WILL THE NATALIE COME BACKS’
Her Captain Said He Would Return
to Savannah.
It is safe to say there is no one in Sa
vannah who knows just exactly where
Capt. Saline, of the yacht Natalie, was
going or to whom he took his cargo of
arms, but the evidence that he was going
to the scene of some revolution is increas
ing.
He came to Taggart’s wharf two
or three times for coal, and took
on about twelve or thirteen tons in
all. Some of it had to be loaded
on the deck in bags. This was sufficient
for nearly a three weeks’ voyage,"and the
yacht was well provisioned when she left
here.
Capt. Saline told Mr. Taggart
that he would be back before
long to get some more coal, and
while this may not be taken as conclusive,
it is understood he left some money here
in bank, besides his iadebtednes to Mr.
John Ko’irke. His machinery was given
a thorough overhauling at Mr. Rourke’s
foundry, the captain desiring to have
some changes made so as to increase the
vessel’s speed. She had four
cylinders all attached to the
shaft, and these were separated, two com
pound engines being made of them. The
engine was originally single acting, and
with it the yacht made but little over
nine miles an hour. By means of
the changes her speed was in
creased to fourteen miles an hour,
which was shown by three trial trips,
and the captain was much pleased
with the change, which he seemed to
consider a most desirable one. Mr.
Rourke had not completed the work on
the yacht when the shipment of arms ar
rived, and the Natalie suddenly cleared
out, owing him SIOO. He says the
captain left some money in bank
here, and he believes the bill will be
paid whether the Natalie returns or not.
In the meantime there is much curiosi
ty as to the destination of her cargo,
which is still believed to be the scene of
the Brazilian revolution.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. JANUARY 22. 1804.
AGRICCLTtRAL DEPARTMEST.
Continued from Fifth Page.
gardens year after year, and yet never
have such an one, simply because they
neglect the first matter of importance,
which is totmake a good soil. A garden
soil is something like a poet, only the con
verse of the axiom is true, and it is made
and not born. There are, of course, ex
ceptions to this rule, but it does not often
hapyen that one finds just the best soil in
just the spot where he wishes to have the
garden. Some are discouraged by this
fact, so do not try to have a garden at all.
Others put up with what they find ready
to their hand, and spend much labor con
tinually in the effort to produce good
crops from poor soil, when, if they would
expend a portion of their labor in build
ing up the soil, they would accomplish
much better results in the end, with a
great deal less trouble than they now
have.
The first thing to he considered in lo
cating the garden is to have it in a con
venient place. If it is put off in some dis
tant corner, where it is never seen except
by special effort, there will be too much
of a tendency to let it shift for itself—
and such'treatment is not conducive to
good crops. Having located it. next ex
amine into the quality of the soil. If this
proves to he a good rich loam, you are
very fortunate, for you have the best ba
sis upon which to build. If it is a heavy
clay, you must give first attention to im
proving the mechanical texture, so as to
make it friable and “workable.” This
can be done by hauling on coal ashes or
cinders from factories and plowing it in.
By this means we have made stiff clay as
friable as an ash heap. But if you would
find a light and sandy soil, then bring to
it all the refuse vegetable matter that
you can—leaves, straw, coarse manure,
etc., and plow it under and let it decay
beneath the surface.
Whatever soil you have, and whatever
the initial treatment, you must not lose
sight of the fact that it is very far from
the ideal soil for a garden, because it does
not contain, naturally' sufficient available
plant food to enable you to grow the very
best crops, and such crops alone as you
can find the fullest satisfaction and profit
in producing. To bring it to this stage,
you must manure, and manure, and ma
nure. Remember that you have not a
whole farm to enrich, ‘but only a little
g*rden plot of a few square rods; so you
can afford to apply manure in such quan
tities as might well frighten you if under
taken on a large area. Of course you are
going to apply it beyond the needs of the
crops whioli you expect to grow this year,
but your purpose should be to impregnate
the soil so thoroughly owith plant food,
that whatever seed you place there will
find at once the elements needed
for its perfect growth. A load of
manure on the garden is not
enough. A half dozen loads are not, un
less the garden is very small indeed.
The entire surface should be covered to a
depth of at least six inches, and this not
with coarse, green 'manure, but with a
fine and well-rotted product. Put it un
der the surface this fall if you can. If
not, put it on the top, and let it mellow
and melt through the winter. Then in
the spring put on more, and continue the
operation every spring and fall as long as
you have a garden there. When you
plant in such a thoroughly enriched soil,
there is no hesitancy about the germina
tion of the seed. The plant springs
quickly into vigorous life and makes the
rapid growth which is the warrant of a
bountiful maturity.
We have too many starved gardens.
My neighbor has one, in which he toils
industriously every year; but I have
never seen a load of manure or fertilizer
of any sort put upon it, and the result is
what you might expect. I am not pre
pared to say that such treatment as I
have here indicated would pay for the
whole farm, but the garden is conducted
on a different principle from that of the
meadows and grain fields. If the garden
will pay at all, it will pay to treat the
soil after this fashion. Most gardens do
not pay. They produce a few peas and
beans in the early summer, later on some
cabbages, and then the potatoes (not very
many nor very large) about complete the
tale. But the garden should have in it
every vegetable that will grow in your
climate, from radish and lettuce up to
pumpkins and watermelons. It should
not be given up and left for the weeds to
overrun in August, but celery and late
cabbages and turnips should keep its
memory green to the very verge of win
ter. If the soil has been put into such
condition that all these things can be
made to grow easily and well, it will be
quite natural to have a succession of
crops; but if strenuous effort is required
in order to produce anything, the garden
will have little attention after it has
given the first few messes of green veg
etables in the early summer.
It would be a good idea to make up
your mind about the garden now, so that
you could be building the soil, as occasion
offered, all through the winter; after you
have begun it, do not stint your work,but
bear in mind that it is just as necessary
to have a good foundation on which to
build your garden as for your house or
your barn, I was once accused of ex
travagance in this matter by an old
farmer, who waded ankle deep in the
manure which covered my garden plat in
the late autumn; but next summer he
paid me for vegetables enough to balance
the total value of the manure which he
thought I had wasted. It is quite possi
ble that in growing farm crops there is a
limit to the profitable application of
manure, and it may be that there also
is such a limit in the garden, but I have
never found it, nor do I think many others
have. The danger is wholly on the other
side.
FARMERS’ SCRAP BOOK.
Gleanings From Here and There.
Live stock raising improves the soil and
increases the production of good crops of
grain and grass, and these crops are much
more profitably marketed through the
very medium which has helped you to
produce them than if sold direct in their
own original form. Besides this, the
profit in feeding stays at home, instead
of going into some other man’s pocket.
The real enemy of the horse is not cold,
but dampness; and against that he is to
be defended at all points. If a horse be
gins to cough, let him be put in the sun
niest. driest part of the stable, and he
will recover the sooner even though his
new situation be much cooler than the
old one. Dogs in damp kennels always
have rheumatism, and horses have even
less affinity than dogs for dampness.
A writer gives the follow ing as a wash
for fruit trees to prevent insects from
laying eggs under the bark: To 100 pounds
of caustic potash add one gallon of crude
carbolic acid, two pounds of whito ar
senic or London purple, which is perhaps
better and certainly cheaper, one barrel
of lime, and water enough to make 300
gallons of the wash. This will be suffi
cient for 3000 trees; smaller quantities
may be made in like proportion. Apply
the wash with a stiff brush early sum
mer.
When incubators are used there is
often great difficulty to secure a large
number of eggs, and operators are dis
posed to accept any kind that they can
get, the result being that some eggs
hatch well while others fail. Then the
incubators are condemned as at fault,
when really the cause is due to the eggs.
When we consider that no two eggs are
alike, and the eggs in an incubator may
come from as many as a hundred hens, it
is plain that the matter of collecting and
selecting eggs is one of the most import
ant connected with hatching chickens
for market.
A cow giving a big mess of milk has an
enormous appetite, and it is an important
point to feed her so that she will keep
this big appetite. To do this we must
keep a close watch and see that she is not
over-fed. If a cow that is in full milk is
poor and shows her ribs plainly, don’t
try to get her fat; we are not feeding for
fat in the cow, but for fat in the milk. A
good cow will put most of the feed in the
milk, and may look as though she did not
get enough to eat, but that is all right so
long as she keeps in good health.
Before discouraged farmers g've up ap
ple growing as a lost art they should try
by plentiful supplies of potash manures to
restore the soil to something like the con
dition it had after the original forests
were cleared off. If this were done gen
erally the preparation would be made for
growing fruit successfully. Of course
when fungus diseases, such as mildews,
blight and rot, have made progress they
can be destroyed by Bordeaux mixture.
But these diseases have their cause lying
back of them, and it is the part of wisdom
first to remove that, so that when the
evil is removed it may not at once reap
pear.
PERSONALS AND POSTOFFICES.
The Administration Has Made Three
Popular Appointments.
Washington, Jan. 21.—The confirmation
of Hon. William H. Brawley. as United
States district Judge of the district of
South Carolina, gives great satisfaction
to his friends here. Maj. Brawley is
very popular among his associates. He is
a modest, unassuming gentleman, very
quite in his manners and methods, but of
very decided ability and very positive
character.
He has made his impress on legislation
as well as on the hearts of his friends,
during his service in congress. His legal
ability fully justifies his appointment to
the United States bench, and his natural
force of character will admirably supple
ment his acquirements. The President
has never made a more fitting or a more
popular appointment. Such is the ver
dict of those who have been associated
with Major Brawley, and who know him
best.
TWO OTHER GOOD ONES.
Two other very popular appointments
that have been recently made are the
two collectors of customs in Georgia -
Thomas W. Lamb, at Brunswick, and
J. F. B. Beckwith, at Savannah.
One thing that will give the appoint
ment of Tom Lamb additional popularity,
is the fact that it is understood that lie
will appoint Dick Grubb collector at
Darien. Dick has a host of friends
throughout Georgia, who will be glad
when he is restored to the position which
he resigned rather than hold it under
a colored republican.
THE OFFICE SEEKS THE MAN.
The old adage, “the office should seek
the man,” is one frequently heard, but
seldom put in practice. It was recently
exemplified, howover, in the appointment
of Mr. James T. Newton, of Athens, Ga.,
to the position of chief clerk of the patent
office. This appointment came to Mr.
Newton without aiiy application,
by himself or his friends. He
had been in the patent office since early
in 1891. At the beginning of the present
administration he was promoted to law
clerk. The promotion to chief clerk was
made because of his unusual devotion to
the duties of his position, and of his ex
ceptionally intelligent appreciation of
them. It was purely a “reward of merit.”
ON SICK LEAVE.
Sterling Roberts, formerly of the
Sparta Ishmaelite, but now chief of the
mails division of the pension bureau, was
compelled to return to Georgia about
three weeks ago for the benefit of his
health. The news comes that he is im
proving rapidly, and will soon be at his
desk again.
POSTOFFICE POINTS.
Judge Crisp has recommended the ap
pointment of Miss Eula Hodges to the
position of postmaster aUßeynolds, Ga.,
to succeed her father, lately deceased.
Her father was postmaster there thirty
five years, and nearly every citizen of the
town and surrounding country signed her
petition for appointment.
The name of House Creek, in Wilcox
county, has been changed to Bowen's
Mill, and Mr. Samuel B. Reid has been
reappointed postmaster.
Anew postofflee has been established
in Crawford county, named Pine Level,
with J. H. Joyner as postmaster.
J. A. Pafford has been appointed post
master at O widen, Coffee county, vice J.
B. Pafford, resigned.

QUAY OPPOSES BONDS.
Ha Tries to Make Their Issue a Basis
for Poli ical Capital.
Beaver, Pa., Jan. 21.—Senator Quay, in
an interview to be published to-morrow,
makes a strong attack on 'Secretary Car
lisle's proposed bond issue. He says; “I
believe any bonds that may be issued with
out absolute authority of law should be
repudiated. There should be no
curative legislation. Takers of a loan
offered on the first of February should
know that the securities go out under a
cloud and that their redemption will be
an important political issue in the future.
To recruit the revenues and re-establish
the gold reserve (which is an idea not
provided for by law) it is only necessary
that the administration whistle off its
dogs and announce to the
country that the tariff is
to be let alone. The administration has
produced a condition of affairs which has
destroyed trade, foreign and domestic,
and gravely diminished the internal reve
nue and all customs. Having by its own
action produced this financial status, the
administration announces an existing
deficiency of $78,000,000, urges
the passages of revenue measures
which will enlarge the defi
ciency $70,000,000 at least and goes
to the country for a 5 per cent, loan, the
first of a series to relieve It of financial
treason. The Republican party is not
called upon by any theory or policy or
duty to come to its relief. If a burly
highwayman, while rifling your pockets
with one hand got the other in a
steel trap it would be Christianity to
relieve him, but you would try
to get the other hand out of your
pocket first. This administration has
but to loosen its death grin on the throat
of American capital and labor and con
fidence will be restored. The gold re
serve will re-establish itself, and the
revenue'will be all sufficient for our
needs. Until it does so it should be
scourged at every legislative whipping
post by every republican vote in con
gress.”
A Candidate for Walthall'a Seat.
Jackson, Miss., Jan. 21.—Hon. H. E.
Thompson, of Brookhaven, appears to-day
as a senatorial candidate to succeed Sena
tor Walthall. He is one of the codifiers of
the Mississippi code and an able lawyer,
with a clean democratic record. His
friends are quietly feeling the pulse of
members of the legislature in his in
terest. There lias been a great deal of
quiet caucusing to-day by candidates and
their friends. The siturtion apparently
stands as heretofore reported.
BANKER CLEWS’ VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.
New Y’ork, Jan. 20.—Wall street has re
mained comparatively lifeless through the
past week. During the first half, the ab
sence of any action by the government for
overcoming its financial embarrassments
had a depressing effect both here and on
American securities at London. The an
nouncement on Thursday of a loan for
$50,000,000, by the Secretary sf the
Treasury, had some effect in strengthen
ing confidence; but the form and method
of the loan were to some extent disap
pointing.
The offering of a 5 per cent, ten years’
bond, at a price limit which would keep
the return to the investor within 8 per
cent., was regarded as a somewhat un
usual operation. The facts leading to that
course seem to have been that the govern
ment has no existing legal authority for
issuing any other available form of obli
gation : whilst, with tho existing divi
sions of opinion in congress on questions
of finance and currency, the administra
tion deemed it wholly uncertain as to
what sort of authorization it might get
from that body, or whether it could get
any authorization whatever, or whether
congress would reach a conclusion
within the period required by
the extreme exigencies that no tv embar
rass the treasury. Under these circum
stances, the administration appears to
have felt itself driven to use an old au
thorization granted under other circum
stances, but which may perhaps be fairly
construed as legalizing the secretary’s
proposals. Not a few are doubtful
whether the amount of the loan the gross
product of which will be about $60,000,000
—will suffice to cover the full deficiency
tho treasury will have to meet; but it is
to be presumed that, in such event, any
further required issue could be made.
Regret is expressed in banking circles
that the obligation to be issued is not of a
kind specifically adapted for the use of
banks; as. had it been the best, tho sec
retary would have been enabled to make
a direct exchange of its issues for the
gold of the banks, which is the one thing
the treasury needs, and with which the
banks could iwell afford to part. This
view is a sound one; and yet it would
seem that, under the present and pros
pective excessively low rates for money,
the banks would find it to their interest
to invest temporarily a liberal portion of
their immense idle funds in a bond yield
ing 3 per cent., and which, with the re
covery of confidence, might yield some
ultimate profit on the principal.
Should the banks not he liberal
subscribers for the bonds, it will proba
bly be for other reasons than because It
would not pay them to subscribe. The
method of issuing the loan is not likely to
prove to be a popular one; though that is
probably the very thing Mr. Carlisle in
tended it to be. It is a narrow method of
conducting so large an operation by a
great government; and what Mr. Carlisle
may save in the way of a fractional com
mission he will far more than lose through
the lower prices likely to beofferod in the
absence of theordinarymethodsof “send
ing off” such a transaction; to say noth
ing of the loss of eclat that would attend
the much larger offers that would be
bro tight out through the customary modes
of negotiation.
With these drawbacks, the bond issue
is to be welcomed as fraught with great
advantages to financial interests. It set
tles the misgivings about the possibility
of the treasury embarrassments running
into a grave disturbance of public confi
dence. It shows to the world that the
United States treasury has behind it a
ready resource of credit which will en
able it to procure whatever amount of
gold may be needful for the protection of
its obligations and the maintenance of the
gold basis, it demonstrates that, in addi
tion to the 35,000,000 or 40,000,000 of gold
that we are now producing annually, we
have an ability to borrow gold
which no other country can boast
of. Taken in connection with the repeal
of the Sherman act, these assurances
amount to a peculiarly strong reinforce
ment of confidence. For the stoppage of
silver purchases means that the silver
heretofore diverted to domestic currency
uses will hereafter go into our exports,
with the effect of correspondingly di
minishing the occasion for exporting gold.
With an increase of the homo production
of gold, on the one hand, and of a dimi
nution of its export, on the other, it is
clear that the United States is destined
to increase its future stock of this metal,
whatever may be the experience of other
countries.
There are those who entertain some ap
prehension that the marketing of this
$60,000,000 of new securities may interfere
with the sale of other investments now
seeking buyers. To some extent this may
be the case. But it is to be remembered
that the $50,000,000 of floating capital
which is thus to And a ten years’ resting
place will in turn largely find its way into
other hands to seek some other form of
employment; audit is also to be kept in
mind that $50,000,000 is a small matter for
this great country, or when compared
with the enormous amount of idlo funds
now awaiting employment, which the
present unprecedented amount of bank
deposits is but a very partial expression.

making very gratifying progress. In the
leading branches of trade, there are as
many buyers here as is usual at this sea
son of the year. Traders are losing their
late excessive caution, for the reason that
the exhaustion of their stocks compels
them to buy: and for the further reason
that, as they see no cause for expect
ing lower prices, there is no motive
for continuing their late policy of post
ponement. These sign* of returning
activity are encouraging manufacturers
to resume work, and to-day probably 60
per cent, of the factories that were idle
three weeks ago are running on full time.
These are facts that must soon produce
their effects in the Wall street markets.
TURPENTINE IN OLD DAYS,
Great Britain Once Taxed the Product
of the Carolinas.
Crude Tools in Use Just After the
War-How Cotton Batting Came to
Be Adopted as a Percolator—Labor
Better in 1871 Than at Present.
Lyons, Ga., Jan. 16.—The naval stores
industry, concerning which an interest
ing article appeared in the Morning News
of last Sunday, is not anew industry, by
any means, in either North or South Caro
lina. It is a historical fact, recorded 1
think, by Gilmore Simms in his history
of South Carolina, that as early as 1750
the British government required the two
Carolina's to pay a tax on their produc
tions of turpentine and tar. To corroborate
the fact that the industry is not new I
can say from actual experience that fi o n
the year 1866 to 1880 I cut boxes every
winter in Charleston (now Berkeley) and
Colleton counties in South Carolina,
and it was a very common thing, in both
of these counties, to find old "fat light
wood” stumps in which could be traced
very easily the old boxes of a century be
fore.
But to lay these bygone days aside and
come to a more recent date, or, as wo
might say, the revival of the industry in
South Carolina; Sometime during the
decade of 1840 Col. Sam Palmer operated
ou what would now be considered a
very small scale on his plare
on Santee river; it was then
considered a big business. About
the same time Col. B. Pressley Smith
worked turpentine along the Santee
canal, while a few others worked along
the line of the South Carolina railroad,
which had not been very long completed.
As already stated, the writer himself en
gaged in the business in 1866 and has con
cluded that it might be interesting to
those in the business to be told some
thing of the working of turpentine in the
old days.
1 saw the first cast iron hack-weight,
the kind that is used to-day, In 1860.
Previous to that time we made our hack
weights by cutting off four of five pounds
of an old cart tire, heating it and bend
ing it around as compactly as possible,
leaving a hole in the middle for the
handle. Often a black-gum with a large
swell at the bottom was cut and dressed
off, leaving the swell at the bottom, which
was hollowed out and filled with lead.
Our hacks of those days were what is
known now as tho “whole round.” The
dip barrels were made on the farm, of
pine staves and wooden hoops.
The greatest improvements, however,
have been made in distilling and strain
ing tho rosin . Until about 1877 the grades
of rosin were not lettered, as they are now,
but wero known as Nos. 3,2. 1, extra J,
extra 2, pale, extra pale, low pale and
window glass. It was seldom that any
window glass was made. Up to about
1869 those of the operators who at
tempted to make any of tho finer grades
of rosin strained it through blankets,
using from one to two pair a day. But
this proving very expensive, coarse yel
low homespun was adopted in its place,
and was used until 1871, when the cotton
batting of to-day was tried and found to
be a success.
About that time (1871) the writer was
running a still for a firm at Ridgevlile, S.
C. It was suggested by someone that,
cotton would be a good thing to strain
through. The idea was accepted, a bale of
cotton and a pair of cards were bought, an
old negro woman hired, a little shanty was
built to card bats in. These cotton bats
were laid carefully in the bottom of the
strainer and the rosin run through them,
which proved to be the very thing needed;
but it was expensive. After
using the cotton bats for
several months, one day a gentleman by
the name of J. W. Moore came to the still.
He was in some way interested in the cot
ton factory at Granitoville, S. C. He saw
the still hands laying the bats in the
strainer, and said to me; “Why, sir, I
have the very thing that you need,”
and described to me that at a certain
stage in preparing the cotton to be spun
it was in the very condition that we
needed it. He sent us a sample for trial;
it came all right; the old woman
was discharged and the cards
were thrown away; henoe the cotton bat
ting of to-day.
About this time an old Frenchman by
the name of invented and
patented a plan by which he used tin
buckets for boxes. These had wings ex
tending up the tree under the hacking,
by which the turpentine was conveyed
into the bucket. After about six
“streaks” were put on, the bucket
and wings were moved further up
the tree. By this means he made virgin
turpentine all the time. He oper
ated very extensively around Mornicks’
Corner and Mount Holly,then in Charles
ton county.
In those days negroes used to chip 12,000
to 15,000 boxes, and dip from four to six
barrels of turpentine a day. Now it is
hard to get many of them that will chip
10,000 regularly, or dip more than throe
barrels of turpentine. Wages are better
and the necessities of life cheaper than
they were then.

MURDER AT COLUMBUS.
A Negro Suspects His Wife of Infidel*
ity and Kills Her.
Columbus, Ga.. Jan. 31.—The usual
quiet of the Sabbath -day was broken
early this morning by a murder on Front
street. Dick Litner (colored) cut his
wife’s tflroat, and stabbed her in ths
breast and abdomen. She survived only
a few minutes. Litner (ltd. but was
captured shortly afterwards, five miles
from town by Policeman Osborne and is
now in jail. He was seen by the Morn
ing News correspondent this afternoon.
He says his wife had been unfaithful, and
last night she slept away from home. Ho
found her at her mother's, this morning,
in a room alone with John Greer,
a negro. He says his wife
waited about ten minutes before
opening tho door, and when he entered
Greer was in bed. This enraged him, and
he drew out his knife and used it on his
wife with fatal results.
The police locked Greer up as a witness.
He says the woman came, this morning to
her mother's after something to eat. He
was sick in bed, and the woman's mother
had just left the room when the enraged
husband arrived. No inquest was held,
as there was no eyewitness to the killing.
