Washington, March 19.—When asked if >;n oxtaa session of the Kentucky legislature could elect a successor to Senator Blackburn, i Senator Mitchell, chairman of the committee on privileges and elec j tions, said : “Undoubtedly, and its I their duty to elect one. I myself was elected by a special session of the legislature. The regular ses sion like the one just adjourned at Frankfort, frittered the term away balloting for a senator. An extra session was called soon afterwards and at the session 1 was elected.” Senator Gray, of Delaware, for mer chairman of that committee, I when asked for his opinion, said it ; was too delicate a matter to dis cuss, but said he guessed so.

Dorsett, who died Dec ember 17, Ist),s, after a brief illness. The. deceased came to his death from blood poson, caused by a slight wound in the foot inflicted only a short time before his death. We was a faitful husband and a lov ing devoted father. A short time be fore his death 1 wanted him to take some medicine, when he refused, say ing: “You have done all for me that can be done, and now I am only wait ing to be summoned home.” He was perfectly sensible to the last and gave diretions about his burial, and his fu neral services. He was eighty years old, and had lived in this county a long time. He will be greatly missed, not only I by his immediate family and relatives, but by all who knew him. He leaves an aged wife and live children, all -of whom were at his bedside when death came. But he is not dead, only asleep. Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, From which uoue ever wake to weep. When our work is done on earth we hope to meet him ou that bright shore where there is no more sorrow and death. May God heal all wounds, and may all the dear ones meet him in that bright anu happy home. Julia. *n» • axtor Bean In Georgia. Question 21.—1 am thinking of plant ing some castor beans in the neighbor hood of Rjine. I am told that if I ; raise them t here -will boa buyer here to purchase them. Will they grow in this seeti >n. and how should I plant and I prepare thorn for market ? Answer 21.—1 see uo good reason why the castor bean should not be I grown successfully in your section. The chief objection would be the want I of a market, and if you have that assured, there should be, I think, some I profit in the business. The castor bean I requires a good loamy soil, deeply I and thoroughly prepared, and should be planted iu rows 4 1 ., to 5 feet wide, . and 4to 4 feet apart in the rows. It is best to plant three or four seed to the hill, to insure a stand, as the cut worms i are some times troublesome. As soon i as the plants are well started, take out all but one to the hill. Cultivate as you i would corn, keeping down all grass and weeds. The large variety grow in the West Indies, is the best seed, and pref erable to the small lightcolored beans grown in some parts of the west. The ' seeds will begin to ripen in August, and continue to do so until frost kills the plants. When the pods on the spikes begin to crack, they should be cut and spread iu the sun to dry in the place previously prepared. This should be either a spot of hard, clean ground, or a scaffold. They should be spread thinly in order to dry well. There will be several gath erings of the crop, as the pode mature and ripen. In sunny weather, two to three days will dry the pods sufficiently for the leaves to shell out. When all the beans are out of the pods, the latter are raked off and the leaves gathered and cleaned by a fanning mill, or seed cleaner. They are then spread in a cool, dry place to become thoroughly dry. It is best to turn them occasionally during the drying process. The yield should be from 25 to 40 bushels per acre.— State Agricultural Department. STRUCK DOWN IN BATTLE. The Demeanor of Soldiers Disa bled on the Field. M. Quad in Detroit Free Press. It was strange and queer to watch the demeanor of men wound ed in battle. You might have stood beside hundreds who were struck down, and yet you would not have found two whose actions wore exactly alike. When hit while standing inactive most men throw up their bands and cried out and staggered about before falling. If bit while the regiment was ad vancing they fell with curses on their lips, and sometimes rose up again and limped painfully after their comrades. If reached by a bullet while the command was be ing driven or retreating or chang ing its position, then men wailed out like children—not so much over the hurt as because they were to be left on the field to suffer and would be helpless o protect them selves. When a regiment was in line, waiting to move to the right or the left or be advanced, the thud of a bullet as it struck a man could bo heard by the men on his right and left. If struck in the chest or shoulder or head her fell out of the ranks, threw up his hands with a shout, and then fell like a leg. If struck below the breast he nearly always lurched forward and placed his hands on the wound and sunk down with a groan. The demean or of no two wounded men was a like in minor particulars, but strangely alike in the first move ments. A soldier shot through the head or heart—shot dead in his tracks, ns you might term it —was not instantly killed. There was no such thing as instant death un less struck with a solid shot or blown to pieces by an exploded shell. No matter whether the bul let pierced heart or brain, the vic tim lived on for a few seconds— long enough to throw up his hands and call out and clutch at his com rades beside him for support. Few men preserved silence after being hard hit. After the first examination they cursed or wept, and were not conscious of what they did Each felt that he had been grieviously wronged by being shot down. Sometimes they cursed first and wept afterwards—some times wept and sobbed like chil dren from the first moment of feeling pain. The cursing and the weeping were the direct result of the nervous system being keyed too high by the excitement of the battle. If a wounded man was carried to the rear he soon got the better of his hysterics, and it was the same if left to himself for three or four hours on the field, provided the fighting had ceased in his vicinity. It was the wound ed who lay on a field where the fighting continued who were the most to be pitied. T,hey.feared to be wounded again or killed out right, and their shoutsand screams could be heard whenever the roar of battle died away a little. Bul let and ball and shell and grape shot were continually falling among them, and during the war thousands of soldiers were killed while lying wounded between the lines. The burial parties used to find bodies which had been hit frem three to ten times, and after Grant's first battle in the Wilder ness we found a confederate with twenty-three bullet wounds iu his dead body. And there was more than the fear of missiles before the eyes of the wounded men. If infantry charged over them they might not suffer, but if a battery changed position or there was a charge of cavalry they might be ground into the earth. When in his normal condition a cavalry horse will not step on the body of a man lying in his path, but when excited to mad ness by the roar of battle the steeds of war will trample down anything. The wounded men ly ing about must take their chances when the bugles blow a charge. Some would escape the iron-shod hoofs—others would be almost j beaten into the earth. It was the ! same way if a battery was retired .or advanced. The change of posi- SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, MARCH 25, 1896 tion was made with horses on tho dead run, and their riders could take no thought of the dead and wounded lying in the way. The fate of a brigade or division, or even a wing of the army, might be at stake, and the sacrifice of a score of men already wounded did not count. When the guns were ad vanced at Chancellorsville to check Jackson’s twi-ight attack the earth was fairly cumbered with the dead and wounded. On the few acres of c eared ground over which the guns had to advance were camp fires, knapsacks, haversacks, stack ed muskets and several hundred men who had fallen under the vol leys poured in fixjm the edge of tho forest. The guns dashed right into and over this jumble, and a bove tho roar of musket-y tho oncoming confederates we caught the screams and shrieks of our wounded men as they realized that death was to come under the heavy wheels. The burial parties were always pushed for time, and yet there was no time to look into the faces and observe tho attitudes of the dead and notice that death seldom come to two alike. Some suffered ago nies from their wounds—others died as peacefully as if no twinge of pain had been felt. Some had their lips parted as if praying to God or uttering farewells to the loved ones at home—others had lips compressed and their faces showed grim determination or an ger, Sometimes a wounded man had crawled away into the bushes or behind stump or log to die. On his bronzed cheeks partly bleached by the touch of death, we would find traces of tears, and the hard lines would be softened down. When struck down as they moved and dying within a few minutes they carried fierce, stern faces and clenched hands, and nearly always their eyes were wide open and their lips parted to show their teeth. If the musket had not fallen from their hands under the shock of the missile it was clenched so tightly that their stiffened fingers had to bo opened one by one, There was no pity for the wound ed while the fight was on. Now and then it was possible to alle viate thirst, or iu case of an officer to carry him to the rear, but the unwounded had little thought of the fallen. It was only when night came down and the roar of battle had died out to a growling and sputtering here and there that a new sound rose on the evening air to pale the faces of the veterans lying about with open haversacks. It was a sound which began like the far off murmur of a mighty crowd—which came nearer and nearer —which swelled in volume till it drowned all other sounds — which separated itself from the shouts of men, neighing of horses, peals of bugles and rattle of drums —one great overpowering wail from the thousands of wounded men which went right to the heart and caused every man to lift his bead and whisper: “Poor fellows —G> d pity them !” Not to be Trifled With.

Governor Atkinson has finally decided that he will not retire from politics, but on the other hand will serve out his term as governor and will, if his party gives him the nomination, be a candidate for a second term. He had declined tho flattering busi ness offer that was made to him. The following is the first author itative announcement of the gov ernor's decision in his excellency's own words: “I have decided to decline the business offer made mo, and if my party gives me the nomination to become a candidate for governor. ' the standpoint of those who believe that to make money is mail’s highest duty,” adefed the governor, “1 know I am making a great but I cannot accept the view they t'ake-4Tf it. It is my desire to l»e of service to my fellow man, to aid in the development of the state and to contribute to her happiness and greatness. If I can pursue this ambition with even a small degree of success it will be to me a great reward and higher evidence of a successful career than accumulated wealth. Thoroughly appreciating the political condi tions which surround us, my sense of duty will not permit me to dis regard the wishes of the numerous members of the party who urge me to enter the race for governor, when my only reason for declining would be purely a selfish one Pub lic life has always been to my taste and the position of governor is in lino with my ambition, so I sha'l again become a candidate.” All Free.

I have a 4-year-old mare, which is suffering with what I am told is grease heel. Her forelegs, from her knees to her hoofs, are swol len and hard, and her ankles are swol len. Above and between the ankles it is cracked. I have washed her legs every morning with warm salt water and wiped dry. I have tried blue vitriol, sulphur and lard, and various liniments, but she gets no better. Can , you tell me what to do ? Answer s.—Keep the animal in a clean, dry stall. Avoid wetting the ! sores or cracks, therefore do not wash them with water. Four or five times ! daily apply liberally to the sores a lini- i ment composed of one part of liquid subacetate of lead to three parts of ol ive oil. Prersevere in this treatment, and I have no doubt you will cure the animal, unless the sores or cracks arc deeper than your description would in- > dicate. In that case yow will need the , services of a veterinary surgeon. After the sores have been healed, bandaging and proper exercises will reduce the ! swelling.—State Agricultural Depart- ; ment.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report ABSOLUTELY PURE IS IT A FAKE? Some of the Subscribers to the Li brary Seem to Think So. Last week two young women, representing the “Southern Libra- Association,” were in town for the purpose of getting up a library. Miey got it, that is, the money for it, but the twenty-five people who subscribed to it seem to be in doubt as to whether they themselves have gotten anything. Each subscriber paid $1.50 for a year, making $37.50 in all, and for this sum total thirty-five books were placed at Arrington’s drug store for their use. These will be removed at the end of six months and thirty-five other books put in. Since the women have gone and the books are here, numbers of people have condemned it as a “fake.” They will have nothing for theii money except the privi lege of reading the seventy books, as the books are removed at the end of the year. A News reporter examined the books at the drugstore. They arc .very good as to the style of litera ture, about half of them being no vels by standard authors, as Dick ens and Scott, with one or two volumes of lectures by Emerson and Ruskin. The others might be termed “trashy,’ The bindings, however, are cheap and the print is poor. This is where the fake comes in. Now it is an actual fact that these books may be bought in Chattanooga at nineteen cents each. This reporter has bought them and knows whereof she speaks. So it is true that $37.50 would have purchased 225 of those books, as they may probably be gotten a little under 19 cents in such large numbers. And the peo ple would have had a very respec table sort of library of their own. The success those plausible, smooth-tongued we men had here induces the belief that people rather like to be humbugged. It will be remembered that the pro ject of having a town library was discussed incidentally with other matters of public concern, in a meeting held at the courthouse last year. Capt. Cleghorn broach ed the matter and practically of fered to bear the larger part of the expense for the first year. lie of fered to contribute not less than .fifty books to be selected by a com mittee; and he expected to give about one hundred dollars to the enterprise, inclusive of the pur chase money for tLe books he gave. If the sum of $37 50 had been add ed to this a nucleus for a good, substantial public library would have been formed, a room rented, and a pleasant meeting place for the people established. This would have been productive of both pleas ure and profit but the enterprise fell through for lack of support. This would seem to prove the as sertion that people like to be hum bugged and also to illustrate the proverb, “a prophet is not without honor save in his own country.” Last season Ike L.

New York, Mar-ch 19.—A dis patch to the World from Havana says: Maceo s band, now concentrated in I inar del Rio, met the columns of Colonel Hernandez and Colonel Ynclan near Candelaria, Tuesday. Maceo has been joined by Ban dera. Altogether the insurgents, nearly 5,000 strong, opened lire from dense thickets on the troops under Colonel Hernandez as the latter was proceeding at a gallop.' Ihe Spanish leader threw out a strong skirmish line consisting of the Tariefa battalion and the Vic toria squadron of cavalry and ar tillery. The insurgents were driv en back out rallied to the second charge, their machetes in the air. The Spanish troops met the on slaught firmly and compelled their assailants to retreat a second time. In the confusion the Spanish troops used their bayonets, killing and wounding many of the insur gents. Darkness ended the hostil ities. Maceo met with a heavy loss. Iho highest ranking Spanish officers killed were Captain Toro jas and CaptainGuerioro. The to tal Spanish loss was 00 killed and wounded. The engagement was the most serious which has occur red, being no mere skirmish, hut a formidable contest of the opposing forces. The lieutenant colonel command ing the Luchana battalion and the major commanding the two com panies of the Tariefa battalion led the charge in front of their men. They will be promoted.
