.Atrocious Murder.

y On Saturday last, two inoffcnsiye4 colored
mon, conservative III their politics, tlcamcs to
Oranssburg With wagon, from the lower part
of st. Matthews, sold their cotton, and started
on their rotufn home that evening, with the
proceeds, partly invested in supplies in their
wagon. Arrived near -Four. Holes Bridge,
they campcds ncar the road side, and after
building large fire, went to sleep. In tho
night one of them. Stephen Ladsden, wss
awakened by the report Of a gun, and sharp
shock, and saw some one making off through
the bushes. lie went to his companion, Frank
Thompson, and found that he had beon shot
in the head, and was dead. Stephen also was
wounded in tho arm. 1900 st5gtl,s ef
q No clue has been discovered to the perpe-
traitors OF this barbarous crime. It is supposed
that the party, or parties who committed the
deed, having killed but one of their intended
victims, fled upon seeing the other rise up,
(Which he did, shouting as he rosc) in order
10 escape dctectr q.
An Inquest was held on the body of Frank
Thompson by J. H. Feldor Esquire, Acting
Coroner, and the jury after a session of two
days, retured as their verdict: "That Frank
Thompson came to his death by o gun-shot
wound, received in the left temple by the
hands of a person or persons unknown to the
Jurors"
On Monday last, at the meeting of the Cen
trail Democratic Club, the following Preamble
and Resolutions where adopted:
Whereas, On Saturday night last, an out
rageous murder was committed near Four
Holes Bridge in this District, by some person
or persons unknown, upon an aged and in
offensive member Of the Community; and
sedcreas, not only as Democrats, but also as
citizens, we unhestatingly condemn such acts,
be the motive whatever it may ,cAereas, o
jury of Inquest is now engaged in the investi-
CATION of the matter, whose verdict has not
yet transpired, but we consider this an occa-
sion when it is proper for us to express the
sense OF the Democrats OF Orangeburg Dis
trict in regard to such crimes.
Rcsolccd, That the Democrats Of Orange
burg District fully endorse the Address of tho
Democratic State Central Executive Commit
tee, IN relation to recent acts Of lawlessnes and
violence ia several parts Of our State.
Hcsok~d, That the Proclamation of the
Executive Department upon the same subject
was untair in its statements, aud did gross in.
justice to the white people of this State.
Resoiccd, Ihut the letter subsequently, writ
ten by Governor Scott, is hailed by us as an
evidence 3ofa better disposition ON the part of
the Executive, aad wo sincerely trust that 1T
may have the effcctsof aiding the efforts Of all
good citizens to preserve peace and order. ia
our various communities. w

though that kind which Is used for tho
heads of drums is said to bc made Of goat
skins. Vcllum is finer. smoother. white
kind Of parchment, made Of the skins Of
young calves. The mode Of preparation
iss-Fint to take off the hair or wool, then
TO steep the rkin IN lime, and afterwards
to stretch It very firmly on wooden frame
When thus fixed, il is scraped with blunt
iron tool, wetted, and scrubbed with chalk
and pumice stone; and these scrapings
and rubbings nre repeated several times, on
each side Of the skin, till Il is fit for use.
Parchment was employed in very ancient
tunes and il Is curious that, from ntou, the
seventh to the tenth century. II was bcati-
f'I, white and good but that in later times
very inferior, diry.looking parchment
came into Use. which has tho appearances
Of bcing much older than the former. The
reason for this is supposed to bo that the
wri en IN these latter centuries used to
prepare their own parchment; while at mn
earlier dn,s, il was a curious art, only pos
sessed by tho manufacturers. Parchment
was sometimes so rare and scarce tha,

Comparative Value Of Various kinds Of
Food for Stock.
We find the following table. giving the
comparative value of various kinds of fod.
der and food used for feeding farm stock,
and although il may no, be absolutely cor.
rect for every condition, yet it Is convenient
for an approximate comparison. As will
be seen hundred pounds Of herdsgrass
hay is taken tor the basc, and the other ar
ticles compared with it, and they cun also
he compared with each other. Thus hun.
ired pounds Of hay is equal to l64 pounds
"a, straw, or 81 pounds Of Indian meal, or
303 pounds ruta hagas. and by the same
reasoning that amount Of rta bagas nre
equal to 81 pounds Indian meal, or the IG4
pounds of oat straw, or tho 100 pounds Of
hey, and so on. Farmers can thus estimate
the amount of these articles necessary for
feeding certain stock, aud also the compar-
