Mattox claims that Barber cursed and
threatened to shoot him, and that he
ran to the house. When he came out
later he claims that Barber and his
brother were laying for him, and fired
on him first, that he returned the fire
and that his second shot killed Bar
Der. George Barber, before his death,
is said to have stated that he en-

Not desiring to have any trouble the
two BARRIERS started to leave when
Mattox came out of his house and
fired at them as they ran.

GLASS PLANT FOR COLUMBIA.

Columbia State: No more interesting
work is going on anywhere about CO.
luEbia than at the site of the new
Carolina Glass Works in the south
western section of the city. The big
plant, which is to be ur-to-date and
modern in every respect, is something
entirely new in this portion of the
country and many questions are ask
ed of the workmen who are putting in
the furnaces. The construction looks
very much as if the ground was being
converted into a great honey comb. No
time is being lost in getting the plant
established. The contractors for the
mechanical construction of the plant,
Champion & Wyant, ale 20 days ahead

HOW SHOTTER CASE ORIGINATED.
Milledgeville News: Very sensa-
tional articles have been appearing
almost daily in the daily papers this
week over the alleged forcib1e deten-
ton OF Mrs. S. P. Shotter of Savan-
nah at Aliens Invalid Home and San
itarium, near this city. Mrs. Shotter
is the wife of a prominent Savannah
business man, who is now travelling
in Europe for his health. The trouble
originated through Mr.. Heard, a con-
tractor for Greene county, who has
been engaged in building the Oconee
River Mills in this city. Mr.. Heard
heard rumOr which was circula ted
by Mrs. Shotter that she was being
forcibly kept from her liberty and
family without any process of law and
against her will. Mr.. Heard sympa-
thized with the woman, and employed
Attorney Cooper of Macon to interest
himself in the behalf of Mrs. Shooter,
without ever having seen DIR. Allen or
Mrs. Shotter, and without making in
quiries into the case. Mr.. Cooper came
to the city and afterwards stated that
he talked to the lady through iron
bars. Witnesses here say this is I'M
true. as Mrs. Shooter was lying down
in the yard when Mr.. Cooper arrived.
and their conversation took place in
the yard.

prairie soils to contain .30s per cent.
| some other rich soils are reported as
| containing even more; but if the far
mer can so manage his farm as TO
keep his supply of nitrogen up to one
half that found in the richest of soils,
he will not likely have to buy it in
| commercial fertilizer. OF the nitro
gen found in the soil only small part
is available as plant food at any
! time. 1t has to go through a process
of nitrification and is changed into
nitric acid before the plants can take
it up. 1t is well that this is so be-
| cause If 1t We're all available at one
time there would be more than the
crop could use, and the excess would
be lost by teaching.
The natural sources of supply of
nitrogen are from decaying Vegeta-
ton, from small quantities of am
monia that are absorbed from the air
by rains and SHOWS, and from the
growing of leguminous crops. The
amount of nitrogen brought down by
rains and snews has been found to
vary from less than two pounds to
about twenty pounds per acre per an
mum. Fields lying near large cities
receive much more nitrogen from
rains than those at a distance. This
source is so variable that it cannot
be depended upon to any great extent,
and the farmer who desires to avoid
buying nitrogen in a commercial form
must depend upon cultivating legumi-
nous crops.
The most abundant element of the
air is nitrogen in a free state but
1t is not in condition for the plants
to take up and appropriate to their
use by direct means. Nitrogen to be
available as plant-food must be in
a combined form. 1t was discovered
IN the latter part of the nineteenth
century that certain plants had the
power of appropriating the free nitro
gen of the air to their use BY grow
ing a crop of clover and afterward
sowing the land to wheat, it was
found that the wheat crop could get
more nitrogen from the soil than it
could before the clover was grown.
1t was first thought that the clover
got the nitrogen from the air through
IT'S leaves but 1t was afterward found
that the nitrogen was taken from the
soil air by means of soil bacteria that
attach themselves to the roots of
clover and certain other plants. The
bacteria furnishes nitrogen to the
plant, and the plant in return, fur
nlshes carbon to the bacteria.
BY cultivating leguminous crops the
FARMER has a cheap and practical
means of supplying nitrogen to his
soil without buying it, This is a most
economical way of getting nitrogen
since the farmer can select a legume
such as clover or COW peas. and raise
a crop that is quite as valuable a
farm crop as can be cultivated. and
at the same time improve his soil bv
the addition of nitrogen and yege-
table humus

GROWING PEACHES UNDER PINES.

The Moultrie News gives an inter
esting account of the success with
which Mr.. Dukes of Colquitt county
has met in the experiment of growing
peach trees under the shade of pine
trees. Mr.. Dukes decided some time
ago in his own mind that the shade
of the pine would be a protection to
the peach from the cold in winter and
the heat in summer, and that the
peach trees would thrive Just as we'll
as in the open. He did not make his
experiment on a small scale, but
planted seventy-hve acres. Many
people laughed at his idea and proph-
esied failure, but Mr.. Dukes went
right ahead with his work The
Moultrie News says: eff there be
those who doubt that the plan will
work, they ought to stroll through
this orchard. The trees themselves
have fiourished, and their growth does
not seem to have been hindered in
the least by their surroundings. Trees
younger than three years, are so load
ed down with fruit that in many in
stances the limbs have broken. This
departure in peach growing has ex-
cited attention all over the state
State Entomologist w. NJ. Scott came
all the way from Atlanta recently to
witness the experiment, and after a
thorough investigation pronounced it
a great success. That the fruit grown
at this orchard is of the highest quail
ity can be attested by almost the en-
tire IcommuESty The local dealers
have handled it since it began to
ripen, and Mr.. Dukes wagon can be
seen every morning delivering fresh
peaches to his customers for the days

Fertilizers.

Nitrogen is the most costly element
found in the commercial fertilizers.
Every pound of nitrogen that goes
into a fertilizer increases its value
from Is to 20 cents. says an epitomist
This element is so expensive that we
seldom find it in mixed goods in suf-
ficient quantities to supply the needs
of the growing crops without draw
ing upon the supply already laid up
in the soil. In most so-called COM
plete fertilizers there is not enough
nitrogen to grow two bushels of wheat
in one hundred pounds, while there is
usually enough of phosphoric acid to
grow from eight to twelve bushels of
wheat without drawing upon the sup
ply in the soil. If a farmer has land
that is so exhausted that he must de-
pend upon buying his nitrogen, he is
under the necessity of supplementing
his mixed fertilizer with some chem
zeal that is valued for it's nitrogen
only, in order to balance his plant
food most economically. For this
purpose either nitrate of soda or sui
phate of ammonia is generally used.
But as it does not often pay to de
pend entirely upon buying nitrogen to
grow crop, we shall first consider
the soil nitrogen ana its source of
supply
According to Kings Soil" the mean
amount OF nitrogen In eleven arabic
and grass soils at Rothamsted was
found 10 be .i49 per cent. by Lawes
and Gilbert; eleven other Great Brit
ain soils were found TO contain 1876
per cent. Voleker found four Illinois

says in this connection: tAnd

the position of trustee of the pub
lie schools is an office, such as
can be dealt with by quo warran-
to under section 1920, code 1892.
It is called an Office in the very
act creating it and it is desig-
mated as an Office whenever it is
mentioned in the law on the sub

am further of the opinion that
the act of 1888 under which the
trustees were appointed, was not
repealed by the code of 1892, but
was protected and continued by
virtue of the exception contained
in section 1905 of said code.
This brings us to the one re-
naming question of the constitu-
tionality of the act ont 1888 Great
ing the trustees, under the consti-
tuition of 1869, which approach
with great hesitancy, and with
the greatest respect for the Iegis-
lature.
1t might be urged that the con-
stitution of 1869, section 10,
which provides that each house
shall appoint its own officers, was
in and of itself a limitation on the
power of the legislature to APP
point other officers than it's own,
on the principle of ''expressio
unus exclusio alterus, - and
this view gathers force as the set
tied policy of the State, when we
