One marked feature of the ginnery' at the Vv jun?l)cro Oil aiul Fertilizer Uompaii} 's \ aid is the completeness of j the entire izlnnjng outfit. For the ben- i >-fir i)f iht.-s2 who haw not had ail] opportunity to visit the place we will j give :i brief description of the entireI plan of operation. The ginhouse is situated eighty feet | from the cotton Iiou.;c, for a safe fire limit; so that the chances to burn the seed cotton stored over night in the cotton- house arc not verv probable. A!! seed cotton is kept away trom the gin-house until ready to gin and only conveyed to thegin-hcu c as it is being ginned. The storehouse lia- .six stalls 1 -1 ? /.( K/\t^in/y Oil caca Lill'.l sj i ?iviuuia ) twenty or twenly-flve bales of cotton. This cotton is conveyed to the ?mhou>c by means of an elevator which is constructed of iron piping nine inches in ilia meter and has a lan at the entl of it which crcates a draft sufficient to : draw the cotton from the cotton-house j into :he gin. A device for dumping the cotton lirst into one gin and then into the other is placed above and between the gins. It works automatically. thus avoiding an\ hauling of cot tor at all. Just under the gin is placed a screw cstiveyor, similar in appearance !o a hig anger, ->vhich conveys the seed from the gin-hou-e to the secd-honsc which are eigh'y fe.t apart. In the event a customer does not care to sell his seed to the company, a slip drawer is pulled open and the! seed runs down a trough into the wagon, and if the party should not happen to have his wagon at the \ ard the ?eed ijre deposited on a piauorm which is higher than tho wagon and the seed c;iii be readily shoveled into (he wagon. Tim feature of the whole business is the taking of the cotton from the wogon. It is amu.'ingto a high degree to witness ;lie countenance and lis!en j to the expressions ot ihe "brother in j black" < " isc stands by ?ml lets the j ? i.:i? l.tj xjihnii ?i1 tf> i Wlliii: Willi: iciiuu'.i imo -.w speak.

In the issue of the News and 1lki:ai.i> of tlic loth instant, Avcrc proi\r\n nrln/1 i /\ mn 1 lw* -r.\lln\r!*#io* |/vuuuvvi u?ux?/inniiMn concerning tlic lien Calvin bigamy case, viz: 1. Has said ca.se been four times before the grand jury? '2. Jn the hands of two Trial .Justices find the Solicitor? ;5. Has the Solicitor over held a warrant for these parties? 4. Has he ever had names of -witnesses? 'Why has no! the lav.' taken hold of this ease? "With the indulgeney and permission of the editor of Tin: Xkws and IFkkai.I) I will answer these questions as fully and as frankly as they are asked?perhaps a little more fully. As a preliminary observation, I will . slate that I am not. and never expeetj to be, either a public or a nnvatfciiW iective; but am roaclva^jf^^ unci under ail eircurggfegJes to do my V.'llOle dutviwl. !i< tJm nm^f'cnlino circuit ami as a private iit.U7.cn. I make this statement in view of tlie implied (though I hope not intended) reflection contained in some of these queries. Now as to the questions. In answer to the first I. say. that so far as my knowledge extends, the case mentioned has never been before the grand jury except on one occasion, and never, upon any occasion , through my hands as a prosecuting officer. I have examined the reports of the grand juries for 1888 and 1889 and find no reference to said case except iiitheir report at the Febmary, 1889, term of the court?which Trill be noticed later. In answer to the second I will say. tliat I have no knowledge or information, of a reliable nature, that the case has ever been before any Trial Justice in tliis County in a legal manner; and can say positively that it has never come into my hands, officially in any manner whatsoever. In answer to the third I c&n answer definitely and positively that I have never had in my hands a warrant for either of the parties. Iii answer to the fourth I will say that I do not know Ecu Calvin or the other party implicated, and never had reported to me the names of any witnesses against him; nor have 1 ever heard the names of anv witnesses against them mentioned in niv presence. In answer to the fifth I will say, frankly, that I do not know certainly, of my own knowledge?or as the books rm TYI'.t it. I have "HO kllOWl-I edge or information sufficient to form a belief," atui hence must beg to refer the solution of this question to the Shady Grove Alliance. If you want my opinion, however, I will cheerfully give it to you; and it is this, that some of the parties who arc so anxious to have this case prosecuted have not the moral courage to come up to the full measure of their duty as good, law loving citizens, and prosecute the case according to the usual, manly and ordinary methods prescribed and provided by the law. And by this I do not refer to you as a body, or ATVllunn TC? ULHU1 >VI?U? -U> VJ[/1IUVAI JLO |/Ul I.AJ founded upon the fiu i that at the February, ISsil), term of court for this County the grand jury notices the case in the following- language: *';A\"e desire to present Ben Calvin and Nancy Shannon for bigamy and call the attention of Trial Justice Miller to said fact, this case being in his district." Only ibis, and nothing more. This is not such a presentment as that required by law. nor could any prosecuting officer draw a bill upon it. _\o witnesses arc j mentioned. 110 dates are given, the name of former wife is not given, nor any facts which arc essential to a regular formal and legal presentment. It looks very much as if some person willing lo be an informer, without assuming any of the responsibilities of that position.'had reported the ease to the grand jury and piously cautioned n,>f tA DiiMiliVii liii -nnmn ns :i witness in (ho case. And yet we arc gravely asked v". . is not tlie law enforced? 1 why arc not the names! of the witnesses.given? I have fre-J qucntly had persons to come to me. j after a trial was ended and the party j acquitted, and say, "If you had only I ashed me. I could have told you facts which would have convicted that fellow." It is a grave mistake to think that the prosecuting: officer knows everything and that he is cognizant of every fact tliiit may be known to men anywiiere and everywhere in the County.

The grand jury is called together three times in each year, when aggrieved persons have the opportunity and privilege of going before them, stating their grievances, giving all necessary facts with the names of the witness to prove the same. The Trial Justices are within convenient reach of every citizen in the State, and when the proper affidavit, as provided by law, is made, he is re quired to issue ins warrant iu airest the parties who have violated the law.

ItEXO V A Tioy OF JSXUA VST ED LAXD To the Editor of The Xcics and HeraldIn rav article "Domestic Fertilizers/' I stated on worn lands the application of commercial fertilizers annually and the same crop (cotton) will ultimately destroy its fertility to the making of a crop without its aid. I will resume the subject and state at the ourset, the only way to avoid the danger is to keep the soil supplied with humus, which can be done if the course I will indicate be practiced, and the crops thereby annually increased and land renovated. To illustrate, take 100 acres, we will say of upland, to be planted in cotton and the cereal crops. In the first place where the land is rolling, protect against the washing of the soil by rain and have enclosed, so as not to permit stock to have access to if, and propor llOU me llll'liotr 01 acics iu tauu as wanted apil if 50 acrcs is planted in cotton, 25 in corn and 25 in small grain; after harvesting the latter plant in peas as thought best and at the laying by of corn the same and in both instances to be tamed under the soil at tbe proper time. The next year let this GO acrcs be planted in cotton and if acid phosphate is applied will increase the yield and the cotton land in the cereal crop. Alternate in this way annually and in a few years it will be restored to its original fertility if not ucyoiia unu iuu ciujjo umu uo quickly injured by drought as formerly in its denuded state. I have a cow lot which has been planted in cotton for several years and it has always stood drought well and retained its foliage green longer in the fall than cotton at its boundary.

I am thoroughly convinced ii' fanners generally don't adopt a radical change in conducting their fanning opperatious and abstain from the use of commercial fertilizers so freely to increase the \ield of their crops, much of (he land now under cultivation will liavc to be abandoned and ieft to nature for restoration.
