Meeting of tlio
lliiwnril Agricultural flub.
-['he meeting of tlio club In May
c#m eotr at .Judge.). B. Jones’ with ,
a full attendance.
rj’| u . distinguished horticulturist, |
Mr. P. .J. Bcrcknmns, by invitation,
IIie t with the club.
[ir. (J. !!. Powell was called to the
chair.
Mr. <1. \V. Jones, secretary, then
introduced the following subject:
“What rotation of crops is necessary
to best preserve our soils to profit
able production under our peculiar
sVs tem of agriculture?”
Mr. P. S. Jones, who was appoint-
,,,1 to open the discussion, began
with the following remarks: “I
have bad little experience in the
rotation of crops, but will give you
my father’s plan, which I have
adopted and have found it a good
one. He planted land from one to
two years in cptton, rotated to corn
one year, then rested—that is, let
grow to weeds or sowed in peas. J
am impressed with the field pea as
an improver of soil.”
Mr. Rufus Cross thought rotation
necessary, but said he had little ex
perience.
Mr. T. Belt said he had planted
land consecutively in cotton until
it failed so badly he was compelled
to change.
Judge J. B. Jones did not believe
there was any such thing as rest
with bind, and did not think it was
required, all that he considered
necessary was to feed the land such
food as the crops needed, and it
could then he cultivated for an in
definite length of time. He gave
illustrations of land in the old world
and such as had come under his
own observation that had been
planted in the same crops for many
years without, deterioration. He
further thought in rotating crops,
surface-feeding plants should follow
deep-feeding, tap-raised plants, and
vice versa.
Mr. J. 13. Jones, Jr., gave his ex
perience with a piece of land he
had been trying to improve, by
planting in cow peas and rye, and
said lie thought it had gained in fer
tility under the treatment.
Mr. F. W. Jones did not believe the
lands of the South could he kept
to their original fertility under the
present system of agriculture. The
constant plowing and hoeing allow
ed too much leaching and washing,
and the lands should he planted in
grasses and such crops as did not
require the constant turning and
stirring of the soil. It is a well
known fact if you cut a road
through a forest and travel it for
some time, then cut down the piece
of land and plant it, the poor spot
where the road was will he visible
for years.
Mr. P. S. Jones: And when a ne
gro makes a path across the field,
they seem to poison the ground.
Mr. F, S. Jones: As to the rota
tion, 1 think such crops should fol
low each other as they require dif
ferent elements furnished by the
soil. As an illustration, wheat
should follow clover or peas, be
cause these two plants accumulate
nitrogen in the soil, the element the
wheat so much needs.
Mr. Robert Raw did not think
land required so much change of
crops us a constant supply of man
ure, and said he had been planting
a piece of land in cotton for several
years consecutively, with a constant
increase in yield, and lie hoped to
get a larger crop from the land this
year than oyer before.
Mr. Roberson said he had never
found the cow poa to do well plant
ed after cotton.
Mr. 1*. J. Berekmans, being called
upon, gave a very highly entertain
ing and Instructive lecture upon the
subject, under tlio following head-
Diffusion of plants, often slow, de
pends upon climatic changes,
Dominantspecles cease to he dom
inant on encountering still more
dominant species.
Struggle for existence. Severe
competition. Dependence of one
species upon another.
Periodical destruction of plants
as tin offer to the principle of geo
metrical increase.
Mutual dependence of plants to
propagate species.
Kotution the consequence of com
petition in tlio struggle for exis
tence.
Selection of species. Under this
'lead ho spoke of the following as
being particularly adapted to our
wants; Lucerne, cow peas,
da grass and veclit.
in the afternoon, our chairman,
Df- B. Bowell, gave us a talk on
Pie farming interest generally.
Mr. J. J. Davis then introduced
hie following resolutions, which
Were unanimously adopted:
Barely is a community so shocked
i'.v an unexpected event as this was
•"i the morning ot the 80th of
night. Retiring to bed at the usual
hour and in health, apparently bet
ter than usual, his wife was
awakened by his heavy and diill-
eult breathing, and at once called
Hut family, hilt he had almost ceased
to breathe before the first one in the
house could reach his bedside. It
was truly the midnight summons
“ Behold the bridegroom cometh!”
but it found his lamp trimmed and
burning.
It is not only duo to the memory
of the dead that the activity of his
life which made him useful should
ho recorded, hut it is more import
ant to the living that his acts should
be preserved to memory for their
example and encouragement. Dr.
Jones was such a man, as in any
community, city or country, how
ever intelligent and refined in man
ner and education, would he promi
nent and influential. lie filled, with
ease and dignity to himself and profit
fit to society, every position that in
clination or duty called him'to oc
cupy. He was appointed to fill sev
eral public positions of great re
sponsibility, yet he sought not the
walks of public life, preferring
quietly to fill the place and accom
plish the more important duties of
life in the capacity of a private citi
zen.
The wave of financial Hi in which
swept over the country and demol
ished the substantial accumulations
of several generations, discourag
ing settled industries,- and in a
measure forbidding new ones,
wrecked his own. Amidst the de
solation of his business, and feeling
all the keeness of disappointment
to which a sensative nature is sus
ceptible, he nev„er for a moment
succumbed to the shock or listened
to the suggestions of inaction, hut
bravely determined to rebuild on
the ruins around him. Sagaciously
estimating the chances and neces
sity of a departure from tho “old
ways,” he set his plans, vigorously,
to establish a new enterprise,
which, though well known in sever
al sections of the country was an
untried one in the old cotton belt.
Tho conception to he developed
had the merit of full diversification
of products and consisted of a cur
tailment of the cotton crop and the
substitution to the same or greater
extent of the growing of fruits and
seeds, both field and garden, best
adapted to our Southern climate—
not overlooking that other feature
of successful farming, the cultiva
tion of such grasses and forage
crops as are essential to stock rais
ing.
Such was his combination and
scheme in which he was a pioneer
in the South. In it he had pledged
his judgment and periled his pi os-
pact of gain. He lived to see the
“bow of promise” span his work,
and it was, perhaps, the draft and
strain of this new enterprise upon
his mind and heart that snapped
life’s cord so suddenly and closed
an existence so full of personal en
ergy and promise of benefit, not
alone in our immediate community,
but in distant ones.
ile was an earnest friend of this
club, was one of its original mem
bers before the war, and after its
suspension, during that disastrous
period, ho was among the first to
call for its revival; only a few
months, however, did it survive
amidst the confused condition of
our labor and the despondent state
of the agricultural class. Again,
about two years ago, by an earnest
appeal to the intelligent farmers of
our neighborhood lie was mainly
instrumental in setting it upon its
feet the third time. It is, therefore,
in sadness we contemplate the
death of our friend, and it is by this
club
Resolved, That while our entire
county and community have lost
one of its most intelligent and use
ful citizens, this club lias sustained
in his death an Irreparable loss.
Resolved, That we tender our sin
cere sympathy to his greatly atllict-
eil widow and children in this heavy
calamity which has befallen them.
Resolved, That his name be en
tered upon a blank leaf in tho min
utes of this club, and that these re
solutions he recorded and a copy of
them furnished his family. .
Messrs. J, J. Davis, It. H. Burton
and Robert Law wore appointed a
committee on selection of subject
for next meeting, and returned with
the following: "What price can wo

farms remunerative at tlio present
A IIiislintiil'H Crime.
Prom till! Chattanooga, Tonn., Times.
Rose \Verrick,a brutal scoundrel,
who resides with his family, just
across the Georgia state line, eight
miles from the city, attempted to
murder his wife Tuesday night by
cutting her throat with a razor, and
lie was only prevented by the su
perhuman strength which came to
the woman, thereby enabling her to
escape.
Werrick had been on a spree for
several days, and when lie went
home Tuesday night was almost on
tlio verge ot delirium tremens.
When he entered the house his wife
was engagetl in preparing supper
and spoke kindly to her UrunkQp
husband, and uttered not a word of
reproach for his continued drunk.
Ho had been seated hut a few mo
ments when lie arose, and procuring
a razor, went to where his wife was
standing. He put his arm around
his wife’s neck as if to caress her,
anil suddenly, without a moment’s
warning, lie drew the razor across
her throat. The keen edge ot the
terrible weapon sank deep into her
neck and the inhuman man was in
tlie act of inflicting another gash,
when Mrs. Werrick managed to
escape from his clutches and ran
screaming from the house with the
blood streaming from her throat.
Her cries for assistance brought
several persons to her aid, anil the
poor woman was moved to the
house of a neighbor. When the men
returned to Werrick’s house they
found him heating his ten-year-old
son in the most brutal manner. The
little fellow was quickly rescued
and Werrick was securely hound
with ropes. A physician was sum
moned and dressed Mrs. Werrick’s
injuries. Fortunately neither the
jugular vein or windpipe were in
jured. She will recover. Her hus
band was lodged in jail.

them to take him into the house
and to wash the blood out ot the

An liiciiloiit mi llog Mountain,
Gwinnett Herald.
A rather amusing incident occur
red recently in Hog mountain dis
trict. A gentleman who is in the hab
it of walking in his sleep had a
dream. He dreamed that he,saw a
fine covy of partridges running
along toward an old house and then
go in. Thinking tliis a good oppor
tunity to capture them, he quietly
slipped along until lie got to the
door, when lie suddenly jumped in
side and closed the door. What
was ids astonishment to discover a
mad dog in there, which rushed at
him at once. His only chance of
escape was to jump through the
window, and through he went with
a bound. When he awoke he was
lying outside of the house on the
ground, having jumped through a
window in ids bedroom and carried
the sash with him. He was badly
bruised and ids leg severly cut by
the glass as lie broke through.
Kuuseil from Sloi*i> liy Vitriol.
Baltimore, June 5.—Joseph Ro
senthal attempted to murder Louis
Goldstein yesterday morning by
pouring vitriol in ids ear. The two
men, who have been enemies for
some time, had a fight recently, in
which Rosenthal was worsted. He
declared that lie would have his re
venge. Both men, who are Poles,
boarded in tlie same house, their
rooms being on the same floor.
About two o’clock the inmates of
the house wore alarmed by Gold
stein’s shrieks. They found him
rushing up and down the floor with
the side of Ids face badly burned.
While he was asleep, he said, Ro
senthal crept into his room and
poured tho vitriol into ids ear. Re
sent lull denied the accusation, but
as ids lingers are burned at tlio
ends, there is thought to he little
doubt that he has been handling
tlio deadly stuff. His victim is ly
ing in a critical condition, suffering
the most excruciating pain. Roson-
tiial inis been arrested.

Washington letter In Savannah News.
General IT. Clay Armstrong, con
sul-general to Brazil, arrived in
tliis city to-day on ids way to ids
home in Alabama. He is on a
sixty days’ leave of absence from
ids [lost, and lias come to look after
some private business. In conver
sation with a News correspondent he
gave an interesting account of the
condition of tlio colony of Southern
ers who went to Brazil just after
the late war. “ These people,” said
Gen. Armstrong, “left tlio United
States immediately after hostilities
ceased. They believed that the
South could not recover from the
effects of the iron heel of the war,
and that the people who participat
ed in the war would never have
any show in tho reconstructed
Union. They accordingly gathered
together their household goods and
departed.
“I found them situated 400 miles
from Rio Janeiro in the back coun
try. They have a tract about
fifteen miles square. Colonel W.
II. Norris, who was quite a promi
nent man in Alabama, and who at
one time was a member of the gen
eral assembly, is one of the leading
men of the colony. I also met Dr.
C. (J. Crisp, a very accomplished
man from Tennessee. I explained
to some of the leading men of the
colony that they had, in my opin
ion, made a mistake in leaving the
United States. They seemed quite
well contented, howeyer, and said
they would probably remain. There
are now about 500 people all toiil in
tho colony.”
“Do they hold slaves?”
“Some of them do. I advised
them to get rid of their slaves, how
ever, and told them that it is a relic
of barbarism that even in Brazil
will soon pass away. I explained
how the United States had advanc
ed since-the war, and they were
very much astonished when I told
them that 1 would fight before I
would permit slavery to be again
established in my own state.”
“What are theso people mostly
engaged in?”
“They are making a good deal of
money out of raising watermelons.
These are very large and exceed
ingly good. Tho Brazilians had
never raised any, hut buy them
readily and are very fond of them.
The native population do little ex
cept raise coffee. It is hard to get
them to undertake anything else.
“The Americans are engaged also
in the production of cotton, anil this
finds a ready market, as tlio mills
that have been started in the em
pire prefer it to any other. They
are, in a general way, quite pros
perous, hut they .need schools, I
shall take hack some school teach
ers with me if possible.”
- “Do the younger generation speak
good English.”
“Well, it is getting rather inferior
and somewhat mixed. They need
schools worse than anything else.
The older members of the colony
take some papers from the United
States, and I found that they had
kept a general run of what was go
ing on there. They seem to he
proud that they are Americans, and
only in one or two instances have
they become naturalized to the
Brazilian empire.”
“Has tho Brazilian empire yet
large tracts of uninhabited lands?”
“Millions of acres with nothing hut
monkeys and parrots upon it. At
the request of the minister of public
lands I shall furnish them our plan
of- conducting tho public land busi
ness.”

SAMI'El, DUNLAP, OF ATLANTA, CIA.
The excellent picture wo present at the head
of this column, Is of a man who Is ns well
and favorably known In hts capacity as a
travelling man or "drummer” as any one
man In the United States.
Mr. Dunlap said in conversation recently:
“At out four years ago I had a severe attack
of rheumatism, which completely disabled
me for a time, and which developed Into
what Is commonnly called ‘chronic,’ attack
ing me when least expected, and laying me
up entirely; incapacitating mo for any kind
ot business, and causing mo ns much trouble
In a day ns should be crowded in a lifetime.
After ono if my most severe attacks, and
when I had Just got able to hobble around, I
met Mr. J. M. Hunnicutt, an old friend, and
he said lie could make a remedy that would
cure me, and by gracious, ho did. I took two
bottles of hts stuff', prepared from roots and
herbs, and i have never had a twinge of rheu
matism since. The medicine was not pre
pared for sale at that time, but was manufac
tured by Mr. Hunnicutt for his friends.
About six months ugo It was determined to
place it upon tto market, and a Arm was or-
nntzed for that purpose; Two weeks ugo, in
ho midst of my suffering, I noted In one of
their advertisements that it was good for kid
ney troubles also. I knew It would cure rheu
matism, and I bought a half a dozen bottles
at once and determined to give -It a fair show
at a kidney disease of long standing. It may
seem extravagant, hut the llrst day’s use gave
me relief, and before I hud completed taking
one bottle my disagreeable symptoms hud
entirely disappeared. I have used two bot
tles up to this time, and I have not felt a trace
of my disease for a week ”
J. M. Hunnicutt & Co., the manufacturers
of Hunnleutt’s Rheumatic Cure, Atlanta,Ga.,
assure us that that their medicine Is oil sale
at the low price of $1.00a bottle, at all reputa
ble druggists and can be procured at whole
sale from jobbing druggists everywhere.

London, Juno 5.—The Standard,
in discussing (lie fisheries dispute,
says: “We have no doubt that Sec
retary Bayard will avoid precipi
tate and offensive action relating to
the fisheries controversy. Certainly
there is no desire In London, and
wo beliovo none in Washington, to
have tlio two interested nations in
volved in a quarrel over a trifling
dispute between tho Atlantic fisher
men. However, while the treaty
of 1818 remains in force, tlio Canad
ians have a perfect right to de
mand Its observance, it is not to
be supposed that the Canadians will
yield valuable rights without some
equivalent. Concessions on both
sides nro necessary. The matter
does not concern England directly,
but wo are bound to show firmness
in our decision. Tlio Canadians
look to us for support and they
ought to receive it. We would ra
ther tlio dispute had not occurred,
but as it lias arisen wo cannot hol[
ourselves. Anything would be hut-
tor than loading a colony to believe
that it cannot rely on Groat
Britain."
It is said that Walter Rooks, of
Walton county, recently found a
boo troo from which lie obtained
over 100 pounds of good honey.
Georgia lias a post office named
“Talking Rock,” which acquired its
title in the following manner:
Some one in the vicinity found a
large stone, upon which was painted
the words, “Turn me over.” It re
quired great strength to accomplish
tliis, and when it was done tlio man
was confronted with a legend on tho
other side of tlio stone, “Now turn
me hack and let me fool some one
else.”
Tlio Augusta Neu's of Tuesday
says: “Yesterday was a Hull Run
for tho liquor folks in North
Carolina. The Prohibitionists car
ried Raleigh, tlio capital of tlio
state, and the towns of Oxford,
Kingston, Henderson, Warrenton,
Louisburg, Winston, Salem, Apex,
Beaufort, Reidsvillo, Holly Springs,
Moreheud City, Asheville, Golds
boro, Littleton and Charlotte.
On Sunday evening Mr. A. J.
Pound, of Milledgeville, was found
sitting in front of tho residence of
liis son, J. B. Pound, stone dead,
lie had a short time before eaten a
hearty suppet and was thought to
lie in ids usual health.

Geo. P. Pickering, 922 Fenwick
street, Augusta, attempted to kill
himself Saturday night. Seated by
liis wife on the back steps of his
house, he said, “I am tired of living,”
put a pistol to his breast and fired
twice in rapid succession. Before
he was able to shoot the third time
liis wife had wrested the pistol
from him. Both shots took effect
in tho left breast, over the nipple.
After examination one of the baits
was found to have ranged to the
back near the shoulder; the other
had penetrated through the lung,
and will doubtless be the fatal one.
Mr. Pickering called his wife to his
bedside, threw his arms around her
neck, and said : “ I love you dearly.
You are not the cuuse, but I don’t
want to live any longer. I wish I
could have used tho five barrels.”
Mr. Pickering has a wife and four
children, and has always been look
ed upon as an industrious and good
citizen. The strange desire to kill
himself is unaccountable. He will
die.
The mayor and council of Dahlon-
ega publish the following curd: “It
lias reached our knowledge that the
Rev. Mr. Thomas, in a sermon
preached last Sunday at the Metho
dist church, made the statement
that there is a barroom running
openly in the town of Dahlonega,
and that tlio mayor and council
know of tho existence of said bar
room, and, contrary to their avowed
declarations, and in violation of
their oatli of office, had taken no
measures to suppress the same.
We deem it unnecessary to do more
than to deny absolutely every state
ment made by him touching any
knowledge on our part of the exist
ence of such a place as described.
Wo would further state that as the
charge was made publicly, we de
mand of its author to furnish to tlio
public cither through tlio columns
of your paper or in the pulpit of the
Methodist church tlio name or
names of the party or parties en
gaged in tlio illicit traffic of liquor
with proof to convict.”
Tho biggest immersion that had
been in Atlanta for many a day
took place Sunday afternoon within
the city limits at Lynch’s quarry.
Twenty-five men and eighteen wo
men were baptised. The women
were all clad in white. Among tho
neophytes was Bill Thurmond, tho
Marietta street saloon keeper, who
some months ago shot a man. The
man was thought to be fatally In
jured but recovered, and Thurman,
who had escaped arrest, gave him
self up. The case was compromised.
Thurmond has been pretty wild
over since then. Ills Immersion
created somewhat of a sensation,
'l'lio Immersion to-day was the re
sult of a three weeks’ revival by the
Revs. Picket, of ('anion, Ga., and
Higdon, of Alabama. Fully 8,000
people witnessed tho ceremonies,
tlio largest ever known to attend
such an occasion here.
