A party of the northern colouista,
for Wilcox couuty, passed through
McDonough last Saturday, headed by
Mr. W. L. LinsoD, an intelligent, af
fatde gentleman. They were nicely
prepared for traveling, with three
wagons, and had been ou the road six
weeks. This colony of northern set
tlers, proposing to build a city with
12,000 inhabitants at once, besides
populating the big territory around it,
is the m ist important movement of the
kind ever undertaken in the south, and
the eyes of the country are upon it.
There is is no superior section in the
State to Ileury couuty, and our peo
ple ought to let the fact be known.
Mr. Liuson’s party were from Ver
million county, liliuois, where he in
forms us it is almost impossible to pur
chase farm lands at any price. Reu
ters pay seven dollars per acre, and
the least failure of crops luin them.
A Convict Lynched.
Perhaps the first iits'ance of a mob
attacKing the penitentiary of Georgia
and taking a convict out and lynching
him occurred at the Dade coal mine
last week.
Neal Sooth, a convict tiusty, who
was allowed the privilege of going at
large, last Thursday evening attacked
Miss Maggie Heuderson, who was on a
visit to Coal City. She made every
resistance iu her power, and when
found her throat was terribly lacerated
and her skull ciushed.
As soou as the news spread, 250 well
armed men appeared at the penitentia
ry and demanded the convict of Cap
tain Cox. lie at first refused, but th“y
threatened to tear do.vn the walls, and
he waß givt-u up. He was dragged
with a rope around his neck to the
scene of his crime anil his fingers mash
ed off one by one with a sledge ham
mer ; lift ears were cut off, and lie was
otherwise horribly punished. The
mob theu riddled his body with bullets.
The brutality of the lynching will
cause prejudice against the lynchers
that they would not have deceived had
they simply swung him to a limb or
shot him to death iu the ordinav way.
The young lady was horribly treated
by a brute, suit if mob law is justifia
ble it is in just such casts. But the
horrible manner of its execution was
not justifiable. The sawing off a man’s
ears with a dull knife, and mashing his
fingers off one by one with a sltdge
hammer before death, looks more like
Indian ferocity than the act of men
who determined that swift justice should
prertake a brutal criminal.

FALL WORK 13 NEXT IN ORDER.
And When Everything In Done the Toolh
Should Bo Laid Awujr Carefully Until
Opnortnuity Oflf.tr* to Put Them In Or

of Useful Advice to All.
Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga., Oot. J, 1895.
In years gone by and under the old
regime the fall months were given
ohiefly to the gathering of the cotton
crop, and when this work was not
pressing, farmers as a rule considered
that if they gathered and housed the
oorn and other crops and packed their
pork into the smokehouses by Christ
mas they were accomplishing their full
duty to their families, themselves and
their oafling. Under a more progres
Bive system, however, the farmor who
allows his fields to bo bare, exposed to
the destructive work of the winter’s
storms and his cattle to shiver in its
chilling blasts, is regarded as indiffer
ent to his own best interests, and lack
ing in the most important essentials of
an enlightened agriculturist. Let us
again repeat that the fall work on a
Georgia farm is as important, if not
more so, than tiiat in the spring, when
everything is in a rush aud ail calling
for attention at the same time. Muon
ot this spring rush and vexation of spirit
may be materially lightened by thought
ful planning and work now. In the
comparative leisure of the fall season,
we can lay the foundations for next
year’s crop.
FALL PLOWING,
more especially on our heavy lands,
with a red clay subsoil, not only loos
ens and aerates the land, but permits
a more extended action of the rains and
trosts which are sure to come. Lands
which have been deeply plowed in the
fall reoeive, aud what is of more im
portance, retain much of the water
whioh would otherwise be washed
away with every beating rain, taking
with it a large amount of the topsoil,
whose food producing elements have
to be replaced before we can expect a
satisfactory yield of crops. Another
advantage to be gained by fall and
early winter plowing is that on many
ot our old, cultivated lands there are
valuable mineral elements lying dor
mant, too deep to be reached by our
ordinary shallow plowing. These, to
be made valuable, must be brought to
the surface, mixed with any vegetable
matter or humus which may be found
there, and left to the action of the
frosts, the rains and the atmosphere;
three powerful agents and assistants
to the farmer. By these forcible agen- |
cies, the mineral elements, which clay
so important a part in the development
of ail crops, and for which we pay such
a high price in the form of commercial
fertilizer, can be had for the seeking, I
and their presenoe in this form and by
tne methods which we hare to use to
cat them, wiii oat our lands to batter
condition than if we wore to cover their
whole sur. ace with the highest priced
commercial goods. Therefore, even If
the work has, by reason of boating
rains, to be repeated in the spring, we
would advise, by ail means, deep plow
ing. To get the full benefit of this
work, it snould be done ns soon as pos
sible, and if a orop of rye or German
clover be planted, we have set in mo
tion foroes whioh will go far towards
supplying all three needed elements,
phosphoric acid, potash and nitrogen,
on the spot, and from the free labora
tory of naiflre; added to which our
lands will be in better condition and
our crops more certain than if we do
pended on buying all the nooessary
rood elements, instead of making a
large part at home.
WHEAT.
As indicated last month, the sowing
of this crop should be regulated as far
as possible to about tea days before our
usual killing frost is expected. A solu
tion of bluostone, applied to the seed
by soaking, will destroy the smut
spores, and rust can be in a measure
controlled by selection of seed. Judi
cious fertilizing and sowing as soon as
possible on well drained, high land,
with a northern exposure. Wheat pre
fers suoh a situation, aud It being ob
served that rust is most destructive in
hot, damp seasons, an early matur
ing variety should be selected, and
though wheat is a nitrogen ab
sorbing plant, we must exercise Judg
ment as to the quantity of this ele
ment supplied. An excessive amount, al
though producing luxuriant growth, is
a promoter of rust. The safest sonree
from which to'obtain nitrogen is a
clover stubble turned under—lacking
this, cottonseed meal comes next, or if
preferred, the whole cottonseed.
rye
oan be sown until the last of Novem
ber, and it cannot be too strongly
urged that we seed down all plowed
land. It not only tends to preserve the
land, bat is steadily manufacturing
food for our summer crops. On the
HARVESTING OF THE CORN CROP
we dwelt somewhat at length last
month. In the Georgia state building,
ou the grounds of the Cotton States
and International exposition, at At
lanta, can be seen specimens of the
plant saved entire, stalk, fodder, shuck
and ears, so that no part is wasted.
When this plan is adopted by every
farmer, it means a saving of about one
fourth the value of the ooru crop whioh
is now allowed to waste in the fields,
besides which the standing stalks in
terfere very seriously with the harvest
ing of the pea crop and render it al
most impossible to put in a wheat crop
as it should be done. In these days of
low prices for all agricultural products,
it is important that we watch these
heretofore neglected details. The
English, the German and the French
farmer sets us an example of
thrift and carefulness in nearly all mi
nor details. The pains taking foreign
farmer wpuld be appalled at the amount
of waste which is allowed on our ordi
nary farms, even in the short space of
one week. They are so aconstomed to
the careful gathering and housing of
of every product that they cannot ua

SAVIN’!} OF I.ATS CHOPS.
All crops of millet, clover, grass, pea
vines should be put under shelter us
soon as possibly Bp:>nj*b grouudpuag
furnish not only nuts, but the tops, if
properly cured, make good forage. The
Irish and sweet potato crops should he
(fathered bslOTo the torts are entirely
killed, and it is important to do this
before the rains begin; for they should
be stored when they are entirely dry.
Assort them as ill v are dug, taking
out all bruised or cut tubers, and spread
out to dry out thoroughly, and do not
make the banka of potatoes whore obey
are Btored, too large.
REPAIRS
on all buildings and stables should be
attended to before the winter aets in,
and, if possible, wh'to wash the latter
Inside and out, after giving them a
thorough cleaning. Good pastures and
good feed aro essential to the proper
keeping of live stock; but this food
will not make a profitable return If the
auimais are exposed in cold mid wet
seasons House them comfortably, and
thus get a lull return in beef or milk,
for the capital invested iu thosa animal
machines.
GATHER UP AM, TOOLS.
Gather up all tools and implements,
clean and after oiling the working
parts, put under shelter until some op
portune rainy season when they can he
thoroughly repaired and put In condi
tion for the coming year’s work.
TURNING UNDER PEA VINES.
To get the full value of a pia crop,
the best plan is to out and cure for hay,
or store in the silo for ensilage, tlisn
turn under the stuoblo. But as we
have had inquiries as to the best time
for turning under the entire crop, we
would advise that this tie done after
the vines are fully matured. In this
condition they decompose more slowly
and are loss leached away by the win
ter rains. The younger vines are very
succulent, deoay more rapidly, and
thero is more aceidity from their de
composition. Where the entire crop is
turned under, a top dressing of lime
applied after this is done will bo found
very useful in correcting aoidity; it will
also cause to be formed o*rtain ohornl
cal compounds in the soil, which will
be of valuable assistance in furnishing
plant food for another crop.
