Of manure, which was lying idle, with
mushroom spawn, at a total expense. in

and the rent OF the land, of $50. From
some unexplained cause forty-two yards OF
the manure beds failed to yield, but the
crop from the remaining 122 yards was

cleared profit of e44. The price OBJ

The Low Moor from Work

The status of business can we'll be
guaged by the increase and decrease in the
manufacture of iron and steel. In these
two Industries, especially that of the man

years has forged ahead, and now stand E
almost, if not quite, in advance of any
other section of this country. The Low
Moor Iron Works. at Low Moor, Va, q
short distance out of this State. on the
chesapeake and Ohio Railway, is one OF
the best furnaces in the country and has
capacity for turning out 140 tons per day
This company is now putting in ne~
plant that will have when completed the
same capacity, this will make these works
the largest in this country, and perhaps
unsurpassed by any iron works in the
world. The coke used at Low Moor is
manufactured near the furnace and is used
While hot. The coal from which it is
made is taken from the mines of Beury.

county. Right here it may be proper to
add that coke made from New river coal
gives II per cent. better results, by actual
test, than the celebrated Connelsyille coke.
Hull u Co., Of Louisville, made the test
OF the respective merits of these two cokes
and found that coke made from New
river coal yielded IL per cent. better re-

From Me Fort Gaines tGa.) Tribune.

From he Fort Gaines ga Tribune.
Last Wednesday morning some one
came to our Office stating that Isabella
ROney, sentenced the day before TO the
penitentiary for lite, had made her ESCAPE
by breaking through the plastering in the
top Of the room and coming down through
the scuttle hole, aud thus made her escape
1t IS evident that she " as advised as to the
manner OF her exit. She is a woman with
an irresistible deter mination, and with
the awful sentence Of a life in the peniten-
tiary hanging over her, man could not be
more daring. If she was advised
how 10 escape, her friends may
have furnished her weapons OF resistance,
and the man who arrests her may be on
his guard. Our Sheriff, Mr.. II. q. Cole
man, Is doing all he can TO get her back.
Last week a petition was circulated
among our lcitizens begging His Honor,
Gov. Mcdaniel, to reverse the decision of
the courts in the case OF Willis Hudson.
who was sentenced 10 hang, ana
impose upon him a penaity-the rest of
his life in the penitentiary. We refused
10 sign IL, though the MAJOR part OF our
citizens did. As so many were surprised
that we did not sign It, we assign the
simple reason that the mandate of the
law had not been met. Nr. Hud-
son had fair and impartial trial, and
was found guilty of murder. Justice
SAYS. whose sheddeth mans blood, by
man shall his blood be shed.v Hudson
has not satisfied justice. On, how gladly
would we hail the news OF his pardon II
he had satisfied the law. But for the sake
OF Justice, for the sake of society, for
morality and Christianity, we refused 10
sign the petition. We think Gov. Mo.
Daniel will decide with Us.
