The officers and men of the cruiser
Atlanta, which Is to help protect the
interests of the United States while the
two warning Nicaraguan factions are
fighting it out, do not contemplate the
duty before them with much satisfac-
tion. They expect that they will be
obliged to pass the entire summer at
Greytown, and as the mercury there
during the heated term ranges from 1Oo
to ITO degrees, they will be half baked
before they receive orders to sail for a
more congenial climate.

The lengths to which lawyers will
go in behalf of a client is shown in a
case now before the Missouri supreme
COURT in which entire pages of the
transcript of the case of man con-
victed of diabolical murder have been
removed and others substituted and
the record SO changed as to destroy the
convicting testimony of witnesses. 1t
is to be hoped that the strong arm of
the law will reach the offenders and
that the most severe punishment may
be meted out to those who would thus
tamper with the administration of jus

: The idea of the socialists that all
evils can be eradicated by law and that
the inequalities under which life is hard
to some and easy to others can all be
corrected by the adoption of peculiar

There is no form of government which

The Chinese government, in view of
the declared constitutionality of the
Geary law, will probably feel called
upon to order the deportation of all
Americans resident in China. We must
expect this, nor have we any right to
protest when it is done. If our citizens
were shut out of England we would at
once Danish every Englishman from the
United States in retaliation. And now,
rs we propose to Danish Chinese from
the United States, we must not expect
Americans TO be allowed to remain in

tenants who rent the land, furnish the la
Dor and the stock and are at all the ex-
pense except for one-fOurth Of the tertll-
izerS and one-fourth of the cost OF ginning
the cotton. They pay to Colonel Smith
one-fourth of all the crops made, for the
use of the lands.
The Choppers
About 1000 acres are cultivated on
shares, the owner of the land furnishing
the mules and implements, feed for the
mules, houses for the choppers, and he gets
one-haf of the crop, paying for one-half
of the fertilizers.
One-fourth of the tenants are white. AS
a rule the whites are the most Industrious
and intelligent and make the best crops
among the tenants. A number, of the
negro tenants farm With Judgment
and clear some money every year. Several
white tenants OF former years have saved
money and are now land owners themselves,
having bought from Colonel Smith on long
time and at an easy rate OF interest.
On this tract of land are three colored
churches, three school houses for the use
of the colored children, three schools for
whites and two churches for whites. Some
of the churches are for MethodlStS and
others belong to the Baptist denomination.
White teachers are employed for the white
schools and colored teachers for the negroes.
Plenty OF Provender.
Colonel Smith has on hand now 5000
bushels of old corn which he has kept i'll
the shuck and 1000 bushels of oats from
the crop of 1892. He has large amount
of forage and believes that he could make
his crop next year without having to use
any of this years crop for his stock. He
sows wheat for the double purpose OF get
ting some grain and to improve the worn
out lands which have been planted in cot
ton for number of years in succession.
Wheat gives the land Il rest and replaces
in it some vegetable matter. His wheat
is generally planted on the poorest lands.
Hence the yield is lighter than it would be
otherwise. Rye and COW peas and clover
are all planted to rest the land, and these
crops do improve it. His best land would
make from fifteen to twenty-five bushels
of wheat and from twelve to twenty bush
els of rye per acre. Wheat is sown from
November LIST TO the middle of December:
oats from the middle of August to the
LIST of March. Other things being equal,
the earlier the crop is planted the better
the yield.
He makes all his fertilizers himself using
cotton seed meal and mixing it with dis
solved bone muriate of potash and k;tinit
lie owns Il three-prcsS cotton seed oil mill
and presses annually about 1000 tons of
cotton seed. The oil rs refined in his own
refinery and sold. The meal is used for
feed for the cattle and for fertilizers. The
huls are fed to the cattle. The money
obtained from the sale of the oil pays for
the dissolved bone and other Ingredients
of the fertilizers. FRANK WELDON.

numerous cattle thieves and smugglers who

pected to follow in Il few days. All who

must have his pump to raise the water
from the canal to the bitches running
through his farm. Pasha Mailer and large
planters will have great steam pumping

farmers generally had small pumps which
they moved about from place to place. This
was expensive and was hard on the ma

Waco. Tex, August 22.-(Special.)-A
special to The Evening News from Palo
Pinto, Texas, an obscure part OF the state'
says:
The most horrible and bloody crime ever
perDetratcd in this county occurred last
night about 10 o'clock near Pleasant val

Miss Ida Beatty and James Bly, were re-
turning home from church together from

through the heart, killing him instantly.
At the firing of the first fatal shot, Miss
Beatty's horse became frightened and made
a break for the woods, followed by Nall.
After running about four hundred yards,
Nall succeeded in overtaking her, and with
one blow of his gun knocked her from her
horse, crushing her head He then placed
the muzzle of the gun to her forehead and
fred shooting u part of the skull off and
scattering her brains all over the ground.
When he had destroyed beyond all doubts,
the life of the girl, he then placed the gun
to his own head and sent his own soul into
eternity. The top of his head was blown
off.
The Father Heard the Shots.
At the time the first shot was fired,
Captain j. NJ. Bly,, father Of young bly,,
was a few hundred yards i'll the advance
