NIAK1ES CONF.ESSION
Rowosville, Mach :M. -- The second
act in' tho Bonaparte jail delivery wa:
worked out in Rowesvillo yesterday
and thu third act will follow in the
courts in Oranixebuarg.
it will be remonbored that The State
a few wuoks ago had a story of on
Jako Bonaparto wtao resisted arrest in
liowosvillo and was subsequently ar
restod and then relased from tho gaurd
house by friends who broke the lock
on the door. Iriday Edward Lesosne
was arrested in Rowesvillo and taken
to Orangoburg. On the way to that
city he confessed that he was one of
five who broke into the gaurd house
and released Bonaparte and implicated
four others.
Lesosne was employed by the J. H.
Blako Lumber company at the time of
the jail delivery and together with
Scott Dwight loft at midnight when it
was probable that Boaparte would be
arrested in Fort Motte. Before leaving
they admitted to other negroes that
they broke the lock on the guard house
door and at that time said they alone
were responsible. Lesesne came back
to the vicinity of Rowesville last week
as a workman on a construction train
on the Southern, and a negro who
knew him told the town officials and
the arrest was made. He then impli
ctted Jerry Somers and Rufus Odum,
two negroes employed by the lumber
company, and Wesley Martin, a negro
about the town. Oflicers Smith and
Boone placed the three men unaer ar
rest Saturday night and they were
taken to Orangeburg, whore it was ex
pected they would be held for the
higher court.

Carnel, N. Y., March 25.-A l;ecc
liar Isycholo(gical problem was pre
si(nted in the opening of the trial in
the supromio court today in the case of
dennio Burch, age 15 years, whose
grand-mother, is a full blooded Mohawk
Indian, is charged with murdering the
three year old son of Herbert Winship
six months ago.
The girl, it is alleged, confessed to
putting some 1oison on a poach and
then giving the peach to the baby be
cause she loved it se and could not be
happy."
Whon arraigned, she pleaded not
guilty stubbornly declaring her in
nocence. It is said that Jennit. ate
one half of the peach herself and has
been very ill. Some say the gill be
lieved she was suspected of setting fire
to the Winship barn and that she tried
to kill herself and " take baby with
her."

FOR THE WORLD'S PEACE.
[he news that partial disarmament

nag gratifying eururise to most
sericans. Deeply as'many thousands
persons are interested for the spread
i insurance of the world's peace,
feeling generally has been sceptical
this country that any substantial
vance towards it.would be h-ad for
isrations, but the fact that the
bassadors of Germany and Austria
St Petersburg have discussed with
Czar the form in which the matter
reduction of armaments should be
:posed at the Hague Peace C'nfor
.e, thou.h it commits none i' the
n ors to policy, is a distinct ga,in.

it the discussion be entered upon.
Tho gain is that the discussion will

aoreas the historic attitude of even

NO CORN BEARS EVER COME

Produce as much corn as von may In

iorn bears ruining your prospect. You
annot, eat, food or wear cotton, but
orn in the South is always legal
ender,and can be utilized on the farm
n many ways or sold to your neighbors.
We made an average of seventy bush
31s and nearly one-half corn per acre
last year without using the hand hoe
at any time, neither did we thin the
orn. It was left in the row iust as
the planter dropped it. Our plans for
this year's corn crop on upland is rows
;ix feet,and land bodded out in the fall
lnd January.
Will plant in water furrow from
middle to last of March, if weather
permits. Our low bottom lands were
bedded out with two-horse plows in
January and February in beds ton feet
wide, barrowing top of beds as fast as
plowing goes on. Two rows will be
planted on tou of this bed in Mrach
four feet anart, hill two feet. This
will leave six feet betwonn water furrow
Fide and four feet apart on top of bed.
Cultivaiton will be as near this plan
as weather will admit. About the time
corn begins to poop out of the ground
the weeder will be run over lengthwise
and in from five to seven days run
crossways on bottom lands, but may
have to run over twice on upland with
the rows before crossing on account of
coverintr corn down in the fnrrow.
If the weeder pulls down too much
dirt in water furrow in the bottom
lands 'io will run out water furrows
with large middle buster or double
jack to keep drains operl
Ahon1t t1m crops are halftotn etlti.
vnting tlion apply standard coitiplete
fertilizers in every other middle on
upland, and nitrate of soda at last
cultivation In the other middles,
either saw or drill cow peas or soan
beans in all middles at last ploughing.
Fror fear of missing our seed pe:,s
and heans we will drill one row of
these hotween the six foot corn rows
abont the time we are half through
with the cultivting. We never go
more than twice in a row and smooth
lands hut ouneo.
FlitTII,ZICRS FOR CORN. 'q
We hazvit referred to fortilizers as
though we could not terowv corn wi th -
out it, but this is not the ease, as
manny hiave good lands that gtrow paIy
ing erot's withont the use0 of any
fertilizer. If we had to confine our
rhoice to only one( side apiplication we
would apply nitrate of soda at last
nultivattion.
Our observation and ox terioeno with
the WVi lliamson method is that plant-.
in.g the crop early an down in the water
rurrowv and the into side application
>f soluble forti lizers cont ributes more
o the success of the Williamson method
than the "'stunting'' of the plants.
