: One farmers Method.

One of the best farmers we ever
knew kept a slate hanging up in the
barn and on this slate made entries
something like these:
Weak place in the west field fence;
Joe repair it at once
Take cultivator shovels to shop next
time buggy goes.
Repair Jacks harness and Bob's bri-
die first wet day.
Frank, see Smith and tell him to
bring log chain home.
Two sows due to farrow May 16;
keep sharp lookout.
Bunch of red sorrel in south field
near shade; for self.
Wood pile must be watched; haul
some first chance.
When any job like the one, noted
was done, the rule was to erase the
memorandum about it, and the man
who kept the slate told us that there
was always a friendly rivalry between
himself, his son and the hired man in
the way of keeping the slate clean.
The rule was to sean the slate when
ever any one came to the barn, and
if he was called away and there was
some work of his own to be done, in
stead of telling his wife "to tell the
boy" a simple entry was made over-
ing the work to be done and all went
well.

Animals That viii Not Drink.

Naturalists have discovered many
animals which seem to need no water,
or which drink only at rare intervals.
There is a certain breed of gaZelles
which never drink. and the llamas of
Patagonia live for years without tax
ing water. There is a particular class
Of cattle near Losere, in France. that
rarely touches water. but in spite Of
this fact these cattle give milk of a
rich quality, from which excellent
cheese is made. Many naturalists
have the theory that hares do not drink
or that water is not a necessity for
them, and that the dew on the grass
is sufficient for their needs.

S~tatesboro, Gait was learned here
that Sebastine Mcbride, a negro. living
near Portal, in the upper part of Bull
ioch County, was taken from his house
at night by five men, carried to the
woods, whipped severely and shot. He
died soon afterward.
Before death came. however. he re-
lated the manner in which he was han.
died and told the names of three of his
assailants. They were, he said. Perry
Barnes, Henry Barnes and Wesley
Waters, all white men. The names of
the others lie did not seem TO know.
He said the men came to his house and
hailed him at the door. When il was
opened they came in with guns and
held his wife at bay while they carried
him away. After they had been gone
some time his wife heard several guns
nred. In the night Mcbride returned
home, badly beaten and shot in the
back in several places.
Several of the white n~eighbors went
to see the negro and took his testimony.
Coroner D. Q. Stanford held an inquest.
The killing was done some distance
from this place, and it was impossible

The verdict of the CorOner's jury was
obtained, however, and the Sheriff has
gone to arrest the accused by Mcbride
and named in the verdict.
Fitzgerald, Ga.-A. L. Scott, the ne
gro slayer of ]. A. Bishop, died in the
city Jail here at 4 o'clock in the after
noon. His death probably averted Sc
rious mob troubles, as excitement was
at fever heat from the time the special
train arrived from Rebecca with the
prisoner, who was captured by citizens
of that place.
The evening before, when the first re-
port of Scotts capture reached here,
Chief of Police Herman Smith, accom-
panied by six armed citizens. left at
once for Rebecca, which is a small vii
lage, fearing a general uprising among
the negroes. Smith and his party were
followed by a special train carrying a
heavily armed force from here and
gathering up a number en- route.
The special train returned at 2.30
o'clock in the morning carrying the ne
gro, who had resisted arrest until NOR
tally wounded. He was taken to the
city Jail and early the next day the
mob gathered, and there was imminent
danger of lynching. The prisoner was
removed to the second story Of the City
Hall, a substantial brick structure, and
placed under a heavy guard.
Company NJ, Fourth Regiment, Geor-
gia State troops, under command of
Lieutenant Charles A. Day, was called
to arms and held in readiness for i'm
mediate action.
The mob refused to disperse for more
than an hour after the death of the ne
gro, declaring the report to be a ruse
to deceive the excited populace until he
could be removed to Abbeville. He
died thirty minutes before the arrival
of the Sheriff of Wilcox County, and
the body was placed i'll the City Hall
The Coroner of Wilcox County was
sent for.

WHERE THE ICE GROWS WILD.

I love the tinted glories of the flowers as
they smile
In the sun-defying meadow or the shady
forest aisle;
And when the killing frost has come ! SEEK
them once again,
In a snug conservatory meath the alright
window pane.
But, dear as are their beauties, I would
fain forsake them all
When the mercury, once docile. starts to
shake itself and crawl,
I'd cease my cold-wave ho~ping-hoping but
to be beguiled-
And start for old Alaska, where the ice
grows wild.
Oh, puny little prism! On my doorstep
you repose;
Where the iceman daily leaves you as
along the line he goes.
And you seem, when thirst is raging, and /
call you to the drouth,
Like a snowflake in an oven, as | put you
in my mouth,
And I long to leave the flowers and their
sweetness to the bees;
To shun tn. treacherous breezes which go
signing through the trees;
To find the land of plenty, where the cold
in chunks is piled,
To dwell in old Alaska, where the ice
grows wild.

Country work For City Girls.

In Perthshire, Scotland. this season,
fruit growers have dispensed almost
wholly with tramp labor. Following up
the experiment of last year, girls from
Edinburgh and Glasgow and Dundee
have been secured as pickers. These
girls are engaged in indoor occupations,
such rs d~ressmakers and factory
hands. and they welcome the open air
employment as 4 health giving holt
day for which they are paid. Board
and lodging Is provided or them on the
fruit farms very comfortably ct six
shillings per head per week, and care
is taken to se- that they are well
looked after.

Poultry Notes.

An elevated site is desirable for a
poultry house.
See that the poultry house is we'll
ventilated.
Leg weakness comes from high feed
ing and forced growth.
Sprinkle the places most ~frequented
by the fowls With slaked lime.
A sole diet of corn produces too much
fat, when given to laying hens.
Mix a little powdered charcoal with
the soft feed and it will assist diges-
ton.
With poultry, as with other products,
it is a safe rule to market as soon as
ready.
The turkey is one of the best pay
ing fowls the farmer can keep, when
the surroundings are favorable.
The egg shell is porous and any nth
on it soo affects the meat. Eggs
should be cleaned as soon as gathered.
The breed of fowls to select from is
the one you like the best. This has a
great deal to do with which is the best
fowl.
Fresh eggs are more transparent at
the centre, old ones at the top. Very
old ones are not transparent in either
place.

1t cannot think. It does not know. IL
has no true perception, nor any mental sc-
ton whatever. apart frO.l what we call
instinct. 1t Is utterly without the moral
experimentation love, without hate,
without hope, without faith. Though ~
longing to the Kingdom Of God, it lnOws
as little Of God as Herbert SDeuceT used
to insist he and the rest Of mankind knew
1t IS nothing but d buLdie Of unconscious
organized life, with inherent capabilities
not yet manifest. 1t hasn't ability enough

memory enough to remember itself at this
stage OF It's being. Were it not for that
hrst miracle OF Providence IN human life
the mothers loYe-it would perish from
the earth on the day Of its birth.
But wait a little and see. Wait until
the mothers fostering care, and the faith
ers disciplinary training, and the instruc-
ton Of the schools and the churches, and
all the various appliances OF Christian CIV
i~lization have wrought their vast part IN
connection with the universal law of de-
velopment and prOgress-and then observe
the child, now become the man. How
wonderful and indescribable the result
That little child now stands erect and sur
veys the high places Of the earth. Re
climbs the heights, and, walking with God
on the horns Of the mountains, he sur
Yeys the heavens lie counts the stars
and calls them by their names. He knows
ne Is superior to suns and systems. His
heart thrills with pulsations that are
mightier than ocean currents or solar in
fuences. He sees. He knows. He un-
derstands. He reasons. He feels within
himself the mighty mastery. He calls out
to God, and God answers him. The scep-
tire is already in his hand, and the crown
is in sight that the Son Of Man Himself
will soon place on his brow. Henceforth
he is king, and alive forevermore, with a
life that viii rule the world and conquer
death.
Such is the law Of progress which is
here applied to the church, both eollec-
lively and individually. We are here sol
EMMY commanded to rise up and seize our
inheritance. Never before in all the ages
was there such a concurrent blast OF trum-
pets from all quarters of the globe calling
the church to go forward. Let the COZ

Bowling Once Illegal.

Bowling, now so popular in this
country, was once prohibited by law
1t was formerly known as mine pins
when only nine pins were used. 1t
became the rage in England and was
prohibited there by Edward ". Then
the game was brought to this coun.
try and was also made unlawful in
several States here.
But to avoid the law the enthusi.
asts added one more pin, making it
"ten pins" and became so popular that
the ban against it was removed. In
late years it has become known as
bowling because of the heavy balls
bowled down the alleys.

Covering Sins.

There are two ways of covering sin
mans way and Gods way. You cover
your sins, and they viii have a resurrec-
ton some time; let God cover them. and
neither devil nor man can find them.
There are four expressions in the Bible
with regard to where God puts sins:
He puts them behind His back. II
God has forgiven me, who shall bring a
charge against me?
He has blotted them out as a thick
cloud. You see a cloud tonight, and to-
morrow there isn't a cloud to be seen.
He casts them into the depths of the
sea. Some one has said, Thank God that
it is a sea and not a river; a river might
dry up, but the sea cannot" The great
est blessing that ever comes to me this
side of heaven is when God ~forgives me.
Have you been forgiven
The fourth expression is that He re-
moves them as far as the East is from
the West. Do you know how far that iss
Perhaps some good mathematician win fig
ure that ny.
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful
and Just to forgive us our sins, and to
cleanse US from all unrighteeusness."
Then make sure that you are forgiven
