more money than the last cotton
crop of the county, and ic can be
saved at one fourth the expense of
making that crop. Get a good drier
and dry your peaches.

treated the subject in a manner as
edifying to children as it was to peo¬
ple of a larger growth. “It is good

tended, was certainly ous of pie most
interesting meetings jet held, In
the absence of the regular elected
President, Judge \V C Wisdom was
called to the chair.
Maj. Flynn Hargett was called up-,
on and gave his plans and methods
of cotton planting. He advocates i
thorough preparation before planting,
and quick, shallow cultivation after
wards. He found that fertilizers gave
better results it put in the ground
only a few days before planting the
cotton. He thought acid phosphate
and cotton seed meal gave better re
turns than any other fertilizer he had .
used. He thought more than two I
hundred pounds of standard comvner
cia! manures per acre unprofitable,
He had experimented thoroughly on
a piece of land that had averaged a
bale per acre for thirty acres. He
use ^ on acre plots 100, 200 and 400
lbs of Pacific guano respectively, and
found that the difference in the re¬
suit did not compensate the increased
cost.
Capt. Stanford is experimenting
with a brag cotton patch of several
acres. He elaborated his plans of
preparation and planting. He has
applied two hundred pounds of Home
Mixture per acre and will apply two
hundred pounds more when the
plants are beginning to branch out.
This iu the drill. Later he will
apply two hundred pounds more
per acre broad-cast. His idea is to
give the plant food as it is needed.
If he gets a bale per acre this season
he will be content, though his ambi
tijii for the future is three bales per
a< re.
Of carp ponds he had something to
say. Mud holes were not suitable
for rearing these fish. His plan
would be to dig a wide, deep ditch
above the dam, to build it. At right
angles to this he would dig ditches,
so that the pond would be deep for
protection to the old fish and shallow
for propogation of ihe young ones.
Cs.pt. C. L. Dendy said he would
give at the next meeting a report of
the State Convention at Savannah, at
winch the society was represented by
himself and Judge J F C Williams.
For to day he would content himself
with giving a method of saving pea
vine hay, that had been give n him
by a farmer of large experience, who
had practiced the plan for several
years with unvarying success. It
had impressed him so favorbly that
he was determined to give it a trial,
The peas having been sown on oat
stubble are picked over once or
twice. The vines are then cut and
allowed to lie for an hour or two in
the sunshine. They are hauled to a
pen, the bottom of which has been
covered to the depth of a foot with
oat straw. The pen is filled with al¬
ternate layers,each about a foot thick,
of pea vines and oat straw. Horses,
cows and other stock will leave fod¬
der or other hay any time for this
mixture of oat straw and pea vines.
It is worth trying.
Encampment of Veterans.
Last Tuesday week Capt. L. L.
Stanford made a motion, during the
session of the county Agricultural so¬
ciety, for the appointing of a commit¬
tee of five soldiers of the late war to
advise as to a time, place and man -
ner of holding a reunion of Harris
county Confederate soldiers, to re¬
port to a public meeting of these ve¬
terans at Hamilton on the first Tues¬
day in J une. The motion prevailed
and Judge Wisdom, chairman of
the meeting, appointed the following
gentlemen upon the committee :
Capt. L. L. Stanford,
Col. W. H. McCuliohs,
Capt. T. J. Neal,
Capt. R. D. Little,
Capt. H. E. Moss.

he got up very early and left tire house
His mother and sister who live with
him and keep house tor him,supposed
he had gone over to Mr. Will Stan
ford’s, upon whose farm he is a ten
ant, to see about getting to work his
crop, as he had not been well enough
to work for several days. Ashe did
get back in time for breakfast his
sister went over to Mr. Stanford’s for
him. She learned he had not been
there and returned home. Mr. Stan
ford followed her after awhile and
found the family quite uneasy.
few minutes later, however, the young
man approached from towards the
barn, presenting a ghastly spectacle,
his throat being terribly cut.
Dr. Riley was summoned and
dressed the wourds. He found two
severe gashes on the throat, one pass¬
ing only a little below the apple and
cutting into the wind-pipe. The cuts
could hardly have been made else
where on the neck without proving
almost instantly fatal. As it is there
is a chance for his recovery,
He was rational when he reached
th e house, but could give no account
of th e cutting. He thinks he must
have done it, but saj r s he had no m
tention of killing himself. His razor
is missing and cannot be found.
No We Didn’t.
The Columbus Enquirer says we
made a speech at the Perry House
last Wednesday night, but we didn’t.
When our logical and eloquent Den
dy; our silver tongued Cameron; our
sanguine Wolfson were silent in their
grief,this deponent could not have the
face to speak. Our rabbit was sick,
very sick. We had nothing to say—
like the boy the calf ran over.
