Siuco Mr. Thomas 1’renthaw, chair
man of tbo Railroad Commission of
Georgia, wrote his now ceiebrted let
ter to Senator McLaurm his friends
have discussed his attitude, politically,
at some length. A special dispatch sent
out from .Vtlauta Sunday is to the effect
that Mr. Crenshaw has applied for a posi
tion under the Itepublican administra
tion and his application is now on lilo
in Washington. Mr. Crenshaw was in
Washington recently aud held a long
conference with President McKinley.
He asked foi a consulate to Cuba,
the one at Havana preferred. Presi
dent McKinley intimated, it is said,
that the federal prison was to be open
ed at Atlanta soon, and he might be
able to give Col. Crenshaw an office
there. The authority for thia state
ment is none other than Congressman
Livingston, who saya that Crenshaw’s
application is in Washington, and that
Col. Crenshaw had asked for his aid
in securing the place.

CAROLINA REDEEMED.
The resignation of Senators Tillman

Saturday is the sensation of the day in

Memphis, May 2’J.—A cloudless sky
aud a cool western breeze were in evi
dence at the second day’s session of the
confederate veterans. There was no
question of a postponement today of the
flower parade or of any other feature of
the reunion, and tho program today will
without doubt bo carried out in full.
The exercises iu Confederate hall
were opened at 10:20 a. m. by the sing

and the offering of a prayer by the Rev.
Mr. Blackard of tha Methodist church

by tho chairman of the committee, J.

with an aggregate attendance of 2,801
delegates. Texas had the largest repre.
sentation, with 129 camps and 451 dele,
gates. The report was adopted as read.
Call For Police.
Daring the opening of tho convention
it was almost impossible to hear any
thing 20 feet from the platform. The
reading of the report was frequently in
terrupted by the shouts of delegates
who claimed that they could not distin
guish anything uttered.
“Is the sergoaut-at-armsiu the place?’
called General Gordon.
'He is,” replied one of his assistants
'Then I request,” said the command
er, “that he secure a policeman am

pears that more mills than are out

is, to reduce wages 10 per cent., and
to shorten production nntil the pres

KEEP YOUR BLOOD GLEAN
Wo noto somo good suggestions iu a
lato bulletin issuod from tho Experi
ment station Manhattan, Kansas. Tho
horse, cow or Bhoep will do well and
thrive on good pasture in spring and
summer alone. But if this grass be
cut and cured into good hay and fod
alone to the animals thoy will loso
their appetites in a short time and be-
como thinner and will cease to look
welL Cause? The hay Is a dry, while
the grass Is a succulent feed. Rome-
Ay: Grow somo succulent feed for the
winter.
After corn silage, we would suggest
roots as perhaps the next best succulent
feed for winter uso. One of the best of
root feeds is tho mangel wurzels. Su
gar boets have been grown successfully
by only a few Georgia farmers, so far
ns wo know. Mangels can be grown
profitably in our climate, provided a
good rich soil, with plenty of moisture,
is selected. Prepare nu acre of laud as
you would a garden, and dropping the
seed ns you plant garden beets, in rows
80 inches ntmrt. Six pounds of seed are
required tor nn acre. The long red
mangel yields most, but it is not a good
keeper. The golden tankard will keep
until June. Cultivate ns you do coru.
Thin with a hoe to one plant every six
inches in the row.
The mangels aro good to aid in fat
tening your hogs; mako your cows
give rich milk, help tho calves get
through the winter nnd spring. Try nu
acre. Should bo planted from tho mid-
dlo of March to the 10th of April, not
later.—State Agricultural Department
