Remarkable Cotton Crops.

The newspapers are calling attention to
the wonderful success of Mr.. J. ]. Crump,
whose farm is near Aberdeen, Miss. lie
has adopted new process in cotton plant
ing and the remarkable results which have
followed his experiments are attracting the
notice of planters. In 1877 Mr.. Crump pro-
duced 1,3l0 pounds of ginned cotton to the
acre, 1000 pounds in 1S78 and the pros
poets this season point to the heaviest yield
be has ever obtained. The Aberdeen
(Aliss.) Examiner gives the process. Mr..
Crump prepares his land in December by
digging holes three feet from each other,
eighteen inches square and eighteen inches
deep; these holes he fills with manure to
within four inches of the top, and the re-
mainder of the way with the top soil. At
the usual season he plants with view to
having three stalks to hill, and piles the
clay from the bottoms of the pits as deep
over their tops as the supply will admit of,
with view to keeping down the grass, and
then cultivates with hand and hoe, never
allowing plough to be used. The prepa-
ration is made in December in order to sub
due the fiery qualities Of the fertilizer, and
the holes when prepared will make at least
three crops without changing their contents
the second crop generally being the best,
and the first and third about the same.
This plan has gone beyond the sphere Of
experiment, and there is no longer necessi-
ty for man to scrape over dozen acres
when he can obtain more cotton and better
cotton by cultivating two or three by Mr..
Crump's process.

Sandy Springs.

Our best farmers say that there will be a
better crop of cotton raised in this vicinity
this year than has been in many years. 1t
is better fruited and the acreage is greater.
1.-THE corn crop generally will be very
light think, owing to the scarcity in acre.
age planted and the general drought. Bot
tom corn is very fine where it has been well
cultivated, but upland corn is not so good,
and we fear the recent rains have come too
late to revive it. We have noticed the bot
tom land corn of Mr.. J. NJ. Watson, which
is extra fine, and the best about Birds Cross
ing Mcssrs. A. b. Bowdcn and Milton
Reese are very successful with their rice
farms OH the Twenty.SiX Mile Creek. They
flood their rice by the wheel process, which
is very satisfactory ..... Messrs. James G.
Douthit & Son are preparing to build a dam
across Millwee Creek to run grist mill and
cotton gin, which they expect to have ready
for this Falls business. We wish them
success......As late in the season rs it is,
some of our neighbors have been setting
out potato slips, cabbage plants and sowing
turnfp seed......Our school is large and
flourishing. The exercises will close in
one month. Capt. J. S. Oliver has as
sumed the contract of Capt. Potts, (dc-
ceased, and will furnish the Railroad with
10000 cross-ties per month. He is gentle
man of honor and integrity, and we wei
come him among us as citizen, and hope
he will receive the confidence he deserves.

Col. James NJ. Latimer being present was
called on as the first speaker, and respond
ed in clear and distinct terms, showing how
easy it would be to build the Savannah
Valley Railroad, and that if the people of
this section do not take hold of it, the Road
will be built from Lowndcsvillc across to
Belton.
He was followed by Gen. Humphreys,
Maj. Z. B. Murray, Dr. Brown and Col. w.
Z. Walters, who made able speeches III
favor of the said Road, and showed the ne

by figures that will be required to put the
Road i'll running order.
On motion the meeting adjourned for

A Suggestion.

Mr.. EDITOR: There being no licenses taken
out for this year to retail liquors in the town
of Anderson, we would make the suggestion
to the Town Council that they take the mat
ter under their own supervision and open q
bar-room, the revenue of which to so into
the town treasury. In this way the entire
expense of the town could be betrayed with
out any levy of taxes on the personal and
real estate for town purposes, and the sale
of spirituous liquors could be better regula-
ted than under any previous arrangement.
We throw out this suggestion 10 our Council
for what it is worth. CITIZEN.
