The Circus

How many or orr older readers can
remember back to the days when all
the circus shows travelled overland, OF
in other words, by wagons. Can you
remember of getting mp IN the early
morning hours and walking out from
town one, two or three miles to meet
the show coming inf And if perchance
you had oversight yourself how eagerly
you looked along the road for the ele-
plants tracks.
Circuses have changed greatly in
the last % years They have become
much larger and more elaborate, trav-
ell altogether nowadays by rail and dc
not stop at the small towns they used
TO make, but the old saw dust swell
remains the same The same stir OF
excitement still attends the arriva
of the circus, as in the olden days
! You may not notice IL for you hav,
changed and not the circus. The
younger generation feels toward the
circus of today just as you did q

For The Gardeners

Considerable trouble is being met
with by gardeners and people planting
cabbages, radishes, tnrnips. cauh
flower, and other plants belonging 10
this same group from small white
worms or maggots burrowing 10 the
roots and destroying them. These are
called cabbage root msggots and are
~ the larya fern, some very common
little flies about one-half as large ~
the ordinary house flies These adult
flies lay eggs around the roots OF
these plants which upon Matching
allow the voung larva OF maggots TO
feed upon the roots of cabbage roots,
etc.
The methods Of control IS not to all
ow the adult flies TO lay the eggs near
the roots of these plants hut nsing a
strong odored mixture which these
flies do not like. Pieces of tar paper
placed around the roots have been
used very successfully Another
means is to use an emultion of crued
carbolic acid hard soap one pound
or soft soap one quart dissolved in one
gallon OF boiling water. While still
hot add one pint OF crued carbolic
acid, which is thoroughly churned or
mixed until 1t IL IN complete emul
ion. This ought 70 bs diluted with
about thirty times its bulk OF water
and apply about half tea cup full {
the base OF the owbbage plants the day
after setting and repeat every ten days
until the middls OF the summer OF
until the insects are taken care OF. /
this solution is too strong add more
water. Csc the crued carbolic acA'
as il Is cheaper.
Soils containing lots Of manure ant
organic material is best liked 10y thes
flies as place 20 lay their eggs, sC
rich soils are largely more bisdl
effected than the poor soils A teas
poon full OF tobacco dust around th
plants is use vesy successfully by
large number OF people
For raishes sprinkle the same solu
tion along the rows about once wee
the odor drives away many of the file
that come TO lag their eggs there.
Some reportSthat plants covered b
cloths or any form of protection abor
the plant seem to drive the flies away
II this were successful, of course,
would be very good idea at least

LAYED FOR EXPENSES;
NOW DRAWING $4,000

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 21.-It is
never known to fail that just as soon
as man attains prominent position
in public life, people start to rake his
past. They're not contented until they
get something on him, either. You'll
always find some one who says, so
and so? Why, l remember when he
didn't have a shirt to his back" etc.
Well, John McGraw, manager of the
Giants, is no exception to the rule,
They say he is getting $4,000 a sea-
son for managing the Giants of New
York. If he is getting that sum he
didn't always get it. In fact, we have
proof down here that once he used to
play professional ball for nothing.
An old contract was unearthed here
few days ago, signed by McGraw
and five other players who were men,
bers of the Ocala Giants in 1891. The
document which is in the possession
of George K. Robinson, of Ocala, who
was manager of the Ocala Giants at
that time, was found among some old
papers. It is signed by McGraw
George Kurz, J. Connor, c. F. Thor9
Frank Stratton and Ed Mars. 1t reads
1--WE, the undersigned baseball play
ers and members of the Ocala Giants,

Washington, D. c., August 22.-
Federal Judge Emory Speer, of Geor
gia, charged with official misconduc

hearings that the committee may have
| to take evidence in the case. He tele
graphed today to Representative
Hughes, of Georgia. a lifelong FRIEND
and college classmate, asking that h.
arrange for his appearance at this
proper time Mr.. Hughes immediately
conferred with Chairman Clayton, O.
the committee, and later notified Judge
Speer that he would be permitted tn
be present with counsel.
A conference of the Georgia dele
CATION in the house for consideration
of the Speer case has been called for
tomorrow. The meeting will be held
at the capitol and all members of the
delegation except representatives
Roddenbery and Edwards, who are out
of the city, will attend. The purpose
is to consider what course the delegA-
ton should adopt in view of the chars 3
es made against a federal judge with,
in their state.
1t is likely that a subcommittee Of
two or three will be appointed to re.
view the charges before the commit
tee, right which Chairman Clayton
will accord. The subcommittee win
report to the delegation as to whethsc
the charges are sufficiently serious o
warrant action, which would probably
be in a form of a resolution to b..
offered in the house by one OF their
number to impeach the judge. Such a
resolution would be referred to the ju
dietary committee, which will resume
consideration of the department OF
justice report next Monday.

tcrney. leaves for Washington early this
morning for consultation with Congress
man Richmond Pearson Hobson. Mr..
Painter has been in charge In Jefferson
county of the preliminaries of the COM
ing Hobson campaign to wrest the sena-
torial toga from the shoulders of Joseph
II. Johnston. and goes to Washington
for conference with his chief on the
future plans of Congressman Hobson for
this county.
Mr.. Painter asserted before leaving that
he would do all he could to induce Mr..
Hobson to come to Birmingham on March
Is, to attend the Newspaper club BAN
quet. Mr.. Hobson has written me that
he would not be able to be in Birmng-
ham for the Press Dinner owing to the
extra session of Congress" he said, "but
/ believe that perhaps he may change
mis- mind after 1t has been impressed upon
him the Importance of his being in at
tendance at this great affair the news
paper boys of Birmingham are getting
up"
Contrary to current report, Mr.. Painter
does not expect an appointment in the
consular service and neither is he a candi-
date for such an appointment. He did
not deny. however. that the appointment
as a foreign attache to an embassy would
be pleasing to him. He will return from
Washington on Saturday.
