'Mir rras? OIIINWSP, AFTER FOREIGNERS. Incited to DcHtrucMon of Foreign Lift* mid Property. Pekin, June 3.-The cousins ut Nanking report that native dlstrub ers in that city haye, assumed openly an insulting attitude toward foreign ers and have dollied the walls of tho American consulate in a disgusting manner. The feeling in several of the prov inces of China ls still giving the au thorities much concern. United States Minister Calhoun, at Pekin, In a cablegram to the State Depart nicij?faraiisiults a message from the UnrWrStates consul at Nanking, In which he says that the city has been posted with placards inciting the people to the destruction of foreign life and property. The minister adds that the United States steamship New Orleans is there and ls prepar ed, with the Cern?an, British and Japanese warships, tb land a consid erable force If necessary. Placards Posted in Streets. Placards have been posted in the streets calling upon the people lo rise and slaughter the foreigners and destroy their property. Threats that a revolution will be launched on June 5, the date set for the opening of the Nanking exposi tion, are causing Chinese merchants lo flee with their treasures to the country districts, where they are burying their wealth. fee?t authorities at Nanking have "?**wed the bolts from the rifles of the soldiers. The situation is con sidered to depend entirely upon '.he attitude of the military, which up to the proesnt had not inanit?s ed symptoms of disloyalty. lt is believed that the cruise'- New Orleans and the Cern?an and Japa nese men-of-war lying off tho town will he adequate to protect all for eigners in the event of an outbreak. War-ships Prepared for Action. Commander Hoger Wells, of the New Orleans, has conferred with the commanders of the other warships and they have agreed upon a plan j for concerted action if necessary. All the diplomats at Peking think that an outbreak in the province south ol' the Yang-tse-Kiang river ls likely to occur. They believe, how ec?r, that it is exeremely improba ble th.ty the trouble will reach this city. J. I). OARHIKON ACQI'ITTIOD. Jury's Verdict Leaves Murder of ,1. W. Toney a Mystery. Macon, Ca., June 3.-When the jury In the ease against J. 1). Garri son, charged with the murder of J. W. Toney, brought In a verdict of "not guilty" this afternoon at 6 o'clock scenes seldom witnessed were enacted in the Bibb Superior Court. The moment the verdict was read Mrs. Garrison reached for her hus band, embraced him before he had risen from his seat, and the throngs of people were stopped till the court could be adjourned for the day. When Judge Felton thanked the twelve men, then the congratulations began. The jurors tiled in and shook [.? Iff accused man's hands. The crowds came and held Harrison for an hour. Some of the elated friends shook hands with Judge Pelton and thanked him for what they termed an impartial presidency al Hie trial. The jury was out thirty-live min utes, livery man was for acquittal. Judge John Hoss . was as roundly shaken hy the hand as was Garrison. Both he and Solicitor General Grace were at their best in the case, and a harder legal battle has seldom been witnessed herc?. ?\jtoJhe trial closes, this goes down asiJ^Bther murder mystery.

One Place Without Dope. (Oglethorpe, Ga., Echo.) At Smithson ia last week The lOcho man inquired if there was a place where a coca cola could be purchas ed. "No dope here," said the young man in charge of the store of Col. Smith. "We don't have time to use it." lt was really refreshing and Invigorating to find one place where this popular soft drink was not sold. Very nearly every cross-roads store handles coca cola, but Oglethorpe has one town where they don't have lime to drink it. Knocks, But Doesn't Open. (Dalton. Ga.. Argus.) Did you ever notice who the fel lows are that kick about how much lt takes to pay tho preacher; how .some one ls always calling on him > tyr this and that; how he is taxed to death; how many people call on him for charity, etc.? We say. did yon ever notice him? Nine times out of ten he gives less than any one else, and oftentimes doesn't give anything. Ile just wants to knock, but. that kind of knocking doesn't count for any more than he does. E I CO1 TT Ol rf* THU PEST FOR ~_L I?!3?

"Two years ago the railroads bael reached a point where lt seemed that replacement and rehabilitation work must proceed, or something would break. The public was not ready for an advance in rates, however, and by I retrenchment from present rigorous order the roads have managed to worry along, standing almost still while the carrying demand of the country continued to Increase," said Mr. Thompson. "Every ailroad of which 1 have cognizance ls now trying to lind a way to e.dst In the face of the pres ent opposition.

Da., June 2.-Ono of the biggest suits ever brought In the Stat?? was Hied lu Floyd Superior Court through Rome attorneys by George O. Lancaster, ut Chattanoo ga, against the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railway for $375,000. Tho suit is a mortgage foreclosure and the ptoperty Involved ls the entlro right of way, tracks, depots and other property now owned and ope rated by the Southern Railway front the Alabama line to Dalton, Ga., a distance of 7') miles. The mortgage Is also said to cover the line of road now operated In Al abama from Selma to Home, a dist ance of 300 miles and similar suits will probably be Hied In the Ala bama courts. The petition of Lancas ter alleges the mortgage was given in 1870 to secure a bond Issue of. $0,000,000. Lancaster sets forth that ho owns GO bonds of $1,000 each, which matured in the year 1900, and which, with Interest of $31 1,000, make up the total of the amount claimed for which the mort gage foreclosure ls sought. The petition says the original mortgage deed was given Jamos P. Wallace, who ls now dead, and asks that the mortgage be made first Hen and the property sold. The Selma, Rome and Dalton rail road was commenced before the war, completed in 1870, was absorved by the Fast Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, and later by the Southern. The suit will be resisted by the Southern and will be a great legal bat Ge. Service bas been made by publication, as the Selma, Rome and Dalton has passed out of existence and the first bearing will be at July term of Floyd Superior Court. Rape for Dog Pasture. lt bas been demonstrated by the experiment stations that an acre of good, rich land sown to rape will produce as much pork, when used as bog pasture, as the same acre plant ed to corn and cultivated. Now the rape can be grown a great deal cheaper than the corn. The plowing will be the same, the preparation of the seed bed the same. The cost of the seed will not be greatly differ ent in an ordinary year, as the rape will cost about 25 cents an acre, while the seed for an acre of corn nt the prices this year will cost from 2f> io 50 cents. The rape will require no cultivation after it is sown and covered; corn will. The hogs will harvest the rape themselves; the fanners must harvest the corn. Some may say: Then why not grow rape instead of corn, For the simple reason that you must use the rape as pasture, and the amount of pasture you can use for bogs is lim ited. Two or three acres ls about all that the ordinary farmer needs. lt is needless to say that this rape should be sown on good land, land that will yield BO bushels of corn to the acre; and that it should be sown Where hogs cnn bo turned Into it conveniently. ll can bo sown any time; the sooner the better; but must not be used for a bog pasture until it is about eight or ten Inches high. There is no (hinger of bogs bloat ing; for bogs are not built lo bloat. lt l'an be used for sheep; but there Is some danger of sheep bloating, lt can be used as a callie pasture. For example, if there Is more than your hogs can use, you can turn in your cows for an hour or two after milk ing In the evening, provided it ls not wei. When damp lt will bloat cows, and If cows oat lt shortly be fore milking, the milk ls liable lo be tainted. Therefore ll ls desirable mainly for bog pasture or for sheep, where the farmer knows bow to use lt. For this last purpose, however, lt ls better to sow It with spring grain after it is two or three Inches high, and then use lt ns a pasture after harvest. In your planning, do not forget to imiulre whether you could use two or three acres of rape to advantage. Thc Grocers Know. (('loveland Leader.) Mrs. Nu bryde: "Give me a can of condensed milk-" Grocer: "Yes, ma'am." Mrs. Nubryde: "A bag of fresh salt-be sure and have it perfectly fro*'." Grocer: "What else?" Mrs. N.? "Four pounds of para lyzed sugar and a pound of desecrat ed codfish." Grocer: "Y-y-yes! Fine day, Isn't It? Anything more?" Mrs. N.: "Do you keep catnip?" Grocer: "We're all out of that, be cause nobody keeps cats in this neighborhood. Rut we have somo fine horseradish." Mrs. N.: "Wo can't use that, either-isn't it funny? We don't keep horses!"
