dhal the * governor was imposed
iupon for political purposi s when
lie was indue. J to grant a respite.
They make a strong appeal that
the sentence of Wilson be exocu
tod, and close by declaring that
*‘TH£J AbONK WSJf, SATISFY l!S.”
It is hard to {•• 1 at this time
what disposition will be made of
the case,. Some tu- inclined to
the opinion t hat Wilson’s sentence
should he .commuted, while others
maintain t;kat Wilson, who has
confessed that ho held marshal
Ozburn while Cain Stephens shot
him, is equally as guilty as Steph¬
ens, and should therefore meet
the same fate.
Wilson is being represented by
Col. E. B. Milner, who proposes
to leave nothing undone that whU
t«j of benefit to his client, and
who says he will go to Atlanta and
ask that the matter bo considered
by the pardon boar.
Solicitor-General J. F. fb-Lacy

Stale and will exert every effort
bo have the original sentence cur¬
ried out.

every grasshopper in

somewhat in chock. The boll
worm. having made his appenr
unco simultnneously with the lit
tie cotton boll itself, is, to our
mind, more suggestive of material
damage to the cotton grower than
the grasshopper. Mr. W . S. Lan¬
caster who lives just across the :
Dodge county line in I’ulaski !
county, and wh > was in Eastman
last Thursday, is the first man we
heard mention thebollworm. He
said in passing through his crop
witli a friend a few days ago they
noticed quite a number of instan
ces where the boll worm was do
ing his destructive work.
Of course at this writing it is
impossible to determine what the
result may be, but it is smeer-dy
hoped that, tho ravages of tlieso
l>ests may be slight. ^

of the elements of plant food that
necessary to the preservation of
] aU (j thus cultivated.
The best iuformed and the
scientific farmers understand that
preserve their lauds they must fur¬
nish such quantities of plant
as will replace that which
been taken from them by the
grown during the year. It has
a favorite method to try to
the drain upon the land by furnishing
the crops an artificial plant food com¬
monly known as "Commercial Fertil¬
izers.” We are willing to admit
the use of these "Commercial Fertil
jzers” benefits the growing creps, but
above stated, the clean culture lets the
summer’s sun and winter’s rains
out the remainder, so that we are
obliged to depend upon artificial
to give our crops the supply of
food necessary for succeeding crops.
Each year requires more and more fer¬
tilizer per acre in order to supply the
demand made by nature.
The question arises how can we hope
to keep our lands in a high state of cul¬
tivation; how can we give in return
more than we have taken aval’?
Year by year our laud degenerates,
and as a consequence wo become poorer.
What should we do to remedy this evil
and fill our barns?
The only answer is, save wbaiyou al¬
ready have and lay by something for
posterity. This can be done on the
farm to far bettor advantage than in
mo6t a »y °thc-r profession,
This question must be looked squarely

profession.

the necessity of bringing up their lands

we have at hand and work with energy
