ASSAULT TO MURDER
Is Charged Against Burns and the
Dents-DubIin Notes.

Dublin, Ga, oct 13.-Yesterday aft
ernon warrants charging Dr.. J. r. Dent
and Messrs. Ben Dent and John Burns
with assault with intent to murder
were sworn out by Messrs. J. T. Low
EFT and ]. F. Holmes.
It is claimed by Messrs. Holmes and
Lovett that they will be able to prove
that these men fired upon them from
the fence corner Friday night last and
endeavored TO murder them. Neither
was hurt, but horse being lead by
Nh Lovett was shot down
1t is claimed by the two men that
Mr.. Ben Dent was recognized and that
Mr.. Dent was shot in the face by Mr..
Lovett, who returned the fire. Early
Saturday morning it is said that DR..
Dent went TO the home OF a negro
woman and washed the blood from his
face. He had eight holes in his face
made by small shot. 1t was rumored
Sunday that he had died of his
wounds, but this seems to have been
a mistake. In fact, his friends deny
that he was shot or that he knew
anything concerning the affair.
While DR.. Dent cannot be found his
friends say it is because he is afraid
for his life, and not that he is con-
cerned at all about the charges against
him. He will turn up all right, they
say.
New POstoffice Building.
The new postoftce building is about
complete and the postoffice will move
the latter part of the week. The fix
lures have arrived and are being put
in place. When all has been COM
pleted no town in Georgia will have a
prettier postoffice building and fix
lures The government has taken
ten-year lease on the building, which
was erected by F. G. Corker, Esq.
Cotton Receipts short.
So far this season only 5.119 bales of
cotton have been marketed in this city,
a falling off from last year of 1905
bales. One reason for the loss is the
lateness of the crop, but there is no
doubt that the short crop has had
something to do with it, The farmers
all say that the crop this year is
short considerably as compared with
last year. Only a few farmers will
make as much cotton as they did last
year. 1t is believed that within thir-
ty days all of the cotton made in Lau-
rens county will be marketed.

Last Weeks North Carolina Crop Bulletin

Cutting old corn was continued
during the week; some1ate corn has
also been cut and shocked, though
much of it is still too green in sew
eraI western counties; the bulk of the
corn crop has matured sufficiently
to be safe from frost, and will give
a large yield. Fodder pulling is
nearly over. Late cotton has been
somewhat injured by cool nights, and
generally the dry, cool weather has
tended to hasten the maturity of the
crop; it is opening rapidly every
where, and picking is general; some
correspondents report that half the
crop has been gathered; indications
n still for a short croD. In some
sections of the northern portion of
the State late tobacco is reported as
the best crop for some years, prob
ably on account of the excellence of
late cures; the work of housing to-
bacco is nearly complete, though
there is some in the fields which
might be damaged bv an earlv frost.
Making hay, picking peas, digging
peanuts and sweet potatoes, and har-
vesting rice progressed f~avorably
during the week. Turnips and fall
Irish potatoes need rain; turnip seeds
have failed to sprout. Some farmers
are sowing srimson clover, grass
seeds, and some advance is reported
in the seeding of winter oats and rye
and winter wheat. Early sown rye
is being injured a little by insects.
The next Weekly Crop Bulletin
will be the last issue for the present
season.

is being done in many parts of the
country, through school consolidation
and the development of agricultural
high schools, to give the country boy
and girl the advantages of a connect
ed, well-adjusted, and rational sys-
tenn of public instruction, while Su-
perintendent Kern, of Rockford, Ill,
in a brief illustrated article, gives
the results of practical efforts
among farmer boys in his country in
the direction of interesting the boys
in the business of farming and in
teaching them the things worth
knowing in their rural environment.

The necessity for the farmers to
be united is apparent. For many
reasons a farmers society, club,
brotherhood, or whatever else it
might be called, would advance their
interests. The farmer lives apart,
isolated, from his fellows. A farm
ers' organization would tone up his
social instincts. He could learn
from the experience of others. He
would have the benefit of united eff
fort and purpose. Now. since all this
and much more is so, what is the
matter with the Farmers Alliance?
It is a much more definite plan than
the new one recently put forth
Fremont Visitor.

zine has prided itself On the time
illness of its features and the healthy
v|irility of it's own. Now, it has
found itself. entered on it's own mis-
sion, headed out on its particular
crusade. The keynote of this indi-
viduaIity is the article by Alfred
Henry Lewis, in the October number,
"The Madness of Much Money"
This is a scathing attack on the vul-
gar displays of great wealth to which
the new generation of milliOnaries
has treated the country. With a
brutal d~irectness Mr.. Lewis diagnoses
the madness which often goes with
much and sudden wealth, and ridi-
cules unsparingly the gilded idlers
who make up the so-called American
aristocracy. 1t is a rough, even
a p~itiless arraignment of certain
prominent persons and it is safe to
be generally read and appreciated
all over the country. Throughout
this number the magazine shows a
purpose to depart from the baleful
worship of Mammon and its posses
sors- which characterizes SO much of
the writings in current periodicals.

Mr.. R. J. Avery gave some per-

A. This insect is a troublesome one
and does much damage to the wheat
oron il the Piedmont section of this
State. 1t has three stages of devel-
onment the fly, the maggot, and the
NINA, and then to the fly again.
Professor Sherman gave the follow
inc as means of prevention. Sow
wheat after October 20; also burn off
the stubbIe of infected fields when
drv enough. The fly may also be
caught by sowing a narrow strip of
land around the field to wheat early,
and when it becomes infected pillow
under.
Mr.. W. w. Finley talked on what
is commonly called Gravel Hoof, but
his knowledge of veterinary medicine
taught him that there was no such
thing as a gravel working through
a horses hoof, but that the lameness
was caused by abnormal growth of
bone. 1t IS curious to notice how
many people believe there are such
things as hollow horn and hollow
tail in COWS, and, that oats will turn
to cheat. People must keep in closer
touch with the workings of the Elk
pertinent Stations if they wish to be
successful farmers.
Mr.. S. ". Foster gave some per-
sonal observations of various plant

taIfa bacterial" These germs must
be present in the soil or artifcially
applied to the soil if this crop is
grown successfully. This crop does
well in our State where it has fav-
orabIe conditions, and we do not see
why 1t IS not grown more widely.
The last topic was "Glanders," dis
cussed by Mr.. J. O. Morgan. The

MASON ENDORSED FOR
NATIONAL SECRETARY
Chamber of Commerce Opposes Re-
nnoVaI of Dam.
moVal of Minnesota Dam.

The Chamber of Commerce yester-
day Endorsed the candidacy of Fred
Mason, secretary of the Retail Grocers'
and General Merchants Association OF
Minnesota, for the secretaryship of
the National Retail Grocers' associa-
ton, which he will make an effort to
get at the convention Of the association
at Kansas City Jan. 1875.
The chamber expressed it's disap-
prevail of the projected removal by the
war department of the dam at the
mouth of the Minnesota river. An ap-
preparation of $4,000 having been
granted last June for the removal of
the dam, the chamber, after pointing
out the benefits of the dam, requests
the secretary of war to devote the
money appropriated for the improve
ment of the channel of the river. If the
dam was removed, 1t is said, naviga-
ton up the river as far as Chaska will
be prevented, while the presence of the
dam does not cause overlooking of the
lands; nor would it's removal add ma
ter1ally to the lands along the river.
