Horrible RauTE.-Chicf Radcliffe rccci, cd
n despatch from Ncwbcrry yesterday, requesting
him to look cut for n mulatto by the nasse of
Wingfed Robertson, who was charged with
having committed hideous crime in that county
on n girl seven years of age. In ono hour after
the Chief received the notice, Policeman Con-
nell had the fellow in custody. lie will be for
warded to Newberry OH Monday Columbia
Register.
That is the same fellow who was so prominent
just heiorc the election, in stirring up strife be-
tween the races in this section. lie then went
by the name Of Scott Robertson, but he was
known in Charlotte as Winfield Robertson. and,
we think left that city in a hurry, to get out of
the way Of the officers of the law. who were af
ter him for some crime lie committed there
While here it was reported that he had commit
ted an outrage upon girl in Newhcrry.
The thief, Jerry iallcy, and this fellow Rob-
crtson, are fair specimens of the most ardent
supporters Of Chamberlain.

EsE- a Grecnvillc negro, who had been SEN

That's one reason why Chamberlain intends to
hold on.

they find the law to compel men between the

cannot find such n law, except II Special Act for

STRAW FOR THE FIELDs.-If [
could have my entire farm covered
with boards lying fiat upon the
ground the whole year, says a cor.
respondent, | would expect more
benefit than from twenty five loads
of barn yard manure to the acre.
Now so far as the straw goes it has a
similar effect. l believe the very
best use of straw, except as litter for
the stables or barnyards, is to spread
1t on the fields. | put straw on my
wheat last season with manifest in-
provement to the clover, but in that
l was disappointed. l noticed small
spots where the straw had been in
punches, the clover was out, having
been smothered apparently. I took
up boards from space about twenty
feet square, after they had laid two
years, and planted potatoes, the sur
rounding ground being also planted.
Where the boards had laid | had
three times as many bushels as on q
like plot adjoining.
