A. w. H, Liverpool, Ga:
Dear Editor: 1 notice in The Journal
that Mr.. Heard wants to know how to
thrash sorghum cane seed and / thought
would give my way and that is this:
Just pile them down on a floor and beat
them out just like you would peas; then
clean off the tops and blow of the chaff
or clean them in a light wind like you
would peas. I could thrash several bushels
in a day and clean like millet seed we
buy.
Now I have two horses that are eat
ing UP my stables and / want to know
what to 90 to stop them; they are about
eight years old and have been subject
to this habit nearly all their lives. Any
Information viii be gladly received.
Answer: Cut some small green poplar
poles and fasten in your stalls where the
horses are confined and give them oc-
casionally a mixture of salt and hickory
wood ashes. Take a few cotton ties and
nail along the edges of the horse troughs
and any other places where they can bite
the wood. It is bad habit and is hard
to break. am glad to know that so

The question as to whether or not Hon.
Dupont Query will support his law part
ner the Hon. Joe Hill Hall in his race for
the house of representatives in Bibb coun-
ty is being asked very often these days.
Mr.. Query says that he will support only
candidates pledged to vote Tor a state
prohibition bill, and Mr.. Hall, who is
making stump speeches throughout the
state, says, although he is a Guerry man
for governor, he is an anti-prohibitionist
The situation is almost as unique as the
race between ]. Y. Allen and Ben Tisen-
ger, in Epson county. They are law part
ners and are running for the same Office,
while Mr.. Guerry and Mr.. Hall are law
partners and one is running for COVER
nor and the other for representative. Mr..
Query favors state prohibition while his
law partner, Mr. Hall is opposed to it.
Mr. Query says the way to get prohi-
bition bill passed is to support only can
didates for the legislature who favor state
prohibition. Mr.. Hall is against state
prohibition.

There has been dissatisfaction among

JEALOUS MANS DEED.
Tied His Wife TO stake and BUN
Killed Her.

From the New York Journal.
Tonawanda, N. Y, March 21.-Never
was a more CHASTITY crime committed
than that for which the farmers here
abouts are likely to lynch j. b. Post
a farmer himself, who tied his wife to
a post in his barn this morning and
allowed savage bull to gore her to
death.
Post lives on the Worth road, four
miles south of this village. He was in
sanely jealous Of his wife and quar-
relied with her last night, as he had
often done before, over the attentions
Of a neighbor. Then he tied her and
had the bull kill her. He is now in Jail
here, closely guarded to save him from
the men who until to-day were his
friends and associates, but who now
would expose to MIN the same afro
cious fate he melted out to his wife.
Post confessed his horrid crime to
his brother. An effort will be made to
prove him insane, and on that slender
chance his life depends, for either his
ipfuriated neigEbors or the law viii
enforce the extreme penalty-this is
prophecy that may be heard at every
crossroads In the county tonight.
Mrs. Amanda Post, the woman SO
and young. She was much interested
in religious movements, and her at
tendance at religious gatherings en-
ragged her husband. There was a pray
er meeting at kenmore, half a mile
from the farm, last night, which she
attended, and while there she spoke to
the Rev. Hiram Coates, a Free Metho-
dist preacher, who knew both her and
her husband well and was a frequent
visitor to the Posts home.
Late last night, after the Posts had
returned to their farm, a neighbor driv-
ing by heard violent quarrel in prog
ress between them.
This morning George Jeeves. q rural
mail carrier, stopped at the Post house
to deliver a letter, but there was no
answer to his hail, and he stepped in
side the sitting room through the wide-
open door. The room was in disorder,
furniture was upset and the signs OF
a struggle were obvious. He went
through the house, calling for Post.
and finding nobody there he went to
the barn.
In the bun pen he saw the body of
Mrs Post, horribly mangled. Above
her stood the great bull, with lowered
horns still directed to the body that
lay at the foot of a stake, about which
broken ropes still hung.
The situation exposed the whole
tragedy The woman had been bound
fast to the upright, with a red calico
apron tied about her. and the bull that
was tethered in the pen had been let
loose The red apron made it certain
that the savage animal would attack
The frantic charges of the bull had
broken the cords that bound the wo-
man ard let her down to the floor OF
the pen and the bull had gored her
again and again. All through the night
the bull had tossed and mangled the
body

his ambition to emulate his father, and
theoretically lassoed his little brother.
When the moose frightened about his
neck the little chap trudged submis-
svely along behind his captor until
the slaughterhouse was reached.
There the elder brother took a small
iron bar and dealt his captive a blow
that knocked him senseless. Then he
fastened the rope around his ankles and
hoisted him up by means of a windlass.
A few moments later he appeared in
the kitchen, where his mother was at
work.

The mother accompanied the boy to

She lowered the little boy to the

over him for two hours, assisted by

The "Ea" left Fernandina March II

in a thick fog, with two lookouts for
ward and the captain and both of his
officers on the bridge, the ship brought
I'D standing on the sand bank. Capt.
Garry gave the signal for full speed
astern as soon as the ship grounded,
but could not start her. No sea was
running at the time and the wind was
light At 10 o'clock that night when it
was full tide the captain tried again
to back her off, but failed. Sunday a
southwest gale came up and drove the
vessel farther on the bar. 1t backed up
a heavy sea which broke over the
ship with terrific force and she began
breaking up. By daylight her backbone
was broken and she parted in the mid
ole, the forward and after ends settling
in the water and leaving her amidsnips
nigh and dry with a gaping crack be-
tween the two sections. The same day
the Wilmington, N. c., towboat Alex

the Ea's assistance, but could not get
alongside. Shortly after the revenue
cutter Algonquin appeared on the scene
but she had to stand off because of the
heavy sea which was running. Sunday
night the tug and cutter both ran out

for help, asking them to send a boat

least try to devise some means to get
something to eat on board the wreck
No vessel was able to do anything for
their relief as the sea was still break

tug stood by the Ea all night while
the cutter again put out to sea. Tues

Some days ago it was thought that
the fruit crop in this section had been
injured by the cold. Col. John NJ.
Stubs, who is the largest fruit grower
in this part of the state, was quite sure
several days ago that the fruit crop
had been badly damaged. Deputy State
Entomologist w. F.. Higgins has,
however. made a very careful exami-
nation of the young buds and gives
it as his opinion that the crop has not
been injured in the least. If this be
true and no more cold comes, one of
the largest peach crops ever known in
this part of the state will be made this
year.
