a Tnrsa's Horrible Deeds.

Parties from Leon county, Fla, tell
of the horrible deeds of Carrie Simpson,
on the plantation Of Lucius B. Rainey.
Carrie was nursing baby boy for her
aunt Recently she sawed off his ears
with dull knife and otherwise mutt
lated portions Of the body. When
questioned about the matter she said
that dogs mad found the child asleep
and chewed off its ears and one dog was
killed for mut;Iation Of the child. Only
a few days since she deliberately Gov
cred the child with ashes, left in the
fire PLACE, which were mixed with live
Goals, and took seat on the doorstep,
where she could hear the screams of the
roasting child, and when they ceased
she ran screaming to nearby field and
told the mother tfet the neighbor' S
boy had burned the child to death.
No legal steps have been taken to have
the nurse punished

BEATEN BY NEGROES.
FIVE White Ladies Assaulted in the
Streets of Little Rock.

Five brutal assaults by Negro man
on white women have occurred in Lit
tie Rock in a hours. 1t is generally
believed that all the crimes were COM
mitted by the same negro, but three
suspects have been arrested, and if
the right man can be positively iden-
titled he may receive summary punish
ment. The victims Of the assaults are
all highly respected white women Of
Little Rock.
All the assaults occurred in the su-
burbs. The first was that Of Mrs.
Aiken, which occurred Tuesday after
noon. AS Mrs. Aiken was passing by
Twenty-irst and High streets the Ne
gro seized her and dragged her to the
woods. She re5i&ted and cried for help.
A passerby frightened the Negro away
after he had severely beaten his victim.
Officers at once began a search for the
assailant, but failed to ind him.
At 9 o'clock Wednesday, morning, a
few blocks from the scene Of the first
crime, Mrs. Young was assaulted in al
most the same manner. The Negro
knocked her down with such force that
rib was broken, causing internal in
juries of serious nature. He choked
and beat her about the head and on the
side, inficting very serious injuries. The
Negro finally seized her purse and dis
appeared in the woods. Mrs. Young,
who is frail woman, is in a precarious
condition from her wounds and the
shock. Her clothing was toru almost
entirely off in the struggle.
An hour later Mrs. Kennedy was
attacked at her home near West End
park. She was knocked down, beaten
and choked. Her child ran for assis-
tance, and the Negro fled. Mrs. Ken
nedy's injuries are very painful.
About II o'clock Emma Longcoy,
the IS year old daughter of grocer,
was attacked beaten by a Negro half a
dozen block from West End park. She
escaped from her assailant. City and
county officers, together with a large
number of citizens were by this time
securing the vicinity for the Negro:
The greatest excitement prevails, and
the anger of the citizens in the neigh
borhood was thoroughly aroused.
The fifth assault occurred early
Wednesday morning on well known
young woman, at Twentieth and Cross
streets. She was likewise knocked
down and badly beaten. Her face was
swollen and discolored from the effect
of the blows.
These outrages were brought to the
attention of Gov. Jones, who offered a
reward of 500 each for the arrest and
conviction of the guilty parties. Judg-
ing from the temper Of public scnti-
ment, the officers will fnd it difficult to
protect their prisoner should the right
man be CAPTURED.

TWO THOUSAND DEAD.
Each Report from Porto Rico Adds to
Magnitude of Disaster.

The appalling conditions existing in
Puerto Rico were made more fully
known to the war department Wednes-
day by Gen. Davis in dispatch which
says the deaths outright in the island
will reach 1000 while many are dying
daily from injuries and privations, Gen,
Davis adds:
Dry split peas very acceptable. Can
ned peas involve too much transporta-
tion in proportion to nutriment, but
can be used near seacoast, although
there is much destitution in the interior
and deaths are occurring from lack Of
food. Will not be possible to reach
those points with packs before next
week, for in many cases the roads are
so destroyed that only men on foot can
get to and from these districts. The
stores coming on the Mcpherson will
be ia time for I am supplying most
pressing needs at all accessible points
with stores now on hand. So great is
destruction Of reads that there is no
communication yet with one-third of
the island. The commanding officer at
each of the twelve posts is inspector of
relief for his district and he has detain-
ed in every municipality agents collect
ing data and relieving most pressing
needs. have furished each inspector
with similar funds and given authority
to issue food from army supplies. One
soldier died Of injuries; other injured
will recover. A great many wagons
overturned and broken but all being re-
paired. Many thousands Of private
cattle and horses were drowned. Larger
part of deaths of natives from drown
ing"
By direction Of the navy department
the auxiliary cruiser Panther now at the
League island navy yard has been tenn
porarily transferred to the war depart
ment for use in the transportation to
Puerto Rico of relief supplies collected
in the cities of Baltimore and Philadel
phia. The vessel will be located at
Philadelphia and will proceed direct to
San Juan.

Fort Lower Shocked.

Fort Lower was shocked Thursday by
what is said to have been the suicide OF
Mrs. S. W. Reep, who, it seems shot
herself while in bed at an early hour
Thursday morning with parlor rife.
The ball entering at the left temple
ranging upwards doing its deadly work
in few minutes. 1t is rumored that
there may have been foul play, as no
one can account for such al act unless
it was prompted by Jealousy: Mrs.
Reep was highly respected Christian
lady about 25 years old and her death
is shock to the community in which
she lived. At this hour we are unable
to give the facts in the case as we have
not heard the verdict of the jury. The
deceased leaves a husband and two
children.

good grains and the foundation is laid
for increasing disaster the following
year. Smut does not therefore develop
after the crop is planted and growing,
must be in life and attached to the.
seed wheat before it is put in the
ground. Ordinarily solution Of blue
stone, at the rate Of one pound to
enough water for immersing 6ve bush

twelve or fourteen hours, will eradicate
the trouble. Do not allow smut to en-

INCREASING INTEREST IN AGRIcUL-
TURE.
The widespread interest which the
people of our cities are taking in the
betterment of our agricultural condi
tions is indeed gratifying. There has
never been time in the history of our
country when so universal an interest
in agriculture was manifested by people
in all avocations of life as at present.
The world is awakening to the necessi-
ty of the farmer and the Importance Of
aiding him to so shape his course in fu.
ture that his business may be one of
deserving prosperity and high useful
ness. Upon the success OF the farmer
must unquestionably depend the con-
tinued prosperity Of all avocations
existing in a truly agricultural coun-
try.
All of these highly desirable ends and
more may be accomplished through the
adoption Of such farming methods as
will enable US to become more prosper
Gus as the years roll by. Make your
farms selfsustainiDg When you have
provided an acreage Of diversified crops
sufficient to meet the demands of home
supply it would then be proper to con-
slider the extent of the money crop.
Rotate your crops, plough deep, harrow
and roll your lands. Increase the fer
tility Of the soil, supply needed humus
and improve its mechanical condition
by growing leguminous plants every
where they can be sown or cultivated.
Institute a systematic method Of in
creasing the compost heap and cut down
the heavy bills for fertilizers. The
lugume and compost heap should be
the farmers bank; with their assistance
he can at once travel the inviting road
to independence and wealth. Without
them he must continue to look for help
only from costly and oppressive sources.
Let the farmer work out his indepen-
dence without fear or trembling, gradu-
ally abolishing the credit system from
the future conduct of his business.

McSWeeney Stood Firm.

Some months ago one Pons of Geor
gia married young lacy of Allendale
in this State. 1t was afterwards dis
covered that he had wife and several
children living N Savannah, Georgia.
He was prosecuted for bigamy, found
guilty and sentenced to pay fine of
$500 and be imprisoned in the jail at
Bamberg for six months. The fine has
been paid and Gov. McSWeeney has
been petitioned to commute the SEN
tence by relieving him from imprison-
ment. The judge who tried the case
and the solicitor whu prosecuted joined
in the petition for commutation but
Gov. McSweeney stood firm and refus-
ed to interfere. He was exactly right.
When his time is out the friends Of the
Allendale young woman should take
charge of Pons. His Georgia wife IS
suing for a divorce.

MORE SOLDIERS WANTED
z Call Made for Ten Additional Infan-
try Regiments.

An order has been issued directing
that ten additional regiments Of infan-
try volunteers be organized for service
in the Philippines. The regiments
will be numbered from 3S to Al and
will be organized at the following
places in order named:
Folt Smelling, MINI.
Fort Crook, Neb.
Fort Riley, Kas.
Camp Meade, Pa.
Fort Niagra, \. Y.
Fort Leavenworth, kas.
Jefferson Barracks. No.
South birmingham, Mass.
Camp Meade, Pa.
1tappears that the ten new regiments
are to be mainly recruited in New Eng
land and the middle aud central westen
States. Kansas and Pennsylvania have
apparently been selected as the best
field for recruits 1t is said that no
special effort is to be made to secure
recruits IN the southern States.
This is due, it is said, to the expert
ence of the officers who operated in
this quarter for recruits for the ten vol
unteer regiments just now being organ
lied. The only places where difficulty
was experienced in securing men was
in Georgia and Alabama, the Carolinas
and the Gulf States and the two no, tn
western Pacific States.
Tie new regiments will add $4,000
men to the enlisted strength of the army
and increases the total strength Of the
army to 95, ,045 men, The total number
Of volunteers called into service is 80,
IL men, being only 1903 men short
Of the total authorized volunteer estab-
lishment Of 35, 600. 1t is stated at the
department that the number of volun-
teers already called into service is re-
garded as amply sufficient to meet all
possible needs Of the army, and that
there is possibility that the remaining
+ S93 volunteers will be called for.

sELF-sUSTAINING METHODS.
PLANTING THE WHEAT CROP.

Plant your wheat not later than the
last week in October, preparing your
land by deep ploughing, narrowing aud
rolling. No matter how extensive or
how restricted your acreage in wheat
may be the coming fall do not neglect
to treat the seed as 3 safeguard against
smut. l have read hundreds of letters
this spring from farmers stating that
they could not raise wheat because of
the rayages of smut. The Romans were
afflicted with the same trouble over two
thousand years ago Scientific investi-
cations within re:ent years have dis.
covered the life history Of the smut
germ, and by continued experiments,
have found remedies which, if properly
applied, will in every instance free the
grain of future disaster from that
source. Smut is nothing more than
parasitic plant adhering to the grain,
terminating with the grain and growing
along with the stalk. It's preseRce is
only discovered By microscopic exami-
nation. As the infected head Of wheat
develops the nutriment intended for
the grain is absorbed by the smut germ
and mass Of loose brown spores is
formed. These spores, blown about the
field by winds, adhere to thousands OF
