The men are now in Wilkesboro jail, but Instructions have been Sent to bring Lane to Greensboro jail for safe-keping.

The pea crop is better than usual; the sweet potato crop late and not very good; second crop of Irish pota toes a failure owing to heat and drouth, which rotted them. People generally are through sowing fodder, but the fodder crop was poor, and not a great deal saved. The hay crops are medium good, but the sav ing of that crop has just fairly begun, and it depends on the weather as to whether a good crop will be saved. There Is not much sickness with man or beast in the county at this time, and the on)y thing to mar the happiness of our people just now is the "clue bug" and the Democratic party or, rather, their ravages upon the property of the people of Pasquo tank County.

N. u.. sept. l. uuring a severe thunder-storm in this section yesterday evening lightning struck Mrs. M. M. McEachern at her home, six miles north of this place, injur ing her foot to some extent, but per haps not seriously. Mr. Gibson, who was in tne room at tne time, was struck also, his shoe being torn from his foot and literally torn into shreds. He was not injured physically, but, of course, was 'shocked. One of th' heaviest rains this section has had for a long time came last night, pouring in torrents for several hours, almost without even slight cessation. Much damage wsis done the crops, especial ly cotton, which for the past ten days has been getting frequent showers, and was suffering from them. Wash out on all the railroads delayed trains to-day, but the actual damage to the farms is problematical, although it is safe to say that all cotton has been seriously hurt from the rains. Aviator Drowned in Lake Near Char lotte. Charlotte, N. C, Seut. 2. In the presence of thousands of spectators, among which were many women and children, attracted by the announce ment of a moonlight balloon ascen sion with pyrotechnic display, S. C. Brown, a Michigan aviator, fell into an artificial lake at Lakewood Park, three miles from Charlotte, to-night and was drowned before help could reach him. Bryan Will Wag the Party Again. Charlotte Chronicle (Dem.) The Democratic party must nomi nate Colonel Bryan again, or nomi nate the man he selects for the Presi dency. At Columbus', Ohio, recently he made the flat-footed statement: "I Intend to devote all my time between now and the nomination to finding out things about the candidates for the Democratic nomination for Pres ident. I know all of the leading men of the party, those who have hinder ed and those who have helped it. When the time comes to name the man for the candidacy, I will not be silent." Now, what are you going to do about that? Evidence All in and the Lawyers Will Begin Arguing the Case To-day Beulah Binford WTas Not Called. Chesterfield C. H., Va., Sept 5. With unexpected brevity both the Commonwealth and the defense in the trial of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., indicted for the murder of his wife, closed the evidence in the case short ly after 6 o'clock to-night. Judge Watson announced that court would adjourn until Thursday morning, to morrow to be devoted to argument of I counsel with the court as to the in structions to be given the jury before the argument nroner is Degun on Thursday. And when court adjourned to-night Beulah Binford, the so-called girl in the case, alleged by the prosecution to have been the motive for the mur der by Beattie of his young wife, still was in jail without having been called to the stand. Another figure, Paul Beattie, cou sin of the accused, whose confession concerning the purchase of a shot gun for Henry four days before the homicide led to the building of the case for the prosecution, likewise was kept in jail, but both he and the Bin ford girl are likely to be released to morrow. Young Beattie Confident. During the week an unexpected witness for the defense was put on the stand and he stated that it was his machine on which the boys saw a lady standing on the running board and the owner working on the car. Others testified they saw a bearded man on the road that afternoon. Beattie claims it was this man who shot his wife. Young Beattie feels confident that the jury will give him his freedom. Souring the Land. On one occasion a good Tanner came to me and said: "Last spring I plowed under a heavy crop of crimson clover, planted my corn and got nothing. My land was soured and my crop was killed." Another said he had plowed under a heavy crop of peavines late in the summer, sow ed wheat, and got no stand. The land soured and the wheat failed to germinate. Still another said he plow ed under a heavy crop of vines and weeds which rendered the soil so acid he was unable to grow a crop for three or four years afterward. We could give a long list of names of men who by their own practical ex perience have proven to themselves conclusively that the use of green manure positively does sour the land and henders it unfertile for a long time. Now, if one is out for a diffi cult job, just let him attempt to dis suade these men from the belief that their land has been soured by the use of green manure. They stick to the old idea as tenaciously as to their right arms. They feel that their theory is based on practical experi ence (and what is better in the sub stantiation of any theory than prac tical experience. Nothing, to be sure.) Now, we have all had experiences We know that certain effects follow certain causes. Moreover, we in stinctively assign some cause for ev ery effect. Frequently without tak ing the trouble to investigate the fact on which our conclusions are based. Admitting that all facts are covered by some theory, one should always check his' theory by his facts and strive to bring his facts In line with the correct theory. We often sustain loss by assigning the wrong cause to an observed effect. The farmers referred to above plowed the green manure under, planted the crop and received no re turn. There was some cause, to be sure, for the failure of the crop. Some one guessed the green stuff soured the soil and further investi gation was generally thought useless. Some advised the use of lime to cor rect this acid condition. Few farm- - t J A 1 ers, nowever, were dispose iu puy enough lime to correct the large amount of acid they could Imagine would be developed in the decay of so large an amount of green manure plowed under. The result was that they did not use the green manure, x.. es and cats made by the mounted police. the cl.max of a riot tta: utxz v 10 clock this morr.i&g n iti ilte moist under the bord. cllr Q4 U: nig su DETTEQ TUAll SPJWI1C3.

But what has this to do with the "souring of the land." Nearly every thing. The phenomenon called the "souring of tbe soil" is nearly always based on tbep rlnclples outlined above. Instead of using the board let us plow under a six or eight ton crop of green clover or cowpeas, eight or ten inches deep.

Littleton College has a limited number of $100 scholarships for ac ceptable applications who wish to make special preparation for Chris tian work and teaching and .who are without means with which to secure this preparation elsewhere. For fur ther information, address J. M. Rhodes, Littleton, N. C. While the boys in the corn con test in this county are growing an acre for demonstration purposes, Charles D. Benbow is growing it for bigger business. On the banks of South Baffalo, two miles south of town, Mr. Benbow has thirty-five acres that is said by parties who may be classed as experts, as the finest ever grown In this section. It is all bottom land and the season has help ed greatly in causing a fruitful yield, for the drouth had little effect on it. But there is another reason. Deep plowing in preparing the ground helped; in addition he used a hun dred pounds of fertilizer to the acre, while it was worked every five days, regardless of the weather. But what is of more interest, Mr. Benbow purchased the prize corn brought in by the boys last winter. There were thirty-five or thlrty-slx of these boys and each had a bushel and he took it all. Out of each bush el he selected the best ears for seed and the crop on South Buffalo is the result. It is estimated that the yield will be close to one hundred bushels to the acre. A farmer who visited the place yesterday after noon stood in his tracks and placed his hands on eighteen ears It is no exaggeration to say that the average is two ears to the stalk. In fact, three rows, without regard to select ing the best, were counted and the yield was a little more than two ears to each stalk. In some instances the corn is so heavy that the stalk has been weighted down to the ground. Greensboro Record. a. m. Dally for Wilse Washington and Norfolk.
