Outrages of the Militia at Pulaski.
A special dispatch to the Nashville
Banner, dated Pulaski, March l6 h,
says: Two men, dressed in blue uniforms,
and supposed to be militiamen, went to
the house of an old man by the name OF
Daniel Alternately, last night, knocked
at the door and were admitted. When
they got inside they demanded Of the
old man his money. Upon his refusing
10 give it up, they tied a bride rein
about his neck, threatening to hang
him, and dragged him across the floor.
A young lady in the house had all OF
Mr.. Abernathy's money about her per.
SOD. He told her to give it up to the
rufians. She declined for awhile. They
then threatened tt lock her up in another
room, and take 1t from her by force. She
gave them about twenty dollars and they
left. Efforts are being made to detect
them.
A squad OF militia also went to the
house Of Mr.. Marks, about seven miles
from town, last night, and tried to gain
admission, but were driven of by some
young men.

An Agricultural Club.

In a communication from Farmer" in
this weeks issue, and to which we call par
ticular attention, the question is asked, why
We of this District have taken no steps to-
wards the formation of an Agricultural Club?
and an appeal made to US TO present the
idea and stir up the minds Of the people to
a matter of so great Importance. Why
such an association does not exist, or rather
why il has not been taken hold of by the
planters of this district, as has been done
ia other districts, is matter of surprise to
rs, with the numerous examples which are
presented. The importance of such clubs
cannot be doubted; they are vital ne
ccsaity, and we cannot but believe that now
the idea is presented, by one of themselves,
in so practical and plain manner, that our
farmers will see the necessity, and at once
act upon it. The most hourishing and
wealthy district in the up-country, and one
which stands so high in commercial credit
abroad, surely need not be ashamed, or
rather should not be so far behind the age
in this respect. We commend Farmers
o,inions to consideration, lie covers the
ground fully, and it needs that We say no
more as to the good which must result from
a move of this kind. We respectfully sug-
gest then. that some Of our prominent plant
crs meet and determine a day on which a
public meeting be called, and notify US Of
the fact, that due notice may be given

LOCAL ITEMS.

TIE WEATHEE.-The fine spring-lkc
weather of the past few weeks was most
rudcly broken on Saturday last, when it
began to turn cold. Sunday was quite
cold and windy, and altogether just such
a day as one cares not to experience
after such delightful spell as that of
the weeks previous. On Monday morn
ing there was very heavy frost: which
did no little damage. Some fear that the
little fruit which escaped frost before
Easter is now killed, but We incline to 4
different opinion, owing to the extreme
drvness. The crop will be lamentably
short however. Garden vegetation in
low ard exposed situations suffered to
some extent, while in other places little
or nc damage was done.
In regard to Mondays frost the local
feels agg,icvcd that the town oracle-in
weather affairs-lcd him astray, or rather
that by his miscalculation he was caught
mapping. Friend Solomon, the oracle,
in the most positive terms said there
would be frost on the tenth, but not on
the fifth as happened lie 'hadn't
orghter said so," and in practice Of his
own familiar teaching should have been
"more particular" Gracious goodness
old fellcr, just consider the mischief you
may do, and for the sake of the broken
constitution and violated laws, be "more
PARTICULAR in future. AS to the predict
ed frost of the tenth, it may be we'll to
look out for it.

feasible. We were no less surprised
9 than pleased at seeing, during the past
: week, at the store of Messrs. Moorman
& Co, specimens of Sugars made at
Greenyille, S. c., from the Sorghum
Cane. These Sugars are beautiful, and
compare favorably in color, brightness
and sweetness. to the best refined ever
made, and it is asserted that they can be
made at much less rate than the prices
ruling for the imported article. The
Syrup also is of delicious f,vor. Lit
tie was it thought or known few years
ago, of Sorghum then, SO I'M
portant an rtic!e in agricultural economy
that the system Of manufacture would
ever be brought to its present perfect
condition, and yet it is so. The Louis
vile Sorgo Company have brought about
50 happy result, and today it is con-
fesscd that as good, and cheaper Sugar
and Syrup, can be worked cut of the
Sorghum, as the best imported. We
know not how long the CreenVi!lc mill
has been in operation, but the proof is,
that it is an accomplished fact. And if
Greenville can carry out such feature,
Why cannot Newberry We believe
that it can and will be done. Mr.. W. P.
Passmore, who represents the Louisville
Company, and who Is making this State
his base of operations, visited us during
the past week. His object is to sell the
right for these mills. Those Interested

Mr.. EDITOR I'm reading todays Herald,
saw a paragraph from the Phoenix, max
ing call upon the planters of Richland
District, to meet in Columbia next Monday,
to form an Agricultural Club, in response
20 a call from similar Club in Abbevile.
have for some time been looking for call
from this District, but as yet have seen
none, (I did not get two Of the Heralds
within the las: month, and perhaps it may
have been in one or the other OF these).
Why is it Mr.. Editor, we arc behind in ag-
riculture No District in the State can
have bought more, if as much Guano, as
our own has done. None will plant more
Cotton to the hand, and is it too much to
say none will buy as much corn next fall?
ANY one that will take ride through the
District must come to this conclusion. In
all my acquaintance, only know of FIVE
men who are planting corn to do them,
and of rot more than that many who have
not bought Guano. If each one then feels
an interest in his own planting interest why
not take an interest in the general welfare
of theaDistrict? Let US have some organi-
zation, By which we can have the expert
ence of old and good planters in the man
asement of the crop, for more depends upon
that than upon the Guano. Every one in
the District goes to the village once or
twice mouth, and We might arrange our
business so that we may meet at the same
time, and gather the experience Of others;
learn what will be the probable yield of
cotton and corn, as we'll as small grain;
know how much corn will be required in
the District and send an agent North and
buy the amount in bulk, thereby getting it
at frat cost. If the price Of the staple is
low in the fall, as there is every probability
it will be, arrange it so that those who will
have to obtain money may do so on good
terms by cotton as collateral. There is
every need for such a Club in Newberry
District. No one has taken hold of it, for
the reason that every body's business is
no body's business. Now Mr.. Editor, you
being the representative of the District, do
make an urgent call for the farmers, and
all others who are interested in their cause,
to meet in Newberry at some time within
the next month, and form al Agricultural
Club too much importance cannot be at
tached to this matter. II the farmer don't
take care of himself, who will do it for him.

WHAT DOES he WANT W1TH IT?-We
aludc to Laurence Marshall's need Of a
large amount Of money, as advertised f1r
elsewhere. lie says he is not broke, and
we believe him, but its puzzle to know
what he wants with much money. It's but
filthy lucre at best, and We are certain of
one thing, and that is that he does not de-
sire to lay it up. Perhaps he wants to build
the telegraph, or start news paper, or
fence in the female seminary, or establish a
honSe Of reform for vicious boys, or open
large gift concern, or put his money into
flannel shirts for naked heathens, or start d
June apple orchard, or something else.
Any how, we'll not puzzle Our brain about
the matter. He wants a pile Of it and will
sell cheap to get it. Let him have it.
Is HIS NEW BUILDING We notice with
pleasure, that our esteemed friend Major
Mriehan is now in the use ofhis fine, large
ard elegant store, just completed, on Main
street, and in close proximity to his old
place of business. As Shoe dealer, Maj.

stock bo;h of Shoes and Hats, is very heavy
and complete. Parties visiting the city Of
Columbia, will do we'll TO call on him, or
orders can be sent which will be pro nptly
attended 10.
Many u bout have we had with the Major,
in the good "old daze," and while We re-
member him in connection with those past
pleasures, We wish him large success in the
future.
W. T. TArRANT, in a very attractive
card, calls attention to his we'll selected stock

not do any harm. Look in at No. S.

SALE-DAY.-The streets were crowd

SALE-DAY.-Thes streets were crowd
ed on Monday. The following sales were
made by the Sheriff: One small house
and lot, one.ffth of an acre, $S05; one
small house, containing one eighth ofan
acre, 5000; and one good dwelling house,
with about onc-half acre, 1921. These
were the most important sales.
AS was said, a large number Of persons
were in town, many ofthcm being attracted
by the posters of Prot. ---, the horse
trainer, who promised free circus, the
performance to commence at half.past one
o'clock At the hour specified, the canvass
tent was erected, and the people focked
in, without money and without price. The
Professor made his appearance some hour
later, in consequence Of "a small chat" as
he te rmed it, at the hotel. Whether this
delay was designed to create a fever Of ex-
pectaton or not, can't be said anyhow,
his appearance was hailed with great enthu-
siasm. The Professor and a colored boy,
with pair of new shoes in his hand, drew
into the ring IA double buggy; the Proes-
sor then opened box, and took thcrefrom
a set of bells, threw them into the buggy,
cracked his whip, sprangin in after the bells,
took off a handsome white felt hat, smoothed
his hair, stroked his luxurlant whiskers,
smiled, looked round to see if there were
any ladies present, and then proceeded to
deliver 4 lecture, from the text know
tlyself, and then the horse will know thee,
and then in a graceful and eloquent strain,
altogether peculiar to himself, and which
lasted a very considerable time, discoursed
discursively.
For two hours, or less. the text was not
alluded to, that time being pleasantly oc-
cupied with short history OF his eventtul
career, interSpersed with numerous anec-
dotes OF men and things, together with the
sayings of few old women in Kentucky.
In the most convincing manner, the Pro-
fcssor showed tt at there are great many
humbugs, and that he was not the chief.
This point was largely dwelt upon. Alto
gether, the lecture was .ell worth the
money, and for ourself, we would have
been equally as we'll satisfied with it, had
it been shorter. Then followed the per-
formance of trained pony, but not before
the buggy was pushed out; this was good,
that is the pony's exhibition, not the bug
gy, for the negro nearly run it over Mr..
Smiths toes, but Mr.. Smith sprang back
and escaped. The Professor then proceed
ed to form class, about which time we left,
not being able to remain any longer. We
regretted this very much. We understand
large class was formed, and that those
who received tile lessons on horseology, are
perfectly satisfied We are.

ONE NEGRO KILLS ANOTHER BECAUSE
he WorLD NOT GO TO CHURcH.-The
Macon Telegraph gives the particulars of
an atrocious murder that vas committed
on Sunday last in Crawford County. TIA.
a negro man named Green Hunnlcutt
shut and killed another negro named Ned
Jones, merely because he (Ned) refused
10 go to church. Green had threatened
to do as much if Ned was not more strict
in bis attendance at church, and, accord
ing to the testimony taken at the Coro'
ner's inquest, it is presumed that he com
mitted the murder because Ned did not
heed his P1oUs instructions. Green is
still at large, and the negroes in the
neighborhood swear that they will burn
him if they catch him.
