CAPTURE OF y MUHDERER.-On the
morning of November 3, 1884. this COM
munity was shocked when intelligence
reached here that George Hanes, color
ed, had brutally murdered Calvin Red
din and Della Cutler. It will be re-
membered that Hanes went to the
house of Della Cutler, and in an alter
cation shot Reddin standing in the
door and also mortally wounded Della
Cutler. The woman died in a. few
hours and Reddin fingered until the
next day, when he also died. Hanes
remained at the scene of the tragedy
for an hour or two and then made his
escape. All these persons were in the
employment of Mr.. j. K. Hart, and the
killing took place on Mr. Hart's tur-
pentine farm, about five miles from
this place. Every effort was made to
find some trace Of Hanes, and Sheriff
Salley used all diligence to- effect his
capture, but nothing could be ascer-
tained of his whereabouts, and it was
supposed that Hane5 had left the State.
A short while since Governor Thomp-
son offered a reward of $3.50 for the
capture Of Hanes and his delivery to
the sheriff of Orangeburg. 1t seems
now that Hanes had never left the
State, and remained, at least for the
greater part of the time, not far from
the scene. of the homicide. He was
captured last Friday evening almost
nightfall-two and a half miles from
Leesville, in Lexington;C County. Hanes
has the reputation of being one of the
best turpentine hands in the State, and
since his escape, or, at least, recently,
has been employed by W. S. Cooke upon
his turpentine farm near Leesville. It
seems that Mr.. S. A. Cook, a son Of Mr..
w. S. Cooke, having found out the facts
il: the case. and being aware that the
Governor had offered reward, deter
mined to secure Hanes's capture. An
opportunity was awaited, and Friday,
when Hanes went to receive his wages
from Mr.. w. S. Cooke, he was watched,
traced to his rendezvous and captured
while in the act of counting his money
by the light of matches. His captors
were Messrs. 3. A. Cooke, J. J. Shelley,
B. n. Brodie and Z. J. Eiseman. At
10 o'clock last Saturday he was deliver
sd by these gentlemen to Sheriff SalleY,
and is now safely in the county Jail.

A COLD BATH-Last Friday the
Rev. J. @. Wertz and his brother, Mr..
Noah Wertz, went to the Santee River
on a fishing expedition, and by some
mishap their boat turned over, dump
ing them both into the river. After
staying in the water some time they
were rescued by some persons in an
other boat. We are glad to know that
the only inconvenience suffered by the
gentlemen was the cold bath to which
they were subjected by the accident.

Look OUT FOR HIM.--We gather
from the Chesterfield Advertiser the
following condensed history of sue
cessful horse thief in Sumter and ad-
joining counties !: A man giving his
name as Columbus Miller spent the
night with Mr.. Mathis in the upper
part of Sumter county, some time in
February, and persuaded that gentle
man, by telling him plausible lie, to
lend him horse to go to Mr.. John O.
Durant's, where he said he had some
fox hounds which he was going after.
He went from Mathis to Young's
Bridge, in Kershaw county. where he
traded horses with a man named Hen
dirk, getting $40 boot. From Young's
Bridge he passed through White Plains,
and then turned up towards Irvington,
in Chesterfield county, where he again
traded horses with Mr.. w. M. Porter.
He next swapped horses with an un-
known party In Union county, North
Carolina, and some days later he sold
the mule which he received In the last
trade to Pinkston of Wades6oro, for
watch and $25. He said his name vas
Dunn, that he was horsetrader from
Virginia, that he had sold all the stock
which he had brought with him, but
had more at White Plains. He then
hired a horse OF Mr.. u. W. Huntly, of
Wadesboro, to ride back to White
Plains. Mr.. Huntly sending negro boy
alone on another horse to bring the
hired horse home. The thief managed
to slip off from the negro, taking both
horses, and since then nothing has been
heard of him. It is probable that his
rightful name is Columbus Miller; that
he Is native of Lancaster, which
county he left several years ago, be-
cause of his having committed some
offense against the laws Of the State.

mourners did not come back, for they

Big Granny had drank only one ror-
ton of beer yet, and restless as usual
under so light a dose, it happened tina
she opened the door of her room and
stumbled through the dark passage
way into the yard while Patsy still lay
there alone. She saw the child on the
flags asleep with his face upturned in
the rain.
Something in the still, pale features
startled the half-drunken creature and
stifed the harsh speech which trembled
on her lips. She tottered forward and
fell down by Patsy's side. She touched
the cold aud stifening hand and called
his name in a low entreating tone
Then as the truth forced its way to her
drink-besotted brain, some emotion
long dormant in her woman's heart
was stirred, and out from her misera-
bic degradation and remorse there went
up a wall so shrill and piercing and so
freighted with human agony that the
inmates of the rooms looking out upon

GROWING BETS.
Hints for Those DESTROYS of Raising
Summer and Winter Supply.

Hints for Those DESTROYS of Raising a
Summer and Winter Supply.
The beet is highly priced and cult
waited in nearly all gardens, for use
during the summer and winter. 1t is
also a vegetable that can be used in all
stages of its growth. It requires but
little skill to grow it successfully, but
in order to obtain roots of the finest
quality the growing crop should be
properly attended to. The beet should
be given rich, deep, mellow soil; one
that has been heavily MANFRED broad
cast and deeply dug or plowed the
previous season is preferable. If the
manure is to be applied in the spring
have it well pulverized, and have the
soil made fine by narrowing or raking.
We thus obtain well-formed, moderate
sized rooys, which are the most de-
sirable. The next consideration is the
sowing of the ssod, which for the early
crop should be done as early in the
spring as the ground can be properly
prepared, and in order to have a
proper succession of suitable-sized
roots a sowing should be made every
two weeks until the middle of July.
Sow in drills eighteen inches apart,
covering the seeds one inch in depth
During dry weather soak the seed in
tepid water for some twenty-forr
hours, and firm the ground well after
the seed has been soWn, in order to in
sure its quick termination. Sow at
the rate of one ounce of seed to one
hundred feet of row. The winter crop
should be sown about the end of June.
When the young plants have attained
a height of two or three inches, thin
out, leaving the plants standing from
four to six inches apart. The young
beets pulled in thinning are excellent
for spinach. After. thinning keep the
ground well cultivated and free from
weeds; towards the end of October take
up the roots, cut the leaves off about
two inches from the crowns, and store
in pits secure from frost, or place in
cool cellar, and cover with earth or
sand. Dol permit them to wilt or
they will never recover their brittle
texture. When pulling be careful not
to injure the roots as this causes bleed

A TRIED RECIPE.
How Every Farmer Can Make His Own
Supply of Cheese.

How Every Farmer Can Make His Own
Supply of Cheese
The pan containing milk must be
placed in another pan holding water,
to prevent scorching the milk. Heat
and pour it into the mass of milk in the
tub, until all reaches eighty-fve de-
grees. Add sufficient prepared rennet,
to coagulate the milk in forty-ive
minutes. When the mass readily splits
apart by pressing the finger in it, cut
into blocks with the curd knife Let it
rest for fifteen minutes Now carefully
break the curd by slowly lifting it with
the hands, fingers apart, to the surface
of the whey, and when well broken,
let it rest fifteen minutes. Now dip off
. portion of the whey into pan1 on the
Stove, and continue breaking the curds
until the size of chestnuts, and con-
tinue pouring in the warm whey, until
the mass reaches ninety-eight degrees.
Let it rest for half an hour, when it
must be stirred slowly until the curds
show a firm consistency. Press some
together in the hand, and when re-
leased, if it readily falls to pieces, it is
ready for drailIng. Throw a cloth
strainer over the tub, and dip off the
whey down to the curd; then put the
strainer on willow clothes-basket and
dip the curd into it to drain. Break
up the curds with the hands, and when
pretty dry, salt at the rate of four
ounces of salt to ten pounds of curd;
mix it thoroughly and put to press.
After the cheese has been four hours in
the press. turn and press again, leaving
it in over night, when it may be re-
moved to the shelf Rub with butter,
and turn daily until ripe. Small
cheeses need no bandage and little
pressure. Anerfcaas Agricaltarist

that, as the records tell us, he grew
very fond of the girl Queen, and, with

father, when he himself had succeeded
to the Yellow Throne, as Emperor SUI
preme, he recalled the Queen Woo
from her retir ement in the HISTORIAN
mission-house at Tung Chow and made
her one of his royal wives. And when
in the year 683, Kaou-tsung died, she
boldly assumed the direction of the
Government, and, ascending the throne,
declared herself Woo How Tsih-tien-

Her reign was one of the longest and

in history as the Golden Age of China.
Because of the native prejudice against
woman, Chinese historians have en-.
