Several poles of the trolr lino which runs from this place Summit Hill were chopped I I wn today and the wires were I I t. This was Probably done to bvent troops from being taken >m Manila park, where tbey are camped, to Landsford and Sumt Hill. Major; Gcarhart outwitted the A ikers by taking two companies /-A soldiers to Summit Hill before ay expected him. In Lansford, immit Hill and Coaldile de jhments of soldiers who wore fit out to preserve order and to otect the non-union men were eeted by large crowds of strik9, who hooted and called them mes. At Coaldale the soldiers were i -w- -wmpelled to get off the trains j 1 | d force the mobs back from the! I g icke. In Lansford a crowd of mien joined in hooting the m lardsmen. Major Gearbardt ? mitted that the situation was "" rious. He would not say wheth he, would request reioforceants. Leg Cut Off While He Slept. Brunswick, Ga., Aug. 26 ? ed em son Wallace, a negro, was nod asleep near the Brunswick d Birmingham n.ilroad track at early hour this morning with t t e of bis legs entirely severed A )iu bis body. Just how the accident occurred 6 ct not known, as there were no tnesses, and the man was una- Q 3 himself to say, but it is genilly thought that he was intoxited and went asleep on a lutn- II0\^ r pile only a few feet from the ick, stretching his leg across s track, and that a Brunswick d Birmingham passenger train ~i d n over it. None of the train A V 3 w saw the negro when the dn passed and did not know the U cident had occurred until he is found. .. fori When the man was found he is fast asleep, with the log cut ' as if with an axe, and the ac- OA" lent evidently did not awaken m from his slunher. He was cole ken to his home and the wound ts dressed. He received no tier injury about the body. It Was a Whiskey Murder.

Weekly Report of tho Agricu tural Depurtaient in W ashington. Washington, August 2t>.?Tin agricultural department's weekly summary of crops conditions says As a whole, tho weather con iitions east of the Rocky Moun tains have not been favorable, be ing too cool in tho northern dis tricts eastward of the Missour Valley, with too much moistun in portions of the Central valley s while excessively hot in the Southam States, with drought ol greater or less severity generally throughout tho cotton belt. Corn is greatly in need o warm, dry weather throughout the northern portion of the con belt, whore the abnormally root weather of the past two week} bas groatly retarded the maturity. l)vcr the southern portion of the :orn belt an excellent crop of ear iy corn is now piratically assured A decided deterioration in the condition of cotton is reported generally throughout the centra md western portions oftbccottoi belt as well as over a largo pari )f the eastern districts. The inos favorable reports are from tin uarolinas. In North Carolina tin jondition of the crop continue! rcry promising, although th< prevalence of rust is widespread On still' soils in South Carolini new growth is blooming and fruit og, but on sandy soils rust, shed iing and premature opening being general. In Texas the deter ioration has boen pronouncei and under most favorable coudi tious a yield in execs of the aver ige is improbable. The week hnu vonr ? v/. j *?**?'* ible fur cutting to bacco and th? irop has generally unproved, ul hough it will be short iu Ken ,ucky and portions of Tennessee Virginia and Maryland. Weather And Crops in the State Mr. J. W. Bauer in his weekly report says: The temperature was abnormally high during the first, und decided ly cool during the second half o Lhe week ending Monday, Augus 25, with an average of 7S degrees a maximum of 101 degrees at An dcrson on the 20th, BlaCkvilh and Longshore on the 21st, and i minimum of 59 degrees al Clio raw and Spartanburg on the ISth Damaging hail occured in Anderson, Greenville and Newborn counties, accompanied by des tructivc high winds, but the in jury to crops was confined t<rlim ited areas. There was more thai a normal amount of sunshine dur ing the first of th'? week, followei successively by much cloudi.-.os and then clear weather. Quite general rains fell on th 17th, too late to bo reported fo last week's bulletin, und scattei ?,i ..i ? qvi duuwcih occasionally on th 20th, 21st, 22d and 23d, the lat tor nearly general over the great er portion of the State. Soni points continue to stand inneed o rain, hut generally tho ground ha sufficient moisture for the. preson need of crops. In places the rai intorferrod with current farm work, but on the whole it wu beneficial to growing crops. Lute corn continues to nmk good progress, and with lunite< exceptions promises fair^iehb Bottom laud corn is very tine. Cotton failed to share fully n j the general improvement* f growj ing crops, due largely to the j J spread of rust that stopped further growth, and caused shedding j and premature opening, although j on clayey s lis there is a now growth that continues to bloom and fruit. l'he outlook for a large top crop is not promising, except on low spots where there has been plenty of moisture hroughout the season. On sandy uplands the plants have put on all the fruit they >vi11 do, and are now dying. Cotton is opening rapidly over the whole State. Some correspondents report nearly half the bolls open. Picking is ^ actively under way in all sections, but showers and extreme bent interferred at tin.es with this work. In places open cotton was damaged by the heavy rains and high winds. The crop ranges from poor to very good; and this diversity in condition exists in all portions ' of the State, and even in the same township*. The season as a whole is earlier than the average. Peas, sweet potatoes and corn improved. Rice is ripening and harvest has begun in a suiall way. Thoughts for Partners. Does subsoiling pay the farmer? 3 Tko question would be answered 4 "yes" and "no" according to the soil, the time of year and tne quality of top soil. Red clay top soil with red clay hard pan will ba little benefited by subsoiling, for the clay will run together when the first big rain comes, A closo sandy soil, poor in humus, will be little benefited by subsoiling. But any land, with four to six inches of top soil, with a considerable amount of stubble or humus in it, will be greatly benefited by subsoiling. If about two inches of the hard pan are broken and mixed with ' the top soil it is soon assimilated, the soil is doepened and the phos phoric acid and potash stored in the hard pan brought into soluble 1 condition. Tho only object in subsoilinp is to deepen tho soil and ' render the underlying stratum of * clay porous, so that tho surplus f water will bo stored up for dry t weather. Subsoiling to advantage > goes along with a rotation of crops, - the sowing of peas clover or other o leguminous crops. The best time * of year to subsoil land is October * to April. Both the clay and top * soil should be dry enough to * crumble oasily. It should never Y be wet enough to be sticky. There - are two-horse subsoil plows that - do good work. One man and - two mules will subsoil an acre .a u day. Another good plan is to use - a one horse turn plow or a half 1 shovel, if tho top soil is shallow ?|anclfellow with a tongue plow in s&mo furrow. That requires two e hands, but it does good work. If r the stubble is rank then a two ' horse turn plow could bo used c which should bo followed with a > tongue plow. Subsoiling is the - process used by nature in reatoro ing wu?-n out soils. That is just f what the roots of old field pines, s peas and clover does. ?t?.>^ ''^'lifcliH^'M^^^iiiH ? Genuine stamped C. C. C.
