But chiefly for the love of right.

ARRESTED FOR LARCENY.
Well known Citizens Bound Over
to the Next Term Ofthe Dis
trict Court.

Warrants were-sworn out by John Sulli-
van of Ashley against r. o. Hall, his son
Dock Hall, and DIR. H. H. Little, charging
them with the larceny of ground feed from
his premises, and the arrests were made by
Deputy Sheriff Fish on Friday last. 1t is
alleged that the persons named drove out to
Sullivan's place in the night and stole a
number of sacks of ground feed, and that it
was identified in the possession of Little, in
his barn, covered with a layer of unground
rye, and that one of the sacks was found in
the possession of r. o. Hall, at his home.
There are rumors of various kinds afoat
relative to the matter, but thus far all that is
known came out at the examination held be-
fore Judge Wilcox Monday, when testimony
was brought out by the prosecution as indi-
Gated above. The defense offered no EVIL
dence whatever. M. c. Kelsey appeared
for defendant Dock Hall, and upon his motion
he was discharged as there was no evidence
that he was implicated in any way. A SINH
lar motion was made by attorney VanCamP
for his clients, X. O. Hall and DR.. Little,
and opposed by County Attorney J. d. Sulli-
van, who appeared for the state. They were
bound over in the sum of $500 each to APP
pear before the grand jury at the December
term of the court. Mr.. Hall Immediately
gave bail, and it is probable that DIR. Little
will also secure signatures to his bond.

THE free coinage of silver advocates
demand equal treatment of silver and
gold by the government-the demand
being for admission of silver to the
mints at the ratio Of sixteen to one.
The HERALD agrees with them in this:
to admit both metals for coinage, or
stamping, and that neither Of them be
declared legal tender. In other words,
it would be better for our monetary sys-
tenn if there were no such thing as
"legal' tender money of any kind, but
that it should all float at its true value

FERTILIZING.

The ground should be fertilized after
each and every cutting, blowing in the
leaves. Burning the hurdy or woody
parts, serves as fuel to run the engine,
and the ashes are mixed with COW or
other stable manure and spread over the
soil. Kennel and cotton seed meal in
equal parts, are better with sandy soil.
The clay, loamy soil yields the largest
amount of fibre. The very exhaustive
nature of the plant explains the impor-
tance of careful manuring or fertilizing.
The planting of black eyed marrow fat
peas after the fall cutting in the burrows,
furnishes an excellent fertilizer, by plow
ing them under in the spring, and also
affords protection to the ramie stubble
or roots in a severe winter.
Ramie will stand about the same de-
gree of cold as sugar cane. or perhaps
trtie more.

Ramie for the South.

Ramie for the South.
An instructive pamphlet on ramie
culture has been written bv Mr.. S. B.
Allison, of Louisiana, and published by
the Perseverance Fibre Co., limited, of
New Orleans. The pamphlet dwells at
considerable length upon the profits of
the industry. From statistics there ap-
pears to be no reasonable doubt that the
cultivation of ramie would be a great
addition to the industries of this State.
However, it is matter of experiment,
and while we do not say it in spirit of
carping criticism, or for the pleasure of
Kicking" we must express the opinion
that it is a misfortune to the State and
it's people shat the Florida Experiment
Station has not experimental along this
line-not only in reference to ramie. but
with many other products and crops Of
which our people know nothing, but
which might prove of the greatest value
to them, especially at this time.
From the pamphlet above referred to
we extract the following in regard to the
cultivation of the plant in the South.
1t is proper, however, to say that Mr.
Allison's remarks in reference to the
cultivation of the plant having passed
it's experimental stage, refers to Louis
lana and that section of the South and
not to Florida, although it is likely that
what is true of Louisiana would be true
of Florida.
Mr.. Allison writes:
CULTIVATION IN SOUTHERN STATES.
The accimating test and experimental
stage has passed. and we now have posi-
tive proof that from the rapidity of the
growth of ramie, two crops are obtain
able after the first year, annually, with
an average yield of 500 to 5000 pounds
of dry ribbon per acre, and from 800 to
1900 pounds for the first years crop,
from good soil, properly prepared. In
preparing the field, deep blowing is very
essential. Before bedding up the land,

or half shovel, then use a turning pillow
making the beds four feet from center.
Harrow the ground we'll so as to give
mellow soil to receive the roots. Out
roots in pieces 5 or 6 inches long, and
drop about one foot apart in the rows
and cover about d inches deep. Plant
ing should be done between March l,
and Is, and if the weather is warm,
the young plants will begin to come up
in eight or ten days. An even stand is
very essential In producing smooth,
straight roots and even fibre, and it is
well to keep enough roots on hand to
replant all that did not grow When
the Young plants average Is or Is inches
in height, the next work is barring off,
and this is very important. Throw the
soil back, bend the young reed down
towards the water furrow, cover with
three inches of soil leaving three or four
inches of the top uncovered, press the
soil well and in few weeks they take
root and begin throwing up shoots, and
YOU will have no further planning for
years. Remember, deep blowing is the
life of ramie, and it is we'll to keep Ii in
ches free from root between the rows

HARVESTING.

AS soon as the ramie stalks are ripe,
they begin to change from green to red
dish brown near the roots, and when the
brown color extends up about six inches
from the roots. the fibre is in the best
condition, and should then be harvested,
to give the next crop chance to grow.

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-05-01

The Young plants begin to make their
appearance at the same time the stems
of the old stalks show signs Of seeding.
When the seed begins to mature or ripen,
the fibre becomes coarser, and the stalks
send out little branches that make it
more difficult to decorticate and also
give an output of mixed fibre which
cannot be used in the manufacture of
fine goods, and consequently, is not as
valuable. The cutting of the fibre
should be done before the stalks begin
to branch.
CUTTING.
Hold the top of the stalk in the left
hand and with the right hand strip off
the leaves by passing it quickly down
the stalk to the root, and cut off with a
sharp knife taking care to be above the
hairy net work of roots, as these should
be Immediately covered up with manure
to insure another crop. Lop off the
tender part of the stalk and make the
reeds into bundles of $50.
Ramie may also be cut by reaping ma
chimes or self binders the same as rice or
wheat, thus bringing the cost of harvest
ing a crop to the same maximum of ex
pense. 1t can be cut with any reaper
that will lay the stem parallel in an even
swath. The Stems are fed into the ma
chine with the small ends first.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-05-01
WETTING PITS.

AS wilted stems cannot be decorticated
and owing to the impcssibilitv of pre-
pairing fibre from all the green stems be-
fore they wilt, the stalks should be
placed in a wetting pit e cubic yards
extent and lined with cement) and the
following mixture added: 5 pounds flour
sulphur 5 pounds potash, 5pounds char
coal (pine or willow coal is preferable).
Each vat will hold about 5000 pounds
green stems, and in about four or six
days, the rotting will be finished, if the
reeds are kept covered with water. The
bundles of stems can then be taken out,
partially opened and set up in conical
stacks to dry, and when dry can be
stored for length of time, without in
Jury to the fibre. The leaves can also
be thrown into the watts when not in use,
and when rotted, their stems will furnish
about one-half per cent of paper stock,
worth about three cents per pound. At
the same time, the entire LIQUID fur
nishes an excellent fertilizer which can
be used in dry weather to great advan-
tage, or can be used by composing with
cow. dung or other stable manure, always
avoiding pig manure.

Calling Guns for the Royalists,

gatling guns, intended for the use

be en- route to Puget Sound from
eastern states. The Hawaiian gov
eminent having learned that they
had been ordered sent secret
service agent to intercept them,
This agent arrived last week and
gives his name as III. M. Allen. He
bears credentials signed by high
officials Of the republic. He told
Northern Pacific officials he did
not think they should carry con-
traband articles over their road,
They smiled and said the road
would haul all freight offered. II
the guns arrive Allen will notify
the customs authorities and ask
them to stop their shipment. His
belief is they will be loaded aboard
some lumber schooner and shipped
to Hawaii. He employed Seattle
detectives to watch the Great
Northern there. The railroad men
say they have no knowledge OF
guns. Allen thinks the royalists
are planning for a demonstration
next September.

Brutal Work of whitecaps.

LEAvENwoRTH, Kans., July 81
A special to the Times from West
moreland, the county seat Of Potto-
wattomie county, says that at IL
o'clock last night four masked men
took Rev. T. 8. Rocks, the Baptist
minister at that place, from his
home to a place five miles in the
country, and tarred and feathered
him. They kicked and beat him in
a brutal manner, and he is lying at
a farmers house outside the town
in a critical condition. Mrs. Rocks
went along with her husband and
says she knows the whitecappers.
She will swear out warrants for
their arrest. Excitement over the
affair runs high at Westmoreland
and surrounding country. He is ac-
cused of trying to assault young
woman.
