Refuse Salt ou Compost.
Question — I hare a lot of refuse nil
on hand. Would you advise putting it
in my compost heap, and if so, in what
proportion?
Answer —Strictly speaking, salt is
not a fertilizer, as an analysis shows it
to contain little or no plant food. From
ancient times, however, down to the
present day it has been applied to land
generally with beneficial results, so that
experience, our best teacher, indorses
its nse. On lands that are near enough
to the sea to receive the salt spray,
which storms often carry to a consider
able distance inland, or on such lands
as contain chlorine and soda in any
form, salt would have no appreciable
effect, but on soils of an opposite char
acter an application of salt is frequently
very beneficial. By some means its
presence brings about a chemical change
in the soil which renders available an
additional ainonnt of plant food for the
growing crops. Not only this, bat the
great affinity it has for water causes it
to attract from the dews and the vapors
of the atmosphere an amount of mois
ture, which, in a drouth, enables the
crops to resist to some extent, the effeots
of the dry weather. A liberal applica
tion of salt is said also to prevent rust
in cotton, though this is not well es
tablished. Au additional benefit to be
derived from an application of salt is
that it kills the larvae of many noxious
Insects, snob as entworms, etc. I would
'advise you to use it in your compost
heap, in such proportion as that from t
to U> bushels will be applied to the acru.

A LEGEND OF THE
CHATTAHOOCHEE,
At that point where the Chatta
hoochee river takes its final plunge
from the Piedmont region of Geor
gia into the plains of the southern
section of the state, and from
whence a once turbulent, dashing
mountain stream pursues its now
tranquil, dignified course to the
sunny southern sea, a promontory
juts out from the rugged hills com
prising the eastern boundry of the
river. This is Lover's Leap, just
one mile above the city of Culum
bus, and around which is clustered
one of the most beautiful Indian
legends of the many interesting
stories handed down to the pec pie
of this section from the red men
who once occupied these hills and
valleys.
High over the mighty stream
which dashes and roars and tum
bles many feet below, is the famed
rock from which runs the Indian
legend, leaped, many years ago,
the “Young Eagle” of the Cowetas
aud the “Morning Star” of the
Cussetas, the two lovers the story
of whose tragic fate has been hand
ed down to this day.
It will not be long before Lover’s
Leap will lose its romance. The
waters which roared and raced so
freely in the days when the two In
dian lovers leaped into their depths
are to be chained and harnessed to
do the bidding of man. An im
mense dam is to be constructed
across the stream from the very
base of the historic rock, this be
ing the site on which the plant of
the Columbus Power Company iB
to be built. Before the dreams
and the romance of the spot are
succeeded by the bustle and the
transformation of an aggressive
civilization, it may be well to re
count the sad and yet simple story
which is given down to us by the
red men of the forest.
Of all the Indian maidens of the
tribe of the Cusetas, “Morning
Star” was the brightest, most
beautiful aud most popular. She
was the daughter of the aged chief
of the Cussetas, an old warrior,
who was brave in battle, famed in
council, and beloved by his tribe.
Time had somewhat dimmed the
once bright eye of the old man,
and the flight of years had some
what sapped him of his strength;
but the indomitable spirit was
still there, and around the council
fire none could so enthuse like the
old warrior of the forest. In the
full vigor of their splendid young
manhood, his brave sons had been
slain, and now his only comfort
and his sole joy was his daughter.
Fleet of step and graceful as a wild
fawn, “Morning Star” grew up in
all the beauty and grace of a typ
ical daughter of the forest, and her
chief care and delight was to give
delight to her aged father. In her
early years the proud father called
the starry-eyed child “Mine chee”
(which means in the Indian tongue
fleet, active); but, as time passed
and she grew in grace and beauty,
he called her “Morning Star.”
This bright Indian maiden would
rise with the birds, and the sweet
music aud the gay laughter that
awoke the old chief in the cool,
pleasant morning hours were often
the combined serenade given by
his daughter and the feathered
songsters outside.
It was not strange that with the
young braves of the tribe of the
Cussetas “Morning Star” should
be popular. They likened her un
to a bright and beautiful being
from spirit land, and in the sun
shine of her presence they were ev
er happy. The young men of the
forest ware stirred by precisely the
same emotions which are now agi
tating the bosoms of the pale faces
of a century later, and the homage
that was paid to the graceful maid
en was as natural as it was sincere.
There were many suitors, and
among them was Yaho Hadjo.
Yaho Hadjo was a traitor. Un
der the garb of friendship and loy
alty to his chief, he had cunningly
ingratiated into himself the favor
of the old warrior and had secured
a fine footing at the head wigwam.
It was by these secret methods
that he hoped to end a rivalry for
the hand of “Morning Star,” and
to consummate his cruel plans he
decided upon a course which cul
minated in unhappiness to all con
cerned, ending 111 the dread tragedy
of Lover’s Leap.
For Yaho Hadjo had a rival,and
him he hated with all the intensi
ty of his Indian nature. When
Morning Star was a child she was
betrothed to Young Eagle, the no
ble son of the chief of the Cowetas,
another oowerful Indian tribe.
But a rivalry sprang up betweeu
the two nations of red men, and
this rivalry promised to ripen into
war It was a long and deadly
fend, and the braves who once
smoked together the pipe of peace
became the bitterest enemies. Al
though separated, the two lovers
did not forget the plighted vows.
Their love was a love that was
more than a love, and it matured
and strengthened as the years
passed by. In time the lovers be
gan to secretly meet.
A short distance below Lover’s
Leap a silvery stream glides into
the Chattahoochee. Beginning its
flow among the bays and magnoli
as, it at last falls into the river in
•a succession of little sparkling 1
cascades. It was on the lovely 1
stream, known as the “Silver
Wampum,” that the two lovers j
were prone to meet. In a beati- ,
ful sylvau retreat made fragrant ,
and attractive by the flowers aud ,|
blossoms carried there by the no- 6
ble young Coweta, these two chil- j
dreu of the forest exchanged their
confidences and whispered sweet
stories of love. Young Eagle lived
in Paradise during this blissful pe
riod, and the maiden, little dream
ing of what would be the end of ®
these pleasant meetings, enjoyed
the full happiness of them.
Many a morning the old chief r
would find suspended at his wig- c
warn the most splendid triumphs
of the chase and specimens of a 1
bold hunter’s skill. On such oc- 1
casions, not dreaming of the source
of these handsome offerings, which
were contributed by the young 1
Coweta, he would praise Yaho j
Hadjo (Crazy Wolf) for his indns- f
try and thoughtfulness. Thus c
Yaho Hadjo profited by all this. d
In the meantime, Yaho Hadjo
was working by day and by night
to moro thoroughly embitter the
relations between the Cussetas and
the Cowetas. The Coweias want
ed peace, influenced by Young Ea
gle ; but the Cussetas listened to
the words of Yaho Hadjo and re
lations became more strained eve
ry day. The two lovers, aware of
the situation, no longer dared to
meet by day, and it was only by
night, under the friendly stars,
that they now met to renew their
vows.
But Yaho Hadjo was watching.
One night he followed Morning
Star to the trysting place and his
jelous eyes were obliged to witness
the tender meeting that followed.
Swearing vengeance, he laid shrewd
plans. Going to the old chief, he
told a malignant falsehood of how
the Cowetas had broken faith and
of a treacherous raid the rival tribe
was even then contemplating. He
advised caution, and saying that
Young Eagle was the inspirer of
the whole unfair plot aud might
even then be lingering about with
a hope of capturing Morning Star,
he suggested that a handsome re
ward be privately offered for the
scalp of the young Coweta brave.
The old man was for a fiery decla
ration of war and for coping with
the enemy fairly and as became
Cussetas, but he rather reluctant
ly obeyed the suggestion of his
wily young cautioner.
“Go tell my young warriors,”
said he, “that he who brings to
me the scalp of Young Eagle shall
wear on his brave heart the Morn
ing Star of the Cussetas.”
Yaho Hadjo aroused a few sleep
ing braves and started for the Sil
ver Wampum.
The unsuspecting lovers wore
caught entirely by surprise. Just
as they were saying a last lingering
farewell stealthy footsteps were
heard approaching, aud glancing
around, they beheld the attacting
braves, with uplifted tomahawks,
rushing madly upon them. To
clasp his lover to his bosom was
but the work of a moment with
Young Eagle, and the next instant,
thus encumbered, he was speeding
away, with the Cussetas in mad
pursuit. Rushing up the steep,
winding path, the young clfief
reached the summit of the prom
ontory, by which, far below roared
the rapids. At this place he
would fain release the maiden and
save her from furtor peril, but she
clung to him with all the tenacity
of her love. A moment later and
Yaho Hadjo was upon them. His
tomahawk was uplifted and all
hope of escape was cut off.
It was fate, however, that the
assassin should be foiled. Clasp
ing each other firmly and fondly,
the two loveis advanced to the edge
of the precipice, and without a
moment’s hesitation, jumped into
the seething waters below.
That was the last ever seen of
