Seed of early corn from the North, plauted in the South for several years, witout a fre: -inor a tion, acquires a lIater hbCit o:auing. How is this?. e pat e ceived ofas havingian inasec hch enables it to anticipate the ga --l h of our seasons and regul ate is groth accordingly; and yet it behav j a!s if it had such intelligence. our native corn, planted very . the spring, tends to produce s r. alks but larger ears than that pn ite -A the season.

Our individual exper fe C, I favor of ear3y-planttd cotol. It does not grow of qute as well, -i~ -s cos quently somewhat harder to york, bu fruits better, opens early aican seiiij housed and sold early in iesao: Then, again, early panting is :ore~ pt to bring good standis, for .there is then usually enough moisture in the soil to still bring the plants up; later it is apt to be too dry. After trying "planters" and other modern modes of planting cotton, we have gone back to the old-time method of covering seed with a good list by a double-foot plow and either knock-1 ing off with a board or eveling' d.own with a harrow. Cotton seed wilh no' come up through a tiek coverig of earth, but they will spr"out and gt ready to come up when thus covera, and will appear above ...e sufc promptly when the supeflcu drti removed by board or har e. Bea .c mind, this trocking off or i .mt not labor lost; it is really aegin to' a tirst working. i'or two years w'* a v tried the broadcast harrowing Li cto with a smoo' ing hrrow. tt v..:s donec the first time just as the cotton bega'- to come up. The harrow was run obliquelv across the rows. About a week later it was run again at right angles to the first.I It may be run squarely across theros but never up and down them, for m" ine latter case it would ahnost cer'taumim jure the stand. Where the land was clean and free from obstructions, the work was very satisfatoy \ve wher land was not perfectly clg,12g was not much imipred L 03rnu fallen since the soil wa s cire byte plow, the harrow ten..s to ran. :o dep where the soil is crusteca it wei:s uinely *If one does not"use a harow the sempe should be started just as soo a the first cotton makes its appearacx The wing next the cotton should b e perfectly flat and the cotton sicdds closely that the two furrows ahnost meet.

With the brutal murder of the little in c boy Joh:,mic Lee Good, on the Lv:ing of the "30th of last Novomber, ur readers are familiar. On tha.t eve izig, as the investigation of the jary of uquest and subsequent confessions de- I eloped, the murderers proved to be ?indley Thomsoi.

Several - the accessories or accomplices whose c iames were divulged by the investiga- c ion were lodged in jail, where tly now f ree. t Excitement ran high in the neighbor- 1 ood of the murder, as indignation was i so manifested throughout the county. y he victim was an unoffending boy less I han fourten years old, the son of well- u -do and worthy parents, by whom he c -as idolized. In an unfortunate moment, t' s Prindler Thomson confessed in the o ail, the little boy detected him, Mose, 'I )an and Bailey, in the act of stealing v otton from his father's field. To pre- l cut exposure, the cotton L 'eves brutal y murderired him. Prindley made this 2 onfession: t "I went with them after the cotton in p ir.

When the Sheriff interposed, the rowd desisted until he convinced them a at the men wanted were not in the ti ail. The whole party, which, aside G omn their demonstration on the jail, had c: ~een quiet and orderly, then peaceably t< de out of town. The Shieriff' foiled the would-be lynch s and saved his prisoners, who about e hour of the demonstrati~on were in orth Carolina on their way to Golum tia where they remained until best Sat- t] rav, when the Sneriif deputized Dr. is .

Their identi y was insured by means of a dark lan ern with which the party was provided. As far as can be known, no resistance, ir even outcry, was made by any of the oomed men. A man whose business equired him to pass near the locality of he hanging, saw the crowd approach ng, and stepping to one side of the oad, permitted the entire6procession to ass without offering any molestation. le gives the opinion that the victims vere mounted. He could see no one on oot, and all were proceeding along eisurely and quietly. He saw the party Lot far from the spot selected for the xecution of the deed, a kncll on the oad leading northwest from the jail, nd only a short distance from the stone aarking the first mile from the Court louse. The most interesting scene in an affair f this kind is supposed to be the bear ag and demeanor of the fated wretch, ut just here our account of this one iust be at fault. We have not seen any ne who said he was there, nor do we now whether or not the men bore up ravely, or whether any words of con ession escaped their lips. It is vaguely rhispered, but with how much truth we annot tell, that Giles Good was re uired to act as the executioner of his )ur comrades, and was then compelled : tie the knot of his noose. To this ist requirement he is said to have de iurred, ejaculating "how the devil do ou expect a man to hang himse". gain it is said that ,o words were ttered by any one during the enacting f the final scene, further than one of 2em expressed his desire of the manner f adjusting the rope around his neck. 'he ropes used were ordinary cotton, hich appear to have been used as plow nes. As soon as it was possible for the heriff to do so, he went to the spot of le execution, taking with him two hysicians, but they arrived too late to mnder any assistance to the five limp odies they found dangling from the ees-four from one tree on the east de of the road, and the other from the mb of a stout oak hard by on the op osite side. Life was found to be ex net. The Sheriff caused the bodies to be t down immediately, and on blankets )read upon the ground, laid them side y side, under the branches of the tree a which four were hanged. Here the odies remained until late yesterday fternoon, when they were removed for urial. Prindley Thomson's relatives )ok possession of his body and the ody of Bailey Dowdle was taken posses on of by his father. The other bodies -ere buried at the expense of the county. News of the lynching spread over )wn rapidly', and from early in the orning until late in the day, the scene -as visited by throngs of persons. The colored people, of course, visited le dead bodies with no less motives of ariosity than the whites; but if they 'ere disposed to censure the act, they ave expressions in words to no suc eling. In a group of colored people, bout noon, was an auntie, who had a tter written by Mary Thomson, the Lother of Prindley. The letter was ated March 31, and reads as follows: "My Ds ut CILD: If he has testified at Giles Good led him into that mur ering scrape, I do believe it, for he )uld lead my child better than I conld. [e has objected [preyented] his mother om teaching him the right way, and om my child's action what made me elieve it he always would mind Giles 7ood from ten years old. I could not >rrect him. Do, please, if you break L child's neck, break Giles Good's, too, >r my sake. I do want to see my child ace more, and if he is hung I do want is body. 31Aar Taoxsos." This letter was intended for the Sheriff, ad is a key to the bad reputation sus Lined in the neighborhood by Giles *ood. He was suspected of being the 2ief instigator of the thieving which led >the murder. New York and Washington Society. The attitude of New York society peo i.e toward Washington is peculiar, and iey show their bumptious provincial m in a dozen ways. One New York oman who has spent a couple of sea >ns5 here remarked kindly that she >uld see a great improvement in the et of dinner-giving since she came to fashington. "Of course New York inners have always been perfect, but ere it is quite a new thing, you know, is dinner-giving," was her bland re tark. When repeated to a few Wash igton hostesses who have been giving inners for a score of years there was an mediate tempest in a teapot. New orkers have the coolest way of maing ist such speeches about Washington, ad assuming an air of condescension as it were very kind in them to be amused y the capital's doings; yet at the same me they make all these pretensions iy come here and go the greatest ngths to get into the full swim of so ety.
