A YssEuabIe Recipe 20 Farm

The American Chemist says
that a Western farmer discovered
many years ago that wood could
be made to last longer than iron
in the ground. Time and weather,
he eays, seem TO have no effect on
it. The post can be prepared for
less than two cents piece. This
is the recipe: Take boiled Enseed
oil and stir in it pulverized char
coal TO the consistency of paint.
Put coat of this over the tim Der,
and, he adds. that there Is not q
man who will live to see ii rot.

SOUTH CAROLINA juries cannot all
at once be brought to look with disfa-
vor upon .uelling, Cash, the duellst
who shot Shannon down in cold blood,
has just been declared not guilty, by a
jury, after the jldge had strongly charg-
cd that the shooting was a deliberate
murder made with malice aforethought
and expressed. Cash took offence at
shannon and was determined to kill
him-having declared his Intention to
do SO and for that purpose he forced his
antagonist, who was averse to fighting,
into rhe field and shot him dead. Just ss
he intended to do. He h2s been twice
tried for the murdcT. The first time the
jury failed 10 agree, but the second time
1t acquitted him and turned the red
handed bully and ruffian loose upon the
community, The laws of South Caro-
lima are against the cOde-duello, but the
result of the Cash trial would indicate
that the law is q useless article there, and
every man makes his own laws. The
verdict in the Cash trial l.. notice upop
the people that they can assassinate
with impunity if they feel like it. All
that is needed is to cover their crimes
