Judge Christian, in refusing the petition Of
some of the negroes Of Richmond to be made

spected white man seeks to escape, does so

Jurors Gao be found among the colored than
among the white citizsrs of Richmond be shall
continue to put the names Of the latter only up
on the lists from which jarors are to be selected.
He recognizes the equality ofthe coored, poo
pie before the law and that they are liable to
serve on iurits, ard says he will summon them
for such service when be deems it best fox the
proper enforcement of tho laws of the Com
monwealtb. The only principle which has gov
erued or will hereafter govern him 10 the dis
charge of the duty Of selecting jurors is that
which will enable him 10 comply with the law,
and at the same time secure the best material
for it's proper enforcement. Ga this point he
says "When l GnG that can best do this by
selecting oolered Jurors will do 30, but not It'll

Rivss, are sustaining ably the proud reputation
achieved By thor renowned predecessors.

The republicans 10 Copgress. as everybody

shall not accomplish by indireotion what they
failed to achieve by more direct meats, and
therefore will oppose the modified appropiia'

veto CT those bills when they shall DO presented
to him. This lsst failure of the democratic
leaders to exricats their party from the diem

b, excused even upon the ground that though
tbs plan decided upon was not the best that
could have been devised. it was the best that

,, Capt. Moorer thought The age of
Mr. Salley's hogs had more to do
with the meat dripping than the chu-
fa. Young hoge would naturally be
effected by heat in that way.
Mr.. James Stokes agreed with Mr..
Salley and said that his hogs were
old and still the meat drippcd and
lard melted. He thought the meat
too was effected by the chura, and
did not taste SO well as that made
from corn.
Mcssrs. Nc. Salley and Macley's
experience agreed in that cotton
planted after the chufa will do we'll
but not oats.
Mr.. Mackay said that Mr.. Cornell
son would pay the farmer 30 or 40
cents per gallon for good syrup while
the grain wonld pay the expenses of
of cultivation. He thought the crop
did not interfere with cotton materi.
ally. He had already planted 10
acres and intended to plant 10 more.
The debris about the mill was an ex-
ccllent manure-he put it in his sta
bles and lot and others of his neigh
bors did the same thing and found it
good manure for any crop an;, over.
balanced the exhaustive nature Of
the sorghum crop.
Mr.. j. j. Sallcy saii! an acre OF
land that would produce 1000 lbs.
cotton would yield 100 gallons Of
syrup. His experience led him to
believe the crop was not an exhaust
er Of the land to that extent people
believed. Cotton grew just rs well
after sorghum as any other crop.
The grain will not injaro by lying on
the ground in dry weather. 1t ought
to be dried before housing. Was
good food for MI kinds of stock, es-
pecially hogs. Hc thought Mr.. Cor
nelson, in his new enterprise was
helping the farmer and the farmer
ought to support him: A mill and
pans, he thought, would cost about
SlOO.
at this point the meeting adjourn
ed for dinner which was prepared up
stairs. Every member felt it his
privilege TO address himself TO the
loaded tables and was no way back
ward. The editor was not neglected
and felt encouraged by the many
remarks made upon the DEMOCRAT
for which we are thankful. The mis-
sion of our paper is in large meas
ure to support and advance the inter-
est of the farmer, and if worthy we
will be supported.
