m ms si > a <we feue 'school at rate i the ; dfall good citizens.who not only a high standard of federal ser vice but fair and equitable dealings to the south as jyeU'as to the north and a * policy of consistent justice and good ' "will * toward all men. In malting ap pointments I have sought to consider the feelings of the people of each local- _ . ity so far as I could consistently do so I • without sacrificing principle. The prime • tests I have applied Ijave been those of character, fitness and ability, and when I Jiave been dissatisfied with what, has been offered within my own party lines, I have without hesitation gone to the op- : posite party—and yon are/ of course, aware <thaf I hive repeatedly done this in your own state of Georgia. I certain ly cannot treat mere colqp a permanent bar to. holding office any more than I could so treat creed or birthplace—al ways provided that in other respects the applicant or incumbent is a worthy and , well-behaved American citizen. Just as little will I treat it conferring a right to hold office. I have scant sympathy ' with the mere doctrinaire, with the man of mere theory who refuses to face facts \but do you not tliink that m the long . run it is safer for everybody if we act on the motto, ‘all men up’ rather than on that of ‘some men down.’ • v . “I have good reason to believe that my appointees in the different, states mentioned—and as'the sum of the parts „' in the whole necessarily in*the south at large—represent not merely an improve ment upon those whose pi ,, but upon the whole a hiv .federal service thar- mL .co been attained in the dRamunities in question. I may add that the proportion of colored ' men among these new appointees is only about one in a hundred. “In view of all these facts, I have been surprised and gomewhat pained at wha£ seems to me the incomprehensible outcry in the south' about my actions— an outcry' apparently started in New -York for reasons wholly unconnected with the question nominally at issue. “I am concerned at the attitude thus taken by so many of the soiftliem peo ple; but I am not in the least angry; and still less will this attitude hive the effect of making me swerve one hair’s breadth, to tone side or the other, Jrom the course I have marked out 1 —the course I have consistently followed in the past | and shall consistently follow in the fu ture.'. _ i > . . .„ \ “"With regard, Sincerely yours, s „ “Theodor^Roosevelt.” ■ f The Constitution in a temperate and /•: well advised editorial comments upon the President’s letter and we quote ex tracts as follows: The south would infinitely prefer to feel that the president sympathizes,with its better sentiment than to be forced to dwell ih'the thought that its people are living under an administration hostile to • — * f aUthattowlxich thepeople of this sec. tion cling most tenaciously in defense of their underlying civilization. . It is periiapsMiatural tliat the president under all circumstances should not say • as much in giving his views on this SUb- f ject as has been said for him by Mr. Bd- v • „ wards and Mr. Page, and yet the evj- . dent display of conservatism and'friend ly feeling iij Mr. Roosevelt’s utterance / . is so marked as to bespeak at least a • : suspension of criticism with the view of rendering final judgment-upon the snip ; • : '‘sequent events Jpf his administration. , There remains,two years of his present term of office and, unless appearances . are deceptive, Mr. Roosevelt will be re- tMipiiimtodby,hi8 party Ins own suc cessor. Whether or not he will be elect- • ed is a different tiling—The’Constitution *■ - hopes and believes that he will.be suc ceeded by- a democrat—but there is abnndaht time in the ^wo closing years of this administration for the president to make good all that lias been said for him as regards his attitude in the matter v ' of southern appointments, y This said, therefore, let ns give the president a fair showing, and let*us 1 , 7 ,. judge him by the future. If by his fu ture ^bourse he shows that he understands ; and appreciates conditions as they, exist j ■ 'in the south, he wili. go out of offioe with the same regard as that in which It seems that the check book route to th<?

Since the hay cures slowly and is subject to heating, it should be thor oughly dried before being stacked or stored in the barn; The hay-making should begin only when the weather promises to be fair.

Those Georgians who enlisted in the service of the United States during the Spanish-^American war are to get pay for the two weeks tlmt elapsed between the time they were accepted and the time when they were mustered into ser vice. The right of the soldiers to this extra compensation was discovered by Gov. Terrell and through his efforts the soldier- hoys are to get their back pay. The total sum of money that will come to the Georgia hoys'will be about $50,000. They will have to prove their claims just as if they were applying for pen sions. Good News For All Who Suffer With Rheumatism Free. THE VALUE OF PHOSPHORIC ACID As a Constituent of Plant Food It Is Most Important—»ln Same Class with Nitrogen and Potash—-!nteresting to Farmers!., */.

Is the same class with nitrogen largely both at home and abroad. <=«Wtoed. Some northern fruU and potash, they being the elements found only in small quantity in most cultivated soils, all the other elements necessary to plant life being usually present.; in profusion. Phosphoric acid, then, must be added to the soil it' we expect large yields. The vari ous sources of phosphoric acid, then, are of interest. Bones were the first and earliest form- in which phosphoric acid was applied to the} soli. Bones are* a com bination of organic and inorganic matter. The organic matter in a bone consists mainly of fat and a glutin ous matter;. the inorganic matter is chiefly phosphate of lime. This dual composition of a bone can be demon strated very graphically by taking the leg bone of an animal and soak ing it for quite ^ w&le In weak mu riatic acid. The acid will dissolve away the phosphate of lime, which gives rigidity and stiffness to the bone; and leave behind the glutinous, flexible animal matter of the bone, which will still retain the shape of the original bone. You can now. take this soft organic matter and tie it into a knot, without breaking it This soft animal matter of thd bone is rich In nitrogen, so that a bone fertilizer is a double manure, both phosphatic and nitrogenous. Bones vary a good deal In composition, according to the nature and age of the animal;' there Is not so much phosphate in the bones of a young animal as those of an old one. Even in the sajpoe animal, the hard thigh bones of an ox, for in stance, will contain more phosphate of lime than softer bones from other parts of the. animal. Bones to be of value should of course be ground, and the finer the grinding the better. A coarsely crushed-or ground raw bone, which has not been treated to remove any of its original'fatty matter, will decay with comparative slowness in the soil, and consequently biit little effect, might be perceived from Its application the first season. A good raw bone will contain on an average 22 per cent, phosphoric acid and 4 per cent, of nitrogen. Such a bone is qnite difficult to grind fine, and on its fineness depends In large measure its value as a fertilizer. But by boiling and steaming, much of the fat is removed, which has no value as a manure; some of the nitrogen is also removed In the form of glue and gelatine by the boiling and steaming process. This treatment however en ables the bone to be ground much finer than the raw bone, and where the process has been carried . out ve-y thoroughly, as in the manufacture of glue, the resulting ground bone may contain 'as/high as 30 per cent of, phosphoric fecid, but the nitrogen in this case will be reduced to less than 2 per cent. Actual experiments have shown that all the* phosphoric acid from' a finely ground steamed bone may become available in one to two reasons in the soil, while that from a coarse ground raw bone would not be come fully available in three' or four seaspns.

That they desire, for them selves, their associates, successors and assigns, to. become incorporated under the name and style of the “Cairo Vari ety Works.” Second. The term for which petition-: ere ask to become incorporated is for Twenty years with the privilege of re newal at the end of that time. Third. That the capital stock of the corporation is to be Three Thousand Dollars, divided into shares of One Hun- * dred Dollars each. Petitioners, how ever, ask the privilege of increasing said capital stock from time to time in a sum not exceeding Ten Thousand dollars upon a vote of two-thirds of the stock holders. Fourth. That the whole of said cap ital stock of Three Thousand dollars has been paid in. Fifth. Petitioners ask that the lia bility of the stockholders be limited to their unpaid stock subscription. , Sixth.' The object of the proposed corporation is pecuniary profit and gain to its stockholders. Petitioners propose to carry on the business of a general planing mill for dressing rough lumber, making said lumber into, all kinds of lumbers used in the construction of all buildings, to bny and sell rough lumber as well as dressed lumber; petitioners propose also to carry on the business of manufacturers of sash, doors, blinds and balisters; petitioners propose also to carry all such stocks of lumber, rough and dressed, as may be profitably han dled by them; petitioners also propose to carry on the business of a general gin nery for ginning cotton of both staples, to buy and sell cotton seed or to manu facture them into oil; petitioners also propose, with, their machine power to manufacture brick of all kinds, and ask authority for the same. Petitioners ask the authority to act as general agents or special agents for dfcher persons or companies in selling or handling any of the articles that might be used profita bly by said corporation; to hold real es tate and personal property; to borrow money and execute security therefor; to exercise the usual powers and to do all usual, necessary and proper acts which pertain t<W)r may be connected with the business as above • proposed. Seventh. Tlxe principal office and place of business of said proposed corpo ration will be in the town of Cairo, said state and county. Petitioners, however, ask the right to establish such branch offices as they may think proper. Wherefore petitioners prav to be ! made a body corporate under the name and style aforesaid, entitled to the rights, privileges and immunities- and subject ' to the liabilities fixed by law.
