CAPITAL OF THE STATE.
THE NEW SECRETARY OF STATE
takes the oath.
Pensioners of the State Drawing Their
Allowances—Experiments lu Under-
Draining: on the Farm of the State.
The Furniture of the Old Capitol to
Be Fold.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. s.—The new secre
tary of state entered on the discharge of the
duties of his oilice at noon to-Jav,after giv
ing a SIO,OOO bond and taking tin- oath of
office. The bond is signed by W. L Peel,
his son-in-la*', and Dr. Henry L. Wilson,
both of Atlanta. Gen. Cook says Cant.
Thomas, son-indaw of the late secretary,
will be retained as clerk.
PAYING PENSIONS.
The corridors of the capitol (his morning
were swarming with disabled confederates
who had come t > draw their pensions, ('apt.
Harrison of the executive office, the con
troller and the treasurer had all they could
do to attend to their wants. During the
day about $13,000 was paid out under the
pension act.
UNDER-DRAINING.
Director Redding of tho state experiment
station was here to-day, and gave an inter
esting account of experiments in under
draining now being made at tho farm. .Mr.
Redding says: “Ditches three feet deep
have lean cut thirty feet apart in a piece of
clay upland that gets very soggy in wet
weather. Two logs are placed in the bot
tom of the ditch a short distance apart, and
then another log is laid upon these two,
leaving a little gutter underneath them.
The ditches are then filled un, and in wet
weather the water runs through to this
drain and is carried off. The theory
is that water seeping through the earth car
ries the air with it and thus keeps the
ground open and enables it to be plowed
a few days after even the hardest rains.
Another plan of under draining is to put
two planks iu tho bottom of a ditch fas
tened together like the sides of a roof, leav
ing the drain open beneath.
OLD CAPITOL FURNITURE.
The governor will advertise for sale all
the furniture iu tho old capitol in a day or
two.

BANK WRECKING.
How tho New York Syndicate Worked
Its Little Uame.
New York, Feb. s.—Details of the
method by which tho bank wrecking
syndicate secured control of the
three institutions have just been
been mode public by an officer connected
with one of tho institutions. The base of
operations was the Equitable Bank. * The
manner in which tho Lenox Hill and Sixth
National were secured was as follows:
In all $89,900 was paid for the Lenox Hill
Bank. Tins sum includes a bonus of $25,000
for the privilege of getting it.
HOW IT GOT (JONTUOL.
What the syndicate wanted was a con
trolling interest in the Lenox Hill. In
order to obtain this it purchased 500 shares
at 110. The money came from the Equita
ble. Checks to the amount of SOI,OOO were
drawn and certified at the Equitable. These
were deposited in a down-town bank, and
other checks secured for them. With these
the Lenox was purchased. When the checks
were presented at the down-town bank tho
Equitable had, of course, sufficient credit
there to meet the checks.
A SET-OFF DEPOSIT.
The moment the Leuox Hill was secured,
certified checks equal to tho amount paid
for the bank were dr iwn and placed in the
Equitable Bank, thus balancing the account
at tlie other. In this way tho syndicate
was able to meet all obligations. That same
afternoon the Lenox Hill discounted its own
notes for $30,000, and with the money se
cured paid the balance. The Sixth National
was secured in the same manner.

RECEIVED XOXET FROM HADDEN.
ihiring her husband’s shsence Hadden
caked. Tcat was on Oct. HI. She had re
eeived a letter from her iaisband telling her
to call upon Hadden for money, and she did
so. He was not at home, so she (Mrs.
Wood) left word for him to call at her
house, and he did so. She pres Titen a letter
with au inclosed note to Hadden, who rea l
it and said it called for sst). which he paid
her at once. Ho then advised her to put
ali such letters in the lire, and burned his
noie. She had saved the letter from her
husband, however, aud produced it. Air.
Grosvenor re id it as follows:
Washington. D. 0., Oct. 15. 1880.
1 want you to see Hadden at 1,. S. Davis’ of
fice. and let me know by Pdegraph if he will do
what I wrote him. and send by express. I hope
you understood my telegram to day in answer
to vours 1 don't waul to see Campbell here,
and don't know that I want to
sis-him at all. He is in with Jim Campbell, l
will return to Cincinnati if advised to do so by
Hadden after he has seen his royal tiighn 'ss up
at Columbus. But if he thinks best to stay
here until after ttie election, i will do so. 1 know
that Turn Campbell wants an affidavit that will
help Jim Campbell in ids light against Foraker.
PAYMENT OK THE MONEY.
Mr. Or svenor asked for full details about
tile payment of the money to her by Had
den. The witness replied that she had re
ceived about Oct. If) or 17 £l5O from Haddou
at his office, #lOO of which was for her hus
band aud $5O for herself. .She had asked
Hadden how to remit to Wood, but he told
her to use her own judgment Then there
was a payment of $5O made at her house,
and again she received $4O from him the
night of Wood’s arrest. He had told
her then that he would have to take tho
money out of his own pocket. Hadden tld
her they would see that Wood was taken
care of; that his arrest was only a political
affair, and that he would bo given perma
nent employment. He hardly thought he
could get tho smoke inspectorship, but still
he would be taken care of whether Gov.
Foraker was elected or not. Hadden was
always afraid someone would see him
talking to her, and wanted her to say noth
ing about it when be called at her house.
FORAKER ALLEGES IGNORANCE.
Gov. Foraker said that he knew nothing
excipt in the most general wav about tho
payments made to Mrs. Wood by Hadden,
aud that Hadden could tell his story when
he was recalled.
After the recess Robert J. Wood, a lad of
lo years, and son of R. (4. Wood, produced
the stock ! ook of the ballot box company.
He said that in November last, when his
father was under arrest, he had gone to see
Hadden by his mother’s order. He was
w ith his sister. Hadden made her stand
out in tho hall while he took the witness
into the sitting room. The witness asked
for money and Hadden gave him #4O from
ills own pockot, as ho said, and told him
that perhaps his father would be home that
night.
STOCKHOLDERS OF TnE COMPANY.
Air. Grosvenor next took up the stock
book and read stubs to show the persons
to whom certificates of stock had bae t
issued. From these stubs it appeared tiiat
the larger part of the stock was
held by Wood and his wife, and
tho other stockholders, whose names
have been mentioned in this case,
were Charles A. Lehman, S. 8. Davis, Ed
ward Hall, and T. C. Campbell.
Alexander Caine of the Ohio state audit
or’s office testified to a conversation on a
train with Gov. Forakor, Hept. :27. Other
persons were present, and they were talking
politics, and Gov. Forakor said tha ii
•Senator Sherman and Congressman McKin
ley did not let up on him ho had something
in his desk that would ruin them. He did
not know what the governor referred to,
and the matter passed off.
Democratic papers were filled with sen
sational articles to the effect that Gov. For
aker was not receiving the support of the
gentlemen named.

TO TRY TOBACCO RAISING.
The Experiment to Be Made in South
east Georgia This Year.
Traffic Manager Owens of toe Savannah,
Florida and Western railway is sending out
seed of the best Havana tobicon to a few
farm-rs along the liae of the Savannah,
Florida and Western and the Brunswick
aud Wist. til The seed was obtained in
Cu ’ aud is guaranteed to be of the best
quant.. The experiment of trying some
Georgia lands along the lines of railway
mentioned is to be made this year. A lim
ited amount of seed was sent out last year,
but the retorts were not so favorable.
T. >1 -acco culture, however, cannot be suc
cessfully pros cuted without a practical
knowledge of the cultivation of the pla it,
fro.ii the prenuration of tho plant boa until
the harvested s:ock is housed, and the
fin.idling of it in the barn requires as much
kn iwledge and care as wiien the plant is
growing.
I’he e ilture of tobacco In Ge Tgia can be
made protita’ le, and new ground, for two
yeirs, will make a very light textured a id
pretty leaf fi r wrappers, and the flavor
of the leaf will be line, but after two crops
have beeu grown oa the laud it requires
feriilizing, and this deteriorates the flavor,
and the leaf is heavier and darker.
Tobacco culture in Florida and Georgia"
was the subject of quite au interesting dis
cussion in the office of Traffic Ala iager
Owens yesterday morning, in which Air.
<) wens, Assistant Traffic Manager Papy, and
C'L J. H. M. Clinch participat 'd. Mr.
I’apy said that Alessrs. Stratton & St >rm
had established the fact that tobtcc > culture
in Florida can be made to pay largely, and
Mr. Papy said that the crop raised last year
on their Florida plantation had roil.zed to
them such a profit as to meet the entire
expense for tho purchase of the land,
its preparation for planting, the
cultivation, harvesting, curing and ship
ping of the crop, and the cost for erecting
tho pretty little houses built for tho Alsa
tian tenants who worked the place. The
entire expense, which amounted to about
#9)1,000, had beeu fully met by the revenue
from tiie first crop raised, leaving tho vast
plantation in tho highest state of cultiva
tion, making it appear like one great gar
den, and dotted by the pretty cottages of
the Alsatians. “It is,” said Mr. Papy, “a
magnificent drive of nine miles arouud the
farm over a road made by the owners, and
bridges crossing the drains connect all por
tions of the farm.”
Col. Clinch gave his experience with a
ten-acre lot planted in tobacco forty years
ago, and he said that while he sold the to
bacco at $1 per pound, he lost money by the
operation, mid never tried tobacco "raising
thereafter, although he says lie can see no
reason why tobacco cannot bo profitably
cultivated on new hammock laud, and be of
tho best quality for flue cigars.
'I he plauter who expects tobacco will re
quire no more care than corn or cotton is
much mistaken. Experienced tobacco
raisers, however, find it one of the least
troublesome crops, and few Kentucky and
Tennessee farmers fail to plant at least a
few acres in connection with their other
crops, and for the reason that it is not only
a profitable crop, but can largely be culti
vated with cheaper labor and handled in
the barn when oatside work cannot lie done.
The small boy can drop the plant, worm the
crop, and pluck tho suckers from the plant
after topping, oven better than adult labor.
When tho tobacco is cured, on rainy days it
“comes into case,” and is stripped and tied
into hands, when there would bo no work
possible in the open tidd.
In this section tho proper way to go about
preparing for tobacco is first to select a
rich spot of new ground with a southern
exposure, and, after removing all the under
growth by grubbing, brush should be piled
on tho plant bed, anti burned, for the pur
pose of killing out all grass and weed
germs. An ounce of tobacco seed, thorough
ly mixed in a gallon of fine ashes, should
be so wed broadcast in the bed, which must
have beeu finely pulverized with a rake, if
the season is dry it mav bo well to water
the bed occasionally. When the plant has
attained t > a growth of throe or four leaves
it is transplanted in hills or furrows, and
requires no more cultivation with hoe and
cultivator than cotton.
The secret of keeping tho growing crop
from being worm eaton, is to worm it early
and often, and principally in the morning
when tho worms feed on tho plant. The
after cultivation, housing, and curing prop
erly, requires an intelligent study of the
subject, or, what is hotter, tho presence on
the farm of someone who has had exneri
ence in tobacco culture.
Tobacco for heavier manufacture than
cigars is hardly likely to be attempted in
tliis state or Florida, as soil overlying lime
stone formation appears to be so much
better adapted to tlia heavier grades of
tobacco; but for the finer grades for cigars,
and cigar wrappers, it . as been de non
strated that Florida is hardly second to
Cuba, and it is believed that Southern and
Southeastern Georgia is just as well
adapted to the culture of the Cuban vari
eties of tobacco, aad it only wants expe
rienced tobacco raisers to" establish that
fact.
The Washington Life's Plan.
The Washington Life Insurance Company
of New York, of which John .Sullivan &
Cos. are agents, writes installment endow
ment policies, guaranteeing to tho insured
the payment of from $5OO to $15,000 in cash
nt (he end of ten years, and similar sums
eaeli subsequent period of ten years. These
policies, winch are for terms of twenty and
thirty years, furnisn insurance for
$l,OOO to $30,000, and carry
annual noil-forfeitable cash dividends.
An installment endowment may be sur
rendered while in force (after three years)
for as many tenth parts of the amount o(
the policy as there have been full years’
premiums paid. For instance, a policy
for $30,000 after five years from
the beginning of any ten-year
period mav be mi-rendered for a
paid-up policy for $15,000, which would
entitle tiie holder to #7,5)0 at tha ead of the
ten-year period if living, or $15,000 in the
event of his dying before the completed
period. The Installment Endowment has
ample provision for its protection.

the war it became a custom with us to pre
pare for a squall after every b:g tigat. It
was sure to come.”
Th • gentle nan explained that tho can
nonading, attended by the immense
volumes of smoke that went up, disturbed
the atmosphere to such an extent that a
precipitation was invar,ably tho result. The
experiine it, however, of cannonading for
rain, said a Savannahian, will be somewhat
expensive now. The robins have not
returned from their nesting and the boys
have nothing to shoot at. He suggested
tnat the truck farmers might, however,
engage the military for a day and reward
the man that shoots off his gun the greatest
number of times.
The Production of Ivory.
There are annually killed in Africa a
minimum of 05,000 elephants, yielding a
production of a quantity of raw "ivory, the
selling price of wi.ich is some $850,900. I his
quantity is shipped to vari us parts of the
world—to the American, tho European, and
the Asian markets. A large quautity is,
however, kept by the native priuces of
Afiica, win) are very fond of, and as a rule,
very good judges of ivory. The production
out of Africa is only insignificant, and India,
Ceylon, aud Samatra, together produce only
some 30,000 knogs per year. India is the
largest consumer of ivory, and China is aDo
a good market.

UNEQUAL TO THE TEST.
Why a Washington Girl Gave Up Her
Struggle as a Probationer.
From the Washington Capital.
Quite a sensation was created last week in
one of the largest churches in this city over
i the resignation of a newly converted young
: lsdy member. There was nothing startling
about the fact of a young lady signifying
her intention to join another church. In
too wording of the resignation, however,
the lady stated that as she was a
new co ivert she was afraid she
would not be able to stand the severe tests
that were forced upon her by members of
the church. It is needless to say that tcese
remarss brought about an investigation,
which disclo'ed some peculiar ideas about
testing the faith of some of the mem
bers on the probation list.
Tt seems that one of the good deacons was
pleading with her about the welfare of her
soul and her future in general. The young
lady was very attentive to what the good
man was saying; her eyes looked trustingly
up to his, her lips were parted in a tempt
ing manner, far too tempting for tlu dea
con, who, unlike St. Anthony, could not
withstand the temptation of kissing her,
much to her surprise and dismay. When
the deacon saw the e*eet his actions had
upon her, he made a bold front of it, and
told her what he bad done was one of the
trials she would‘have to undergo, and
doubtless he would have succeeded in mak
ing her believe his story had she not con
fided “in a friend,” who advised her to re
sign.
What really will happen to the poor dea
con is hard to tell. It will be safe to say,
however, that ho will not be apt to recline
upon a bed of roses, as there is a wife to be
beard from, a id they say she has blood in
her eye.
Kept Their Secrets.
From the New York Star.
“My wife told me a good story recently,”
saida prominent Mason to me. “My nek -
door neighbor, w:io is a big, gool-uatured
fellow, full of fun and takmg life easy, was
to take the first degree in our lodge one
eveuiug, and his who knew both of his in
tention and the evening set for its execution,
and, from pure love of him and fear for
his safety, was awfully oppossed
to his joining. He wanted
clean underwear that evening,
ami the bureau drawers being locked and
keys missing, asked her for it. He might
as well have asked for her life; so he had to
buy a suit. Next morning she was in to see
my wife —they’re great friends—and curios
ity had taken the place of anger. ‘Pou my
word, Mrs. B,’ said she, excitedly, ‘I can’t
find a markon them. I’vo searched liis
drawers and shirt all over, and there’s no
break in ’em, or patch oa’em; no blood on
’em, no hair oa ’em! I’m sure he has not
ridden the goat yet.’ “A fow evenings after
ward a. couple of members called o i Cain—
give him a name, if you want to —and Mrs.
0. tells the story to my wife. He locked
the parlor doors—the big, fat, hateful
thing—and when I had my ear to the key
hole he puts a handkerchief over it and
says: ‘You can listen, Mollie dear, but
you can’t look—’deed you can’t, darling.
We’re going to do something secret.’ And
they did. I heard them say ‘How,’
‘Here’s to you,’ ‘That’s good,’ ‘He’s got
it,’ and then they’d whisper to each other
very low buzz, buzz, nuzz-liko. Thau they’d
laugh very loud. Oh! they pestered me to
death.’ My friend always keeps good
liquors, and I’m afraid he enjoys getting a
good joke on his better half.”
