yielded eighteen bales in 1904
1t was cultivated on halves by
Mr.. ID. @. Rodgers. We went
out to view this land, which is in
cotton this year, but owing to
'he hot wave which simply cook.
ed the forms upon it, and the
squares and young bolls still hang
upon the stalks by hundreds, the
yield will not be more than half
to the acre. The stalks were
hne, SIX feet high, but the top
three feet had no fruit upon 1T.
This land is fresh, the top soil is
sandy, pebble soil, with stiff, red
clay subsoil, the ideal land for
cotton. This land was broad.
casted with stable manure in the
TALL and broken deep with a two
horse plow. In the spring the
rows were laid off four feet apart
and six hundred pounds of "Dav
Break" a highly ammoniated
guano, was used in the drill. The
cotton was planted about the mid
die of April, of the "Big Bolln
variety. When the cotton came
up 1T was sided and chopped in
the ordinary way. 1t was plow
ed every ten days with scooter
and scrape. The cotton was left
one stalk to about eighteen or
twenty inches.
We are convinced that to get
the maximum yield you must
have 1T thick the land must be
wholly occupied with cotton
We have seen several parties this
year trying seven or eight-foot
rows. This is too wide. We
are confident four feet is best,
both for corn and cotton. Now
three things stand out very clear
to our minds in these two in
stances and they stand at the
very foundation of all successful
farming. First, the lands were
broken deep second, they were
we'll manure' and largely with
cow and horse manure. We can
never do the best farming with.
out more cattle to make more
manure. Thirdly, they cultivat-
ed rapidly. Rapid, shallow cul.
tivation alone can give us the
maximum yield. This is the onlv
way to make money raising cot
ton; and whenever you bring
one or more acres up to this yield
you have done a genuine service
first to yourself for you will
never be quite 50 contented with
a low one ; and second, to your
pocket, which will feel the dif
ference in the fall :; third, to your
family and community in setting
them good example ever to fol
low, and fourth, to posterity, for
to them you will leave some
acres more fertile than you found
them, and upon which they, in
turn, can receive a just return for
all their labor expended upon

FOR MURDER OF COMBES
JIM MOSS, i NEGRO, IS UNDER AR-
 REST.
Evidence Against Him Is Considered strong--rorlowed the White Man When the Latter Set
 Out from Chehaw.

Tuskesee, Oct. 16.--(Special.) )--Jim Moss, a negro, suspected murderer of Allen A. Combes. was brought here last night by W. c. Daniel, deputy sheriff of this County.
 The evidence is very strong against the negro. Moss Is a member of a rail- road bridge gang stationed at Chehaw.
 When leaving Chehaw for his long walk home, Mir. Combes was followed by the Moss negro and was still fol- lowing him when Mir. Combes passed Barrow's Crossing, about two miles from Chehaw on the Western R 'ilway.
 Moss has not been able to prove his whereabouts at the time of the killing.
 Chehaw Is a junction station on this Western of Alabama, where transfers are made to Tuskegee and Is one of the worst spots in Macon County, being inhabited by the low class of negroes.
 Mir. Combes, as stated in this morn ing's paper. left Montgomery Satur- day afternoon in order to spend the Sabbath at his boyhood home with friends and loved ones, and in order to have q full Sunday at home he was obliged to walk from Chehaw to Mo- tasulga, as neither the night train nor the early morning trains stop at No- tasulga.
 Sheriff W. E. Huddieston returned at an early hour this morning to the scene of the murder to gather all in- formation possible as to the murder of Saturday night.
 Tuskegee citizens are deeply stirred over the murder.

couple. During the recess the lawyers agreed to an arrangement on the fol- lowing basis:
 The Prince to guarantee the payment of yearly allowance of $lS.000 and to pay her lump sum of $30,000. provided she abandon all of her claims against the prince. and that after the divorce she adopt the name and title of Louise, Princess of Belgium.
 After these terms were laid before the court, another recess was taken in order that the princess might be tele- graphed for her consent to the arrange ment.
 Later in the day the lawyers for the Princess attacked the competency of the court to decide the case at all. The court then adjourned to October 30 in order to study the question of its com potency to get a1 answer from Princess Louise and to settle the applicability of the Austrian law to Prince Philips agreement that the court avoid raising the question as to which party Is guilty.
 The Princess bill of complaint, be- sides alleging the Princes misconduct with Lieutenant Mattisch says that although the Princess received a yearly allowance, she had contracted debts which in 1895 amounted to S744,S12, of which the Prince has paid $21S,00 and that in her wardrobe were found seventy-flve pairs of silk shoes, l20 pairs of other shoes, sixty parasols and about 100 hats.

 The prince then began the proceed iu1s by proposing to the lawyers that two parties seek to bring about a re- ccnciIiation explaining that this was moi meant to get the Prince and Prtn- cess to live together again, but to agree in an amicable separation and satis- factory agreement regarding property. The lawyers agreed to take the matter under consideration and asked for an internnission for the purpose.
