Scotch Metnod o' \A 9eolt
Mr. Crozier j ractlceu with greet sue
ce„ the Scotch method oi preserving
root crops in winter, which he thus
describes: A dry spot being selected,
where no water will stand in winter, a
space is marked out six feet in width,
and of any length required ; this bed is
excavated ten to twelve inches deep, and
the soil is thrown out on the bank. The
roots, either mangels, turnips, carrots, or
potatoes, are built up evenly to a sharp
I stint about five or six feet in height, so
that the roots form almost an equal sided
UiaDgle, six feet on the sides. This bed
of roots is then thatched over with four
inches of straw, after which the earth is
banked over the whole, about one foot in
thickness. This covering of earth and
straw is sufficient t* ktepout any degree
of frost that we have in this latitude
though we rarely have it much below
zero, in colder or warmer sections. Judg
ment must Ist used to incrca-e or lessen
the covering. Vents, or chimney -, made
by a three inch drain pipe, or anythingof
similar si/e, are placed every six or eight
feet along the top of the nit, r*Um: on
the rx*ls, so that the moisture generated
may escape, in extreme cold weather,
thesevvela,n la, or chimneys, should lie closed
up, as the cold might le severeenough to
get down to the roots. Fits, so con
structed, rarely fail to preserve roots
j-erfectly, until late in spring, and are in
every renjiect preferable to root cellars,
for no matter bow cold the weather may
la-, they are easily got at; the end once
o|>ened, the soil forms a fror n arch over
the pit. Mr. Croaier says he has
practiced this plan for years on his farm .

Bermuda C-a*
A Texan correspondent of the Southern
Farmer says
II I had a cotton field taken prisoner
by the Bermuda gram while I wan trying
to privent it, I would valuo it more
highly thau any cotton fieid in Texan. A
hundred acres of cotton <ioe not yield
but very little after the expense of tillage,
ami gailiering In paid; hut I do know
that a field of Ber nuda needs no cultiva
tion and Dogatheiing that cannot readily
bo done by a flock of sheep or herd of
cow* and ralvea. The rain and nunnhino
does not coat a cent, it makea the gram
grow, and liie cows and calves do not
charge any filing forgathering it. There
is really a clear piolit from the graaa
crop, but on the cotton aide of the ques
tion there ia not mough left, alter pay
ing expense*, to talk Hlautt.

From an exchange : An aid question

fu,- l- en fottnd to amount to an average
of seven per cent, Memphis appearing
to be the worst of all the cotton porta in
respect to this grievance Planters and
cotton brokers in the United ,States must
be prepared to receive what is called “an
earnest rc-monstrance,” which will lie
addressed to them in order to give it a
stronger official and important character,
through the American chamber of com
merce, the United Cotton Association,
ami the Liverpool Cotton Brokers
association. Moreover, Lancashire spin
ners will be required to report weekly to
the Manchester committee all cases of
damp cotton that come under their
notice. The Pall Mall Gazette *ys:
“if the Americans damp unmanu
factured cotton with a view of increasing
its weight their conduct is inexcusable
tVhat would be thought of British firms
who adopited artificial means for increas
ing the weight of manufacted cotton
goods; such, for instance, as ‘heavy
siring ?’ If wc were guilty of trade tricks
of this deseiiplion we should lie ashamed
to loolr any other nation in the face.”
The conclusive answer to this i * that it
is notorious fact that especially in the
eastern market, British cotton goods are
outrageously and regularly weighed and
; loaded with dyes and clu micala.

This epitaph, some of the words of
which are hardly legible any longer, is
the only record left of one of the most
terrible tragedies that ever took place in
the Old Dominion.
It was in 1798 that John Hemphill, a
young man, who said he was from Hanta
(Jill*, in the West Indies, arrived at Wil
liam.bunr and settled there as a tobacco
planter. He had pilenty of money and
was able to purchase about one thou-and
acies of the finest soil within a short dis
tance of the old town.
Being apparently a gentleman in every
sense of the word, Mr. Hemphill was
admitted to the best tociety in his new
home, and a year later he was married
to Sarah Jones, a beautiful heiress, the
wedding festivities being celebrated with
extraordinary pomp and splendor. In
course of time two daughters were born
to the young couple, and everybody pre
dicted a long career of cloudless happiness
for them. Alas! How terrible those
bright anticipations were to las disap
point* <1- It wn* on Christmas eve, in
1801, that a strange looking man, in a
sort of military uniform, appeared at the
house ol Mr. Hemphill, who was iu
Richmond at the time. Mrs. Hemphill
received the stranger iu the parlor.
“ | i,i you speak French, madam,” be
said to her in very broken Engliab.
Hhe replied in the affirmative.
" Then, madam, please send your two
nurse girl* with the children out of the
room.”
k -he did so. ami looked interrogatively
at her visitor. The latter hesitated a
moment. Then he said in a tone of deep
emotion.
“ Poor lady, I have terrible tidings for
you.”
“ Heavens I” she cried, turning very
pale, “ my husband—”
“ Your husband is an infamous vil
lian.”
“ sir!" she exclaimed, indignantly.
“He has basely deceived you. tie ia
an escaped galley slave, a thiel. and a
murderer!”
Hhe uttered a heartrending scream.
" I >,) you tell me the truth?” she
erasi* and
“ lie is a Spanish thief, and was sen!
to the galleys of Barcelona for life. He
made his escape from thence, and fled to
Cuba, where he rubbed and murdered a
rich planter. I am here to take him to
Cuba, where the seatfold surely awaits
him.”
The afflicted lady had Iwcobm strangely
calm.
• Hir,” she said to the stranger, “ before
you arrest him, will you permit me to
hold a private interview with—with—”
“ His true name is .loan Cefirio. If
you will let me remain in an adjoining
loom until he returns from R rhrnond,
when be has gone, I understand, you
may see him privately.”
" I expect him hack every moment.”
Half an hour later, Cefirio, alias Hemp
hill made his appearance. Jlis wife
britfiv told him everything. He flew
into a terrible rage. He shot her through
the heart, and rushed out of the room to
the nursery, where he stabbed his two
little daughters. Next moment the
i u ban < flicer, who had lusher I alter him,
grappled with him. and succeeded, alter
a desperate struggle, iu shackiiug him.
The news of this horrible tragedy spread
like wiidflre through the old town, and
in less thau twenty minutes a large con
course of people had gathered in front of
Hemphill, alias Ceiirio’s house. Voci
ferous threats to lynch the murderer
were made, aud the deputy sheriffs, who
I were promptly ou hand to arrest him,
had the utmost difficulty in taking him
to jail, where he was chained to the floor,
uaving threatened to commit suicide.
The villain was hung on the 17th ot
May, 1808 -[Cincinnati Enquirer.

The ruling sensation in this state at
present is the recent sentence of Kate
Southern, the Pickens county murder
er. The history of the crime for which
she was convicted is a thrilling tale ot
jealousy. During the Christmas holidays
of 1876 Kate Southern, a newly married
bride, stabbed and killed Mrs. Xarciesa
Cowartat a public bail at Jasper.Pickens
county. Kate Hamhright, the daughter
of a well-to-do farmer, and the acknowl
edged belle of what is known as the
“mountain counties” in the northern
part of the state, after a long and per*
sistrnt courtship allowed Mr. Southern
to lead her to the altar. Though Kate
had scores of suitors, she was not more
popular than “ Bob,” He was handsome,
well-formed, good-hearted, reckless,
young, and better fitted for breaking
hearts than for any practical business.
Principal among therivalsof Kate Ham
bright was a Mrs. Narcissa Cowart.
A GRABS WIDOW,
who had known and loved young South
ern, and who, it is said, was divorced
In m her husband with the hope of
marrying “ Bob” Hiuthcrn. After Bob
and Kate were married Mrs. Cowart en
couraged Houtbern in his attentions to
her more than ever. “Bob” being flat
tered by her encouragement, and thiuking
lightly about hi > wife's complaints about
his talking to Mrs. Cowart, laughed at
his wife being jealous ot iiis “ old sweet
heart,” and became mere devoted and
conspicuous in his attentions to her.
The newly-married wile, seeiug or be
lieving that an old rival was trying to
supplant her in her husband’s affections
before the honeymoon had fairly com
menced, not only grieved in secret, hut
complain* and frequently to tier husband
and near relatives about “ Bob” and Mrs.
Cowart being together so much. Her
complaints doing no good she went to
Mrs. Cowart, with whom she had never
been friendly, and ap|iealed to her not
to persist in encouraging her husband’s
attentions and trying to destroy the hap
piness of her home by coming b. tween
man ami wife. This interview is reported
to have been rather stormy, and the
rivals parted with anything but friendly
feelings. It is said that in this interview
M's. Cowart said, “ What if fdo part
man and wif* ? Was I not
DIVORCED FOR HIS SAKE?”
Mrs. Southern, tt-eing her appeal to
Mrs. Cowart had done no good, exacted
a promise* from her husband that he
would never speak to Mrs. Cowart further
than politeness required. Hoon after this
and only about three months after she
w,as married, a (Ihristmas party was giverr
at Mr. Hambritht’s (Kate’s father).
During the (lay Kate heard that Mrs.
Cowart had said that she intended danc
ing with Southern that night in spite of
his wife. Kate, niter this, went to her
husband and attempted to get him to
promise not todancewith “ that woman,”
as she called her. “ Bob,” instead of
granting the request, teased her about
being jealous, Alter the crowd had as
sembled, Kate, meeting Mrs. Cowart in
the dressing-room, begged her not to
emtourage her husband if he made ad
vances to her. .Mrs. Cowart replied
tauntingly tlmt he needed no encourage
ment, l.ate that night Kate came into
the ball-room and was surprised to see
her husband and Mrs. Cowart at the head
set, that was terming to dance. Hhe
hurried across the room and reminded
her husband that he had an engagement
with her for that set. Mrs, Cowart
spoke up, declaring that site intended
dancing that set with Mr. Southern, say
ing something about having known him
much longer than Kate hart. Kate
walked out in the varrl and
WATClir.ll THEM THROUGH I III: WINDOW,
until the set whs nearly over, doing to
her father, -lie burrowed his pocket
knife, and concealing it in the folds of
her dress, walked up to her husband and
Mrs. Cowart just as the dance closed, and
remarking, ” You have danced enough,”
whipped out the knife and plunged it up
to the hilt in Mr- Cowart’s shoulder,
severing one of the arteries running from
the neck. She then slashed her dress
across the left boast, the blade ot the
knife cutting through the upper portion
of the heart. Mrs. Cowart tell dead
without speaking a word, and Kate
Southern, like an infuriated tigress,
jumped on the dead body, ripped open
the abdomen, aud would have literally
hacked it to pieces, it someone had not
attracted her attention by calling out,
in an authoritative way, “ What man
killed this woman?” Kate .Southern
drew heiself up proudly, and said dtfi
autlv, “I am the man that did it; and I
ought to have done it long ago.” One of
tor floor managers called out that no one
must be allowed to leave the room until
the matter was luliy investigated. At
this juncture Southern stepped up to
Kate, and putting one arm around her,
drew a pistol with the other, pointing to
the doorway, which by this time was
filled with people, and said in a deter
mined way, “ We are going out that
door, if 1 have to
SHOOT OUR WAV THROUGH.”
His brother by this time was at his side,
pistol iu hand, to share his late The
crowd rapidly moved back, and Bob
Southern, his wile and nether left tbc
house, and that night 'etl the country iu
di-guise, and made their way to Marion
county. North Ciroliea. where thty
iived happily ou a Mnu ;or nearly a year.
I luring their stay there a child was born,
which now snares their privity. A
tew months ago they were arrested whi.e
they were ou the < w of 1 -a vine their
farm for the purpose of coming l>ack to
•teorgia to stand trial. Very little ex
citement was create.! by :arrest or
trial. Everybody seemed to take it tor
granted that it would re-ait in ana.*-
quittal. During the live days while
the trial was in progress Kate Southern,
who bed lost none of her beauty from
confinement, sat in the court-room with j
her child (about six months old) in her
arms. The child, unconscious of the
terrible reality of her surrounding-,
smiled at everybody, and played and
toyed with Kate’s bands, rings, etc.,
almost Incessantly. The scene was an
affecting one. The father of the mur- j
dered woman was in the court room rmist
of the time, and toward the close of the
trial seemed to sympathize with Kate as
much as any one] When the
SENTENCE OF DEATH
was pronounced on her, be wept immod
erately. She is now under sentence to
hang on the 21st ot June. A motion for
anew trial will be made on the 13th inst.
The case will tlun go to the supreme ;
court. In case the supreme court af
firms the decision of the court below, she
will be re-sentenced to haDg some time
in October. Here comes another serious
complication. It has been discovered that
.Mrs. Southern is now pregnant, expect
ing confinement during the latter part of
October or the fir*! of November, and
the laws of this state declare that no
woman -hall be hung while quick with
child. UeDce a deiay must necessarily j
ire made. It u safe, I think, to say in
advance that she will never be bung.
Gov. Smith, oar last governor, dug his
political grave by allowing Susan F.ber
hart to hang, and it Gov. Colquitt is not
impressed with the justice of commuta- j
tion or pardon, he is too much of a
politician not to interfere. A young
married lady told me to-day that it ■
Colquitt refused to pardon this woman
every married lady in the state would
use her influence against him if he was i
ever a candidate for office again.
. You need not be afraid of giving too
much, the old colored pastor said. “If
any ob you know of any church w’at
died ob liberality, jes tell whar it is, an’
I will make a pilgrimage to it, an’ by de
soft light ob de pale moon I will crawl
upon ils moss-covered roof an’ write
upon do topmost shingle, ‘ Blessed am
de dead who die in de Lord.”

Do they expect people to take th* otter? Any
