"A boy only II wears old has beel

"A boy only IL years old has been
sentenced to death at Culloden, Ga.
His name is Clayton Hllsman, he is
black, and his crime was the very bru-
tai murder of an infant, whom he was
set to watch. The mother left them to-
gether while she took nap. On ava
kening the baby was missing, and She
finally found it in well. Hillsman had
thrown it there, after pounding it to
death with stones. No motive for the
deed was brought out on the trial, and
the prisoner would give none, though he
confessed premeditated homicide, and
conviction was the only possible result
1t is supposed that the sentence will be
changed TO Imprisonment for life, on
account of his youthiulness.

How TO Manufacture Strip From
Sorghum.


TIE best time 10 cut the cane IS when
the seed is in the dough. Cut off the
heads first, and then strip with stick.
made in the form of sword Cane
must not stand in the field after the
leaves are striped, as It viii soon under
go a change, and the Juice viii be bitter.
Cane may be cut and dried on the out
side, and then piled and kept for weeks.
II piled wet It win heat and so spoil It..
II Il has been frosted and is not worked
up in few days, il viii sour.
To make good sirup, you must have
good cane. II you wish TO make sugar
or good sirup, you must keep every
thing used in the making Of il clean and
sweet. Sorghum juice has tendency
10 undergo a change as soon as pressed
from the cane, and in few hours 1t will
commence to make alcohol To pre-
vent or arrest this chemical change is
the greatest thing we have to contend
with, and here is the secret OF making
sugar or good sirup. So II becomes
necessary TO wash the mill and vats, and
every thing used, with lime-water once
or twice a day. The clay process is
much ahead Of any in the saving Of labor
in skimming, ETC., aud besides, the sirup
is much cleaner and clearer, for if you
scald the green matter in the cane-juice
it gives il a strong taste,
To clarity with clay, use the white or
light colored clay, dry it, and have n
settling vat, with plugs in one end, TO
draw off the liquor. Put the cane juice
into the vat as it comes from the mill,
add about one-half bushel of clay to 100
gallons of juice, mix the clay thoroughly
with the juice, by agitating, until It
will settle clear and show no green mat
ter, and when it is scalded it is as clear
as water. II you wish, you can use
lime, alum and soda; but think sirup
is much healthier and better 10 use only
sulphite of lime, such as isuscd in cider,
one package to 100 gallons of Juice; put
it In as it comes from the mill. The
sulphite of lime viii prevent fermenta-
ton. Boil ever brisk fire. You
should stir the juice until it boils, TO
