ioyed In this country, and the more
delicate, lighter leaves, SUCH as are
grown in Pinehurst, are preferred TO
those imported. Many Vf IAe Japanese
teas are prepared for the market in
the most artistic nauner and the pro-
cess of curing Is conducted with the
greatest care. Some yarities of the
teas possess peculiar aud delicate
hayors and considerable skill Is re-
CURED in caring II packing the
leaves 80 as not to destroy or lose the
flavor. The Japanese are noted for
neatness and artistic skill in prcpar-
ing these teas for the markets, and
probably as much depends upon this
skilled labor rs upon the plants them
selves.
AT Pinehurst the delicate, highly
favored and expensive teas that are
peculiarly adapted To the needs OF the
American market have alone been
raised. The Assam hybrids have been
planted chiefly, although experiments
are being made with the seeds OF
many other kinds. Originally all tea
plants came from those growing In
Assam, and the many changes that
have since occurred In the nature OF
the plants nave been brought about by
y Thousand years of cultivation i'm
other parts of the world. The two ex-
tremes OF the plants are TO be seen In
the true Assam and the Chinese
stunted tea growths. The latter rare
ly grow more than three feet in height,
with leaves three inches long and one
inch wide. They yield annually three
or four crops. The vigorous Assam
plauts, on the CONTRARY, attain q
height Of thirty and t~hirty-hvs feet In
the moist jungles when not pruned,
and have leaves seven and eight
inches long and three inches broad.
They often yield twenty-five crops OF
young leaves in one season. In the
cultivated and pruned state these
plants are enormous compared with
the stunted Chinese growths. In
China the plants have deteriorated
from neglect or starvation, while the
CLIMATE has had much to do in re-
dueing their size and prOductiveness.
at Pinehurst the Chinese varities
have been greatly improved by cul.
tivaGion, and they have produced bet.
ter tea than in China. The true
Assam is hard to cultivate outside OF
a small part OF British India. Be-
tween these two extremes of the tea
plants there are many varieties thai
have been produced by naturalization
and these so-called Assam hybrids
represent every modification of the
two parent stocks. Many of them are
considered an Improvement over the
true Assam variety, and some Of then
are cultivated in all parts of the tea
growing world. NThey represent the
broad and narrow leaf and gradua
notifications between the two. /
two gardens are close together til,
varieties are apt to together ant
perform LIBERALIZATION of themselves
In order to obtain true plants it i
necessary to get seed that has beer
separated from all other varieties q
tea plants BY raising plants fron
cuttings the difficulty is settled in tn,
easiest way, and this is a favorit
manner OF starting new gardens.

and Cotton Seed Meal.
The Director OF the Georgia Expert
mental Station contributes the follow
ing article to the Atlanta Constitution,
and farmers would do we'll to study the
facts and figures given:
There is no doubt of the TACT that
the advent OF the cotton oil mill has
been OF considerable benefit TO farmers
In enhancing the market value of cot
ton seed. At times there has been a
disposition on the part of some of the
mills TO squeeze the farmer, as we'll as
the seeds, In the terms they offer. 1t
js we'll therefore, for the farmer 10
understand the actual and relative
commercial values of whole cotton
@ and cotton seed meal, both for
ood and for fertilizing purposes. Ac-
cording TO the best authorities the fol-
lowing are the fertilizing contents of
one ton each OF cotton seed and cotton
seed meal, and the commercial value
OF n on OF each, based on q valua-
tion OF 10 cents per pound OF available
p~hosphoric acid and 5 cents per pound
Of potash
In n ton OF cotton seed there are 81
pounds OF nitrogen, 20 pounds OF pbos-
phoric acid, 23 pounds of potash the
value of one tor is $1l.40; the value of
100 pounds Is 81 cents.
In n ton of cotton seed meal there
are 142 pounds Of nitrogen, So pounds

burg Tn Horrible story Of a Guilt,
Wife.
The trial Of Ed Greene, John PAGE
and Mrs. Fannie Carson for the muir.
der OF j. q. Carson, the husband of the
woman On trial, took place in Spartan
burg last week, and ended on Sunday
morning with Il verdict of guilty as &c
all three prisoners, with a recommen.
dation to mercy in the case of Fanny
Carson and John Page.
The sensational feature of the trial
was the confession of Mrs. Carson as tC
the guilt OF Greene and Page, and her
W guilt as an accessory in the MUIR
der oi her husband. Her confession
was made in the first instance to Adam
w. Ballenger, who was the foreman of
the corOner's jury, and her statement
was made to him u few days before the
trial. He was requested to see her at
the jail. She began by saying that
she did not wish TO die with the truth
untold about the affair.
Oh the evening before he was killed
Greene and Page came to her house
about two hours before sun. Greene
said they were going to kill Carson that
night about I'D o'clock. He was going
to pay Page 800 to assist him in doing
the work. They hen left her house.
She vert to bed as usual and dozed
or. About I'D o'clock she awoke and
got up, and went out through the din
ing room to the kitchen. and saw
Greene and Page. She then went back,
lighted u lamp, got her little girl and
went out again the same way. She saw
the same w mon again, one OF them
having an X handle in his hand. She
went out to The well and sat down, then
went TO the other side of the house.
when they came out Greene started
towards her and she motioned him with
her hand 10 go away, as the child was
awake. b said that they wanted to
do this work several times. For five
years she n her husband lived hap
PLY together. About the time the last
child was born he got very unkind and
jealous. LII she went anywhere and
spoke To anyone he was very unkind
about it, and she felt that she could
hardly stand 1t any longer and lost her
love for him. That was her story tn
Mr.. Ballenger.
Judge Earle charged the Jury that
Mrs. Carson's statement did not affect
The other two prisoners In the least.
1t could only be takon as evidence
against herself.
The attorneys OF Mrs. Carson put her
on the stand. She co~rroborated the
witnesses in the main facts,
the history OF the conspiracy
She repeated all that Ballenger had
stated as coming from her and gave
of the details. She stated that
Greene and Page were out In the ward
ghen she went out about 10 o'clock.
She told them that Carson was asleep
md all things we're ready for the work.
They asked her to go back and light o
amp, which she did.
According to her statement the

drick opened for Mrs. Carson, and made
q most touching and pathetic address.
He admitted that his client stood con-
victed by her wi evidence, and said
tina she only asked the mercy of the
Court.
Major'D. II. Duncan followed for the
State, and showed that suicide was i'm
possible. He also stated that Black
wells testimony must be true, as it
was not contradloted by any other wit
ness. II he was telling an untruth then
Mrs. Carson made q false confession.
he showed very clearly that Greene
was the principal actor. The testi-
mony of all the witnesses pointed to
That fact. Mr.. Earle, a son of the pre-
siding Judge, had been employed by
Greene He made a short speech, tho
main point being that Mrs. Carson
alone did the bloody work. Solicitor
Schumpert spoke for the State. He
had the facts we'll in mind, and his ar
gument was clear, logical aud convinc-
ing. Mr.. Simpson spoke for Mrs. Car
son, anu made an earnest appeal for
mercy, not liberty. Mr.. Johnson closed
Tor his client, Page, and made u very
strong and convincing speech, and to
his argument, it Is believed, Page owes
his life.
Mr.. Mooney began the closing argu-
ment at 40, and continued for two
hours and ten minutes. His main point
was that the State had not made out
it's cas- against Greene. He handled
the testimony in an admirable manner,
but the jury did not agree with his
hypothesis. Judge Earle had written
most OF his charge. He was very clear
as to the law relating to murder and
testimony. He WAS absolutely impair.
tial in his suggestions. The jury re,
ceived the record about 1890. 1t is
supposed that they made q hitch on
Pages g as to recommendation tc
mercy.
The verdict OF the Jury agrees with
the outside verdict. There has beer
no doubt in the minds OF the public at
to the guilt OF Greene and Mrs. Carson
Some seemed to think that Page may
not have been with Greene when he
committed the murder, but the ma
jority think that he il guilty. Taking
