STOP THE LEAK.

Don't Buy Meat When You Can Just ~
Well Raise It'Yourseif. Il 81
The farmers in the south have made
a step in the right direction in deter
mining to raise hogs on their farms,
thereby securing their own meat at
home and stopping a drain on their
pockets This was a serious leak, and
although not fully stopped, has been
materially checked. The results at
tending this change of policy have
been so satisfactory that it should
stimulate every farmer in the south
to adopt it. With climate and soil
favorable to the culture of large va
riety of crops, by diversifyying his ag-
ricultural pursuits the southern farmer
Is enabled to raise his pork at a very
small cost.
As an indication of the beneficial re-
suits flowing out of this change Of
policy, and an incentive to its general
adoption we cite one or two instances;
although we could give several pages
of them, these will suffice to point the
moral. In the vicinity of Selma, Ala,
the merchants formerly purchased
every year from 300 to $50 carloads Of
western meat at cost of from to IA
cents per pound, aggregating S70o, 000
Now, the change of policy on the part
of farmers has reduced the purchase
of meat to 200 carloads, which at the
present low price of meat, only foots
up S170,000. This is saving of $780,
600, and an immense reduction of ex-
penses
At Admission, Ala, the purchases OF
western meat have been reduced fully
| two-thirds In North Carolina, South
| Carolina, Georgia and other states, the
purchase of western meat has been
largely decreased.
The complete adoption of this line
of practice by the farmers of the south
viii stop the great drain upon them
and relieve cotton of one of it's bur-
dens; and there is just as little reason
and logic in our reliance on the west
for beef or mutton.
These leaks have wasted away oul
substance too long. Let us stop then
effectually.-Dixie Farmer.

The Jury Decides on Its Verdict on
the second Ballot

Ocala. Fla. April 4.-The>defense IN the
Sam jenkins murder case rested yester-
day afternoon. The addresses OF the cOun-
sci lasted until II O'Clock last night. Neal
n. Alfred. in the absence Of Sydney l..
Garter. the states attorney. who went
home sick. made the opening speech for
the state. He was followed by r. B. Bull
lock and Judge II. D. D. Twiggs OF Au-
gusta. Ca, who made a most eloquent
argument. Hon. 3. II. Palmer Of Lake
City closed for the state.
Judge Hooker then charged the jury,
who rested until this morning. and on
the second ballot brought in a verdict
OF not guilty. The court house was
crowded. George II. Cone. who a little
over six years ago, was marshal Of Ocala
and deemed a good officer, was shot by
jenkins in a duel. Jenkins escaped, ana
was never in Ocala again until brought
from Savannah several months ago.
Beauregard Jenkins Of Augusta stood
by his brother through thick and thin,
never leaving him.
Capt. Loveut, a travelling man for the
G. b. Rogers Company Of Jacksonville.
a half-brother of the accused, has been
with Sam Jenkins all through the trial.
and wept for joy when the verdict was
announced. Opinion is that the verdict ac-
cords with the evidence. The Messrs.
jenkins left this morning for their homes
in Georgia.

COOPER TO REFUND THE CASH
HE SAYS, HOWEVER, THAT HIS
SHORTAGE Is ONLY $500.

The County Commissioners knew OF
the Fact Before He Went to Costa
Rica and His Bond Made IL I'm
His Departure Not "A Flight and
His Return Voluntary.
Atlanta. Ca. April 4-Ex-Clerk John
Tyler Cooper of the board OF county COM
missioners. who is alleged 20 have misap-
propriated funds in his office amounting 10
several thousand dollars and leaving
shortage behind him there when he was
defeated for reelection three months ago,
returned TO the city from Costa Rlca this
afternoon. He spent last night in Mont
gomery and would have remained there
longer but for the sensational reports put
in circulation here about his affairs with
the board Of county commissioners.
Col Cooper admits that he is behind with
the county about $3.50, but the commits
sioners. he said, knew that he had used
some OF the county funds but made no
protest as he had given a heavy bond and
the county was in no danger of a heavy
loss. He was beaten for reelection with
out any warning. he says. and on that ac-
count was unable to get his affairs in
shape. He had had heavy expenses just
at that time. but Immediately placed his
property in the hands OF the real estate
firm OF which Commissioner Adair is a
member the member who has caused the
exposure, to be sold and his shortage made
good.
Col Cooper says that all the commission
ers and many others knew Of his departure
for Costa Rica. as he made no secret of II,
and that he came back freely and without
fear. He says he will be able TO clear
much of the tangle which has caused the
sensational charges against his honesty.
The board of county commissioners has
cited the county treasurer to appear be-
fore them next Tuesday and make
showing, ii being the opening of the board
that the treasurer is the responsible party.
Under the law, ii appears that it was his
duty to collect the liquor and theatrical
tax, and if he allowed Clerk Cooper TO do
II that did not relieve him Of the respon-
siblity.
Treasurer Payne, however. denies that
this collection was part of his duty and
has employed attorneys to resist the ac-
ton Of the board in saddling the respon-
lsibility upon him. The greatest loss to the
in the collection of the taxes referred to.
1t is not as yet charged that Clerk Coop
er secured all this money and put il in his
own pocket, though the showing made by
the treasurer at the meeting next Tues
day may throw new light upon the case.
Col. Cooper stands ready he says, to
make good any shortage of his at once,
as il was never his intention to appro-
pirate the county's funds to his own use.
1t is believed that the matter will be set
tied.

people of this county were much disap-
pointed.
The friends Of ex-Gov. Boynton and Col.
Mills, candidates for the legislature, call
ed upon them and asked them to address
those who had come here to hear the
Smith-Crisp debate. Both candidates
agreed, and an audience of fully 800 men
listened to a joint debate between Judge
Boynton and Col Mills. at the court house.
Col. Mills opened in a three-quarters of
limited coinage of silver platform and
advocated Mr.. Crisp for United States
Senator.
Col, Mills INDUCED in some lively per-
sonalites.
Judge Boynton. in replying, stated that
II was the first time in his history when
II became necessary to defend himself
and his past record, and that he was in
favor of the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of Is to l. If the dollar
was of equal debt-paying power
The debate was listened to with much
interest, and both speakers were FREQUENT
ly applauded. The audience left feeling
satlsned with the days proceedings.

EDGEFIELD,s ISOLATION.
The People of the Town Indignant
at the s. c. and G. Road.


Augusta, Ca, April 4.-The people of
Edgefield are not only indignant at being
left without railroad facilities without a
moments warning, but they are appre-
hensive of real inconvenience and pos
sible want
A special from there to-day declares
there is not fifty pounds of meat in the
town, and meat famine is imminent. the
supply of groceries is also low All the
freight for the town is on a side track
at Aiken. The people of the town will
have to charter an engine from some other
line to haul these side-tracked cars over
across the country in wagons.
The action of the South Carolina and
Georgia railroad in giving up the lease
on the Gap" railroad without notice and
leaving II without equipment is charged
by some to be an effort on the part of the
former road TO force the latter to a sale
under circumstances calculated to depre-
cate It's value in order to buy it in cheap.
