LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1899.
Frcper Depth to Cover Who a*.
Mr. Tood of New York has ex pen
menteti with wheat as follows: Four
teen grains of wheat planted 1 inch deep
in row No. 1, in row No. 2 14 grains
were planted 2 inches deep, the sauio
number of grains were planted 3 inches
deep in the third row, in the fourth row
• 14 grains were covered 4 inches deep
and so on ntil eight rows were planted,
increasing the depth 1 inch in each row,
until the eighth row was planted.
Sight days after, it was found that iu
; row No. 1, 12 of the 14 grains had come
up. In row No. 2 there were seven. In
No. 8 there were eight. In No. 4 there
were five. In No. 6 there were three,
jln No. 6 there were only two. Those
grains planted 7 and 8 inches deep re
spectivelv did not come up at all, and
upon examination it was found that
only four sickly sprouts were attempt*
ing to reach the surface. What became
of the other grains seem to have been a
mystery. From this experiment, we
conclude that seed wheat must not be
planted too deep; suggesting the fallacy
of “plowing in/' as much of the seed
will be buried so deep that the
stems can never reach the surface of the
ground. We, therefore, suggest that it
is better to harrow your wheat and fer
tilizers iu from 1 to 3 inches deep, ao
cording to the character of the soil, re
membering that a thinner covering is
required in close, heavy land than in
one light or sandy. A still better plan,
when practicable, is to use the wheat
drill after the land has been thoroughly
flowed, fertilized, harrowed, raked,
pulverized and then rolled. This will
leave your land in excellent condition
for the propagation and growth of the
wheat plant, as well as a smooth sur
face, so important for the future harvest.
FORMULAS FOR WHEAT.
The following ideas are made up with
the idea that the dominant element of
wheat is nitrogen, with phosphoric acid
and potash holding a secondary place,
and also with the idea of furnishing,
practically those quantities of the three
elements which a crop of 30 bushels of
wheat per acre would remove from the
soil. The formulas are given of differ
ent materials to suit the convenience of
different people living in different local
ities; but all are so calculated as to con
tain practically the same amounts of
phosphoric acid, potash ami nitrogen.
The quantities given in each formula
are the amounts to be applied per acre.
Where the wheat is planted in the fall,
and nitrate of soda is given in the form
ula, the nitrate should not be mixed
with the other ingredients, but reserved
and applied as a top dressing in the
spring, when its effect will be immedi
ate and very marked, imparting a rich
green color and increasing the yield. In
those formulas where nitrate of soda is
not an ingredient, the result will be
much better if yon can afford to apply
75 to 100 pounds of nitrate of soda in the
spring as a top dressing, in addition to
the other formula applied in the fall:
Muriate of Potash 80 pounds
Acid Phosphate 107 “
Nitrate of Soda 125 “
Muriate of Potash 20 pounds
Acid Ph05phate........... 140 “

lows:

Each of the above formulas will be ex
cellent for cotton, if the ainouut of acid
; phosphate in each is doubled.
WHEN TO SOW WHEAT.
Winter wheat may be sown too early
in tbe fall or too late, so we must select
the time between these periods to put in
the seed. As we have stated before,
this plant encounters many enemies
which flourish only at certain periods—
say in the fall soon after the wheat
comes np—then other enemies come on
in the spring before harvest. Drouth,
vet weather, freezing and thawing, all
have to be considered by the man who
would grow wbeat successfully.
Now, then, looking to tbe dreary
winter, we And the strongest wheat
plants, those that are most firmly rooted
with a system of luxuriant leaves sufli
oient to cover the surface of the gronnd,
will endure the rigors of our cold bliz
iard in winter, so common of late years.

hand, if we plant too early, so that the
plains attain a large size id a few weeks,
hordes of insects, in the form of the
wheat fly, will almost destroy the
plants. This fly flourishes between the
early and late sowing. So we are
forced to ohoose the late seed

to resist the adverse influences of win
ter, we mast plow and harrow and pul

Stone Mountain, June 14, 1870.
Dear Bro. Beebe :—lf you think
proper yon can insert the follow
ing communication in “The Signs
of the Times,” if not, throw it
aside, and you will not offend me.
Thirty years ago I hope the Lord
commenced his dealings with me,
a poor, unworthy sinner. I was,
like all of Adam’s race, born in
sin, and I lived in the love and
practice of the same until, as 1
hope, the Lord showed me that I
was desperately wicked above all
things I went to meeting on the
first Sunday in January, 1840, feel
ing as careless and unconcerned
about my condition as ever a mor
tal did. The preacher’s text was,
“Arise, go to Neuevah, and preach
the preaching I bid thee.” It
seemd to me that my eyes were
turned within, and I saw the cor
ruption of my heart, which caused
me to feel condemned before the
just and holy God. The preach
ing all seemed to condemn me.
After preaching 1 set out for home,
and after I got home I thought I
would go and try to pray, and ask
the Lord to have mercy on me. I
went aud tried to pray, but my
prayer seemed to avail nothing. I
continued in this condition, trying
to ask for mercy, until it seemed
to me that I was committing a sin
in asking God to have mercy on
me, and I thought I would never
try to pray any more, for I did not
waDt to commit any more sin. But
for my life I could not help asking
God to have mercy on me, a poor
lost and condemned sinner. I went
on in this way, bowed down with
the mouutaiu weight of my guilt.
I could see the goodness of God in
sparing my life for eighteen years,
but now it seemed to me that He
was about to cut me off in my sins,
and banish me forever from His
presence. 0! the distress of my
soul no tongue can express, which
continued for weeks and months
Something seemed to say to me,
“It is now too late, the time has
been when you could have repent
ed, but now you soe it is too late.”
Aud I tried to lay it all by, but I
could not help asking God to be
merciful to me, although I could
not see how he could be just, and
be the justifier of so great a sinner
as I was. All my prayers failed,
aud the time drew near when I
must be banished from the pres
ence of the Lord. In this condi
tion it seemed to me that I would
have given anything in the world
to have had the prayers of Chris
tiansiu my behalf; but I felt my
self to bo too mean and sinful to
ask them to pray for me ; and I
did not feel willing that anyone
shoulJ know my condition. Thus
I continued on until the first Sun
day in June, of the same year. Ou
that day I walked to and fro in my
father’s yard, and watched the go
ing down of tliesuu, believing that
1 should never see it rise again,for
I thought the Lord was now about
to - banish me forever. <), my
brethren, the sorrow of soul I felt
at that time, no language can ex- j
press. Bed time came on, and I
laid me down, but I could not
sleep. I thought when the light
went out, I would go once more
and ask God to have mercy on me, j
and I went and got down ou my
knees, but I could not utter a word.
As I returned to the house, it
seemed to me that the earth would
open and swallow me up. But I
got back to the house, and as I lay
dowu, I do not know whether I ut- 1
tered a word with my voice, or it
was only in my mind, “God, be
merciful to me, a poor condemned
sinner.” All at once a light above
the brightness of the sun shown
around me, and the burden of my
mind was gone. But I could not
claim any interest in Christ, for
I could not yet see how God could
rimaiu just, and be the justifier of
one like me. The thought occured
to me, that perhaps God had oiily
given me this as a warning that
He was about to remove me from
the earth. For time days I was
in gre,at trouble, for I could not
get my hurdeu back, nor see how I
could he saved. I tried to ask the
Lord to reveal to me my real con- :
uition On Wednesday, as I was
returning from mill, still asking
God to make known tome my true
condition, I found myself standing
before my horse, praising God for
His goodness to me, iu revealing
Jesus to me standing, as it were,
between me, the offender, and God,
the offended, and bearing in His
own body the punishment that was
due to me. Then I could view my
justification iu Him, and the way
of salvation was opened up to try
mind with such a flow of joy as
broke into my, soul, that the whole
creation seemed to bo new, and all
things were praising God. I sot
out for home, thinking I would
tell the family of the goodness of
God, and of His plan of salvation,
and I thought I could tell them so
plainly that they could see and
iove it as I did. But 1 hud not
got far before something seemed to
say that I was deceived. After
this my exercises have variod,
sometimes rejoicing, and some
times oppressed with doubts and
fears. The duty of becoming a
member of the church began to
impress my mind, but I felt too
unworthy to live with the people
of God, and seemed to be as one
alone. However, I went to meet
ing on Saturday before the third
Sunday in July, of tho same yeur,
1840. The minister, in preaching,
took up my case and told the
whole trial of my mind much bet
ter titan I could have related it
tnyself. An opportunity being of
fered after preaching, I wont for
ward and related to the church
some of my exercises, and was re
ceived for baptism, and on the fol
lowing day I was baptized by Eld.
Win. Gober, and was received into
the church, and here I have found
rest which I could find no where
else. Since that time I have had
doubts and fears at times, and
some seasons of refreshing from
the presence of the Lord. Some
times 1 am ready to Bay, “It is
enough," and at other times, I ant
enshrouded in darkness, which
makes me sad. If I am saved at
all, lam a sinner saved by grace,
and by grace alone.
Yours,in hope of eternal life,
W. P. Diokkn.

QUESTION ANSWERED.
Yes, August Flour still hasthe largest
sale of any medicine in tile civilized
world. Your mol hers and grandmoth
ers never thought of using anything
else for Indigestion or Biliousness
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
beared of Appendecitis, Nervous Pros
tration or Heart Failure, etc: They
used August Flower to clean out the
system ami stop fermentation of undi
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate tile nervous and organ
ic action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and had
with headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses of Green’s Au
gust Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. Maniple bottles at

MORMON HISTORY
Interesting Letter From One Who Knows
the Mormons and Their Ways.
A'writer in the Madisouville
j(Tenn.) Democrat snys: Early
in the thirties, if I romember
right, Joseph Smith professed to
have found a golden plate, with
hieroglyphics on it, which no man
could read but himself, and which
he interpreted and said that he
was a prophet and was to raise up
a people to be called “The Latter-
Day Saints;” that he was to es
tablish a spiritual-wife system;
that a man w: s entitled to seven
wives, and he, Brigham Young
and Sidney Higdon began preach
ing and settled in Missouri, stren
uously advocating the plurality of
wives—that is, a mao had one
wife after the flesh, by whom he
raised up sous and daughters in
the flesh; then he was entitled to
six more spiritual wiyes, by whom
he raised up sons and daughters
unto God.
The Missiouriuns soon got tired
of them and run them out of the
state, giving them rough treat
ment and they came over into
Illinois and located in Hancock
county and began building up a
now Jerusalem, which place they
callod Nauvoo.
Mormon elders went out preach
ing the spiritual-wife system over
Illinois and lowa,' but tho people
of lowa did not receive them
warmly, but when the elders would
get*up to preach treated them to
eggs, stale and otherwise, and also
other missiles. They never got a
foothold m lowa, but had better
success in Illinois.
Men who woro considered to be
the best and tho wealthiest men
of the country—lawyers, doctors,
merchants, farmers, mechanics—
ran pell-mell into Mormouism for
no other reason than that they
could have seven wive's, the mat
ter of roligiou never being consid
ered. Soon a Mormon temple was
built and Nauvoo went up as by
magic. ‘
Very soon the greater portion of
the men of wealth and standing
had gotten them seven wives and
hud located in Nauvoo.
It is strange to contemplate
thut men of.wealth an honor, and
ladies of refinment and intelli
gence, could be so deluded and be
brought into such a condition as
this, but it is no stranger than
true.
In a little while the Mormoiiß
got political control of the county
of Hancock, of which Carthage is
the county seat. The Mormons
huving all the offices of the county
in their own hunds, controlled
things aij they pleased and appr< -
priated all aud any kind of prop
erty they could got hold of to
build their temple, which was,
when, completed, by far the.finest
building 1 ever saw. It covers
one-fourth of an acre of ground
and its cupola was nearly 260 feet
high.
In a short time nearly all the
young women of the country either
willingly or otherwise had becomo
the spiritual wives of Mormon
elders (the wealthy men all being
elders), and so it continued until
about 1846, when the good people
rebelled against such proceedings
aud called ou Governor Ford of
Illinois for redress; but he, being
a “Jack” Mormon, refused help.
Up to this time the Mormon
elders lived in great splendor with
their various little seraglios und
harems, but they did so bad that
the good citizens could stand it no
longer. There was an old man
among the good citizens that had
fought under General Jackson in
tho war of 1812, and he told the
people that he would help get up
troops and he would command
them. So a call was made for
volunteers to meet on a certain
day, east of Nauvoo, with six days’
rations und arms and ammunition.
Troops by the thousands came in
from Missouri, lowa and Illinois.
They also brought some cannon,
and when they began bombarding
the city of Nauvoo the Mormons
sent out a flag of truce und asked
for terms of peace They were
told that if they would leave by
the first day of May that they
would not destroy the town. They
agreed to leave, and did leave.
They began to buy cows with
young calves. They ate the calves
and trained the cows to the yoke.
On the first of May they yoked up
their cows, hitched them to wag
ons, took their seven wives und
from ten to thirty children, and
betook themselves to the perilous
journey to the Salt Lake, in Utah.
There, out of the reach of law or
humanity, they began to build an
other Now Jerusalem and set up
divers seraglios und harems, which
are kept up clandestinely to this
day, notwithstanding the rigid
laws passed by congress against
polygamy.
These Mormon elders who are
preaching through this country are
not for the good of souls, but are
proselyting around to get the ad
vantage of some poor, thoughtless
girls that they may induce to go
to Salt Lake City, aud when they
get there will find out the delu
sion, when too late, that she has
to be the spiritual wife for some
Mormon elder.
A few years ago two Mormon
elders went into North Georgia
and made many proselytes, and in
the full they were, missing and so
were many young girls. They had
gone off secretly to Salt Lake City.
Two men went to Salt Lake, but
when they got there their young
female friends could not he found.
Being encouraged, two more el-

ders went into the same field to
preach the next year; they did
not preach but were found dead
by the road side soon after they
came in.
Mormouism is a blot, a stigma,
and an ulcer on our government,
and a disgrace to our institution.
I am for putting Mormonism out
of the land if it takes the shedding
of blood to do it. Our govern ment
has gone to war over matters of
less importance than this one. It
would be a blessing and an honor
to our government to send an
army to IBalt Lake City and de
stroy the last vestige of Mormon
ism. It will have to be done final
ly, and the sooner the better for
all concerned
I was a boy during the rise o”
Mormouism aud lived in La Harpe,
Hancock county, Illinois, and
know what I say to be true. I
was in the city of Nauvoo on the
7th of May, 1847. There were
only a few houses on tho main
streets that were occupied. The
city was otherwise uninhabited.
The men had given up all they had
—honor, land, etc., rather than
give up their seven wives. I care
fully viewed the temple, and it was
a master piece of workmanship.
I then went to Carthage, the coun
ty seat of Hancock county, and
saw the jail whore their first
prophet and founder of the church
had been killed. After the people
had run tho Mormons off from
Nauvoo, Joseph Smith gave him
self up to the authorities for safe
keeping, and was put in jail for
protection at his own request, but
was killed by a band of men, ho
being held responsible for all the
mischief that had been done. Jo
seph Smith was the prophet of
what he was pleased to call “The
Church of the Latter-Day Saints,”
and was the cause of all this
trouble and misery, which has
caused the downfall of so many
amiable females. After Joseph
Smith was killed at Carthage, 111.,
Brigham Young became their pro
phet and conducted them to Utah
and built up the great city of Salt
Lake.

The renders of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh . Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrli being a
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, aetingdirect
ly upon the blood and inucou surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative pow
ers, I lull t hey offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to cure.

Under date of Sept. 29 Consul
Monaghan of Chemnitz sends the
following: “Artificial paviug
stones are being successfully pro
duced in this empire. The demand,
in large cities, is so great aud the
expense attached to their produc
tion under former methods is &o
large that any improvement on the
older systems, whether saving
money or in producing a better
stone, will be welcomed by almost
all countries. The newest process
here is to mix coal tar with sulphur
and warm thoroughly ; to the re
sulting semi-liquid mass chlorate
of lime (chlorkalk) is added Af
ter cooling, the mass is broken in
to small pieces and mixed with
glass or blast furnace glass slag
(hofenglasschaum). This powder
is then subjected to pressure of
200 atmospheres and reduced to
the form or forms wanted. The
specific weight of these stones is
2.2; the resistance against crush
ing it 148 kilograms (815 pounds)
to the square centimeter ( l&j
square inches). The resistance to
wear and tear in use is fully half
as great as that of Swedish granite.
Thus it commends itself through
durability equal to that of many
stone roads, resistance to changes
of temperature, roughness of sur
face—giving horse a good foot
hold—and finally non-transmis
sion of sound. Inasmuch as the
joinings are very small, dirt is
avoided and cleaning is vary easy.”
What Shall We Do.
A serious and dangerous disease pre
vails iu this country, dangerons because
so deceptive. It comes on so slowly yet
surely that it is often firmly seated before
we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is, Kirs-t,
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the
back, rheumatism, lumbago, frequent de
sire to urinate, often with a burning sensa
tion,the (low of urine being copious or scant
with strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with
heavy pain in the abdomen low down be
tween the navel and the water passage,
increasing desire to urinate, with scalding
sensation in passing small quantities be
ing passed with .difficulty, sometimes
necessary to draw it with instruments. If
uric acid or gravel has formed, it will
prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third stage is Bright’s Disease
