The judge and the tmlifilor and
the Alison contingent left on the
early train and the towu once
more became itself.
While the jury was out the de

Clyde liowman and J. Frank Ni
veu lie di.siburged on the ground
that they had tend nod at the inves
tigation licfore Judge Xeal. Itow
man and Xiven stilted at the inves
ligation that they were not irceut
id the lynching and knew nothing
or it. 1 he motion wax granted and
the two defeudantM discharged from
custody. Kroiii this order the State
ulcalcd. With tluno two par
doncd for testifying at the investi
gation and the two acquitted at the
trial heie, there remain lit men uu
der indictment, three of whom es
caMi right after the lynching and
have never been captured.
All the rest of the defendants
were required to give bonds of .",
Olio each inside of 1.1 days for their
appearance at the next January
term of I'liion county Superior
Court.
After the verdict was announced
Judge Peebles reuested the juror
to take their seats and said as there
were only two moie days of this
special term, the regular term ol
SuH'iior Court lieginning on
Monday, there would not lie lime
to try another case. "Hut," lie
continued, "if we had the time I
would not try another one of these
cases. There is so much feeling
here in favor of the defeudantM
that the trial of any more rases
now would lie a farce. I suggest to
the solicitor that he move for a re
moval to Home other county, and
ls-fore he begins the trial he had
lietter send I'inkcrton detectives to
that county and see if a aeutimcnt
in favor of the defendants has been
worked up. Lynching will never
cease iu North Carolina tint i 1 there
is a stroug, healthy sentiment
ugaiiist iu There is no doubt that
this lynching was committed and
we have L'.'l men indicted here for
the crime, yet a great many well
known citizens of Anson county
have admitted here on the stand
that they had contributed money
to the defense. There is a strong
popular feeling here, too, iu their
favor and I don't see any use iu
prosecuting them further here
now."
The repetition of pretty much
the same evidence as in the Jones
case Iwcanie very tedious. It was
concluded at noon on Wednesday.
The lawyers' spewluw ami the
judge's charge took up the remain
der of the time till 5 o'clock Tim in
day.
All the lawyicre for the State,
Messrs. liennett, Itedwine nut) Rob

Messrs. A. M. Stack, K. W. l-eiu

! The Farmers' Institutes held by
I lecturers from the State lcpai t
iiient of Agriculture, at Marshville
jauil Carutel last Wednesday aud
'Thursday, were highly succewtfut.
At Marshville a splendid audience
assembled aud the day was note
worthy, liesidea tin ieakers from
abroad, local speakers told their
exN-riences. There are two Bets of
lecturers going over the State. A
uew aud most valuable feature of
the work this year is the institute
held for woiueu lu connect lou with
the men's meetings. The party of
ladle doing this work are well pre
pared for it aud make it highly in
(cresting. Mrs. Hollowed, the
witty old lady mho leads the land
of woiueu, said that they ev peeled
to have better wc-.dts from their
work than the uieu have had from
theirs.
At Carutel the crowd mas not
large, but it was composed of good
farmers of that neighlxu hood aud
many from a distance, who took
great Interest in the discussions.
Ir. Hutler, the director of the in
stitutes, mho is doing so much for
the State; Dr. Hteveus of the A.
aud M. College, and author of the
textbook on Agriculture used lu
the public schools; and the vener
able Col. K. J. Kcdding, for many
years director of the Georgia exe
rimeut statiou, but mho retired
last January on reaching his 70th
year, mere at Carmel anil took part
iu the iustitute, as also did Dr.
W. J. McCleiidon, a highly success
ful farmer of Anson county.
l'erhas the most valuable fea
ture of the day was Col. Itedding's
talk ou oat culture. He says that
the farmers of the South have in
this plant the most valuable and
cheaiest food for young growing
animals and work stis'k known to
man. Scientific feeding tests prove
that or" and a third bushels of oats,
or forty two pounds, is epial to a
bushel, or fifty six pounds, of com.
The comparative analysis of oats
aud com are as follows: Of pro
teins, the sulwdance that goes to
make muscle aud nerve and tissue
iu work stock aud growing ani
mals, corn has T.i'ti tier cent., while
oats have !.L'0 jer cent. CuiImi-
bytlrales, or the starchy substances,
corn has tit.7, oats 47.. 'I but this
excess in corn is a hindrance rath
er than a help. The fats are prac
tically the same, i.'-l in corn aud
1.2 iu oats.
Iu the light of these well known
facts, why do not Southern farmers
give the preference to outs, which
can be produced much cheaper.
and can also Is- mude in the winter
when the land needs a cover crop,
and in time to grow another valu
able crop ou the same land! One
reason for giving corn the prefer
ence is that it was the plant found
most useful by the early settlers
and we have got used to it. Thi
ol her is that there has been danger
of the oats being killed if sown in
the full by the cold, and if sown iu
the ppring by the drouth or rust.
Hut Col. Kedfling says that he pre
fcrs fall sown oats: that if they are
sown in the open furrow they w ill
nut lie killed, aud if good seed un
secured, the Appier vuriety prefer
ably, the crop will be safe and sure.
Sow in October orNovcmlicr, plow
the land well, get jond seed, use
the open furrow drill, put some
thing like LHMI pounds of acid phos
phate, 201) pounds of kainit, U'OO
itoumis of cotton seed meal, aud
then apply aliout 75 pounds of ni
trate of soda broadcast in the
spring, and you will make oats.
"lint runners do not give the ont
crop a fair chauce. Kvery farmer
hits his decided conviction as to the
proper time to plant corn and cot
ton aud other crops, according to
latitude or the local conditions, and
he bends every effort fb plant these
at the right time, lint when he
thinks of oats almost 'any old
time' will do for sowing the seeds.
Again, every farmer is more or less
alive to the importance of having
gixsl, sound seed, of a prolific va
riety of com, or cotton, or cowpeas.
He doesn't plant popcorn, or sugar
corn, or even a Northern lield va
riety, for a geuernl crop; nor Sea
Island, nor Brazilian, nor common
'ginhouse' seed, to produce a full
crop of cotton. Hut when a time
conies when he has nothing else to
do he says to himself, 'I M ete I'll
sow some oats'; he gets hi J of al
most any old seed, or Texas seed
oats, badly mixed with Johnson
grass seed, or anything that he can
gut in the way of seed oids that
give pro:iise of 'coming up.' He
may sow them very well some
tin.es he does but frequently he
will scatter on the rough, unplowed
and corn-stalky lield a scant bushel
of such seed, give it 'a lick and a
promise,' drag a brush over it and
let it go.
"I have no doubt that a large
proportion of the seed oats that
come to us from the States of Mis
nouri, Kansas and other States
north ami west of us is from spring
sown crops. My oliservation is,
that of a variety of oat that has
been sown successively and for
many years in the spring, the
plants will have in a large degree
lost their power to resist cold. I
consider it of vital imxirtance to
sow only seed whose history is well
known, or reliably avouched, on
these points. Yet it is a fact that
many a farmer, after a spasmodic
c flort to grow a crop or oats, ami
with a fair degree of success, mill
fail to save seed, and will rely on
'gifting me some seed oats' wheu
the time to sow has arrived.
"Under thene circumstance it ia
uot surprising that the oat crop of
the South is so iiwiguiticaut iu area,
I ield H-r acre aud quality, aud that
i it is not a more imputar crop.
! "I mih tosav iust here that, uu-
' der proper conditions, uiont of which
are under our control or subject to
modifying precautious, the oat crop
way lie made a more certain crop
thau corn on the ordinary upland
soils of the South. Although not
I able to prexciit close statemeuts of
comparative yields of these two
I cereals, I will say that my eierl-
ence oi i ue last sixieeu years war
rants the statement that, 'one year
with another, the yield in weight
of clean oats will exceed that of
corn on the same or similar soil by
about 1 4 tier ceut. In other words,
for every bushel of M pounds of
com there would be a yield of two
bushels, or (l pounds, of clean oats.
Moreover, the two bubW of oats
w ill uot have cost more than oue
half as much mt bushel as the cost
per bushel of the corn. To put it
at ill cleaier: Supiiose the oue bushel
of corn cost 2 cents to produce it,
or .VI cents ier hundred pounds,
then the two bushels of oats will
cost uot more than 1 1 cents er
bushel, or about 4:1 cents per hun
dred pounds. So, theu, as we have
seeu that 42 pounds of shelled oats
are equal (for horses and mules) to
."ti pounds of com, theu the pro
duct of one average acre of oats is
equal to the product of 1.70 acres
of the same laud in com, and the
cost of the one acre in outs would
lie li.ss and the cost of the t.7o
acres of land iu cum would be about
10.21."
The Notation that Makes Money.
Dr. W. J. Mcliendon, a well
known fanner of Anson comity,
who is assisting iu the institute
work, was the next siieaker, his
subject licing cotton culture. He
said that cotton is our money crop
and must continue to be, but me
must learn how to make it at a
profit instead of at a loss. Rota
tion of crops, deep plowing, the
use of legumes aud the getting ol
humus iu the soil, would bring up
any of our lauds to a high state ot
lertility. It now cost aUiut eigh
teen dollars to grow an acre of cot
ton, and the average yield iu the
South brings aliout twenty dollars
per acre. Improve your farming
and get fifty dollui-s an acre for it.
It can lie done easily. The follow
ing diagram for a crop rotatiou is
given. Divide your laud up in
three sections. If after two rounds
of this rotation you have plowed
deep aud followed it faithfully, you
mill make more on one section of
your farm thau you are uow mak
ing ou till.

The land must lie plowed a little
deeper each time iu the fall till a
lepth of twelve inches is reached.
It will be noticed that each time iu
the rotation cotton follows peas.
Ir. Mclx-ndon gave his plan ol
preparing the stubble for cotton.
hen the peas are mowed he turns
the stubble with a big plow; he
uses the rotary disc plow altogeth
er. Then sows about half bushel
of rye to the acre aud cuts it with
a disc harrow. This gives a cover
crop in the winter, prevents the
laud from leeching, and gives veg
etable matter to turn back into the
land. When time comes for pre
paring for cotton, he cuts two ways
with a disc harrow. That turns in
the growing rye and leaves the
land smooth and mellow. Theu he
is ready for laying off. This he
does at the same time as putting iu
the guano, running a small scooter
ou the distributor. Then he strad
dles this furrow with his harrow
set so that it w ill throw tip the lied
atone furrow. He is theu ready
for the seed drill, which comes
along in alsiut two weeks. If the
land has licen plowed deep you can
put iu as much fertilizer as you
please. Of course, the value of
live stock to consume all the rough
ness that cau lie made and to make
all the manure ossiblc, was em
phasized. I r. Mcljeudon says that
this system has made land which
he has (hat was sold at 7.1 cents
iter acre produce nearly 10 bush
els of corn per acre.
Pulling Fodder Out of Date.
After dinner, which was a most
bountiful and hospitable spread by
the ladies of the community, the
audience reassembled and Dr. Hut
ler spoke on the subject of pulling
fodder. Nearly half of the culti
va'ed land iu Ninth Carolina is de
voted to corn, and it is grow u prin
cipally as a feed plant. It is there
fore iuimrtaiit to get the hcM re
sults out of it. The chemical tests
and the actual feed texts prove thai
the graiu of the coru is aUiut half
its value, and the blade, the stalk
aud the slun k coiupris the other
hair in actual value, let most ol
thiii half is Wiistcd. Not only is it
acted but the lalsir required to
pull fodder and theu the corn is
moie thau mould Is- required to cut
the corn at the ginuud anil save it
all. l!eieat-d exM-rimeiits have
proven that pulling the fishier de
crease the yield of com iier acre
six bushels ou good land. For this
Ions of six bushels you get an aver
age of six hundred Niunds of fisl
der. Since the feed value of six
bushels of com is nearly equal to
that or .:). miuih!s ot lisl ler, it is,
therefore, apparent that if me pay
for the fishier we obtain by a loss
in coru and lose the labor of pull
ing the fodder besides, it does uot
pay to pull fishier. In laet, al
though half the feed value of the
corn plaut lie iu the stover, it
would pay U tter to let all of this
stover rot iu the field thau to pull
the fodder ut the time it is usually
done.
Why docs this Ions iu weight of
shelled cornnccuif Simply because
when the leaves are removed from
the plant all further work or growth
is cllectually stopped. The corn
may dry up and get hard, but noth
ing more is added to the graiu.
The leaves of a plant may Is- lik
ened to the lungs of ail auiuial, and
when you take the leaves oil' acorn
plaut you stop its work about as
effectually as you do when you take
the lungs out of au annual. More
over, the fodder is usually pulled
a week or leu days earlier than the
proper time for cutting the corn.
Agai-i, when the coru is cut and
shocked, the leaves licing left ou
the plaut aud the cut end ol the
stulk placed on the moist ground.
the ear is still further develocd
from the material already in the
plant.
The proper m ay to save the corn
plant is to cut it at the ground
when a third or a half of the leaves
are dry, a little later than the or
dinary fodder pulling time. All
com should lie cut, preferably by
machinery, but that will be some
time oil'. Fanners could bank to
gether and buy the harvester and
shredder like they do threshing
machines, or if the farmers wanted
their corn shredded bud enough,
somebody would buy the machines
and make a public business of it.
Hut if it cannot lie cut by machin
ery and shredded, it is lietter to
cut it by hand and pull the corn
oil by hand. It should lie cut and
shocked iu the lield so that the
mater cannot get to it, tightly tied
w ith cords ut the top, so that it can
uot blow down or leak. Corn aver
aging thirty bushels per acre can
be cut and shocked by machinery
at less than a dollar and a half per
acre, and almut the same price by
hand, perhaps a little more. If it
is shredded stock will cut NS per
ceut. of the stover. They will not
eat so much if it is uot .shredded.
Dr. Stevens told aliout plant dis
eases, and at night gave an illus
trated magic lantern lecture on im
proveiuents in agriculture.
The ladies' meetings, w hich were
carried on separately iu the church,
were very important. Mrs. llollo
mell of (ioldshoro spoke on the
home, and pleaded for more oppor
tunities for enjoyment and recre
ation for the women. Miss Caul of
Raleigh discussed home nursing,
and also foods and their cooking.
Miss Moore, who is sent out by the
Audubon Society, spoke about
birds aud pointed out their great
usefulness and the foolishness and
wickedness of killing them.
