The President Makes tho Usual Call upon
the People to Render up Their Praises.
The President has issued n procla.
nation setting apart Thursday, the
Goth inst, as a day of THANKSGIVING
and prayer. The following is the text
of the proclamation:
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA-A PROCLAMATION.
The American people have always
abundant cause to DO thankful to AL
mighty God, whose watchful care and
guiding hand have been manifested in
every stage of their natural life
guarding and protecting them in time
of safety, leading them in the hour OF
darkness and of danger. 1t is fitting
and proper that a nation thus favored
should on one day in every year, for
that purpose especially appointed, pub
licly acknowledge the goodness of God
and return thanks TO Him for all His
gracious gifts. Therefore, j, Grover
Cleveland, President Of the United
States of America, do hereby desig-
mated and set apart Thursday, the
twenty-sixth day Of November, in
slant, as a day of public thanksgiving
and prayer, and do invoke the observ.
ance of the same by all the people of
the land.
On that day let all secular business
be suspended and let the people assem-
BILE In their usual places of worship,
and with prayer and songs Of praise
devoutly testify their gratitude to the
Giver of every good and perfect gift
orr all that He has done for us in the
year hat has passed; for our preserva-
ton as q united nation and for our
delivcrance from the shock and danger
of political CONFUSION; for the bless
ings of peace and for our safety and
quiet while wars and rumors of wars
have agitated and afflicted other nations
OF the earth; for II security against
the scourge of pestilence, which in
other lands has claimed its deaths by
thousands and filled the streets with
mourncrs; for the plcntcous crops
which reward the labor of the hus-
bandman and increase our nations
wealth; and for that contentmcnt
throughout our borders which follows
in the tIain of prosperity and abgn-
dance. And let there also be on the
day set apart o reunion of families
sanctified and chastened by tender
memories and associations, and let the
social intercourse of friends with pleas
ant "reminiscences renew the ties of
affection and strengthen the bonds of
kindly feeling.
And let us by no means forget, while
we give thanks and enjoy the comforts
which have crowned our lives, that
truly grateful hearts are inclined to
deeds of charity, and that the kind and
thoughtful remembrance of the poor
will double the pleasure Of our condi-
ton and render our praise and thanks
giving more acceptable in the sight of
the Lord.
Done in the City of Washington,
this I'd day of November, one tRous-

States the one hundred and tenth.

the direction in which the persons had
been seen to ascertain the object Of the
movement.
Dcponent went to the home of his
neighbor, Pat II. Bussey, and informed
him OF his purpose, and requested him
to go with him, which he did. Depo-
nent and p. Ii. Bussey overlook differ
ent citizens along the road, and when
they overlook ID. G.. Bussey, who was
riding, p. Ill. Bussey, who was on n
mule, rode with him. Deponcnt went
forward rapidly and found a number
of citizens at Antioch Church, and
was informed that others had ridden
in the direction of Edgefield. When
the citizens got together there was a
large gathering. Deponent was i'm.
formed that the object was to take
steps I o bring the murderer OF Ham.
mond to trial and punishment. When
1t was ascertained that a warrant had
been issued for the arrest of O. II,
CulDreath, some of the citizens, as
well as this deponent, advised the
crowd to disperso and go home and
allow the law to take it's course. Nc
objection was made, but the crowd
seemed satisfied and began to get their
horses, and persons began to leave.
When deponent saw P. H.. Busscy,
otN .~scy, w. l.. Mcdaniel and
h2uers mounted, he asked them if they
were ready to go home, and, being
answered that they were ready, depo-
nent went for his horse and they rode
off o o afterwards. Deponent and
others then rode off in the direction OF
their homes. Deponcnt saw q mum
Der of citizens along the road while
riding to his home, and particularly
when deponent passed the residence
of Wyatt l.. Holmes, where there are
several houses and it is quite q public
place. Deponent reached horne before
dark and remained there until next
dav.
DepOnent was not at all we'll. After
reaching home deponcnt sem for his
family physician, who remained with
him for some time. Deponent was
not present at the killing of o. r,
Culbreath, and was in no name con.
nected with the killing, and was not 0
party to any combination or conspir.
acy to kill or injure him.

Extensive Farming-Young Farmer w. O
Wadley.

Wauley.
The tendency for the past few years
has been to small rather than large
farms. The many details of mana J.
ment; the multiplied avenues of cx-
pense; the ineficiency of labor; the
great extent of land to be gone over,
and the general scattered condition of
things, all conspire to make farming,
on a large scale, a failure. Young
farmer, w. O. Wadley, of Boiling
broke, in this State, is, however, one
of the rare exceptions, making splen-
did success upon the extensive system.
Mr.. Wadley has in cultivation about
fifteen hundred acres of land. The
crop is cultivated by renters, choppers
and hands for wages. The renters IL
four mules and pay, as rent, one-third
of the grain and %one-fourth of the cot
ton they raise. Tho troopers run
twenty-onc mules, receiving onc-half
of everything they make, after paying
for one-half of the fertilizers. The
wages hands are graded from eight to
ten dollars per month and run fifteen
mules. The choppers and renters cul-
tivate from twenty to forty-fivc acres
per mule, and the wages hands twenty
five acres. The entire farm is under
the management and control Of Mr..
Wadley and his efficient superintend-
ent. Everything moves by signals,
that all hands alike must obey. Sat
urday is not a holiday; and If n rent
er's mule is found in the barn without
the consent of Mr.. Wadlcy or his
superintendent, the party leaving him
there is charged seycnty-fye cents q
day for mule feed.
Every minute of lost time is deduct
ed and every minute of labor is scru-
p%ulously paid for. All kinds of i'm
proved indictments are used, and par
ties using tool are held responsible for
them. The cultivation Of the crops on
this farm has been thorough and Judi
cious; and MIR. Wadley's neighbors
say they have owe seen q better crop
for so large an area. Many acres of
corn are estimated to yield fifty to
seventy-6ve bushels. Mr.. Wadley
does not give his attention to the cult
walton of his fields to the Neglect of
the other matters of the farm. His
barn is in keeping with his advanced
system of culture. 1t is large, well
ventilated, and commodious; with
different compartments for all kinds of
stock and conveniently arranged for
saving all the droppings from the ami
mails. Mr.. Wadley makes very mitch
of his manure at home, and in this
way greatly reduces expenses.
The poultry on this farm are BY no
means a small part Of It's interest. and
the home dairy, although run by native
cows, furnishes an abundance of rich
milk and excellent butter. Making his
living at home and not cultivating cot
ton to buy his provisions, this excel.
lent tyonng farmer has demonstrated
that farming does pay, and that il will
bring an ample reward when conduct
ed ON strict business principles, under
the direction Of good Judgment and tho

MISUNDERSTANDING leaves, etc., on
the land is a most effective method of
supplying humus. The only objection
to ii is its cost. Where everything is
convenient, it might pay very well,
but it is doubtful if its good effects
would be realized to any great extent
the first year, unless the leaves were
partially rottcd: especially is this true
of stiff soils. Fresh fallen leaves,
whether of pine or oak, but especially
oak, rot quite slowly. A better plan
to secure full effect at once, would be
to compost the leaves with lime or
ashes, in pens convenient to the land
in time to get them rottcd, and then
apply broadcast. TO keep land from
washing and teaching through the
winter, sow down in we, early in
September, and pillow the green rye in
with the leaves in the spring, say about
the middle of March, or some three or
four weeks before it will be necessary
to bed the land. There is no doubt
that four bales of cotton can be raised
to the acre; it has been done, but as
all average crop, embracing bad as
well as good seasons, it is probably
more than could be realized. Two
bales per acre is not an unreasonable
possibility as an average crop.-South-

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
Corn that Produces Flour Like Wheat.

LIN VuobI.
Mr.. w. j. Arrants has brought to
thc Columbia correspondent of the
NeUs and Courier samples of four
grades of white flour, the finest being
luentlcal in appearance and feeling
with the best wheat -four, and the
coarsest being finer than the ordinary
corn meal. This flour he saw ground
from corn in j. l.. D0minick's mill at
Peaks Station, Lexington county.
The mlll Is supplied with the ordinary
bu~rr-stoncs. The corn from which it
was made was raised by a farmer
living a few miles from Peaks. Year
before last he bought u pint of it in
the west and this year raised twenty
five bushels. Mr.. Arrants saws that he
ate biscuits and bread made from the
