THE EDGEFIELD LYNCHING. THE ACCUSED MAKE THEIR APPLICA TION FOR UAIL. A Large Number of AfRdavits and a Great Quantity of Argument-J-idge Hudson's Decisl-,n. (Coraensed from the Xeics aud Courier.) COLNiA, November 4.-At 10. 0 o'clock this morning the hearing of the application for bail made by the thirty four men charged with the murder of 0. T. Cuibreath, in Edgefield county, on the 21st September, was begun by Judge ILudson. in the county court room. A number of lawyers were present as interested listeiers. The seats outsid% of the ba- were empty. Judge 8adso having consented to hear the application without compel ling the attendance of the prisoners, none of them were present. Senator Butler and Mr. E. McG. SimkinsVere present as counsel for the prsokW. Attorney-General Miles and Solic, tor Bonhmn appeared to represent the State, and were assisted by Messrs. Earnest Gary and N. G. Evans. Senator Butlerp -of counsel for the prisoners, readj* 1reliminary ?-apers in the case. The reading lasted from 10.45 to 12 m. Messrs. 1hWeaidj Butler nd Gary ncxt took turns to read ninety-two affidavits in support of the application for bail. Thirty-four of these were made by the persons charged with participation in the crime, and were to the general. effect that they had no connection with the lynching, but that, having gathered to attend a public meeting which had for its object the detection,=4 lawful punishment o the mnra cf W. H. Hammond, and havh 'been 'advised to disperse and return home, they 'had done so. Most of their affidavits contained these statements. The other affidavits were in greater part made by the wises aud relatives of a number of thqdiccused, who deecethat ihe - men were at their horn COtreath w&s killed. The reading lasted nearly two hours. It is of course impossible to report in detail the substance of all these papers. Counsel f6r'the prison ers consider the affidavits of Mrs. Cul: breath, Miss Culbreath, Senator W. J. Talbert, 't2aH..Bussey and Mr. D. C. Bussey the. most, important ones, and they ar -e6rdingly presented below: Mas. CULBEATH'S AFFIDAVIT. Mrs. Fannief*i-cat Culbreath, be ing sworn, siya tha she was the wife of the late 0. T.

Talbert, State Senator, being sworn,-' ays: That deponent lives about fifteen miles from Edirefield vil lage. That deponent was at home and seat his son to the postoffice, about two miles distant, for his mail; when de ponent's son returned from the post office on .the 21st September last he informed ileponent that he had seen a number of citizens riding along the road, but, did ~ot know where or for what pupose-hey were going. De ponent was quite unwell, but knowing that there was great excitement pre vailing in that community on account of the recent murder of W. H. Ham mond, and apprehending that, in con sequence of the inflamed ccndition of the public mind, something wrong might be done, and believing it to be his duty to discourage and prevent any the direction in which the persons had been seen to ascertain the object of the movement. Deponent went to the home of his neighbor, Pat H1. Bussey, and informed him of his purpose, and requested him to go with him, which he did. Depo netit and P. H1. Bussey overtook diftler ent citizens along the road, and when they overtook D. C. Bussey, who waQ riding, P. H. Bussey, who was on a mule, rode with him. Deponent went forward rapidly and found a number of citizens at Antioch Church, and was informed that others had ridden in the direction of Edefield. When the citizens got together there was a large gathering. Deponent was in formed that the object was to take steps to bring the murderer ot Ilani mond to trial and punishment. When it was ascertained that a warrant had been issued for the arrest of 0. T. Culbreath, some of the citizens, as well as this deponent, advised the crowd to disperse and go home and allow the law to take its course. No objection was made, but the crowd seemed satisfied and began to get their horses, and persons began to leave. When deponent saw P. H. Bassey, D. C. Bussey, W. L. McDaniel and t4thers mounted, he asked them if they -ere ready to go home, and, being answered that they were ready, depo nent went for his horse and they rode off soon afterwards. Deponent and others then rode off in the direction of their homes. Deponent saw a num ber of citizens along the road while riding to his home, and particularly when deponent passed the residence of Wyatt L. Holmes, where there are several houses and it is quite a public place. Deponent reached home before dark and remained there until next day. Deponent was not at all well. After reaching home deponent sent for his family physician, who remained with him for some time. Deponent was not present at the killing of 0. T. Culbreath, and was in no manner con nected with the killing, and was not a party to- any combination or conspir acy to kill or injure him. W. T. TALBERT. Sworn to before F. H. Wardlaw, T.J., Edgefield County, October 29, 1885. The other affidavits read give only some additional details. The material statements are the same in all. JUDGE HUDSON'S DECISION. After a careful consideration of the papers submitted in the case, Judge Hudson has granted bail to ten of the prisoners in the sum of two thousand dollars. The others alleged to be con nected with the affair will have to wait in jail until their cases are passed upon by the grand jury. A DAY OF THANKSGIVING. The President Makes the Usual Call upon the People to Render up Their Praises. The President has issued a procla mation setting apart Thursday, the 26th inst., as a day of thanksgiving and prayer. The following is the text of the proclamation: BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA-A PRoCLAMATION. The American people have always abundant cause to be thankful to Al mighty God, whose watchful care and guiding hand have been nianifested in every stage -of -their natural life guarding and protecting them in time of safety, leading them in the hour of darkness and of danger. It is fitting and proper that a nation thus favored shotrid on onei day in every year, for that purpose especially appointed, pub licly acknowledge the goodness of God and return thbanks to Him for all His gracious gifts. Therefore, 1, Grover Cleveland, President of the United States of America, do hereby desig nated and set apart Thursday, the twenty-sixth day of November, in stant, as a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, and do invoke the observ ance of the same by all the people of the land. On that day let all secular business be suspended and let the people assem ble in their usual places of worship, and with prayer and songs of praise devoutly testify their gratitude to the I Giver of every good and perfect gift I for all that He has done for us in thei year that has passed ; for our preserva- I tion as a united nation and for our deliverance from the shock and danger of political convulsion; for the bless-1 ings of peace and for our safety and < quiet while wars and rumors of wars have agitated and afflicted other nations I of the earth; for our security against < the scourge of pestilence, which in < other lands has claimed its deaths by thousands and filled the streets 'with1 mourners; for the plenteous crops < which reward the labor of the bus-: bandman and increase our nation's wealth; and for that contentment 4 throughout our borders which follows1 in the taain of prosperity and abgn- 1 dance. And let.there also be on the 4 day set apart a reunion of families sanctified and chastened by tender memories and associations, and let the social intercourse of friends with pleas- I ant reminiscences renew the ties of 1 affection and strenghten the bonds of] kindly feeling. And let us by no means forget, while we give thanks and enjoy the comforts which have crowned our lives, that truly grateful hearts are inclined to1 deedis of charity, and that the kind and1 thougthtful remembrance of the poor will double the pleasure of our condi tion and render our praise and thanks giving more acceptable in the sight of the Lord.

Corn that Produces Flour Like Wheat. Mr. W. J. Arrants has brought to he Coluni 'ja corresponident of the Xee and Courier samules of four grades of white flour, the finest being ieical in appearance and feeling with the b w.t wheat flour, and the :'ar'Lt bein g finler than thle urdilnary :orn mteail. 1hTh*is flour he saw ground [romtn Cr in J. L. I)oinici:k's mill at Peaik's St at ioi, Lexiigion couity. The mill i- sltpplicd withi the Ordilarv burr-stontes. The ' orn from which it was mat.tde was raised by a farmer living a few mniles from Pcak's. Year before last lie bought a pint of it in the W ie and this year raised twenty five bushels. Mr. Arraits says that he ate biscuits and bread made from the flour and that it resembled that made from the flour and that it rescmbled that, made from wheat flour, except that it was a trifle sweeter. le showed the flour to dealers in Columbia, who took it for the best patent roller process wheat flour. The corn is said to re semble pop-corn somewhat, is entirely free from flint and bears from four to seven ears to the stalk. The signifi cauce of the thing seems to be in the apparent fact that flonr equal or equiv alent to wheat flour can be made from a grain much more productive in our State than wheat can be. The corres pondent does not know the name of the corn or the grower, but sends the News and Courier small samples at the Columbia office for the delectation of Columbians who may be anxiovs to see them. Supplying Clean Cotton Land With Hunus in Advance of Heavy Manuring. I have several acres of .ordinary land I wish to prepare for heavy application of manure. The land is now in cot ton in one of the Hawkins varieties. In making heavy applications of man ure we must have humas; please ad vise me how best to get it on lane that has been in cotton. I wish to plant the land in cotton again. What do you think of this plan: Say, as soon as I am through picking cotton, com mence hauling pine straw and op earth of the pine field, scattering broadcast a good supply, plowing this in, and letting remain until spring and plow up and rebed? The heavy application of straw would keep the drenching rains from washing land so much. With skill and judgment I don't see why four bales of cotton can't grow on one acre of land, though it is doubted by many. Often do we find stalks of cotton through our fields containing from 100 to 150 matured bolls. Good culture, high manuring and the study of agri culture will unveil many things now unknown to farmers.- Subscriber, Putnam Co., Ga. ANSWER.- Hauling leaves, etc., on the land is a most effective method of supplying humus. The only objection to it is its cost. Where everythinz is onvenient, it might pav- very well, but it is doubtful if its good effects would be realized to any great extent Lhe first year, unless the leaves were partially rotted; especially is this true )f stiff soils. Fresh fallen leaves, whether of pine or oak, but especially >ak, rot quite slowly. A better plan .o secure full effect at once, would be :o compost the leaves with lime or ishes, in pens convenient to the land n time to get them rotted, and then ipply broadcast. To keep land from Nadhing and leaching through the winter, sow downt in rye, early in September, and plow the green rye in v'ith the leaves in the spring, say about he middle of March, or some three or 'our weeks before it wvill be necessary o bed the land. There is no doubt hat four bales of cotton can be raised :o the acre; it has been done, but as mn average crop, embracing bad as weil as good seasons, it is probably nore than could be realized. Two >ales per acre is not an unreasonable >ossibility as an average crop.--South |xtensive Farming--Young Farmer W. 0. Wadley. The tendency for the past few years las been to small rather than large 'arms. The many details of manage nent; the multiplied avenues of ex >ense; the inefficiency of labor; the ~reat extent of land to be gone over, ~nd the general scattered condition of hings, all conspire to make farming, in a large scale, a failure. Young 'rmer, W. 0. Wadley, of Boling >roke, in this State, is, however, one >f the rare exceptions, making spleu lid success upon the extensive system. Mr. Wadley has in cultivation about ifteen hundred acres of land. The :rop is cultivated by renters, croppers Lnd hands for wages. The renters run 'ur mules and pay, as rent, one-third >f the grain and one-fourth of the cot on they raise. The croppers run wenty-one mules, receiving one-half >f everything they make, after paying br one-half of the fertilizers. The rages hands are graded from eight to en dollars per month and run fifteen nules. The croppers and renters cul .ivate from twenty to forty-five acres >e mule, and the .vages hands twenty ive acres. The entire farm is under he management and control of Mr. Wadley and his efficient superintend mt. Everything moves by signals, hat all hands alike must obey. Sat irday is not a holiday ; and if a r'etu ~r's mule is found in the barn without he consent of Mr. Wadlev or his ~uperintendent, the party leaving him here is charged seventy-five cents a iay for mule feed. Every minute of lost time is deduct rd and every minute of labor is scru ,ulously paid for. All kinds of im proved implements are used, and par ies using tool are held responsible for hem. The cultivation of the crops on his farm has been thorough and judi ~ions; and Mi'. W adley's neighbors ay they have never seeni a better crop 'or so large an area. Manyv acres of ~orn are estimatedl to yield lifty to loes not give his attention to the culti ration of his fields to the neglect of :he other matters of' the farm. I~is >aru is in keeping with his advanced ivstemf ot' culture. It is large, well renilated, and commodious ; with litl'erent compartments for all kinds of tock and conv''~eitlyV airranged for ;avintg all the droppings from the ani nals. Mr. Wadl1ev makes verr much >f his manure at home, and in this ,ay greatly retduces expenses. The poultry on this farm are by no neanis a small part of its interest. and .he home dairy, although run by native :ows, furnishes an abundance of rich nilk and excellent butteir. Making his iving at home and not cutivating cot on to b~uy his provisions, this excel eat "young farmer" has dlemonstrated hat farming dloes pay, and that it will iring all ample reward when conduct d ont strict business principles, under he direcntion of'good jndgment and the control of a man of good executive ability.-Southern Cltir'tor.

Subscriber Anderson, S. C. ANswER.-1. It is beiter to sow the land every other year in outs, than to sow it every third year. We must not only supply the land with humus, but keel) it supplied. Fresh lands abound ini humus, and yet how soon arc they deprived of it tinder our ordi nary rotations. The usual custom is, when alternating cotton and oats, to manure the cotton but not the oats. Where one is desirous of improving the land rapidly, it is better to maniure both crops, a good broadcast applica tion being given the oats, and drill manuring given the cotton. Two hun dred pounds each of ,c'd phosphate and cotton seed meal might be plowed in with the oats, and two to three thousand pounds of a compost, like Furr:ais, put in the drill for cotton. After the soil is deepened and the land becomes tilled with humus and has a good supply of plant food, the above quantities of manure may be doubled to advantage. 2. To get quick returns-and I his is always desirable in farming-it is bet ter to compost leaves tlia to apply them as gathered from the woods. The latter decompose too slowly when put ill the soil. To economize the labor of hauling, the compost pens should be distributed conveniently about the field to which it is to be applied. About ten bushels of quick lime will be required to every five or six two horse wagon loads of leaves, well tramped in a body of ordinary dimen sions. The lime should be slacked with strong salt water, the slacking being done just as it is used, a layer of leaves (wetted if dry) six inches deep should be put in the pen and the fresh ly slacked limne sprinkled over it, then another similar layer of leaves with more lime, and so on till completed. Either oak or pine leaves may he tuzed, or a mixture of the two. In place of lime, unleached ashes may be ised it to be had: twelve -to fin een buluhels of ashes ini place ot the ten huhel of lime. It would be well to cut down and rebuild the heap after it has stood tour or tive weeks. Such compost should form the basis only of a manure, an addition of acid Phosphate aiid cotton ,eed to be m1.ade to it az it is abont to be applied to the soil. The quantit% of these o be added should be such mthat each acre should receive of the phiosphiate froin 200) to 40 pountlds, amd of tmeal fromi 100t to 200 pounds. Th'le quantities first meni tioned on ordinary land, the lu-t or larger quantity oin that in high condi New York and Vir;;inia. More interest was nmnifested in the elections in New York and Virginia than in any other States. In Virgfinia the Demuberats made a sweeping victo ry. Specials from 111 counties out of 113 give Lee a majority over his oppo nerit of 15,812. it is possible that fuill returns from all precincts will piroba bly swell Lee's majority to near 20, 000. The Senate aund House will he overwhelmin,<ly Democratic. The ire. sult in New York was a welcome sur prise to the Democrats of the country, as the factions in Newv York were quarrelling amtong themselves aiid it was thought that they would kill each other. The Erening Post gives 111ll a majority over Davenport of about 15,000. Tammany elects a shierifi and other prominent local ofiers. The Repuiblicans will bave a majority in both the Senate and House. Mahone Naturally Kicks. In renly to an inquiry from the Mayor of Lancaster, Ohio, and other Northe-a friends, General 3Mahonie sent the follo'vih g telegram: "I am grateful for thle conicern felt in our struggle for llepublicant prinei ples, honest methods, human righits and American unity.
