to be citizen of Washington, and
collected fees of 81 each from many
negroes on the pretense that at a GER
tain hour when they should meet him
at the Southern Railway station, he
would provide them with free trans
portation to Washington, where we'll
paying jobs, with little to do, were
awaiting them.

BRYANT QUITS STARVING.
Now Takes Food Again and Hopes
to Escape the GaIIows.

Moultrie, Ga, Feb. 22-John Henry
ty Jail, under sentence to hang March
20, for murder, has revised his decis-
ion to die by starvation, and will take
all that is coming to him in this world
Bryant was induced to eat again by
what he considered a ray of hope for
escaping the gallows. A gentleman who
was in the Jail Wednesday looking at
the prisoners, was called aside conf
dentially by Bryant and asked if he
thought he would hang. The gentle
man replied that he believed not, as
he, Bryant, was too good a work hand.
From that moment Bryant's spirits
rose and he has not since refused to
eat.
The city has been receiving consid-
cradle revenue from fines if all the

The police discovered an unusual
number of blind tigers here this week
Four have been run from cover: two
of them white tigers. Ed. White, one
of the first arrested, was tried in the
City Court and given a sentence of five
months on the chaingang. Others have
not yet been tried, but it is Understood
that Judge Covington has about made
up his mind to impose sentences, and
not fines in future in cases of blind
tigers.

Exercises to be Held at the Univer-
sity of Georgia.

DIR. Curry was graduate of the

Fairview Farm,
Pecan Growing in the South.

Pecan Growing in the south.
A bulletin on the subject from the
Louisiana experiment station, says:
Nuts destined for seed should be
gathered with care and placed in COM
paratively dry sand during the winter
and planted as early in the spring as
the soil will permit. In sandy soil, we'll
drained, they may even be planted in
the fall. Whether planted in the field
where they are to remain, or in the
nursery rows, every attention in the
way of cultivation and fertilization
should be given the young trees, so as
to force as vigorous growth as possi-
BILE the first season.
If planted in the nursery, great care
should be taken in transplanting them
to the orchard. The tap root of the
young plant is very long, and in re-
moving to the orchard a goodly por-
ton of it should be dug up with the
tree. Hence greater care is required in
removing from the nursery than with
most trees. Even with extreme care
the tap root will be moderately short
ened and many growers claim that this
shortening is beneficial by inducing a
greater lateral spreading of the roots
Before planting out an orchard, it
should be thoroughly prepared for the
trees. Holes wide and deep should be
dug, and the soil from the same thor
oughly pulverized before being return
ed. If not naturally rich, this soil
should be well mixed with woods mould
we'll rotted stable manure. or a fertil-
izer containing largely of ammonia.
The tree should be placed at the same
level that it stood in the nursery. The
well pulverized soil should be pressed
lightly around the roots and unless the
soil is already very wet, water in suf-
fiCient quantity should be poured on
the soil around the tree, and over this
the remaining dry soil should be
placed.
Pecan trees require much care for
successful transplanting. When taken
from the nursery, all broken or lacer-
ated roots should be removed, and care
should be taken TO shield the roots
from the sun and to prevent them from
becoming dry.
If the orchard is planted in rich al
luvial lands. it will require little or
no fertilizers. If, however, as is fire.
quently the case, the owner desires to
fertilize, one should study the age of
the orchard and prepare the fertilizers
accordingly. If the trees are young and
only growth is sought for, the fertilz-
ers should consist largely of nitrogen
additioned. of course. by small guam
titles of acid phosphate and potash
This mixture should contain at least
two parts of nitrogen to one part each
Of phosphoric acid and potash.
If, on the other hand. the trees have
reached the bearing stage and nuts are
desired, the above ingredients should
be mixed so that they would be in equal
proportions in the mixture In many
alluvial lands potash exists in large
