InReligiousFrenzy Hug
Kills Preacher
Negroes ExhortatiOns Stirs
Up Too Much Enthusiasm

Townsville, Ga. Oct. GA
negro preacher living near Pavo
has been literally Rugged to death.
The negro had gone to church in
this county to hold ''pertracted
meetin" and was doing we'll in his
sing song exhortations to better
living for the hundreds congregat-
ed to listen and shout. The relig-
ious fervor of the negro without
much exhorting mounts to ire
mendoas pitch, but on this occas-
ion it reached the pinnacle and
during the great frenzy of enthusi-
asm one of the husky brothers of
the congregation went into the
pulpit and grabbed the minister.
He Rugged him like the proverblal
bear, the excitement lending him
added strength.
The preacher took the express
sion of religion without finching,
but when he got home he began
to feel dire effects from the squeeze.
In a few DAYS he died, internal
disarrangements resulting f { m
his experience. 1t is stated that
the negro was we'll liked and that
the style and custom of the religion
of the negroes of that vicinity is
going to be radically changed.

on the climatic and other conditions
Of the locality in which they are to be

clean with hoe and cultivator. and stir

In many localities is better than irri-

All varieties of the vine may be
propagated by layers. The Rotundi-
folia vines are nearly always propa-
gated in this manner. but with other
species layerihg is usually resorted to
only with varieties which do not root
readily from cuttings. In layering
choose canes of the last seasons

near the base of the vine.
It is well, the summer before, to
leave on the vine for this purpose

canes all the well-developed buds are

When grating is done near the

should be driven at the side of the

support for the young shoots. 1t is
good practice to press a little moist
soil over the cut around the junction
of the graft and to cover the scion
completely with fine dirt, hilling it up
sufficiently to protect 1t from drying

When vines grated above ground
are not covered with dirt the entire
cuts should be waxed to exclude the
