Capital Punishment.

Lying in our Jail, is wounded man, con-
dcIned to death under verdict and sentence
of a court which tried md convicted him 81
the murder of fellow-being: Fountain
Young, a man about IS years Of age-with a
family Of five or six children and a wife who
has stood by him Through evil as well as
good report" is now CONDEMNED to suffer the
extreme penalty Of the law, by hanging by
the neck, until he is dead, on some day in
September next. Here he lies, in our rock
prison house-awaiting the dreadful day,
when his soul will wing its fight to the maker
who gave it.
Is il right, in this day of adruUecd cisiii5a-
ton, to take the TIC Of fellow creature, as a
forfeit for the life he stands accused of having
taken? Or would il he better and more moroif'd
and jusa, to imprison him for III, under the
charge preferred against him? Let those who
would he done by as they would wish others
to do by them, docid,'
For our part we are, and shall ever be, op-
posed 70 capital punishment II is miserable
relic Of the dark and bar6arcs ages, and should
find NO advocates in this ss-e Of civilization.

Farmers Don, Fsrgc..

That on tomorrow, a week hence, the
Farmers Club will NEE; in the bank under
our office, for the purpose Of exhibiting and
discussing the relative qualities Of wheat
the soil bosi adapted to it, culture, the he=,
practical mode Of sowing, harvesting; and any
other question incident to its culture.
The Presidenlaf tho ci;.l5yt directs US TO no
quest our farmers to bring in specimens Of
the'r crop in grain, head and stem, and leave
them, properly labelled, at the office Of thu
INTERIOR JOURNAL until the day of meet
ing. This will enable the committee Of ar
rangement to arrange the various specimens
a. to produce the best exhibition.
We hope that all Of our progressive, intelli-
gent farmer will heed this call, and lend a
helping hand to the good work Of developing
our highest resources as grass and grain re-
gion. We have long been noted for our
matchless grass. Why cannot we become bet
ter known as cereal produoersG Why is il
that eight to twelve bushels of wheat make q
fair average Yield ON such land as ours? Sim
ply because We have not made the proper ef
fort at improvement. Let Us try to do better
in the future.

Which IL Hest.

The question to be settled as to the culture Of
wheat is, which variety. as a general rule, does
hest in our average soil. Some kinds ncquire
very rich land, while others will give an ex-
cellent yield on rather thin land. Our own
opinion Is, that more depends upon the man
ner Of culture than the character of soil in
which the grain is sown. For instance, farmer
sows his wheat in October, following crop Of
oats or rye. This will not do, you say. Then
why do ity Yet many Indifferent or careless
farmers do that way, because, perhaps, it is
more convenient. Again, some will SOW il in
standing corn, and pillow il in with shovel
pillow, Is this right? Far from il. A farmer
who would follow either mode, does not, as he
will not, have over seven bushel per acre
yield. These are the matters that will come
up before the Farmer Club for discussion next
Saturday evening, week hence. Re there by
all means, whether you are a farmer or not.
You might earn something 10 your advantage.

From private letter to a friend, from a

Texas are as fine as one could wish, especially
wheat, which was all harvested by the 18th Of
May. The corn crop will be enormous, some
seventy bushels per acre; cotton very fine.
The health of the country is excellent. Land
can be had from 81, to $50 per acre. Rail.
roads are dotting the country in all directions.
The peach crop is fine, apples scarce. Good
schools, churches etc, abound.

wheat SHOW nj stanford.

One Of the most pleasant and profitable
meetings we have attended for sometime, was
the meeting Of the Lincoln County Farmers
Club which assembled at 3 O'Clock on satur-
day last, Pol inst, in the National Bank of
Stanford. Owing TO the busy season Of har-
vest the attendance was quite small, but those
who came ard brought specimens Of their
crops were earnest, intelligent farmer-, who
desire to do all within their power to improve
upon the culture Of this important cereal.
VARIETIES EXHIBITED.
Col Royc Stewart brought In two kinds
the Fultl and Baughton (Tappahannack). The
latter a clear, oily amber, large, smooth grain,
which grows well even On thin land.
John S. Murphy brought in two kinds--the
Mediterranean and Georgia White, bOsh good
varieties, but the latter is the better, and is a
beautiful white amber, very Large, fine grains.
This variety is preferred by many to all Others.
VIM. Mccormack exhibited the famous Lamas
properly pronounced Lomar) which is very
superior kind and suits our soil and climate
frsi-rate. 1t should be largely cultivated, 1t
is white wheat, with plump, large heads;
one head yielded 81 grains.
ID. W. Vandsycer exhibited the Tappahan-
mack or Baughton, which had longer heads
than any on exhibition. We have described
!, above.
GAREAID ocr-ry.
Mr. Joshua Dunn, Of Garrsrd county, cx-
hibited a curious specimen Of wheat known as
the Swamp wheat, beard like the Meditcrra-
mean, hut heads not so long or large stems
small, but grains Of fair ~ ard -. Il
never freezes out-beinqf ssFTS'c,-r INV, Or
wet lands. For these reasons, II for none other,
it should be grown in many places, especially
where farmers are either too poor or too lazy
TO drain their lands
OF the above kinds the Fuliz needs rich
land, but the Baughton will yield we'll on thin
soils. The yield of these two Is very 6ne-in
fact, the enrtire wheat cpp in this region is a
grand success, whereat We all do rejoice with
exceeding great joy, and thank the lord Of
the harvest for il all.
THE NEXT MEETING.
Saturday week the Club viii meet again at
the same place, when we hope full attend
ance will he had. a wheat harvest will be over.
Come in, farmers, and bling specimens you
some shelled and some in the heads, and some
with stems, roots and ali complete, so there
can be full exhibition and discussion on va
rieties.
