Only Son of the Late Georgia Editor Disappears from a Hotel--No Trace Can be Found. \ Atlanta, Sept. 9. ? Henry W. Grady, Jr., has disappeared, and liis friends and relatives are much concerned ovor his fate. Mr. Grady is the ouly s??n of the late Henry W. Grady, editor of The Atlanta Constitution, who at the time of bis death was probably the most popular man in tho| South. Young Grady was last seen in Norfolk on Fiiday of last week, when lie left the hotel whore he was stopping with his wife and child, in order to secure transportation for the return trip to Atlanta, his home. Since that time no trace of bim has boen found by any member of the family. Mrs. Grady, prostrated with grief, has returned to Atlanta. Eugeno R. Black, a prominent attorney Af Ikto ^ ' 1 * V> tuw VIVJ> uua iiruiliur ID-law or Mr. Grady, is now in New York in quest of him, having abandon d all hope of finding him in Nor. # folk. Mr. Grady has long suffered from severe attacks of hay fever and it is thought by some of his close friends that his protracted illness had affected his mind. The strongest theory udvanced 10 ex planation of his disappearance is that be might have wandered aboard an outgoing steamer or train while under temporary mental abberation. The theory of foul play had olso bccu put forward, but it is difficult to find a m five for this as Mr. Grady had only a small amount of money upon his person when he was la&t seen. The theory of suicide is not entertained by his family or friends. His domestic life was happy and he was in very comfortable financial circumstances. Every possible effort will be made to locate him, and the police of every city, domestic and foreign, will 1)0 notified to watch for him. The missing man was for a time prominent in Atlanta political life, having been city councilman for two years. He has for moiuo years Seen connected, in an editorial and reportori'd capacity, with the Constitution. His wife was Miss Grace Gould, of St. Louis, Mo. Consumption ' . / . A.

Chicago, Sept. 9.?A dispatch to The Tribune from New Orleans says: A woman's conscience compelled her to reveal the mystery in the doat*h of Earl C. Lukens, manager of the New Orleans branch of a correspondence school. Lukens was believed to have accidentally drowned on the evening of August 31. On that evening a party boarded the yacht ludian for a sail down the river. On the yacht's return it was announced that Lu- * kens bad accidentally fallen overboard and drowned. His body was recovered two d*ys later. Mrs iL .m?v vuiivau, tut) yOUOg wife of a traveling man, has con* fessed to Coroner Richard that she pushed Lukens overboard. Mra.

Mrs. Jarreau is held by the po* lice as a witness. After she told her story a search was made for Reig, and it was ascertained he had left the city.

The .Rabacea river even now is a storm of tire a quarter of a mile or more wide. The greater part of the Uabacco is wrapped i 11 vapor and there are mimic eruption* everywhere. The river bed is continuously throwing up columns and dense clouds of steam, mud and pebbles. The land has spread farther seaward and is changing considerably the appearance of the district from what 11 was prior to Sept. 3.

What Has Been Done in Development of Dairying and Stocking Raising. Mr. Ij. A. Ransom, who Is well known in the South on account of his conspicuous work in agricultural matters and his connection with the South Carolina department of agriculture, and now with the Southern Cotton Oil Company, as District Manager, at Atlanta, Gu., In writing about the Influence of cotton seed products on the development of dairying In the South, ays: "About 1850, a few wealthy and enterprising Southern planters imported some Devon cattle from Kngland. These were turned loose In canebrakes with the native scrubs and allowed to roam over large areas of wooded country, picking up a precarln,,a II..? - -vo ikiiik un me scant pasturage afforded by the woods freshly burned over by the forest fires In the spring. Although widely scattered and a few In number, the prepotency of this breed was so greet that In many sections the evidence of this infusion of good blood Is still visible In the stock. "No well-to-do planter at that time considered that he had milch cows enough to supply the wants of his family unles he owned at least twenty-live or thirty head. These droves of halfwild and half-famished animals were located towards nightfall by the ringing of a bell hung around the neck of the leader. They were driven to the cow-pen, sometimes miles from where they were found In the woods, a spasmodic effort was made to extract milk from them, penned up over night, and a second attempt made upon them the next morning. The 'average yield' was about one quart per cow. "The idea of Increasing this production by Judicious feeding was not thought of. This was the rule, but of course there were notable exceptions. People who did not own unlimited acres of land, and who appreciated milk and butter, took better care of their cows, fed them regularly, and allowed them to pasture during the day on their neighbors' land. This pasturing was more to give them proper exercise, and keep them healthy than to afford them any means of subsistence. To such an extent had the cattle Interests of South Carolina in lsso depreciated that the repairs to the farm fence cost more than the value of the cattle In the State, and the probability is that the same was equally true of nearly all the Southern States." Then came the "No Fence Law," which compelled the owners to fence the cattle instead of the crops. This forced the farmers to own good milch cows, or none at all, as It became t<?> expensive to feed poor stock. About thia Itnn rwv,,K~ ,,Ai' ...... ?.uv, Hmiu|ia a. nine earner. appeared the "Jersey" on the scene, a breed of cattle as suited to the needs of those who were "too poor to own a cow, and too proud to milk a goat." But this beautiful little animal soon demonstrated that she was not a "quitter," and, furthermore, that she "tilled a long felt want," and. with m-opcr attention, gave rich returnn on her cost and keep, and, like the Irishmuns |iis li.at lie i:.:a.cI ?? the cul>;?. With his children, she "paid the rent" as well as the freight. As compared with the Devon, she. was smaller In statue and Rave less milk, but the proportion of cream to water in what she did give, far exceeded that of the Devon, the Durham, and Holsteln. and she promptly became the prime favorite of small families and butter-makers. But she could not live without feed, and butter could not be produced profitably on corn meal, wheatbran, or cowpea diet, nor could it be produced at all on what the Jersey could pick up In tho pastures. Nature, always lavish, but provident, hid away coal In the earth for ages, only to bo uncovered when the world needed It most, pointed the way to the gold fields only when this precious metal was absolutely required for the world's commerce, and covered from sight the phosphate rock of the Carolinas until Improvident man had destroyed the fertility of the fields, likewise sho held hack the materlul required to moke dairying In the South possible and profitable, until conditions were favorable for its use. The advent of the Jersey cow created a demand for a cheap and rich food, which the oil mills supplied with hulls and meal. In a list of fifty of the leading feed materials of the United States, tho National Department of Agriculture ranks cotton seed meal first, In feeding value and places the value of cotton seed hulls for the same purpose above tho best timothy hay. The use of these products has fully sustained the department's reports, and dairy farming Is fast becoming an industry of Importance, and this has been largely the result of the liberal policy of the Southern Cotton OU Co. of the Carollnas and Georgia, which has headquarters, at Columbia. S. C., Atlanta, Ga., Savannah, Ga. and Charlotte, N. C.i Goldsboro, N. C., and Augusta, Ga. Around the large cities In the South, dairies are successfully operated, supplying the people with wholesome milk, and rich golden butter from cows fed on hulls and meal. The country mills have accomplished the same thing for the farms and small towns. Around the factory towns the small mills make dairying possible, und profitable. fts the ilomnnrt fr/im ?K. tlves in sufficient to consume all the milk and butter that can be produced, and the use ot meal for fertilizing the land, which la sold reasonably by the Southern Cotton Oil Company, has greatly enlarged the area devoted to truck farming of nil kinds. Without oil .mill products dairying would be Impossible In many sections of the South. The abundance, cheapness and convenience of the products has already developed the business to an interesting extent and It is only rn its Infancy, and its growth will Increase rapidly each year with the steady Improvement In the grade of inilch cows. Oleomargarine contains about forty per cent, milk, and th? compound is a wholesome product. The establishment of co-operative factories for Its manufacture In the vicinity of oil mills where refined oil can be had would give a tremendous Impetus to dairying in the South. ?Some farmers claim that September sown oats never fail to yield a good crop. If that be true, people who contemplate sowing onts should strain a point to get them in in September.? Yorkvillo Enquirer.
