The animals re killed simply for their hides, and the laughter is said to be somewhat unpre cedented. The killing is fair enough, as it is all done with the rifle. It is the constancy with which it is done and purpose of which if objected to by .those most affected. Tea years ago an entire section of country, which is now under fence, literally swarmed with buffalo. They were exterminated, however, in three years time,! and strictly by the rifle. J The deer bid fair to go in the same way. The yew York Ttlegram says the as sertion that the household of President Harnsoa is the largest which ever oc cupied the Executive Mansion, is er roneous. The family of the President consists of Mrs. Harrison, his son Russell Harrison and his beautiful wife and one child, MrV J. Robert McSee and wife the daughter of Mrs. Harrison, and two children. "The largest White House family, includiig those of the married son and daughters, irrespective of resi dence, was that of President Tyler, con sisting of Mr.; and Mrs. Tyler, his son Robert, who; 'married a daughter of Thomas Althorpe ; Cooper, the great English tragtdun his daughter Mary and her husband, Henry Lightfoot Jones, Letitia and her husband, Judge Semple, Elizabeth and her' husband, William Waller, and the younger children, John 4Wce and TazewelL . .

The State Convention of the You riff -Men's Christian Association convened at Gretnville Thursday. Jutfson Peeples, who was shot by John Ulay at Barnwell on April A. died B in day. A coroner's jury was impaneled, And the verdict was that he came to his death by a shot discharged from a pistol 1 in tha hands of John Clay. It is state 1 that a syndicate has been formed with the view of purchasing all all the undeveloped phosphate lands in South Carolina. Three or four tracts of about 300 acres each, have been sold re centlv to the combination at from 60, 000 to $70,000 each. Lower Suth Carolina is said to contain thousands of acres of phosphate beds. A meeting of the stockholders of the Charleston News and Courier company unanimously elected Major J C Hemp hill manager, to fill the vacancy occa sioned by the .death of Capt. F. W. Dawson, who was murdered March 12. It is not probable that there will be any further change in the staff of the paper, at least for some time to come. West Keler, colored, one of the con victs rec ived at the penitentiary from Greenville county, mtde a break for libeitv while workmg on the canal and was shot by the guaid. He had been convict el of ' larceny of live stock, and only ha i one year to serve. The bullet entered the left hip from the rear and made its exit through the right groin. The penitentiary physician entertains very little hope of his recovery. The Governor has pardoned Randolph Cook, convicted at the September, 1883. term of court, for Marlborough county of cpw stealing, and sentenced to im prisonment in the penitentiary for one year. The pardon was strongly -recommended by Senator McCall, Col Knox Living-ton and other prominent citizens of Marlborough county, and endorsed by the Judge and Solicitor, for the rea son that there is ground for the belief that Cook was only guilty of receiving the stolen property, and has already been sufficiently punished. At Leesville the marshal arrested a drunken Irishman and put him in the guard house for gufe keeping. During the night the guard fcoue was consumed by fire and the poor unfortunate was roasted alive. The origin of the fire is a mystery, but it, is thought that when the man awoke and found himself con fined he attempted to burn hi way out. He is said to have been a se-ving ma chine repairer, and his name is supposed to be John ')oyle. The verdict of the coroner's jury was in accordance with the above facts. VIRGINIA. A difficulty arose between Cockey Smarr and Bernard Donnelly at Alexan dria, and they settled the mait-r with a pitched battle. Marquis of Queensberry rules. ' 'Squirj Cotts, of the town, then setthd the sludgers by arresting them and fining tbem $15.00 each. Mrs Maiia Grasty. wife-, of Philip L Grasty, a prominent merchant of Dan vi.le. took an overdose of chloral Wednesday night and was found on the floor, in the middle of her room, the next morning, where she died during the ni"ht The sales of revenue stamps at the Danville Custom Houe for manufac tured tobacco in March v ere $47,042.67, which is an increase over February sales of $3 005.92. Sales for March, 1888, weie $28,703.20. The increase in March this a ear over the same month last year is $18,249.50. Fuither reports of damage by the re cent snrni show that the loss of ovster ! vess-ls on both biy and seaside is much larger than at first supposed, ani the loss of li'e correspondingly greater. Three more bodies were washed ashore near Caie Charles, one of which was that of Uapt thanuock, of Eastville. The Virginia and Kentucky Railroad Co., D S Pierce of Wytheville, presi dent, previously reported, will build a railroad to the Kentucky State line, a distance of 200 miles, via Stuat, Wythe ville and Tazewtll C. H. Six tunnels will be constructed averaging 1,000 ft-et each. The turvt-y willcomm nee in May. J C Wreushall, of Danville, is chief mineer. A fat:tl wreck occurred on the York River branch of the Richmond and Dan ville railroad, about two mihs above West Point The heavy rains of Satur day washed rut a culvert and a part of the dam between the tank pond and the river, and an engine and seven freight cars plunged into the washout Two ur n, a colored brakemm aid the fireman, a young man named Durvin, were buried under the cars and killed.

The dis tance is about eleven miles, and the es timated cost is about $1,000,000. There is considerable interest in the State ver the proposition to elect Sena tor Call's successor by the Legislature now assembled. Senator Call's term ex pires on March 4t 1891 While the pres ent Legislature is the las, to meet be fore then, another Legislature will bo TKMITBSSKK. John L. Ilridiburg ha? been appointed cost master at Knoxville by President Harrison Saturday a negro man stopped with a well known negro farmer of De Kalb county and stayed until Monday morn ing. The farmer saw that his neck was badly skinned and swollen and the ne gro on being questioned closely con fessed that be was Mack Francis, who bad been hanged Friday at Lebanon, Tenn. His heart had continued to beat for twenty minutes after; hanging when pbysiians pronounced him dead. Rela tives took charge of the body and, it is Bd, resuscitated him. A girl aged 18 years committed suicide at Nashville under distressing circum stances. She had been reclaimed from evil . ways by the Woman's Christian Union. She was importuned by a man named Hodges to leave a pleasant home in which she had been placed. Hodges seemed to have a wonderful influence over her, and so, saying that she would rather die than live the life he wanted her to lead, she fired a pistol shot into her heirt. The affair created a genuine sensation. Senator Jesse W. Sparks superintended I a bonfire on the capitol grounds at Nash ville. The Senator had his coat off and stirred up a mass of burning papers with a ten foot pole. Thirty-one million dollars worth of bonds and two hundred thousand dollars of old Torbett issue were curling up in the smoke before the eyes of an interested little group. The bonds were of the denomination of fifty dollars, five hundred and one thousand dollars. They had been printed incom pliance with the famous one hundred and three act, to settle the Sfgte debt, but the act was declared unconstitution ! al by the Supreme court, and since then the bonds have been packed in the base ment of the capitol in sixteen large boxes. Twenty-eight plates from which they were printed were also mutilated and sold. This was done by orders of the Legislature. GEORGIA. The Farmer's Alliance will build a cotton seed oil mill atj Madison. The Americus and Montgomery Rail road Company will extend their road to Savannah if $50,000 is subscribed by the citizens. The orlei will be accepted. Atlanta's street railways have been consolidt d and are now owned by a stock company of ten of the richest citi zens. Gen James , Longstre t's mansion at Gainesville wa9 destroyed by tire Tues day. All war relics and souvenirs were consumed. OTHER STATES. The Farmers' Allianoe of Alabama proposes to join hands with the Alliance of Georgia in its fight against the jute bagging trust Tuey will use cotton clotU as a covering for th ir cotton. The Meade County Natural Gas Co. has been incorporated in Kentucky. The authorized capital stock is $1,000, 000. Several more gas companies have also been formed with $1,000,000 capi tal. NORTH CAROLINA. The negro exodus is more active than heretofore. Every train carries hundreds away. j The North Cirolina rarmers' Alii ance, representing seventy thousand farmers, will boycott the Cotton Bagging Trust In Swain county a white man named Sparks was instantly killed. He was rolling logs on a flat car when the tackle gave way and the hook was thrown vio lentlv acrainst his f ice, tearing away one side of it, and fracturing his skull, from which death instantly resulted. The inspection of truck farms in New l erne section shows that peas and iota toes are not damaged so much by cold as bv wind. But few peas are seriously damaged, but on light lands b ans haye been literally uncovered and left hire in some instances. Seed are actually teat tered about the gTOUod. The signal service telegTaph cable crossing Bregan Inlet was swept away dfiring the recent storm. Telegraphic communications with Cape Hatteias is thus cut off till a new cable t-hall have lx en laid. The schooner Lo'he, Capt Sharp, is ashore near Kitty Hawk, and will probably be a total losi.

COTTON CULTURE. ! - 1HBTAI IN FEBTILIZIH0. Where Fanners Err in the Use of Phot e phatea. Pork at 3 Gents. The ordinary yield of cotton is not sufficient to pay the grower his expenses and the common wages of a laborer. The census reports frive the average yield per acre in Georgia as 137 pounds; South Carolina, 140 pounds; Alabama, 130 pounds; and the highest ia Louisi ana, 220 pounds. As a bale of 450 pounds per acre is not uncommon with ood farmers, and the best culture pro uces 1,000 pounds, it is tvideU that the lowest jrield must Je much below the average Indeed, many fields pro duce no more than fifty pounds per acre, and some wretched patches may be found, without going far to find tbem, up n which as little as fifteen to. twenty-fiv -pounds per acrj only is grown. What a waste of labor and of land, and of pos sible we dth to the community ! Cotton is a crop that exhaus's the land and requires a rich foil or a well manured one to yield its brst, and its best, as yet, no one knows; but .1,500 pounds of lint per acre has ieen crown by a well known farmer in Georgia. It requires nitrogen and phosphoric acid, but it gets only the latter, which alone is useless for the crop as food would be to a man without water. Plants must have evtry element thy require, or they cannot grow, and the rule among the cotton planters is to use "phosphate" only. This n suits in a starved crop and loss of labor. It has ben found that stable or -yard manure, or such compost in which this forms a art, i the lxt food for the cotton plant, and the lest place to put this food is in the rows where the seed is planted. A god compost is made of pen or yard manure, black soil from the woods, or a a -vamp, or from ditches, with cotton seed and phosphate. Only the cheapest fertili zers can be used lor this crop, on ac count of its low price, and the chep?t is made at home. Southern fatm rt. waste miMions of dol'as worth of ma nure every year by turning their cattle out in the woods and leaiug their hog to run on the roads Pork could b made in the South for three c ms a pound by feeding corn, sweet potatoes, peas and bran, but millions of pounds are purchasrd at ten to htteen cents u ..... I L it. .. pound. And all the manure wnun me hogs wouid make if ke pt up and fed would be worth as much for the cotton crop as all the "phophate" which is bought To produce profitable crops of cotton a thorough change is medrd. Lonu ago t-outhern farmers were told of the benefits of diversified crops; of growing clover, grass, peas and other fodder cropsana breed'ng stock and making manure; and now we urge a better culture of the leading Southern crop, not that twice as "much cotton may be grown on on-third of the land at a ihird of the cot for the culture, and the spare land be into corn, peas, millet and clover, and then the clover turned un der for cotton. A rotation of crops is indispensable for profitable "culture ot tha coil on3 nnrlof this RVfttetU an eX cellent rotation would come io. One enthusiastic and progressive farmer in th Smith Ra.va he is not ffoing to stop until he grows five bales of cotton to the acre. He has grown three bales and Will rimar flvA hpvond a doubt, and we dare say he will not stop trying for more, even then. Why a Boot Shines. You see, we smear the boot with a preparation of bone-black, which is en tirely devoid of iustre, and then, by the friction of a dry brush, make it shine like the sun. There is not another pro like this anvwhere in the arts, so far as I know, says a writer in the At lanta Constitu'ion, and I never read any ,mr inT arintirice explanation of the rtrnft. I have a theorv of my own, however, which I Will give you for what it is worth. The key to the mystery lies in the fact that a diamond is noth ing but crystalled carboo. The black ing is a little more than carbor paste, and the friction of a hair brush eng one of the most efficient methods of generating electricity, has the edect of crystalizjng the carbon of the blacking. As soon a this is done the boot is cov ered with millions of infinitely small diamonds, and of course, begins to shine as a mass of diamonds would. Pine Straw Versus Jute. Negotiations have just been concluded between the Acme Manufacturing Com pany, of Wilmington, N. C.and out, a'de capitalists for the immediate erec tion throughout the pine region of the South of factories for manufacturing pine straw bagrgin for cotton, and the projectors claim these fartoriea will not be run in tbe Interest of any trust, but on business principles fr legitimate profits.

The trouble, or rather the occasion, for there was no trouble, was the opening of the first faloon alter the two years reign of pro hibition. It was known that the city authorities would grant license to he Lawrence house, and a crowd gath ered ia front of the saloon, pressing and que ziog each other in the manner of voters, waiting for the polls to open.

THE GOOD XEWS SPREAD Like a prairie on fire, and the thirsty dropped work and speedily betook themselves to the spot whre the lager Mowed and the red liquor bubbled. The colored te ple especially regarded it as a new emancipation and the dawning of a new era, and were on band to the ex tent that their cah would allow.
