A BREAD AND MEAT CONVENTION

A BREAD AND MEAT CONVENTION
To tie Editor of The News aud Courier
The Convention of Farmers which will meet
at Columbia on Thursday next will havo a
great many questions to consider in conuco-
tion with the material condition of the
State. 1t is not likely that much good will
be accomplished, and in order to prevent
great deal of unnecessary discussion we
respectfully submit the following paper,
with the suggestion that it be adopted as
coon as the Convention is organiznd, and
that the Convention thereupon Immediately
adjourn sine die:
Whereas, it is admitted that the farmers
of this State for several years, last past,
have failed to raise enough supplies for
themselves and also for those not engaged
in agriculture
And whereas the latter classes, at great
Inconvenience to themselves, have been
forced to obtain their supplies from other
States
Aud whereas, this failure has not re-
suited from any deficiency in the quantity
of land cultivated, not from a want Of the
fertility Of the soil, but from improper cul-
ture and management
And, whereas, it is very important that
State should be selfsustaining in this re-
spect;
And whereas. it is believed that sufficient
time, patience and endurance have been
exercised towards the farmers in this behah.
Now it is suggested that convention of
the non-agricultural classcs.be called to meet
at the Capital of the State on the 4th day
of July next, for the purpoae of taking
steps, either by the appointment of a re-
ceiver, or otherwise, to turn out all those
now engaged in farming, from the noun
tains to .hc seaboard with the view of OBJ
tanning a new set of farmers, who will
pledge themselves to raise enough produc-
for us Observation-Disclosures and non. agrcul
turists as we'll. This convention shall not
be considered political in any respect, but
purely bread and meat convention.

GERMAN MILLET.-I have two acres of
loamy clay bottom land, third years cult
vation, sown in oats want to plant in
German millet after oats are cut in June.
Which is best, to SOW broadcast or in drills
and how much seod to the acre? What
will be best to manure it with Made fifty
bushels of corn to acre last year without
any manure.-P. b. NJ, Harlem Ga.
Auswer.-German millet will make a
large coarse stalk if not crowded. On the
other hand, if sown too thick it does not do
well. Drilling crowds the plants sufficient
iy to minify the stalks and yet gives air and
light enough to permit healthy growth.
Half bushe of seed is enough for an acre.
AS it is very rapid-growing and maturing
crop. it calls for manure that is very quick
ly available. A good ammoniated guano or
a well-fermented compost would answer.
A mixture Of cotton seed meal and acid
phosphate one-third meal and two-tbirds
phosphate, would give good results

THE FATE OF CLUvERIUs SEALED
Richmond, Va, May 9.-The Supreme
Court Of Appeals of Virginia to-day rem
dered a decision in the case OF Ts j. du-
verius, convicted in the Hastings Court
of this city of the murder, on March 13,
1885, of Fannie Lillian Madison. Tne case
is notoriously known as the reservoir muir
der mystery. The judgment of the lower
Court is fully sustained. Eight bills Of
exception were fled by the prisoners coun-
sci, being elaboratoly discussed and success
sively overruled.
The opinion was delivered by Judge
Fauntellry, the Court standing 4 to in,
favor of sustaining the judgment of the
lower Court Judge Hinton dissented, be-
ing in favor of new trial.
Cluverius will surely hang, unless Execu-
tive clemency interposes.. The time first
fixed for his execution has long passed by.
Ho will have to be brought before the Huss
tings Court for resentence.

and the morale of the company better for tho
next fight. But he was inexperienced, smbi-
tious and reckless, and thought soldiers were
machines and orders were given to be obeyed.
1t was afterwards said that one of the bat
tcries Of Washington Light Artillery was or
dored there, but had too much experience to at
tempt to occupy position that was not tenable.
In our inexperience we attempted to obey tho
orders. Whether Capt. Boyce or Gen. Evans
was to blame for the blunder do not know.
Immediately following this was an indiscretion
for which Capt. Boyce was inexcusable: Five
horses out of six to one caisson had been killed
and the Other left mortally wounded. Sergeants
c. t. Scaife and Jvmes Bunch, with four or
five men, were ordered back to bring the horse
away and roll the casson down the hill by
hand, thus subjecing them and the infantry
to another severe ass. While we were drilling
at the race course, two of our horses made
lore use of their heels than was safe for the
men, and Lieut.. Jeer expressed the wish that
both might be killed in the first battle. That
was the first, and both were killed. At the
same time they were killed, John Grow, be-
lieve it was, had the horrible experience of
seeing his horse shot from under him. The
shell passed through his saddle horse and e1-
ploded inside of his off wheel horse.
Fortunately for the morale Of the Macbeth
we were ordered to join two batteries that
were passing by, to take positions in piece of
woods to the right of Graveyard Hill and open
on the same batteries. Shot and shell in the
very midst of them wcre the first notice that
they had of our hostile intentions. We sue
ceedcd in moving them just about as quick as
they moved us from Graveyard Hill. Gen.
Longstreet says, in reference TO this last action,
that the enemy were worsted, and out of spite
set fire to some farm houses. I was of the i'm
preston that the houses referred to were fred
by our shells, and that impression still re-
mains. 1t was now dusk and the ecemy be-
yond the range Of our guns, SO we returned to
tho house where we left the road in the morn;ug
and parked our guns for the night. We fed
