• the
cash returned to treasury.
Xbe annual report of the Commis
sioner of Pensions, soon to be publish-
ed,will show that Commissioner Evans
tarns back into the treasury for the
fiscal year just ended approximately
j- 000 , H)( , The appropriation by Con
fess fur that year was $141,000,000, of
which 11:30,000,000 has been disbursed.
The idea that the round sum of $5,-
i»h») was returned to the treasury,
when it might have been paid out
through them, will probably rearouse
the wrath of the pension attorneys
against the commissioner. They know
very well that if the commissioner had
reported a deficiency of $5,000,000 in
stead of a surplus of that amount, Con
gress would have honored it, hence
they will hurl anathemas at the head of
the man who permits all of this good
money to rust in the treasury, merely
in order to be honest.
The Augusta Chronicle says it is wil
ling to pm its faith to Georgia’s senior
Senator.
“Senator Bacon will return from his
Oriental trip loaded with information,
and a large constituency with faith in
his judgment and honesty will await
with interest his report of Philippino
conditions.”
In transporting second-class matter
the United States postoffice depart
ment pays out $00,000,000 a year and
receives only $4,000,000 for the work.
It is the postmaster general who makes
the statement. Otherwise the figures
would seem incredible.
Ohio Democrats at their state con
vention will put forth the first notable
Democratic platform of the year. The
reorganizers of the party are busy and
it is said that Mr. Bryan’s doctrines
will be dropped to the rear.

government m the not and and far
west, lias proven itself to be able to re
-i't the hot, dry weather of that climax
better than any other grass, and with
u> it Mtnnld prove a valuable pasture
grass m summer as well as a good hay
gru>s. It should be sown in spring.
However, to allow it to become woi'
rooted to enable it to resist file winter
After cutting off a crop of bay u
summer it mould be allowed to grow
until autumn, wtien it wtit affordabuud
months. W iru tins grass for sunimei
for winter pasture. curia ami sheep will
dn well oil V. ry .ltrie other feed, except
ruarv. when our lands are usually toe
wet for carta; to run upon. It would bt
hard to find a better combination than
those two grasses afford for not ouiy ar
ail the year round pasture, but for val
liable and abundant hay as well.
1 have said tins much about tin
Bromus inermis because it is a new
grass for the south, being a native of the
far west, and to suggest that it would
be a good scheme to hdvo your depart
ment introduce it here, for l am quite
sure not one fanner in a dozen kuow.-
the value of this grass.
As for the winter Bromus, or Rescue
grass, as you are pleased to call it, then
s no grass that will make better hay.
and as a winter pasturage grass it i
incomparably the best. Not eveu rye
or barley will staud the winter better oi
make more growth. It should be sown
on good land, for poor laud will nof
make any good crop.
The seed bed should bo well prepared,
as for any other grass, and the seed
sown about a bushel and a half to th«
acre, early in the autumn—say the tirsl
week in September, or as soon there
after as possible, if you want early win
ter pasture. I should judge it might b*
sown in spring, as it is safe to sow oats,
but the difference will bo that you find
between spring and fall sown oats. Ii
will not bo safe to sovv it late in the
spring, as it is not fond of hot weather.
It can be cut early in may, when fully
green, for hay, and then, if the season
Is propitious, you may harvest later in
June a light crop of seed, owing a good
deal to the strength of vour land. But
left to seed it will bear an abundant
crop, say at least 50 or more bushels per
acre.
If cut in the "dough” state, as we some
times cut oats, it will give you a feed
equal to that of sheaf oats.
There is no other grass that will stand
more water. It will remain unhurt lor
ten days under 10 feet of water ami
seem to continue to grow. Therefore,
it is valuable for low, wet river lauds.
In reference to this subject Mr. W. M
Gammon of Rome says as follows:
"I am neither a farmer nor an agros
tologist and dou’t pretend to kuow, but
it would give mo great satisfaction it
Mr. Redding was mistaken. I have tiU
acres of it, am cuttiug and have been
for two weeks, for hay. Am selling it
in the field for $15 per ton. Off of l l *
acres of good laud 1 cut five tous of ha>
cured. All I kuow is that it makes good
hay and sells readily.”
Yours truly,

RAIDED CHARLESTON TIGERS flf
IS SAID TO BE OVER
Oilleers Tear V\t Illegal Kstabllsb
meats Iu City.
Charleston, July 11.—Blind tigers
that have breathed defiance of the dis
pensary law ever since it went into op
eration were completely whipped out by
a small army of liquor constables that
hit the city yesterday. Without warn
ing the constables raided the more fash
ionable bars, seized all the liquors on
hand, locked and sealed the refrigera
tors and upset counters iu a real Kansas
style. Handsome mirrors were seized
and carted away. The places were so
completely emptied that the dealers
could not have sold tonight had they
shown the inclination. The officers
were iu command of Chief LaFar, who
was transferred here from Greenville,
and he let it be known that he would
keep raiding all night. Fearing trouble
the keepers had a hasty conference and
decided to stay closed for u day or two
at least.
This is the first time on record that
such a conditiou has existed iu Charles
ton and shows that me law could hava
been enforced all along if the police de
partment had had the backboua. The
local constabulary has’ been friendly
with the tigers and the raids heretofore
were farcical.
TYSON GUILTY OF'BIGAMY.
Swindled, Had Two Wives and Gels
Ten Years.
Raleigh, July 11.—Iu the superior
court today W. J. Tyson, who swindled
the Virginia State Life Insurance com
pany by forged proofs of his wife’s
death, was tried for bigamy. His first
wife swore he had deserted hor at Fay
etteville and came to Kaleigh; that her
brother, A. W. Waddill, at her request,
telegraphed Tyson she was dead iu or
der to get him to Fayetteville; that ho
went, saw her and the children and
stayed several days. He collected mon
ey, alleging his wife’s death.
A magistrate here swore he had mar
ried Tyson to a woman named Powell
last March. Tyson was at Virginia
Beach with this wife when arrested.
The jury found Tyson guilty. The
judge sentenced him to ten years. His
first wife, with an infant of six months
in her arms, went to the jail at his re
quest and told him p,oodby. Ho asked
her pardon for the great wrong he had
done her, and, for the sake of their
children, she said she forgave him.
NEGROES OF*THE NATION.
N'allouiil industrial Convention In Ses

Jackson, Miss., July 13.—Tlio Na
tional Industrial convention met here
today for a two days session. Promi
nent negroes from all over the south are

The object as stated is to encourage
industrial education and commercial
developments, to organize farmers, to
train the muscles of youth, elevate their
morals, and to encourage the negroes to
keep out of the courts, save money and
buy homes.
The welcome address was delivered
by Secretary of State Power, who as
sured them that the white people in
Mississippi indorsed their efforts to im
prove their race.

THE FIGHT IS NOW ENDED
Existing Kates 111 tile Middle West

and Threatened Disturbances Will

New Y'ork, July 13. — The Herald
say?;
‘All prospect of a rate war iu the ter
ritory of the Central Traffic association
ended at the recent meeting of
presidents and other officials of the rail*
roads iu that territory. There has been
for some time talk of disturbances iu
the middle west and south, aud this
meeting showed that there had been a
great deal of cause for the talk. The
further extension of the rate to the Cen
tral Traffic association and the apparent
friendly relations at the recant meet
ings aud good business wore discussed.
Good Hiialues* Reported*
•J. F. Luckie of the Central Traffic
association presided. About 40 officers
were iu attendance. The roads all re
ported good business aud thero was a
decided unanimity of decision that no
excuse existed for cutting rates. A
good deal of discussion was found
necessary, however, before anything
could be decided. It was admitted that
rates east from St. Louis and Chicago
had suffered needlessly, and before the
meeting broke up a decision had been
reached to maintain the schedule figures
firmly, beginning with July 23.”

’ussenger Line Steumer Ou the Rocks
at Fastnet.
Queenstown, July 13.—The Cork Ex
aminer today prints a sensational story
of the miraculous escapo of a four-
masted passenger steamer, westward
bound, from being wrecked off the Fast-
net rocks at 3 o’clock p. m. yesterday.
The Examiner said the fog lifted iu the
nick of time to save the vessel from a
fearful disaster.
The lightkeepers at Fastnet were hor
rified to see a steamer from the east
running full on the Little Fastuet, 400
yards east-southeast. Fastnet immedi
ately discharged an alarm gun, signall
ing the urgent danger. Before the liner
could be slowed up or her engines re
versed she had apparently touched the
Little Fastnet rock, as she was seen to
list to starboard and then to port.
* The onlookers noticed a momentary
tceiie of great excitement on board the
liner, but she was apparently uninjured,
as she proceeded.
