Three Profitable crops In One.

~
l. One ton of vines per acre is only
an ordinary crop Of vines. They are
worth on the farm SIS 90 per ton, one
half of which should be profit.
2. Thirty-four bushels Of peanuts per
acre is the average yield; one dollar per
bushs| / z, : fairpl No one questions
|tne pfJiit III ehst: 'ss
g. If after the crop is made you neg
lect to gather it, but let it all return to
the soil, it adds nitrogen to your soil,
the market value of which exceeds $50
per acre. Some profit there.
By feeding the vines to cattle, mules
or horses and letting the hogs harvest
the peanuts. all three of these crops
can be saved. 1t is hardly possible to
lose them all.
The average peanut crop has a feed
ing value, per acre, equal to that of fif-
ty bushels of corn. Remember that;
don't forget it.
Prof. Duggar at the Alabama Expert
ment Station found that an acre of
Spanish peanuts on poor, gravelly land
produced 600 pounds of live weight Of
hogs. At 615 cents per pound, the
present price, that would be $S9 per
acre. The Louisiana Station has found
that an acre of peanuts on poor land
contained 1872 pounds of nitrogen, the
market value of which is from IS to 20
cents per pound. 1872 pounds at Is cents
equals $S4. Sc. Eighty per cent of the
elements contained in the feed is con-
tanned in the manure. Therefore, eIgh-
ty per cent of the $34. Sc worth of nitro
gen in the peanut crop must be returned
to the soil when the crop is harvested
by hogs. Therefore, we add $27.64,
value of nitrogen, to $50, value of gain
in hogs, and we have gross returns of
$66.64 from an acre of peanuts on poor
land. The Sc Ga will pay all expenses
of raising the crop. The soil will be
greatly benefited by the addition of
humus, etc. If these returns are not
satisfactory, the crop should be given
a chance on some good soil and the re-
suits will be correspondingly great.
John H. Page, Agricultural Commits
sioner of Arkansas, says, ''In Arkansas
one man made 5000 on six acres Of pea
nuts and had ton Of hay per acre left.
That is mighty good for Arkansas.
However, it can, it should, and it will
be beaten in Noxubee county, Missis-
slppi.

recalls to my mind many pleasant mem
cries, when he, Bob Patty. Ben Allen
and George billiard were the "Bie
-Four" in Noxubee politics. They were
all my friends and I had many a good
time with them.
Once was selected on the jury and
had my friend. Capt. Thomas Pierce. to
come into Macon with me, promising to
get old man Ben Walker, then sheriff,
to put him on,the jury also. At my re-
quest, Ben told him to step in, the jury
box, and become member of jury No. l.
When they commenced trying cases,
Will Boyle said, "Mr. Pierce can step
aside"
Finally l said to Tom, "What has
Will Boyle got against you? I'd zee
the gentleman and have this thing
stopped"
Tom very promptly replied, 'T'll see
the gentleman about this" When
court adjourned, saw him take Boyle
off to one side and expostulate with
him. | found out afterward this was
what he said. ''Mr. Boyle, want to
know sir, why you excuse me from the
Jury every time?" Will told me that
as soon as Tom said this to him, he
knew had put him up to it. so he said,
"Why. Capt. Pierce, thought you'd
understand this at once. There were
some knotty questions in those cases
and ! knew Emmett Cavett and those
other fellows didn't have sense enough
to see into them and | knew you did. "
So Tom said at once, "By Gosh, old
fellow that is alright. Z"
Will passed me in few minutes af-
terward and said, II caught on to your
game, old fellow, and scotched it."
The next night we were all at the
hotel and was telling that they didn't
allow Tom to sit on single case.
We had negroes on the jury then, and
Tom at once replied, ''Yes, gentlemen,
was somewhat cut up at being excused
from the jury. but when ! looked back
and saw that they had left five negroes
on the jury with my friend, Cavett. !
didn't take it as any reflection on my
intelligence"
Tom was always ready for you, very
quick at repartee and we certainly en-
loved that session Of the court.
Tom O'Neil said ! reminded him of
an old country friend Of his, who was
called on the jury for a week, and well
tanked up by the lawyers on both sides,
and was asked when he got back home
how he liked being on the jury. He
said, "Why, boys, it was equal to two
Christnas's." don't think the young
er generation has as much fun at all
these gatherings as we did in the brave
old days Of yore.
Monday was Gen. Lees birthday and
the Legislature adjourned at twelve

Letter from
Big Bud.

To the Beacon:
Although Ifwrote in my last letter
that had been sick. my good old friend,
DIR. Minor, was the only one who
thought enough of me to write me a
letter telling me how sorry he was !
was sick and how much he loved me.
He said we were in the same boat,
for he'd been suffering with vertigo
for the last three years, but that we
were two gray-headed old "Johnnies. "
and must stand at attention, obey or
ders and take whatever was in store
for us-that we were both of long-lived
families and with proper care could live
to good old age, in spite Of vertigo :
that when Bishop Ames, of the North
ern Methodist church. died at the age
of eighty-one, Judge Ames, of Macon,
said his brother had disgraced the fam
lily by dying so young.
DIR. Minor is grand old man, and l
am so proud that he deems me wcrthv
to be called his friend.
We'll, the doctors say | can attend
the sessions of the Legislature, but
must not take too active part; not
make many speeches. But my old
friend. Frank Dantzler, used to say
that if he wanted to punish me, he
would put me in crowd and fix me so
couldn't talk. But I'll try to hold my
peace if / can content myself with vot-
ing AYE" and ''no" on the many bills
proposed.
Mrs. Ed Owen, known to most of us
as Miss Cal. Jarnagin, told me that she
went out this summer to see my old
time friend, Will Boyle and his family.
She said that Will had son-in-law in
the Legislature of that state, and that
he read my letters from the Mississippi
Legislature with great interest. and
that he was sure if he lived in our
county, he would vote for me again.
But if / can't take an active part in
the proceedings of the House, fear
that he will be disappointed in this ses-
sion.

ROBERT HARRIS TRIAL AND IT'S
LESSONS.

Robert Harris, who was once threat
ened with lynching, Is now . free man
in Colorado. He did what every other
man with the red Of blood Of self
respect and love OF honor and family
would have done under the same cir
cumstances. He simply protected the
confines OF his home, though humble
as 1t may have been. A fair jury and
an impartial judge TALL white) have
declared him innocent Of a felonious
intention to commit murder. So let

civil, Industrial, social and legal
rights should be maintained. That
