H JA S Godfrey Barnsley Collect!«» Unïnetsily ef Georgia All Steel Frame Cut-off Saw. Style 64 represents our latest design of Steel Frame Swing Cut-off Saw. FRAME—Is constructed of 3-inch steel tee beams firmly bridled together at the top by a heavy cast-iron cross, and at the bottom by the yoke bearing for saw arbor. The castings are well fitted and riveted to the beams, making in all the stiff est possible form of frame and eliminating any chance of spring or twist. THE FRAME—Swings on large steel studs secured to the hangers. These studs carry the entire weight of the swinging frame and relieve the counter-shaft of all unnecessary strain; in fact, the countershaft can be placed in position after the frame is up, and can be adjusted or removed at will. COUNTERSHAFT is made of best quality of steel and is provided with ~self-otlirig- 't>éarîngs~~and "adjustable hangers. SAW ARBOR is made of steel best adapted to the purpose, and runs in self- oiling bearings of the best type. THE EQUALIZING WEIGHT is so arranged and adjusted as to assist the operator to make a quick cut, after which it returns the saw to its proper position. A FEATURE found in no other swing cut-off is the automatic tighten ing of the belt. When the saw is at the extreme backward position the belt is scarcely tight enough to pull the saw, and as the saw comes forward and the cut gets heavier the belt gradually tightens automatically.

"TfTACT SJ£ 2. 2.2.1 TG flcfiis IN wco.es Complimenta of tljc Company anD îtato Atlanta, ö5a, COUNTY SUB-ORGANIZATIONS. IN ORDER TO MAKE A SUCCESS OF THE MOVEMENT RECENTLY INAUGURATED IN BEHALF OF THE COTTON Growers of the South, it is imperative that united concert of action be promptly secured on the part of all the people of the South who want to see the farmers prosperous and independent. The Cotton Planters Protective Association of Georgia has been fully organized, and its officers are now actively at work pushing the movement in other cotton growing slates, and into each cdunty in this state. The plan of the State association provides for a sub-organization in each county or militia district, witha pres ident, vice-president, secretary and treasurer, and executive committee, who are to have charge of the. locsil features of the work. The sub-organizations are a branch of the state association, a«d their members will constitute the membership of the state associa tion, which will be expected to meet together in annual convention each year to fix and control the general affairs of the association. The membership of the sub-organizations will not be restricted in number or limited to any particular trade or profession. Pri marily the object of the movement is to advance the material welfare of the fanner, but secondarily every avocation in which our Southern people are engaged will be correspondingly benefitted. Every man who is willing to put his shoulder to the wheel and help in the work is entitled to membership. Farmers, Bankers, Merchants, AVarehousemen, ginners and others are earnestly re- attested to come together at once and perfect the sub organization of their county. OBJECT OF MOVEMENT. The object of the movement is plain, simple and practical. It is first to obtain correct, ttatistical ini'o'/mation in regard""to the cotton crop through weekly reports from ginners throughout the cotton belt, and the local secretaries of the sub-organizations. In this way correct figures will be obtained showing the amount of cotton being prepared for market each week, and the probable amount of cotton that will be made during harvesting period. This information will cover facts, and will check the annual false es timates sent out by such men as Neil, who last season, caused the fanners of the South to lose over a hundred million dollars in the sale of their cotton at low prices. Secondly, to gather correct statistics showing the, amount of American cotton required by the ' world for consumption each year, the cost of converting a pound of cotton into cloth, and the price at which cotton goods are offered for sale. With a knowledge of the number of bales to be harvested each season and knowing the sm-mutof cotton required for consumption, the Association will be in possession of facts which will enable it to place a fair and just value on the raw material and break up speculation which is annually ruining the co_tton growers If the cotton buyer objects to paying a fair price for the cotton when offered for sale, warehouse and banking facilities will be secured to enable the producer to hold his cotton in storage if necessary, using his warehouse receipts to borrow money with which to pay his maturing obligations. If a farmer can hold his cotton at home, so much the better. A resolution was passed June 14th by the Bankers Convention at Lithia Springs, Ga., fully endorsing this movement and guaranteeing all the money necessary to enable the farmers to hold their cotton. MILLS SHORT OF SUPPLIES. There will be no surplus from the last crop to be carrried over to effect the demand for the present growing crop next season. The mills in all parts of the world are running short of supplies, and must come actively in the market at the opening of the season to keep their machinery going. The demand for cotton goods is heavier than ever known before, and prices correspondingly higher. There is no reason why the next crop, even if twelve million bales be harvested, should not sell for nine cents before it leaves the producers'hands. The mills must have supplies, the producers have the raw material in their possession, and if the crop is har vested in a businesslike manner, and through a longer period of time, good prices will prevail and a profit be made on the business When the crop is forced on the market, and the twelve months' supply sold in ninety days, the buyers take advantage of the situa tion and pay their own prices. The cotton mills, in being forced to buy a twelve months' supply in three months, become specula tors, and must have a margin sufficiently large to meet any imaginary adverse fluctuation in the cotton goods market so many '."months ahead. Besides they must draw largely upon their «apital stock for investment in supplies which must for ninny months Hie idle. Storage and insurance must be paid, and all of these fixed charges and interest, on investment come out of the seller who " forced the sale. The mills would prefer to buy their stocks as needed, and pay a higher price than to buy at a low price on a spécu lât ive basis. •• WHAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED. The plan of marketing the cotton crop applies also to the cotton seed crop, and also to provide ways and mews of checking •cent heavy and unreasonable advance in bagging and ties by tlie Jute Bagging Trust. This association is to be a combination ihe recent All of the unite with „ „ ^ _ ^ ., -, ------ ..-.— .— . —-~~^ .,„..«. „.~ v..«.-», «...v» iitAuti^ii i^iir'ui rtîïitML nit- suu-orgaiiiza- tions. If only half a cent per pound is gained, it means a saving of thirty million dollars on a twelve million bale crop. But we will be able to get three or four cents more for the nevt crop if the movement succeeds, which will save the enormous sum of three ' hundred million dollars annually to the farmers of the south. If the fanners do not combine and stand firm at this time, they wiil most likely sell their cotton next fall at five and six cents again, certainly for a price considerably under its value. It will require funds to carry 0" the officiai work of the association, in obtaining the statistical information needed, and to otherwise push the movement to success. The association has levied an assessment of fifty dollars on each county with less than one huddved members and one hundred dollars on counties with one hundred members or more. -Every county should secure a membership of five hun dred. This would reduce the annual assessment this year to twenty cents, which is nothing compared to a gain of ten to fifteen dollars on each bale sold. There should be no hesitation about uniting actively in this,.work. It is the only way in which we can control the prices of our cotton crop. The whole machinery of the. association is based entirely upon sound business principles, which have the sanction and endorsement of every business man who has studied the question. The hssociation has nothing what ever to do with politics, and its constitution emphatically prohibits the use of fhe. association for political purposes. County assess- oppression of the speculator should be satisfied with five cent cotton, and make no k'ick against low prices being offered him for his products. United concert of action will make the movement a grand success, increase our money product millions of dollars in value end I believe the whole people of the south are, ready for it, and will stand-together firm and determined to support the asso ciation in the work which it has undertaken. The president, of the association guarantees success if the farmers will endorse and strengthen him in his efforts to upbuild and advance the-agricultural interests of the south.

Hot Shot From the Word Go—Editor Shown to be a "Lazy, Cowardly, Lying Scoundrel"—Probably Led into Error and Falsehood by a Statesman (?) of "Blemished Record." [Frf-m Gaiutsville Eagle, July 5, 1000.] GAINESVILLH, June 30, 1900. EDITOR OF EACHLB : In my reply to Lawrenceville News two weeks ago I denounced its editor as a "lying scoundrel" because of certain false insiimatioiM he had made against my record as Attorney- General of Georgia under Governor Bullock's administration. I de manded that he produce the facts upon which he based his charges, , or, if on proper investigation he found he had done me injustice, then that he withdraw his charges, telling him that if he had no facts upon which to base his charges and had not the moral courage to make proper amende,then he was a "lying scoundrel." In his reply to my de nunciation he hag shown that he is not only a "lying scoundrel" but a "cowardly lying scounftrel." In stead of going to the "official record," under my demand for him to "show up," withdraw, or fight, he contents himself with saying there is no record. Instead of with drawing charges he could not sus tain he contents himself with asking me certain questions, thereby charg ing that the things inquired about had been done by me. He should have remembered that when one gentleman denounces another as a "lying scoundrel" that usually closes the controversy, and can be followed by nothing but a corre spondence looking to either an ad justment or a fight. But wishing to give the cowardly lying scoundrel all the rope he calls for, and being perfectly willing to render him any assistance in gaining information about a period of Georgia's history of which he seems to be shamefully ignorant, I will waive the disability he has brought upon himself by his cowardice and will answer his ques tions. His main charge is conveyed in the following words: "Did he ad vise that the millions of fraudulent bonds issued by Bullock's direction, and which were afterwards repudi ated by the Sfaföj rihoulJ ^ «floaj- ed"? My answer is, XEVBE in any manner, shape, or form. This "cowardly lying scoundrel" of an editor has never searched the record, is too lazy to do so, or he would know that, I am as innocent of this charge as an unborn babe. There is a peculiarly interesting chapter of history right in here which if this editor had been an honorable man, and had not been too lazy to search the record, he would have found, and which has never been given to the public. Bob Toombs' vigilance committee, or investigating committee, whichever it might be called, ought to have "fished it up," but they did not. This lazy, cow ardly, lying scoundrel of an editor down here at Lawrenceville could get at it, instead, of saying "there is no record," if lie were not a con temptible dog, .destitute of every sense of justice and honor. I am proud of my record on this bond question and am able to give the lie flat-footed to this lazy cowardly lying scoundrel's insinuation. Suf fice it to say those bonds would never have "floated" in the shape they did but for their "flanking" the office of the Attorney-General of Georgia. Hecharges, in that same inquiring way, that 1 advised Governor Bul lock to appoint Hon. Foster Blod- gett to the position of superinten dent of the Western & Atlantic railroad, and one N. P. Hatchkiss to the position of auditor of that road, and that they stole all the earnings of the road, and in so charging he lies again out of whole cloth. The papers upon which these appointments were made were filed in, the Executive office, are there now (or ought to be), and my nair.^ » KOI ou them. I j-egardp" Foster ßlodgett as an honest man, and though he has been dead for about twenty-five" years, I cherish fond memories of him. I never knew him to tell a lie or do a dis honorable thing, and that is more than I can .say for some editors. But, notwithstanding the personal friendship between us, I did all in my power to prevent his being ap pointed to supersede Col. Ed Hurl- bert as superintendent of the Wes tern & Atlantic railroad. While in some respects he was a very superior man, and in some spheres of duty could become a Napoleon, yet there were other spheres of duty for which he was not so well adapted. And I feared he was unfit for the superintendency of one of the most important railroads in the South, never having had any railroad expe rience. Though his friend, I could not and did not even acquiesce in the change, but fought it to the last. Hurlbert was a success as superintendent of the road and was paying into the Treasury of the State the round sum of one thousand dollars every day, and Sunday too. Taxation was then lighter on the people than it has ever been since. I had honest convictions on the sub ject and ceuld not go to the support of my friend Blodgett. The truth is, I told those pressing me to sup port him that the change would ruin Governor Bullock's administration —and it did. And now twenty-five years afterwards this lazy cowardly lying scoundrel of an editor charges me with having advocated that change. ^nd worse still, this lazy cowardly lying scoundrel of an editor charges me with having supported one N. P. Ilotchkias for the office of audi— tor of that road. If he had charged me with being present at the cruci fixion of Jesus Christ, and with participating in killing our Lord, it would not have surprised me more. I'm charged by this striped hyena with helping to put in office this man Hotchkiss, who went into bankruptcy down about Morgan or Green county somewhere, and as soon as he got through the bankrupt court came .up to Atlanta and was appointed auditor of the W. & A. railroad, a»d then three years after wards swore before Bob Toonibs' vigilance or investigating committee that he came there without a dollar, became auditor at $4,000 per an num, had supported a large family and educated his children, and had after meeting all the expenses of his large family saved enough out of that four thousand dollar salary to purchase several three-story build ings on Whitehall and Mitchell streets, in Atlanta, worth at that time over $50,000. Bob Toombs then asked him how he could do all that out of $4,000 salary in three years, and his reply was, "By the exercise of the most rigid economy." Bob Toombs is said to have fainted, and this man Hotchkiss was told he could go—and he kept going till he turned the Rocky Mountains. That is the hardest thing that nasty little editor has said about me—un less it be the charge he makes that I advised some of these same men to "flee the realm." I never in my life advised a man to run. If there is anything that I despise above all things on earth it is a coward with breeches on. There were quite a number who lied from the State, but none of them fled by my advioe or with my approvaO When Governor Bullock ' came back after resigning the Governor ship and fleeing the State he was tried under the wild indictments that had been obtained against him, and not one scintilla of evidence could be presented against him and he was triumphantly acquitted of every charge. Governor Brown swore on the trial that Gov. Bullock did right to leave the State at that time; that he could not at that time have gotten justice in the courts. No,-sir! I advised no man to flee the country. Some of tkese men who were in trouble consulted me, and my advice to them was, if they had stolen anything, to go on and make restitution and thank the De mocracy for any leniency received, but if they had not stolen anything, then if there was an effort to rob them of their character, just simply pick out the man in each case who was most instrumental in the effort to destroy them, and then fix a limit in their own minds as to how far they would be permitted to go, and when that limit or dead line was reached, to take their gun and shoot down their chief persecutor and continue to shoot through him as long as his hearts throbbed, and then having done their work well, turn to the civil authorities and sur render and tell them to hang and be d—d. That was my advice, and one of the parties so advised went promptly and paid up $1,600, or about that amount. That soon be came publicly known as my position, and there was no dead-line crossed in efforts to rob me of my charac ter; they found out where to stop. So far as I was concerned it was well understood that there might be a funeral (and a hanging), but no foot-race. And now, thirty years afterwards I am charged by this nasty little skunk of an editor with advising these men to "flee the realm"! Who is this editor, anyhow? I have a copy of the News before me and see that his name is James A. Bagwell; but who is he?' He seems to know nothing about the history of those days—was he born since, or is he one of Gumbo's fools—"a d—d fool for want of sense?" I am told he ha» back in behind him (and clear out of sight) a fellow who "loads for him," and, if so, I wish he would step aside and have that fellow come to the front, for I do despise to have any intercouse with such a cowardly pup as this editor is. In conclusion I will add, it is never too late to do right, and this man can yet do the honorable thing by withdrawing his unjust attack against me, or by coming up out of the disgrace his cowardice has brought upon him by seeking per sonal satisfaction. No man who is so -cowardly that he can't fight when publicly denounced as a cowardly lying scoundrel will be respected in the community in which he lives, and this chap should either make proper amende, fight, or travel.

In responding to the inquiries made by our subscribers, as to the responsibility cf parties with whom they have business transactions, we experience frequent perplexity from an inability to give DEFINITE information as to pecuniary resources- and indebtedness. It is true we can give, and do give, the "impressions" prevailing upon these points, but the want of something beyond this very generally necessitates' a request for statements from the parties themselves. In fact so nearly universal •has the practice become that many dispensers of credit regard a refusal to comply with it as an unfavorable indication. We are well aware that it is a delicate matter to ask such an exposé of business affairs except as a safeguard in business transactions, but our disinterested position between buyer and seller, and the knowledge that we have no purpose in asking such statements except to answer the inquiries that are necessarily presented to us in the course of business understandingly and intelli gently, and also the fact that our responses are to those who have a legitimate and justifiable object in making such inquiries, will remove any objection arising from- this view of the matter. The object of THE MERCANTILE AGENCY is not alone to enable its patrons to avoid the hazardous and unsafe, but to strengthen' their confidence where confidence is deserved—in other words, to "promote "as well as to "protect" trade. A statement made by a person of respectability and probity carries with it much weight, and we are induced by these considerations to ask from all who are disposed to give it, a statement of assets and liabilities, as an important aid ; and that these may be of real use we suggest the annexed form as one containing the essential feature required. If this statement is filled up and transmitted to us it will be promptly inserted in the records of the offices interested. Respectfully yours, R. G. DUN & CO. STATEMENT FORM B.

The following strong resolutions were passed by the Georgia Bankers Association during their recent convention held at Lithia Springs Ga., June 14th I9ÔÔ. "WHEREAS, The Southern Cotton Growers Protective Association, recently organized at Macon, Ga., has been accorded a hearing, through its President, Mr. Harvie Jordan, and the objects and aims of said Association, as explained by him, relieve it of ail objectional features, therefore be it Resolved by the Georgia Bankers Associa tion, That we are in full sympathy with all associations that -have in view the promotion of the best interests of the planters of Georgia. Resolved 2nd. That \ve recognize the interest of the planters and of the state and its banks to be identical, and we Georgia bankers commit ourselves fully to as liberal a support of the planting interest of the state as circumstances will justify. - Resolved further, That we express our willingness and ability to .advance to the planters of Georgia three fourths of the market value of their cotton, taking as collateral therefor, proper warehouse re ceipts." These resolutions were signed by Colonel T. B. Neal, as chairman, and Captain J. A. Davis and H. -G. Crane. The resolutions, were unanimously adopted. With the strong financial backing of our banks, the cotton crop can be marketed through a longer period of time, good prices will be maintained, and speculators will no longer be in control of the cotton market.

V., OF LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, HELD MAY 23, 1900. Comrade Robert W. Bingham, securing the floor, withdrew from the race for Commander-in- Chief, in a speech replete with eloquence, in favor of Comrade Biscoe Hindman, whom we nominated therefor on the igth instant. This incident evoked a rousing demonstration of approval. Thereupon, Comrade Thos. C. Hindman, after a few prefatory remarks in the interest of har mony, addressed the house as follows : "I propose, Mr. Commandant, that we rise to our feet and give three cheers for the manly course of Comrade Bingham, in commendation of his allegiance to the time-honored custom prevailing in the South of bowing to the will of the majority, and also expressive of our endorsement of the motto of this grand old Commonwealth—'United we stand; divided" we" ' fall.'" The said motion received a chorus of seconds and was carried into effect unanimously. An ovation to Comrade Bingham ensued, during which Comrade Thos. C. Hindman, rushing forward to him, pinned a campaign button of our candidate for that office on his coat, which he gracefully accepted amidst tumultuous applause, pledging his influence and unqualified support for its repre sentative. Comrade Biscoe Hindman then feelingly referred to the reconciliation mentioned, con cluding with a glowing tribute to Comrade Bingham. The meeting was a veritable "love-feast," and will be ever remembered by this Camp, as tending to obliterate every vestige of factional strife among us and to foster that spirit of fraternity which was contemplated by the founders of our organization.

The herein described valve is fast becoming a general favorite, and Its merits are as follows: FIRST—It is an extra heavy valve throughout. The bonnet screws on the outside of the throat of valve, thereby giving ample room to use any size of wrench when removing the same from body, without iuterfering with packing nut and otherwise defacing the hexagons. SECOND— Special care h.as been taken in strengthening the bridge wall and also the necks of our valves, to prevent straining when placing or removing the same from pipes. THIRD—T his valve is also arranged so that it can be packed under pressure, and therefore should always be used when a throttle valve is wanted, or on any line of pipe where it would be inconvenient to shut off the pressure. By simply opening the valve wide it shuts off all steam or pressure of any sort from the upper part of valve stem, thereby enabling the user to pack the same without any trouble. FOURTH—We wish to call your attention to the interchangeable sleeve in the bonnet. By this simple arrangement, no matter how often the thread in bonnet that guides the valve stem becomes stripped, the said bonnet remains uninjured, and the valve in this case is repaired by simply replacing sleeve or stem or both, as the case may require. These are furnished in brass, bronze, copper and white metal, and are placed to the trade at a small cost, and remember the few cents required for new parts means to you the saving of the cost of new valves, also the time, trouble and cost of their remc tal, s_ch . s breakage of pipes, nipples, unions and joints, and we are sure you know what that meanb. Al. of this oan be easily avoided by adopting tho Huxley Valve. For after this valve has once been placed on Jie pipe, it need never be removed on account of leakage, stripped or broken stems. No special tools or machinery being required; a common wrench is the only tool needed to repair them right in place. SIXTH—Another reason why the Huxley Valve should be adopted is that the disc-holder Is so con structed that any kind of a metal disc, either brass, bronze, copper, white metal vulcanized rubber or eather can be used, as the case may require, and it stands at the head of the list as the quickest intêr- :hangeable disc on the market. SEVENTH- Great pains have been taken in perfecting the patterns to have the shell and bridge-wall if a uniform and sufficient thickness to easily withstand any pressure intended for them to carry. PRICE LIST: GLOBE AND ANGLE VALVES. WHY THE HUXLEY VALVE SHOULD BE ADOPTED BECAUSE. It proves where used a general favorite. It is extra heavy throughout. It has the heaviest bridge-wall of any valve on the market. It can be packed under pressure. It has an interchangeable sleeve in bonnet. Stripped threads on stern or bonnet does not injure it, as the sleeve to guide the stern can be removed any number of times. It has an interchangeable seat. , It has an interchangeable disc.

It is in the bigbest degree important that every cultivator of trees should understand the art of transplanting, as upon this operation depends, in a great measure, their feebleness of vigor afterwards, their sluggish or thrifty growth, and indeed, vitality itself. We give a few important instructions that, if strictly followed, will insure to the purchaser of healthy stock the desired result of his investment. These suggestions must of necessity be brief and will, of course, be of more use to the amateur tree planter than to those who have for years been planting extensively, and who have learned the best methods to be pursued. CARE OF TREES ON ARRIVAL. As soon as you get your trees home, AT ONCE open them, shaking out all moss, packing, etc. If there is a package tied up in burlaps, separate it from the rest of the bundle (as it contains berry plants, grape vines, roses or other ornamental stock, and should be kept separate from the trees, and treated as directed further on in these hints.) Now take your trees and dip the roots in thin mud, prepared by stirring EICH soil into half a barrel of water; then heel in, having a trench dug about one foot deep, with the earth thrown all on one side of the trench, placing the trees after opening the bundle in a slanting position, with the stems leaning against the bank of earth that was thrown out in digging the trench. Then cover the roots and a foot up the bodies of the trees with well pulverized soil, taking care to fill and work and PRESS the earth FIKMI/T among and about and between the roots. If soil is at all dry, water well when three-fourths covered ; AFTEB water soaks away, finish covering. Don't expose roots to sun, air or wind; an hour's exposure to wind, even if not freezing, will often, kill the roots. Trees Frozen in the packages, or received during FROSTY weather.—Place packages-• UNOPENED in a cellar, or some such place, COOL, but free from frost, uutil thawed perfectly. DON'T be in a hurry to open. They can remain in this condition for a week or two, if boxes are covered over with sawdust, earth, or something to exclude air. Then unpack, etc., as above. Treated thus, they will not be injured by freezing. "Trees Dead" (?)—If trees are miscarried or delayed so as to become dried or shriveled, and apparently dead, bury them in moist earth, cover them entirely over, pour on water, and keep them WET for a few days. When the tre'es are swollen and the bark appears fresh and bright, ab once plant. On opening your bundle of trees you will find each variety (when it consists of more than one tree) tied in a bunch by itself, and a label with name of variety on it. When opening preparatory to heeling in or when planting you should be very careful uct to mix varieties. Prepare the Land before stock arrives, taking great care to have a deep bed of mellow soil; it should be in as fine condition as fora crop of wheat, corn or potatoes. Well-drained land is essential. If there is, at any season, standing water on the ground, DBATN. PLANTING. In digging the holes place the top soil on one side of the hole, and the subsoil on the op posite side. Dig the holes from two to three feet in diameter and twelve to eighteen inches deep. Pill in the bottom of this hole with rich surface soil, making the bottom conical in shape (the highest in the center.) The trees should be taken but a few at a time from where they are heeled in, clipping them again in a very thin mud (as before heeling in,) protecting the roots while nut of the ground with wet burlaps or anything to keep off the wind and sun. Place the tree in the hole prepared as above, so that the roots can extend naturally ac cording to their original growth, carefully guarding against the roots being tangled or mat ted, fill in with fine mellow soil (no clods.) As soon as there has been dirt enough put in to somewhat cover the roots, pull the tree up and down gently, causing the earth to jolt into every little hole and cranny, then fill in and POUND down the earth as tightly as possible. The great secret of success is to see that there are no air spaces around the roots or un der the collar, aad that the soil is tramped, pounded or PBESSED AS FIBJILY ABOUND THK BOOTS as in setting a post, taking care not to biuise the roots. Plant ONLY when the soil will powder—not paste. The natural place for the roots of the trees is in the ground, so all unnecessary exposure to the air should be avoided. One hour's exposure in the hot sun. or drying wind, would be as sure death to some trees as putting the roots in a furnace. Par ticularly is this the case with evergreens, as their sap is of a resinous nature, which, when 'it becomes dried, cannot be restored to its normal condition, either by soaking in water or by any other means. No decaying matter or manure should be allowed to come in contact with the roots. If soil needs enriching you can use manure as a mulch on top of the ground after planting, to be worked into the soil by after cultivation. As a fertilizer to be mixed with the soil when planting there is nothing better than ground bone. Pruning.—A greater cause for failure than all others combined is neglect of proper, -which is usually insufficient, pruning at planting. In setting trees scarcely one person in fifty will prune as severely as should be done to insure the best growth and ultimate suc cess, for the reason that to do so causes the trees to look naked and unsightly. The proper pruning of a tree at the time of planting, and regularly thereafter, is essential. The first thing to be done is to cut off the ends of all bruised or broken roots with a sharp knife, as a clean cut will heal much sooner than a bruise. Next, if it be a standard tree for the orchard -apple, pear, plum, cherry, etc.,—trim it up to four or five limbs, suitable to form the top, and cut each of the side limbs back to a bud, four or five inches from the body of the tree, leaving the leader or center limb from eight to twelve inches long. When there are no side limbs suitable for this purpose, the tree should be divested of all its branches and headed back to a proper height to form the top ; cut back one-year-old peach trees to a single stem two or three feet high. In orchard planting of peach they should have every limb cut off smooth, close to the stem, and top cut back eighteen to twenty-two inches from the ground. Care should be taken to leave three or four well developed buds on main stem, just below where the top is cut off. The trees thus pruned look like a row of straight sticks stuck into the ground, and few people have the courage to cut them back as they should. Remember, however, that this class of trees, treated as above, will always make larger and better-shaped trees, even at the end of the first season, than if left with all their tops on. Have them to head low, as this protects the trunk from the sun. A tree does much better where its trunk is shaded by its branches, and it is a mistake in pruning to have the limbs high enough to walk or plow under. When the buds commence to grow out from the stem of the tree thus pruned, rub off all but three or four at the top, allowing only that many to grow, and tbe trees will make a well-formed, shapely head the first season. If the trees seem to be making too open a growth (not thick enough top) they can be easily thickened up by simply pinching off the -ends of the tender new growth occasionally during the first summer. Attend regularly every -spring to pruning and shortening the shoots of the previous year's growth. This keeps the head round, full, and well furnished with bearing wood. Cut weak shoots back about one- half and strong ones one-third. IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE BORNE IN mind that the fruit is -produced on wood of the last season's growth, and hence the necessity for keeping up a good «upply of vigorous annual shoots all over the tree. For other standard fruit trees, excepting the peach, the subsequent pruning consists chiefly in a judicious thinning of the branches and cutting back the disproportionate ones, so as to maintain au open head and symmetrical contour. Pruning should be done after severe freezing is over, and before the buds begin to open. Cultivation.—The cultivation should be such as to insure an abundance of light, heat, moisture and manure. It is necessary to keep trees of all kinds in a state of clean and annual cultivation while they are young, in order to secure the best results. All sown crops of grain or grass are very injurious. Orchards during the first three or four years may be cultivated in some hoed crop, as cotton, melons, potatoes, etc., where the whole surface is kept loose and mellow and free from weeds and grass by horse cultivation and the hoe. In plowing and cultivation, cave must be taken that the trees are not rubbed by chaius or single-tree, or the roots injured or disturbed. Cultivation in the orchard should cease about August 1. For Southern orchards, we recommend that when cultivation ceases the land be sown to cow peas, letting them grow the remainder of the season and die on the ground, and plow them in late in the winter. This will give additional fertility to the soil, and also serve a good purpose in shading the ground in the meantime. Fertilizing.—Well rotted manure and composts are always good for fruit trees, and should be plowed in shallow or worked into the soil with cultivator or harrow. Of commercial fertilizers we recommend (for the first years, while growth is wanted) those brands that are rich in ammonia and phosphoric acid; but after they commence bearing, fertilizers contain ing a larger per cent, of potash should be used.. Pure bone meal, hard-wood ashes and cot ton se«d hull ashes are all very desirable. Borers.—Trees are often injured by borers. To prevent the pareut moth from laying- eggs, apply to the trunk of the trees the last of April or early in May, and again a mouth later, a wash made as follows: Mix one quart of soft soap with two gallons of water, heated to boiling, and then add a pint of crude carbolic acid. Apply with a scrub brush or cloth. The presence of borers iu the trees can be very easily detected by a sawdust deposit and gum around the collar of the tree. In this case the borers should be cut out with a sharp-pointed knife, or punched to death in their holes with a flexible wire. The orchardist should guard against the depredations of rabbits and mice by keeping all weeds and grass away from the trunks of his trees, or (if rabits are very numerous) by tying up the trunks with heavy hard ware paper, split corn stalks, or anything that will protect them. Another plan is to wa°h the trees every fall with a solution of half a bushel of stone lime, one pound of glue and one pound of coperas. Time for Planting.—A tree transplanted in November or December will, by the ensuing spring have formed sufficient new roots to give it a firm hold in the ground, and will grow off rapidly when active vegetation commences. Trees can be transplanted as late here as March, and in some seasons until the first of April. Of course it is understood that north of this, planting is done earlier in the fall and later in the spring than here. In addition to the general directions we have given, which apply to all nursery stock, we offer the following special hints as applying to the several classes of plants named : -.-.... GRAPES. When received, open the bundles, puddle and heel in as directed for trees, spreading them out in thin layers, not over one inch thick. Planting.—When ready to plant, stake out the ground in rows, eight or niue feet apart, and six to ten feet in the row. Dig the holes about two feet wide and fifteen inches deep, loosening the earth thoroughly in the bottom, throwing in two or three inches of surface soil. Before the vines are taken to the field the tops should be cut back, so that when planted only two or three buds will be above ground, and the roots shortened to ten or twelve inches. Place twenty-five to fifty vines in a pail of water, taking one vine from the water at a time, so that none will get dry before planting. Spread the roots in the bottom of the hole in every direc tion, taking care not to have them across each other. Cover with good, fine surface soil two or three inches deep, pressing it thoroughly with the foot. This firming of the soil is very essential to success, aud should be carefully done, after which fill the hole to within two or three inches of the top of the plant. If the tops are short, the hole may remain filled in the shape of a basin, to be gradually filled in, as growth progresses. This deep planting secures a tier of roots so deep down there is little danger of serious damage by freezing, even if the surface roots are destroyed. After-Culture.—Keep the soil thoroughly cultivated during the summer, allowing no weeds to grow, and hoe frequently about the vines. Do not attempt to grow vegetables, berries or anything else between the rows, or if you MUST grow something else, let it be beans or early potatoes. The first fall after planting, cut the new growth back, leaving only one spur of four or five buds. The next spring, when the shoots have grown a few inches rnb off all but two, leaving the strongest to form canes for fruiting the next year. Cultivation the second summer should be the same as the first. It is not practicable to give instructions for training and pruning in these hints—the vineyardist or planter can easily obtain this infor mation. We only state that vines will do well trained to stakes or on a trellis, on walls, sides of buildings or arbors, but care should always be takeu to prune thoroughly every year, so as to preserve an equilibrium between root and top or they will overbear. STRAWBERRIES. On arrival of plants, unpack AT ONCE, puddle, loosen and spread out the bunches and heel in. Do not leave in package and pour water over them, as this will surely cause the plants to heat and spoil. In planting, take but few plants from the trench at a time, and expose them as little as possible to wind or sun. Do not plant deep, but press the earth very firmly about the roots. Do not fail to spread out the roots in fan-shape, for if they are planted with the roots all in a mass or doubled up, they will often mould and die, or at best make only a feeble growth. Have the ground well ploughed and pulverized, and if not already rich use fertilizers freely. Well-rotted manure, ground bone and wood ashes are all excellent. For garden culture, set the plants from 15 to 18 inches apart each way; and for field culture in rows 3 feet apart and from 10 to 15 inches apart in rows. Keep ground cultivated thoroughly. After mid-summer cultivate shallow, so as not to disturb the roots. At the close of winter it is well to give the plantation a mulching of straw, leaves, cotton-seed hulls, or some cheap, coarse material. This need not be removed in the spring until after the crop is gathered, thus serving the double purpose of keeping the fruit clean and the ground moist during fruiting season. When pistilate varieties are planted, every third row should be a staminate or perfect blossomed variety. RASPBERRIES. The raspberry succeeds best in a deep, rich soil, and will well repay generous treatment. The sucker vai ieties should be planted from 2 to 3 feet apart in rows that are 5 to 6 feet apart. Three to five canes should be left in each hill to bear fruit, and all others should be cut out as they appear. Good, clean culture is necessary to obtain the best results. Varieties that root from the tip should be planted from 2£ to 4| feet apart in rows that are 6 to 7 feet apart, varying in distance according to the richness of the soil and the habit of growth of the differ ent varieties. The points of the young caues should be pinched out as soon as they reach the height of 1J to 3 feet, according to the vigor of the cane. This will cause them to make low, spreading, stocky bushes that will support themselves without the aid of stakes or trel lises. During the latter part of the winter or in early spring, the canes should be pruned by cutting all the branches back to 5 to 15 inches in length, varying with the strength of the plant. It is better to remove the old wood soon after the fruit iß gathered, but this work is often deferred until the spring pruning. Raspberries are benefitted by shade, if not dense. BLACKBERRIES Require tue same treatment as raspberries, but in field culture slioul d be planted in rows 7 feet apart and 3 feet between tue plants in the row. The canes should be pinched back in summer when 3 feet high, causing them to throw out laterals. DECIDUOUS AND ORNAMENTAL TREES AND SHRUBS. In planting these, follow the general directions given for fruit trees. Shrubs should have the growth of the preceding year clipped to from 3 to 6 buds each, and where they are very numerous, some should be cut entirely away. EVERGREENS. Great care must be exercised in transplanting evergreens not to let the roots dry out. As the sap is resinous in its nature, when once congealed it will not recover. We pack with moss, and cover with matting or cloth as soon as dug. Also the ground should be very firmly tramped around the tree. In transplanting broad-leaved evergreens from the open ground (such as magnolia, liolly, laurel, etc.,) the leaves should always be clipped off at time of transplanting. Cut all the leaves off, leaving only a part of the leaf stalk. ROSES. Prepare the rosebed by digging out the soil to about eighteen inches deep; mix the top-soil thoroughly with compost of rotten cow manure and rotten cotton seed ; fill the hole with this. If the bush has several branches, cut off all but two of the strongest; cut these oft to about three inches of their juncture with the stalk; plant as deep as they grew in the nursery; keep them well fertilized and clean of weeds, etc. Do not elevate the bed—rather let it be lower than the surrounding surface; this will to a certain extent, prevent their suffering from drouth. Cut back every year fully one-half of the previous year's growth of wood, and your flowers will be much finer and the bushes more vigorous. Do not permit them to make seed. DISTANCES FOR PLANTING.

NOTE.—Please come or send for your trees on the day set for delivery. After all our pains to keep your trees from all exposure while digging and packing so as to deliver them perfectly fresh on the day of delivery, it is an injustice to us if you do not receive them promptly on that day. We wish to build up and maintain areputation for careful and prompt handling of stock, and to do this we must have the co-operation of our patrons, as their neglect injures us. Your delay in receiving your trees also involves us in unnecessary ex pense in keeping a man with stock left after first day. While we will take good care of stock yet the sooner it is taken after being opened the better. Thanking our patrons for past favors, we respectfully solicit a continuance of the same, and trust, by honest treatment and courteous attention, to merit the continuance of your patronage. If you are pleased with our stock we ask you to reserve your orders for next season, until our agent calls on you. Respectfully, G. H. MILLER & SON, ROME, GEORGIA.

LlXK« The above cut shows one Grate Bar and also the Links of which it, or any other length is formed. Made in two widths, 5 in. and 6 in., with which any width furnace can be filled._____________________________________________________ The coupling is protected from the fire surface not only by the metal covering it, but by the air space, and the surface of the grate may be burned off without effecting in the least the coupling device. The short links or sec tions forming the bars prevent springing, adding to the life of the grates, and by having to replace only the burnt part of each bar from time to time when injured by the fire, reduces the expense of grate bars. By thus being able to repair promptly injured portions, and keeping the grate in perfect condition, will save fuel and add to the capacity of the furnace. . fs From a photograph of an old style 48 inch Solid Grate Bar having been used and discarded from furnace, owing to a portion being burnt and broken out.

(OVBR) A Few of Many Such Opinions We Have, as Below: It gives us pleasure to state that your Grate Bars are giving perfect satisfaction, and we are highly pleased with them. We have to carry very heavy fires in our furnaces, and was afraid of them at first, but they are all right, we have had no trouble in disconnecting them. Yours very truly, WENNONAH COTTON MILLS, Lexington, N. C. W. E. Holt, Jr., Mgr. It gives me great pleasure to say that Grate Bars received from you have given us entire satisfaction, and we are very much pleased with them. CHARLESTON CONSOLIDATED RY. GAS & ELEC. CO., Charleston, S. C. M. K. Palmer, Purchasing Agent. Your favor of July 7th was duly received and we delayed answering until wo had opportunity of examining the grate bars supplied by you after they had been in active use for some time. We particularly wanted to see if the joints kept from binding and if it was easy to disjoint them after being in service. We examined the grate bars put in service in one of our boilers in the middle of April last, and find them to be in excellent condition, easily taken apart and put together again. We enclose an order for another set which kindly ship at y our early convenience. Yours truly, RICHMOND GUANO COMPANY, Richmond, Va. A. M. Forrester, Supt. It gives us great pleasure to recommend your Patent Link Grate Bars. Wo have given them a thorough test and can recommend them very highly. Yours truly, AMERICAN FURNITURE COMPANY, Martinsville, Va. S. S. Stephens, Secy. & Treas. The set of your patent grates which we installed in our furnace last fall has given entire satisfaction, and considering the good service and less expense com pared with the shaking grates which we had previously used in this furnace, we take pleasure in saying that your grates are certainly the most desirable. Yours truly, DIXIE FIRE INSURANCE CO., Greensboro, N. C. Per. Wm. Sloan, C. E. Our superintendent requests we write that the grate bars purchased from you have been giving excellent service and he is entirely pleased with them. Yours very truly, Brunswick, Ga. MUTUAL LIGHT & WATER CO. Beg to say, the Sergeant Link Grates shipped me are proving entirely satisfac tory in every way and I consider them superior grates. Yours truly, Statesville, N. C. J. H. McElwce. It affords us pleasure to say the Grates installed by you are giving most ex cellent service, and have proven satisfactory in every respect. While we have not had occasion to renew any parts, we are much pleased with the Grate Bars fur nished, and are satisfied they will prove economical in every respect. Yours very truly, Norfolk, Va. GARRETT & CO., We have had in use for about five months a set of the Sergeant Patent Link Grate Bars, (the Heavy Duty Pattern) in our sixty H. P. boiler. The boiler being too small for the power we need from it, we have to crowd it to its utmost capacity, getting about seventy-five horse power from it. For this reason we have given the grate bars rather a severe test, but they are standing right up to the work required of them and are giving entire satisfaction. It will afford us pleasure to recommend your Link Bars as the best bar we know of. Yours truly, DICK'S LAUNDRY CO., Greensboro, N. C. John M. Dick, Sec. & Treas.

The most inexplicable fact con nected with our American life is the inde scribable fear which dominates thecommutity concerning Romanism. It infects the air. It pervades society. It creeps into churches and shuts the doors against the uncovering the errors of Romanism and deliyeriug the bondmen from the chains of its galling despotism. As a rule all books telling the truth about Romanism are excluded from our public libraries. School histories are non written to placate Rome rather than to expose the system. It lays its embargo on free thought. It muzzles the press. It makes many of our noble miniiters dumb in the pulpit. It excludes from the platform of political parties all utterances that would warn the people of their danger or outline the path of safety, and fills the mind of the millions with apprehension aud alarm. The home and the Sabbath school are left. Can this realm be invaded ? Can this field be sown with seed that shall bring forth fruit for God's glory and man's good ? That is the problem to be solved. The plates of five books have been de stroyed by foes or by fire. Four books have been selected for the home and Sabbath- scho M library. ist. " How to Win Romanists " furnishes a sketch of my efforts in this direction, pre pared by Robert S. MacArthur, D. D. It describes the fight in Canada and in America, the condition of nunneries, gives the lectures on mariolatry that ploughed all England; followed by " Is Romanism Good Enough for Romanists ? " " The Condition of Cuba," a sketch of Alberto J. Dia«, the problems which must be solved in the Philippine Islands, and the work which must be done. zd. "Spurgeon Our Ally" contains bap tismal regeneration, the communion question, the only description extant of the great battle fought and the victory won ; the temperance question, the letter on tobacco for which a friend of youth sent me $200, and finally some of Spurgem'i magnificent utterances against Romanism, and his appeal to Protes tants to work while it is day. One of his deacons gives it high praise, declaring it to be " The most complete life that has been written." Berjamin Griffith, D. D., of the Publication Society, sent the author $50 as a token of his appreciation of it as a Baptist book which tells truths that make it valuable for every lover of Christ and student of his tory in the home or Sabbath-school. 3-Î. "Sam Hobart, the Railroad Engineer," converted because of the gospel preached to him on a locomotive, became a successful worker for Christ, and wag a power among workingmen. This book tells of his suc cessful ways of working, " and," said Rev. Wm. M. Thayer, " is calculated to awaken in young men aspirations after a nobler man hood." 4th. " Cornelia Harmon, Rescued from a Ceiwent," ia a story of life in St. Louis, and contains a description of the way Americana rescue " The Mound City " from the grasp of Rome, proving that it is a power which can be controlled providing courage be exer cised and wisdom used. The deliverance of "Cornelia Harmon" flashes light upon the possibilities within our reach, and will en courage many to speak for Christ to Roman ists, that they may be delivered from the thralldom of error. These books cost when sent singly by mail, one dollar each. Tue four will be sent by express, or delivered at THE CITIZEN office, 127A Tremont St., Boston, Mass., on receipt of three dollars.

COLOUR PAINTINO ' Always use clean water; a clean palette and brushes, and clean your brushes before putting them away. The paper should be STRETCHED before commencing to colour your drawing. This is best done by soaking it in clean water for at least one hour ; then take off tlie superfluous .water with a clean towel, used as blotting paper. Afterwards paste the paper down to your drawing board by applying the paste, which should be strong, to a margin of your paper about one inch (for small and medium sizes) larger all round than the size of your subject. This allows you to cut your drawing out when completed. , -. ' For large drawings, or those intended for preservation, it is better to use two sheets of paper; one a common cartridge paper, treated as above ; the other, the paper on which your drawing will be, should be of the best quality. jlTkis should be soaked at the same time as the first sheet, and when thefi(sWl«t is pasted to the drawing board, I paste the second sheet entirely over the first, applying the paste to thje>*6kof twT&scond sheet.

R. 7028 There were thirty-eight (38) officers who served m the Civil War, (36 on the Union and 2 on the Confederate side) in the War with Spain and in the Philippines. A bill was approved by Congress in 1901 retiring all officers who had served in these three wars with one grade higher than that which they held. This bill was changed, presumably at the instance of General Corbin, to * apply only to officers of the regular Army. Twelve of these thirty-eight officers were appointed to the active list in the Regular Army in 1901, although near the retiring age, and two were placed on the retired list with the rank of Brigadier General. (Generals Fitzhugh Lee and James H. Wilson.) Of the twenty-four who were not provided for, fourteen are now dead and the remaining ten feel that they should enjoy the same consideration as those who were appointed m the Army. The additional charge that this bill would entail would be at present about $ 15,000., but as the minimum age of these applicants for relief is about 70 years, the annual charge would diminish rapidly, they cannot live much longer and they should not be reduced to the necessity of getting support by common charity. Oür stock is large and complete in every department. No limi tation is offered to any quantity. Prices given below will be observed by us at any time in the future. Goods delivered free in the city. No charge for packing goods sent out of city. Out-of-town customers will please remit by postal note, registered letter or money order. Exact change given. Pennies taken in payment.

I have been trying to tell the people ever since last spring, but I have hardly been noticed. Last spring I was in die White House at Washington City, in the montai of June, when the flowers were out in bluom and the white roses were as white as snow, [u July I was on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, where the white waves rolled over my breast and gave me peace and rest. In the month of August I wore a crown of life; February 4th I was at the river. I am the man that has seen that wonderful motor that the Lord calls a living motor. You will find the promise of it in the Book of Ezekiel, from the first to the tenth chapter. The Lord will bring this into the world to suit Him. I am the man who warned so many towns and places that I would explain the Book of Ezekiel. Now, I would like for all the ministers to preach one sermon from, the first to the tenth chapter of the Book of Ezekiel and the fourth chapter of Revelations ; and I ask the editors to open their hands and throw in their mite. This is not for a State ; it is for the whole world. It concerns the heathen tribes. If you want this any plainer, write and let it be known in your papers and I will explain it as fast as the people need it. I shall ask you all to watch. I am, your humble servant, J. N. FISHER, LINCOLN, ILLINOIS. JOURNAL PEINT. GREETINGS. Come they not down to us, those greet ings kind? From Italy and Greece do they not come? And doth the church in Asia not salute us? Priscilla and Aquila send fair words, Luke the belov'd physician, Mark the minister, Sylvanus and Timotheus, all unite, In messages, and Titus of the common faith; Epaphras sendeth prayers, and many more Salute, and send to us the kiss of peace. Sweet sister voices mingling with the brotherly, The saints salute us all, across the cen turies, And our hearts warm to them, feeling t we are one; — I, the Apostle, sendeth greeting to us, His salutation writ with his own hand, Being such an one as Paul the aged, And slave and prisoner of Jesus Christ, Wearing his bonds right joyfully for all men, He sendeth lovo to us, and, stretching forth Towards us his holy hands in benedic tion, Speaketh on thiswise, "Grace and peace be to you, From God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!"
