There wa9 considerable discussion ver the proposition by Attorney Jeneral Bellinger not to assess the andidates anything so far as the ounty commissioners are concerned. Ft* held that the assessments bv both bis comrnitte and the county comliesioners was tatamount to ruling a oor man out of the race. The ounties put on other assessments, nd there were contest expenses, ewspaper advertisements, etc. He )ld something of the way the thing ; orked in his own experience. He arned the committee that this was lading to debarring any man who 'a9 not a wealthy man from ever? j ice for congress. He was opposed ) levying any unnecessary assesslenta. Mr. Tatum agreed somewhat with fr. Bellinger and Mr. Martin thought re commissioners should make the jsessment. j i Mr. Appelt thought that several runties would need money. j i Mr T. Y.

Mr W. D. EvaDs waDted to allow e county chairmen to draw on the j ate chairman for an amount not * :eeeding $50. Mr. Tatum wished the limit in the 5 lunties fixed at $10 each for the j ( mdidates. Mr. Dial moved to table the Bel | iger motion. ^ Senator Tillman then slowly rose j id said: "We live in a commercial j ;e?we've heard something of that | and of Democracy recently."

On account of a slanderous and j cowardly attack made up his cbarac Ler as a soldier and gentleman in Maclays' History cf the Navy, Admiral Schley hss demanded a court of inquiry, which has been granted by Secretary LoDg and Admiral ^ Dewey, and Rear Admirals Kimberly ; and Benham have been named as the Board Tbe ground* upon which Schley is j criticised are: First. Because of his temporary withdrawal before Santiago on ac- j count of the lack of coal. Second. Because of his reconnois- I sance of the defenses and Spanish j ships in Santiago harbor. Third. Because of the Brooklyn's j famous "loop''movement in the battle ; of Santiago. Schley explains the charges made as foilowt: First. His temporary withdrawal from Santiago was because of a letter from Admiral Sampson, dated I May 20, 1898. in wtiich an said: "If tbe Spanish ships have pu' into Snntiago they tuust come ; either Havana or C;eo'uego?.

"? --? ? -1? ? QvCiaea noi 10 risK. u bwhjuo uiao^r > ment until re-inforcements arrived. Third. The "loop" of the Brook- j lvn was I he crucial and deciding feature of the combat and of decided advantage. Because of the course the Spanish fleet, had the Brooklyn headed eastwared to meet it, she i would have blanketed the fire of the * i c.. ftD J )ber I3tf eastern vessels of the fleet on ct anting their courses to westward and between them and the Spanish fleet. CEVERA ON THE "LOOP" "The Maria Teresa attacked and opened fire upon the enemy's battle ship of a type of the Indiana and Iowa, lauching herself particularly against the Brooklyn, which was the most dangerous obstacle in our path ? CAPTAIN CONCA'S EXPLANATION. "I was commander of the I'-finta Maria Teresa. Ia accordance with previous instructions the Teresa was headed toward the Brooklyn, hoping to ram her. This was frustrated by the Brooklyn's frequently discussed "loop," which brought the Texas and Iowa between her and the Teresa." ? LIGHTNING S WORK.

If one could get a good stand of potatoes between the 15th to the 30th of August, there would be do doubt as to an abundant- yield, provided there were showers in September. Now and then one may eecure a ntand but planting the potatoes as i fhey are takeD from the ground will J seldom givo good results. The best m way is to take up your potatoes when mature. Place them in a cool, d&rk^H olace snd ppred thin and let them^^? dry about two weeke. If you wish to plant one bushel, select two bushels of the potatoes and bed them out in a good place. Cover with a layer of leaves or straw aod then put two ? or three inches of dirt on them. When they have been in the bed about twenty days take off the dirt and straw and pick oat the potatoes ?hat show signs of sprouting.
