That scourge of llvo stock, the glan

horaea and mules in tho staio. The dl«-
eaae waa brought In by drovora who a dd
diseased stock ruga 1 dice, of consequence,,
•nd en epidemic of glandeu I, threat
ened. Upon the appeal of a CofTuc coun
ty farmer Colonel R. T. N< abut, cummin-
tloner of agriculture, a nt a voterinary
turgoon to uu iafectod district to inves
tigate and report the situation. Tho
surgeon's lo’tnr reveals n startling stato
of uftdra. We extract the following:
"I went to tho plantation of Mr. 8:
ud Ilarral, ten miles from Pearson sta
tion, in Coffee county, to investigate tho
disease among hi* stock. Tho horse de
scribed in his letter was dead whoa I (jot
there. Two mules, his only remaining
stock, had well-developed casts
of glanders, both of which
he filled and cremated. The hoise which
was that to develop the diseaso was
bought in January last from an itinerant
trader from Texas. It has been singu
larly fortunate that the many case* of
glsuders that hayo developed in this
central and southern portion of tho statu
have all boon isolated from other stock,
and the disease has been checked by the
destruction of tho animals affected. It
has been no less remarkable that the
| s owners, in the absence of any compulsory
raw, have consented to kill them. *1
would moat respectfully recommend
some legislation in this matter that would
fix a penalty on the traffic of glandt nd
stock and make it compulsory on tht
part of owners to destroy them. ll
also suggests itself to mo that a minimum
recompense would be just to parties sac
rifleing their atock for the protection of
th )ir neighbors. It certainly is a great
htidship for an Individual to sucrifico all
his stock without having tho means to
replace it* Mr. Hart all is left without a
single horso or mulo to start the season’s
planting. Abo the case of Mr. Pate, of
Bumncr, a short distance from tho last
cises mentioned, who sacrificed Rix head
of valuable stock in order to protect his
neighbors from loss, while some unscru
pulous dealers are selling the diseased
stock and spreading tho seeds of cnntv
gion over the entire state.”

Section*, with a convenient number of
iarms and a village in tho center, where
all the farmers and their families
resido. Another plan is for tho
farmers to get together and arrango the
thing among themselves, so thst they
may got nil the benefit of the en acomont
of values duo to the presence of a vil
lage. The advantage Is that when y<>u
bring fifty or n hundred farmers together,
you havo a villago of several hundr<d,
with its social pleasure, its church ami
its school, and with a convenient atoro,
butcher’s shop and all the comforts of
such a community, increasing as it gnws
in size. Tlun you have frequent mails,
with the probability of a telephone, and
ns the town grows larger peril i|M aa
electric lino or a railroad. The Idea Is
not now. it haa been in operation in
Europo for a long time, hut I think we
ran itnprovo on tho European plan.
’I hoir method of dividing farma Into long
strips is not suited to the character of our
country. Tho better plan would be to
have tho farms in more compact shape
and put the vl lage in the contcr. Farm
villages will solve more knotty problems
of country life than any other one thing.
'I he social intercourto of tho villago
brightens pcoplo up, lends to promote
public spirit and does away with tho
dullness nml tho loneliness of rural life.
A Plan fa Have the Fralt.
There is a chance to savo the fruit from
frosts. The freeze of tho 19tli has loft
some, and it will bo well to guard that
with jealous care. Tho weather burenu
proposes to send out frost warnings to
fruit growing districts and if tho simplo
precaution of keeping up smothered fires
should bo ndopted for tho next four
weeks, tho tost of tho fruit will ho
saved. TIm remedy suggested will he tho
use of smudges. A smudge is a smothered
fire. At the bottom, in the center, some
dry, combustible matorial is placed and
set on flro. This is covered with two
or three wagon loads of dampened
straw, or some material that will
make tho flro burn slowly and
emit a great volume of smoke.
Tho farmors of tho Re<l rivrr valley laved
their wheat from dnmago by early frosts
last year, and at times the wholo valley
was covered with smoko from th >
smudges.
Mr. Park Morrill, director of tho Geor
gia weather servico, proposes to apply tho
same system to Georgia, lie says smoko
will hardly protect fruit from such a froze
as that of tho 10th, when tho temperature
went down to lflj degrees, but It will
protect it from damage by frost, and it is
not likely that wo will have another such
freezo.
Tho Gcorgln weather bureau has been
groatly changed within the past three
month", and weather indications, includ
ing cold w .vo, storm and frost warnings,
are sent to thu observers at thirty live
regular stations and to soventy-niuo
other points, whero (hero aro no other
ohservurfl. Mr. Morrill proposes, for tho
next thirty days, to send frost warn
ings to na many ns fifty additional
points for thu benefit of fruit grow
er*. Thoae who are engaged In
that business will do woll to write imme
diately to the director of the weather
service at Atlanta and have their stations
put ♦on tho list. Tho government pro
poses to givo fair warning, blit the par
ties interested must take tho precaution
noco sary to protect fruit after tho notice
of frost is received. Tho precautions aro
few, simplo and inexpensive. Happily
tho materials aro abundant everywhero in
Ooorgia.
Uiorils Will Have No HulMlug at Chicago
Georgia will have no bu iding nt tho
world's fair. And tho monoy whicli was
first intonded to In spent in tho direc
tion of a Kioto building will ho used in
making Georgia'* exhibit more magnifi
cent. At least this seems to be a fair
prophooj regarding tho Georgia build
ing, Architect Nor ( man, who, with Mr.
Martin Amorous, itns boou to Chicago
and investigated tho whole matter, will
so recommend in his report, and ho will
be supported in bit view by soveral if
not all tho members of tho executive
committeo of tho world’s fair cominittoo
of which Governor Northen is chairman.
Those gentlemen visited Chicngo about
tbreo weeks ago and performed their
duties. They found tho space
allntcd tho state in a very incon 'enlent
corner of thu grounds. It was alto
gether out of tho current and
would not bo visited by one-hnlf of the
pcoplo who go to tho world’s fair. Even
with threo times as much ground, a build
ing in that out-of-tho-way piaco would
bo a useless expenditure of money. Tho
first obstacle of too small grounds then
disappeared, and a greater and more iu-
Hurmount able ono arose in its atoad . The
gentlemen found that it would not ho a
hard matter to secure additional space,
but nftor looking at it I hey decided that
it was not desirable. They caino homo
to Georgia with this fixed impression.
Now, Mr. Norrinan has prepared his ro-
port to the executive committeo. In tho
roport ho details tho truo state of
aftitiis as they exist, and recom
mends that Georgia do not build a
stato building at thu world’s fair at
all. He Hates that it was estimated to
spend about tcu thousand dollars in tho
erection of a Georgia building. Tho or
iginal purposo of tho building was for
a state exhibit and for a headquarters for
Georgia people, cornfortab'o sitting
rooms, cloak rooms and other conveni
ences. He states that tho Geo’giu ex
hibit can be placed in the main building,
where it can bo seen by every visitor to
the World’s fair, and will do incalcula
ble good to Georgia in advertising her
rcsourcos and possibilities. He thinks
that the money which would bo neces
sary to erect a Georgia building could bo
much better expended iti improving the
Georgia exhibit.

Some Clever Suiuggling.
One ef the most clever frauds ever per-
netrated upon tho revenue was practiced
y a diamond merchant in New York.
For venrs ho was known to bo smuggling
precious stones, but tho custom’* detec
tive* could not catch him. Every time
he returned from Europe ho was cir« fully
Marched, and it was even proved that he
did not swallow his diamonds before go
tog ashore, hut never was anything found
inferior stonos, and thtso he
did not attempt to conceal. Traps were
•et to capture the wily old culprit but
without avail. At last a detcctivo learn
ed that, whenever ouc of the members of
the suspected firm arrived in New York
unon a certain steamer, another member
of tho firm » r an s^o-it took tho same
stato room upon its return trio. It was
further learned that I o invariably took the
entire state room, so lint he was alone
upon a voyage. Tliis led to tho dllcov-
try of the fraud.
It appeara that the importer, when on
his way from Europe, would cut a small
piece out of the flooring under tho car
pal of hi* stateroom, and, after conceal
ing tho diamonds to Iso smuggled, would
put back the flooring nnd replace the
carpet. Who a he left tho ship ho 'eft
the diamonds, too, in their pUco of con
cealment, and of cnur*e the detcctivo
never found any in his possession.
A few days afterward*, when tho ves
sel wos about to snil for Europe, tho
other member of It* firm or its agent,
having secured tho state-room for tho
return trip, would go on board accom
panied by Id* confederate. The latter
would then remove tho diamonds, nnd
go ashore |>orfcctly safe. Them were no
custom officers o t active duty when
vessels wcr« d pu tlog.

POSTMASTERS IN CONFERENCE.
•Sonic Important Postal Legislation
Suggested by Them.
A Washington dispatch of Monday says:
'1 he conference of postmas'ers of the
country with the postmaster general
here during the last few days will result
in much improvement to tho postal ser
vice of tho country. Tho conference ap
pointed a committeo to draw up several
bills to bo presented to the coinyiittees
o' the two houses for action. ..moug
the new plaus they havo formulated and
presented to congress are the following:
To establish postal savings depositories,
providing that savings maj bo deposited
in all postoffices designated by tho post-
muster g- noral in sums of 5 cents or
moro by the uso of saving* stamps, and
the subsequent con version of s«id small
sums into certificates of deposit of from
$•*> to $100. The bill will further provide
for the investment of such savings funds
in government, state, county, school
district ami municipal bonds in the sec
tions where the money has been collect
ed. The depositors aro to participate in
*l»e earnings fiom the investments lor all
sums left on deposit for six months or
more.
Another very important hill drawn up
by this conference is to provide for the
issuance of postal note* at all postofficea
iu the country for sum* of less than one
dollar free of cost. Tho notes are to be
redeemable at any offico within three
months from the date of issue. Thla
three months’ limitation is placed upon
them to prevent them becoming a circu
lating medium. * ;,i
The conference also drew up a bill
providing lor .'xperiraenting with the
jnstnl telegraph. AJs > for the experi
ment il use of the telephone. They also
appointed a committee to examino into
the expense at-d advisability of using
pneumatic tu'Hs in the larger cities.
Also a bill to prohibit purely advertising
sheets from tnmtobsion through the
mails ns sccond^lass matter. Also to
consolidate third aud fourth-claas moil
matter.
Another bill, and ojae of the moat fo-
po?:aut of all, is tho one providing for
the free delivery of n^ils in ail towns of
exceeding live thousand inhabitants, or
v.hero tho postal lenAipt* exceed flie
hous tud dollar*.
France uf Spain.
The diplomatic negotiation! between
Germany and Spain bare lately seemed
to look toward the consummation of
reciprocity treaties which should shut
France out from any commercial rela
tions with th*- Castilian monarchy. It is
supposed that such a result would have
been very plensant to the Queen Regent
Chriitina and tho Spanish premier, Senor
Castillo. But it could not be worked
•sfely. France is the best cuitomer that
Hpain has, and though in time Germany
might have stood in somewhat the samo
re la ion, it wa* dangerous to exchange a
certainty fora mere podbillty. The
Spanish premier has therefore instructed
his minister in Paris to say that Spain
desited to bring about an undtr-tinding
with France either through a definite
commercial treaty or by a temporary
>. Franco will
aureement. Of course,
promptly nnd cordially accept these over
tures, and Germany, for tho present at
least, will have to abandon the effort to
connect Spain commercially with the

William McKeekan, Druggist at
Bloomingdalc, Mich. "Ihave had
the Asthma badly ever since I came
out of the army and though I have
been in the drug business for fifteen
years, and have tried nearly every
thing on the market, nothing has
given me the slightest relief until a
few months ago, when I used Bo-
schee's German Syrup. I am now
glad to acknowledge the great good
it has done me. I am greatly reliev
ed during the day and at niglitgoto
sleep without the least trouble.” ®
