door several shots were fired into
the room first. Several bullet holes
were in the bedstead and the wall.
The negro had single-barrel shot
gun, and when the hall door opening
into his room was forced open he
fired one shot at close range.
Skull, Hair and Brains Scattered.
There was a pool of blood in the
hall floor, and brains were on the
floor and even some on the wall
across the hall, where the load of
shot entered the wall after striking
the boy. The crowd then piled into
the room and shot and beat Iverson
to death. His gun was found with
the stock broken, where they had
beat him.
Blood signs showed that the
wounded white boy was carried from
the hall out to buggy and away.
There can be no doubt that white
boy was killed, for Iverson hardly
got into the hall, and could not have
left these signs, and then none of
his skull seemed to be missing,
whereas there were several pieces
on the hall floor. There was a bunch
of long dark hair belonging to a
white person found with a little
flesh or skin sticking to it.
Believed to Be Ross Manor.
1t is generally believed that the
one killed was Ross Manor, young
man about grown, and that his body
was buried or hid in some old house.
All of the crowd are supposed to have
lived in Randolph county.
1t is not known that the fact that
the negro owed a former employer
had anything to do with the crime.
1t may have been a party of half
drunken white boys who wanted no
past cause or grievance, or it may
be that they knew of the Negroes
debt, and resolved themselves into a
band of whitecaps with the inten-
ton of giving him a whipping.

them the coffee should be ground, not
too fine. for that viii make the coffee
dreggy, nor too coarse, fer that pre-
vents the escape of the full strength
Of the coffee juice. To make good
coffee the water must be freshly
boiled. 1t is OF the greatest import
amce that the coffee pot be kept per
fectly clean After observing these
conditions, proceed to make the coffe
according to the following rule: HayS

Set the coffee pot en- the back OF the
stove. SO that the coffee will not boil

If you wish the coffee strong, allow
one cup, or the ordinary mill of cof

full to keep both the stradnea' and tht

FOR THE BOYS WHO GROW CORN
How to Select Soil and Seed and cuI.
tipate the Crop.

The United States Department. cd
| Agriculture is encouraging the or
| ganizaticn of boys corn clubs by
furnishing seed corn, some instruc-
| tons and also by granting the frank
ing privilege to the county supeTin-
tendentS of education in whose coun-
ties corn clubs have BEEN organized
The following suggestions may be OF
some interest to the boys just at this
| time:
| l. Where a choice can be had
| warm, porous, well drained loam
should be selected. Cut the cotton or
corn stalks into pieces and turn unde
THE stalks, grass, trash and the like
a little deeper than the soil has ever
been broken before. Corn requires
deep, fine seed bed.
| g. Plant only the best seed obtain
able. Repeated tests clearly show
the desirability of planting only
corn for seed which has been grown
i'm the same latitude and preferably
| in the same neighborhood where 1t
| is To be planted. A large number OF
stations have tested the relative mer-
it's OF kernals from the butt, middle,
land tip of the ear for seed and have
found practically no difference In
the results obtained.
3. At planting time use 200 to 400
| pounds per acre of cottonSeed meal
and high grade acid phosphate mixed
| in equal quantities. At the time OF
lthinning the corn scatter ON each sid
| OF the rows and cultivate In 200 to
45d pounds OF eottonseed meal and
acid phosphate mixed in equal quar-
titles. At the last cultivation, sow
two bushels of peas per acre between
the rows and cultivate in and then
use 200 or 800 pounds of nitrate Of
soda per acre as a, top dressing.
a. Harrow before and after plant
| ing, then give shallow cultivation
every week or ten days, and especial
| ly after every rain in order to break
up the crust and preserve a dust
mulch. The results of Sc tests at IL
different experiment stations show an
average increase of AZ per cent re-
sulting from shallow cultivation as
compared with deep cultivation.
| 5. Thin before the corn is eight
inches high to a single stalk in the
hill from one to two feet in the drill
| These distances suppose good soil,
high fertilization, and intensive culti
! walton.
/ 6. When the ears begin to set, cut
the tassels out of all weak stalks and
stalks showing no ears or only nub-
bins This will prevent fertilization
/ by inferior stalks and will increase
the yield very much.
Z. Do not strip the leaves off the
stalks. G. H. AFFORD.
