Wife Murderer’s Pray
ers Annoy Prisoners
in Atlanta Jail
Thoroughly repentant, of his
bloody deed, uml with his spirits
in a pronounced state of gloom and
despondency, F. M. Alains, the
Nownuti wife slayer, w ho is held
prisoner in the Tower for sate
keeping, constantly pleads for Di
vine forgiveness, and declares, in
despairing tones, when he is for
given he wants to die.
The prisoner has requested Jail
er Fain to remove him from the
other prisoners and place him in
solitary confinement that lie may
1 letter atone for his crime. He
believes he will receive forgive
ness quicker if permitted to en
velop himself in perfect solitude.
This has not boon done, however,
as it is feared that, in his present
condition, Alums might do harm
to himself in a moment of despair
and frenzy.
Alains spends practically the
whole of hiH time in reading the
Bible and in prayer. He prays
aloud, giving vent to his feelings
of remorse in long and continued
supplications for mercy from on
high. This praying is said to
have reached such an extent ns to
annoy the other prisoners, con
fined in the vicinity of Alums’
cell, and formal complaint bus
been registered with the jail :ui-
thorit ies.—Atlanta News.

Growinq Early Cabbage.
The writer of this article is the origi
nator of the cabbage growing industry
on the Carolina Coast. I grew my first
cabbage for market iu the year 1H68.
From a beginning of one-half acre, the
bnsiness has increased nntil at the pfea-
ont time there are over 4,000 acres of
cabbage grown eacli season in this ter
ritory. To grow a successful crop the
first and most iin[>orttiut thing is to se-
core plants that are grown from high
grade send, as no amouut of care, ferti
lizer or cultivation can make a good
crop, if the plants used are grown from
inferior seed. You cannot judge from i
the apiiearanoe of the plant, as all young
cabbage plants look the same. The bet
ter class of seed growers select their
stock very carefully, removing from the
field all heads of cabbage ttiat are not
perfect. Some seasons they have to cut
out two-thirds of their plants and do not
save their seed from more than one-
third. Seed selected in this way will
cost from $2.50 to $3.00 per pound. Oth
er seed-growers allow their entire crop
of cabbage to make seed, do not use any
care in the selection of seed grown.
These seed will cost you from 40 to 80
cents per pound. The oost of the seed
is two-thirds of the cost of growing cab
bage plants, so you can readily under
stand why a plant grower who pays
$2.r>0 to $3.00 for his Heed cannot sell
yon plants ns oheap as the grower who
buys inferior seed at 40 to 00 cents per
pound.
My thirty-sis years experience has
proven to me that it would pay me
better to use high grade seed at n cost of
$10.00 jht pound, than to use inferior
seed if I could get them free. Those
who do not mnke a regular business of
growing cabbage have Inien iu the habit
of setting out their plants in the months
of February and March, thinking that
the plants do not live if set earlier in the
winter. This is a mistake as a plant set
in December or .January under the prop
er conditions will live just ns well and
head much earlier. The following in
structions will give the proper method
of setting.
The Houtli Carolina sea coast, on ac
count of locality and climatic condi
tions is admirably adapted to the grow
ing of hardy open air plants. The plant
growers sow their seed iu the open fields
in the lute fall from October 20tli to
November 13th. These seed germinate
quickly and make a very rapid growth
for a couple of weeks; by this time the
nights start to get cold. The growth of
the plants is cliecked, and usually about
December 1st to 10th our freezing
weather begins, when the plants stop
growing entirely. The cold weather
lias caused It to become tough and hard,
it Is now iu a dormant condition and
will remain iu this condition until the
latter i>art of February or uutil the
spring weather opens up. While iu this
condition these plants will stand cold
without injury. I have seen my plants
covered with ioe and sleet for several
days, with the thermometer down to 18
and not be injured at all, while the
same plants if they had beeu in a
thirifty growing condition aud full of
sap would have beeu killed by a heavy
freeze or a slight frost. To avoid the
dauger of losing your plants you want
to buy them while they are dormant,the
soouar you do this after December 15th
the better.
If you have it, select a piece ot aark,
medium low, well drained laud, break
it up as thoroughly as yon can, then
pulverize well with a good clod breaker
or harrow. Lay off your rows east aud
west, 30 inches apart,with a bull-tongue
plow. Make up your bed by throwing
two furrows together with a single
horse turn plow. Take your plants mid
set them 20 inches apart on the south
side of the bed, fur enough down, that
the top of the bed will be above tlie
plant, tliis is done to keep the north and
northwest winds from twisting and
breaking the small plants. Be sure to
set the plants welt down iu the soil, aud
see that the entire stem up to the first
leaves is iu tlie groond. Tlie earth
should be well packed around the plant,
it should be packed so firm, that if you
take your plant by tlie leaf aud pull the
leaves would break off before the plant
would pull out. It is understood that
you have used plants that are in a dor
mant condition. These plants should
not lie fertilized at all, until abont two
weeks before the regular spring weather
opens up. The top of the plants will
not grow duriug the winter, but the
roots will be growing all the time,
About tlifc middle or last of February—
or say two weeks before your regular
spring weather starts, take a turn plow,
or half shovel, aud throw a furrow away
from the plants in each alternate row,
run tlie furrow close to tlie plant, sow
in this farrow fertilizer at the rate of
1,000 pounds to the acre, this fertilizer

Bryan and Parker.
Alton B. Parker and William Jen-
niugs Bryan met Wednesday for the
first time, but this meeting of the two
distinguished defeated candidates does
not seem to have been regarded as hav
ing any political significance.
When Mr. Bryau calls at the White j
House his conversation with Mr. Roose-j
velt is considered of much importance ]
politically. When lie meets Judge
Parker the affair is treated as a social
happening of no general public con
sequence.
Yet it was not so long ago that Jndge
Parker was commonly looked upon as
the new Moses who was to lead the
Democratic party out of the wilderness,
even if he were defeated. He was to be
the party leader.
Nothing has been heard from the
Jndge politically since election, but Mr.
Bryan has been voluble and omnipres
ent. He is makiug speeches, delivering
lectures, writiug editorials, adviaiug the
Democratic Congressmen, conferring
with the President and helping to ehape
legislation generally.
Judge Parker is peggiug away at the
law, apparently unconscious of rate
bills, or rebates, or tariff schedules, or
navy appropriations, or fiscal protec
torates.
Mi. Bryan, after two defeats, is still
in politics up to his chin. Judge Parker,
after one defeat, seems to be satiated
with statecraft. What has become of
reorganization and the reorganizers?—

the fertilizer, throw the furrow hack,

About two weeks after this fertilizing,
go into the furrow that was not worked
before and do the same thing, then keep
the alleys well cultivated, using for this
purpose a cultivator or diamond toothed
harrow. You want to keep the land

Georgia aud all of tlie Gulf States.

I had a sinking feeling in my

I became weak and lost my vital
