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

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. Very little dirt will be tro"'n og
the young cotton, and even ri some :s,.n

the hill of corn, and the first lwn
wil cover it up. In this.. caen

it will run very ilat and~ throw.. on"y
moderate quantity of dirt into de weaer

injurious to corn to dirt it hea"ily wh.at

f a brother or a sister, or perhaps a
aother or son, from whom the person 1
aaking the inquiry was separated either

amihes were divided by tae auction

rou the pulpit of one of. the colored~

Yterday morning oened en the
gcene of one of the most fearful J
ragedies ever enacted in York county.
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. B3aiey Dowdle, Dan
olbenrs and Mose Lipscomb, with a num
er of suposed accessories before the
act, it being believed that a combination
or the purposes of robbery and murder 2

orhood, in Bullock's Creek township, f

the accessories or accomplices whose c
iames were divulged by the investiga- c
ion were lodged in jail, where tly now f

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. Good ti eld, and left them there. r,
ile had the boy's waist; I 1:ad his b
gs;Mose -was choking him, and Dan t
r-ried the rocAs. We all went away by s
'le pasture ield. Bailey hit him first ij
-it the rock when we first got hold of
Le boy. Dan saw the boy first. Dan tj
aid: "Boys, yonder is Lee." Bailey hit
irt, and Dan next. Mcse jumpod on c

c s the aterial pofton of 1
rdle's confession, the wounds on the o
ead body of the boy corroborating his b
tatement as to the manner of infliction, a
iter this cenfession was made and be- b
me EuOwl it being rea.onablv certain t<

an and Mose, the pent up feeing of s
1e western side of the county found y

-th procuired an order from Judge g
citernoc trm fe:-ring them for safe- f
to the jail at Columbia, and on a
ha tnight they were spirited away. 14
'rue to his expectations, about 7 o'clock n
w the f'llowing morning, a crowd of d
o utsent .-lve mounted men, uindis
n' d. p-scehed the jail, prepared tj

iemed with shot guns, and a number of c<

herir was ar~oused by toe noise aimd had c
'an up to Lhe landing~ on the third floor, n
neu panel of the wooden shuntter was f<
noked out and the crowda were moving o
the works as though they meant bus- h
sl. 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

ni onday morning when the unis- ji
okale inae' y of the father of the mur- a
erd oy rekindled the anger of all who ij
-inesed the unflorttmate man on the b
'r to the Asylum. No cautions in- to
ajrv, nowevr, could discover any t)
'd I feire~ in tace general current of 1<
tubistment. The inquisitive news- c:

avered here and ther'e to gain a clue, a

abject expressed the opinion t:tat the u
w would take its course. Late Monday s

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

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. President Arthur first made the
elights of capital society patent and
3csible to his New York friends, and
i fashion once established keeps itself
p. Until the unfortunate night when

phasized, as though giving the appli
tts particular value.-From a Wash
