A Clue U Obtained. "For ninety days we heard noth ing. Try as we did we could get no sort of clue. One day, however, a ot-t;il card canto, ashing if auy reward had been ollered lor the ar rwt of the assassin of MissTltomp son. The card was mailed at Grassy Creek, Alleghany county. I got into my buggy aud went to Grassy Creek and iniUiredof the postmas ter and others concerning recent visitors. I was told that two strait gers had been there about the lime the raid was mailed, and one of them had left a foreign coin for a quarter. Out of fiilK) in coins that were tnkcu from the Thompson horn? the only one that the owner could identify was the one I found in Alleghany. 1 knew that I was on the right trail, but at first it seemed impossible to get any clue as to the names of the strange men. lint at I talked to the older ersons I noticed that a bright eyed li year old lad followed too and listened intently to every word that was mid, and finally at a lull in I lie on vtrs.it ion he dislattd: 'I know their names.' "'What were they!" I asked. "'I.ige and Harrison,' was the reply, -for the tall man suid to thi ol her, 'Harrison, play a piece on the banjo for tho chaMt,' and the short one answered, 'All right, Lige.' The Iniy then took ns to a plunk on a bridge where Lign cut his initials, 'K. I tV We knew then that Lign Church, a notorious fellow, who lived in Wilkes, nbout thirty miles from the Thompson home, wits one of the party. Later we hud Dockery arested on suspi cion and inside of a week he rou fesHcd. He and Church traveled all night to get to Thompson's. They went by a rouiidalHint route t eaca detection. After enter ing the house and nibbing it of its horded wealth, they went to the woods to divide the spoils. As they worked, the old lady, who saw them, said, 'Lige Church, I know you.' Having pondered over this Lige declared, after dividing D.tck- ery his sham of the money, 'That old woman knows me. I will have to destroy that evidence.' Miss Thompson was murdered. I.lge Church Surrenders. When this came out Church sturendcreil, with tho understand ing that he was to get tho reward. It was discovered tltut he hud con cealt-d in his shoe sole, between two strips of leather, a burglar's lile which ho intended to use in making an erica po. 'Ltgn was given a hearing be fore ajustiee of the itcucn. Dock ery related his story, just us he had told it in jail, ninl we corrolioraU'd it as we went along. Ho said that on the way to Alexander ironi Wilkes, Lige had stuck a needle in a pine stump. A runner was sent out anil the si limp and needle found. A jKulioii of the money, said the witness, was buried in a stump the stump was located but the mon ey had Urn removed. "liut with all this, Llge t nurcn tried to prove nu alibi aud pro duced four or five witnesses to prove that he was on the banks of the i adkiii, more than thirty miles from tho Thompson place, after midnight the morning of the day the homicide was committed. He said that the fish law ran out at 12 o'clock that night and he was wait ing on the bank to set his trap as soon as it was legal to do so. I asked him what he, a mauwhohnd been convicted of felonies and had served terms in the penitentiary, cared for such a small thing as a hVh law. His smart reply was to this effect: 'No man knows better that the way of the transgressor is hard than I, who have served seu tences for breaking the law, and when I got out the last time I made up my mind never again to otleml, not even against a hsh statute That was a very clever speech. "Llge was lioutid to court and for sale keeping was sent to .New ton, but when tho people realized that he was such a slick fellow they ditl not let the law lake its course. Lige was taken from the Catawba county jail and lynched by masked men."

Tjnrr, Committee, D. Deep Fall Plowing And the Seed Bed. S. A. Kruipp. Siecutl Ajrent in Charge. AT the commencement of the Far mers' Co operative IV-nions! ra tion work in the Southern States it was found necewetry to outline the fundamental principles of good far ming and to insist that the tillers of the soil should liectime familiar with them and practice them aa a first step in the betterment of fat in life. We have previously slated I lu-no first principles, but possibly t hey should tie more fully explained, ('reparation ol the Seed Bed. Prepare a deep ami thoroughly pulverized seed lied, well drained; break in the fall to a depth of S, 10 or VI inches, according to the soil, with implements that will not bring too much of the stiltsoil to the surface. (The foregoing depths should Ite reached gradually ). The present c of heat, air and moisture is essential to chemical and germ action in the preparation of plant foot! in the soil. The depths t which these penetnte the soil dejiend upon the depth of the plow ing, provided the soil is well drained. There is no use in plowing down iuto a subsoil full of witter. It has leen proved Iteyond ques tion that the roots of plants ene-Ir-ate the soil iWer and feed deep er in deeply plowed land. Thus, in general, it may lie stated that when the soil is plowed :1 inches deep the plants have .'I inches of ItHid; when plowed ti inches deep, I hey have t inches of fissl, and w hen plowed 10 inches deep they have 10 inches of food. The fact that the bottom portions of the plowed land are not as rieli in avail able plant food as the top portions shows the necessity of getting more air ami heat down to them by deejter tillage. The most essential condition for fertile soil is a ronslaut supply of moisture, so that a film of water can envelop the soil particles and absorb nutritive elements. The Intir roots of plants drink this for nourishment. If there is any more l hail enough to serve as films for the soil particles and capillary wa ter, there is too much and it should Ite drained oil. This can lie deter mined by digging a hole 20 inches deep. If there is standing water in tho hottoti of the hole, it indicates too much water in the soil or sub soil. The rapacity of a given soil to hold film and capillary moisture dc fiends upon how finely it is pul verized ami tiion the amount of humus in it. I'uplowcd lands re tain but little water. Thoiotighly pulverized soil ', inches deep can not store euotigh to make a crop. Iu nil Southern States there sre every year periods of drought, sometimes uot serious, but gener ally sullieieiitly protracted to re duce the crop. The remedy for this is increased storage capacity for moisture. This can be accom plished by deep and thorough till age and by filling the soil with hu mus (partly decayed vegetation). The effect of deep tillage has lteen explained. The effect of humus is to greatly increase the storage ra pacity of soils for water aud to re duce evaporation. A pound of hu mus will store seven and one half times us much moisture as a pound of sand, and the sand will lose its water by evaporation three anil one-half times more rapidly than the humus. A clay soil will store only alsiut one-fourth as much moist nre as humus, anil will lose it by evaporation twice as rapidly. Plants use an enormous quantity of water. An itcre of good corn will alisorh and evaporate during Us growth nearly to inches of wa iter. About three fouttha of this plains, and this especially applies : amount will lie required during to elevated sandy table land. Such the last seventy five days of its lands cau l helped by adding hu- growth, or at the rate of 2 2 5 in-: mus and using a winter cover crop rhes of water a mouth.

In case the land is plowed only .1 or 4 inches deep, thitugh thoroughly pulver ized, it will store an amount of moisture entirely insuflictent to supply crop requirements iu any protracted drought. These shal low and generally Horly prepared seed lcds are the principal cause of the low corn yields iu the South, and they affect the cotton yields similarly, but not so much, ticca use cotton is a more drought resisting plant thau corn. If planting is done at all, it is folly to prepare a seed bed so shallow as to bring alsiut the almost total loss of the crop seine years ami a reduced crop every year. Many farmers plow or cultivate their corn nearly as deeply as they break their land in preparing a seetl led; this leaves no space for roots in the pulverized ami aired soil. Hi Hits occupy a large space. If all the roots of a single vigorous cornstalk were placed end to end they would reach more than a mile, aud if allowed by the plowing they will till the soil to a considerable depth and feed iu all portions of it. At the Wiseonsiu Agricultural Kxperiment Station it was found that when coru was 3 feet high the roots had enct rated the soil for 2 leet and thort ighly occupied it. At maturity the roots were 4 feet deep. At this time the upper lat erals were alsittt 4 inches from the surface. What is Deep Plowing. Plowing 3, 4, 5 or ii inches deep is only common plowing. Iu our institutions nothing less than t inches is considered "deep" plow ing. We are not advocating a single plowing of S inches in depth once in two or three years, but the preparation of an X inch seetl lied thoroughly pulverized and filled with humus. It should he plowed and cross plowed to that depth, or if cross plow ing can not be safely done 011 account of hills then it should lie plowed twice in the same direction and disked thoroughly or the smoothing harrow repeatedly used. When Should This Plowing be Done? Always plow iu the full before the winter sets in; the curlier after the first of Oetolier tho better. Al ways use a cover crop of oats, bar ley, wheat, or rye if possible. Kv cry observant farmer hits noted that seeds germinate more quickly and that plant grow more rapidly on fall breaking than on spring break ing. Fall plowing reuders more plant food ready for use, while the preparation of the laud 111 the fall saves work in the spring, when ev erything on the farm is crowding. A cover crop is a net gain. It keeps the soil from washing, it tit i lizes the plant food that otherwise might escape into the air, ami it atlds humus. The soil is i in pro veil by the crop and winter grazing is provided. In plowed laud the loss of plant food is less than in tin plow ed land; more plant food may lie protlueed aud more be stored. In case a cover crop Is used the loss of plant food is slight. An objection is sometimes urged that full-plowed soli hccouies satu rated with water during the winter and remains wetter and colder litter in the spring than land left unbroken in the full. This is trne only upon land not sufficiently drained ami where tho breaking is shallow. Witter passes through deep breaking readily, and with reasonable drainage it is ready for planting earlier than lands broken in the spring. Wlieu land is nearly level and draiiiHge poor, the soil should not lie tint-broken, but left iu ridges or narrow lands alsiut ft or ti feet wide, suitable for planting, with a dead furrow lad ween. This pro vides winter drainage and keeps the pulverized soil out of the wa tor, which is important even if un broken. Deepening the Soil. The advice to go down gradually is giveu solely because the inex-lM-riciiced farmer may try to plow too deeply the first time and bring to the sin face too much of the sub soil. The best plan is to double plow; that is, to billow the break ing plow in the same furrow with a narrower plow or a scooter (with sid.s removed) aud go down as deeply as desired. Generally the disk plow may lie sent down 8 or 10 inches with impunity if the plowing is done in the fall, and es perially if the land is plowed twice or more. There is no question that break ing aud pulverizing to a depth of 8 to 10 or 12 inched is economical. The eofl of breaking 10 inches deep when done with a disk plow should uttt be more than 50 cents an acre in excess of breaking 8 inches deep. Whether a plant has pleuty of food all the time or only part of the time makes the difference be tween a good crop and a poor crop. Exceptions Due to Conditions of Soil and Subsoil. (1) Never plow below the line of standing water in the soil, oe cause the subsoil ran not be pul verized in water. The water level most first be lowered by drainage. (2) Do no deep fall plowing on light sandy land on dry, semiarld of the air upon the soil and for the winter rains to firm the subsoil le fore planting for cottou. (4) Ihin gray soils underlaid with yellow or stiff clay near the surface, most of the post oak flats, and the comparatively level roast lands should lie broken in ridge (hack-furrowed) 5, ti or 7 feet wide, according to the crop to lie planted. Cotton and corn may be left thicker in the row to offset the wider space between the rows. The dead furrow Isdween the rows should be double plowed and made as deep as practicable, w it h a good outlet for the water. This method will gradually deepen the soil, in crease drainage, reduce washing, and give a larger aud deeper btsly of loose, aired earth for the roots. This plan is excelleut wheu sur face drainage is necetuary. Soil to be live and friable must lie kept out of standing water w inter and summer. The sugar planters of Louisiana all use the ridge method ( generally 7 feet wide) ltoth for sugar cane and coru. The dead furrow is as deep as a plow drawn by 4 or ( heavy mules can le net rate at the last breaking. This gives an aver age depth of tillage of 12 or l.' inches. The adoption of the ridge meth- ltd on demonstration fields iu the Yazoo Delta in UtOti incrca-ted the yield of corn from 1 1 bushels per tcre to 0 bushels. o fertilizer was used. Winter flanagement. In cams no winter cover crop is used the soil should be tlisked or harrowed two or three times dur ing the winter, provided it is dry enough. Give good drainage to all parts of the held. Auy cultivation done after the leep full breaking should be shal low uot mora thau :i or I Inches lecp. Morse Walked Sleeper to Mis Death. Islington lMNit-h.
