ITEMS FROM VALDOSTA.
The VIII of Wiley Clements Set
Aside in Berrien Superior Court.


Valdosta, Ca, Oct. 16.-The October term
of Berrien Superior Court adjourned Fri
day evening, after a very interesting ses-
sion. The first case taken up during the
week was one of the most interesting that
has been tried in that county. 1t was the
Wiley Clements win case, and it has at
tracted attention in that section for the
past several years.
In March of 1889 Wiley Clements, a ricn
old bachelor, living in the northern part
of the county, made a will, giving all of
his property, including several thousand
acres of valuable land to one of his
nephews, Thomas B. Crowder. of North
Carolina to the exclusion OF his broth
ers and sisters who, but for the will, have
heired the property. The brothers of the
deceased filed their objections to the win
alleging three reasons why it should be
set aside: That the testater was an inbe-
Gle from age and dissipation at the time
of making the Will; that he was intoXicat-
ed to an extent that would deprive him
of reason when making 1t, and that the
witnesses to the win did not sign il m
the presence of the testator.
Two days were devoted to the trial. and
verdict was brought in setting aside the
will The North Carolina nephew. Mr.
| Crowder, was represented by Judge d. II.
Pope of Albany, John Morrow of Triton
and H. 3. Peoples of Nashville. The plain
| tiffs were represented by Judge w. II.
| Griffin of this city, Messrs. Fullwood
| Murray and Boauight of Triton. The at
| torueys on both sides fought the case with
| splendid legal ability. and the contest was
one OF the tiercest legal battles ever
| fought in the county.
| The case of W. r. Futch the eX-county
! treasurer, who was under trial for en-
| bezzlement of $4,000 of the county's funds
was convicted and sentenced to a four
! years term in the penitentiary. Futeh
| was at one time one OF the most proml-
nent men in the county and numbered his
| friends by the score. Many of his friends
! believed that the shortage in his accounts
was due to bad bookkeeping When the
| charges were first brought out they caus-
| ed a genuine sensation.
Work upon Berrien's new court house is
! progressing rapidly, and the building will
be ready at the next term Of court 1t is

More Sheep.

Has it ever occurred to you that farm
ers of the United States stand more in
need of sheep than of any other kind of
live stock? asks the Homestead. Whether
It has or not does not matter so much,
but it is so, nevertheless. With popu-
lation of probably over seventy millions of
people, we have only one sheep to every
two inhabitants. The average fleece in
this country weighs less than five pounds,
and this produces when secured scarcely
two pounds of wool in a condition to be
spun or woven into cloth. If our people
were compelled to depend on our own
sheep for our clothing we would be
badly clothed people
1t probably requires as much as one
third of the whole number of sheep in
this country to supply the demand for
mutton, so the prospect for over-produc-
ton does not seem to be very good. If we
had one hundred millions of sheep in this
country instead of less than half that
number, the products from them in the
shape of wool and mutton could be used
to good advantage. There is no good rea-
son why we should import either wool or
mutton except that our sheep breeders
are not all alive to the Importance of the
industry and are not making the proper
effort TO increase the growth of the BUSH
ness.
1t is possible for the up-to-date sheep
owner to produce from seven to ten
pounds of wool per head. 1t sells from
nineteen to twenty cents per pound in the
dirt The sheep that produce this fleece
may raise each a lamb which will sell
anywhere from $3.50 to 81 before 1t grows
a fleece. There Is not farm where this
paper cireulates that is above water that
would not be better by having a few sheep
on it, There is plenty of room for good
sheep and plenty of room for beginners
to engage in the business.

Rye Is Valuable.

Rye is the true winter glazing crop Of
the South, says the Southern Cultivator.
1t is the hardest of all grains, and. other
conditions equal, will make more growth
in very cold weather than any other win
ter crop. Make the land very rich. pre-
pare it well and sow early, and rye will
furnish good grazing all winter except
during the coolest spells. 1t ought TO be
made the chief reliance for fall. winter
and spring grazing. Because il will grow
on poor land do not be tempted to sow
il on poor land, if grazing is the object
contemplated 1t is well to SOW it on poor
land for the benefit of the land; it and
crimson clover are the two best crops
for covering land in winter, but rye has
decided advantage over the. clover because
it will grow on poorer land than clover.
For grazing or soiling purposes sow rye
on the richest patches you have; nothing
will pay you better Sow it in all your
bare cotton fields to protect them from
washing and teaching during winter. Sow
az once broadcast and cover with a low
harrow free from projecting points, which
would tear off the limbs of cotton One
bushel of seed per acre or less will an
swer in this case; for grazing lots not less
than two bushels per acre should be sowu
and the grain plowed under two or three
inches. AS the leaf is the principal OBJ
ject in plants for grazing purposes, tho
manure applied to grazing lots should be
rich in nitrogen this substance being one
great leaf-deveoper. Cotton seed meal Is
good for this purpose, and an occasional
top dressing with nitrate of soda will be
found beneficial if growth is too slow or
color of leaves too light. Good seed is a
matter of Importance; home raised is best;
Western-grown seed has proved unsatis-
factory. Every farmer should raise all
the rye seed he needs, making sowings

The Government Forbids the Banns.
A troop of cavalry has been sent to
see that the Indian girls like the one
whose picture is printed here go to
school. They are not like the young
sters whom you and l know who get
their hair twisted into two braids in
the morning and are started off to the
nearest school for young ladies with
bag loaded with books and lucheon.
These youngsters whose going to
school is accompanied by the tramp of
horses hoofs and the clank of sabres,
are daughters of the Bannock Indians.
They have no great longing to drink of
the springs of knowledge themselves,
and, in addition to that, the young
Bannock braves do not encourage
them. The braves claim every girl in
the tribe as the wife of somebody, no
matter II she is not more than nine
years old. The girl in the picture is
about sixteen years old.

The Indian agent at Fort Hail. Ida
no, who has charge of the BannOcks,
sent the native police to gather in
the pupils for the school which the
government maintains there for In
dian children. The Indians do not
take kindly to education. Nine out
of every ten Indian fathers would
rather see their sons and daughters
work than study books. Working has
long been placed under the ban by
these willy Indians.
1t is the customary thing for an In
dian agent to arrest the copper skinned
youngsters of school age and bring
them to the font Of knowledge by
force and arms.
Lieutenant Irwin, who has charge of
the Bannock reservation, which CEN
tiers around Fort Hall, was much an
noyed by the habit the young Ban
nocks had of proclaiming that the
young girls were their wives. He
sent the Indian police out to bring in
the children, for the school house had
been newly whitewashed and a fresh
consignment of books had been sent by
the government The police found an
Indian girl who had attended school
the year before She was sitting at
the door of tepee in all the dignity Of
her fourteen years.

The police Immediately placed her
under arrest in accordance with the
amiable custom with regard to school
children. That caused trouble right
away. The young Bannock who in
sisted that he was the girls husband,
h., La1 II
tribesmen, attacked the native police
and took away the girl. The police
returned for reinforcements.
The girl was recaptured and three
of the ringleaders of the rioters were
arrested and placed in school. The
girl, like Shakespeare's schoolboy
went unwillingly to her lessons.
The young Bannocks seem to have
been abetted by the older squaws in
this conspiracy to keep the girls from
several of the police were injured and
many young Barnock is going about
with a sore head.
Lieutenant Irwin found that the Fort
Hall school was in danger of being
broken up. He reported to the Com
missioner for Indian Affairs, who in
turn sent word to the War Depart
ment The result of it all was that
Troop F., of the Fourth cavalry, ar
rived at Fort Hall and began the work
of pacifying the Bannocks. That
means that the ringleaders of the riot
will be placed under arrest and that
the chillren will go to school, if need
be, between files of horsemen

the process of education is completed

After meals you should have simply a
feeling of comfort and satisfaction. You
should not feel any special indications
that digestion is going on. If you do,
you have Indigestion, which means non
digestion. This may be the beginning of
so many dangerous diseases, that it is
best to take it in hand at once and treat
it with Shaker Digestive Cordial. For
you know that indigestion makes poison,
which causes pain and sickness. And
that Shaker Digestive Cordial helps di-
gestion and cures Indigestion. Shaker
Digestive Cordial does this by providing
the digestive materials in which the sick
stomach is wanting. 1t also tones up
and strengthens the digestive organs and
makes them perfectly healthy. This is
the rationale of its method of cure, as
the doctors would say. Sold by drug
gists, price 10 cents to Sl.00 per bottle.
