of the north and east, notably
those at Detroit, Michigan.
Our good friend, Mr. Henry
Heller, Sr., happened to a seri-
ous and most painful accident
recently. He was on his ranch a
few miles below Weimar, and
was in the act of feeding some
shucks to his cattle. As he was
leaning over the feed trough,
one cow. in her anxiety to get to
the Ifeed, suddenly threw her
head around and one of her
horns struck Mr. Heller just the
fraction of an inch below Jiis left
eye, tearing the lid very badly.
The parsonage of the A. M. E.
church, located in the north-east-
ern city limits and occupied by
Rev. J. W. Howard, pastor, and
family, was destroyed 'by fire
Saturday night about 10 o'clock.
Practically all of the contents of
the building were also destroyed.
We understand the preacher and
his family were asleep at the
time the fire was discovered by a
neighbor, and they barely had
time to escape in their night
clothes, practically losing all of
their possessions.
The election in this city last
Tuesday on the proposition of
the town of Weimar issuing $15,-
000 in bonds for the purpose of
extening the water mains and
improving the water-works sys-
tem, was a quiet affair, although
it was evident -that partisans on
both sides were deeply interested
in the proposition. A total of
144 votes were cast, and of this
number 87 voted in favor of fche
bonds, while 57 voted against
same, giving the proposition a
majority of 30 votes. The town
voting as a whole, on the matter,
a majority vote alone was neces-
sary to carry it, hence the propo-
sition will go into effect and be
carried out immediatly.
Preparation of Seed Potatoes
In the preparation of seed beds
for sweet potatoes select a lot not
previously used for this purpose.
Use fresh soil from wood land or
grass land,, but not from old barn
lots or potato fields. The ground
should be sufficiently sloping to
avojd standiug water. Select
manure carefully from feeding [lots
or pens where no potato refuse has
been thrown. Protect beds from
chicken or barnyard animals which
often distribute diseases from their
feet or excreta.
Seed potatoes should be perfectly
sound and healthy smooth and of
good form, and not less than one
inch in diameter. Before planting
disinfect by immersion in a corrosive

sublimate solution (one ounce to
eight gallons of water) five or ten
minutes, depending on temperature,
and rinse immediately in clean wa-
ter. Spread in a dry clean place
or plant immediately. Handle
above solution in wooden or fibre
pails, and keep the dry chemical as
well as the solution away from
children, chickens, pigs, etc., to
avoid accidents. Work should be
done at a distance from the house
and the solution left should be
poured in a hole in the ground and
and the hole filled.
Slips drawn from the bed and
vine cuttings used later should be
dipped in a corosive sublimate
solution, same strength as above.
Shake water from slips and handle
as in ordinary cases, taking care to
avoid contamination from old soil,
dirtjr sacks or boxes.

At digging time select those
plants which have developed the
best shaped and largest number of
potatoes to furnish the leading seed
for the next season. Save the po-
tato roots from these plants with
care, as they represent the best
development of the season upon

Congressman Mansfield Writes
From Washington
The Sheppard Bill for prohi-
bition in the District of Columbia,
which recently passad the Senate
seems to be sleeping and may
not come to a vote in the house
this session. On the question of
submitting the, question to a vote
of the District, the Senate on
two occasions cast a tie vote, by
virtue of which the question was
lost. It was then passed by the
Senate by a substantial majority.
The people of the District ordin-
arily have no vote, and there
being no law regulating elections
nor prescribing the qualifications
of voters, was strongly urged
against the submission of this
-question to them. On the other
hand it was pointed out by
Senator Underwood, that when
Congress was considering the
question of ceding back to the
State of Virginia that portion of
the District which was situated
on the South side of the Potomac,
it was submitted to the people
of the District, who by vote de-
cided in favor of it, and )hat por-
tion of the District was accord-
ingly ceded back to the State
of Virginia. Formerly there was
a saloon on the ground floor of
the. Capitol itself, but it was
abolished by Congress several
years ago.
The next Congress will not only
have a woman enrolled as a mem-
ber, but will also have a real
sure-enough live Prince of the
Royal Blood. Miss Jeanette
Rankin will represent Montana,
and Prince Kuhio Kalanianof^S^ll^
represent Hawaii. The Prince
is a cousin of the late King Kala-
hua and Queen Liliuokalani, and
nephew of Queen Kapiolani. He
married Princess Kahanu Kaau-
wai the daughter of a chief of
Maui. I mention these things
in order that citizens of our
State who may chance to meet
his Royal Highness, may know
how to pronounce his name and
have a brief outline of his royal
lineage. Being a Prince, he is,
of course, a Republican. Miss
Rankin is also a Republican. If
that party succeeds in organiz-
ing the next-House, it can do so
only with help of these two dis-
tinguished members. This would
give to them the power to control
the organization. There was a
time when the United States was
not controlled by either Princes
or petticoats, but that was be-
fore the people learned how to
do things.
The House has had the Rivers
and Harbors Bill under discus-
sion nearly all this week and the
Texas items passed without a
struggle. Now. if the Senate
will do as much, Freeport and
Colorado River will be placed
upon the map. The other Texas
items in the Bill were not classed
as "New" by the Board of En-
gineers. Those projects were
already upon the map. Homer
D. Wade, who was looking after
the Freeport item, is receiving
the congratulations of his many
friends for the efficient manner
in which he conducted the move-
ment for that great enterprise.
