His plans have lwo ero this fully mature(1. '1o execento them is now the matter of supreme importateu. How often failure coies just at this point! Men who can toll you just how a thing should be done frequently lack the c.tpacity to do it themselves or have others do it under their direction. The thing called ''executive po er," how far-reachiag and iraportaut in every avocation! How indi:pens;t1bl to the farmer! Ho must inautage labozers, stock, machines, manures, t,oi, erops 01 various kinds; lie miet 1?ghtt cold, heat, storms, rains, hoods, drougit, insects, blights, rusts, niildews and Ildasts. A great many distinct things mu;, ho made to work together for a givin e''d. J lou", multifarious the operatios whi i final y terminate in a hale of c~tton or a bu'Iel of corn! ALd yet wearU tolt thi, any min can be a farnier. Yes, tmy on can put seeds in the ground, ny one can hoc 4 grass, any one can walk bel itoI :a plow but is that all? When to plant, how to plant, what to plant; when to; 1.!aw, how to plo'.v. What breuadi of 1n uowltge, what discrimliati ug j o ltheelle ( Ium(, demand!

O.)nie ting is ver'y clear, that unless th e cost oif produet ion ean be ie oduced ther'e w.'ill bo very little pr'olit in cotton tat presen t prices. As soon asu cotton-planting is finishedl earlhy-planited Cot'n wil be1 re'ady for it first working. If planted in '.aler-fur row manure may now h)o droppedl near the bill of corn, and the first piowingp will cover it up. In [his ease also set the wing of tim scraple ne(xt the corn so a it will run very flat tad thti:ow (only at modeorato quantity of oditt int) th lowater furrowv and about [the corn. I t is uito injurious to corn to dirt it hiea'ily when it is young, aid ioree it to trow. oiut na3w roots near the sutrface beo ire it is ready to do so. Corn nural tow out new circles of roots at nuccessiv joints, one set above the other, but n( aill at ('l(ce. A considerable interval ( timte tltpses between the formation c suce!(s'ive whorls of roots. But de dilting interferes with the course nature and causes new roots to fort )rematuroly. Again, by only partiall filling the water-furrow at the first worl ing, more dirt is thrown into it at tl second working, and covers and smoti ert grass most thoroughly, dispensin with all hoe-work. Where corn is no p)lauted in the water-furrow we hay found it an excellent plan to use a twiste or turning-shovel, and starting in th< center of the middles bed u) with h side next the corn. The last furrow cai he run very near the corn, dirting i lightly, but enough to cover up yolm grass (lictuilly if it is dono earl "1no1Ulgh. We contend that a hoc nec nOV('r clte1 IL coriield. Such sidin ;ies good opl)orttutity to 1)Ut Imniuur on each side of corn to be covered at th uext working. We r(eJ)at tlo recommendatiou here tofore given to supplenent the cor crop with one of the recently introducet milets or sorghunis, as kaflir corn 0 millo maize. lKatiir corn is nothing likl ordliiary corn; it resenl es nmilo nmize iu ha,:s a dwarfer habit and 1niturt (I)r'lier. It and nillo ntize have bee wvidely ui(vertised as forage crops; w, valtue tham nore for their oeed I, whicl are about as valuable as ordinary corl for stock f,d.

A man whose bnine a required him to pass near the locality the hanging, saw the crowd app. ing, and stepping to one side o e. road, permitted the entirejprocesuion to pass without offering any molestation. Ho gives the opinion that the victima were mounted. Ho could seo no one on foot, and all were proceeding along leisurely a' ' quietly. He saw the party not far from the spot selected for the execution of the deed, a knc 11 on the road leading northwest from the jail, and only a short distance from the stone marking the first mile from the Court Ilouse. The most interesting scene in an afir of this kind is supposed to be the bear ing and demeanor of tho fated wretch, but just hero our account of this one must be at fault. We have not seen any one who said ho was there, nor do we know whether or not the men bore up bravely, or whether any words of con fession escaped their lips. It is vaguely whispered, but with how much truth we cannot tell, that Giles Good was re guired to act as the executioner of his four comrades, and was then compelled to tio the knot of his noose. To this last requirement ho is said to have de niurred, ejaculating "how the devil do you expect a man to hang himself." again it is said that .o words were tittered by any one during the enacting >f the final scone, further than one of them expressed his desire of the manner >f adjusting the ropo around his neck. lhe ropes used were ordinary cotton, which appear to have been used as plow imes. As soon as it was possible for the herifl' to do so, he went to the spot of tle execution, taking with him two physicians, but they arrived too late to render any assistance to the five limp -- bodies they found dangling from the - trees--four from one tree on the east side of the road, and the other from the imb of a stout oak hard by on the op [)osite side. Life was found to be ex tinet. The Sherifl' caused the bodies to be ut down immediately, and on blankets spread upon the ground, laid them side by side, under the branches of the tree :>n which four wore hanged. Here the bodies remained until lato yesterday ifternoon, when they were removed for burial. Prindley Thomson's relatives took possession of his body and the body of Bailey Dowdlo was taken posses ion of by his father. The other bodies were buried at the expense of the county. News of the lynching spread over town rapidly, and from early in the morning until late in the day, the scene was visited by throngs of persons. Tho colored people, of course, visited the dead bodies with no loss motives of curiosity than the whites; but if they were disposed to censure the act, they gave expressions in words to no sue feeling. .1In a group of colored people, about noon, was an auntie, who had a letter written by Mary Thomson, the another of Prindley. The letter was dated March a1, and reads as follows: ''Mv I )i:a: (UI,o: if lie has testified that (iiles (Good led him into that mur dcling scrape, f do believe it, for he could lead my child better than I could. Ilo has oljeeted I.prevented_) his mother f'romi teachinlg him the right way, a}j d from my child's action what made. hn believe it he always would minG/ (iles (hood from ten years old. ICould nut correct him. 1)o, please, if you break my child's neck, break (Gile Good's, too, for my sake. I do want to see my child once more, and if he is hung I do want, his body. MAnIY TroMsON." This letter was intended for the Sheriff, andl is a key to the bad reputation sus tained in thme neighborhood by Giles (iood, lie was suspected of bemng the chief instigator of the thieving which led to the murder. TIhe attitiude of New York society pee >le toward \Vashington is pieliar, and hey show their bumptious provincial sin in a dozen ways.
