Drunkard's Serni it, Addressed,
so Two Gilded Youths.
It was growing Into, The 1 ide
of humanity that earlier in the eye
ing had ebbed and tlovvd through the
streets of the great city had swept
onward, leaving the strange and al
most ap’ialing sense of desolation that
conies when the noises of the town
a-elu lied. The electric lights H ived
unnoted on the corners, the street ears
passed at farther interva’s, i m and
1 hen a night worser hu.- -d fi.v, his
footsteps riiging op.i iotnl and Gar
in the stillness. In froiutof r sail on,
whose lights shone out bright and
and rudy across the paveinen 1 ’~ stood
a tramp, unshorn, ragged, dirty, dis
gusting. lie watched wit 11 envious
eyes the man who passed in and out
through the swinging doors, and then
lie turned his eyes toward two young
men coming down the steet toward
him. They had been drinking deep
ly, and they stopped before the sa
loon door and lookep curiously at him.
“By Jove,” said one, ‘ think of hav
ing a thirst like that and not the price
of an extinguisher in your pockets!
Beats aid Tantalus all to pieces, oh?
Liquor, liquor, everywhere and not
a drop to drink.” He ran his hand in
his pocket and proffered a dime but
before it could be accepted, the other
young fellow interposed. “Say,” he
said,“let’s do the good Samaritan, and
set the Holie up to a good drink.”
The other hilariously consented,
and the tramp slouched into the sa
loon at the heels of the two gilded
youths. The barkeeper set before
them glasses and liquors; and with
a hand that shook, the tramp poured
out a brimming glass, and raised it
to his lips. “Stop,' - cried one of the
young men drunkcnly, ‘ make us a
speech, it is poor liquor that doesn't
unloosen a mans tongue - ”
The tramp hastily swallowed down
the drink, and as the itch liquor
coursed through his blood he
Rt-su.. hte 'V ! himself and stood ! efore
'fi-' ami dignity that all
gs and m could not obscure
•t>ciirlc.ne;i,‘' he said, “I look to
eight at you and myself, and H seems
to in I look upon the picture of my
lost manhood. This bloated face was
once as t< wing and handsome us yours.
This shambling figure once walked
as proudly as yours, a man in a world
of men. I, too, once had home, and
friends, and position* I had a wife
as beautiful as an artist’s dream, and
1 dropped the priceless pearl of her
honor and respect in the wine cup,
and Cleopatra like, saw it dissolve,
and quaffed it down in the brimtninf
draught. I bad children as sweet and
lovely as the flowers ot >pi mg, and i
saw i.,em fade and die under the
blighting curse ora drunkard father.
1 hud me wLei-i love lit the fin me
upon the altar and minis'ered before
it, am: I put out the by ire nod
darkness .uid tie htbu, rogned in
stead, i irvi uspirulio'l and emnilion
that soared as high a the morning
star, and I broke and bruised their
beautiful wings, ai.ii a., last, strang'ed
them that I might be tortured with
their cries mo more T -day I am:
husband without a wife, a father with
out a child, a tramp with no In roe to
call Ids own, a man in whom every
good impulse is dead All, all, swal
lowed up in the maleatrom of diink.”
The tramp ceased speaking. The
glass fell from his nerveless fingers
and shivered inlo a thousand frag
ments on the floor. The swinging
doors pushed open and shut again,
and when the little group about the
bar looked up, the tramp was gone.

unteers are up in arms. But not
against Spain so much as against the
Govcnor of Georgia.
They do not take kindly to the ap
parent slight that was put upon them
in the select ons of Captains from the
Second regiment to the front. The
matter is the sensation of the hour in
civil as welt as military circles, and
; since the appointments were made
known has been discussed very freely
on every side. The members uf the
company feel that 'hey have been
slighted and they resent it. The
blame is put upon Govenor Atkinson
and upon Major Kenan in about
equal parts.
The Macon Volunteers say that a
large number of the company would
have gone if their captain had ‘i een
appointed and that ns one of the
oldest and the strongest campauics in
the ’.slate they should have had a
chnnce'to go and their capta n was
entitled to more consideration than
the commanding officer of the young
est company in Iho city and the
youngest captain, both of whom were
given commissions,—Augusta Trtmne

FALSE STATEMENT NAILED,
Sir. Nesbitt 1 -’i ! Not Say Cotton Could
lie Raised ut 3 1-2 Cents.
It lias come to my knowledge that a
report is being circulated over Georgia
that the head of this department lias
said that Georgia farmers could raise
cotton profitably at cents a pound.
Such a report being well calculated to
injure (lie usefulness of this department,
tit-reftre, in justice to the department,
r.ud all concerned, I feel impelled to
correct the false statement. The fol
lowing from The Cherokee Advance
fully explains the matter:
“CoLObSL NUMUTT WAS UMSTENTION-
At-I.Y inSJtEPEKSKXTEI).
“In making mention of Martin Y.
Calvin retiring from the race for com
missioner of agriculture, two weeks ago,
in which we made impartial reference
to the candidacy of Coinmissinor Nes
bitt and Colonel O. B. Stevens, wo said
that 'Colonel Nesbitt’s mistake of advo
cating the raising of Bb, cent cotton at
a profit is hurting him no little. ’
“In making this statement wo unin
tentionally did Colonel Nesbitt an in
justice, and now gladly make the cor
rection. While the statement was made
and published in the reports issued from
the department of agriculture, volume
18, 1892, page 30, it was the result of an
experiment made at the Experiment
Station under the direction of Director
Redning, which gave the result of sev
eral tests showing that cotton could be
raised oven at 2 1 ., cents per pound. On
one thorough test, however, the publi
cation referred to above said: ‘Mr.
Kimbrough, the agriculturist, estimates
the aggregate cost of plowiug, harvest
ing, hoeing, picking and fertilizers —
nothing being allowed for interest oil
the land or superintendence—at an
amount which would make the cost of
the cotton Shi cents per jiound of lint. ’
Colonel Nesbitt did not say that. He
only published this experiment with
ether tests made at the Experiment
Station, and we trust that our readecs
will so remember. ” —Cherokee Advance.

piles to Many Inquiries.
Question. —There is a bug eating up
my Irish potato plants, a specimen of
which I semi you. Is there any sure
remedy for them, and if so what is it?
What is the name of the bug?
Answer. —The insect you enclose i3
called the Colorado potato beetle, and is
very destructive to the Irish potato crop.
They have only appeared in Georgia
during the last few years, but arc
now thoroughly domiciled, and for
tunate is the owner whose patch
or field of Irish potatoes is not attacked
by them. They should be attacked on
their first appearance, as they multiply
rapidly, and any delay renders it more
difficult to got rid of them. They may
easily be distinguished from the striped
blister beetle (also an enemy to the po
tato plant, but; less destructive), the lat
ter being much more slender in body and
longer, with longer legs, greater activity
and more ready to take flight. Avery
effective remedy against the Colorado
beetle, especially cn first appearance, is
to pick them off by hand, at tho same
time destroying their eggs, which may
he found on the under side of the potato
leaves in masses, and are easily recog
nized by t heir orange color. The usual
remedy is to dust or spray the plants
with either Paris green or London pur
ple. If dusting is preferred use one part
of the poison to five parts of flour and
two to three parts of air slacked lime or
finely sifted ashes. Apply with a sifter or
perforated pan. It’ spraying is preferred
use 0 to 7 ounces of either poison to 50
gallons of water. Most persons prefer
London purple because of its cheapness
and better mechanical condition, lacing
as a rule more finely powdered than the
Paris green. These applications may
have to be repeated two or three times
during the season.
Remember that Paris green and Lon
don purple are both deadly poisons, and
should he handled most carefully. In
dusting apply in the morning, while the
dew is on tho plants.—State Agricult
ural Department. _
To Distinguish the English Walnut
Seale Kram the San .Jose Scale.
Question. —We have what is called
the English walnut scale in our orchard.
How may we distinguish it from the
Sau Jose scale?
Answer.— A tree infested with the
San Jose scale presents different appear
ances according as it is badly infested
Tr only slightly infested. When tho
roughly encrusted with this insect the
tree takes on a grayish-brown ashy ap
pearance ns though the trunk and limbs
had been painted with dampened ashes.
By scraping a limb with a knife the
scales may be removed, cohering like a
mass of wet bran.
If tho tree, is only slightly infested
the bark will be found to Be dotted here
and there with very dark gray, often
black scales (about 1-10 of an inch in
diameter) surrounded by a purplish
tinge of the bark. The blackish appear
ance of this scale is especially notice
able during the winter an-.l spring.
Later in the season, when the
overwintered insect reaches maturity
the scale takes on more of the grayish
appearance. Aided by a pocket micro
scope the for.-ale scale will he soon to bo
circular and conical in outline, termi
nating at tho center by a minute nip
ple-bko prominence, surrounded by a
distinct ling. The male scales arc
smaller and elongated, with tbs nipple
near tho anterior < ml.
The English walnut scale is larger
(about one-twelfth of an inch in diame
ter) and more flattened than the San
Jose scale. It is circular in outline and
of a pale, grayish-brown color. The
nipple-like prominence is at one side of
the center and is reddish-brown. By
raising the waxy scale the body of the
insect is revealed, which is larger and
of a paler yellow color than (hat of the
San Jose scale. When one once be
comes familiar with these two scales it
is not difficult to distinguish them.
Left unchecked both will eventually
kill trees which they attack, but tho
San Jose is much mere prolific and less
time is required for its destruction of
the infested plant. W. M. Scott.
