The Georgia State Detnooratio Convention, whioh mot in Atlanta last week, "instructed" the delegates to tho National Convention to vote for Judge Parkor, of New York, as tho Presidential nominee. The con vention was the storm iest held by tho party since tho Civil war. Defi nite instructions for^the delegation oame as a surprise, nineo the commit tee on platform and resolutions had reported unanimously a resolution in which Parker was highly commended and the convention requested that tho vote of the State lie cast for him. This resolution was agreed to in the interest of harmony. On the floor of tho convention, however, the advocates of positive instructions ran rough shod over the committee. Washington Dessau moved in place of "request" the word "instructed" be inserted. The motion was car ried by a vote 166 to 157. Amid scenes of the greatest entbuo'asm the resolution passed unanimously. Not a voice was raised for Hearst. The feature of the platform is silence on tho Chicago and Kansas City platform.

They liave selected two of their number to look for a proper place for a settle ment and to obtain some sort of con session from tho authorities of Li beria.

President Tinsley, who heads the issooiation, says ho believes more than 20,000 negro people aro ready Lo leave the cotton belt and mako their home in Liberia if transporta tion facilities can be obtained for them. The Liborian government jffers each immigrant 26 acres of land free of charge, besides furnish ing rations until the farms are going.

The Farmer's Little Joke. When thc farmer espied a little boy industriously collecting apples from tho topmost branches of his host tree, he stole back to the farm houso and took down a stuffed image of Pongo, his greatly mourned sheep dog, from the cupbonrd and in a fow minutes tho stuffed dog had been placed at the foot of the tree. The farmer thon proceeded with tho business of thc farm, and tho men wonderod why every now and then he chuckled to himself. An hour went by and tho farmer was once moro at tho foot of tho tree. "Hullo, there !" ho cried. "What aro yo doing up my tree, oh?" The boy was pale and qnivoring with fright, but he had not altogether lost his presence of mind. "P-plenso, sir," he shivered, "that great big dog clown there," pointing to the well preserved Pongo, "he chased me, ne did, all ovor your meadow, an' I had to climb thia tree to get out of his way." Germ? M Fertilizer?. Tho germ theory has been ez I tended to the Department of Agri culture, where it is fast being de veloped into a praotioal working faot. To-day scientific farmers are using "bacterial devils" for the fertilization of dead soil, and this wonderful microbio plant tonio is being sold to them by U??le Sam. The Depart ment of Agriculture bas, for several months, boen sending in the mails in small packages this singular bacterial dried on cotton and accompanied by ?nutrient salts, in which form the farmer uses it to inoculate either the Boil or the seed to be sown in it. The process was discovered by Dr. Moore, of the Department of Agri culture, who bas just secured a patent for it, whioh he has "dedi cated to the people of the United Staten." The infinitesimal germs thus sent out from Washington pro duce the necessary bacterial culturen for inoculating soils for the success ful cultivation of clovers of all kinds, alfalfa, soy beans, oow peas, and all other members of the legume family. The process is described as similar to inoculation iu animal flesh. The fanner who receives the little paok uge soaks it, much like a yeast oake, io a barrel of clean water. The powerful <? erma revive and soon turn tho water to a milky white. Seeds soakod in the resultant fluid, having been thoroughly inoculated with the germs, are given an extraordinary start. As an illustration of the wonder ful effect of the process, it is stated that land on which the farmer oould, with tho most assiduous toil and ordinary fertilizers, produce alfalfa but a few inches high and a poor stand, will yield, under this treat ment of the 'need, alfalfa several feet high and extremely thick and rich. This is indeed revolutionary of old methods of agriculture and should prove a godsend to farmers whose lands are worn out and slow and ex pensive to "bring up" by the ordi nary methods. The general use of the process in tho South would make this one of the great stock raising regions of the country, for tho legu minous plants are peculiarly adapted to our soil and olimate, but, owing to the impoverished condition of the land, it is seldom that they make hoavy forage crops. Perhaps, too, bacteria will yet be discovered which will do the same thing for cotton seed and the cereals. $100 REWARD $100.

Tho ornithologists of the Depart ment of Agriculture have been mak ing an investigation of tho economio value of tho Hob White, as a result of which it is now announced that that bird is "probably the most use ful abundant species on the farms." Field observations, experiments and examinations show that it con sumes large quantities of weed seeds and destroys many of the worst in sect pests with which farmers con tend, and it does not injure grain, fruit, or any other crop. It is fig ured that from September 1 to Aprik 30, annually, in Virginia alone, the total consumption of weed seed by Bob Whites amounts to 673 ton?. Some of thc pests which it habitu ally destroys, tho roport says, are the Mexican boll weevil, whioh damages the cotton crop upwards of $15,000, 000 a year ; tho potato beetle, whioh cuts off ii 10,000,000 from tho value of the potato crop ; the cotton worms, which have been knowu to cause $30,000,000 loss in a year ; the chinch bug, and the Rocky Mountain locust scourges, which leave desolation in their path and have caused losses to the extent of $100,000,000 in some years.

A dispatch from Raleigh, N. C., says : T. M. Pearsall, private secre tary to Governor Aycock, who has just returned from the northwestern part of the State, where he was sent to inspect the Wilkesboro-.Tefferson Turnpike, one of the finest highways in tho United States, tolls a very re markable story of an occurrence dur ing bis trip. "Mr. Robertson, editor of the Wilkesboro Hustler, owned a half grown setter dog, which he was training to retrieve. The dog was very fond of bringing objects from the water. His owner was on the bank at a deep pool when some men came up, ana one of them throw a dynamite cartridge into the pool in order to kill the Ash. As the cartridge was thrown the dog dashed after it and, to the horror of the editor, came out with the cartridge in his mouth, tho fuso being toler ably long. The men fled and so did tho owner of the dog, the dog fol lowing tho latter. Frightened al most to death, the editor rushed to ward a deep ditch, fortunately quite wide, and leaped across this, continu ing to run for fully half a mile. At the moment the dog reached the bink of the ditch the oartridge ex ploded, literally tearing hin to pieces. Mr. Pearsall says there is much talk about this occurrence, wbioh is declared to have been the strangest that ever happened in that scotion of the State. Only the ditch saved the lifo of tho editor, he says." DOUBLE WEDDING TO BE CELEBRATED In the Cunt of th? Igorrotes-Dog Intestine Binda Matrimonial Contract. St. Louis, June 2.-Fatted dogs have been gathered for the feast and a double wedding is soon to be cele brated in the camp of the head-hunt ing Igorrotes at the World's Fair. Dog dinners are most essential to the Igorrote marriage oeremony, for it is a seotipn of the oanine intestine, stuffed with tender bits of the meat, highly spiced aud flavored, that binds the matrimonial contraot. Fantastic dances, which are also a part of the oeremony, are daily re hearsed in the quartet and the reser vation has taken on a holiday mein in anticipation of the approaohing event. Consent has been given by the natives for the public to witness the weddings, and when all is ready it will be one of a day's events at the exposition. Governor Hunt's -first intimation that love-making was being indulged in by his wards was when Domingo and Booosso, two of the young war riors, lay aside their spears and shields and suddenly began building each a house after the fashiou of his elan. Domingo is a Bontoo and his peo ple prefer the low-roofed struoture with dirt floor ; Bocosso is a Suyoo ; it is the custom of his kind to rear their homes upon high foundations with floors some distance from the ground. In such ways the young mei* set at their taks ana when it was observed what they were about all the village gossipped over the inoident. Friends gathered around while Domingo and >ooosso worked and helped them to shape the timbers and select the nipa grass with whioh the houses wore ' constructed. While thc men labored the women brought water and food and sang | songs for their entertainment. Now thc homos have been completed and are ready for the inspection of the brides. Tugmena is the demure maiden whose dreamy eyes soothed the snv age breast of the much tattooed Bo- ? COSMO. She is 16 years old and, like her lord, is a full-blooded Suyoo. : Bocosso is distinguished from other 1 Igorrotes beoause of the unusual sizo ? of the ear ornaments which he wears, i ThcBo are large pieces of wood inlaid i with mirrors and inserted in ghastly : slits through the ears. I Laguima, a 17-year-old belle of the Bontoo tribe, is to be the bride of the war-like Domingo, whose J tattoo marks indicate that he has brought his share of human heads to the camp of his ohief. This, young lady is very much attached to her pipe and during rehearsals of mar riage ceremony she keeps it con- , stantly in her mouth. Antonio, the great chief of the | Igorrotes, has already approved tho ; matches whioh Cupid has made -? among his dark-skinned and little , olothed subjects, and the official per- , mission of Governor Hunt, the repre- , tentative of the United States gov ernment, under whose charge the natives were brought to St. Louis, j has been given. On the day of the weddings a groat | feast of dog and rice will be prepared , for all the tribes and they will gather j on *he plaza opposite the Governor's j bungalow. After the guests have ? deaned their plates the strange dish , of dog entrails will be served to the , two couples. When this has been J eaten, patriarch, Byungasiu, will , chant a blessing upon the unions, j No promises will bo exacted, no ad- j vice given. With but a single swal- | low two hearts will bo made as one. , 'Tis to dance and eat dog that the , Igorrote lives, and it is difficult to , tell which pastime he likes the better. , When the tom-toms begin their din ? the women, with heads aloof and ; body list less, waltz to the oenter. and ( the head-hunting warriors, waving , their spears and shields and chanting festival airs, form a constantly mov ing oirole about them. igorrote women are sufficiently modest to don a blanket when thoy appear in public, but the male limits his dress to a breeoh clout. As tho dance proceeds tho almost naked forms ot the men writhe and wriggle in rhythm to the strange music, and not until they are completely er hausted will they forbear thc plea sure. When one drops out there is another to take his placo, and so thc merry-making continuus. Contrasted with the brown skins of the men, the bright garments of the women and their dignified -de meanor, make thc dance all thc moro interesting. The woman dancer goes through none of the contortions performed by the men, and she is not so quickly fatigued. She turns slowly as upon a pivot, tho knees bending slightly and the head grace fully swaying in harmony with the music. When the season of festivities is over the brides will be taken to their new homes, where friends have fixed them out for housekeeping in real Igorrote style. Then tho men change their name,- but they do not take the names of their wives as would bc the oase if the American custom were reversed. It all depends upon what happens during the early honeymoon as to what titlfs Domingo and Bocosso will bear in their after life, for their new names are selected from some inoident surrounding their wedding. If it should rain and thunder one of the other might, after the true cus tom, be christened "Bad Weather," or its equivalent in the lingo of thc dog-oaters. Disease takes no summer vacation.

Foronoe tho government has issued a bulletin that is interesting reading and upon the most, tiresome of sub jeots-the weather. It is issued by the Department of Agriculture and its author is Edward B. Garriott, professor of meteorology. It is made interesting by quotations from Pliny, the Bible, Indian legends and folk lore. The bulletin says that tho weather of the world is governed by different conditions, but in this country, gene rally speaking, a steady south to east wind will bring rain within 26 hours. To tell whether it is a rain oloud tho professor quotes from Luke 12 : 54 : "When yo see a oloud rise out of tho woBt, straightway ye see there cometh a showerj and so it is." Birds Hy high when the barometer is high, and low when the barometer is low, hence the frequently misquoted predictions : "Everything is lovely and tho goose honks high." Before rain tobacco becomes most, salt in creases its weight, cordage tightens, flies sting, doors and windows be come hard to shut, rod hair curls, lamp wicks crackle, candles burn dim and soot falls down. Cats aro weathor prophets. When a oat washes herself good weather cap. bo 'expected, and bad weather when shu lioks her cuat against the grain or washes herself over tho ears or sits with her tail to tho fire. "If the cock goes crowing to bed, he'll certainly rise with a watery head," is another quotation. When tish bite readily and swim near tho sur face rain may bo expected with cer tainty. Tho beo is never caught in a shower, and tho professor quotes : "When bees to distance wing their flight Days aro warra and skies are bright; But when their flight onds near al home Stormy weather ie sure to come." Plants, says this expert, are sub ject to weather conditions and aro Bafe prophets. The odor of flowers is strongest before a shower. Cot tonwood and aspen trees turn up their leaves before rain and those of tho sugar raaplo turn down. A Zuni proverb is : "When the sun sets un happily then will tho morning be angry with wind, storm and sand." j If the sun before sotting appears dif fuse and of a brilliant white it fore tells a storm, but if it sets in a sky slightly purple, the atmosphere near the zenith being of a bright blue, wo may rely on fair weather.

"The greatest scare I ever got was ance in my boyhood days, when I j was put astride a horse aud told to hurry to town, three miles away, and buy a quart bottle of whiskey, which was to save the lifo of my brother, who had been bitten by a rattle inake," said J. K. Kennedy, of In diana, according to the Washington Post. "I never lot the horse get out of a bard gallop all the way to town, where I secured the precious stuff that was to save the life of my play mate. I Was in an agony of fear lest I might be too late, and on the return trip, when about half way borne, in my impatience to make my ?teed go still faster, I struck him with tho bottle, forgetting its fragile somposition. When the bottle hit the horse's hip bono and burst, spill ing its contents to tho ground, if aver despair seized hold of a boy, it bad mo in its grip. I almost felt, like committing suicide. Hut recovering my nerve, I turned tho head of the m i mal, and revisiting the town, got a second bottle, which 1 took to tho bouse in safety. This was poured into my poor brother is fast as he ?ould swallow it, but o;ving to the :lelay the poison had a great start, uni the whiskey had no eflect on bim whatover. Then my father, mounting a fresh horse, went away an the same errand. By this time be was awfully swollen and it did not look as though ho could survive. Tho treatment was continued on my father's return, and the contents of bottle No. 2 finally did its work, and the lad's lifo was saved, after it seemed an almost hopeless chance t,hat the poison could he counter acted."

Terrell, a convict, who to-day is a prisoner be hind bars, sentenoed to serve a term of fifteen years, will to-morrow gaze upon the blue sky, a free man. J. J. Reed, of Savannah, Ga., 'is tho man. Ho was sentenced at the July term, 1900, of Chatham County Superior Court to a term of nfteen years for killing JameB Stewart, a negro. The jury found him guilty of voluntary manslaughter. Gover nor Terrell signed his pardon this morning. Efforts have been on foot to secure the pardon of Reed, lt is urged that he killed the negro while in the heat of passion ; that he bore a fine reputation ; that he is a good man ; that his conduct since incarceration has been exemplary. But Governor Terrell reasoned that tho prisoner had been given a fair and impartial trial by twelve of his countrymen ; that he was con victed for taking the lifo of a fellow man ; that a recommendation had already been made to punish him for manslaughter. And the pardon was not issued. ' Then came the letter from little Katie Reed. Soaut attention was paid by the secretary to the scratchy, i'hildish writing on the envelope. No thought that it bore the freedom of a man was entertained. Interesting to Asthma Sufferers.

A recent dispatch from Wilming ton, Del., says : "The whip was brought out of its resting place and soven prisoners were flogged at the post to-day. The punishment was done at the work house. The prin ouors were of various ages. The IIOWIB that went up from the work boase could bo heard for half a mile. While the seven men were being flogged an equal number stood, pil lored, listening to their cries, and in physical misery as the hot sun began to shoot down its hot rays. Tho spectacle of the seven men, punished in this way, as in no other State in the Union, did not attract a crowd, for Wilmington is accustomed to those sights and tho novelty has worn awiy. --?.?--1 A Great Ruler.
