THE COTTON CROP IS *>NF. OF
THE LARGEST ON RECORD.
The Process in Growing Cane Is Di#»
cussed—The Farmer Must Diversify
H s Crops—HA Will The*i Be the
Happiest and Most Independent
Man of the Entire Human Family.
^Ganta, Ga., Jan 25.
During the last spring and summer
the condition and prospects of the cot-
ton crop were far from being encour
aging; but the bright, sunny days of
a late fall came to the rescue and
Georgia in common with the whole
South, re joice# in one among the larg
est cotton crops on record.
Many reports of surprising yields on
ordinary land hare come into this of*
floe, and there is gratifying evidence
of Improved cultivation. More farm,
era than aver before In the history of
our State are using the beat methods
and improved machinery.
ftfever since the war hes the finan*
clal condition of our farmers been la
such good shape. More of them than
at any previous period are in Buch a
state of independence that they can
sell or hold their ootton, os their inter*
ess may demand.
In some sections cotton picking was
delayed by the scarcity of labor. But
a new hopo has arison that at no distant
day this difficulty will be surmounted.
The new cotton picker, though far
from perfeot, gives assurance that ere
very long, whon it shall have passed
Its crude beginning and grown Into a
first-ciaas machine, the labor problem
of the cotton planter will be solved.
Of one thing the Southern planter
oan be sure. In his ootton, If wisely
managed, he possesses a reliable and
safe money crop. But, as wo have
repeatedly urged, let nothing tempt
him to make it his sole reliance.
His wbeet, corn, vegetables and hay
end abundance of ©very kind of stock
feed should be raised at home, so as
to make him the Independent, man
that every farmer ought to bo. Lot
him, by diversity of crops, careful fer.
tillsation and diligent cultivation of
the soil seek the favor of Nature, whe
will not fall to amply reward his weflb
dtreotod' efforts. > We note with jleas*

Leon Mancli Shot by Ivy Summerlin
In Coffe- County.
Douglas, Ga., Jan. 24.—A sensation
al homicide occurred near Antioch
church, In Coffee county, last Satur
day night. Ivey Summerlin had an
18-yearol<f daughter, reared by her
grandmother. Young Leon Manell had
been visiting the girl for about three
year#, nihilist the wishes of her fath
er, whp lad warned him to stay away
or maiTjIhrr. Saturday afternoon Mr.
Summergn left Douglas with a young
er danghte. to v-jlt the elder one
Upon his arrival there he found young
Mandl, and ordered him away and to
cease his tention to the girl. Angry
words followed, and young Mancil
drove off. The girl Joined him, it is
said, and went to a Mr. Taft’s. Tho
Tafts were not at home, and the
young fouple, It Is alleged, prepared
r«(Cai in the woods near the
church.
Mr. Summerlin, with his brother,
began a search for them. When they
were found Summerlin shot M&ncil,
killing him instantly. The girl re
fused^ go home, and remained alone
In the woods with the remains of her
dead lover, taking charge of the body.
Summerlin Is yet at large. His
brother, Builock Summerlin, is In
Douglas jail, charged with being an
accessory to the killing. Both Sum
merlin and his victim, Mancil, were
well-to-do farmers and of highly re
spectable families.

Atlanta, Jan. 25.—Hon. 0. M. Hitch,

retary of tho executive department

Om account of long oontinued dry because the place offered him by
weather, cow pees will be scarce and Senator Bacon pays more money than
high next season. Be sure, therefore, | the one he now holds,
to save enough to put upon your land
at tho proper time. No up-to-date
farmer will long run a field In cotton
without applying to it this great ren
ovator and panacea for the ills that af
flict the soli.
We fear that on aceount of the dry
fall many farmers have failed to sow
wheat. If so, those woh can possibly
do It, should sow it now eo as to get It
up by Christmas. Those living In sec
tions where It Is too late to do this
and even those who can sow the wheat
and yet have land enough would do
well at the first good season In Feb
ruary to put In oats on good ground
well manured and prepared. They will
then have a good prospect of a fine
•upply of a spring oat crop.
To those who have not yet turned
their fields we would say, do bo this
month. Lot this be done thoroughly
snd well, and as deep as possible, eo
that freezes and winter rains may add
fertility to our fields.
