The farmers tn this county are turning their attention to the raising of wheat. Heretofore it has been n generally a - fact that wheat could not be suc cessfully raised in this section of the state, but experiments ok'ng this lire in the past two years by m*\ ra! progressive farmers show that wrheai can be grown here. Capl. McCall brought from h i plantation yesterday a number of heads of fully matured wheat The grain was of good size and the quality first-clas-. Capl. McCall has several acres which will make a pretty fair yield. A knitting mil! in connection with the Atlantic and Gulf mills Is one of the new enterprises which is btir.g agita’ed for Quitman, and there is a strong probability that such a manufactory will be built here In the course of a few months. The At lantic and Gulf mills ate running on ful time and turning out a fine article of yarn, for which a ready sale is found.

Space writing by distinguished statesmen for yellow jour nals it* a growing industry tn politico. At the recent Republican 'Convention heM in Philadelphia, a number of prominent sen ators and representatives were engaged to write a daily review of the proceedings a: figures ranging from IT>oo to SI,OOO per and r One of the New York papers stthe price at SI,OOO for not less than 500 nor more than I.COO words daily. When the rival pa pers attempted to make terms with other statesmen for similar services they de manded the SI,OOO rate and held out for that price to the end. The result was that those papers which did not feel able to in vest that amount of cold cash In the drivel ground out by reporting statesmen, man aged to secure the reportorlal services of less prominent men at a smaller figure. Of all the signed articles by so-called statesmen during the convention, the pro ductions of Gen. Grosvenor of Ohio w ere easily the most interesting from a jour nalistic standpoint. Had a ton-dollar-a week reporter turned in to the managing editor such poorly written rot as was pub lished over the signature of a leading statesman, the reporter would have been “tired*' on the spot and his copy dashed into the waste basket. In cultivating th* habit of poying public men large eume of money to do ordinary, reportorlal work the yellow journals are injuring the newspaper profession to the extent that it is now difficult for a trained reporter to obtain an Interview on any great national question except for a pe cuniary compensation. Contracts have already been made with leading Democrats by some of the “Yel lows'* to report the proceedings of the convention at Kansas City. two m;\v enterprises.

L< ngfthorrinen Demand Shorter Ilnur* autl 'lore Pay. Darien, Ga., June 24.—The strike of the longshoreman is on. Every man gave notice Friday night that he would not go to work again except at the advanced wages, and the decreased work hours demanded a few days ago. The loading of the vessels was at a standstill yester day. The timber merchants do not appear to be uneasy. The delay will, they think be brief. The strike will, of course, give them some inconvenience, especially as a number of large steamships are to ar rive during the next few weeks, but the sevedores hope to get new men before many days. Many of the men who struck were in town to-day. but no d;sturbance of any kind occurred. RESILTS ON THE DIAMOND. Cincinnati Won From i*ltlrago by a Score of 5 to 3. Chicago.

The country known to English-speaking folk as Thibet boars a very different name among its own people. It is called Bod. or Bod-yul, “the country of Bod.” The name Rod probably refers to Buddha. Thibet being the headquarters of what is termed Northern Buddhism, in coniradisUnction to the Buddhism of Ceylon, which is spok en of as Southern Buddhism. In India proper Buddhism is r.o longer a dominant cult. Though ostensibly Buddhists, the people of Bod are in reality slaves to Lamaisnv a system of theology which ha* been de bited as “Buddhism corrupted by Ova ism and by Shamanism or spirit worship." Shamanism is the dominant cult of Mon golia. and is a system of demon wor ship rather than spirit worship Thibet is regarded by students of the oc cult os the home of magic, and whether or no there be “Mahatmas' ’’ in that wild and weird land, in which the late Mme. Bia vatsky. the high priestess of theos phy. it is claimed, servedareven-ycur appren ticeship in the magic art. we have it cn the most respectable testimony that the lamas of Bod-yul can ard do perform fea:s which have not yet been explained in terms of science and which cai\ only be classed as magical. The performance of the Bek is. or won der-working lama 9. are quite as astound ing in their way as those of the Indian fakirs, who sre Mohammedans, or of the Sanyahis or Yogis, who are Brahmins, but they are usually terrible and revo 'ing. A Thibetan Bokt. who had wandered from his native land and penetrated as far as Benares, gave an exhibition of his wonder ful powers in one of the vast temples of the holy city a few* years ago. He w.s accompanied and assisted by a mongrel crowd of half-human compatrio:*. The ex hibition promised by the wonderful magi cian was truly an astound.r.g one. He proposed, in view of oil beholders, to rip up his abdomen, remove a handful of in testines. display them to the spectators and then replace them again and heal up the wound by n few magi cad passes, leav ing no vestige of the damage inflicted. Not Evrry-D* > Occurence*. Needless to say such exhibitions arc not every-day occurrences, and the ordinary globe trotter might traverse India from (.'ape Comorin to Nepal and not be fortu rate enough to witness so marvelous, if revolting, a spectacle as that it: ques t ion. When the hour cf noon arrived the lama appeared arid took his seat before the raised ahar on which candies had been lighted. Before him was a radiant image of the sun. and on either side of tho altar were grim idols which had been placed there by the attendants. The luma was in person a small, spare man. with fixed, glittering eyes, an ema ciated frame and an Immense mass of iong black hair, which floated over his shoul ders Ho appeared altogether like a walk ing corpse, in whose head two biasing rives had been lighted, which gleamed in unnatural lu-i-r through his long fl.mon.i shaped ryes. He was about forty years of age. and report alleged that he had al r. ~lv s me four times previously perform i i the gretit sacrificial act he was now about to repeat. From the moment this skeleton figure had Mkctt : seat the sever.iy fakirs who surrounded him in a semi-clr.le began to swat their bodies back and forth, singing meanwhile a loud, monotonous chant In rhythm with their movements. In a few minutes the gesticulations of the fakirs tr creased almost to frenry They tossed their arm- on high, bent their bo-diee to earth, now forward, now backward, now swung them around as if thrown by the hands of others. Meantime their monoto nous chant rose into shrieks and yells so frightful that th< ears of the listeners were deafened and their senses distracted hv the clamor. On every side of the au ditorium b: alters of it. -er.se were burning S<x fakirs swung pots of frankincense, filling the air with intoxicatlrg vapors, while six othets stood behind, bea leg n-.etnl drums or clashing cymbals, which they pissed on high with gestures of frar.- tic exultation.

The ecstatic makes a few more passes, and after wrapping a scarf previously prepared over the body if to cleanse it from the gore in which it was steeped, suddenly he stands upright, casts all his upper garments from him and display* a body unmarked by a single scar. Ges ticulations. cries, shouts subside; low murmurs of admiration and worship pass through the breathless assembly, and then the Bok:. clasping his thin hands and elevating- his glistening eyes to heav en. utters, in a deep, low tone, far differ ent from the shrill wail of the half-dead sacrifice, a short but fervent prayer of thankfulness, and all is finished. A Florentine traveler succeeded in pen etrating in disguise to Potaia shortly after the death of a Dalai lama, and de scribes what he saw in connection with the reincarnation of the Buddha who ho i taken up his abode in the body of a young child. “An altar is ready in the temple to re ceive the resuscitated Buddha found by the initiated priesthood, and recognized by certain secret signs to have relncar r.tifed him self Tn a new-born trrfanr. The >aby. but a few days old. is brought into the pretence of ihe people and reverential ly placed upon the altar. Suddenly rising to n sitting posture the child begins u :er in a loud, manly voice the following sentences: lam Buddha: lam his spirit, and 1. Buddha* your Dalai Lama, have left my oid decrepit body at the temple of * * * and selected the body of this young babe as my earthly dwelling.’ “ The Florentine says he was permitted by the priests to take the baby in his arms and carry it off some distance, so as to satisfy himself that i; was no trlcx of the ventriloquist. The infant opened his eyes and gave him such a look thu made his flesh creep, and then repeat ed the same words, so there could be n. mistake about it. This account is con firmed by Abbe Hue. who states thac the child answers questions end tells those who knew him in his past life the most exact details of his anterior earthly ex istence. This incident is inexplicable, but if is not without collateral support from inde pendent sources. Sftwe Siattimc €'nr!olfie. From the Philadelphia Record.
