Address of Rob. 1. McDowell Before
the Carolina Fair Association, April
10th, 1880.
(CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY'S ISSUEi)
The working should commence as
soon as the cotton is up, or if the ground
has been run together by hard rains
should be harrowed as soon as the seed
sprouts to break the crust. It should
first be cut into chops with the hoe,
leaving three or four stalks in a bunch.
It should not be reduced to a stand till
the heart leaf puts out, and the dangejk
of dying out is over. Then commeneea
the most difficult and important opera
tion its cultivation. -The young
grass 'must then be taken oat, to insure
its rapid growth, but is done frequently
so mskilfuily as to ratar4 its growjth,
by breaking the ydurtg'rdotlets now so
tender and imperfectly set. Some hands
will cutaway the earth.leaving as much
as one, inch of the- roots exposed, W htch
will cause them to Dena over or ian on
their side. That will put the plant
back fiv-of $en days iri its growth. AI
negro was once put to work to attend a
young boar pig, who broke out some of
his teeth, as he was disposed to be vi-'
cious. The master complained that the
hog was not thriving. "Yes, Massa.it is
true, but as soon as iris teeth groWs out,
he will soon recover." It is just so with
the young cotton, it will recover the ef
fects of its broken roots as soon as new
ones aye put out to absorb the nutriment
In the soil. Young hands, in fact all,
should be watched or they will do more
harm than good, as they are apt not on
ly to leave its roots exposed, but cut out
the cotton with the grass, thus destroy
in 'tte'st,fTOrlwMcb. thttttls no

the hoe cannotrbeset ashie; as no in
strumeni has yet beep invented to . thin
out cotton or separatethe young grass
or weeds. Advancements hate l)een
made in facilitating the cultivation "bf
all crops except young cotton. All cot
ton chopiers put on the market have
proven utter failures. The old practice
of the hand with the hoe must still be
used. It is that alone that puts a check
on a speedy overproduction for?the
amount put under cultivation will be
limited by the labor at command which
is limited at the South, and it cannot be
well brought from abroad for various
reasons. So its increased production
will be controlled by the labor question,
now so unsettled. So but little reliance
can be put in the reports about an in
creased area, as all generally put in ev
ery year as much as they can work, and
sometimes more.
There is a difference in the practice
of planters as to the time when the cul
tivation should end. Some stop early
in July, others continue up till August,
while in latitudes further South, it is
continued after picking begins. It may
be laid down as a safe rule, its working
should be continued till the weeds and
grass are all eradicated. The damage
done to cotton by late plowing or work
ing is braking its lateral roots, which
will, if not interrupted, stretch out in
search of food from three to four feet,
which I found to be the case by exami
nation where the last plowing was per
formed by the sweep. Cotton, at that
stage of its growth, needs all its roots
to supply material to perfect its fruit,
the most critical period of its existance.
It is well known that corn cannot be
plowed with impunity at the silking
stage, as too many of its lateral roots
are broken, causing it to fire or turn
yellow. Cotton may not be injured to the
same extent as it has tap roots, but still
every root broken retards its growth.
My experience is that the turning plow
should not be used in its cultivation but
once and that the first plowing, that
nothing should interfere with its rapid
development in this climate where the
chief growth must be made in July and
August. Nature in her operations
shows that much accumulation of earth
about the roots of a tree after obtaining
a certain size will prove its death, as
one set of roots perish before a new set
can be put forth, being covered deeper
than the nature of the tree requires.
So covering the roots of plants by the
turning plow or their breakage will
amount to the same thing, checks their
growth temporarily at least.
The question is frequently asked, is
topping col ton beneficial ? I have made
many experiments on that subject. No
general rule can be laid down, for some
times beneficial effects result by check
ing its weed and putting its strength
into the lateral branches and tlra form
ing fruit, while at other times, ho eood
can be seen. If the cotton is well load
ed with fruit by the middle' of Aueu&t
with a fair size of weed, topping will an
swer but little purpose, as its crowth
will be checked by its fruit appropria
ting all its nourishment, and if the sea
son should be a little dry the growth
will then be stopped. I have topped
with great advantage, andif ddne in the
middle of August when the cotton is in
a growing condition and not loaded
with fruit, will do no harmeverrthougfc
is may enecc no good, jso it ist a ques-J
n 1 'i rv (tttnv nil 4
I need not go into the question of rust
u AtoLsvrj. aiici All
or the boll worm, as neither ever in
jures our cotton to excite any anxiety. IA
nave had a little rust on fresh lands
which was checked bv rains, and nn
lands disposed to be spouting or too
wet.
;vjOotton was styled king of commerce
before the war,: but as the Sorth seem-
c iu uiu&yei WiLUUUl 11,-llB Line u
kingship wa greatly Impaired. That
can easily be explained. If peace "had
prevailed during such a dearth of cot
ton, there would have been, ix hqwl of
distress among those who are directly
And indirectly sustained by the manu
facture of cotton, giving life and activ
ity to so many branches of industry.
The war supplied that deficiency by
giving employment to that class in man
ufacturing arms, clothing,' and feeding
the soldiers, being paidi)y. tlie govern
ment by greenback money made out of
paper po that end, iwhich was thfamen
vuuig as oorrowiiiginontyftoyuatain?
iier people, mere was during that
whole period no material wealth made.
Hence their delusion, they did not feel
the dearth of cotton as they prospered
without it by that artificial creation of
money. If the war had lasted a few
years longer their, accuniulatetj, debt
would have bankrupted the nation. That
debt, great as it is, has been, carried
ciueuy uy wie coiion or tne oouin, giv'

It is frequeritlv said that the hav. but-

of the South. That may be true, but the
one is consumed chiefly by her own peo-

who advise you to plant less cotton.
The plariterought to know what will
fnaka him the best return. Some lands
will make 1,000 pounds of seed cotton
to the acre, which wyuld yield aont lfc
bushels of corn or 5;Uusiels ot wheat.
The one at present prices would bring
the others about $7 each. Would
il notitf o the. -tfighti of fplly for the
Wner to ptaht anything but cotton on
such lands? There are lands where
the reversed that practieq- -slmdd be
followed. Let each planter Ueorern
ed accordingly.
It might not-be to the interest of
everv planter to raise all his meat, as it
might be bought cheaper than he could J
make it. Corn at 75 cents': will! makfo
less than the money would buy at 7
cents, unless there were, other means
to feed the hogs than the crib. Every
planter should keep a few to consume
the waste existing on all plantations.
Stock cannot be raised with profit as
an article of commerce, with our pres
sent arrangements. Our whole system
must undergo a radical revolution be
fore that can be done with profit.
In concluding these hasty remarks, I

A FAHFUL A CT,
A mother Takes Her Infant, Six
iTloutb Old, and Cut Its Throat
From Ear to Ear.
Augusta Chronicle.
Last Sunday afternoon, between 4
and 5 o'clock, Mrs. Emily Carter, the
wife of a well-known and highly re
spected citizen, Mr. Samuel Carter, who
resides four miles from Thomson, took
her little infant, six months old, and
carried it to the woods, a short distance
from the house, and then, with her hus
band's razor, cut its throat from ear to
ear, leaving it lying in the woods.
When her husband was returning from
Sunday school he saw her coming from
the woods. Upon reaching the house
he asked her where Was the baby. She
first answered that she.jad given it
away, but afterwards said she had cut
its throat and left it down in the woods.
Mr. Carter immediately sent for one or
two of his-neighbofs,' and searched for
the child. HeNsoon found it dead, with
its little throat cut. Mrs. Carter is per-
rectiy insane, blie was carried to jail
yesterday morning, and will probably
be sent to tlie asylum.
Resuscitation of a Convict YVbo Had
Been Hanged.
A most extraordinary case of resusci
ation is reported to have taken place
at Raab, Germany, on the 14th inst.
iaab is about 67 miles from I'esth. and
was formerly a fortified city. Itis built
on the river of the same name, and is a
place 6f some commercial importance.
The tory that coined from there reads
more like one ot the grim conies drola-
tiques of Balzac than.- an pecurreuce of
the present day. ' A young convict
named Takacs, who had murdered two
women, was hanced. He was about 23
years of age. After he body was cut
down and examined by the physicians
lie was pronounced extinct. As a sci
entific experiment the body .was sub
jected to an :lectrogalvanie current,
andaf ter af ew hours signs-olife were
perceptible. The resuscitated convict
completely recovered the use of his
senses, and his first actions were of vio-
ence toward the prison officials by
whom .he was surrounded. He soon
began to suffer from congestion of the
brain, and became deliripus during tlije
night.- He made fepieataifaeks vpbn
the keepers and complained ot? violent
pains, , asking from , tiineii frti&ie for
milk and water J ' Death" released Mm
finally from his sufferings. The entire
medical faculty is considerably exer
cised over the case.

j How to-extraet all the precious metals
from their ores is- a promem that has
laog taxed the resources of science. By
all the existing taetftbd$ the ' fi&ej partP
cles of the metal fail to be recovered
and lire castirway in what are .called
the-tailingsv '-This is. especially: true'bt
gold; the separation of which fromtb
ores, in its entirety, has thus far prpyed
fo.be; inseparable. " It' h,as . been; stated
n lhe Sun that Mr. Edison ha f ouhd!
out a way whereby this Waste gold can
besavedj and that a compahy has been,
formed to1 "work over, by his method,
th,e refuse of certain mines in Califor
nia. , :Tlie means- employed ly him are
said to be electricity combined with
chemical agents. It is now claimed
that M. Sebiliot, , an eminent Paris
chemist and engineer, has discovered a
process, and applied for a patent for it
at Washington, for extracting the metal
from the most refractory ores so cheap
ly that even the working of mines
abroad, that have been abandoned, may
be resumed and carried on at a profit.
The agent employed by him for reduc
ing the ores is said to be sulphuric
acid, and it is also alleged that the
manner of its application is such that
machines can be constructed that
would be capable of treating froin. fifty
t6 one hundred tons of ore per day.
"The working of the process," we are
told, "is very economical, requires ho
speeial skill and the employment of
very little labor. All that is needed is
a moderate consumption of fuel and
pyrites for producing the sulphuric
acid." The process is said to be appli
cable to all ores, and while the cost is
"from one-tenth to one-fourth of what
is' now generally paid," its peculiar
value lies in the fact that it extracts
the whole of the precious metals, and
preserves all the baser metals, as" lead,
for instance, in a merchantable form.
Itis announced that the merits of this
process are about to be subjected to the
most searching tests. If it does al 1 that
M, Sebiliot claims for it,- tbe discovery
throws that of Edison entirely into the
shade; for while h9 proposes to deal
only with the minute particles of gold
that the ordinary methods of extraction
have, heretofore failed to, recover, M.
Sebiliot Asserts that the. whole of the
metal, in any kind of ores submitted to
it, may be recovered.
A Thrilling- Escape.
One of the most thrilling adventures
in the auiiats ofmining happened at
th&Zeile mine, near Jackson, Cal., on
Wednesday last. At the morning shift
NicolauNOce, an Italian, with a num
ber of other miners, went to work on
.the 240-foot level. They had been at
work but a few minutes when the pre
monitory symptoms of a coming cave,
such as the creaking of timbers and
fatting of small pieces of rock, told them
that it was time "to seek safer quarters.
In withdrawing they were not forget
ful of Noce, shouting to him to get out
of danger's way. He, however, did not
realize the natur of the trouble. The
cries of his comrades conveyed the idea
that something was wrong, and he re
treated to ward the face of the tunnel.
No sooner had he got out of the way
than the'erash came. One-half of the
ledsejiext.tQ the hanging. wall came
down with a thundering sound, crush
ing the heavy Umbers like match sticks,
the cave involving about thirty feet
along the ledge, rearing .an effectual
barrier between Noce and his compan
ions and libertyk It was not long before
the awful nature of his situation
dawned upon Noce. He was cut oft" in
the tunnel, a lone prisoner in one of the
recesses of the mine, with hundreds of
tons of rock and debris choking up the
only possible outlet from his cell. From
the cave the tunnel was sixty feet in
length, which would afford air for a day
or two. He was well provided with
candles, having two or three with him.
and he began to contemplate the pros
pect of having to subsist by eating
them. Meanwhile the escaped miners
had communicated with Superinten
dent Rose, and within fifteen minutes
a hundred men were picking a tunnel
to the rescue. About 7 o'clock in the
evening an aperture was made, and
Noce crawled out of his "tomb for a
day."
Woman's Rights.
An important step in the progress of
woman's rights is involved in the verdict
of a Brooklyn jury on Saturday after
noon, giving Mrs. Breimann 32.500
damages for the loss of her husband's
affections through the wiles of the
widow Paasch. The case is apparently
without precedent. Men from time im
memorial have had the privilege of
bringing suit for the recovery of satisfac
tion in damages for the leading astray
of their wives and daughters, under the
legal fiction of loss of service. When
the husband was thus victimized, how
