WILL PLANT MUCH WHEAT.
FARMERS OF TERRELL WILL SOW
INCREASED ACREAGE.
A Premium For the Best Yield on
Eve Acres or Less Suggested
by a Planter.

interest in wheat raising is gradually
growing among the farmers OF Terrell
county, and the acreage devoted to wheat
culture will be considerably increased, II
not doubled, this fall.
Preparation of land for the next wheat
crop has been begun, and there is a
greater demand for seed wheat than was
ever before known in the county. The
farmers who grew wheat the past year
will increase their acreage, and many
who have not heretofore planted wheat
have expressed an intention and are
max ink arrangements to SOW it this fall.
1T has been suggested by gentleman
who is interested in every movement
that is beneficial to the farming class,
and who is himself farmer, that the
farmers of the county who plant wheat
this fall enter into an agreement to offer
as a prize one bushel of wheat each for
the largest yield per acre on five acres or
less-the acreage not to be confined to
five acres, but the test to be made on
that number of acres or less.
This suggestion is on the right line,
and if acted upon will stimulate the
farmers toward raising their own sup
plies and becoming self-sustainlng and
independent
The next monthly meeting of the farm
ers will be held at the court house on
Friday, November 3rd, when this ques-
ton of wheat premium will doubtless
be brought before them for cOnsidera-
ton by the gentleman who Las suggest

WANTED THEIR GUNS.
Judge Sheffield Ordered Sheriff to
Search Court Spectators.

BLAKELY, Oct. 8.-Early superior
court has been in session this week and
will be most of next. Special interest
has centered upon the trial of the
"whitecappers," who had been bound
over to this court. The grand jury res
turned bills against Thos. Reddlck, An.
drew Sinner, G. V. Sheffield and Robert
Wilson, all white men except the last,
who is white boy about IL years old.
Wilson had turned states evidence, hav-
ing fully disclosed the crimes against
the accused on their preliminary trial
before Judge Powell in the county court.
Yesterday all the above named pleaded
guilty in the presence of perhaps the
largest crowd that ever gathered In this
court house. The talk of Judge IL. G..
Sheffield was indeed forceful and i'm
pressiYe. The prisoners stood estore
the judge accompanied by their wives
and mothers, scene calculated to ex>
cite pity, but in cold, forceful language
the judge pointed out to them the mag
nituds of their crime. They had laid
down and were attempting to enforce
rule in Cuba district of this county that
no negro should work in it, which left
farmers, mill men and turpentine opera
tors without labor. The judge placed
upon Reddick a sentence of three years
in the chaingang, or fine of $500; on
Sinner two years or 5000; on Sheffield
two years or $3.50; on Wilson fine Of So.
The Judge congratulated the Wilson boy
for having turned mis- back on the evil
into which he had been led by older
heads. The prisoners, except Wilson,
will not likely raise the money to pay the
fines.
A very amusing incident occurred at
the opening of this case. Judge Shelf
field announced from the bench that 1T
had reached his ears that certain persons
had come into court provided with
Weapons for the purpose of rescuing the
defendants. He SAID that he proposed to
have the officers make search through
the audience for weapons, and that 1t
was his intention to have every man
searched, but that he would first give
any one present who desired to do so an
opportunity to retire down stairs. One
by one the audience began to dwindle
away. The judge ordered the sheriff to
close the door in one minute. In the
time given about forty gentlemen found
occasion to 90 out the door, much to
the amusement of those present who did
not have shoir guns. When the time
was up and all those who desired to do
so had retired, Judge Sheffield remark
ed /"NOw, l suppose, the pistols have
Comet we can get to work" There was
no further disorder and no attempt to
rescue the prisoners.
