GRASS HOPPERS.
Doing Immense Damage in West
Tennessee.
Huntingdon, Tenu , August 21.
Fine raiu« throughout June and July
brought corn anti cotton into the best
condition known in West Tennessee
in years. But now legions of grass
hoppers are appearing in some locali
ties and are completely deviating th e
fields.
Their voracity is not satisfied un
til they have devoured even the cob
and stalk of voting corn and have
stripped the cotton stalk of its foliage
squares and bark,
Farmers here in C rroll and Weak
ly counties are spending their best
energies hi driving them into straw
pits and burning them. One man, in
bis dessperation. drove ahorde of th
pests into bis barn and then fired it
to eave his growing crops
These raidings Acrydians are to be
found in every of developmer t,
from the wingless baby hopper to the
adult as large as a humming bird,
all ravaging the fields together. Un
less they are successfully me* soc n
immense damage will be sustained
in the West Tennessee counties.

Russell Sage
The gres-.t financier, gives the fnlkw
ing goal advice to boys, which
parents might also read with profit:
“ Boys, go to school as long as you
can, and remember every hour spent in
study in your youth will be worth money
to you in after life. Read good books;
make yourself acquainted with history;
study the progress of nations and the
■careers ot men who have made
nations graat.
“ Study religion, science, statecraft
and history. Learn to read
intelligently, so that you can turn to
practical use in after life the reading
■of your youth. Be sure you begin
right. Do not waste time in reading
■trashy boots.”
Mr. Sage further says:
“ The boy who is wanted in the
business word of today must be
educated. If his parents cannot afford to
give him a college or a high school
eduucaiion he must learn to study
■without the aid of a teacher, in the early
mornings before business begins, and
In the evenings .after business hours.
It can no longer be truthfully said that
an education is out of any one’s
reach.”
This is the advke of a man who Is
one of the most censpicuous business
successes of our time, and who has
amassed one of the largest fortunes in
America. It cannot possibly be
charged that he is in .the pay of THE
ATLANTA CONSTJWTJON, and yet
these words given as the conviction of i
life of unusual observation and
experience advises as strongly as words
can that you hasten to accept the offer
of The Constitution, and secure this
greatest of popular educators, The
Encyclopaedia Britannica.
The edition offered by The
Constitution fills every requirement m

ROME GEORGIA. TUESDAY EVENING AUGUST. 21 1894.
“CZAR” WATSON
Barns Stormsrs are After his
Scalp
THE DALTON ECONOMIST
A Rank Poculist Sheet is Camo
ing on the Trail of the
$56 a Week Editor of
the Populistic Daily
of Atlanta
The people of Tom Watson's
own party are getting dead on to
him and the-’ a r e after Tommie’s
seal p.
They finally have found out he
is a dictator of the rule or ruin or
der, and he is being accused of
breaking up rhe Third Party, and
working it for hisown selfish ends
L, P Barnes, a leading Third
Party man, ami editor ot The Dal
ton Econmist, i strong Party
paper, is out in the following card
•‘to the people of Georgia,” in
which he bitterly denounces Tom
Watson.
“It is not necessary that the ed
tor of this paper should assure the
people of this State that he is a
Populist and that he represents
true Jeffersonian and People’s Par
ty doctrine. have proven my
faith by my works and I write this
card to warn the Populist party of
this State of the impending dan
gers that confront it.
“We have fought trusts, combi
nations, usurpations, monopoly
and one-man power and rmgs of
every description, and I believe in
true Jeffersonian Democracy, but
when I see a man arrogating to
himself rhe right of a dictator in
such away and in such an alarming
extent that the Czar of Russia
would be ashamed and tremble to
do, or the greatest King of the
strongest monarchy of the world
would refrain from doing, I think
it is lime to warn my people of the
trouble that is just ahead. ■
“The Populist party, as I under*
stand it, does not belong to any
one BMtn in Georgia or elsewhere.
Let me warn you against follow
ing the wild schemes of the man
that L dictating the policy of our
party in this State.
“He is a dangerous leader.and if
we foB«w him, we can only hope at
last to yap the reward which will
he bitter remorse and woe.
‘ z Let us as true and tried Popu.
list s —a party composed of the peo
ple—the whole people—work in
harmony together as a party, and
not be side-tracked by this lord of
lords, the Grand Mogul—who is
throwing such a light in front by
his tremendous brain that it is
impossible to see the party at all.
We do not want a dictator. Har
mony is the great thing with us.
“One-half of the Third Party
members will leave it and go back
to the Democratic or Republican
party before they will submit to
Watson’s dietorial methods. He
has relegated the old-timers to the
rear and allied himself with new
recruits for spoils. He has ignored
the white labor of the State, and
they will not vote with us if Wat
son is to be a dictator longer.”
Editor Barues goes on to call Mr
Watsou, to account for the money
subscribed to furnish forth hie
newspaper, which paper, he says,
“consists of a lead pencil and some
paper to write abuse on.’’“Where”
he asks,“is the SIU,OOO, the $20,000
or the $50,000.” Echo answers,
“Where?” And then he asks this
question :*‘lt is a big I and a little
u. Is he not using it to boom him
self for Congress in the Tenth?
Can such methods further the Pop
nlistic movement?”
He co icludes by saying that the
Populists will not submit to Wat
son’s ru'e or ruin policy. He says
Watson has tried to boss the party
from the first, and that he is bos
sing it now, and says emphatical
ly that Watson knows his charges
aie facts, and that they are true.
The article has created a great
sensation.

ROME MASONS? ALARMED
Because ofthe Report Thatthe
“ Greaser JBeast js" Lay
ing for"the Masonic
Goat. Extra Guards
'Ordered
A storv leaked out today which
adds a new feature to the “Mexi
can Lion's” career iu tips section
and makes amost thrilling chapter
m the ‘‘Romantic career of that
mysterious beast.
It seems that the many expedi
tious made by daring Rbmaus has
so alarmed his Lionshijp for his
Cohn safety, I that during a recent
thunder and rain storm* the“star”
had slipped and the “aurtain of
n’.ght"had dropped to the deck of
the earth, he quit the living hills
of Reesburg and the-emfrald vales
of noetic Silver Creek and made
his way to the heait of the Impe
rial city of Rome,
And but for the watchful eye of
the great, keeper of the most
worshipful the Sacred Sir William
Goat, of Romes Masonic Temple
the monsters whereabouts might
not have been discovered,
Ab it was the watchful keeper
onto the Mexican last night as he
was crouching in his jungle, pre
pairing to make his way to the
Temple roof where the sacred goat
was browsing on the mogs grown
slate.
A still alarm was rung in on the
F & A. M. people and while new
deputy keepers,, armed to th?
teeth wrere being sworn in, a dele
gation of leading moguls were
dispatched to Washington city.
Yes the lion, John Reuses Mexi
can Lion has made his lair in the
refuge of the jungle on the Gov
ernments bought and paid for
right for Romes public building,
And if the Government dont fur
nish aid to at the lust cleor the
jungle and drive the lion out then
perhaps Atlanta will take a part
ot her $200,000 appropi lation and
send a man up here and ketch the
lion and take him down tojthe
Gress Zoo.—Anything to save the
Masnic Goat. See?

Lucinda Allen was seized with
colic. Physicians aud nureses
after six hours of attention pro
nounced her dead.
She was dressed and laid in her
coffin and just as the cortege was
about to start to the grave a neigh
bor asked for a last look at her.

BLACK MILK. BUT GOOD.
Butter Like Coal Tar From a Bov
ine Freak.
Ed Marsh of Meneral township
comes to the front with a story that
is both wonderful and unique hut
true in every detail
About live weeks ago a Durham
Alderny cow aged 2 years gave
birth to a calf and they began to
milk the cow but were tbunder
strdek when they discovered its
milk was biack.
The calf however thrived upon
the milk and last week Mrs. Marsh
having overcome her prejudices
decided to try some of the mflk,
says the Pitisburg Dispatch.
It tasted the same as other milk
only it was much richer and by
leaving a crock of it set for four
hours nearly two inches of cream
a little lighter in color than the
milk would rise on top. Two gal
lons of the cream were churned
and four pounds of butter were se
cured.
The butter was examined by a
creamist who pronounced it per
fect butter except in color aud
gave the reason for the color some
thing yet unknown to science in
the blood of the animal.
The butter much resembles coal
tar aud has a delicious tast. Peo
ple are coming from far and near
to see the freak and Mr.
has been offered big sums, of
money for the cow. He has hope
that he can raise some more stock
of the same kink.
A roll of butter will be shortly seut
to this city and placed on exhibition
The milk makes fairly good ink aud
the cream might be used for printers
ink.
Seo that your tickets read, over
Southern liy„ tomorrow. Tickets
on sale at East Rome Depot, com
mencing at 2:50 a. m. and closing
