Peas and Oats.
Mr. A. E. Sturges, of Tompson
Hu., writes to the Atlanta Consti
tution :
Since the publication
correspondent svs to my
meats of sowing peas in
with my oats, I have been flooded
with letters in reference to the
same. Knowing I can reach more
of those seeking information
through your paper than any other
channel in the State 1 , I ask a short
space to give my experiments and
success in sowing and raising peas
in my harvest fields. As soon as
land gets too cold to germinate the
peas, I sow them broadcast witli
my oats, using one to two bushels
per acre of the red or yellow cow
peas, according to fertility of land.
I enrich them with fifteen to swen-
ty-five bushels per acre of cotton
seed sown broadcast. I then turn
all under together as deep as I can
with a one-hors turning plow. By
the time my oats are ready for the
reaper, say from the first to the last
of May, owing to temperature of
the season, my peas are up and
well-rooted and soon commence to
run, after the oats are harvested,
so as to shade the earth, thereby
choking out the weeds. Being
runners, they cover everything in
their reach and never fail to yield a
good crop with moderate seasons,
besides leaving a heavy crop of
vegetable matter in vines, leaves
and roots to enrich my land. They
are by far the cheapest and best
fertilizer we can use. If you wish
to sow the same field in oats, leave
enough peas on the vines when
gathering for seed, and you will
have a good stand the next spring
without sowing. While I often
make partial failures where I plant
peas in my corn-fields in dry falls
like the past, I never fail from oat-
fields when snow in the fall. If you
wish to use them for hay, they are
ready by the last of July, which is
a leisure time with farmers. While
I prefer not to expose my land to
the hot rays of the autumn sun or
rob it of all it makes by cutting the
vines for hay, notwithstanding I
have seen some well written argu
ments trying to prove the land lost
nothing by cutting the vines, as
the roots more than
the earth for its loss.
I sow the early
which ripens three, or four weeks
earlier than the rustproof sown at
the same time and yield equally ns
well, and have never rusted on my
land in four years, sowing. I have
sown peas with the rust-proof oats
and they did well.
A Lesson from Real Life.
Robert Martin, a well educated
and gentlemanly man, resided in
Newark, N. J., with his wife, four
sons and a daughter. Though an able
machinist, lie could not get regular
employment on account of hisdrink-
ing habits. On the night of June
15,1881, he returned home intoxica
ted, and became involved in a quar
rel with his wife, She left the
house and he went to his room. A
few minutes later she returned, and
went to the room where he was,
picked up her infant daughter, who
had been lying in her cradle, and
started down stairs. Martin follow
ed her from the room, and with a
revolver fired at her three times.—
All of the shoots took effect, and one
shot struck the baby in the abdo
men. Roth mother and child died
almost instantly. He was convic
ted of murder, and all the efforts
which were allowed by law were
perseveringly made to get the sen
tence mitigated, on the ground,
chiefly, that he was intoxicated.—
These efforts, appealing from one
court to another occupied over two
years of terrible suspense, but they
were in vain. Jersey justice stood
firm, and Jersey mercy should have
refused to allow such protracted
punishment. Not till the day be
fore the execution did he cease to
hope that he would be saved from
the gallows. He said, “I am not
afraid of death, but oh, the disgrace
that my death will bring on my
sons!” When his four fine-looking
boys bade him farewell, he took the
youngest on his knee, stroked his
head, and cried over him. He was
hanged next morning (last Thurs
day.) Oh, that men should put a de
vil into their mouth to steal away
theirbrains! Yet there are thou
sands of youths growing up with
RobertMartin’s habits.

Bill Arp, whose quaint and de
lightful humor embellishes and pop
ularizes the good, old, fashioned
horse sense, which he contributes
from time to time to the papers, in a
recent letter to the Southern Culti
vator says:
There is a power of comfort in
having some new thing occasional
ly—new curtains, a new carpet, a
new lamp, new clothes, new chairs,
a new sewing machine, or a new
stove to cook on—it won’t do for
things to last too long. V e get tir
ed seeing the furniture in the same
plqpes in a room and it is a relief to
move the bed to another corner
and the bureau to the other side.—
Even the land we cultivate wants a
change of crops and the stock wants
a change of diet. The birds and the
beasts change their preachers and
people change their rulers, and
some folks would change their
wives if they could. I don’t believe
in living in it house too fine for com
fort, or having furniture so fine the
children are afraid too touch it. The
Scriptures say that even the Sab
bath was made for man and not
man for the Sabbath, and so a house
ought to be made for man, too, and
not man for the house. But a wo
man deserves nicer things than a
man, for she has more refined tas
tes and she has to live and .4ay in
the house more and can’t get away
from it—it is her abiding place and
ought not to be her prison—it ought
to he made as pleasant and inviting
to her as possible. Beatiful pic

Tbe Local Newspaper.
A prominent exchange, treating
of the local newspaper and its mis
sion of usefulness says: It is the
most useful ahd the leastcompensa
ted and appreciated of all the agen
cies which stamp the impress of
progress upon villages and inland
cities. Without the local newspa
per local towns are, as a rule, thrift
less and tend to decay. It is com
mon for small great men to speak
with contempt of the local news
paper. In that they imitate great
er men in speaking of greater jour
nals which offend by manly criti
cism; hut the village newspaper
makes more great men out of less
material—more bricks without
straw—than any other factor in
politics, and it is the one ladder on
which men climb to localjjdistinc-
tion as the beginning of wider
fame. Local weeklies have now
extended from the country towns
into most of the thrifty villages,
and the advent of the local news
paper has always dated the increas
ed thrift of the community. The
local newspaper is the life of its
locality, and tin* measure of its
support, as a rule, measures the
advancements of the people, Not
only subscribe for but pay for your

BEST BAKING POWDER.
Interesting Tests Made by the Govern
ment Chemist.
Hr. Edward G. Love the present
Analytical Chemist for the Govern
ment, has recently made some in
teresting experiments as to the
comparative value of baking pow
ders. Hr. Love’s tests were made
to determine what brands are the
most economical to use, and as
their capacity lies in tlier leaven
ing power, tests were directed sol
ely to ascertain the available gas of
each powder. Hr. Love’s report
gives the following:

per each ounce of Powder.
“Royal” (cream tartar powder) 127.4
“Patapsco” (alum powder) 125.2*

*In his report the Government
Chemist says:
“I regard all alum powders as
very unwholesome. Phosphate
and Tartaric Acid powders liber
ate their gas too freely in process
of baking, or under varying climate
changes suffer deterioration.”
Dr. H. A. Mott, the former Gov
ernment Chemist, after a careful
and elaborate examination of the
various Baking Powders of com
merce, reported to’the Government
in favor of the Royal brand.

Times of Joseph E. Brown.’” We
have not received the above nam

rival “postage paid.” We would
like to recive it. The main points
upon which we wish to examine it
are to see what his biographer has
to say about tin* Senator’s gallant
capture of Fort Pulaski, wliat did
really become of the large amount
of cotton which was in Liverpool at
the close of the war belonging to
the Soldiers’ Relief.Society of which
Joseph E. Brown was president, his
action at the Chicago Radical con
vention, and especially how he
managed to let the Columbus pris

in which he had them so securely

Hasty Words.
Half the actual trouble of life
would be saved if people would
remember that silence is gblden—
when they are irritated, vexed or
annoyed. To feel provoked or ex
asperated at a trifle when the
nerves are exhausted is perhaps
natural to us, in our imperfectly
sanctified state. But why put the
annoyance into the shape of speech,
which once uttered is remembered,
which may burn like a blistering
wound or rankle like a poisened
arrow ? If a child be crying, or a
friend capricious, or a servent un
reasonable he careful what you say.
Do not speak while you feel the
impulse of anger, for you
will be almost certain to
say more than your cooler judg
ment will approve, and to speak in
a way that you will regret. Re
silent till the' sweet by-and-by’—
when you shall be calm, rested and
self controlled,

R. U. U. B.
A good joke is told on Maj. Wilk
inson and Rob Heardeman, rival
candidates for State Treasurer.
One is named R. U. Hardeman
and the other U. B. Wilkinson. The
Major went into the Comptroller’s
office and said to Rob, who was
chief clerk there, “R. U. a -candi
date for State Treasurer?” To
which Bob replied, with his pecu
liar smile. “U. B.,” which ended the
dialogue.
Maj. D. N. Speer, State Treasurer,
feels compeled to retire from pul>-
lic life and devote his time to his
increasing private business, al
though he is strongly pressed on
all sides to offer for re-nomination.
Maj. U. B. Wilkinson, of Coweta, is
an ex-member of the General As
sembly, a substantial and honored
citizen of his county, and will go
into the convention with a strong
following. But I learn that “Bob”
Hardeman, as he is familiarly
called, is just as good as nominated
now, his host of friends all through
the State having assured him that
they will either support him them
selves in the convention or see to it
that their delegates indorse his can
didacy. In either event, the State
will have an honest, able and ac
commodating Treasurer.

“I do” replied the accused, de

much more than a tramp now.”

Marcy’s High Sense of Honor.
During the winter of 1851 the
Hon. William L. Marey was
boarding at the Irving House,
(corner of Chambers street.) One
morning the office hoy handed him
a letter from New Orleans. The
substance of the letter was as fol
lows: “Inclosed fine our check on a
New York bank for -$1,000. which
we send you as a retainer in a suit
in a few days.” Mr. Marey inquir-
wliat he ought to do. We replied:
“Put it in your pocket and wait for
business.” “No, sir!” he replied, with
an emphasis, “It’s a bribe.” Then
he wrote a letter to his correspond
ent saying would be more proper
to state the nature and character
of the suit, and if he agreed to give
his service then they might offer
him a retainer, and inclosed the
check to the sender by return mail.
I wonder if our New York lawyers
all do just so in 1884 ?
Judge Buchanan introduced a bill
to appropriate one hundred thous
and dollars to improve the Chatta
hoochee between West Point and
Columbus, ane the same amount
for improvements from West Point
to Bolton point, where the Western
and Atlantic railroad crosses the
river. The engineers estimate
that the river can be made navi
gable from Bolton to West Point
for four hundred and eighty thous
and dollars. Their plan is to open
the river from Balton to Columbus,
the present head of navigation.
Mr. Buchanan also introduced a
bill establishing a post route from
Bowdon, Carroll county, to Waco
ville, on the Georgia Pacific.

Some weeks since the Committee
of the Science of Political Econ
omy of the Lime-Kiln Club were
instructed to carefully investigate
query: “Why will a man pay out
$4,000 to he elected to a $3,000
office ?” The matter was taken in
hand and every effort made to ar
rive at a satisfactory solution, but
the committee now come forward
with the acknowledgement that it
was too much for them, and they
asked to be discharged from the
further consideration of the subject.
“Har, am sartain’ tilings which

“He committee am discharged, an’

How to Judge.
Dont judge a man by the clothes
he wears; God made one and the
tailor the other. Don’t judge him
by his family, for Cain belonged to
a good family. Don’t judge a man
by his failure in life, for many a
man fails because he is too honest
to succeed. Don’t judge a man by
thh house he lives in, for the lizard
and the rat often inhabit the gran
der structure. When a man dies,
they who ^survive him ask what
property he has left behind; the
angel who bends over the dying
man asks what good deeds he has
sent before him.
The N ew Yotk Herlad says: Some
day this crazy notion of raising only
as much revenue as theGoverment
needs and levying as few taxes as
possible will get into some party
platform, and then the trouble will
begin, for at heart the American
people have the foolish notion
that freedom is the
best, and the needless taxes are
oppressive and that exaction is
tyranny. That belief, by the way as
a national belief, dates from the
vear 1776.

Every senator of the United States
has been voted a clerk. With a $5,-
000 dollar salary these honorable
men ought to pay their clerks
themselves. Besides the senatorial
salary these gentlemen have their
railroad fares paid and $125 worth
stationery furnished yearly. Dur
ing every two years -service they
are in Washington 12 months or
half the time. They draw their pay
as regularly when at home as when
they are at Washington, so that one
year out of every two they make
$5,000 without any expense. Good
board can be obtained at Washing
ton at from seventy-five to one hun
died dollars per month. For two-
years service senators receive $10,-
250, while their necessary expenses
foot up about $1,500, leaving $8,000
for incidentals. This makes a good
margin for laying tip something for
a rainy day, for paying personal
clerk hire and giving something to
the poor and importunate constitu
ents. The modern demand for ex
travagant salaries to public officials
is one of the evils of the times and
should be rebuked. It may suit a
kingly government but out of place
in republics, Men knowing the
emoluments of an office, are terri
bly anxious to get into it, but, as
soon as they are in the place, the cry
is raised by them that their pay is
insufficient, Resides it is contra
ry to the constitution for a .member
of congress to vote ah increase of
pay to take effect during his term
service. Voting each member a
clerk is only whipping the devil
round the stump towards an actual
increase of salary .-Meriwether Vin

The iron region of Alabama is
said to be the only place in North
America where it is possible to
make iron in competition with the
cheap iron of England, as meas
ured, not by the wages paid, but by
the number of days’ labor which
enter into the production. The
cheapest place on the globe, until
now, for the manufacture of iron is
the Cleveland district, in York
shire, England. The distance of the
coal and iron there from the furn
ace is, on an average, twenty miles
In Alabama the coal and iron ore,
in many places, are within half a
mile of each other.
