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.

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 local newspaper.

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: Strength Name Cubic Inches Gas per each ounce of Powder. “Royal” (cream tartar powder) 127.4 “Patapsco” (alum powder) 125.2* ‘Rum ford’s” (phosphate) fresh 122.5* “Rumford’s” (phosphate) old .32.7* “Hanford’s None Such,” fresh 121.6 “Hanford’s None Such,” old . 84.35 “Redhead’s” 117.0 “Charm” (alum powder) 116.9* “Amazon” (alum powder). . ,111.9* “Cleveland’s” (short weight K oz.) “Sea Foam” “Czar” “Hr. Price’s” “Snow Flake” (Groff’s, St. Paul) “Lewis’s” Condensed “Congress” yeast “C. E. Andrews & Co’s” (con tains alum) “Hecker’s” 92.5 “Gillets” 84.2 “Bulk” 80.5 *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. From tin* True < itizen. Why he Wants to Read It. Many of our exchanges are just now commencing their most im portant editorial notes, with, “we have just received “the Life and Times of Joseph E. Brown.’” We have not received the above nam ed work, neither do we expect its ar 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 oners escape from the’ sweat-box in which he had them so securely locked. We suppose his biograph ic is full, pointed and clear upon these subjects.

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, Correspondence Savannah News. 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. The only Living Private. Ho with me what you please. I am an ex-Coiifederate soldier and a stranger in a strange land.” “Well, Colonel,” said his honor, the. charge against you is not a very great one. Sleeping in the street, I believe, is the extent of the law lessness.” “I am not a colonel, sir.” “What!” shouted the justice, springing to his feet, “it cannot be that I heard aright. You certainly don’t mean to say that you’re not colonel” “I do” replied the accused, de cidedly’ “I was only a private in the army, and I guess that 1 am not much more than a tramp now.” “My friend,” replied his honor, in a choking voice, “go forth. You are a free man. You are the first Southerner I have ever met was not a colonel, and the private, I honestly believe, was in the Confederate army. I am glad to have seen what consti- tured the rank and file of what was glorious piece of fighting machi nery.”—[N. Y. Journal. Christian at Work. 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. Gave it Up. 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 kin nebber he found out an, dis am one of ’em,” said the President. “He committee am discharged, an’ de meeting will now close in due form. Remember as you go out dat I amde only pusson who brung his uinbreller along to keep off de wet.” —that is my creed tion, and Airs. Arp says ins I do the best I can, A tramp was killed two mile, above Marietta, on the State road Wednesdya of last week. “My observation” s2ys 6 11 °ld bach elor, “leads me to the certain know ledge that up to twenty-five years of age a woman looks for h(?r pros pective husband with an expression, of fear and tenderness, and from then until thirty with aii expectant and anxious look; but after that a relentless, eruel determination haunts her eyes that bodes hard ship and revenge upon him should the truant at last be fouud.” Alphonse Kerr was a guest at a dinner of some homoeopathic physi cians sit Pjiris, when, after toasts had been honored to Hahnemann and to the great lights of the science how living, he was asked to propose a toast. “Gentlemen,” said he, “you have drunk the health of many physicians, but there is one toast you have forgotten. Permit me to repair the omission. I drink to the health of your patients. C0UHTY OHUBGH DIRECTORY. METHODIST EPISCOPAL. Corinth, 1st 8nml.iv and Sunday night; Alt.

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. PRIMITIVE BAPTIST.

New York World; “Statistics pul>- lislied to-day show that of all the millions.of bushels of grain carried out of this port during the past year not a peek went in a vessel flying the American fllag. This ought to cause the American ea gle to retire to the mountains until sent for to eelebrate with I screech the next centennial.” 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 dicator. 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. his During the year 1883 more than 2,800 Mormon phoselytes havearriv ed at SanFrancisco.

It is a secret known hut to few, yet of no small use in the conduct of life, that when you fall into a man’s conversation, the first thing you should consider is, whether he has a greater inclination toiler you, or that you should hear hint.— Steele.
