He was a little over 80 years old, has never married, but had accumulated an estate of from $10,000 to $15,000, whioh, on account of his secluded life and close manner of dealing with people, nobody can correctly estimate.

A MERRY MAKERS. riiig Will be the Largest Free Exercises Ever Given in Augusta. The greatest thing for the benefit of Augusta and the Savannah river valley is the Savannah River Yal ley Convention which wii! be held in this city ou April 20lh during Merry Makers’ week. The leading citizens of Richmond county realizing the necessity of improving the Savannah river channel have subscribed sufficient ly to entertain a convention of rep ■•esentative citizens of the counties through which the river ruus Georgia and South Carolina and have invited quite a large number of these citizens to meet with them on the above mentioned date whei. a permanenfSavannah River lm provement J ssociation will be or ganized aud the good work will commence immediately and will be rapidly pushed. It ta true, $250,000 have been ap propriated for lire improvement ol this river, but this money is to be expended at about $50,000 yearly, in this way effecting absolutely no good. What is needed is for $250,- 000 to be spent as last as the work can be properly done and then spend $50,000 annually in repairs. If the Savannah river, which is the seventh longest in the United States, should be put in such con- Jiuon as to allow large river steam ers to piy her waters between here aud Sayannah, the railroads would necessarily reduce their rates even it ttie boats were not being run, the- ciiannel would be there. The rail roads are fast gaining a monopoly iu this section ot the country and when they do gain their goai why what will become of the small mer chants? The prospects for the fu ture are very grievous in (his re spect and ail that is necessary to check them is the endorsement by the people of this organization. No -joney is asked for. All that is de sired is your endorsement of this move and your presence at the con vention. At tbe first meeting of the Association the officers will be elected and a committee chosen to go before congress and ask lor our rights. While the citizens of Augusta are agitating this cause, It should be clearly understood that the benefits derived are mutual and the small est town iu the (Savannah river val ley wiii be benefited proportional ly as wiii Augusta and Augustaus. A large number of delegates for this convention will be invited but let all those interested in this move come. Railroad rates will be unus ually low as the convention will be held during Merry Maker’s week when every one within many miles of Augusta will be present. No body of men were ever buster than are the Merry Makers. Every possible want or desire of the peo ple will be granted and not a stone will be unturned lor the pleasure ol ho thousands of visitors that will flock into Augusta that week. The largest crowd that was ever seen in Augusta is looked for on thio oc casion aud well they might come tor never before has such a show been given in tbe history of the South. The attractions this year are beyond comparison. Neither pains nor money will be spared to make the attractions superb. Industrial Day. The following letter was receiv ed : “735 Broad Street, Augusta, Ga., March loth, 1‘JUO.—To the Merry Makers Association—Gentlemen: “By request of your committee ot conlerence with the trades unions (Augusta Federation of Trades), we Deg to make the following: “The trades unions of Augusta right loyally endorse the action ot the Merry Makers’ Association is setting apart one day as “Industrial Day,” and cheerfully pledge them selves to participate in the parade with banners, flags and badges, and urge upon their friends to assist in making the day worthy of the occa sion: and request that your honora ble body have that day declared a noliday among tne manufactures ol Augusta aud invite and specially request them to represent their va rious callings on floats, illustrating aud teaching objectively the source of Augusta’s wealth, to-wit: “In dustry.” (Signed), “Andrew Mul- cay, Chairman of Committee of Au gusta Federation of Trades.” ” This means that every worKing man, woman and child in the vicin ity of Augusta will turn out in the largest parade ever witnessed in the South. The committee from the Merry Makers have met with wonderful success and all the mill authorities have bignifled their intention and desire to let their employees off and many will furnish handsome floats. n _ - ... .

This is one of the great crops of the south, yet it is not raised as much as it ought to be. Persons living in the part of the south where this cane will grow ought to raise it By all means, if it is only a small crop for family use, to make sirup or molasses, it pays in some places to raise this cane, for the stalks sell for 2(5 cents a piece at many of the towns through the coun try. It should be one of the main crops, as the sirup is always iu demand at a good price. As to yielding, it hardly ever fails, aud you do not have your sirup to buy. It is one of the staple articles-for sale at the stores. At the time when it is ripe you will see it for sale at the store at 5 cents per stalk, for it is nice to eat. The cane takes the place of candy and is much better flavor. Many prefer it to candy and other sweets. This will pay a farmer if he is where there are not many raising it. As to the sirup, it turns out much more than the sor ghum and is much nicer. Plaut early in the spring by laying the canes down in the furrows, which are 3)4 feet apart. Cover with the plow or hoe, whichever you please. Keep it clean with the plow and hoe when it comes up. Work it until it is too large to plow. Keep the weeds and grass from taking it, as it is, when it first comes up, a very tender plant. It will not bear much dirt, but plow just as close as you can to it. so as to clean it. You will find that you will have to use the hoe somewhat to keep it clean. Get an evaporator and make your own sirup or molasses and some for your neigh bors when you cannot do anything else, writes a Texas farmer to The Southern Cultivator. By Jeannette H. Walworth We feel quite sure our readers will agree with us in our estimate of this tale, the serial rights of which we have purchased. It will appear in this paper soon. It is without doubt A Remarkably Strong Love Story Commercial Fertilizer anil Potatoes. The Virginia station draws the fol lowing conclusions from experiments with commercial fertilizers for pota toes: First—That potatoes grown without fertilizers contain the greatest amount of dry matter. The addition of fer tilizers tends to diminish the dry mat ter, and also as the quantity of fer tilizer used is increased the amount of dry matter is diminished. Second.—Potatoes grown where sul phate of potash was used contain more dry matter than those where muriate was used. Third.—The ash .is not affected to any very appreciable extent. Fertili zers tend slightly to increase it. Fourth.—Very little effect is produced on the starch by fertilizers, their tend ency being to increase rather than to diminish it. Fifth—Potatoes grown with muriate of potash contain less dry matter but slightly more starch than those grown with sulphate of potash. Sixth.—Neither the kind nor amount of fertilizer has any appreciable effect on the percentage of nitrogen, phos phoric acid and potash contained in potatoes. Seventh.—The percentage of chlorine is considerably increased when muriate of potash is used, aud the more muri ate used the higher the percentage of chlorine. Missouri Orchards. Following is in substance advice from the president of the Missouri Horti cultural society, given at a recent in stitute: The proper selection of varie ties is very important. The Ben Davis is the leading commercial apple for this section. Eighty per cent may be planted of this. The remaining 20 per cent may be divided between the Jonathan, Winesap, Missouri Pippin and Gano. Head the trees quite low and prune sparingly. The eastern practice of giving the tree an open head will be fatal here. Our bright sunshine and hot summers will sun- scald the limbs. Tea Growing to the Fore Again. The problem of raising tea in the southern part of the United States has been discussed for many years. The growing of tea on the Piuehurst es tate at Summerville, S. C., began about ten years ago, and tfte crop for the season of 1899 amounted to nearly 3,000 pounds. Now over 50 acres are planted- in tea. When the plants ar rive at full bearing, the yield should be at least 10,000 pounds. Dr. Shep ard, who is in charge of the experi ments at Piuehurst, has prepared a re port for the department of agriculture. The report states that, from the re sults obtained on the Piuehurst planta tion. it seems probable that the culti vation of tea can be made profitable in tbe warmer portions of tlie United States in two ways. One is by estab lishing a plantation with capital suffi cient to carry the work to a point where the product can be offered ou equal terms with teas holding an es tablished place in the markets of the United States. The other is to grow tea for home use in the farm garden. Iu either ease tea growing can be un dertaken safely only where the tem perature rarely goes below zero and where a liberal supply of water can be depended upon. Irrigation should, where possible, be provided for in growing tea. Handling Corn Fodder. No other grain is so well adapted to the requirements of the cattle feeder as cheap corn, and for roughness there are few feeds equal to corn fodder. A Kansas man says in the Ohio Farmer that in preparing the corn crop for feeding cattle the common small grain thrasher has been used with good suc- FEED RACK FOR SHREDDED FODDER. cess. The shredded fodder as it comes from the machine is run directly into a pen or rack right in the feed yard and large enough, as a rule, to hold at least a day’s thrashing, say 1G by 24 or 1G by 32 feet. A sort of manger is made around the rack, into which the fodder passes through an opening at the bottom of the rack, as illustrated. Horrible Criin -i In Carolina. Jefferson, S. C., March hi.—The half charred remains of CUssie Brown, a woman of bad repnts, have been found in the woods. There was evi dence that she had been murdered. Harvey Jackson, John Jacason, J. T. Steen and Ben Jackson, all white men, are in jail as snspects. Brief Jlentlon. A Louisiana truck grower says green onions or shallots, fall planted on high ly enriched ground, will be found re munerative. Tbe greatest expense is bunching the crop. An early seed bed for tobacco should be situated on lands sloping from north to south, protected on the uorth by for ests aud open on the south to let in the midday sun. It is safer to protect these early beds by covering them with cheesecloth stretched on frames made around and over tbe beds. It has been suggested that in saving seed corn tbe selected ear be neither husked uor separated from the stalk on which it grew, but the stalk and the unhusked ear be bung up iu a dry place until the planting season shall have come round. The claim is that seed so kept has greater vitality and produces more vigorous plants. A great claim made for Angora goats is not only that they will live and flourish where sheep would starve, but they will browse and clear up worth less brush land which would otherwise remain untilled for years. “Farmers, grow you? own seed and select them with care. Many men have grown rich by doing this. Young man, are you bunting a profitable posi tion? Then get a farm and make it a seed farm. There are money, pleasure and independence along this line,” ad vises The Southern Cultivator. Owing to the comparatively Inexpen sive character of tbe materials used in damp smudge fires they seem the best adapted for common use in frost pro tection for orchards, vineyards and gardens.
