The Negro as q Failure.

We publish in this days issue communica-
tion which recently appeared in the augusta
Chronicle from the pen of Mr.. Benet, on the
Negro question. We commend it to our read
.ers rs an admirable presentation of the vcxed
subject. His leading idea that the South
needs a Yeomanry, and not a peasantry has
our hearty approval.
That our readers may see what is thought OF
Mr.. Benets article we publish the following
two references. The Chronicle says Of it edi-
torially.
The communication Of w. G.. Benet, of
Abbeville, on the question: "Is the Negro a
Failure?" is one of the abest Of the articles
published in the Chronicle.
Judge Reese Of Washington, Georgia, in a
letter to the augusta Chronicle says:
ALLOW me'to say that am greatly obliged
to you and Hon. w. G. Benet for his article on
day say. "perfectly splendid" 1t is rich in
sound ideas, expressed in the choicest Ian
guage. It ought to be scattered far and wide.
amongst the thinking men of our country.

Preserving Health of Swine.
CbttO,l Plant.

Disease is more prevalent among swine than
any other class OF farm animals rs a rule.
This is brought about by. defective feeding.
the worst fault in feeding. No other food SO
we'll suits the convenience Of the swine raiser
as docs corn. 1t Is well adapted TO the produc-
ton Of fat, but for growing stock it does not
yield complete nOurishment for the body.
The physical well-being of the hog, like other
animals, demands O variety of food, and un-
less this variety is furnished, the health OF
the animal is impaired. 1t Is also necessary to
on the food is just as inimical to tho health of
swine as of other animals. When we consid-
er the quality of the drink, supplied to hogs
we have yet greater cause to wonder that the
amount Of disease is not greater Foul drink
Is Just as productive of q diseased condition OF
the body when drank by hog as when drank
by horse; and as we leurn more or the ma
stand that so far AS the health Of the animal
Is concerned we would better give foul water
to the sheep, COW or horse, foul water pro
longs the life and favorS the vigor Of the bacit.
luS, and when drank produces the germs OF
this most virulcnt Of all swine diseases direct
ly into the bodily organs. Although the hog
can endure more cold than any other OF our
farm hda yet OF al hea Il e
vOred with dry shelter. If allowed TO burrOW
in straw or manure piles IL Is sure TO get over
heated and disease Is produced: All quarters
should be kept as clean as its food or drink.
Prevention will be found to be the best medi-
cine for the hog in all cases.
The breeding of swine. like the breeding Of
all other domestic animals, has become SCI
ence and TO make 1t q success 1t must be con-
Quoted Systematically like any other business.
The careless breeder need not expect to reap
much reward for his money or labor expend-
ed in this direction. But where they are pro-
pery managed, swine come more nearly be.
Ing the everyday, always available stock OF
the farmer than any other species of domestic
animal intended for the shambles. With
most other stock he has TO wait two or three
years for full return on his investment. but
from his hogs he gathers q crop every season.
The hog is always on hand to use up almost
any respectable refuse which may be placed
before him, thus converting q great deal OF
otherwise worthless provender into ready
cash. He is the farm scavenger as we'll as the
annual replenisher of the farmers purse.
Where he IS properly bred and cared for he is
certain to bring in better dividends than bank
the amount of capital invested or labor ex-
pended In his behalf May his tribe increase.

Fatal Effects Of Alcohol.
1Gcienfiflc american,

According to DR.. Richardson, alcohol cuts
down by disease, in England and Wales alone,
1000 persons week. What, adds the Doctor,
ii any other cause of mortality did tho same
What If 1000 persons per week died, In the
same area, from the bite of the rabid dog or
the snake, by the swallowing of arsenic,
opium, or prussic acid? What If some thou,
sand persons week were known to be killed
by the secret devices of the slow poisoner,
who, under the guise of friendship, went
about and instllled into his victims some sub
tie drop which led to the shortening of their
life and 10 the production of lingering organ,
ic fatal disease? What, indeed, then would
be the cry and the action? Why, all through
the ranks of the great profession Of medicine
there would be a tumult of labor and toll,
such as never before was seen, to remove the
calamity. Men would be ambitious to be
first TO discover by experiment, by experience,
the cause of so fearful an evil. and TO remove
it Instantly; while he who won the victory
over the calamity would be eXtrolled as Illus
trious, and, crowned with honor, become
household word from among the children or
Esculapius. Yet here one single cause max
ing this deadly havoc, a cause we'll known
and easily removable, in spite of its evils and
in face of its easy removal, Is permitted to re.
main in sight with majority Of the army OF
medicine looking on In apathy, plying US
"poor foolish fanatics" who are exercising our
limited powers TO uproot it. and some, with
the rest of the world so sharing the calamity
as to become copartners in tho destruction
which follows from the participation.

The White Hall Schools.

Messrs. T. J. Hearst, James A. Bigby, and
LeRoy Lee, were in town last Monday in the
interests of a school on Hard Labor for bene-
fit of the children Of white renters in that
neigbborhood. The matter will be referred to
the State Board of Education. being, we be-
Iieve, the first appeal of the kind which has
ever gone to columbia from this county.
Messrs. DeBruhl & Bradley have charge Of the
case. Should the authorities in Columbia de.
eide to sustain the School Commissioner and
the Board of Trustees in their refusal of o
school to white renters in the same neighbor-
hood to which they have for years given a
colored school, we may in the future publish
some of the interesting papers in reference to
the same. The renters on Hard Labor have
no doubt Of the justice of their cause and have
nothing to keep from the public eye.

Wednesday, April IL, 1886.
The Trial of Bishop.

We copy from the YorkviIe Enquirer most
interesting account of the trial OF Bishop
Charged with murder in the killing OF
town marshal who had followed him up and
APPROACHED him in a threatening manner.
While Bishop was not entirely blameless,
from a careful reading of the testimony we
are of the opinion that he should have been
ACQUITTED. It seems plain to us that the town
marshal was the aggrcssor and had followed
Bishop up after having been frequently
warned not to do so, and finally when he ap-
preached him with pistol in hand he shot
him as we think he ought to have done. be-
cause Turner was marshal of the little town
of Blacks, he was not authorized to shoot
and kill whomsoever he pleased, and II the
Testimony is to be believed he certainly in
tended to kill Bishop. Before the killing, the
srravest charge against Bishop was that ne
was drinking, and had talked cloud" This
by the States own witnesses, while the de-
PENDANTS witnesses saw no mlsbehavlor
which woule warrant his arrest. Bishop
thought the Intendant had previously
wronged him, and it seems that two men,
bers of the council concurred in that belief.
The recollection of this supposed wrong, to-
gether with the whiskey which he drank in
famed his brain, and caused him to talk In
discreetly, and for this, Turner evidently
meant to humiliate him, or to exercise ter
rible power which he supposed his little Of
flee gave him. The fact is, the town council
had no authority to order or to permit the
town marshal 10 shoot anybody. The pre-
sumption is, that the town marshal is peace
officer. and not an individual to walk around
town with a pistol In hand to follow up, ag-
gravate and kritate injured citizens with a
view to killing them. Does anybody doubt
that Turner meant to kill Bishop? Cam any
body see q scintil4a of evidence 10 warrant
him in pursuing Bishop, or in arresting him
DID any human being ever before hear OF the
antendanto OF town ordering the marshal to
shoot q retreating mans horse? Did any
man ever hear of an Intendant telling mar
shal to do "his duty" in such way, and
with tuch meaning, as that sentence evil
densly had7
Whiskey was the prime cause of the whole
affair The temperance people may draw
their own conclusion from this case as to the
propricty of little towns selling whiskey to
inflame men to ipdiscretion, and then arming
men with bludgeon and pistol to shoot and
kill. If the town had not permitted the
whiskey to be sold does anybody doubt that
any of this trouble would have arisen?
It might be we'll to rescind the charter Of
all the little towns that furnish liquor and
armed marshals to promote disturbances and
authorize the brutal abuse or the killing of
unfortunate citizens who may partake of the
downs mean whiskey.

Raising Hogs Successfully.
CUtton Plant.

In the first place. hogs for successful feeding
must be strong in bone and muscle, produced
by grass with little or no corn. We never
feed green corn to hogs, because we consider
it unhealthy. and grass is just as beneficial ana
much cheaper. a full feed of corn should not
be given before it is dry enough to crib. An
other very important matter is the sleeping
apartment; in fact, it is of essential impor-
tance, Our hog house, a cheap board shed,
without floor, the highest part on the south,
with boards hung to raise and lower to MAKE
an opening for the sun to shine in. The rest
is composed of pure surface ground that soon
worked into fine dust, which will frequently
remain so all winter and need no replenlsh-
ing. Experienced stoclmcn have often rails
cd their hands in holly horror at this-na.
lures bedding. In order to preserve the bed
we'll it Is necessary that the hogs should fill
the house comfortably full. This can be ar
ranged by fencing Off part and enlarging as
the hogs fatten. The dirt should be replen-
ished every fall, and 1t Is good plan to have
some stored to ada at times during the win.

hogs.

Which Breed I?

There Is more or less of controversy as to
the comparative merits of the several breeds
of improved cattle, and looking at the matter
from their separate standpoints observers are
by no means agreed in their judgment as to
which breed is entitled to the need of superb
ority. Some Of this diversity of opinion Is
undoubtedly due to the favorable or sn,aTor tent
has pecn tried, but in the main The Gdzette Is
constructed to believe it Is due TO the fact That
the majority Of people who own cattle OF any
the breed may be, are so well satisfied with
the merits of the cattle they have that they
cannot conceive 1t possible that any other
cattle can excel them, and thoroughly they
must from the nature of things be the best
there Is. But while one man claims the Snort,
horn best for beef, another that the Hereford
is best for this purpose, and third ana lourtn
stoutly maintain preference IN this regard
for the polled breeds, and while pre-emlnence
in the dairy Is claimed for both the Jersey
and the HOlstein, and while the air reSounds
with the praise and claims OF all the 6reeas.
The Gazette ventures to ask Where Is the
for him-it is not even asserted that he is good
for ANYTHING. It is not pretended that he
places money in the bank to the credit OF any
sci to talking about What kind Of cattle Is the
best his name Is never mentioned.
What docs it all mean? Is there not some
thing significant aboutit? Evidently the ex'
perience of the world is against him, and ev-
erybody knows he is not the best but on the
contrary, If not actually worthless, as near to
it as IL is possible for any kind OF cattle to be-
1t seems strange under these circumstances
that any one can continue to cherish h. IN. II
one cannot decide which among severa! good
things is the best, why content himself with
the very worst? If one desiring to hoard
bi-metalists and mono-metalists, as to which
were the safest, gold dollar or silver one, 1t
would be very unsafe solution TO select a
dollar made of copper. But this is practical
ly what farmers do who stick TO scrubs be.
cause they cannot satisfy themselves which
one of the improved breeds is better than an
other. Why hesitate? They are all better
than scrubs. Any choice among them Will
bring an improvement and secure advantages
and profits which will never come from an
adherence to unimproved sorts.-Breeder's
