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* ure the inclination of our farmers te Ac this very thing, and the fast that they are acoepting the idea at Increas ing their cotton production on the same acreega^y rotation better Xortlt , 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. Auction SECRETARY HITCH RESIGNED. Give. Up Executive Department Become Bacon’s Private Secretary.

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.
