dirt visible. BY stepping on the land
it should not leave any foot prints
deeper than half to one inch. And
by removing about one half inch OF
the dirt on top, moisture should be
found.

Every farmer should invest largely
in fertilizers. They cost something, but
they also greatly increase the yield of
crops. Water is necessary to dissolve
fertilizers. for which reason they should
be applied on the land early, in order
that the plentiful rains of spring may
prepare the ingredients for the use Of
plants. The failures that have occurred
with fertilizers usually are due to lack
of moisture, and manure from the barn
yard may be equally as useless if there
is an insufficient supply of moisture.

 Is it to be wondered that for four years this negro played T spy" with many of the smoothest detectives known to the world of criminology? His downfall was brought about by the same means that have brought the finish to thousands of Caucasian crim- inals-over confidence and carelessness.
 At o'clock on the night of March ', 1896. there was a sudden flash fol- lowed by the report of gun in coun- try store at Atmore. 133 miles south of Montgomery on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. and the desperado, who, for four years, had baff1ed the shrewdest detectives in the United States was stretched on the floor with gushing stream of red blood telling the story of the end.
 About 4 o'clock on an October after noon in the year 1892, a small Iocomo- tive with one of the old-fashioned clumps looking "hoopskirt" smoke stacks was laboriously jerking a couple of flat cars loaded with pine logs. A hundred miles further up the country from this scene the woods were all ready beginning to be fiecked with the red and gold of autumns handlwork. Here there was no hint of autumn. The fierce waves of heat beat down with the oppressed intensity of a July day. On both sides of the grass grown, crude- looking track the luxuriant vegetation Of tropical Florida almost hid the slimy morass beneath. The scene was a mile from Bluff Springs in the county of Escambia Florida.
 Sitting in the cab Of fba nnisv lfttIa h. comotive there was in addition to the engineer and fireman a third man.
 Bill" remarked this man to the engineer, lover at Bradford's turpen- tine still Is a nigger named Slater that pears like he is huntin' trouble, That nigger owns q rife and when I noti- fled him bout ther tax on weepin

 Just ahead there was a wood rack and with a rancous creaking. as if the | old joints were stiff. the engine pulled up at the rack while the fireman began filling the depleted tender with wood. As the train was starting again, a medium-sized negro, carrying a Win chester rife climbed up on the front end of one of the fiat cars. The Els cambia County Sheriff was just in the act of delivering a broadside of to- bacco juice out of the cab window. There was a splash" as 1t landed. but
 the sheriff was staring at the negro | 'Thar's my man now" he cried to the | engineer, and at the next stop I'll see if he can't be reasoned with"
 In few moments another stop was made, and, getting out of the cab, the sheriff started back to where the ne- gro was sitting on the flat car. Either former experiences had made a deep impression on the negro. or his percep- tive faculties were unusually keen, for as soon as he saw the sheriff start to- wards him. he jumped off the car and plunged into the dense undergrowth. 1 Give me the slip thet time. didn't

When the sheriff reached his office he called up two of his deputies Brewton and Beaufort by name-and after telling them where the negro's cabin was located. instructed them to arrest him if he still refused to pay the tax on the ''weepin." +-~
 Now, boys" said the sheriff, this is said ter be a pretty desperate kind of negro-Morris Slater Is his name but you will be all right if yeu don't let him git ther drop on yer ....*
 Does Morris Slater live here?" asked one of the deputy sheriffs few hours later as he knocked at the door of a cabin in the dense woods.
 ''Yessah,' answered a negro woman as she opened the door, "but"-just then negro man followed the woman to the door. My name is Morris Slater" he said; what is it you want?''
 We want you to pay the tax on that rife or consider yourself under arrest" said the deputy nearest the door. That was the last word he ever uttered on earth, for before he had finished speaking there was a flash Of fire, a sharp report and with a sob- ping groan Deputy Brewton sank to the ground. a huddled, quivering mass of flesh. Like flash of lightning. Deputy Beaufort's pistol was barking toward the cabin door as he dashed behind the friendly shelter of a gnarled old pine tree One fraction of a second later and Beaufort would never have gained the protection of the tree. Just as he jerked his head and body into this sylvan sanctuary, the wicked vicious ping" of d bullet was heard. fragment of bark left the mother trunk and dropped to the foot of the tree.
 Then came a scene. the dramatic in- tensity of which equalled the most real istic stage picture.

 shanty an infinitesimal shaft of light shot through the trees serving to in- tensify the midnights blackness.
 Beyond the report of the Winchester and the answering crack of the Colt the stiffness was absolute.
 shivering dread stole over the poor devil trapped behind the pine tree. The knowledge that just out of the range of the gleam of light from the cabin door lay stark and ghastly on the for est floor of pine needles au inanimate ' piece of clay, all that was left of the rugged, healthy man who had only a few hours before come joking into the black woods with him, was almost | overpowering
