E. KEELS, Treasurer Sumter County. First class Dirt Boads. Hon. David W. Lewis, long the faith ful and efficient Secretary of the State Agricultural Society of Georgia, was a progressive and patriotic citizen. At the session of the society in Gainesville in 1878 a handsome gold headed cane was presented him by the society as a slight testimonial and interpretation of their idea of his services as a faithful public servant. Id responding to the presentation speech, Mr. Lewis reviewed the history of the society and agricul tural progress. In the course of bis eloquent remarks, Mr. Lewis said : "Georgia, if you will give her half a chance, will populate herself. All she wants is a fair chance. Why does she not populate herself? I will tell you. I think 1 have found the reason. Be cause the young men, as soon as they come to man's estate, look to the West. The graves of their forefathers are nothing. The scenes of their childhood are nothing. Here is the question that you ought to raise excitement about ; here is the cause of your retrogression ; it is the want of first-class dirt roads. Railroads are not the thing. The great want of the couotry is a firstclass dirt road graded and cnlverted with stone from every court bouse to the railroad, and from every coort house to the next court house in Georgia, You will double the price of property along these roads and keep your young men at borne, if you will make these roads you will have population a plenty. What Georgia needs is a progressive, homogeneous population, just such a population as we have now, increased in numbers, and having a common origin and education. "How many good things come of these good roads ! You would have churches and school houses along them. Get op on excitement on roads! Geor gia is falling behind North Carolina, and she is proverbial for being a slow State. She has taken her convicts and is working them on the highways of the State. 0, that Georgia bad her 900 or 1,000 convicts and was working them on the roads of the State. Get up an excitement on roads and you will double your population in ten years."?South ern Cultivator. ?<? ? a? Bermuda Grass. One of the most remarkable grasses known to man is the Bermuda grass, common throughout the Southern States. Once thoroughly "set" it forms such a compact mass of roots that the washing of river banks and levees on which it is planted for their protection is effectually prevented It haa many a time saved hundreds of valuable plantations from disastrous overflow. It will grow oti almost any soil rich or poor, sandy loam or clay, and any where that its roots are dropped and coveted they will take hold and rapidly spread, and in a short time, comparatively speaking, if taken care of aud given sunlight, will make the finest meadow on earth. It will grow iu the shade to some extent, but not so luxuriously as in the open mea dow. If not pastured?and no meadow grass should be until after the hay is taken oft'for the last time in the fall, and not then (and indeed never) in wet weather?it will yield remarkable result in superb hay. If desired for pasture only it makes the most valu able green feed known to science, containing more fatting and strength ening elements than any green grass ever discovered It possesses an other valuable property, unknown to many people familiar with it. Its closely matted roots grow so dense and near the surface that the largest proportion of them decay into vege table mold during the winter and early spring months, furnishing its own fertilizer io old worn out lands ; and yet there are enough roots left to send this remarkable plant out into the early spring sunlight before other grass roots are warmed into life And still another remarkable fact? this grass does not exhaust the soil by taking its elements to sustain growth. It draws its sustenance from the air?taking iu the (to animal life) poisonous nitrogen and convert ing it into food suitable for all the beasts of the field. Instead of ex hausting the soil, it takes that which the soil needs from nature's great atmospheric storehouse, and with it enriches the most barren soils of our hills or valleys, be they composed of pooreKl clay or richest sandy loam. Engaged in cotton planting we fear our people have never appreciated this wonderful forage plant, which we predict will iu the not distant future prove the greatest boon ever known to the Southern farmers Driven out of the cotton bushiest*, after a despe rate struggle of a quarter of a century, our Southern farmers have discovered that the longer they bow allegiance to King Cotton the poorer they become. They must and will change their tactics. The limit has been reached when the merchants of the country are compelled in self-protection to decline advances on cotton as they are doing this year. Tin Southern farm er cannot do better, \\\ the face of the present situation thr*n to begin, if even in a small way, to get a little fine live stock around him. This can be easily cared for by starting a few acres of Bermuda grass pasture. As tie stock increases let him increase the pasture, and then set some of it apart for a hay meadow. Once started in this Hue his future is assured. Bermuda grass, a fine cow or two, a brood mare ! or two, some blooded sheep and a lit tle attention will lay the foundation of prosperity and in fact if pursued long enough will bring any small farmer a competency if not a fortune in this favored climate ?Southern Cultivator. Cotton and Peas. On my way to the Sta?e Agricul tural Convention in February, 1891, I met, saja Mr. Charles H. Moore, in the Sylvania (6a.) Telephone, a Jefferson county farmer who told me several of his neighbors had been planting cot ton in one row and peas in one row for several years and with their usual yield of cotton per acre and large crops of peas. Their plan was to double the manure on the rows for cotton or put the manure of two rows in one, and the last week in June plant the rows with out manure in peas. They plant their cotton in three and one-half feet rows makiog tbem seven feet apart. Last Spring I measured off two acres poor land, a blackjack growth before cleared, marked off une acre in seven feet rows and the other acre in four feet rows and divided one wagon load of com posted cotton seed aad phosphate (about 150 pounds phosphate to the acre) put one-half on the wide rows and balance on four feet rows, makiog nearly double the manure on each of the former rows. Cotton came up third week in April. The last week in Juoe planted the Un known pea. Got about one-half stand, llesuli: Did not pick any of the cotton till late, First picked on wide rows with peas 513 pounds, on narrow rows with out peas 516 pounds. On las'i pick' ing; wide rows 180 pounds, narrow rows 78 pounds, makiog 27 pounds in favor of wide rows. Gathered the peas which made a yield to the acre of eleven buehelB forty-two pounds. Now say plant a one horse erop, thirtyfive acres ail in cotton and peas and with a like result yoo will double the cotton crop and make peas enough to feed the horse, ooe milch cow and fatten bacon sufficient to feed the family required to cultivate tho erop. The land planted was subject to rust cotton. On wide rows very little rost, on narrow rows rust was genera).? Southern Cultivator. The Largest Cattle Banch in the United States. The largest ranch in the United States, and probably in the world, owned by one person is in Texas, and belongs to Mrs. Richard King. It lies forty five miles south of Corpus Christi. The ladies who come to call on Mrs. King drive from the front gate, over as good a road as any in Central Park, for ten miles before they arrive at her front door, and the butcher and baker and iceman, if such existed, would hare to drive thirty miles from the back gate before they reached her kitchen. Thiu ranch is bounded by the Corpus Christi Bay for forty miles, and by barb-wire for three hundred miles more. It covers 700,000 acres in extent, and 100,000 head of cattle and 3000 broodmares wander over its different pastures. This property is under the ruling of Robert J. Kleburg, Mrs. King's son-in-law, and he has under him a superintendent, or, as the Mexicans call one v\ ho holds that office, a major domo, which is an unusual position for a major domo, as this major-domo has the charge of 300 cowboys and 1200 ponies reserved for their use. The "Widow's" ranch, as the people abont call it, is as carefully organized and moves on as conservative business principles as a bank. The cowboys do not ride over its range with both legs at right angles to the saddle and shooting joyfully into the air with both guns at once. Neither do they offer the casual visitor a bucking pony to ride, and then roll around on the prairie with glee when he is shot up into the air and comes down on his collar bone; they are more likely to offer him as fine a Kentucky thorough bred as ever wore a blue ribbon around the Madison Square Garden; and neither do they shoot at his feet to see if he can dance. In this way the Eastern man is constantly finding his dearest illusions abruptly dis pelled. It is also trying when tbe cow boys stand up and take off their som breros when one is leaving their camp There are cowboys and cowboys, and I am speaking now of those 1 saw on the Kmg ranch. The thing that the wise man from the East cannot at tirst understand is how the 100,000 herd of cattle wan dering at large over the range are ever collected together, lie sees a dozen or more steers here, a bunch of horses there and a single steer or two a mde off, and even as he looks at them they disappear in the brush, and as far as his chance of rinding them again would be, they might as well stand forty miles away at the other end of the ranch. But this is a very simple problem to the ranch man. Mr. Kleburg, for instance, receives an order from a firm in Chicago call ing for 1000 head of cattle. The breed of cattle the firm wants is grazing in a comer of the range fenced in by barb-wire, and marked pale blue for convenience on a beautiful map blocked out ;in colors, like a patch work quilt, which hangs in Mr. Kle berg's office. When the order is received, he sends a Mexican on a pony to tell the men near that partic ular pale blue pasture to round up 1000 head of cattle, and at the same time directs his superintendent to send in a few days as many cowboys to that pasture as are needed to "hold"' 1000 head of cattle on the way to the railroad station. The boys on the pasture, which we will suppose is ten miles square, will take ten of their number and five extra ponies apiece, which one man leads, and from one to another of which they shift their sad dles as men do in polo, and go directly to the water-tanks in the ten square miles of land. A cow will not often wander more than two and a half miles from water, and so, with the water tank, which on the King ranch may be either a well with a windmill or a dammed canon full of rain-water, as a rendezvous, the finding of the cattle is comparatively easy, and ten men cau round up 1000 head in a day or two. When they have them all to gether, the cowboys who are to drive them to the station have arrived, and take them off. At the station the ageut of the Chicago firm and the agent of the King ranch ride through tbe herd to gether, and if they disagree as to the fitness of any one or more of the cattle, an outsider is called in, and his decision is final. The cat tle are then driven on to the cars, and Mr. Kleberg's responsibility is at an end. In the spring there is a general rounding np, aud thousands and thousands of steers are brought in from the different pastures, and those for which contracts have been made during the winter are shipped off to tbe markets, and the calves are branded.?Richard Harding Davis, in Harper's Weekly. Prohibition. The firebrand of prohibition has been thrown into tbe camp of Carolina poli tics. People will become to temperate in the discussion of temperance. We may ex pect a campaign of strife, division, crim ination and recrimination. If prohihition and temperance meant tbe same thing honest men would not hesitate to stand under the banner of prohibition. Prohibition however is an attempt to compel total abstinence by sumptuary laws. This attempt has proved a failure in nineteen other states. It is the rain bow dream of moral revolutionists.? Bamberg Herald. Saved by his Thumb. Colonel Jacob Ruppert, son of the wealthy brewer, and a member of Gov ernor Flower's staff, received a three months' leave of absence last March and straightway went to Europe in search of pleasure, profit and possible adventures. The steamship City of New York has just brought the Colonel safely tc these shores, and tbe story he tells shows he got what he went abroad for. "Adventure I" he exclaimed yester day afternoon to a party of friends. "Well, I should say so ? If you peo ple knew how near I came to languish ing iu prison, instead of being here to day, you would be afraid to go abroad. "Do you know what saved me? Money ? No, sir 1 Passport, papers, friends ? Not a bit of it ! Tbe thing that saved me from having tbe hand cuffs snapped on was nothing else than tbre broad, healthy looking thumb of mine," the Colocel went on with his experience. AH this happened just as I was ready to come home. I had got through Paris aud London all right, had done Scotland, and was on board tbe tender at Queenstown, waiting to be taken off to tbe steamer." At this point, the Colonel said, three men approached and charged him with being a thief and forger. A MOID EXAMINATION. A square jawed chap, heavily built, tapped him on Che shoulder and asked to see bis ticket. The Colonel supposed be was an officer of tbe steamer ami showed it to him. Tbe man looked sharply at the Colonel and then said ;? "Follow me down into tbe cabin. I am a police officer. Don't attempt any resistance or make any noise." Colonel Ruppert beckoned to his friend, Joseph Halk, of the Brokers' Consolidated Exchange, and tbe party started down stairs. There were five persons?Colonel Ruppert, his friend, and the three officers. Wheo they reached tbe cabin the squared jawed man put Colonel Ruppert through a cross-examination, asking who he was, when and why be left New York, where he bad been, what baggage he had, &c, to all of which the Colonel promptly replied, though his answers called forth an exchange of meaning glances between the officers. Finally the Colonel became annoyed and demanded what was meant by the questions. "Only this. You'll have to come with us," waa tbe reply. "He's the man, Clark; you'd better take him." This from the square jawed man to one of bis associates. "I protested that it was an outrage and produced my passport, my formal leave of absence signed by Governor Flower and a dozen letters of introduc tion," said Colonel Ruppert. " 'They don't prove anything/ sneered the officer. * How do we know you didD*t steal them from Colonel Jacob Ruppert? I wouldn't waste any time, Clark. 1 would take him.'" clabk's clever ids a. Meanwhile Clark, who turned out to be a Scotland Yard detective, bad not said a word, but bad been carefully studying Ruppert'8 appearance. ' Let me see your right hand," he paid suddenly to the Colonel. The latter showed him hie right hand, which tbe officer studied as a scientist would a new specimen. He put in a good five minutes over the operation. Presently Clark drew the first officer aside and shook his head as be whis pered to him. Colonel Rcppert over beard him say he didn't believe he was tbe man wanted on accouot of his thumb. Tbe square jawed man, how ever, would not be convinced and at last Clark returned and said:? "We have made a mistake. Colonel Ruppert, and I am sorry for the incon venience we have caused you. It is tbe most remarkable case of mistaken identity I ever came across. Your thumb is tbe only thing that sa?ed you." But who did they take you for?" asked one of tbe party of Colonel Rup pert. "That's what I asked tbe detective," was the reply, "and he told me they had been certain I was a man wanted for theft and forgery. He had left New York, it seems, about the time I did, robbed a fellow passenger named Wal ter?, I think, of a letter of credit for ??500, drew money on it by forging Walters' name and finally, strange to say, travel ed over the same ground I did betweeu London and Queens town. strong resemblance "But the strangest part of the affair is," continued the Colouel/'tbattbe fug itive's description suited me exactly ? heavily built, five feet eight, dark com plexion, mustache?everything exactly the same except perhaps the eyes"?? "And the thumb!" interrupted some one. How about the thumb?" "Well, you see tbe man had cut his thumb while shaving tbe day before he left London and the detective knew it. Consequently wihen he found no mark on my thumb he was forced to tbe con clusion in spite of the resemblance that I could not be the man. I call that pretty clever. If my thumb bad been scratched they would have taken me back to London."?New York Her ald. Charleston, Sninter and Nartlieni R R CHAS. E. KIM BALL, Rscwvbr.
