BODY FOUND IN LAKE.

The dead body of negro man was
found floating in lake near Moultrie
by some boys, and while the body was
too badly decayed for Identification, it
is thought by many to be that of a
negro who attempted to assault a white
woman in that section recently. About
two weeks ago the assault was at
tempted, and a posse soon formed and
went in pursuit of the criminal. After
several hours the men returned. and
1t was given out that they had lost
sight of him. An inquest was not held
and the remains were buried by the
farmers of that section.

Winnie Kellam. a negro woman liv-
ing on the plantation of Mr.. George
Cullens. a few miles from Dublin, was
shot and killed Tuesday morning Ly
Lucy Mills, another negro woman. The
tragedy resulted from a quarrel over
cloak. Every one thought the affair
settled until Tuesday morning, when
the Kellam negro approached the Mills
woman, with her hands concealed un-
der her apron. The Kellam woman
continued TO advance against the con-
sent of the other woman. AS she en-
tered the house, Lucy Mills proceeded
to fill her body with bullets.

this matter of getting the very best
seed. Genuine imported seed Of the
very best quality will cost in the
neigh borhood of $3.50 per pound, and
cannot be retailed for much less than
that price.
The seed should be sown in CAREFUL
~ prepared seed beds, not too ricn,
the latter part of September or first
of October. Sow in drills. so as to al
low working and wedding the young
plants The seed beds should be shad-
ed with cheese cloth or pine boughs.
The bed should be moderately watered.
The land for the crop should be well
worked, absolutely smooth and free
from trash roots, etc. You cannot get
the soil in too good condition. 1t is
well to work ii into shape during late
summer. and go over it lightly after
rain has fallen, thus destroying weeds
which may spring up. This will save
much work in the crop later. For fer
tilizer well-rotted manure, especially
COW manure, is splendid. Any stand
ard garden fertilizer is good, but we
would advise that any fertilizer used
contain not less than per cent. pot
ash. The standard formula for a we'll
balanced fertilizer is 6 per cent. avail
able phosphoric acid, . per cent. pot
ash and 6 per cent. nitrogen.
The special Importance of the potash
is to counterbalauce any excess of nj
trogen which may be present either in
the soil or in the fertilizer used. The
crop is sometimes ruined by the appli
cation Of strong stimulating fertilizers,
which force an excessive growth of top
and prevent the onions from forming
bulbs. An excess of water in the soil
will produce the same results. When
improperly forced in this way the bulb
divides and becomes a multiplying
shallot. mostly top, and worthless for
market. This can be avoided by using
the right seed, a properly balanced
fertilizer and keeping the crop on dry
or well-drained land. Applications of
potash also greatly assist the keeping
qualities of the onion ana make it very
firm, sweet and well favored. 1t is not
so important to force the crop to early
maturity as ii is to produce fire,
well favored crop with good keeping
qualities. A liberal use of potash VIII
assist greatly in bringing such results.
When the young plants in the seed
bed are about the size of goose quilts
they should be transplanted Rows
two feet apart for house cultivation,

CHEAP PANAMAS.
The Government Sells the Genuine Ar
ticle Far Below Value.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The army had
an opportunity recently of realizing heav-
lily upon an installment of genuine Pan
anna hats, which We're part of large
stock purchased for the troops serving in
Cuba and in every way equal TO some
OF the high-priced hats of this variety
now sold in this country.
The hat is not adapted to general army
use and was worn only by the soldiers
stationed in Cuba when the island was
under military control. They had to be
disposed of. and some have been sold here
lately for a little moro than a dollar
each, when it is said they were worth
at least SO. Several years ago when
the army was first stationed in Havana
it was reported by the quartermaster in
charge that the men required lighter
service hat and on this recommendation
he was authorized to purchase several
thousand hats at n cost of S1.O1 each
Several hundred remained on hand when
the troops evacuated the island. About
20 were brought to Washington to be sold
to officers at cost prices. but majority
are held by persons not officers of the
army The remainder have been sent
to New York, where the quartermaster
had no difficulty in disposing of them at
the contract price. This disposes of the
army stock of choice Panamas and it
is not probable the Government Will have
another bargain-counter sale of them IN
the future.
