Sugar Beet Notes.
Thinning the Bects

The time for thinning beets has ar
rived in this secti of the country.
They require great care as the young
plants are very tender.
The plants should not have over four
leaves; hoe should first be used and
the weeds should be removed within two
inches on each side of the rows and be.
ing careful not to disturb the plants
great many use the cultiyator with
goose foot knife attached, but IL is not
advisable as it would loosen the earth
around the beets and destroy them en-
tirely.
The greatest mistake made in thin
ming them is that they are thinned TOO
far apart.
have experimental different ways
ana fnd thar by thinning them so that
the distance between each plant is about
four inches IL is better TO thin out a
few so that when theneXt hoeing is done
they can be thiuned TO greater distance;
by So doing the stronger plants may b.
detained and better staud may be seen
A great many growers are complain
ing that last year the bets werc not
given proper attention Why: Because
the proper attention in thinning was
omitted ana therefore the harvest Wa
small, and some growers ask why you
advise going through The process of
thinning twice instead # once.
The reIsCn Is, that when the plants
are small 1t would he difficult task to
judge exactly which plants would grow
the best and which would not, and
therefore If they were th,Haed the re-
CURED distance we should fuu that a
great many would die ara the remain
ing ones would be toJ great distance
apart, which would prove heavy loss

negro named Wiley Lucas was shot ana
perhaps fatally wounded here yesterday
by A. C. McWiliams, who was at one time
marshal of this place.
AS nearly as can be learned, the negro,
without any provocation, ran against Nc
Williams and showed him from the side
walk, which indignty the latter resented
by striking his assailant with cane. The
negro then applied the vilest epithets to
McWilliams, also striking and kicking
him, whereupon McWilliams drew pisto.
and fired. The ball entered the negro S
left breast and passed entirely through
him. He left on train an hour after

A BOY DROWNED IN A SEWER.
Mysterious Disappearance Explained
when Body Was Found.

Rome, Ga. June 17-This morning about
10 o'clock the mysterious disappearance
of Hall Cheney the S-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Alvin D. Cheney, was cleared
up. The alarm about his disappearance
did not become very great until about
midnight last night, but even then it was
thought he would turn up this morning.
The boy was sent by his mother to a
store to get package yesterday afternoon
about o'clock. AS he left the store a
tremendous downpour of rain fell The
last trace of him alive that could be found
was that he was wading at the mouth of
a sewer at the corner of Broad street and
Fourth avenue. He played in the water
wading for some time. His umbrella was
found later floating In the open ditch near
the mouth of the sewer. This led to the
superstition that he had fallen In the
mouth of the sewer and was drowned
This morning his body was found in
twenty feet of water in the river where
the sewer emptied. 1t is presumed that he
was washed into the sewer and drowned
but as the opening is small at Fourth ave-
nue., 1t seems impossible that his body
could have gotten through it.
The mystery was not cleared up by the
coroner's jury. and 1t does not seem likely
that 1t will be. The boys body is not
bruised. but no one saw him playing on
the river bank where he might have fallen
in without having been washed through
the tortuous sewer.

of everybody In their afliction. The
strange drowning is the talk of the town

port was very comprehensive and salts
factory.
When Chairman Evans had finished
reading the report TO the trustees that
body broke into applause, thus conierfihg
a high compliment for such has hereto

n SD aking Of the report said that II was
beyond an doubt The ablest reJort ever
made by a board of visitors to the bodIu

The report commends each department,
and says that ihe methods used are IN
accordance with the best practice or the
profession The department OF science is
especially commended and II is recon-
mended that chemical laboratory WORK
he extended. An observatory on top OF
Moore building is recommended. A tutor
in he department of biology Is recon-
mended. The conYersat onal method IN
romance lar guages is app owed, and 1t Is
suggested that more tin e be given TO the
teaching Of Spanish and Italian.
The work in the English department.
for the past year is acterized as g o.
An improvems mt in he Jaw school is not

soon as PRACTICAL c. 1t is recommended
that the school of agriculture be given

A special plea is made for the establish
ment of peda gogy, and 1t is pointed out
that one-third of the present graduating
class expect to become teachers. The con-
dition of the literary society is found not
to be SO good as is wished, and 1t is rec
commended that they be placed in charge
of the professor of rhetoric and English
and his assistant as director or critic. The
visiting board asks that new benches and
furniture be placed in number Of reel
tation rooms.
The conduct OF the students at the
dormtory on the campus during the year
is reported having been most exem-
plary The students boarding house is
commended. The board thinks an expert
librarian should be elected. also that next
year a large centennial fund should be
raised for the university. The advertising
of the facilities of the university is heart
lily approved, and plans for the closer as
ISOLATION of the university with all the
schools OF the state is suggested.
The board declares the moral and relg-
tous tone of the students to be excellent.
and a great improvement over recent
years. The orderly conduct at chapel
exercises is noted. 1t is suggested that
Monday be made a holiday instead of
