A Fine Yield,
Mr. J. W. Farr, one of our good
fanners, informs us that be made about
80 bushels of com on 2? acres of land
and that without using a pound of commercial
fertilizer. How long will it be
before our farmers realize the fact that
the proper method of farming ip to protect
their land from washing and thus
hold the top soil. By doing this and
usins home made manure the land can
soon be brought back to the state of productiveness
that it will not be nepessary
to use commercial fertilizers to produce
their crops.
JOHN FLOYD FOUND GUILTY.
The trial of John Floyd for the murder
of Joe Vaughan consumed nearlev two
days. Intense interest was manifested
and the court house was jammed. It
was a complicated family affair. The
evidence was multitudinous apd some of
it of a very sensational nature. There
were five attorneys for the defense,
while Solicitor Sease and V. E. DePass
represented the State. The oaae went
to the jury at 10 o'clock last night and
at 10 45 returned with a verdict of manslaughter.
Col. O. L. Schumpert, for
the defense, gave immediate notice for
a motion for a new trial. We will continue
the evidence in our next week's
jssde for the bentflL of those who did
not hear the Floyd case. The Going
case comes up this (Friday) morning at
0 o'clock, v. ~

of cheerfulness. He is a fine
conversationalist and is soon surrounded
by a crowd upon his arrival, ready and
anxious to listen to his interesting conveniAtinn

He told us of many interesting experiments
under his observation along the
line of diversifying of crops in this
blessed Piedmond section. He says he

Piedmont region, he is siucere, as he believes
It the most productive, when intelgently

stepped up and wrenched the poker
out of Will's hand. John Floyd called
to father and told him to come out
there, a bald headed , he
wouid kill him. Father started home
when John shot him, saying G
d you if that won't do you I will
put another shell in and give you
another load. I went for Dr. Chambers.
When I returned father was
dead. Father fell when bhot and said
to mother, "I am shot." Father was
walkiDg towards hom6 when he was
shot. He, father, had the pan handle
he had taken out of William's hand.
He was using it as a walking stick.
Mother was walking with father. I
and my brother were walkine behind
them. John Floy a was down the
road. Mother coUed William and
told him to come out there. William
nor hie wife never came out. Father's
body was moved to our house. There
are two paths leading to the public
road, one turns up the other down.
John Floyd was near the mouth of
one path, father at mouth of other
when shot and fell there.
CrosB Ex. Kemp and I were in the
house when father came, 5 or 10
minutes later. Don't remember
whether father came in the house
or not. Father called William out,
wanted to see him and asked him
how much cotton he had out. William
stood in the door and father was
in the yard when William drew the
iron on father. Father walked up
close enough to take the iron out of
Williams hand. William drew the
iron after father stepped up. William
went back to the fire place and
got the iron after they bad been talking.
Kemp and I went out of house
before William got the poker. Path
leading from William's house to the
public road goes to the right of the
garden. Turn to the left after reaching
the road to go to father's house.
Father and William were talking
load and mother came and asked
father to come home with her, she
was scared. Could not tell what
father said while talking loud when
mother came. We were going in the
direction of John Floyd while going
to the public road. Floyd was in the
road down towards his house. John
was 25 feet from father. Will did
not shove father out of the door.
Don't think father was cursing. He
did not have a pistol that night.
Don't think there is any path going
to left of garden leading to the road.
I was not between father and Floyd
when father got shot.
Re-direct. Floor one step from
the the ground at Williams house.
Kemp vaughan?Joe Yaughan's son.
Was at his brother William's bouse with
Claude when bis father was killed. John
Floyd called to Joe Yaughan saying:
"Come out here you G Bald
headed I'll blow you brains
out." Stayed with father 5 minutes
alter he was shot, then got a horse and
went over to Uncle Tom Garner's. Corroborates
Claude's evidenoe.
Cross Ex. Went there with Claude
on a visit Went there once or twice a
week. Claude, I, Wiil and his wife
only ones In the room. Father called
Will to the door. Father asked haw
much cotton Will had out, Will said
about a bale. I came out into the
yard with Claude. Don't know what
they were quarrelling about. Fatuer
wrung the poker from Will's hands and
kept it. He had the poker when he was
shot. He had the poker in his hand as
a walking stick. I saw both father and
John when John shot. Mother was on
left side of father. Whole family went
down on a visit, only one path from
William's house to the road runs around
right of gaiden.
Mrs. Eliza Vaughan?Widow of deceased
Joe Vaughan, has nine children;
all but one at home with me. Husband
came home with Mr. Nance about dark.
, My husband eat supper with us. All of
us went down to William's soon after
eating supper. I Went down to
William's about ten minutes after Joe
bad gone. I went because I wan ted to

oe was talking to William about his
wife telling tales on him?Joe. They
were disputing. She corroboiated the
evidence of her son in regard to the poker
and as to the scooting. After Joe was
shot I sat down in the road and took
Joe's head in my lap. Here she was overcome
with grief and wept. Joe lived
about 15 minutes after he was shot. He
never said a word to John in reply to his
words. Joe died in my arms, in front
cf Williams' house where he was shot
down. John Jones, colored, was the
first one to come to us. My husband had
on light pants and black jacket, but no
coat, he had no weapons >n his person,
except the j>oker that he bad taken from
his son William at the door. He had
not owned a pistol in fifteen years, and
had no gun, I called William but he nor
his wife did not come to us at all, William
never come to see his father uutii he
was sent for the next day for the inquest.
Cross examined by kfr. Schunjpert;
Yes, I knew where Claud and Kemp
were going when they left our house
that night, and knew where Joe was
going, I went beause I wanted to go, 1

ed to, I did not go purposely to get Joe
to return home, I did want him to come
home, because I did not want to stay
there by myself and the children. I
heard Joe and William talking before 1
went down there. I told Joe to lets go
back as there w is no use in staying there
any longer, I su* Will's wife sitting in
the house when t got there, neither t or
Joe went into the house. We left for
home in a few minutes after I got there,
be took the poker along with him. He
was mad of course about Will marrying
Maggie Floyd. Will is the only child I
have that is married ard I would rather
see him dead. I do not know whether
Joe was mad at John Floyd or not f or
making the match between Will and
Maggie. Joe was shot on the curve of
the with turning out to the big road.
Mr Bennett came up and helped to take
Joe's body to our house. The body was
not disturbed until it waa moved to toe
