J* r - Robert Levins was cleauing out a well
fa* Mr. 8. K. Kler, who lives 6 or 8 miles
above town, the former made a narrow es
cape with his life. The well was 00 feet
deep, and as the bucket' was being drawn
upward when within 10 feet of the top the
rope broke, and the backet fell to the bot-
kc T,ns on the bead and
shoulder. The blow broke one stave in the
bocket, and knocked Mr. Levins senseless.
The bucket, together with tne mud it con
tained when it fell, weighed 47 pounds.
Mr. L. recovered from the shock in a short
time, and is doing well now. His cranium
must certainly be '-put up” of the very best
of material. Mr. Eley gave us the facts
concerning the above, ana says he was pres
ent and saw it all.

The legislature has now been in session
nearly a month. It is time then for the
wi^e journalist to take his stand amid the
drifting currents of debate and gossip and
review the situation—to see what has been
done, and what hasn't been, to see what is
the fate of the measures that the people are
interested in and to guess at the probable
length of the session.
ACoxsrrnmox man has been engaged
on this reflective work and present below a
resume of the month that will be interest
ing u> those who have not been brave
enough to wade through the sinuous and
tedious daily reports and sift from the chaff
of technicalities the grains of information
contained therein.
TH* BA COW MURDER LAW.
There is no bill before the legislature that
excites more interest than the bill intro
duced by Major Bacon to expedite trials for
murder. By the provisions of this bill the
courts most drop all business to hasten
through any murder case that comes befoie
it, and if there be no court in session the
judge must call a session and at once try
the case; it must then go direct to the su
preme court and there be affirmed or re
verse*] at once; if reversed a new trial must
be had at once. We regret to learn tlu*t
this bill has been beaten in the indicia y
committee. It ta said that it received only
one vote. The demand for this bill is al
most universal, and it is thought that it
will be J *■ **
fore the
that we have heard urged.
THE MURDER M MXaCT” BILL.
As if to compensate for the poasible de
feat of this bill, it seems to be pretty cer
tain that the bill passed at the last session,
providing that a "recommendation to mer
cy” by a jury shall change the verdict in
murder cases from death to imprisonment
in life, will be repealed. The senate has
already passed a repeal bill by a very heavy
vote, and there seems to be little fear that
it will fail in the house. The operation of
the bill in the past year seems to have con
vinced every one that it abolishes capital
1 -diluent except, possibly, where the de
nt is so poor or obscure that he is not
hie to make any defense. Not a single
death sentence has been made since the law
passed, though several verdicts of
nave been found in mnrder
will be passed anyhow when it”comes bc-
bouse. There Is no objection to it
to know whether or not ita repeal i

The wheat crop of the country is safe, and.
as a general rule, all over the country, the
farmer's toil with this crop has been crowned
with success. There are some localities In
some of the states the corn crop has suf
fered fiom drouth, but there has been gen
erally timely rains and com has wonder
fully improved; what at one time was feared
would be scarcely half a crop will give
fully two-thirds to three-quarters of a crop.
Oata and barley will be in fair supply.
Cotton and tobacco bids fair to be extra.
In short, the hopes of the early season will
be more than vindicated. There will be an
abundance to make glad the heart of the
farmer and give renewed life and strength
to all departments of human industry.
Have ^ou learned any lessons, farmers,
from the teachings of the season? Have
you seen that slip-abod farming will
no longer pay? Have you discov
ered that poor fanning tends to
sterility of soil ? Did you see your neighbor
thoroughly prepare bis ground before plant
ing bis crop, while you partially prepared
yoors; his land stood the drouth and he
will make a good crop of corn while you
will make a half crop—is it so? Have you
discovered why the productive capacity of
your farm has decreased. The season is ad
vancing toward a close; your mode of plant-
in ? ?!“ y° Q * bare Bring, while your
neighbor will make something more. Go to
work now and resolve next season, by better
farming and better management, to increase
the productive capacity of your land.
THX OARDKX.
There are some things which we regret to
« becoming scarcer in the farm gardens.
Things which do not eat very well
by themselves, but which ren-
nasturtiums, and such vegetables for pickles
and relishes as should be grown in every
garden. How many farm gardens in Ful
ton county have parsley, marjoram, sum-
mer savory thyme, caraway, sage, mints,
fennel, dill, coriander, mustard, etc. All
of these things are of easy culture, and it
pays to grow them.
A GREAT DEPARTMEXT.
Very many of our politicians almost ig
nore the agriculture of Georgia—do not
seem to realize the fact that it is the leading
industry of the state. They do not seem to
realize '-he fact that the future prosperity,
and glory of the state depends on her agri
culture. What would become of the com
mercial, manufacturing and financial great
ness of Georgia without this industry?
why, it is their main support. If it fails
they are all depressed by it. Our agricul
ture should be made one of the great de-
partments of the state government It
sltould be as carefully looked after, as jeal
ously watched, and as liberally dealt with
as any other department

A POOR FARMER
How many of them there are In the coun
try. Go on their farms—what a lonely, de
serted appearance the dwelling house pre
sents. The out-houses are in a dilapidated
condition: wagons, plows, agricultural im
plements hang on fences or stand In open
yards, unprotected from the weather; grass
fields dried up; cattle looking hungry, and
crops generally presenting the appearance
of having been miserably cultivated.
FRUIT TREES.
It isoften. the case that you 'hear the
owner of an orchard, or of fruit trees, say:
I cannot tell why, but my trees are not
doing well. Tb» trouble is in the man and
not the trees. Go look at some of the fruit
trees on the farms in Fulton county and it
is evident that they are literally being
starved to death. Grass and weeds are per
mitted to grow up and press compactly
about the roots and lower part.of the trees
with no loosening of the soil, nor any ap
plication of manure. Can such trees be ex
pected to yield much or good fruit? The
soil needs stirring, wants the aid of invig
orating fertilisers and pruning to divest
the trees of superabundant wood.

examining into the affairs of the comp
troller general’s office. There are a hundred
rumors afloat of the most astounding char
acter. and while nobody appears to know
anything positively, yet everybody pretends
to know something. And those who know
least do most of the winking and blinking
that is taken for a sure sign that "the devil
is to be to play” and we are upon the eve of
the explosion of something peculiarly hor
rible and stinking.
THE PREVIOUS REPORTS
made by the joint spedal committee of the
bouse and senate which investigated the
alleged wild land frauds, and which reports
were referred, with the voluminous testi
mony taken, to the house special commit
tee, have given rise to various opinions with
reference to the standing of affairs
in the office of the comptroller-general.
Those who know Washington L. Goldsmith,
his friends and acquaintances, cannot be
lieve that he has been guilty of the grave
wrongs which are whispered and hinted
against him. They construe the reports of

der in a muddy barn-yard. A short pas

food, and the only shelter in winter being a
fence corner, or the trees in the field, will

cows.
CABBAGE WORMS.
An experienced gardener uses the follow
ing remedy with great success: Make a
strong solution of lime water; pour it over
the cabbage in the rooming; if the lime
water is made strong there will be no live
worms left that the water touches.
GRAPE ROT.
Daring the past week we have received
two communications asking for remedies
for grape rot.
»e have repeatedly stated in The Con

Once In awhile some grape grower has sup

Atlanta, August2.1879.
There are no changes In the bond and sto
avowed. There is considerable excitement
in comcquence of the British ministers
interference with tbe Japanese quarantine
regulations. The cholera prevails in the
south of the empire and a strict
quarantine has been ordered for Yoko-
homa. The American minister ordered the
Americans to comply with the regulations.
The British minister asserts his right to
break the quarantine. The German minis
ter supports him. All other diplomatic
representatives are indifferent except the
Russian minister, who sides with the Uni
ted States minister.
The reception to ex-President Grant in
Tokio was unprecedented in Japanese
history. In addition to demonstrations
by ^ tbe government, citizens have given
lavish entertainments on a sumptuous
scale. Every day and night there were
fresh novelties for his diversion.
General Grant had an audience with the
emperor on July fourth. His majesty,
alluding happily to the coincidence of the
date, said that the sole obstacle to har
mony was caused by the demeanor of Eng
lish officials, who persistently keep aloof
from General Grant, and decline to give
salutes or recognition.
General Grant, after visiting various
points, -will sail for Yezo. He will start
for America the last week in August.

The general market for the past week has been
comparatively quiet and has, for the most part,
shown a less degree of action. The sole of futures
has been limited, and the tendency, as reported,
of a downward nature. Local transactions with
the exception of to-day (Saturday) have been
very fair. The close of the Liverpool market for
to-day haa hod tho effect to stop business to a
large extent, and furthermore to have caused the
rapid and unusual decline noticed upon the
boards.
New York closed weak with sales of only 76,000
bales.
The Liverpool eotton exchange closed until
