CLIFF CLAY'S CItOl*.
f
Montgomery M. Folsom Tells What He
Saw at Clay's Plantation.
Mr. M. M. Folsom, who spent several
days in Amoricus last week, took a turn
out to Col. C. C. Clay's plantation, and
gave the Atlanta Journal an interesting
account of the day, from which we ex
tract the following:
Imagine, if you can, a regular little
village of whitewashed cottages, facing a
big barn and mule lot, and oil at a little
ditance a low-eaved, brown-liued man
sion, with sweeping piazzas and a breezy
hall; and big spreading oak trees in
front; and—
You have the plantation home of this
prince of planters.
It was still a long time till dinner, so
we passed the house and went bowling
away along the winding road that leads
through tlie Helds.
Far as the eye could read: to the
Tight, to the left, front and rear, lay j
spread out the green fields bedewed
with one of the most magnificent crops
that it has ever been my fortune to be
hold.
Think of 200 acres in one body that
will yield over 200 bales of cotton!
It is land that lias been cleared the
third year, and the roots are still in the
soil, but rich, dark, green cotton stands
with boughs interlacing across four and
a half foot rows, are a mass of bolls
from top to bottom.
Three years ago Mr. Clay came Into
possession of these lands. It was the
Furlow place then, and while the lands
were of a magnificent character, the
place was badly run down and produced
poor crops, the very best being no more
than a bale to three acres.
But Mr. Clay is a brainy farmer,
went to work with a will, and the result
is the finest crops, to the size of it, per
haps in the stai e of Georgia.
He has 1,000 acres in cotton, from
which he will get 000 bales. Two hun
dred acres of that, according to the opin
ions of expert cotton men, will go over
200 bales.
This cotton is already made, in a groat
measure, as three is grown fruit enough
to make a splendid crop on the stalks
right now, though the cotton has two
months to grow.
In working this cotton he cultivated
about thirty acres to the plow, and used
about two and a half tons of Zell's
guano to the plow.
In addition to his great cotton crop he
has 000 acres of corn that will make fif
teen to twenty bushels per acre.
Then he has harvested a fine oat crop,
and will securo a good crop of potatoes
and peas, with other side crops.
His great crop is cotton, however.
He has a sixty-horse-power gin knock
ing out twelve bales a day in season, and
he keeps the railroad hot hauling his
crop to Americas.
A Sad Death.
Mr. Homer Scaife, engineer on the
construction train of the Georgia and
Albany Construction Company, died at
Hurtsboro, Ala., on the S. A. «fc M.
road, on Monday morning last. He was
a young man of sterling qualities, a
good engineer, and well liked by all
of his comrades. He had just passed
his twenty-first birthday, and was a fine
specimen of manhood. Ilis death is in
deed a sad one, as he died away from
home, although loving hands adminis
tered to his wants and tenderly cared
for him in his last hours.

Notice!
The pstrons of Tnx Timks-Kecgrder
are urged to pay promptly the bills
which are now due for subscription, ad
vertising and job work for the past
month. A newspaper has to pay Its
labor the cash weekly, aud on tbe first
of tbe month It is necessary for all its
bills to be promptly collected.
The current expenses of The Times-
Recorder establishment are about 850
per day, which must be paid every
Monday without fall or delay.
We are therefore compelled to press
collections; and while the small bills
that some owe may cause them to re
gard the matter at insignificant, these
small accounts aggregate several thou
sand dollars, which we are compelled to
collect promptly to meet our obligations.
A newspaper can’t run a week with
out money; so come up to the captain’s
office and settle.
