general insurance bill,
making it a state law, a suit was
fled in the superior court Of Fulton
county. seeking to annual probably
the most important paragraph in the
measure on the ground that it is un-
constitutional.
The test suit, filed Thursday by
Attorneys Payne & Jones, is styled
Frank w. Leonard VS.. American
Life and Annuity Company, a Geor-
gia insurance company.
Mr.. Leonard claims that heholds
contract with the company to Sc
cure for it special policyholders,
men who agree to look after certain
details in their respective commune
ties for the insurance company,
thereby gaining rebate out of a
special fund on the money they
woulp pay the company as premi-
ums on an insurance policy.
These policies were termed spe-
cial contracts" in the suit, and 'spe-
eial contracts" are prohibited in
section 90 of the new insurance law,
on the ground that they are dis
criminatory policies were prohibited
in previous section.
Leonard claims to have the ex-
elusive right to secure these special
contracts for the company in the
state Of Georgia for 2 years, begin.
ming Sept. 1 Of last year.
He alleges that the Company has
threatened to discontinue accepting
the special contracts" which he
furnishes it, on the ground that it
can not accept them without violat-
ing the new law.
Leonard contends that the COM
pany is bound BY its agreement with
him to accept the special contracts.
and prays the court for permanent
injunction restraining the company
from not taking the special con-
tracts.
Judge George L. Bell Of the supe-
rior court has ordered reinsurance
company to show cause on Sept. 2
why the permanent injunction
should not be granted.
If the injunction is granted the
general insurance bill, which caused
such fight in both houses Of the
general assembly, will be practically
void Macon News.

FLOWING IA
ACRES AN HOUR

AT Purdue University there was re-
Gently tested gang plow that plows
fifty burrows at one time. This huge
machine is drawn by three traction
engines run by oil motors and the fuel
cost for plowing an acre is said to be
not over seven cents.
The fifty plows makes a cut of al
most sixty fee and as a speed of two
miles an hour is made, this gives an
output of about fourteen acres an
hour The plows are arranged so they
can each rise and fall to a certain ex-
tent to allow for reasonable inequali-
ties of the ground. They are also pro-
yided with running-board in front,
and four men stationed on this board
manipulate the levers so as to keep
the plows adjusted for the proper
depth of cut, etc.
Even with this machine, however,
the cost of plowing an acre is consid-
erable when the wages of the seven
men to- run it, the oil, the wear and
tear and the interest on the large in
YeStment are counted.

Mr.. Laning was 81 years old and
was a native of this city. In early
life he was engaged in farming at
Silver Lake. about miles out of

He engaged in tomato packing
putting up the Silver Lake. brand
which became very popular Later in
connection with the late Frank C.
Probasco, he engaged more extensively
in the packing business. the firm being

extensive plant on Water street. which
family became the plant of VIM.

with him his SOC, VIM. T. Laning,
and the plant and the business became

This packing plant has been in
existence now for many years and has

ployees many thousands of dollars for
products of tomatoes, pears and pump
kins and to the employees for labor.

a man of stirling integrity. He was a
communicant of the Deerfield Presby-

1t was a beautiful sight we saw
first we came to the edge of the Maur-
ice River. Oyster boats of every va
riety were just sailing in from the
| beds after busy day. Many of them
were big, graceful schooner-rigged
boats; and as they tackled back and
forth across the river in the slant OF
a freshening breeze they presented a
spectacle seldom seen by the lands
man--especially in mid-winter Each
boat was loaded to its capacity with
either oysters or clans. AS they
reached their mooring places they
dropped into position with a great
clatter of rigging and tapping of sails
We were afforded a splendid first i'm
preston of the place.

was still smiling. THAT was Mr.. K.

Then follows a very accurate de-
scription of the great oyster industry
in South Jersey and Cumberland
County particularly. The vast capital
invested in the business is recalled
and the method of taking, planting and
finally catching and marketing oysters
is discussed in all it's phases. The
matter of attening oysters is techni-
cally described and some reference is
made to the recent examinations by

touch with the trade personally. by

came to town, however, we are much
better off in that respect. We can
