SUICIDE OF A BRIDEGROOM.

Special Telegram to the Globe
ATLANTA; Ga, Oct. 27.---C. E. Kuhn,
painter and paper hanger, came to Allan
ia fifteen months ago. He was a young
man of good address. Three weeks ago
he left for Front Royal, Va, for the pur-
pose of marrying, and intended to return
with his bride. To his employer he made
known the object of his visit to Virginia,
and was presented with handsome testi-
monial. This week Mr.. Mauck received
letter from Kuhn in which he gave the day
of his intended arrival at Atlanta. With
the letter came an invitation to the we'd
ding of .'Charles E. Kuhn to Miss Ida E.
Pritchard." On the day designated kuhn's
friends repaired to meet him. He did not
come. As he did no app ar at the break

been his attendants, went to his
room to wake him. Repeated knocks On

entrance was forcibly affected. There on
the bed fiat on his back with eyes and
mouth wide open, lay the intended groom
dead. A bloody cash across his throat,
and a pen and razor in his right hand told
the story palmer than words. An inquest
was held but no cause for the suicide could
be obtained. Miss Pritchard was so shock

Green Corn for Pigs.

In the summer and early allfeeding
of pigs, we have found sweet corn one
of the best and most convenient kinds
of fodder. Pork is made to the best
advantage by putting the pigs, as soon
as they are weaned from the SOW and
have learned to eat milk and meal, in
to the pen, and keeping them there I'M
der full feed until they are ready for
slaughter in November or December.
With a good breed of swine there is
no difficulty in making March pigs
weigh from two hundred and fifty to
three hundred lbs, at eight or nine
months old. With plenty of Indain
meal and skinned milk they will grow
rapidly until the corn is large enough
for cutting, About the first of August
this should be given as an additional
ration. The pigs will eat the green
stalks and leaves with the greatest rel.
ish after the ears have been pluckee.
1t is an excellent appetizer, helps the
digestion of more solid food, and pro-
. notes the thrift of the animals. Field
corn may not be quite so nutritious,
but no better use can be made of that,
after the ears are in milk, than to cut
and feed it to fattening swine. 1t
costs much less to make pork in sum-
mer than in cold winter weather.

How to Foretell Weather.

The Farmers Club of the American
Institute has issued the following rules
for foretelling the weather: If far
mers and others whose business is out
doors, and depends upon the weather,
will study them closely they will be
able to guess the weather more
accurately than Virgins or Vennor.
l. When the temperature falls
suddenly there is storm forming south
Of you.
2 When the temperature rises
suddenly there is a storm forming
north of you.
3 The wind always blows from a
region of fair weather toward region
where storm is forming.
4 Cirrus clouds always move from
region where a storm is in progress
to region of fair weather
5 Cumulus clouds always move
from region of fair weather to a
region where storm is forming.
6. Where cirrus clouds are moving
rapidly from the north or northwest
there will be rain inside twenty-four
hours, no matter how cold it is.
7. When cirrus clouds are moving
rapidly from the south or southwest
there will be a cold rain storm on the
morrow, if it be in summer, and if it
be in winter there will be snow
storm.
8. The wind always blows in a
circle around a storm, and when it
blows from the north the heaviest lain
is east of you; if it blows from the
south the heaviest rain is west of you;
if it blows from the east the heaviest
rain Is south; if it blows from the west
the heaviest rain is north of you.
8. The wind never blows unless
rain or snow is falling within one
thousand miles of you.

Shall We Prune in Autumn.

To the above question, which comes
from several subscribers, we say de-
cidedly, yes, provided the question ap
plies to newly planted trees, those set
last spring, or within a few years.
The sooner such trees have their final
shape given to them, the better. This
should have been done when they we're
planted, but between the hurry of
spring work AMI the timidity of the
inexperienced, who are afraid to cut,
trees are quite too often set out just
as they come from the nursery. Such
trees must sooner or later be put into
their final shape for bearing, and the
ooner this is done, the better. Some
books on fruit culture, the French
especially, give diagrams to show how
the trees should be shaped. These are
well enough as suggestions, but as no
two trees grow precisely alike, the
only guides in such matters are,
general idea of the laws which regu
late tree growth, and common sense
in their application. If one has a
young orchard, the first point to be
considered is the height at which he
will make the heads of his trees. In
localities where the summer is long
and hot, it is claimed that low heads
shade the trunk, and thus are benefit.
Others wish to have the heads high
enough to allow of the passage of teams

Keeping Irish Potatoes Through Sum-
mer.

Dixie Farmer.
wish to know how to keep Irish po-
tatoes through the summer in the South
so as to prevent decay and sprouting.
l have planted COW peas between the
rows with the purpose Of letting them
remain in the ground till fall. Will
they keep sound with this treatment?
II. w. H., Prescott, Ark.
ANswER.-Irish potatoes mature so
early in the South that they cannot be
carried over summer and through the
winter with their quality unimpaired-
they will lose their mealiness and be-
come waxey and stickey. The best
plan is to dig when mature, keep out
the sun carefully, and spread out un-
derneath house where it is moderately
dark, and where it is cool and dry.
Too much dampness induces sprouting,
and light Injuries the quality. If left
in the ground as you propose, they are
liable to sprout and grow a secondcrop
if dry July is followed by soaking
rains in August.

WEALTHY PAUPERS.

At early morn, to stretch my legs,
l daily take stroll,
That makes me ripe for ham and eggs,
For tea and buttered roll.
Whichever way chance to roam
Not often very far
This pretty thought attends me home;
How rich poor people are u!
Serene the sky, and fresh the air;
Our cockney parks are gay;
The birds are warbling everywhere
TO greet the welcome day.
Through yonder east, one sea of light,
Careers Apollo's car.
Free gratis is the solemn sight
How rich poor people are
IT'S Joy intense on summer nights
Beside the brook to rove,
Or taste the many calm delights
That fill the shady grove.
To view aloft, with rapture deep,
Yon placid evening star
Is quite sublime and very cheap
How rich poor people are
A winter day, not over drear,
Has beauties all its own.
On winter eyes the sky is clear
Around fair DAMS throne.
Although the dull December brings
Bronchitis and catarrh,
Except for such unpleasant things
How rich poor people are!
Great fortunes'every day are made,
That leave one poor again.
The love of Nature cannot fade
While breath and sense remain.
TITS far too precioas, after all,
For chance to make or mar,
While Nature waits their beck and call
How rich poor people are

Preparing Fruit for Market.

Farmers are cheats" we heard
city man remark the other day. 81
donot buy basket of Strawberries
that has not the best and biggest on
top, and when the peach seasons
comes, | get a dozen or two of fine
peaches at the top, while the rest of
the basket is filled with small, green
and gnarled fruit; they are all cheats"
The very next day after hearing this
remark, we were among the fruit COM
mission houses, and in one place saw
some young men, who had bought
several crates Of berries to peddle.
They had smaller baskets to which they
transferred the berries from the larger
ones they had bought, and as they FILL
ed these, topped them with the largest
berries with surprising dexterity.
We concluded that all the cheating, in
strawberries at least, was not done by
the farmers. That there is much
"deaconing" (the market phrase
for topping of peaches and other
fruits, we do not doubt, yet the
tendency is all in the other direction.
Take peach-growers, for example, those
who are regularly in the business, and
expect to continue in it, strive to make
their brand upon a crate or basket a
guarantee of honest packing. This is
insisted upon at all the meetings
of peach-growers; only recently
we received the transactions of
the fruit-growers' society of North
Carolina, in which this point, honest
packing, was dwelt upon at great
length. Honesty is the best policy"
is not proverb of the highest moral
tone, as it implies that it pays to be
honest, but the peach-grOwers are
willing to adopt it. In packing peaches
the first point should be to assert them,
making as many grades as the coGdi
ton of the fruit requires. When
brought to the packing shed, the fruit
is at once thinly spread in the shade
in order that it may cool as much al
possible. In sorting, any that are al
all soft are put aside, to be left al
home; then two or three qualities
extras, frsts and seconds, are made
and with the best growers, the pack
ages of each are alike all through. i
is allowable to turn the colored side
of the top layer uppermost, in orde
that the fruit may appear at its best
but not to select large specimens 70
the top layer. Those who send peaches
to market for the first time, will find i
to their advantage TO observe this rule
In packing grapes for market, the boz
is opened at the bottom, the larg'
punches are laid in and the box file,
up with smaller punches. This
, done in ordey that the fruit, when tn
top is taken of, may present goo
: appearance, and if the filling be don
with good fruit, even if not the mos
select, there is no harm done. Blu
if, as is sometimes the case, poorl
ripened fruit, and even loose berrie
! are used to fillup, the grower will i
time find that his brand is not in dt
mand in the market. The frui
: grower, who expects to continue in tn
| business, can not afford to pack HI

beneath them, if need be. While
there is no objection to them, cult
waiting crops in a young orchard, and
indeed it is better to do this than to
neglect the soil entirely, the practice
is becoming more general of seeding
the bearing orchard to clover, and
using it as pasture for swine, to the
mutual benefit of pigs and trees. The
height of the heads being decided upon
all branches that start below this should
be removed. The next point should
be, to secure an open and well-balancN
ed head, with the main branches even
ly disposed. Beyond this, all branch
es that crowd, or cross one another, all
"water shoots" vigorous growth, that
sometimes start up in the growing sea-
son, should be cut away. The sea-
sons growth being completed, the re-
moval of branches at this time will
cause no check, and as the branches to
be cut away are all small, no large
wounds will be exposed. Hence we
say, by all means do such pruning in
autumn, while the weather is mild,
and other farm work is not pressing

THE election of Carlisle to be Speaker of the House, is a victory of the revenue tariff democrats, over the high pro- tective tariff men of the party, and with ont doubt foreshadows the issue upon which the coming presidential campaign will be fought. While there are many protective tariff democrats in the East ard South, the fight for speakershIp has clearly shown that they are In a minority, though by no means small minority. So strong are the convictions of the two factions of the party, that 1t is very uncertain whether the leaders will be able to hold them together for voting purposes, even on the national ticket. The Eastern manufacturer whose business has grown up under protective tariff laws Is so strongly m pressed with their necessity, that in very many cases it is believed be will leave the democratic party rather than vo'e for president pledged to reduce the revenue which he regards ss an attack upon his business. which must necessarily end ln its final destruction. Touch a mans pocket, and you do more 10 weaken his fealty to his party, than any other means. He may vote for men who do not exactly shit him, because they are on the democratie ticket; there may be many other things Tn connection with the campaign and it's management, that do not meet with his approval, yet he will vote the ticket because he IS a democrat, and wants to see his party m power. But when that party takes his bread and butter out of his mouth, and destroys his business that has taken him life time to build up, he will not prove a very active worker in the cause, but on the contrary he will more than likely vote with the party that promises him protection to his business and a living to bis family.

THIRTY years ago there WAS not s cot tan-mill in the United States. The bat tl-- of the revolution had been fought, Clra0allis had surrendered, the old art ids of the confederation had been su- persedei by the Constitution of the U4i5n, when, in l79l the first cotton mil WAS erected on American soil, in the state oE Rhode Island. During the rext succeeding SIX years eleven addi- tiJual mlll- were erected ID the same State, two in Massachusetts, and one in Connecticut, making in all fifteen mills, working 5000 spindies, and making aa5ut 3laOD pounds yarn per annum. substantially wilu this showing the cot tlu iut-re-ts of this country passed from ta,. close Of the last century to the caeuiug of the present. The year 1890 made a feeble exhibit, and gave faint y-amisa of what followed. The Ameri- eau malu=acture of cotton m that year amounted 10 but 5Un bales; III 1895, 1000 bale: l8 lsI0, 10000 bales and in 1915, gtmD bales II VIII be seen that the American cotton factory was, indeed. once au infant, but It was robust child uf American genius and industry, and r grew rapidly. Now 1t stands an ac- kuawledg. glant of magnificent propor- tious. Ncs more than seven hundred and fifty Tnllls, manufacturing annually over one million and a half of bales, are iu operation not only in New England and New Y TX, but in New Jersey, Penn sy.yania, Delaware. Maryland, Ohio, and Indiana, as well as Alabama, Georgia, the two Csrolinas. Mississippi, Virginia, and other southern -tates. The water power in the southern States Is exten- sIve, and the cotton mannfactories In that section of our country may be easily doubled or guadrupled. The time Is c1min. when nearly all the raw cotton produced ID this country, will be manu- iactured at home. winch will give profit able employment to thousands upon thousands of men, woman and children.
