TO IKE II Up on stPT. e.
After Discussing the Matter Nearly

and through East Hampton to inc

council last night rcfc ed the rntli
matter back to the special investigate

The railway company submitted a
letter Offering a plan BY which 1t uc-
sired to reduce the kln$ stic'.
schedule to every thirty minutes, ana
agreeing 10 sell books of ten tlckS'S
for 90 cents to w>rkinemcn ana CIV
ing school children rate OF 112
cents instead of PIG cents as htr"'o
fore. The company also promised 10
consider the proposition to have IN"
zone in the easterly section ct the
city end at the city limits.
In the report of the special commit

relative to action on the letter fr-m
TIE railway authorities but 1t was suS
gested that the council ask for ZIG
cent tickets for school chiture II aEn
teachers; to maintain thirty minute

Mt&srs, Samuel Gordon Cumming

said the company wouli todai d. an

pupils must present a letter from inc
principal OF the school. at the COM

Capt. Frank w. Darling declared
that ne favored fifteen minute

Il railroad man he knew the company
would lose money in running TWO
cars along this line in order to main

$4,000 worth OF preferred stock III
the company. but didn't think it was
worth the paper it is written on.
Capt. Darling told the council that

secured by his father it was for the
purpose OF keeping Mr.. Payne and mis-
company from entering the city. ana
not with the view to making 1t pay

prospects are for next year, bas-
ed upon the consciousness of hav-
ing an abundance at home and
no pressing obligations to force
our cotton on the market at a
price less than that indicated.

this year. In no State do [ hear
of any inclination to weaken,
but having so much debt upon
us and beirx put to so many ex.
pedients 70 borrow money on
our cotton in order to meet our

indebtedness and obligations we
could meet the issue, settle it at
our own good pleasure and be

corn that grew in this field, we
@ea second premium at the Ten
nessee Stats Fair III September.
The variety of corn is white !;
but it was not so much the kind
of corn that made the yield. as
it was the preparation and culti-
vations with the natural fertility
of the land. This land had no
fertilizer of any kind applied to
it; aud there were many acres on
the same farm of equally good
land, that did not average over
forty bushels per acre. How
ever, we cultivated none our
selves that did not make an av
erage yield of fifty bushels per
acre; and this was first year new
land and was not planted until
the latter part of June. There
are quite a number of farmers
within. the radius of our ac-
qnaintance, who seldom, if ever,
make smaller average yield
than fifty bushels per acre.
Hence, this makes the general
average of the remainder very
low indeed.
But with thebest soil, thorough
and proper preparation and cul
tivation, we cannot obtain the
maximum yield without a per-
feet stand of corn, produced by
good seed of strong terminating
power. Here is where many
corn growers fail. A grain of
seed corn with weak vitality can
not produce strong, healthy
plant that is capable of produc-
ing as good an ear of corn as
plant from good seed. 1t takes
a perfect stand of corn on the
ground 10 get the maximum yield
If the rows of the field of corn
are 100 hills long, and there is
an average of ten missing hills TO
the row, the yield is bound to be
one-tenth less than it would have
been with a perfect stand; and
should the stand be perfect, but
from seed whose vitality had
been weakened from some cause
or other, the yield cannot be as
great as it would have been from
seed whose vitality had never
been injured. In fact, we con.
slider good seed a point of vital
importance in the production of
a good yield of corn. The time
is not far distant when half the
number of acres will produce
more bushels of corn than is now
being produced in the South.
