TREATMENT OF COWPEAS.
DO Not PIOw Under the Green
Crop, But Try Another Plan.

The system of plowing under
cowpeas in the early fall | must
believr will he abandoned sooner
or later by all intelligent cultiva-
tors. Do not understand for mo-
ment that l am not an advocate of
fall plowing. There is nothing, in
my opinion, that does land sc
much good as thorough fall plow-
ing, and especially is this the case
with our heavy clay land of the
Mississippi delta, but DO not kill
the pea to do the plowing, and do
plant pea That will grow TIL
frost. Then plow them under if
possible; if not, let let Them alon"
until January; the pea will LOSE
nothing, and if your ground was
properly prepared at the time of
planting, it will MOI be in a bad
fix for spring, rest assured.
The causes for reaching these
conclusions could not be given IN
an ordinary newspaper article, but
let those that think nothing is
good but blowing under green
crops try the new plan. Plow un-
der one, cut and leave another; be
honest with yourself and watch
results. Let the winter frosts kill

they guarantee him protection. In
the face Of his experience q few

for Dargan to accept The invita-

and broad culture.
The latest and most improved
methods of teaching are taught,
and the teachers of our coun-
tv could not fail to be bene-
flied by attendance at this summer
school provided for them.
The attendance is smaller than
it should be, but all who Go 60
find the sessions intensely inter-

nifty afforded for further culture

could use in their school rooms,
the teachers of the county would
find it pleasant to meet and form

Miss Cofeld is a lady of long
experience in the school room
Her methods of child culture arc
admirable, and her manner of pre-

WHO IS WITHOUT GUILE, AND
PROPHET WHO IS NOT WITH
OUT HONOR IN HIS OWN
COUNTY.
Among the many pleasing In
cidents Of the first week of the In
stitute was the address on the To-
cal history of Edge6eld by Mr.
Arthur Tompkins Of the legal fra
ternity. 1t was an o'1a poartco'
of which variety the spice of life
was the chief ingredient; calmly
delivered, and listened to with un-
tagging interest by his very intel,
ljgent audience. He magnlheed
the comt,y--its schools, its teach
ers, and its products. Among It's
products were the men who illus
trated its history in business, IN
the professions and in politics
Examine this town or any other
and the men in it who were prom,
nent and successful were raised
on the farm. Their descendants
might and did deteriorate IN the
town, and new supply OF master
minds had to be furnished by the
farmer element.
Being a lawyer himself, ne as
serted that lawyers were honest
necessarily so-the profession de-
manded it. He named many Of
the men who had illustrated ano
made famous the past history Of
Edgefeld. In relating the partic'
ulars of the routing and running
off of Chamberlain and his blacE
hordes in 1876, he paid a glowing
and well-deserved tribute to Gen
Mart Gary as the fearless leader Of
the immortal Red Shirts and ilt
revolution which they began ane
ended in triumph. He said tha
Mart Gary had done what no 9th
er man then living could have
done, as he had a dash and DARN!
beyond description. Butler aided
but Ga1y was the great chieftaln @
the occasion and of the successful
emancipation of the State from ne

sTURUAGUA RESIGNS.
The Spanish Government Refuses 10
Accept His Resignation.


Madrid. March 2f.-senor e. De Muru-
aga, the Spanish minister in Washington,
cabled his resignation on March "A. The
minister Of foreign. affairs has refused
to accept 1t.
London. March 2l.-The Central News
correspondent in Madrid says: '"The lead
ing politicians here are not inclined to
the idea Of letting the Allianca affair re-
suit in a serious difference between Spain
and the United States. The matter ought
to be adjusted easily unless the United
States insists upon demands injurious to
Spain's dignity Spain is most anxious
to maintain the friendship Of the two
countries and would even prefer TO waive
an over close investigation and accept
the Washington view rather than risk
a quarrel. Some Of the leading journals
have argued in this spirit with view
to preventing public Indignation In case
the government yield 10 the United
States"
Washington. March 2l.-senor Muruaga,
the Spanish minister, admits the correct
ness of the report cabled from Madrid
that he had rendered his resignation, and
that the tender had been declined. He re-
fuses to talk upon the subject One Of his
friends, however, explains that Senior
Muruagua rendered his resignation be-
cause his official conduct had been ad-
verseiy criticised by some Cuban news
papers, notably Havana journals. He felt
also that he had been misrepresented by
some American newspapers.
His resignation was consequently sent
in on March "A. and the reply he re-
ceived from the Spanish minister for
foreign affairs was such as TO completely
vindicate mis- position.

MATAAFA's DEPORTATION.
Sir Edward Grey Explains the Prom
Use of War ships Captain.

London, March 21.-In the House of
Commons to-day James F. Hogan, anti
Parnellite member for the Middle divis-
ion of Tipperary asked the government
what truth there was in the statement
made in one of the last letters of the
late Robert Louis Stevenson on that ex-
King Mataafa Of Samoa, after submitting
to the authorities, had been brought to
Apia on board British ship. the captain
of which, pointing to the British flag, de-
clared that he would be safe Hereunder
Notwithstanding this promise, according
to Mr.. Stevenson, Mataafa was sent to
the Marshall Islands.
Sir Edward Gray said that the captain
Of the British ship had only promised
Mataafa that his life would be spared
and had not taken any part in his de-
porta ation. The latest advices from Samoa
Sir Edward said, conveyed the information
that all the deported chiefs were well
treated. and that arrangements had been
made for their families to join them.
