BUTCHERY AT NEWPORT.
Willis ScHAhan FrightfuIIy Gut te
Pieces by Dan. Potter.

Willis HcHRhan Erfg htfuIly Gut to
Pieces by Dan. Potter.
a horrible tale of bloodshed al d
butchery occurred at Newport, Cooke
county, last Tuesday night, the par
ticulars o! which are furnished US by
correspondent. 1t seems that Daniel
4. Potter, a blacksmith in Newport,
had started to his home that night,
accompanied by his son, years old,
and a man by the name of Willis
McMahan, a very peaceable, inofens-
i've man, towards whom no one
held malice or ill-8ilI. Pot
ter, it seems, had a feeling of
enmity towards McMahan's brother
on account of something about the
rent Of blacksmith shop.
AS they were going along, Pot
ter told his son to go on
ahead, and when the boy had
had gotten the distance OF ten of IF
teen steps he looked back and saw the
two men in a scuffie, and heard Nc
Mahan tell his father not to kill him.
Wednesday morning McMahan was
found lying out on the ground in al
most dying condition, with some
fearful gsShes about his body; being
cut to the ventraI cavity in six or sew
en- places, both on the back and in
front, and there were, in all, fourteen
gashes.
Potter came to town that morning,
and was heard to make the inquiry
who had done the deed. Suspicion
soon rested on him, however, and he
was arrested. Afterwards, very sharp
knife, identified by several persons as
belonging 10 Potter, was found about
forty yards from where the deed was
committed. 1t had on it blood aud
fragments of McMahan's clothing.
There was also blood found on Pntter's
clothing when he was arrested.
The above statements of the diff.
Guilty are fully corrobeTsted by P Dtter's
son, as well as McMahau. Potter is in
Jail awaiting the result Of the wounds.
McMahan was still alive, strange to
say, yesterday morning, as we were in
formed, but there seemed no possible
chance Of his recovery.

SELLING COTTON SEED.

At the regular meeting of Powell
Grange, 244, Lowndes county, Miss, Oct.
II, 1879, the following report by special
committee was adopted:
Worthy Master: Your committee to
whom was referred the subject of selling
cotton seed to the oil companies respect
fully report
That the question is one which calls for
our earnest consideration. The policy
heretofore pursued OF selling cotton seed
to the oil companies has received but little
consideration from our land owners, who
are most deeply interested, and to their
ignorance of the value of the seed As a fer
tilzer is to be attributed mainly the i'm
mense traffic that has grown up during
the past few years-a traffic from which
the enterprising oil companies have real
lied almost fabulous fortunes. No bust
ness in the country has proved more prof
liable than that of the cotton seed oil COM
panies, and as is usual where fortunes are
realized from the products of the soil,
these fortunes are made at the expense
and to the great injury of the farmers. BY
we'll devised and we'll executed system
of cooperation, these oil companies enjoy
complete monopoly of the cotton seed
traffic. Each company has allotted to it,
through their central organization, a sec
ton of the cotton belt from which to draw
its supply of seed, and this right to such
territory is respected by the other compa-
nies. Thus, by cooperating together, the
oil companies have reduced the price of
seed to figure that scarcely pays for
transporting it to the nearest town.
But it is as a fertilizer and not as an arti
Gle of commerce that cotton seed should
receive the consideration Of land owners
1t is fact painfully apparent everywhere
that the fertility of our lands is steadily
decreasing. We must restore this lost fer
tllity, or content ourselves with constantly
decreasing returns for our labor.
The Investigations and experience of
scientific agriculturists testify that it paws
to apply fertilizers even on our richest
lands, and that there is no fertilizer more
available and eff1cacious than cotton seed
Some of our most distinguished and sue
cessful farmers claim that cotton seed at
$40 ton is the cheapest and best fertili-
ger in the world
Your committee would respectfully rec
ommend the adoption of the following
resolutions, which are of similar import to
resolutions adopted by several Oranges in
Southwestern Mississippi:
Ist That Powell Grange, No. 244, ear
nestly appeal to the farmers of Lowndes
county to retain and use their cotton seed
on their farms as fertilizer, and that we
urge them to purchase and retain the seed
belonging to their employees.
I'd. That the farmers in this and tbe
other Cotton States be respectfully urged
to adopt similar policy in regard to their
cotton seed, and put stop forever to the
suicidal policy of shipping to other coun-
tries this most valuable product, by which
both themselves and their Impoverished
lands are robbed of their substance.

rbe Order in Texas is gaining strength

The Order in Texas is gaining strength
in all quarters, and is destined soon to be-
come the leading organization in that great
State Cooperation is probably better
understood by the masses in Texas than
those of any other Southern State, and
that system of business is rapidly super
ceding the old expensive and oppressive
system of the merchants. In some towns
the cooperative stores are already taking
control of the business, just as is being
doing in many of the large cities of Eng
land. The success attending these stores
will encourage the farmers of Texas to
apply the principle to other departments
of industry, and it will not be long before
manufactures of every kind, especially
small cotton factories on the Clement At
tachment plan, will be established by
them and operated exclusively under their
control and direction. Cooperation thus
generally and practically applied, means
the advancement of the farmers in intelli-
gence, wealth and power-their elevation
to that position which is rightfully theirs
as the leading and controlling element in
business, social and public affairs.
In the great work of building up the
Grange in Texas and in promoting the
cause of cooperation, Worthy Overseer
| A J. Rose, of the State Grange, has been
called bv the Order to leading position,
and he has fulfilled its demands with zeal
and capacity that have endeared him to
the farmers Of Texas. He has made a
number of tours through the State, and
though he has accomplished great deal,
his work seems to be just beginning. He
starts this week on a tour through the
Eastern and Northern parts of the State,
which will keep him actively engaged
until January. In letter just received
from him, dated at Hampstead, Oct. IS,
Bro. Rose writes:
| II left home on the 10th inst, and met
quite a number of earnest Patrons from
Pleasant Hill and Merrelltown Oranges
at Round Rock on the nth. These Pa
irons have stood by the Order from the
| first; their zeal and determination have
not abated in the least; they believe in
turning things up and not waiting fol-
something to turn up. They have recently
started a cooperative store on the Koch
dale plan.
Con the 18th, 1 met the County Grange
of Grimes county, and more sociable
live set of Matrons and Patrons are not
often met with. The indications here are
very favorable for a forward movement
The Order has come to stay IN Grimes
county, and the members are availing
themselves of its material as well as social
benefits. left them much regretting that
l could not stay longer, as they proposed
holding two or three days session"
