THE
CLARKE’S FIRST HANGING
GROWING RATHER SERIOUS.

Future—The Supreme Court Af-'
firms the Decision of the
Lower Court In the Case
of WlUt&m Johnson.
Extensive Preparations for Fighting
Still Going on—Guns, Ships
and Men are Ready
for the Fray.
William Johnson, the negro murderer,
who dow languishes in Clarke county
jr.il, will in all human probability,
stretch hemp ere many months pass
away.
On yesterday the Supreme court of
Georgia handed down its decision in
bis appeal oase and affirmed the decis-
on of the lower court which said he
should hang.
Judge Hutchins will probably re
sentence the condemned negro at an
early date, and then all that can save
his neck will be interference on the par?
of Governor Northea.
The story of the orime for which he
was convicted is well known to the peo-
plu-of Athens. One Sunday afternoon
of this year John Webb, a negro in the
employ of Messrs. L. Wright & Co ,
coot' ctors on the Georgia, Carolina &
Northern railway, went oveT to another
camp with a message and as be
got down off his male, he
was shot by a Winchester rifle in the
hands of William Johnson; another ne
gro-
No motive was assigned for the deed.
Johnson at once fled, and was captured
in Oglethorpe County soon after, and
b r ought. back to Clarke County.
He was indicted for murder, and was
put on trial in Clark? Superior Court
before his honor, Judge N. L Hutch-
lus. He was ably defended by Col. A.
G. McCurry of the local bar, and was
given every advantage of a fair and im
partial trial before a jury of twelve cit
izens of Clarke County, who after hear
ing the evidence in the case returned a
verdict of guilty, and accordingly
Johnson was sentenced to hang.
ilis case was carried on appeal, how
ever, to the Supreme Court, who after
hearing the appeal, have decided that
the verdict of the lowercourt shall
stand.
OUll MUST HANGING.
And H Johnson is hung, it will be
the first person ever hung in Clarke
county by it verdiot of a jury. There
are few counties in the state that cau
show as clear a record in the matter of
hangings, and morever, this results be-
o .use of the very few murder cases that
h ivs oecured in this county.
B Tore the county of Oconee was cut
off from Clarke and when Watkiusvllle
was the county seat of Clarke county,
several hangings ocoured there, bat
on the ground now covered' by the
limits of Clarke county there has- never
been a legal execution.
During the war there was a negro
man lynched over near Dr. McClesky’s
o d place on the Georgia railroad. A
Banner reporter was speaking with
an old citizen concerning this event
last night, who remarked that this was
the only mob he had ever seen.
-‘I will never forget said be the
events that transpired during that
lynching. -I was standing in my office
on Broad street and heard the lateChan-
Lvlior Lipscomb as he begged and. per
snaded with the lynchers to let the maj
e-ay of the law be preserved and to lei
justice take its course. When he "bad
liuij-hed, the leader of the mob, and
minister of the gospel at that, turned to
the crowd and said, “Come on boys,”
and away they went in a trot, dragging
the negro along with a rope around his
neck until they disappeared down
Broad street. I never want to see an
other mob.”
In all human probability Johnson
will be bung at an early date. The
bangiag will be in private, in the jail
yard in this city and none will be ad
united except a few officers of the oonrt

PRESIDENT AND HIS CABI
NET HOLD A CONFERENCE.
Washington, Dec. 29.—The presi
dent and his oabinet held a close con
ference relative to the Chilian embrog-
llo. Extensive preparations for war are
going on at the ordnanoe department,
while denials are being made that any
idgnificanee could be attached to them.
Much talk is caused by Minister Ea
gan’s not attending the inauguration of
President Montt, bat the latest indica
tions are that Eagan was not invited.
The order has been issued for the im
mediate shipment of a new 18-inch gnn,
which has had only one test at tbs
proving grounds, by fast freight to San
Francisco, where it is to be placed on
board of the Monterey.
A shipment of 42,000 pounds of pow
der and 11,000 8-inch shells has also
been ordered from the League Island
navy yard to the same destination.
In speaking of this bnrried shipment,
a naval official said that it was under
stood to be the intention of the depart
ment to send the cruiser now finishing
there to Chili, should it be necessary
without her armour wbioh, he thought,
would be a very hazardous proceeding.
England is evidently “agging” Chili
on, and now it looks like war. Many
young; military men, hungering for dis
tinction. have already applied for
ChiNaa commissions.
Chili’s haring applied for 100 metres
space at the World’s Fair, indicates
that if she expect* war it will bo of
short duration.
It is believed that before the time for
real fighting t* begin, the shoe-string
government will see which tide her
iread it battered on, and make Unde
8am the necessary apologies.

Reducing the Acreage.
Jackson, Mist., Dea 29.—The low
price of cotton has created consterna
tion among the fanners, and the talk
of reducing the acreage next year is
rife, and seems to be the only remedy,
but can united action in the matter be
had? Talk is cheap, and will the dis
mission end in smoke? To illustrate
hew it may end, the remarks of a {flan-
tar, who was discussing the matter, are
quoted. After an expression of his
opinions that reduction in production
was the only remedy, etc., and urging
this course by the planters, a corres
pondent said to him: ‘’Well, Mr. Blank,
how much are yon going to cut down
your cotton acreage?” With a slirng of
the shoulders, he whispered, "None;
am not raising enough now, but my
neighbors and everybody else are plant
ing too much."

MeElree’s Wine of Cardiff for weak Nerves
Smut In Wheat.
Smut in wheat is a parasite fungus of
a low degree. The spores, which an
swer the place of seeds in higher orders
of plants, are in the form of a minute
black dust, and these are scattered over
the field, in the grass, straw, chaff, also
adhering to the sound grain after it is
gathered, and may be sown with it the
following year; and when conditions are
favorable these smut spores germinate,
their threads penetrating all parts of the
growing plant and ultimately producing
smutty wheat again. Smutty grain may
appear in dry as well as in wet seasons,
and the abundance of smut in the wheat-
fields of a locality may be due to the
continnous cropping of particular fields
with wheat, oats or some closely allied
grain. To prevent 6mut a system of ro
tation of crops should be adopted and
the seed wheat be soaked for a few hours
in a solution of sulphate of copper, or in
a weak brine made with common salt,
for the purpose of killing any smut
spores that may be oh the grain.
A good way to prepare seed wheat for
sowing is to dissolve one pound of sul
phate of copper in two gallons of water,
or in this proportion for any quantity re
quired. The wheat should be placed in
tabs or casks, filling up to within three
or four inches of tb# top, then pouring
in the solution until the grain is well
covered. The wheat is then to be stirred
thoroughly, and should any whole smut
grains come to the surface they have to
be skimmed off. After soaking for an
hour or two the liquor is to be drained
off, the grain spread out on a floor and
dusted with dry lime or wood ashes
after which it is to be sown as usual.
Cheap Plan tor Warming a Tank of
Water, Given by an Ohio Farmer.
Mr. John Gould described the arrange
ment shown in the cut for warming a
tank of water, in or ont of the bam, in
a recent issue of The Country Gentleman.
Assuming that the water tank is thirty-
six inches deep, get a tin pail as deep and
ten inches in diameter, made with a cover,
in which an inch hole is pat. Have an
inch tube, B, two inches long, soldered
on near the bot
tom, and punch
ed through, and
to this tube at
tach an inch hose,
A, or pipe, mak
ing a water tight
joint at B. Sink
this tin pail in
the tank, and by
hooks or other
wise fasten it to
the bottom, so
that it remains
fixed. Have the
hose, A, fastened
to the side, so' as
to be a little warming a tank of
above the top of water.
the paiL Fill the tank with water to
the dotted line, and arrange so that it
cannot fill more, and submerge the pail
Now put a 50 cent oil stove, D, into the
pail, with oil enough to ran it one hour,
and put it (lighted) into the bottom of
the pail. Put on the pail cover and the
water in the tank will soon be warm
enough. It is best to have a cover for
the tank that can bo shut down and
hold in heat that escapes from the pail.
The tube, A, supplies the air to keep the
fire going. The fire of course goes ont
when the oil fails and there can be no
possible danger. A pint of oil, costing
lees than one cent, will warm a tank of
water. The cost of this apparatus all
told is: Pail, $1; stove, 50 cents; hose, 20
cents; the rest—gumption.

taking ont the water in buckets by hav
ing an inch hose affixed to the bottom of
the tank, the hose being long enough to
reach to any part of cow or horse stable
and box stalls. The pressure sends the
water through the hose about as fast as
four cows can drink; so large pails are
set in the mangers, the water “hosed”
into them, and three cows are thus kept
drinking; when one cries, “Hold,

Wintering Bane Indoors.
An advocate for wintering bees in a
cellar, Charles Zillmer by name, in a
paper read before a Wisconsin meeting
of beekeepers, gave reaeons for his pref
erence for indoor wintering. The lead
ing one was that in a good,-dry cellar
an even temperature can be most easily
maintained^, during the winter season,
and the warm spells in February, while
making a decided impression on bees
wintered ont of doors or in a house,
passes without any effect to bees in cel
lars.
He said on the subject of chaff hives:
“These hives do not let the heat in as
quickly as do others, but when the heat
is once in there it stays; the bees in chaff
hives consume from twenty to twenty-
five pounds more of honey during the
winter than those wintered in a cellar.
In single walled hives the cost is about
half as much as it would be in a chaff
hive, and one can save enough honey on
fifty-nine colonies wintered in a cellar
in one year to build a good cellar.”
It must be remembered that the win
ters in Mr. Zillmer's locality are very
cold, hence a good cellar is the safest
place in which to winter his bees. The
important points in successful wintering
in cellars are, The avoidance of exces
sive moi8tnre and the maintenance of a
temperature as-near 45 degs. as is possi
ble from November to April.

Seeping Corn Fodder.
Corn fodder keeps well when properly
shocked in the field, although there is
some loss from exposure to the weather,
but this would not deserve to betaken
into consideration if it were the only ob
jection. Often it is desired to seed the
field to wheat, when the corn shocks are
found to be greatly in the way. Then
hauling it off to be fed in the winter as
it is wanted must generally be done un
der such unfavorable conditions of the
weather and the soil as to make it a very
disagreeable business. I aim to husk my
corn and haul the stalks from the field
during good weather in the fall and take
the best care of them I can to keep them
from becoming moldy. One of the best
methods of packing fodder away either
in a mow, stack or rick, is to put on
alternately a thin layer of dry wheat
straw. This will absorb moisture from
the stalks and if the fodder itself is dry
when stored away, it will come out
bright and sweet when it is wanted.
When stored thus outside of the bam it
must be covered with straw. A long
rick is better than a round stack, for it
can then be fed from one end without

Prince Bismarck narrowly escaped
being the victim of a railroad-crossing
accident on Chiistmas Day. The inci
dent may lead the thoughtful Germans
to remark that if the Emperor should
be killed Germany could get another
Emperor just as good as he, but Ger
many sees no prospect of getting
another Bismarck.

I’ll hustle away with my lore.’ 1
Bo quickly away to his dashing; young
aunt
He sped, and he stated his case.
She put on a beautiful emerald shell
And painted and powdered her face.
Her trim little neck was a wonder to see.
All studded with pearl* of great price,
And when the old lobster caught night of
her face,
He thought she was awfully nice.
She got the old fellow entangled at once.
And, while they were deep in a chat.
The carrier clam took the girl of hki choice
Away to a beautiful flat.
And now, at the home of the carrier dam,
They’ve made them of seaweed & swing;
And while their papa is away on hi*
rounds
The little dams gather and sing.
And oh, how glad was the portly whale,
And the shark, and the porpoise, too, -
To think of the bright little carrier clam
As they harried their papers through.
And yet, as he sped o’er the deep sen bed.
This poor little clam would sigh,
When he thought of his lobster love above
Who lived on a rock near by.
For slul her papa was a monster grim,
And the gallant dam well knew
That If he should tackle that terrib le daw
He’d live but a minute or two.
And so as ho swam in a dismal way,
There suddenly came to bis mind
The sylphlike form of his maiden aunt,
Whose thoughts were to Cupid imfllned.
The few stray Republicans left in
the House of Representatives have been
