THE WILL DISAPPEARED.
he Nixon Girls Want Pay for Prop
erty That Has Also Gone.

The case of Annie NJ Nixon and her
sister, Winnie M. Nixon, against Public
Administrator Miller, administrator of
the estate of Mary Hadwick, occupied
Judge Johnson's court nearly all day
yesterday, and the end is not yet.
The case is an interesting one. The
testimony showed that Mary Hadwick
on January II, 1896, called on l.. 7.
Hatfield to make will for her, diSpos-
ing of her real estate and other prop
erty in this city, amounting to about
$25, 600 He drew up a bill of sale, will
and deed to all the property, conveying
it from her to her two nieces, the Nixon
sisters, and making them executives
without bonds, and the papers were de-
| livered to Annie Nixon. who put them
| in box.
Winnie Nixon shortly afterward re-
| turned to her home in Washington, d.
| c.. and While there her aunt died, and
| the Public Administrator took posses
! sion Of the estate and began
to administer on it, When the
personal property was sold, the
deed and bill of sale were found in
a box among other papers, but the Will
has never been found, although it has
been searched for thoroughly.
| Shortly before the death Of Mrs Had
wick, who sent for her brother, Fran
| els McMann, who came from Canada at
| her summons, but did not arrive until
after her death, when he lived for
short time in her house. He left few
days after for Canada, and Miller's at
torney claims that he took with him
dresses, curtains, lambrequins and
| everything else he could. While they
do not accuse him of taking the will
they say that its disappearance is pecu-
liar, and they cannot account for it
The suit now pending is brought by the
Nixon girls, who claim the property by
virtue of the bill of sale and deed, anG
want the Public Administrator to pay
for the property said to have been car
ried off by McMann.

a fisherman. His boat might be among
40 or so other boats, all coming i'll to-

mistake He always knew his own boat.
He liked CLANS, and when he came
aboard his owner would knock a couple
of CLAIMS together-that would break
one-and put the broken clam down for
the crow to eat, and then he would go
on rowing, and that's the way they al
ways came ashore, the fisherman pulling

HER IDEA OF LAW.

Points on His Business.

Points on His business.
An Indictment against Frank S. Noon
of New York for larceny was dismissed
by Judge Cowing recently, who said,
in dismissing the case, that he should
never have been indicted. Noon and
Frank A. Pratt were partners in the
chicken raising business on Staten Is
land. On Jan. 80, 1896, Mrs. Pratt
gave Noon 5000 to deposit in bank.
Pratt being indebted to the firm for that
amount.
Noon deposited 1925 of the amount
and spent the remainder as member
of the firm. Mrs. Pratt alleged that this
was not right. The grand jury indicted
and when Judge Cowing heard Mrs
Pratt's testimony he dismissed the case
Mrs. Pratt is very businesslike wom-
an and before leaving the stand took
exceptions to the judges remarks
Judge COwing said:
The facts do not constitute larceny,
and the defendant should never have
been indicted. ="
"Oh, yes they do" said Mrs. Pratt,
while Judge Cowing looked at her good
naturally.

LEACHING OF FERTILIZERS.
4 LETTER FROM THE STATE CHEM.
IST ON THE SUBJECT.
Mr.. Geo. o. Hill Receives a Letter
From the Agricultural Depart
ment That Is of Inter-
est to Farmers.

The farmers of Terrell county are al
most universally of the opinion that they
were greatly damaged during the recent
rains by the teaching of fertilizers they
had placed in the ground preparatory
to planting. Many of them are of tho
opinion that the guauo lost all, or near
ly all, of its properties, and that their
investment in fertilizers will prove an
almost total loss.
But from letter from State Chemist
Payne 1t would seem that the loss from
teaching is not so great after all. The
letter from Dr.. Payne, which was writ
ten to Mr. g. o. Hill in answer to an in.
quiry on the subject, is very reassuring.
MI Hill has furnished THE News with
copy OF the letter, and it is reproduced
below for the benefit of the farmers:
ATLANTA, GA, April 2, 1897. Mr..
q. o. Hill, Bronwood, GA. Dear Sir:
Yours Of April 1st just at hand. An
answer to your inquiry in regard to the
teaching of fertilizers will depend large
Iy upon the conditions existing. If the
soil IS very sandy, porous and level the
soluble portion of the fertilizer will be
carried deeper in the ground and if there
is extensive sub-drainage IF coarse
there will be loss. In the case of less
porous soils the loss will be carried in q
lesser degree. On hill sides with porous
soils the loss under certain conditions
can be quite considerable. In Florida,
Where the orange trees are often planted
upon what seems to be chiefly sand beds
OF u or - feet in depth, We have advis-
ed the use of such soluble fertilizers as
potash, ETC., in three doses, rather than
all at one time, and in this way better re-
suits have been secured from the same
amount used than when its all put on at
one application.
soluble phosphates, when placed upon
'he soil promptly, revert and are not
readily leached out; neither is cotton
SEED meal leached out of the soil unless
II Is thoroughly decOmposed and it's pro-
uuctS become soluble, which is not the
case at this season of the year. SO in
your particular case the first thing of all
would be to consider what the ingredi-
g Gu are which compose your fertilizer.
Tue uSual run of such goods are largely
composed of acid phosphate, cotton seed
t Ieal and kainit, and its only the last one
o INA. Is likely to give you any trouble
ABOUT aCo1T teaching, and top dressing of
soluble potash salt would easily rectity
any small loss that could occur in any
socn fertilizer. Very truly yours,
GEORGE +. PAYNE.

CAPTAIN HOWELL RETIRES.
Important Changes Made in the. Constitu.
tiOn's Management.

Captain Evan P. Howell has sold his
one-fourth intererest in the Atlanta Con-
stitution and retired as president of the
company and editor-in-chief. Col. r. A,
Hemphill, the veteran business manager
of the Constitution since its organiza-
ton, was elected president of the com
pany and Mr.. Clark Howell was elected
editor. The retirement of Captain How
ell from active relations with the Con-
Stitution is perhap not matter of any
special significance, especially as his
son, who has practically been editor of
the paper ever since Henry Grady died,
has been elected editor by the board Of
directors. Still we are sorry to see Cap
tain Howell retire. He is a man of
force, and has done as much as any man.
living or dead, to make the Constitution
the great paper that it is today. He has
earned a rest, however, and the sale of
his interest in the Constitution will en-
able him to take it.
