MAKE CONCESSION TO RENTERS.
Practical Plan Suggested for Aidinq Small
farmers in Reducing Acreage.
One of the greatest problems con¬
cerning the reduction of cotton acre
age has been that of large land own¬
ers who do not actually farm them¬
selves. To have a large number ol
tenants and expect of them so much
rent in the fall, and then expect them
to reduce I he acreage and at the same
tlm pay rent and make a living for
themselves was a question that war
causing those In favor of reducing
the acreage much concern, but Hon.
Dudley M. Hughes, president of the
Georgia Agricultural Society, has come
forward with a plan, which, if adopted,
will be a great help to the reduction
of acreage movement.
Mr. Hughes, who owns several thou¬
sand acres of land in middle Georgia,
and whose tenants operate about two
hundred plows, has agreed to accept
corn, peas, oats, fo-dder, cane or any
other farm product at its market val¬
ue in lieu of cotton for rent, provided
each tenant will cut his cotton acre¬
age to fifteen acres to the plow.
Mr. Hughes made this announce¬
ment several days ago, and as It
seems a very feasible idea there is
no doubt but that it will be carried
out to a large extent.
In speaking of the matter Mr.
Hughes said:
‘‘All of my tenants have agreed to
the plan. Last year they had on an
average about twenty-five acres to the
plow. This year they will have only
fiften. The amount of fertilizer pur¬
chased has also been reduced one
half. I hope that every lsnd owner
In the cotton belt who does not actu*
ally farm himself, but who has. a large
number of tenants can adopt this plan
or one similar.”
PRICE SEEKS COETON QUOTATIONS.
^' res Southern Merchants for Lowest
Figures on fleecy Staple.
Several prominent cotton merchants
of Charlotte, N. C., received telegrams
Friday from Theodore Price, asking
for lowest quotations on cotton for
immediate delivery in New York.
It is understood that Mr Price has
sent inquiries of a similar nature
throughout the south, in the hope of

The merchants of Charlotte, with¬

prices for their cotton, it would be
impossible for them to consider any
propositions that be might make for

MAT FORCE PLANTS 10 CLOSE.
Manufacturers nf Fertilizers are Now Fac
inq a Serious Situation.
The wholesale reduction in the use
of fertilizers by cotton planters, says
a Huntsville, Ala., dispatch, makes a
serious situation for the manufactur¬
ers, and many of them will have to
close down. It is not possible for the
factories to sell as much as 75 per
cent of the usual amount sold to cot
ton planters. Many country merchants
are fighting the movement of the
planters to reduce their cotton crop
this season.

Knew Where He Was Safe.
The small boy’s sublime trust in
bis friend, the policeman, is no more
marked at times than a common
street dog’s recourse to the same em¬
bodiment of authority as its only ref¬
uge. An amusing case occurred the
other day at Chestnut and Juniper
streets. A thin, dirty white mongrel
of the regular “board-yard” type had
taken its station for protection at
the feet of a very large reserve who
was directing traffic.
As the dog distracted his attention
somewhat he waved his stick at it,
but while it crouched submissively at
his feet at this sign of displeasure it
would not go away. As people passed
it and nearly trod on It it would sneak
out of their way in a peculiarly help¬
less manner and kept continually get¬
ting in danger of being run over by
trolley cars, cabs and wagons and on
occasions the complication of traffic
became so great that the dog had to
flee for its life to the pavement.
But to the amusement of every one
who noticed the little comedy as soon
as it could it would return anxiously
to the feet of the reserve, for in spite
of his stick and his stern look some¬
how in its doggy brain it had worked

THE TRICKS
Coffee Pl»yi on Some.
It hardly pays to laugh before yon
are certain of facts, for it Is sometimes
humiliating to think of afterwards.
“When I was a young girl I was a
lover of coffee, but was sick so much
the doctor told me to quit and I did, but
after my marriage my husband begged
me to drink it again as he didnot think
it was the coffee caused the troubles.
“So I commenced it again and con¬
tinued about 6 months until my stom¬
ach commenced acting bad and choking
as if I had swallowed something the
size of an egg. One doctor said it was
neuralgia and indigestion.
“One day I took a drive with my hus¬
band three miles in the country and I
drank a cup of coffee for dinner. I
thought sure I would die before I got
back to town to a doctor. I was drawn
double in the buggy and when my hus¬
band hitched the horse to get me out
into the doctor’s office, misery came up
in my throat and seemed to shut my
breath off entirely, then left all In a
flash and went to my heart The doc¬
tor pronounced it nervous heart trouble
and when I got home I was so weak
I could not sit iup.
“My husband brought my supper to
tuA bedside with a nice cup of hot
coffee, but I said: ‘Take that back,
dear, I will never drink another cup of
coffee if you gave me everything you
are worth, for ijt is just killing me.’ He
and the others laughed at me and said;
“ ’The idea of coffee killing anybody.'
“ ‘Well,’ I said, ‘it is nothing else but
coffee that is doing it.’
“In the grocery one day my husband
was persuaded to buy a box of Postum
which he brought home and I made it
for dinner and) we both thought how
good it was but said nothing to the
hired men and they thought they had
drank coffee until we mughed and told
them. Well, we kept on with Postum
and it was not} long before the color
came back to my cheeks and I got
stout and felt a s good as I ever did in
my life. I have) no more stomach trou¬
ble and I know I owe it all to Postum

FINAL SHO^AT SWANE. j
An Echo of Recent Impeachment Pro¬
ceedings is Heard in the House
of Representatives.
A Washington dispatch says; The
house, at Wednesday night's session,
passed the general deficiency appro
priation bill, the last of the great
supply measures to be acted upon.
The total amount carried is $31,224,
074.
The temper of the house regarding
the Swayne impeachment verdict was
shown when amendments were at¬
tached to the bill restricting the tea
doilar a day limit for expenses of
United States judges so that expend¬
itures above five dollars a day shall
be certified upon proper (vouchers,
with the further proviso that in case
a judge presents a false claim for
expenses he shall be fined not less
than $100 and imprisonment for not
less than ten days.
Mr. Maynard of Virginia offered an
amendment increasing the salary of
the president to $75,000 per annum,
and that of the vice president to
$15D00 per annum, and providing upon
retirement, of the president a salary
of $25,000 per annum, but a point of
order against it by ML Baker of New
York was sustained by the chair.
An amendment by Mr. Sherman of
New York to appropriate $190,000 for
mileage for senators, members and
delegates for attending the second
session provoked much discussion. It
was opposed by Mr. Underwood of Ala¬
bama, upon the ground of illegality and
because the house would be put in an
im.pj-opCi attitude.
After Messrs. Littlefield of Maine,
de Armond of Missouri and Gudger of
North Carolina had spoken in opposi¬
tion, the amendment was adopted.
The conference report on the mili¬
tary academy bill was adopted and
other appropriation bills passed by
the senate were sent to conference.
When the mileage amendment to
the general deficiency bill was report¬
ed ho the house Mr. Underwood of
Alabama demanded a separate vote.
The amendment on division was agreed
to, 63 to 46. MY. Underwood de¬
manded the yeas and nays, but Mr.
accordingly was called, the vote being
taken on the amendment at the same
time. By a vote of 90 to 80 the
amendment was agreed to amid ap¬
plause. It required over an hour to
secure a quorum, the vote remaining
practically a tie throughout the call
and swaying first to one side and then
the other. The most intense Interest
prevailed. The advocates and oppon¬
ents of the proposition were very act¬
ive on the floor of the house and out
in the lobbies securing votes. Mr.
Gaines of Tennessee protested in a
question to the speaker as to whether
a member had the right to lobby
among his colleagues. ‘TAsk the chair
something easy,” responded the speak¬
er amid thunderous applause. Mr.
Gaines did not further pursue his in¬
quiry. The bill then passed and the
house adjourned until 12 o'clock.
COLD RECEPTION FOR STOESSEL.
Defender of Port Arthur Given a Pitiful
Welcome at St. Petersburg.
Lieutenant General Stoessel arrived
iu St. Petersburg Wednesday morning
from Moscow. A quarter of an hour
before his train was due it looked as
if not more than a hundred persons
would be present to welcome the de¬
fender of Port Arthur, but their num
^ er augmented rapidly and when the
train steamed into the depot many
hundreds of people, especially women,
crowded on the platform.
Two months ago all Russia was
singing the praises of the defender of
Port Arthur, yet when he came home
comparatively few people assembled to
cheer him.
LQY'ING CLIPS PRESENTED LEADERS.
Speaker Cannon and Representative Wil¬
liams Honored bv House Members.
In the final session of the house
Saturday morning one legislative act
was performed by the passing of a
bill, but the session for the most part
was devoted to the congratulatory
ceremonies ususal to the close of a
congress. Speaker Cannon was not
only thanked by a unanimous vote of
the house, but was presented with
a loving cup by the members. Repre¬
sentative Williams of Mississippi, the
. leader of the minority, was given a
like compliment by his associates.
