The Statsyk James Alexander—Pre-

yesterday morntuf crowd* of negroes began

ing wa* filled with a crowd, eager to watch the
progress of the trial which had been announced

the crowd at the door began lo press In so that it be
came Dices*ary to station a bailiff at that point, to
prevent too great a number from crowding np to the
liar The lawyers, consisting of Messrs. B. H. and A.
M. Thrasher, N. S. Fear* and G. M. Robinson for the
State, a d General Gartrell. Messrs. Hill A Candler
and Hulsey and Tigner and M.. P. Byington for the
defense, were on hand, and for some time appeared to
he waiting for witnesses.
After some delay his Honor, Justice Johnson, ap
peared upon the bench, and the trial p tneeded by
the introduction of Dr. E J. Roach, mb'* had made a
post jrorum examination of the b^dy of Hamp
Whitehead, colored, whom James Alexander is said
to have killed. After Dr..Roach's examination, Wil
liam Kile, Coroner, Mary Clark, colored, W. Mother-
shed. a convict. King Clark, colored, Cornelius Jen
kins, colored. Mr. I. N. Edens, and Ann McCoy,
colored, were examined on the part of the pcose-
ru ion.
From the evidence of most of them it appears that
II amp White haul was convicted In Fulton con nty
•bout ten day* ago of living in adultery with a white
woman, and was sentenced by Judge Samuel Law
rence to -ix months imprisonment, and to work
the * public w ork-' during that time. Most of them
testified that on Wednesday the convicts were engaged
in the work of bailding the Fulton county jail aa
usnal. and that a brick kiln waa being burnea near the
st.irkadc; that James Alexander was in Immediate
charge of the convicts, and that he had some eight or
nine of them employed iu burning the brick: that de
ceived wo* engaged in feeding the furnace, that ha
complained of the Intense iieat and claimed that he was
utterly unah'e to perform the work longer, aud that
upon hi* refusal to work more. Alexander struck him
and pushed him into the fire, that after th<a. White-
head was taken into the Stockade and tied down on
platform by means of rope* attached to his arms,
legs aud neck, and that in this position he was found
dead the next morning. Coroner Kile and Mr. Edens
testified to the circumstances connected with the in
quest only
After which counsel for the State announced that
they would reserve all further evidence for rebuttal.
During a part of the examination the crowd would
•nifest considerable feeling and some appeared as
if indignant at the alleged treatment of Whitehead
by Alexander, w bile at other times some adroit ques
tion put by General Gartrell, in the cross examine
lion, and the answers of the witness would cause
such a burst of laughter that one would scarce hare
imagined that he was present at a murder trial.
The defence was commenced by the introduction
Mr. B. II. Broomhced. one of the contractors for
building the County jail, who swore that he
a tout fifteen or twenty paces from where Alexander
and Whitehead were on the evening of the difficulty,
a: d that Whitehead had a stick In his hand, and
< .treed Alexander, telling him if he wanted to fight
to come on; that Alexander went up and a scuffle en
sued. in which Whitehead waa thrown; that klaxon
dor Struck him with hi- fist; that deceased attempted
to leave and fell «*v er some window frames, a distance
of right or ten feet on fke ground; that
picfc»d him up by his > Broomhead‘*» order and carried
into the Stockade, where he threatened to break
and that he aitcmpG'd to beat his head, arms, etc.,
on the p'atform; aud that his arms were tied to pre
vent tls hurting him**lf.
The evidence, it will b* seen, ia very conflicting.
The defense claiming that they will show that Alex
ander had nothing to do with the nagroe's death, etc.
At a very late hoar in the evening, pending the
amlnation of witnesses for the defense, the court

Mr. President: I rise for the purpose of
seconding, which 1 do most heartily,The res
olution of thanks to Dr. Janea, for the very
i oat motive and practical address which be
has just delivered, on the culture of clover
and crosses in Greene county. It had
been fully demonstrated by previous experi
ments and practice; that clover and almost
any of the gnoses grow well In all tlie sec-
Uona above Atlanta to the Tennessee and
North Carolina lines; but it was still regard
ed os a matter of doubt whether it coukl be
profitably grown as low down as Greene
county. The experiments of Dr. Janes,
however, settle that question beyond further
cavil, and it is, nodoabt true, that clover and
the other grasses may be profitably grown aa
far down as the red or clay land extends.
The result of the Doctor’s’experiments ia
truly astonishing, os the yield is one of the
largest I have ever heard of. On ray lost
river bottoms in Cherokee, 1 had never made
but liule over three tons to the acre in one
year—weighed when dry and readv for the
market—and this I have regarded a very
line crop. Indeed, it takes our best lands, up
the-country, to produce that quantity.
• THE MODE OF SOWING GRABBER.
I am satisfied our people are neglecting their
beat interests when they neglect to cultivate
largely of grasses, as it takes scarcely uny la
bor to make the grass crop, and it is the most
valuable c rop made on the land where pro
duced. A word as to the inode of sowing an a
cultivating it. I have never, in a single in-
iustance, failed to get a good stand, when I
have sowed in Marco, with oats. I prepare
my laud thoroughly, then sow the oats and
plow them in, and after they are plowed in,
when I w ould be rea ly to have the field, if I
only intended to make an oat crop, I sow
down the clover Heed upon the fresh plowed
land at the rate of a bushel of clear seed to
six acres, anu brush them in with a brunch
the woods pear by, having a heavy
turnip patches. A bushel to six or seven
acres, is more seed than is usually put upon
the land, but I have found it in the end much
the cheapest to put on enough seed to 1* sure
to get a good stand the first of the year.
Some object to covering it with brush, and
say it does just as well to sow it
down on wheat, or even #n land unpre
pared, and leave the seed on top of the
ground. If sowed in the snow, on wheat,
which we seldom have here, or sowed iu a
very rainy time, this will do, but take one
year with* another, and risk the season, aud
it is entirely too uncertain. It i3 said that
the brush covers part of the seed too deep,
and they do not come np, and that we there
by waste seed. This may l»e true, but it
leaves the proper quantity the proper depth
under the ground, and when it comes up,
having some depth of earth, the root is not
so easily killed by the hot sun as it is when
the seed is on the top of the ground. I find
it, therefore, decidedly best to brush it in.
Besides it leaves the ground level and in good
order for mowing. The oat crop is the one
to be looked to for that year, as we do not
expect a crop of clover the first year. And
you should not pasture the land the first
year unless you do so very late, say the latter
part of SeptcmlkT or first of October.
CLOVER.
Of our ordinary season, the clover will, the
year it is sowed, grow a considerable bight
before frost if the land is good, and with it
will be a good coat of crab grass and a con
siderable crop of we<*ds. Just before frost I
put my two-horse mower in and cut all this
down and dry U aud stack it, and it makes a
line crop of hay. The stock will cat all the
young clover aud the crab grass and even
the tops of the rag weeds, when they are
cut green aud dried with*the hay. But not
the least benefit from this course’ is the fine
order in which vour land is left for mowing
iu the spring. If yon do not cut down the
grass anil weed crop iu the fall, you will find
iu the spring, that the large dry weeds are
very much in the wav and it will be neces
sary to employ hanils to gather them and
pile them out of the way be
fore you can reap your crop of clover.
THE SOIL BEST ADAPTED.
In reference to the quality of land best
adapted to its growth, I state that, in my
opinion, it does best upon stiff, black, rich
river bottom, which needs no manure to make
a good crop. If you put it ou upland and
expert a good crop, you must manure your
land well before you sow it, and when it is

The Calhoun Time*.
This valuable cotemporary atnoug our
weekly exchanges, is one of some two ot
three journals only of our Georgia press, that
seemed disposed to lecture Tug Constitu
tion for its course. But it thinks that its
flr?t impressions were perhaps unjust to the
champion Democratic Daily hi Georgia,”
and the “once most popular organ of the
true Democracy,” and is glad to see that it is
now “squarely out” upon the true platform.
We have only to say that our cotemporary
will find TnE Constitution right where it
always was, fearlessly defending the cause
and true interests of the people of Georgia,
and we have no fear but that The Consti
tution and the Calhoun Times will stand
together, shoulder to shoulder in the future as
in the past, striking blow after blow for the
harmony and success of the Democratic party.
Thk Constitution is moving abreast with
the overwhelming majority of the press and
people of Georgia.
Cal. Winder P. John«on , » Letter.
This letter is receiving much favorable
comment from the press. The Augusta Con-
stitntionalist has quite a lengthy editorial
upon it, from which we clip the following
expression of its \ iew>:
As a matter of present policy, we most cor
dially indorse the views of Col. Johnson. It
is a source of real congratulation that Geor
gia will have in her legislative councils a gen
tleman of such clear practical sense. He
sees and appreciates the impolicy at this time
of forcing our ” out and out State rights plat
form” upon our Northern allies, who are
balding at great odds against Radical cor
ruption and usurpation which is entrenched
in power and place, with the national treas
ury in its hands, with the aadoual hanks and
national bondholders in its interest, ajy) the
land grabbers, the powerful and wealthy pro
tectionist corporations and classes leagued
together to uphold it. It is impolitic to say
or do anything that may embarrass those
allies by forcing theta tu defend or adopt or
discuss issues not called for Ly canvass
they are making, not presented by their own
constituencies, and which could not be urged
without weakening and distracting them in
the face of the enemy.
crly, you may keep it perpetually rich,
you have poor lands. v and wish to enrich
them with clover,you must turn over several
successive cro|w in the green slate, giving
them to the land, and, if you have the pa
tience, in this way you can soon improve it
until it produce a good crop for use, aud may
then keep your land rich for the future. But
you need not expect a heavy crop of clover
on poor land, any more than you may expect
a heavy crop of any other sort.
And in this connection I wish to say a few
words as to the value of the clover crop as a
manure. We have heard here a very inter
esting discussion on the subject of commer
cial and domestic, or barn yard manures, du
ring w hich many very valuable suggestions
and interesting statements have l»een made.
My judgment, however, is that the clover is
the best of all fertilizers, it enriches the
land aud continues to keep it rich, if you con
tinue to alternate the clover with other crops
or to run it a considerable portion of time in
clover. The first two acres which I sowed
in the river bottom, in Cherokee county, as
an experiment, was sowed in the middle of
a corn field, that it might lie sure not be pas
tured the first year. With the clover I sowed
some Heard’s grass seed. For three succes
sive yeais I got heavy crops of clover from
the land,the clover decidedly predominating
over the Heard’s grass. On the fourth year,
the crop was pretty equally derided betweer
the two, End the wth year it was about thrdc
fourths Heard's grass. This shows that the
Heard’s grass will stand longer than the
clover. The latter should be plowed up
every third year. The Heard’s grass might be
continued indefinitely, were it not that briars,
broom sedge and other wild growth, will
spring up and compel you to cultivate two
acres above referred to, turned under with a
two-liorsc turning plow, and I aftewards
sowed it, as I did the corn land around it, in
wheat. The following spring, when the
wheat was maturing, you could see the dif
ference to the very row, from a very consid
erable distance. Tltat where the clover had
been was from 12 to 18 inehea higher titan
that around it. The next year it was culti
vated in corn, and the tenant informed
me that he could shut his eyes before
he come near the place, and tell,
by the losseness of the ground, the
moment the plow struck the part that
had been in clover. The com crop was de
cidedly better on the clover land than on the
sume quality of land around it which had
iieeu in wheat the year before. The third
year, which was last summer, the field was
again sowed in wheat, and I could have car
ried you into the edge of the wheat field, and
said “two acres of this has been in clover,”
and asked you to point it out to me without
my indicating the place, and you could have
shown me to the very row where the clover
had been, as the wheat on that part was de
cidedly taller and looked better every way
The effect of the clover, therefore, has been
not only visible but very marked for three
years after the crop had been turned under.
DITCniNO AND DRAINAGE.
Wo have b£ord some very interesting state
ments here on the sultject of hill-side ditch
ing and drainage. Ia my opinion, the very
best hill side ditch that can ue made in this
climate is made of clover and crass and deep
plowing. If you plow your lands deep and
keen your hill sides in clover and grass and
use them mostly as pasturage for your stock,
which will pay you better than any other
crop you can put upon tlmWi J ou will have no
use for hill-side ditches, and the deep plow
ing and the clover and grass wiil. prevent
anv wash.
A SHAME.
when it woj rather dry and ha,rd* tor haf*
when the seed got ripe, and they did not like
it; and, indeed, tbqr had not needed it.
They are now going on two years of age,
and I do not suppose they know what corn
is. A mule colt on a clover farm, I find, coats
me leas than aboil yearling to raise.
ON THE SUBJECT OF Hi
A word now on the subject of theoeed.
Until last vear, I bare been buying my seed
each successive vear from Kentucky, because
I did not wish tb have the trouble of clean
ing the seed. Lfot summer I had the
second crop on tea acres act apart for
seed. I let it stand until the seed
was ripe and bad it mowed, as I would
mow hay, and hauled it up and had it put
under a shelter. In the spring, when I wished
to mow. I had it thrown out with forks upon
the hard ground near the barn, and a couple
of hands took Hails, ouch as our fathers for
merly used in threshing wheat, and a few
licks w;>uld beat off all tne pods from a con
siderable bed of bay. That waa thrown aside
and another portion thrown down, and by
continuing in the same way, I soon had thie
seed threshed off the entire quantity. With
the seed which grew off the ten acres, I sowed
about sixty sens the past spring, and got an
excellent stand. It was sowed In the rough,
seed, chaff, sad all, from seven to ten bushels
lo the acre, on plowed land, sowed in
oats and brushed ia as I stated in the
case of clean seed. The seed off ten
acres, if I had purchased it from Kentucky,
would have cost me about $100. I, there
fore, recommend every farmer, after the first
year, to save his own seed. Buy your seed
and sow the first few acres; then set apart a
portion of the second crop of each year for
seed, and prepare it and sow it, us above
stated, and you will have no difficulty about
it. You need, therefore, after the first year,
spend nothing for seed, nor need you spend
any labor on the clover crop, except the sim
ple labor of cutting and housing it This is
certainly much ljetUsr under the present
labor system than our-old habit of breaking
up our land, planting corn, and cultivating
it all summer, and pulling the fodder, and
then gathering the com, hallingj it
up, shucking it and throwing it into
the crib, and carrying it out in
our arms in baskets otid throwing it to our
stock. Instead of all this labor, sow your
hillside lands, such as you cannot well mow,
turn your stock upon it in the summer, and,
unless in case of drought, they will do well
upon it all summer without any of your
labor. Set apart some of your best land,
bottom, if you have it, to mow, cut and save
the crop there and you liave nothing to do
but to throw the hay to the stock with a lit-
Je corn, and you can carry them through
safely. There is, therefore, no comparison
between the two crops, so far as your stock
is concerned.
If you will sow a lot in clover and grass
near your stables, and will plow your horses
during the summer, giving them a plenty of
clover hay, and allow them to run in the
pasture at night, with one feed of corn each
day, you may keep them in good order and
work them all summer.
PASTURAGE.
This is not confined to cattle and horses. A
clover field is a most excellent place for your
hogs. I set apart a field for that purpose and
have now from 130 to 140 hogs upon it, aud
they have been doing well all summer, with
scarcely any com. When the winter is very
wet, the best plan is to move them off from it
to prevent them from rooting up the land.
They will graze on the green clover all the
while, and it is an excellent food for them.
The cheapest way to make meat in the
country, is to have a good clover pasture for
your hogs, and after you cut your small grain
in the summer, turn them in for a time and
pasture them there. T At ing the two together
you need feed them very little corn until
August or September; then as soon
as your corn ia in roasting ear fence
off a small piece at a time (for which Mr.
Charles Wallace Howard’s portable fence, a
model of which is now before the conven
tion, would be very convenient.) and turn
them upon it, or cut it and throw it to them,
stalk and all They will eat the ear aud
chew the cob, the stalk and the fodder, and
it is all niitricious; you will find it will start
them off to thriving, growing, and fattening
as fast as dry corn, and they get a great deal
more out of a stalk, including the fodder, ear,
., th ui they do out of a dry ear of corn.
In tliis way they may be carried on till core
^inhering time, amt then feed them a short
rime upon dry com, aud they are ready for
butcher.
TURNING UNDER TIIE CLOVER CROP.
Before I conclude, a word more in
reference to turning under the clover
crop. As already stated, you do not pas
ture it the first year, and your first
ps saved the next paging after it is
sowed. That year you may mow it twice,
anti tbc next year twice, ’flic third year you
should cut the first crop aud save it for hay,
id you should turn the second crop under
ith a two-horse turning plow, giving it to
io soil, aud either sow Ft in wheat that fall,
him is probably best, or cultivate it in corn
ie next spring. It . hould not s'and more
than three years without being turned under,
the fourth year’s crop will not be a very
good one, .and the wild growth and broom
sedge will become troublesome by the fourth
I may also remark that the first crop
cut in each year, which, in Cherokee,
Goor^ia, is ready for tfie mower about
hist of .May, is much the best for
The second crop will make your
es .'Jobber, tlioueh the hay is
very good for cattle. The proper time to
iow the crop is when it is iu full bloom and
few of the blooms, lure and there, of the
earliest, are beginning to fade preparatory to
the ripening of the seed. The old theory
is to let it stand until a third or a half cf
the blooms were fading, but this is not best
the stalk becomes rather hard and the hay
not goo<l If cut in full bloom, when only
few of the earliest blossoms are changing
•olor, your hoy will be more nutricions aud

But I have already detained you too long.
Mr. President, my object was not to make a
speech, as l do not care to do that, father
than to offer a tew practical suggestiono—tbe
result of my own »*r.perience. If by any
effort that I can make, or you, or-, this
convention, we can wake up our people to
the great importance of this subject, wo will
not have labored ib vain. I thank you and
the convention for the attentive hearing you
liave given me.

with the superintending of property valued
at not less than $300,000. The farm includes,
with recent purchases, 869 acres. Referring
to this statement of the Central Baptist, the
Brooklyn Eagle says: “ President Grant went

quite freely ever since. His horses, eqnip-
agea, etc., am the theme of admiring descrip

I desire to state a fact here which is really
a shame to the people of Georgia. The re
cords of the Western and Atlantic Railroad
show that there was imported over the road
into the State, during the six months from
the first of January to the first of July, 1871,
in round numbers 33,000 bales of hay. This
was worth about $300,000. If the same
amount should be imported for the last half
rear, it would be, say, 06,000 bales, or $400,-
i 100 worth. Every pound of this should be
grown in Middle and Upper Georgia, and if
oor friends who raise cotton in the sandy
lands should desire any hay we should cer
tainly furnish it to them. I trust our people
will wake up to this subject Not only should
we raise all our own Lav, but we shoo id
raise our own stock. Where we hsve oor
lands set with grass we can do this easily and
cheaply. As an illustration: I keep upon my
farm$>eithera mule nor a horse to aid in doin;;
the work, bat I work mires entirely ; and .
have a jack and raise mole colts. Last fall
in November, I was on my farm in
Gordon county, and my manager, Captain
Finley asked "me how he should treat the
colts. 1 told him to turn them into the bot
tom land, upon a clover field where we had
- It, for the winter, and let them run
there aa long aa it would support them, and
then give them a plenty of hay and some
corn. If necessary, for the balance of the
winter. The fall nad been a favorable one
and the clover was np a very considerable
height and thick over the ground. The
winter was not wet and but one really very
cold spell came—about Christmas. The re
sult was, that there was enough clover for
them to feed upon all the winter. I again
visited the farm the first of March and
went with Captain Finley to see my
colts, and found them in good growing
order, doing well, and he told me he
had not fed 'h*™ an ear of corn during the
whole winter; that they had ran there upon
the clover field and nothing else, except that
