Arrested F or Murder After Twelve Years

The old addage murder will out" was rather forcibly brought to mind Tuesday evening as the writer stood looking at a crumpled, crippled. cowed mass Ief humanity as he lay on a shawl on the tiled floor at the Union Station.
 The man was bandaged and bundled with the surgeons dress ing about the head and arm as if he had been in a railroad wreck and sure enough he was. He had been arrested at Tyler, Texas and was in charge of the Sheriff of Hancock, Georgia, who was taking him back to answer the charge of a murder commit ed 12 years ago in Hancock county. The prisoner was hand cuffed on one hand but in as much as he had ridden so peace :ably for the first several hun aGred miles of the journey, the Sheriff allowed him to go into the toilet unaccompanled and aitiaes the train was running thirty miles an hour. and the night dark, he raised the window and iunnped out. The Sheriff quickly discovered the escape and called the conductor to stop the train which was done and the Sheriff hiked it back for seV- eral miles thro' the rain and darkness until finally he came on his man sitting near the track all bruised and bleeding. The bewildered culprit wanted to know who hit him, clainlng that someone had struck .aAd robbed him and disclaiming any knowledge of ever having been on the train, denying that ne had ever seen the Sheriff, etc. The jump was made on Tuesday morning about 3 o'clock from the fast train of the Cottoh Belt due here at ] o'clock in the morning, but which was running late.
 The Sheriff secured the ser vices of a physician who dress ed the wounds of the prisoner and advised the Georgia Sherlil that he might safely proceeo with him.

Killing at Hunter Last
 Night.

At Hunter last night at 7:l0 o'clock Bevell Terrell was shot by John Webb, from the effects of which he died about 8 hours later.
 Terrell was a man about town and was the cause of the separa- tion of Webb and his wife some 20 months ago.
 Webb had often made threats that he intended to kill Terrell but the latter paid but little at tention to it. Terrell had just walked out of the Pettus store when Webb shot him in the throat just above the collar bone with a 38 cal. pistol. Bevel ran to Caples store where he had his pistol but his strength failed him and he dropped on his knees Dr. Monroe attended him but death followed as above.
 Ammon Brimneman arrested Webb and Officer Hunt carried him to Cotton Plant to jail. Webb was arrested and fined 
 for attacking Sam Canada few days ago and the cause was as- signed same as above.

FERTILIZERS AND
SOILS FOR ONIONS
Heavy CIayS, HiIISideS and Stony
Land Should Be Avoided
Old Muck Lands Best.
(By ]. T. GRAINGER.)

The best soil for onions is a rich,
well-drained loan. Heavy clays, hill
sides and stony land should be avoid
ed. Onion soil cannot be too rich.
Excellent crops are grown on deep,
rich, muck lands that have been un-
der cultivation for three or four years.
Such lands should contain a fair mix.
ture Of sand. New, raw muck lands
give poor returns.
The ground for onions should have
been planted to some heavily manured
hoed crop the preceding year and be
practically free from weed seed. 1t
is a great mistake to grow onions on
weedy or rundown land.
The following which relates to grow
ing onions on a large scale also ap-
plies to garden growing.
A rather firm seed bed which re-
suits from fall plowing is desirable
and gives the best results. A second
crop of clover, heavily fertilized with
barnyard manure and turned under
in the fall followed by potatoes the
next year, makes an excellent prep
aration for onions the second year.
A heavy top dressing of we'll rotted
barnyard manure or compost should
be applied in the spring, and well
worked into the soil. After this, a
complete commercial fertilizer an
alyzing per cent nitrogen, per cent
available phosphorus and 10 per cent
potash should be applied.
This fertilizer formula is very pop
ular with large onion growers, and it
should be put on broadcast and thick.
If the ground is in a high state of
cultivation the commercial fertilizer
may replace in part, the barnyard ma
nure. A top dressing Of ashes and
hen manure might also replace in part
the commercial fertilizers.
Very successful growers use them all
and in addition nitrate of soda applied
broadcast in three or four applications
during the growing season.
Wood ashes constitute one of the
best forms of potash fertilizers and
should be carefully kept under shell
ter away from the rains.
1t is well to bear in mind that it
costs Just as much to seed and cult
vate a crop of onions that yields 300
bushels to the acre as it does to grow
crop yielding 800 to 1000 bushels.
And further that the land once prop
erly prepared can be used for grow
ing onions year after year unless In
sects or diseases come in.

VEGETABLES MUST
NOT BE CROWDED
Much Garden Stuff Ruined by
Not Being Trimmed Out
Much Nerve Required.

Do not be afraid to thin out your
plants-they must not be crowded.
Probably more garden stuff has been
ruined for want of being thinned at
the proper time than by any other
cause.
However that may be, one of the
most puzzling things for the beginner
is to find out whether any particular
vegetable should be thinned or trans
planted, and how far apart the plants
should stand afterward.
He will get some help from the cata-
logues as to the distances, but whether
he should transplant or thin is the
kind of thing that is not in the book.
1t requires great deal of nerve to
pull up and destroy the unnecessary
seedling-more nerve than the anna
teur possesses. They say that per-
son never becomes a good gardeGer
until he steels his nerve to this ruth
less sacrifice.
A vegetable must have plenty of
room to develop its best size and fla
vor, and no one can take pride in small
or commonplace vegetables. True it
is that "the worst weed In corn is
corn"
Middletown transcript., 1915-05-08

1t will not do to simply smooth over
the top Of the soil. It should be thor.
oughly pulverized to the depth of eight
to twelve inches. To do this requires
a considerable amount of spading and
raking.
When the soil is in the condition
Of the finest portion of your garden,
then plant your seed in rows 80 inches
apart, one seed in a place, and cover
lightly.
Then it is necessary to keep the
surface of the soil very fine all through
the growing season in order to keep
the moisture from evaporating.
Do not wait until the weeds grow
higher than the corn before attacking
them. Use the rake as soon as they
make their first appearance and then
keep after them with rake and hoe
and hands until the corn natures.
II this practice is carefully followed,
one may be agreeably surprised in the
improvement of his crop, even from
seed that has hitherto proved disap.

SCARECROW THAT
WILL SCARE CROWS
Ordinary Device, in Most Cases,
Does Not Serve Purpose
New Idea Is Suggested.
(By r. A. GALLIHER.)

The ordinary scarecrow, consisting
Of pair of old trousers, coat and hat,
which adorns SO many cornfields aft
er planting time, does not, in most
cases, serve the desired purpose; but
is regarded by Mr.. Crow as a notice
which plainly says: Here's a place
to get your free lunch" and he gets
it, too.
But there is such thing as making
a scarecrow that will scare, and here
is the way to do it.
Take box about fifteen inches long
by ten inches square. Place this box
near the cornfield fence, having one
end of the box open, and a hens
nest" in the other end, in which put
two or three fresh eggs.
In the open end of the box set a
small steel trap, covering it with fine
dry grass or leaves. Then place an
egg about two feet from the box, in
such a position that when Mr. Crow
is in the act of getting this egg he can
easily see the ones in the nest.

is generally the last one. Now you
can catch one crow in this manner, but
one is sufficient; for he will at once
get busy giving out danger signals
that will be needed by all other crows
for miles around.
Don't be in a hurry about releasing
him, for the longer he is in the trap
the better opportunity he has of cir
culating the news Of his imprison-
ment.
Unless his legs are broken or he is
otherwise injured, it is best to let him
go, and not kill him.
No danger Of this one coming back,
and the whole crow family will steer
clear of that cornfield all season.

Wise Writer Gives Some Advice That

Remember.

II he is suspicious don't take him
too seriously.
And why? Because, If you do, there
is always a great probability that he
will imagine that there is a good foun-
dation for his foolish want of trust.
A lover is inclined, perhaps natur-
ally, to be a trifle Jealous of the be-
loved one; but even this usually harm
less characteristic should not be en-
couraged overmuch.
AS for suspicion, it should never
raise its ugly head in the paradise of
love; If 1t does, it will spoil everything
and cast a gloom over what should be
undiluted happiness.
A vise girl will therefore always try
gently to laugh her sweetheart out of
such unpleasant fancies; of course.
she will be careful not to give him
reason to begin them, but If they do
unluckily crop up, then she will do her
utmost to Danish them.
Kindly laughter will often do more
to make a man see that he has been
foolish and wrong than any amount of
the best-intentioned scolding or re-
proaches.
The latter are apt to leave a sore
ness and resentment behind them,
whereas a good natured laugh leaves
no sting of any sort.

This question is being asked by the

The cost of the silo is the greatest
obstacle, but If this stands seriously
in the way pit may be dug and fin
ished at cost not exceeding fifty to
one hundred dollars for material. Pit
silos are very satisfactory and are
certainly to be desired rather than
to have no silo at all.
