subject was sent out from Savannah
When the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic railroad is offered for
sale to satisfy bond holders it will be
bid in by a group of present stock
holders. A railroad official who
knows what he is talking about made
this statement in Savannah last
night.
This official is closely identified
with the interests that have been in
control of the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic, and he declares that all
the necessary arrangements for buy

by some of the men who now own
large blocks of the stock. That the
interests in control of the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic at present
desire to retain tn control of such
a valuable property can be readily
The roads taps a rich
section, and can be made to pay good
dividends. This is the reason, it is
stated, that tempted the group of
stockholders to decide to buy the
property when it is offered for sale
at auction.
In the last few days there have
been persistent rumors that the ILL

The modern practice among the best
eosted and most progressive horse owners
and farmers is to clip all horses in the
spr1ng. 1t is done On the theory that in
their natural state horses were not obliged
10 work, so could shed the winter coat in
comfort over a period of several weeks.
since we oblige them to do hard work on
warm spring days, the winter coat should
be removed for the same reason that We
lay off our heavy winter garments. Clipped
horses dry off rapidly, hence they do not
sake cold as easily nor are they as prone
20 be affected with other ailments as Tn
clipped animals whose longer hair holds
the perspiration for hours. Because clipped
horses dry off rapidly they rest better, get
more good from their food and come out
IN the morning refreshed and fit for work.
Since the advent of the ball bearing en-
closed gear clipping machine, the work of
taking off the winter coat is easy. With
the machine a horse can be clipped all over
in half an hour, whereas with the old two
hand clipper it required several hours to
DO it.
Dairymen also now clip the COWS all
over two or three times a year. Tn TANKS
and udders are clipped every three or four
weeks, so it is easy to clean t,,e parts be-
lore milking. This means less opportunity
for dirt and other impurities TO get into
aue milk.

Pierre.-Judge II. G. Barlow, who
has been boosting his Great Plains
Irrigation association" for the past
year in season and out of season, is
beginning to gradually show the eff
fects of his persistence. About a year
ago ne began the agitation Of the plan
of taking food waters from the Mis-
sour river at about the mouth Of the
Yellowstone and bringing it across the
c~ountryt TO a point on White river near
the mouth of the stream. It was a big
plan. and has been looked upon as the
plan Of a visionary, but the visionary
theorist has kept pegging away and
is securing more and more encour-
agemeut in his preliminary organiza-
ton which has for its purpose the
making of surveys and gathering the
material TO show that the scheme is
not only practical, but feasible from
an engineering and financial stand
point. He is continually holding meet
ings at different points which might
be interested. a late one at Fort Pierre
gaining him recruits at that point,
who were not in harmony with the
project a year ago, because they did
not feel that it was a plan which
would work. His plan is a big one
and if he can carry it out. or secure
chinery" for its carrying out, he will
help to revolutioniZe the western part
of South Dakota.

main point Of interest developed when

vestigatc the charges made on the
floor OF the house by Representative

A. Farmer as his representative. had
agreed to secure a repeal of the law
requiring statements, for which they
were to receive a contingent fee equal
to one years savings to the Compa-
MES, or about $50 BY a Coinci-
dence the insurance committee of
both houses and one member intro
duced bills at about the am time for
this and the charge coming
as it did was a cause of indignation TO
the members of the two committees,
and they took it as a reflection upon
themselves and demanded an investi-
CATION. Among the principal witnesses
before the committee were {. j. Nc
Leod. of the Aberdeen News, and c.
N. Day of the Sioux Falls Argus
leader. who came with a number of
letters to different companies from
the parties interested soliciting their
entering into such agreement, with
a provision Of no pay unless they
co I'D deliver. Representative Granger
bases his statements on these letters,
buy il is not charged that any OF the
members of the committee were a
party TO the deal.

The first serious. effort to repeal the
initiated Richards primary law came
upCn the floor Of the senate with the
supporters of the bill in no way spar
ing in the criticism of that law, in
whiHh they charged that il would be
utterly impossible to work under 1t.
Richards was an interested spectator
in the senate gallery and was pleased
at tie result when the roll call showed
but seven votes in favor of the bill.

fereIt departments of the state IN re

noon It was common talk that a mes
sage would come in asking that the
CONN ittee be continued after the ses-
sion and an appropriation asked for
that purpose. Russell saw an oppor-
tunitE to get in his resolution first.
Norbeck was in the game himself and
opposed the Russell resolution, and
after q contest it went over until the
next day.
