When should late Irish potatoes be
planted, how fortified and cultiva-
ted?" Plant in July. Run deep fur
rows by going twice in the furrow.
For fertilizer mix 200 pounds of acid
phosphate, 300 pounds Of cotton
seed meal and forty pounds of muri-
ate of potash an acre. Put it in the
furroW and stir it in with a bull
tongue. Plant the potatoes sixteen
inches apart, making the rows three
feet apart. Cover the seed very
lightly. Then as they start to grow
work the soil to them till level and
then cultivate perfectly level and
never hill them as we do early po-
tatoes. for in the late summer we
need to keep a dust blanket on the
soil to keep the moisture to the
roots, and killing would dry out too
much. Get them deep in the ground
and cultivate rapidly and shallow

Unearths Spanish Coin Worth $1,000.

Savannah, CAN. Byrd negro
who runs a confectionery place, has
arthed near the old war batter
les adjoining LIE Pageville about 400
old Spanish coins, the equivalent of
about Sc, 500 in American money.
He is said to have told business
men to whom he offered the coins
for sale that two other negroes had
discovered the money by accident
and that he had been asked to dis
pose of them; but this is doubted.
Byrd talked as little IS he thought
necessary about how the coins were
found, and the men on the bay who
became interested in the find could
get no satisfaction out Of him. At
his place Of business it was said that
Byrd was out for an Indefinite Pc
riod, and his wife repeated the story
that two other men had found the
coins and that Byrd was merely try
ing to sell some Of them.
One OF the coins, an onza, worth
about SIG in American money, was
bought by John Faus, a travelling
man and brother-in-law of F. J. Ec-
tave, who was greatly interested in
the discovery, but did not get an op-
portunity to talk with Byrd. Mr..
Esteve examined the coin which Mr..
Faus bought and testified as to it's
worth.
According to Esteve the story
which Byrd tells is plausible. The
coin which Esteve inspected has
1882 date and is we'll preserved.
Byrd says most Of the coins were
about the size of the one he sold to
Mr.. Faus. Because Of their ancient
coinage Byrd should get more than
the face value of the coins according
to Mr. Esteve.
twas said that Byrd had really
made the find himself and that he
had told the story about the other
two men to mislead any who might
lay claim to the gold. Byrd travels
through the country districts
great deal, buying bottles, and it is
said that while walking near the LIE
Pageville section some days ago he
came across an old coin on the
ground with bright edge showing.
Searching closely, he is said to have
found about 400 of the coins in a
place followed out in the ground.

American Smelling and Refin-

Stephen Dudack, thirty-two years old,

shot by the deputies, who fired to pre-
vent the men from setting fire to the
sb,OOo,oOO plant OF the smelling company.
Three men were seen lying in the
street after the rioters fed. One wound
ed man gave his name as Joseph A.

should not be further delayed. II was
understood that three companies Of the
State guards we're ordered yesterday
to Hold themselves in readiness for in
slant duty. They could reach here
within an hour.
The direct cause of todays attack on
the smelling plant was the presence
within Its grounds of 500 imported
strikebreakers. Their appearance
seemed. to drive the striking laborers
into a frenzy.
The strike leaders declared that the
firing was totally unwarranted and al
simply aching for a chance to pot the
foreigners The killing of Dudacx
was called "sheer murder" by the strik-
ers and, coupled with the injury to sew
eral of their number, has further
aroused them.
