THE WELLINGTON ROAD.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-Let me thank
you for your friendly defense Of my course and
what 1 said about the good work lone by MIR,
Charles Mitchell IN the road leading from
Lexington to Wellington, as 1 had called the
public attention to the wretched condition of
this road sometime before this. and afterward
seeing the great improvement, / felt it due
the overseer to make the statement that l
did. At the same time, believing Mr.. Mitchell
was overseer Of this entire road, is why he
alone was commended. As to Mr.. Prewitt,
1 Am glad to say for him his work is we'll
done.

Will D. Carr, of the Knob Noster
Gem, was a witness in the arson case
which twas itried here this week.
Carr testified that Ed Love, one of the
defendants. came to his Office, on Sum-
day night, at $3.50 o'clock, bringing a
lot Of cheese, crackers, beer and cigars.
Another man helped to bring the
things to the Office. The three then
drank the beer, ate the cheese aud
crackers and smoked the cigars. Love
left at 1928 Monday morning, and there
were ii empty beer bottles. He thought
the assistant drank about n bottle,
and he and Love mad drank the re-
mainder. The testimony elected a
laugh all round, in which Carr could
not we'll refrain from quietly joining.

The Intelligencer has so often and so
severely criticised Mr.. Winsor, and
the entire council, that the charge that
it has refrained from criticising him,
because he is an advertiser, becomes
transparency false and malicious.
The paper Endorsed Mayor Hamlett's
appointment of committees after
the last election, the principal point
considered being that of emitting
Mr.. Winsor's name from the water
works committee. The writer has
SAID to the councilmen, to Mr.. Winsor,
to Mr.. Abendreth, and to Mr.. Nc
Grew, hat the two positions held by
Mr.. Winsor were incompatible with
each other. Mr.. WiDsor's reply was
that he really had moi a dollars owner
ship in the water company. was only
its officer pro lorna, and that he was
watching the city's interest. We think
Mr.. Winsor did well, however, in re,
signing from the waterworks board.
Gentlemen may differ as to question:
of public interest, indeed it would be
singular if they did not, and it is en-
tirely proper that they should discuss
them, fairly and c~ourteously, but vim
dictive vituperation, coarse vulgarity,
aud n~onsenslcal assumption of superb
ority, can advance no mans cause
The Intelligencer is a very independent
newspaper. 1t owes nothing to the
water company, and would not accept
from it a favor, big or little. II is as
free as air to criticise that corporation,
or any other in Lexington. 1t recog-
nizes no royal prerogatives, and it is
way beyond and above the black vomii
of malicious Misrepresentation.

The Intelligencer has known for
some weeks that Hon. w. H. Carter,
of this county, was suffering from men,
tai arrangement which at times
to insanity. With his family
we hoped that a little rest and careful
nursing might result in early restora-
ton to mental and physical health, and
therefore refrained from allusion to his
unfortunate condition, but on last Sat-
urday it was finally determined by Mr..
Carter's relatives to place him at the
asylum at Fulton for treatment. He
was taken to Fulton by DR.. VIM. c.
Webb and Mr.. Geo. B Gordon, both
old friends. Mr.. Carter has represent
ed Lafayette county in the general as
sembly OF Missouri three times, always
with fidelity and intelligence. Well
educated, offne personal appearance,
with singularly winning and engaging
manners, Mr.. Carter had a host OF
friends, indeed everybody who knew
him liked him. Conscientious in the
discharge of his duties he worked hard
as a legislator, and always stood high
with his fellow members of the legisla-
ture. At the last session he was chair
man of the committee on ways and
means, the most important committee
OF the house. Recently he has met
with verv severe financial reverses in
large cattle speculations in the
west. This, with brain fever,
brought on by exposure in connection
with his cattle interests, has brought
upon him the terrible affection Of which
we write. 1t is still hoped that repose
and medical skill may restore his mind
We most sincerely trust that it will.
Insanity is a dreadful affection; and
the affection does not fall upon him
alone, but it descends with crushing
effect upon the ones who love him
best. In their trouble they have but
one recourse; and the prayers OF hun
dreds who knew, and admired, and
loved Will Carter, as a true, noble,
Christian man, will be added to theirs
for his recovery. With Him all things
are possible.

Either disease will disappear in u

HOME MANURES.

The question of manures is now
one of great moment to the farmers
of Georgia. The lands of Georgia
are largely exhausted of plant food
elements. These have been consum-
ed by constant tillage in some lands
and in others the drenching rains
have carried away the fertile soil.
leaving the barren clay as surface.
When such lands lie level they can
be reclaimed and it is the duty of
farmers to reclaim them. This can
bedone in several ways.
A prominent gentleman Of Nova
Scotia says ''Decayed plants and
the refuse Of animals contain all the
constituents necessary for the growth
of similar product. "
Thus we see how clover, peas and
all descriptions ofleguminous plants
fertilize the soil when plowed under.
Many a worn out farm has been made
quite productive through such agen-
cics. We ought know that the most
energetic stimulant known ammonia
lis utilized in this way. Many farm
ers are employing peas on account
of their wonderful properties in this
direction, ! believe that peas are
Just as valuable as clover, for this
purpose. 1t they are what would be
the result to our lands in FIVE years,
planting and turning under! The
analysis of clover shows that its min
real fertilizing properties are equal
on an acre Of ground to $50 worth of
the commercial article. 1t would APP
peal to every farmer to take hold of
this question and see what there is
in it, by actural test The same
money spent in this way, that you
spend for the commercial article
might bring you in much larger pro-
fits. And besides this would be
constant improyer of your lands, and
and not a mere stimulant for one year.

PREPARATIONS FOR FALL WHEAT.

Some of the exchanges have been
emphazing the Importance of thor
ough preparation for the Fall wheat
seeding, and discussing the essential
points to be observed. A thorough
pulverization of the soil is very prop
crly advocated, as much of the seed
will fail to terminate in lumpy and
coarse soil, and even a considerable
portion of that which succeeds in
making its appearance will be unable
to fndplant food in the proper con
dition for assimilation. If in fine
particles, the necessary elements will
be readily taken up b. 'ho goung
rootlets and moisture will be readily
secured.
To make sure of putting the soil
in good condition.. pillow early and to
good sdepth, and make the surface
even as possible. 1t is very impor-
tant that the ground be free from
weeds and clear of trash, and if these
are well turned under at the early
blowing, they will be well decom-
posed, furnishing fertilizer in them
selves. Stir the surface frequently
to prevent any growth of weeds, and
to keepit well pulyerized The field
must not be infested with insect eggs
if insects were in last seasons har-
vest, do not think of sowing the
same ground to wheat this year. 1t
Is the safest way to follow some 9TH
er crop of the same season. The
treatment prescribed for wheat stub
bic where insects have operated, is to
pillow 1t soon after harvest and then
replow it , or ) times before Winter,
and SOW oats or rye on it in the
Spring, or rye and orchard grass.
EXterminate the pest if possible, and
as soon as possible, and keep the
wheat away from land having the
slightest trace Of eggs or larvae.
