Among the many warm supporters of
Austin during the university campaign,
there is none to whom our people should
he more deeply obliged than to Mr.. L. N.
Cooper, of Crockett, Houston county.
Unsolicited and unpaid, Mr.. Cooper, a
talented young attorney, graduate of
Cornell university, being moved solely
by broad patriotism, and by the merits
of Austin over all other candidates, took
the stump throughout his county and
workedm most zealously for Austin for the
main university. The result is that
Austin got 4 handsome majority in
Crockett, and will carry Houston county.

HONORED AND BLESSED

When a board OF eminent physicians
and chemists announced the discovery
that by combining some well known val
liable remedies the most wonderful medi-
cine was produced, which would cure
such a wide range of diseases that most
all other remedies could be. dispensed
with, many were skeptical but proof OF
its merits by actual trial has dispelled all
doubt, and to-day the discoveries of that
great medicine, Hop Bitters, are honored
and blessed by all as benefactors.

Editor Statesman
In your editorial comments upon the
proposition to locate the veteran certifi-
Gates, you take it for granted that they
are to be located in Greer county.
While this county has been spoken of
in connection with the plan. you will not
find in any publication made by me any
mention ofGreer county. MIR. Swenson's
eablegram says: al consent to proposal
in main. Details to be arranged" When
these details come to be arranged 1t may
be found more advantageous to locate on
other vacant lands belonging to the state.

Feed,nr Drixinr ,,nrses-

Many a fine driving horse has been
ruined by injudieious FEEDING. and it is
safe to say that nearly half of the broken
down or disabled horses, aside from in
iuries arising from mechanical causes are
made so through the want of knowledge
or care of their owners in regard to food
and feeding.
Many horses are injured in colthood
by feeding too literally on hot, violent
food, which destroys or impairs the mus
cles, bones and tissues, making them soft
and spongy, and incapable of bearing the
strain which is put upon them in after
life. Corn should never be fed to colts
or driving horses, unless in merely ocea-
siOnal feeds to break up monOt-
ony and to help regulate the system, for
such food is only fit for the hard, Slow
working horses which are seldom
driven out of a walk. For rapid,
quick work, such as pleasure and
driving horses, the feed should be princi-
pally of clean bright oats, and but little
hay. There is far too much hay fed to all
kinds of horse stock, especially to driving
horses for it causes broken wind, heaVes,
and numerous other disorders which de-
stroy the value of an otherwise desirable
animal. A horse which Is kept con-
tinually on the road should have very
little hay, and that only at night
feed. after the animal is put up
for the night. The morning and noon
feed should be OF grain alOne-nO hay
and the night feed. at the regular feed
ing time, should be the usual feed of
grain. just before closing the stable for
the night, fill the racks with hay, which
should be clean, bright timothy only, and
give hay ut no other time. Feeding driv-
ing horses on hay will cause sluggishness
and discomfort, even when it does not
produce more undesirable results.
Never, when going on an unusually
long journey, give your horses a double
feed, as is too often done, but reserve the
extra feed until the work is done, when
1t will do the most good and not have an
opportunity of working an injury. A
horse may be watered along the journey,
even when he is warm, provided he is
driven Immediately after he drinks,
otherwise do not water (merely spOnging
out his mouth,) until he has been well
rubbed down and has cooled of. Never
stint your horse for water when driving.
especially long distances, and you will
find he will keep up his spirits and pace
much better THAI when thirsty and over
heated .-EI.

Al Impoftant Case ArgseA in tAe ss-
ureme Court Of Errors Tuesday.

NORWICH, Conn.,, Oct. 1s. The case OF
winthrop De Walt, receiver, against the A.
W. Sprague Manufacturing Co.. was arg
ued in the Supreme Court of Errors sodsy.
The complaint ID for the foreclosure OF Juoe-
ment of lien upon the Judgment rendered oy
the New London Superior Court At the June
term If 1880 for 500, $685. The petition
to foreclosure was brought to September
term of the New London County Superior
Court for 1880, claiming foreclosure OF lien
and possession of property and $l,OOO,Ooo Is
damages. The case was continued until the
June term of 1881. When the parties were
at issue upon the demurrer to the complaint,
the court at the request of the parties reserved
the question of Law for the consideration OF
the Supreme Court Of Errors. The
principal question concerning the
original complaint applied to the validity
of the trust deed and the assign
ment of the Baltic property of the A. & W.
Sprague Manufacturing Company to
Zachary Chaffee, and embraces forty
three paragraphs of brief. The case was
opened by the counsel for the defence, who
made an argument of considerable length,
demurring the complaint as multifaricious,
as a misjoinder of the parties and decep-
tive, and claiming the deed and assignment
fraudulent and void. The counsel for the
plaintiff argued that it was within the provi-
dence of the court to pass upon the validity
of the trusteeship and assignment that the
trust deed of November lst, 1873. is special
assignment to consider whether the deed is
void and to the mulifariousness of the case.
The case is not vet finished.
