Tjt was pnbljoly talked all over Doea'.ur 1

JVVir Era sent a reporter to Pierceville to j
fully investigate the Tucker matter. The
Tuckers arc prominent people sml are all
well-to-do farmers. The Rev. William
Tucker, subject of all i iie talk, was pleased
to allow us an interview. Mr. Tucker
looked well and healthy, although he is
seventy-five years old, ami forty years ago
lie began preaching in the faith of the Free..
Baptists. This is his story as lie told the
Reporter:
“ I was born and reared on * farm and Ik*- '

FOR MADISON" COUNTY.

ANSWERS
TO INQUIRIES
Commissioner Nesbitt’s Ques
tion Box For the Month.
VALUABLE INFORMATION GIVEN
Harrowing; Oats to linomn Up Soil,
Question. —I have a Hold, of volunteer
oats, very thick, would it do auy good
to run tlironKU them with a cutaway
harrow to loosen up the soil? if yes,
when? 1 want to manure rheui with
acid phosphate and cottonseed meal,
what proportion of each shall I use?
Should I mix auy potash with the meat
uuil acid?
Answer —I would advise against us
ing a cutaway harrow on your o its. us I
think it would cut them up too much.
It would be an advantage to the oats to
cross and recross them with a piaiu
smoothing or straight tooth harrow,
which would loosen the soil to gome ex
tent and slightly thin out the oats,
which would probably benefit them. Do
this as soon as the ground is sufficiently
dry.
A liberal top dressing of cottonseed
meal, say 300 pounds to the acre, applied
just before harrowing, would probably
insure you a good yield of oats. As,
however, you doubtless expect to follow
your oat crop with peas, I suggest that
you add 160 pounds of phosphoric acid
and 60 pounds of kainit to the cotton
seed meal. Iu that case you might ex
pectin. fine pea crop after taking off the
oats without auy further fertilizing.; —
State Agricultural Department.
Tlio Kind of Photphorio Acid Kent Suited
to Cotton.
Question. —Does it make auy differ
ence what kind of phosphoric acid is
used for cotton, or are all equally good?
Answer.— The value of phosphoric
acid for cotton is iu proportion to its
solubility; hence acid phosphates which
run high iu soluble phosphoric acid
should be preferred. lusoluble phos
phoric acid, such as is found iu marl,
floats, slag, etc., are of little direct
value to the crop, though they may ben
efit the laud for future crops- These,
to be profitable, should be applied to
leguminous crops, aud wlieu tho stubblo
and roots of these crops are turned un
der aud tho land is then planted in oot
ton, tho indirect value of the murl,
floats or slag, as the case may be, be
comes at once apparent iu the increased
yield of the cotton.—Stat3 Agricultural
Department.
Time to Apply Ferllllters For Cotton.
Question. —If I should decide to fer
tile t my cotton vory heavily will it bo
best to apply all the fertilizer at one
time or at uiffereut periods, say a part
at planting, a second application at tho
first plowing, and auotlior later on?
Answer. —The answer to your ques
tion depends very much ou the kind of
fertilizer you will use. If the elements
are readily available aud highly ammo
niated we have found that to divide a
large amount into two aud eveu three
parts and apply at different periods of
criSp development has a marked effect
for good. But in the slower actiug for
mulas it is more profitable to make one
application at time of planting, dividing
it between the planting aud the two ad
joining furrows.—State Agricultural
Department.
Kuinlt For Kuflt In Cotton.
Question*. —Is kaiuit a certain pre
ventive tor rust in cotton ? On some id
my land the cotton rusts badly, bur. I
have not found that kainit prevents it.
I thought perhaps there was some par
ticular way ot applying it, as I have
seen it very highly recommended.
Answer. —Kaiuit has been recom
mended as a specific for blight or rast
in cotton, but further experiment is re
quired to settle this as an undisputed
fact. It is best always to appiy it in
connection with the other two elements,
nitrogen and phosphoric acid, anti seems
to have the best effect when used in
conjunction with cottonseed or cotton
seed meal rather than other forms <>.’
nitrogenous manures. —otatu Agriuui
tmal Department
Btirnyanl Manure Ear Cotton.
Question*. — Is barnyard maiinre a
good fertilizer for cotton ? I used it
last year, but the results did not come
up to my expectations.
Answee.—We have found that barn
yard manure acts more effactnally for
cotfoti, when used as a soil improver
rather than a direct fertilizer. If barn
yard manure is to be used, it is more
profitable to compost it some time pre
vious to its application to the land, com
bining with it acid phosphate and pot*
•sh iu seme form. These not only have
* specific value, but by certain chemi
cal combinations with the elements iu
the manure render it more valuable
than when in its natural condition.
This composting may bo done directly
in the drill and a list thrown on it to
prevent the escape of ammonia, but

Presentments
Of the Grand Jury at the
March Ter.a 1897 of Mad
ison Superior Court.
We tlip Grand Jury for the Mr’li
Term 1897, of the Superior court
of Madison county, do make the
following gen oral presentments:
We reccomniend that the follow
ing he appointed Notaries PuLlie
in their respective districts:
Brookline, 205th Dist, Arthur B
Long.
Fork, 203rd. District, Jolm D
Wynn.
Pocataligo, 202nd. District. RT
McGinnis.
Danielsyille. 204th. District, T
A Grimes.
We recommend that Joseph J
Ilix, C W Power, A W Mathews
and-the Ordinary, investigate the
practical workings of pauper farms
in adjoining counties, and make a
a written report to the next grand
jury.
We find the public roads m thoir
usual bad condition. Wo recom
mend that the Commissioners on*
force the road laws, especially
that they deal promptly and vigors
ously with parties who encroach on
public roads by cultivating partH
sf same, that they cau.-e effective'
drainage to be provided, and loose
recks to be removed
We reccomniend that commisss
ioners require 1q be worked and
put in good, condition the roatLre
cently made public, leading from
Dr. Tjiompson’a re-idet.ee to Cos
mer/
We reccommend that members
of the Board of Education, before
entering upon then duties, bo
required to stand a written exami
nation, and to make such an aver
age t’s would entitle them to a 3rd
grade lieenso.
We find the jail as well kept as
such a jail can be kept. Lime is
freely used and every precaution ;
taken to insure cleanliness and j
promote health- We find it very I
deficient in light and ventilation, i
I f is too small—consisting of two
dungeons about 12 feet square, and
a hall. Into this small space it is
sometimes nect essary to crowd 20
human beings. We believe that
confinement in this jail cannot
tail to impare health and endanger
lives. Prisoners are kept in jail
sometimes t<> punish, sometimes
merely to detain—n'ver to torture.
1 hey are ent itied to humane treat
ment- It is cruel and biirberous
to confine them in close dark duns
geons where scarcely any light anti
fresh air can penetrate, and accu
mulated stench renders the
atmosphere noxious and loathso me.
We do not believe it practicable to
remedy the.defects of the present
jail. We reccommend that anew
jail be built, and that a direct tax
be levjed for that purpose.
We find Ihe court house old,
dingy, too small, ill arranged.
Madison county has outgrown it.
It is a cause of shame to every
progressive citizen. We need a
new courthouse. We hope to see
one built as soon as the financial
condition of the county will permit.
Having recommended anew jail
we do not think best to reccommend
anew court 1 ouse at this time.
We have examined books of
County School Commissioner, and
find them neatly, accurately keplj’
Statement F6r I896:
Bal from 1895 $18.02

Paid • teachers $5997.77

Expenses in above statement
include per diem paid to members
of the Board of Education for ’95
and '96; per diem of County School
Commissioner and of Expert,
nni<>nnts for office rent, postage
and other incidentals.
We find the books of the Ole'k,
Ordinary, Sheriff, Notaries Public
and Justices of the Peace to be
neat'y and correctly kept.
We find that the new book for
tlio county Treasurer has not been
received. That officer has been
forced to keep his accounts on
memorandums. We find them
correctly kept.
TljeCle .kof Superior Court and
the Ordinary have presented affida
vits showing that, they have no
money, nor have had any money,
belonging to either the Stale or
County since the last torm of this
court.
We find that, by an error mar e
by Mr. Thomas W Long, County
Treasurer at that time, between
March anJTSeptember terms 1890
of this court, and not detected by
Grand Jury for the September
term, Mr. Long was not given
credit tor (*62,97) Sixty-two
W<-100 Dollars, to to which he is
justly entitled. We roccommend
that this amount he refunded. We
find that his books, with this
exception, were accurately kept.
We tender thanks to his Honor
Judge Seaborn Reese for hie able
charge, and to our Solicitor Robt
II Lewis, for his prompt, efficient
and courteous assistance.
We reccommend that these pre
