TOBACCO RAISING IN GEORGIA.
Results That Shows 1t Is a Successful Crop
The Experimental Farm.

Waycross, Ga, December G.-(Special)-
The CXeplrmental tobacco farm near here
was started last winter. 1t was made a
stock company, composed of about twenty
stockholders. Enterprising farmers and
business men are at the head of the concern.
A lot of land was bought, and q supern-
tendent was engaged to have the work done
properly. About thirty acres were planted
in tobacco. The spring season was dry, and
there was some trouble in TRANSFORMING the
plants This caused a delay in getting a
good stand. About this time, w. \. Pas
chal, an experienced tobacco grower from
North Carolina, was engaged to superin-
tend the farm. He put his experience and
energy TO work, and the young plants be-
gan to grow. The farm was soon green with
the weed. Up to this time the scheme was
looked upon with disfavor by the farmers
generally. They would shake their heads,
when asked their opinion of the enterprise.
But when the farm was covered with
healthy growing tobacco, they would go
over and watch the work going on. Their
interest in the farm was increased with
each new leaf that branched out from the
stalk. They were pleased But, when the
plants reached maturity and the leaves be-
gan TO ripen. a feeling of uneasiness came
over them. How was the tobacco TO be
cured?" was asked by every one. The
Superintendent erected suitable barns, and
began to harvest the crop.
The leaves were carried to the barn and
filed on hooks for the purpose. When the
harm was filled to its capacity, the furnaces
were made hot to certain temperature,
and then the work of curing began.
The first barn Of tobacco was cured sue

found Miss Quick reclining on the sofa
dead with bullet hole in her temple and
her brothers 22-callber Winchester rife

ball had coursed downward and backward
through the brain and death must have
been instantaneous. There was no sign
OF powder marks or burns about the
the wound, although it required the entire
length OF her arm to reach the trigger,
even when the muzzle was directly against
her head.
The deceased was twenty-nine years of

Deaths.

MARTINsvILLE, Feb. Is Special. /
Thomas Dougherty, aged eighty-two years,
died his homo in this city last night Of
la prippe. Mr. Dougherty was at one
time one of the wealthiest farmers and
stock traders in Morgan county. During
the late war man named Carter, living
three miles east of her, was murdered
Suspicion pointed so strongly toward
Dougherty that an indictment was re-
turned against him. His fortune was en-
tirely spent in getting out of this trouble,
which was accomplished by delaying the
case coming to trial from term to term,
and finally carrying it to another county,
where he came clear. Many friends lost
confidence in him and he became very
unpopular. He was found guilty of steal
ing cattle a few years ago and paid the
penalty by serving the state two years in
the southern penltentiary. When he died
he was penslOner on the county.
