CHECKING CoTTON-BRINaINa OLD
FIELDS INTO CULTIvATIoN.-Pleas give
me information on the following points:
l. How will it do to check cotton? It
is evident we must reduce the cost of its
production some way.
q wish to bring under cultivation
next year about 100 acres of land that has
been lying out for number of .yeais, most
OF it is covered with ssdge grass what is
the best ptan to adopt ?-S., Memphis,
Tenn.
ANswER-There is no objection in the
world to checking cotton, but the increased
liability to wash in rolling lands, and this
can be prevented b. having the rows hor.
izontal in one direction, and as soon as the
cotton is ploughed up and down hill, plough
at once in horizontal direction and oblite.
rate the furrows up and down hill 1t is
also said to be difficult to get stand when
the seed are dropped in checks , this can be
obviated by sowing in drills as usual and
then ploughiug across rows and cutting out
what is not wanted. We did that this year
with our entire crop and it worked admira.
blythe hoeing has been reduced to almost
nothing. Scarcely anything was needed
but to go over and thin out punches left by
the plough, the ploushs took care of the
grass.
2. After scdge gets dry in fall it rots
very slowly, and is in the way more or less
all during the FIRST year the land is cultiva.
ted. To burn off is obj ectionable, it being
very desirable to keep all the vegetable
matter on the land. A good plan is to turn
under about the time the broomsedge is put.
ting up its stalks. 1t is then compare.
lively tender and rots quite readily. 1t
soon gets hard and woody, the turning under
therefore must begin early and be pushed
rapidly. If this cannot be done, turn un.
der in October and November with two
horse plough, running deep, and provided
with hook or chain to drag sedge down
and get it completely buried. Ifnot in a
hurry to cultivate the land, SOW it down the
following June with PEAS, narrowing them
in so as not to disturb the sedge and bring
it to the surface. The land will then be in
good condition to SOW in grain in the fall,
or plant in corn the ensuing spring

A DISASTROUS ExPLosIoN.-One of
the most disastrous boiler explosions ever
recorded in this section occurred yesterday
on the place of Robert Williman, about
eight miles from this city. The engine was
running athrcshing machine when the belt
leading from the fly wheel of the engine
broke. The machine stepped, and several
of the hands gathered in the vicinity of
the engine to assist in fixing tho band
Suddenly the boiler exploded with terrific
force, hurling fragments and scaldiug water
In every direction. After few moments
had elapsed it was discovered that FIVE men
were severely injured by tho explosion and
two were fatally hurt
X
The accident occurred in the following
manner and the circumstances which en-
viron it arc a painful instance of what
heedlessness and reckless management will
cause +:
The thresher had been stopped when
the band broke. Elisha Wilson's crop was
being threshed the boiler showed pres
sure of 140 pounds of steam the safety
valve was tied Ned MoBraye7 said that
he must have so pounds more, and as the
safety valve was blowing off, he, with the
assistance of Wilson, began tying it more
tightly and weighing it more heavily. He
did not regard the warnings of those pres.
eat and with his companion continued the
hazardous work. What mighn nhave been
expected by any foolhardy and careless
man occurred. There was terrific de-.
tonation and the venturesome negro fell a
victim to his own folly.
B. f. Cox and Charles E. Carter were
only present as spectators, one of them be-.
ing about to engage the thresher to thresh
his crop.
LATEsT.-Dr. Long at..3 o'clock this
morning Informed a reporter for the Neos
that McBrayer was dead, the unknown
colored man who worked for John Sullivan
fatally injured, Elisha Wilson probably fa-
tally hurt, and that Mr.. B. F. Cox white,
was badly injured, the results depending
upon whether he was internally hurt or not.

Several Eastern papers are advo-
eating an income tax. a q means Of
raising revenue for the support Of the
Government. The New York World,
which Is e~ndeavoring to make the
lsvying of such a tax q political issue,
asserts that an income tax Is essen
TALLY . Democratic tax. 1t Is the
only tax that reaches the wealthy and
exempts the poor, while At present
the entire tax system bears upon the
poor as against the wealthy. The
World holds that the cry that the
party favoring an income tax would
Re destroyed, is simply nonsense.
Such q tai, exempting incomes below
$4,000, would reach less than = million
people, who could all afford TO pay,
while the custom duties aud internal
revenue taxes reach so 900 1000. The
World advises the Democrats 70 write

Lseasing Tee Mach Surface Greand.
When a man locates . lode mining
claim under the United States mining
laws, he Is allowed to take up $500
feet along the vein and 800 feet on
zach side. His location Is, therefore,
1880 by 800 feet. TO this be In n
titled. A man may take up more on
each side than he is entitled to, by
mistake or mismeasurement, but be
cannot hold 1t II the mistake IL dis
covered, and others may lawfully
locate tho excess as background to
other lodes. A ruling has just been
made by the Secretary of the Interior
10 The effect that the taking up Of
more width OF surface ground for .
mining claim than Is allowed by law
does not invalidate the location, and
the monument stakes may be- moved
TO cast OFT the excess.
This was the case Of . mine in
Tombstone, Arizona, where q Of the
objections raised TO granting the pat
ent was that the original location was
found by the examination preliminary
to tho survey on the ground To be
more than 800 feet In width, and the
claim was 30 reduced rs TO cast Of the
xcess.
The Secretary says: at can scarce
~ be seriously urg"d that such = cur
rection OF lines 10 bring theiu within
legal restrictions should be held TO
invalidate the original locations, any
more than . settlement claim OF pre-
emption could be held invalid be-
cause by mistake tho settler at the
first had mistakenly embraced in his
ding q larger area than 100 acres.
The rule has always prevailed to the
effect that he may reduce his claim by
proper amendment to include the le-
gal area. SO, also. OF homestead
entries"
