THE BEST GOVERNMENT, &o.-A gen.
tleman told us few days ago that when
his income WAS So 600 per annum. hie
taxes were but so; now when he makes
nothing, he has TO pay annually $500 in
taxes. That man who does not own
this to be 1.-THE beat Government the
world ever aaw"-for taxes-must be IN
unrepentant rebel or an irreclaimable
fool.

heartily commend this enterprise Of the
"Columbia Water Power Company,

DAT CAAEF FOK FEED.-A year or two ago
We were, Oy accident. led to iced some oat
chat To u few head ui milking COWS, and were
agrecabiy surprised to find that they came up
considerably in their milk. The chaf was
discontinued Tor day or two, when the cows
fell of to their former quantity but on feed.
ing the chaif again, the flow again increased.
Since then the value OF oat cnaif as a milk
producer has been satisfactorily proved by Us.
This would then make it advisable when oats
are threshed the chaff should be saved for
feed 1t may be fed in the place of cut hay,
with tic usual wetting, sailing, and mixing OF

hay is as scarce rs IN the present, not only the

SEED CoKN.-No one will deny that great
care should he observed in selecting seed corn
to plant. and yet numbers of farmers never see
their seed corn until it is carried to the field
at planting time. We think the best plan Is
TO place barrel in corner d.; the crib, and
throw IN every large and vi!,o. 'us ear. Shell
off about two inches of the &c ends, in or
der to get the largest and mos, Hrolitic grains
This produces Il large and hcal'hy plant, that
grows much faster than small o.. do. Many
farmers may think 1t u tedious job to select
every ear of corn planted in this way but they
will not find it SO after giving it trial, and
selecting as much as possible on rainy days.
This plan once adopted, will ever be adhered
to afterwards. Try it--you will not regret it.,
but find it remunerative,

Care Of Horses.
A writer on the horse saws:

A writer on the horse saws:
All horses must be fed in the same proper
ton, without regard to their ages, their con-
stitutions and their work, because the impro-
prlety OF such practice is selfevident. Yet
1t IS constantly done, and is the basis OF dis
eesas of every kind
Never use bad hay on account offs cheap
ness, because there Is not proper nourishment
in it.
Damaged corn is exceedingly injurious, be-
cause it brings on Inflammation OF the bowels
and SKIN diseases.
Chat is better for old horses than hay, be-
cause they can chew and digest it better.
Mix chat with corn or beans, and do not
give the latter alone, because it makes the
horse chew his feed more and digest it better
Hay or grass alone Will not support horse
under hard work, because there is not
sufficient nutritive body il either.
When Il horse Is worked hard its food
should chiefly be oats; If not worked hard it's
food should chiefly be hay because oats sup
ply more nourshncnt and eshmaking mate
rial than any other kind OF food nav not so
much.
For saddle or coach horse halt a peck of
sound oats and eighteen pounds OF good hay
are sufficient. If the hay is not good, add a
quarter OF peck more oats. horse which
works harder may have rather more of each.
and horse that works little should have less
Rack feeding is wasteful. The better plan
is to feed with chopped hay, from a manager,
because the food Is not then thrown about,
and is more easily chewed and dgested
Sprinkle the hay with water that has salt
dissolved in it, because 1t is pleasing to the
animals taste, and more easily digested. A
teaspooniu OF salt in bucket of water is
sufficient
Oats should be bruised foi n old horse. but

The Land and immigration Scheme.

A popular arrangement for investing in the
proposed Land and immigration Scheme, set
on foot by Messrs. Butler, Chadwick, Gary &
Co., is to organize clubs for the purchase of
tickets. For instance, club is organized, en-
bracing ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, or any
number of individuals, each contributing an
equal amount. The sum total is then invested
in tickets, and each member of the club signs
an agreement that whatever is drawn by any one
or more of said tickets is to be equally divided
between the individuals composing the club
1t will be observed that by this combination of
mutual interests, in the case of club of ten
persons, five dollars will purchase an equal
share in ten tickets, thus securing ten chances
of drawing prize. we understand that sew
eral clubs are organizing in this vicinity. Any
further information concerning the club sys-
TEN, or in reference to the general scheme, can
be obtained on application to Maj. B. T. Whit
ner, the authorized agent for Anderson county.

OUTLAwRY IN NORTH C.,RoLINA.-A fear
full butchcry was perpetrated in Robson coun-
ty, n. c., on the 10th inst, by Henry Berry
Lowry and his band of negro outlaws. A
Shcritf"s posse, having i'll charge Lowrys wife
and several other prisoners who had been aid
ing and abetting the negroes, was am5uscaded
near Bugs store on the Wilmington, Charlotte
and Rutherford Railroad, where Lowry's gang
attacked them. Of tho sherif's posse, three
were killed and three wounded. The fight re-
solved itself into regular battle, which lasted
for some time. The sheriff's posse followed the
negroes into the recesses of swamp. 1t is not
certain that any OF the outlaws were killed.
Two days after this occurrence, one of the ne
groes named Pop Oxendine was captured and
lodged in the Wilmington JAIL and notwith-
standing the terrible murders and crimes to,
which he has been party, no attempt was
made to do him violence, although the excite.
mcnt in that region was intense
On last Monday, 18th inst, Lowry and his
band waylaid and killed Daniel M. Mclean, q
prominent citizen of Robson county, and his
brother, Hugh Mclean, youth of thirteen
years. They also wounded Archibald McCol-
lum. These parties were riding along the pub
lie road, and were fired upon from a thicket.

Badly Eriahtened.

On Monday last, during the prevalence of e
thunder storm, an old colored man named King
was discovered near the railroad, upon the
plantation of DR.. o. r. Broyles, jr., lying pros
trate upon the ground. The DIR. ordered some
colored people 10 ascertain Whist was the mat
ter with him, and although they proceeded in
that direction, afterwards returned to the house
without executing the command. DIR. Broyles
then went to his relief, and applied restoratives'
which brought the old man to semi-eonscious-
ness Upon being asked, King said that some
one had shot at him, and that powder burnt
his back. The truth is, he had received a
severe shock from lightning, and concluded
that the Ku Klux were after himI

History of the South Carolina College

We are pleased to observe that DIR. M. La
Borde has concluded to publish second edi-
tion of the "History of the South Carolina
College," Many of our readers, and especially
graduates of this institution, will remember
that the first edition brought the history down
to the close of the year 1857. The edition now
proposed will embrace the whole period of its
existence, commencing with the original act of
incorporation in December, 1901, and conclnd-
ing with the act establishing the University of
South Carolina in December, 1865.
An increased interest will be impaired to this
second edition, not only from the fact that it
will constitute complete history of the Col
lege, but by the further consideration that it
will contain several new sketches and addl-
tions to the sketches of those Presidents aud
Professors who have died since the appearance
of the work in 1857. Among the new sketches
we may mention those of Judge Longstreet,
Rev. Robert w. Barnwell, and Prof Venable,
of the University of Virginia.
The volume will be cmbellished by portraits
of the various Presidents of the College. 1t
will contain about five hundred pages, and will
be furnished to single subscribers at $500 per
copy. Subscriptions not otherwise made can
be forwarded to the author, Prot. N. LaBOrde,

Roller Con9position.

The Union Tmses makes enquiry Of printers
and publishers as to the efficacy andutiity Of the
patent composition for rollers. Our cotempo-
rary concludes that it will not answer for hot
weather. The experience in this Office is sim
liar to that of the Times, and for several weeks
past we have abandoned its use and resorted to
glue and molasses. But it is our conviction
that Francis & Loutrelle's composition will
prove satisfactory upon power-prcss, where
the roller is kept IN constant motion, and that
one great reason for its failure with the hand
press is the inability to obtain unceasing mo-
ton, by which the ink is kept continuously
distributed. Any cessation makes the ink
gather upon the roller, and causes streaks
across the paper.
