Two Calves In One.

A calf was dropped on the farm of

1t has 4 jaws. This freak OF nature lived

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfe
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems TO find
it and set the matter right.

AS an evidence that our constant in
sistance on the forms ton of produce
association here of some kind for the
better marketing of our crops, is not
the wild-eyed scheme OF some long
haired crank, read what truck growers
and produce men are doing in other
sections of the country to protect them
selves from senseless competition and in
crease the profits from their crops. The
clippings are from The New York Pack
or of March 49, and are PLAIN enough to
those who want to understand
Macon, Ga, March 2S-The Georgia
Peach Growers association met here on
Wednesday, over 100 of the most proml
nent growers of the state being present.
The committee on commission houses
presented names of houses selected for
handling consignments OF Georgia
peaches, which were unanimously ap-
proved.
The committee on transportation re-\
port that the railroads had declined to
make any concession on rates or in Civ
ing q less minimum weighton cars. The
committee was authorized ito continue
its efforts to get reduction on both
rates and minimum weight of cars, and
given full power to act"
AS to organization of the produce in
dustry, read what one of the largest
operators IN melons has to say. IT his
statements are correct in regard to mel
ons, why not apply his ideas to the cab
bage and potatoe industry here.
Ocala, Fla, March 28.-B. E. Raysor
the largest operator in melons in the
state, gives out the following interest.
ing resume of the crop conditions:
have just made thorough canvass Of
the melon and truck sections of the
state, and am pleased to note that all
indications point to an early season. We
are having ideal spring weather, which
naturally means early beans aud mel
ons.
The Ocala Star says regarding Mr.
Raysor's projected organizations:
Ben says we're the melon gro wers Of
the county to organize an association
with Ocala as their main office, and To-
cal associations at each station Though
out the county, andeach day report tc
their managed at Ocala the number oil
cars loading for that days shipment
pick only first class stock, and guaran
tee same just as represented. the buy
ers would then flock to Ocala aud pay
full value for their Goods, as they would
then have the protection of the associa-
tion. As re often now che case, when
buying promiscuously throughout the
the state, some growers when thous-
and miles away will misrepresent their
cars in order to make sale, while if
the proper protection was offered the
buyers, they would not hesitate take
hold.
Ben thinks great advantage in ar
association would be to prevent gluts
and overstocked market is, and this can
never be done until the growers organ
ize and thereby cease creating compe-
tition among themselves by consigning
their goods to every snide house in the
country.
He says organize an association, put
it upon firm basis, accord the buyer
the same protectlod they themselves
demand and they can sell every car OF
merchantable stock I. o. b. at leading
station, and at profitable prices. for
with proper protection and distribution
there could never be occasion for gluts.

On Feb. 6, Mrs. Taylor attempted
to sell a horse to a Centreyille

Taylor might come back and
claim it. Mrs. Taylor told him
to rest easy on that point for she
had killed him and buried his

story her mother had told about
having killed her father. She
said the story was true. Mrs.

who was hard drinksr, came
home on the night of Jan. 25

her. She secured revolvez
which she had purchased few
days before and tried to frighten
him. He attempted to take it
from her and in the struggle it
went off, the bullet struck him
over the eye and killing him in
stantly. She was so frightened
for fear of being arrested for
murder that she decided to cut up
the body and bury 1t. Her IA
year old daughter witnessed the
shooting and helped her cut up
the body in small pieces with an
axe and burn in the kitchen stave
together with the clothing of the
victim. The burnt bones we're

Johnson Kept His

Negro Executed in Augusta Fri

Assault.
Special to The State.

Augusta, Feb. g. Of all the
executions that have occurred in
Richmond county in the past 25
years the hanging of Miles john
son, convicted of criminal az.
sault, in the Jail yard here at
1O.5 this morning was a display
OF the coolest nerve ever seen on
the part of any man.
When the shackle was being
cut from Jehnson's leg in the
condemned cell his mother started
to cry and the negro calmly said:
"What are you crying for, that
won't do any good" In the song
and prayer services in the cell he
joined in with loud and unshak.
on voice and as the party COM
posed of three colored ministers,
the prisoner and the sheriff and
his deputy mounted the steps of
the gallows Johnson was the only
one Of the six whose face did not
wear a solemn and drawn express
sion. johnson walked from his
coll to the gallows alone and
mounted the steps of the gallows,
IL feet above the ground, alone,
marching between the ministers 8
and tho officers.
When the singing and praying
had been concluded Johnson faced
the crowd and with a sweeping
gesture of his right hand said |:
'ttood bye, everybody; I'll meet
you over Yonder.
He shook hands with each of
the three ministers in rt,rn and
with smile and bow said good
bye to them; then turning to De-
putty Sheriff Britt bowed as an in
dication that he was ready.
When the black cap was placed
and he was left alone on the trap
johnson, standing perfectly erect,
said final 'sgood bye," and the
body shot down.
The trap was sprung at 10.59
aud the pulsation of the heart
ceased in eight minutes.

Utley SurrenderS Himself.
After Lying All Day in a Swamp
and Travelling Day or Two,
He Returns To Fayette-
vile and Gives Him
self Up.
Special to The Obsel YER.

Opeclal TO Inc Obsel yer.
Fayetteville, Feb. 6.--Edward
Utley, whose escape has recently
been told of, Is again in the coun-
ty jail. He lay in a swamp all
the day of his escape, and at
night proceeded southwark. The
next day he bought a horse from
John McGirt, of Waukula, Fer
son county, and went on. He re-
turned yesterday afternoon, say
ing he did not want the animal
and asked to see the newspapers.
A Charlotte Observer was handed
to him, and he road the account
of his escape with manifest emo>
tion, saying he had got Jailer
Pate In hole. He then revealed
himself to McGirt as the fugitive
f;om justice, voluntarily surren-
dered, and asked McGirt to 90
with him to Fayetteville to give
himself up to the sheriff. He
slept at McGirt's last night on
the ground floor, came up on the
train today, unmanacled, got out
and walked with McGirt down q
side street to the sheriff's office.
He said his manner of escape is
''secret that he is going to pa
tent" denies that the locks were
filed or sawed, states that he did
crawl through the opening at the
bottom of the stairway, getting
fastened for minute, for it was
a tight squeeze. He remained in
Jail some time after he was free to
depart, fixing the "dummy" in
his bed. He exonerates Jailer
Pate from all completely and says
that he effected his liberation by
his own efforts unaided by any
friend or relative.
This denoument of a sensation
is almost laughable-a "lame and
impotent conclusion to O grand
flourish of trumpets-and Utley
was the very last man of whom go
flat an ending of a dramatic pose
was expected. Strange to say,
there seems to be general feel
ing of disappointment, for the
hope was widespread that he was
"good gone" out of his own
tracks as we'll as that of others.
"Utley," said a Fayetteville
man, who was in town yesterday,
"has as fine sense of honor as
any man ever saw, and when ho
said he surrendered because he
didn't want to get that jailer into
trouble Utley told the truth. -
