Questions and Answers
 Q. Last year my Japanese gold banded lilies bloomed beautifully but this year most of them died out and did no good. Could you suggest what caused this? Mrs. L., Florence.
 A. Too much manure, especially fresh manure, will nearly always xiii out the gold d-banded lily (iii.um auratum). This variety is particu- iarly sensitive but no lily bulb should come in direct contact with manure. This can be avoided by putting q little sand around the bulb and then rich soil and some we'll decayed manure next to sand Disease, of course, may cause trouble but then fresh manure generally promotes 1t. c. My tomatoes were not staked or trimmed but allowed to run around on the ground and they now cover the ground. They are too thick Would you advise pruning them now? M. ", Empire.
 A. It might be a good idea to re- move every other plant to let in air and light. It would be permissible to cut off some runners but make the cut above or beyond where the vine has taken root
 Q. If the early bunch blackeye peas are planted August 1. when ought they to commence to bear? J. J., Warrior.
 A. By the latter part of septem- Der.
 c. have a fine collection cf geraniums but the plants have been wintered over for two years, are very large and the bloom is not as large as 1t was at one time. Would you cut these old plants back and would it help them another year? Mrs. B. T., Route g.
 A. The best thing to do is take cuttings now, root them and then transfer to pots. These young plants would be at their best next year. It hardly pays to keep old plants in- definitely. New plants should be created every year from cuttings.
 o. My rubbers and palm plants don't seem to grow a particle. What could do to make them put on new growth? Mrs. C.
 A. Sponge off the foliage both top and bottom every two or three days, A little soap in the water now and then Is helpful. Dust is their worst enemy. Work in around each a little well decayed animal manure, pre- ferably sheep or COW manure. To- bacco dust is fine fertilizer for them.
 e. When do you plant tree seed? J. J.
 A. Generally speaking a short time after the seed mature or drop. Of course, much depends on variety. It requires long time for most tree seed to germInate
 Q. have two valuable shrubs that root lice are working on. What would be good thing to kill them out? Mrs. W.
 A. Remove a little soil from around them and loosen up the earth round about where they are working, then sprinkle around an ounce or two of bisulphide of carbon and pull dirt over promptly and firm down. This gas will kill but they may appear again. Sprinkling equal parts of lime and sulphur around naked roots and covering with dirt Is good repei- lent. Strong soapy water applied around next to the roots is often used to good effect.
 Q. My asters set out some time ago seem to be stunted and are not growing off as heretofore. What

Russell and Russell have good dancing and singing act, which mixed in with their new jokes and conversational chatter. make them one of the distinctive hits of the bill.
 Harry Watkins has an exceptional contortionist act. which he puts over in great style. aided by good line" of comedy talk.

 LOCKWOOD DANCES
 ATTRACT BIG CROWDS
 The surge towards Edgewood park continues of an evening as Wat sons Bell Hops crank up on their opening number tach night for the Dreamland dances.
 Manager Hugh Hill states that he has been in the amusement game for many years, but that he has never seen such crowds that are flock ing to Edgewood park before. He attributes the attendance and en- thusiasm in the dances to the marvellous music which is being pre- sented by the Bell Hops.
 They are far and away the most popular musicians I've ever had out at Edgewood park" said Manager Hill, "and its is uncanny to see the numerous eneores they get during one evening of dancing"

Gadsden, July 27.-(SpeciaI.)- Some 10 or 12 detectives of the Louis- Vile and Nashville railroad have been in this section for the past 24 hours trying to find some clues to the perpetrators of the whipping ad- ministered to Ed Slayton, a negro employe of that road in Attalia. near here.

 Washington, July 27,--(spe-

 pIiedt
 "some time in September"
 Senator Watson of Indiana. ad- mlnistratlon leader, declares that the Senate will have completed it's work September 1.

 May Continue Recess
 The House recessed to reconvene August Is for the purpose of recelv- Ing from the Senate the tariff. It will reconvene while the tariff is still In the throes of a painful birth. The idea prevails that the House on reconvening will immediately again recess, or will enter into gentle mans agreement under the pro- vision of which three days adjourn ments will follow each other ad in- finitum.
 For the House is determined not to take up ship subsidy prior to the elections. For subsidy is admittedly of doubtful political expediency of the middle west, and Congress, on the eve of elections, has fine re- gard for expediency. Likewise :he House is apparently disinclined to dispose of Muscle Shoals. For that topic involves the farmers though 1t Is not certain in just what manner or particular, and the politicians would prefer the farmers quiescent.
 Ford offer Upheld
 At the same time. southern mem bers of the House will make play for action on the bid of Henry Ford No longer will the republicans have the excuse to offer that other and more important business presses. At the same time. their leader, Repre- sentative Mondell of Wyoming, can d.date for the Senate. Is resourceful, and the best bet that the House, with nothing to do," will again lay down its arms.
 If there is no tariff bill. as appears to be certain, before another session of Congress, there may never be, for If the elections return a democratic House, sufficient delay could be se- cured to throw the vote on the con ference report until March 1. At that time the report would be defeated with the result that the Underwood bill would continue to prevail.
