Cornstalks for Forage Purposes. Savannah News. f f A new industry is springing up in Georgia. It is utilization of cornstalks lor iorage purposes, uornstaiks are abundant on every farm and have proven one of the very best foods that can be raised. Dr. Hunnicutt advises every community to get a shredder and shred these stalks. It would be better than a mower. He 8ays: "There is one crop quite abundant upon every farm. We refer to the cornstalk crop After thorough investigation we find no good reason to take back or modify anything that we have said on the sub- ject of shredding or making hay from cornstalks. The hay is aa good as any we can make and cattle do aa well when feed upon it. Every man who has pull ed fodder has made a great mistake. He has lost time and money ana in jured his corn. But it is not too late to use the stalks. ' The hay will be about as good without the fodder. You have bnly lost time and labor. lithe stalks are cut and shredded the stalk and shuck will make good feed. On every farm there are tons of stalks. They have a money value and a food value."

He and his I brother moved aa Oflnrcia inut ftfr thp I close - of the war. He settled in this county on a good farm and his brother located in Rome. I never was at the old gentleman's house but once and I that was in 186b. His brother was a game man and had been a colonel in I the confederate army. When the car- I several years.

Not long after the colonel had settled in Rome the Virginia carpet-baggers got a military order for his arrest and trans portation to v lrginia for trial. A eputy marshal and another fellow came secretly to Rome, but the colonel had already been advised of their com ing ana so one dark night, about 1U o'clock he came to my house and told me his peril and said he could go to his brothers place in this county and hide out until the pursuit had blowed over. So I hitched my horse to our rockaway and we left in haste. I knew the road to; Kingston and " he knew the rest of the way. it was anout o o ciock wnen we reached the place and saw the gin house out in the. field. There we stopped and he took refuge in it and told me to tie my horse out m the bushes and then go down and rouse up MS brother. This is the old man that asked us to come and dine with him. When I knocked at tbe door he came in his night clothes and said, "Who is that "and what do you want?" I whispered my business and told him to talk low, for we didn t want the family or the negroes to know anything. He put on his clothes and went to his brother and 1 got in. my conveyance and made for Rome, Where I arrived about sunrise. The colonel kept hid in the gin house under the cotton for dearly a month .and then dared to re turn for the omcers had departed. I never see this fine old Virginia gentle man but what I think of that ride and the narrow escape. his brother made. 'I Verily reconstruction was .worse than war. ; But it is all over how, thank the good Lord, and we can hold our re unions and carry our battle-torn ban ners and build our monuments and lay the corner stone for Winnie Davis and lynch the brutes that assault our wives and daughters and as Governor Oates said to our defamers in congress, "What are you going to do about it ?" And as for lynching, I repeat what I have said before, "Let the good work go on. .Lynch em I iang em i snoot 'em 1 Burn 'em." Israel Putnam went into a cave with a torch to shoot the wolf that had devoured the lambs of his flock, and just so I would lynch the brutes who outrage our women. He is hot a human. He is a brute, a beast and all these demonstrations by gover nors and judges and sheriffs are hypo critical and perfunctory. In their breasts they rejoice in the lynching. And there is another set of hypocrites who infest our Bouthern land. I mean those who for the sake of filthy lucre and nothing eke invite Roosevelt to visit their city and they promise him an ovation. He comes nearer being a figure-head of a president than any, we have ever had. He is a confirmed slanderer of a great and good man and he knew he slandered him and will not retract or apologize. Our women have Must laid a corner stone for a monu ' or ment to hia lamented daughter and our veterans and members of the legisla ture approved it by their presence, and yet some of the same creatures would invite Roosevelt to Savannah and Ma con and Augusta,. I wouldn't invite any man to my town whom I wouldn t invite to mv house and no man who fought for the lost cause or respects Mr. Davis would ao mat. j.nere is more patriotism to-day among our women than among our men.

Ou last luesday night; we heard two Democratic lawyers of mora than ordinary prominence declare for him. The great obstacle in the way of a Cleveland boom by the anti-Bryan element! is, the "no-third-term" precedent that not even Grant himself was unable to break.

I Deserted br Bride on Wedding Trip. North American, j I Deserted by his' bride of five days, Robert H. Larned, ;of Lansing, has re turned to his home in that city. Mrs. Larned was Miss Fannie Ide.

It was ( announced at the time that the governor was building a handsome residence at Lansing as a bridal gift to the young couple. The mends of Air. Larned were somewhat surprised to Bee him back in Lansing last Thursday, as it had been announced that the bridal tour was to extend over a ! month. When it was learned that Mrs. Larned had not re turned the surprise deepened. Then Larned told his story, and now it is the gossip of the capital.

A heliograph outfit for use by the head brakeman and the engineer is also sug gested, but the telephone is most in favor.

Ukh ards may be summed op at follows: "At last. After many years of seed sowing, often under great discourage ment, the South is beginning to reap the harvesLj To get capital to come South was fur a long time difficult pro position, but it was much more di&cult to iuduce -eoile to locate here. ToUt great mass of Northern and Western peoje the South was an unknown region. So; deep were the prejudices against this section that the people : were more inclined to accept every false! or sensational statement against the South than to believe any good of it. The men who in the early days Mated their way through the forest, crossed the Allfghaniea and opened up" the West and the men who later pressed on from Ohio and Indians and Illinois to Iowa and Aliuneeota and the Dakota i sreru not in one sense greater pioneers than were the men who twenty, fifteen or even ten years ago moved from the West and the North to the South. That the anticipated dangers were never encouinterel by the latter does not alter thej case. They thought they were going into a far and dangerous laud, and exce(t. for those who, driven by an inhospitable climate at home, sought health here the majority of the people a ho formerly; came might, if you use the word in its better sense, be called adventurers. Pioneers they cer tainly were,! and very generally in the same financial condition of the pioneers who made, possible the creation of the mighty est. Some of them succeeded and some failed, but back in the North and West, I whence they came, the failures were promptly widely heralded. while, not, so much was heard about the successes.' But after a while the story of the men who had come South, often with no capital but brains and brawn, was told back at borne, at first with some skepticism, since there was still a disinclination to believe that any good couldllcpme out of the South. ow, thought these reixirts are being everywhere accepted.! Men are saying if John Doe could go south and suc ceed, surelywe can do so. And just about the time when this conviction was speading over the country the great prosperity of the West caused such an enormous advance in the price of farm lands that every Western paper is filled with stories of farmers selling their high-priced land at $50, $75 and $100 an acre and moving South, where they can buy cheap land and thus repeat the success made in the West. At least 100 Western farmers are today going over the country tributary to the South era Railway between Washington and the Saluda river looking for farms. while we have just soli to a Western man for $35,000 cash a noted Virginia farm. Along other j parts of the road the same activity in hunting for good farms is going on. But it "is not alone farmers w Ik) are moving this way in great numbers. Umber-buyers, lum ber-operators, pleasure-seekers having a competence, and who want now to make a permanent home in a section having such a genial climate as much of the South, and many others are mov ing this way. The - immigration and industrial I development I work of the Southern Railway has grown so raoidlv that is is difficult to keep up with the enquiries from prospective settlers." Thinking over Mr. Richards' enthu siastic talk about the great southward movement of population, the writer could not but recall the long and often times weary fight of the pioneers in the endeavor to press upon the world s at- ten'ion the claims of this section, the doubt which even Southern people had of these efforts ever being crowned with success, of the time when the Southern Railway managers determined to take an active part in this work, and called to Cms uphill fight Mr. Richards, western man, whose father, like so many others, had gone from Virginia to make a home in the then almost un known West and whose son - was de stined to play such a prominent part in bringing to Virginia people from all I the West j which be was so closely iden lined. This work of the Southern Rail way Co., has been aggressively pushed for some years, the managers of taia company realizing that immediate re sults could not be secured, but now the whole South is beginning to reap the benefits from the hundreds of thou sands of dollars thus expended. The seed nave been sown sometimes in un promising foil, sometimes in good. but the seed-sowing has never ceas d and often the upromitdng soil has yeilded even a larger harvest than that what was: supposed to be the most fer tile. The Southern Railway Co. through its industrial and immigration bureau, has done a great work i for the South. ! ' I -.- ( ! I ll I II I I Mil Weill Says There Is a lt,0O0,000 Bal I cror. The annual crop estimate of Henry Neill, the ew Orleans cotton expert is larger than any figures that have been issued heretofore, placing the total growth at 11,500,000 to 12-000,000 bales, compared with 10,552,000 bales last earl Mr. Neill says: The trop, which is a very early one, made fine progress up to August, ex cepting jthe Montgomery and Atlanta districts, which suffered from lack of ; rain in j the months of June and July August was dry, comparatively, but September gave ample rainfall. The benefit arising from the favorable weather in September and October and the absence of killing frost has been great." .

An additional appropnUoQ of $500, 000 it asked for the current year to en able the Department to carry out its plans for 'the uninterrupted itension of the service. - ' i On July i; 1901, 4,301 rural routes were in operation, and during the year 4, luo routes were established, the scr vice practically doubling itself in twelve months. On July 1, 1V01, the sum ber of petitions for routes received at the Department since the establishment of the first route in! 1S1H5 reached I 0,243 while during the year 1W2, J,4Ud petitions were hteu, exceeding by over 2,000 the total number filed during the preceding fcjur years. Since uiy 1, lwa, about 2.400 iuuona have been received or about 100 a month a large average for this season of the year. The observations made by tbe De partment of the working of the rural free delivery system in Carroll county Maryland, where a complete and model system is in operation, shows that rural free .delivery causes a healthy and steady increase in the gross receipts of the post offices id the locality 111 which free delivery is general, and is also re ponsible for a portion of the increased revenues of the larger offices accruing from tbe stimulated use pf the mails by merchanU and others who are now able to reach patrons of rural free delivery throughout the country. Supt.Machen recommends that rural earners be authorized 'to pay money 1 orders to patrons as well, as to issue them. In several localiUcs postmasters have at their own risk permitted rural carriers to pay money orders. The in novation has proved most satisfactory and in no case has there been a wrong payment or money by the earner or OSS to the postmaster on account of the pracuce.- v Mr. Machen recommends that fif teen days' annual leave be granted rural earners and that substitute car ners be paid a fixed living ealary in place of the f 1 a year they now receive from the Government Tn Bell Will Hake Dasr to Ike Jfasle. .

Time was when the Bell company con trolled everything and the smaller towns and rural communities were deprived of tbe advantages of 'phone service be cause they could not pay the price.

A good story is being told in connec tion with the election in .Anderson county,- South Carolina. The man agers at the country precincts were greatly distress d when they looked over the ballots that had been furnish ed them and fouud none bearing the name of the Hon. A. C. Latimer, for United States Senator. The managers began telephoning to the Commis sioners of Elections at the court house asking what was the matter. "It's all a trick," said one excited manager I over the phone. "It s a trick of them dura McLaurinites to cheat - Latimer oat of his sesL" , It took a good deal of time and talk to persuade the gentle man that united Mate senators are not elected by the people d.rect, but by the General Assembly,.' and that Mr. Latimer was just as safe as if hi name appeared on every ballot that went into the box."' i: 1 W Taald Wat.
