Salt for Stock.

Salt is not only the SAVIOUR of the
earth, but Of the flesh every
known organism. 1t is constant
constituent of the blood, keeping it
limpiu and healthful, and is more uui-
versally distributed over The globe and
thruugho all organized nature Khan
perhaps any other compound. The
waters Of the deep are charged with ~;
and traces of ii may be found in The
very air we breathe. by Inference then
we may conclude that salt is an e5Sp,-
tial constituent OF all things, especially
of all things organized. The instincts
of all animals concur III this-Wild AMI
mails going long distances to prove ii.
In countries where it is not accessible,
men are willing to pay almos, any
price tor it. Nor is the relish for it an
acquired one, but AN instructive crav-
ing 10 satisfy the demands Of the ami
NAL system. Animals deprived OF
salt are hard to thrive, nor wear as
sleek coats as those having IL supply.
Ii placed where they have constant ac-
cess to it, no animal will! cat too much
of il; but if fed irregularly and at long
intervals. there is great danger Of their

an overdose be not administered In
order to avoid this, the best way is to
allow stock free access to it at all times
and the best form in which to accom-
plish the object is in the shape Of rock
salt, that the animals may lick it at
will, not overlooking the necessity Of
placing the same under shelter aud
out of the way OF rain. AS stock OF all
kinds are now upon grass, it is the
more necessary that the attention of
farmers should be called to the subject,

A large number of farmers over
feed their horses aud mules. No do
mestic animal requires close: attention
to details in feeding than the horse.
lie requires to be fed at regular inter
walls, by the cIock--the same hours
each day without variation, to attain
the best results in thrift aud health.
Comply with this rule as closely. rs
possible, and you will see its bone
fetal effects. The food given should
be selected aud proportioned according
to the age of The horse (itnmaturc or
ma'ure) and with reference To the
uses to which he is put. Ifhe is no! at
work he does not require as strong
food as when actively engaged in hard
labor. If he is young thing, not
fully grown, he requires a food ration
largely composed of Muscle ailfng
material. a horse should be fed lust
SO much as he will eat up clean with
an evident relish, and no more. All
over that amount is waste. He does
not require il, and any excess of food
beyond actual requirement, helps TO
tax and derange the digestive appa-
ratus of the animal. The stomach of
the horse is comparatively small and
he eau only digest small quantity of
food al time. For this reason it is
not we'll to feed too much bulky food
for there is too much bulk to diCes,
before the necessary amount Of nutrf.
tive matter is extracted aud made
available. -.S3uthe5m Lire ,Nock' .Y0it.-

thing seems to indicate a strong,

at the reorganization of these two
Democratic Clubs. It was truly graf
flying to know that every man was at
his post, harmoniously working for
the good of our beloved old State.

in remarkable good condition, con-
sidering the heavy rains, and very lit

Enough for EdgeseN.

Edgefeld has opened the campaigs
by putting in s claim on the Govern
or's Office for Hon. J. c. Sheppard be-
fore he IS well warm in the seat made
vacant by Gov Thompson's acceptance
OF Federal Office. It strikes us that
the action of the Edgefeld Democrats
was in rather bad taste, to say the
least Gov. Sheppard has been a
prominent figure in State politics
since 1876, and it is only reasonable
to infer Shss if he merits election next
November to the Gubernatorial office,
the people will recognize the fact
without prompting.
But Edgefeld should go slow in
this matter. She has had pretty lib
eral share of the good things of Office
since 1876. Size has one Of our two

of the battle OF Brentwood.

OF the battle OF Brightwood. At the
time of Early's raid in July, 1861, he
was in command OF Grimes Brigade.
He was accompanied by friends and
several parties interested in the mill
tary history Of the war, to whom he
pointed out the various points of in
terest on the battle field, where the
most important charges were made,
etc. This was his first visit to Wash
ington and the scene of the battle.
He says he never fully realized until
going over the ground until this late
day what a good chance he had to
capture Washington and how near
they came to doing so. He is fine
looking man and attracts good deal
of attention. In form lie is straight
and tall. He has a very attractive
face, with black vhiskers and bright
eyes. He WAS colonel of the Forty
fifth Regiment of North Carolina
troops, but at the time OF the battle,
as stated, he WAS IN command of
Grimes Brigade.
The Colonels description of the
fight at Brightwood is very interest
ing and thrilling. When he speaks
of charging over the hill, his eyes
flashing and head erect, you almost
expect him to give the rebel yell.
This fight cost Grimes Brigade one
fourth of his men and was really the
turning point in what had up to that
time been a very successful raid by
Gen. Early. Old residents of Wash
ington will remember this fight and
how the dreaded words were passed
from one to another throughout the
city: The rebels are coming .'-Phl

Miss Connolly, the slayer OF Steed-
Icy, at Hunters Chapel, in Barnwell
County, has been tried and acquitted.
From the evidence published in the
newspapers, 1t is very clear that Miss
Connolly was guilty Of murder. She
admitted the Killing giving as her on
" excuse, that she had been SANDER
ed. The jury in ignoring the evi-
dence and rendering a verdict of ac-
euital, failea to discharge their duty,
and were recreant to the sacred trust
vested in them asjurymep. The ex-
ample of the Barnwell jury in holding
that the established law of the land is
subservient to popular sentiment,
if followed, will prove deplorable
evil. The jury sitting in Judgment on
Miss Connelly's life were no doubt
honest nen, who were actuated by
the high and noble principle that the
spotless reputation of our mothers
and sisters is dearer than the price Of
human lie. In this respect their YER
dict may do the country good. Steed-
ley's life may have been a necessary
sacrifice for the protection Of the wy
tue of the women of the land.
On the evening after the announce
ment Of the verdict, Miss Connolly re-
ceived an ovation from the citizens OF
BarnWell.

The experimental stations are also
made use of by agriculturists as a
bureau of inquiry, where all manner
of questsons are asked pertaining to
practicle agriculture and which the
farmers are unable to decide for them
selves. The replies are given by let
ter, and also, in cases Of great interest,
in agricultural papers, wh:ch appear
weekly. All experimer, :ations are
occupied with the improvement in
methods applied to practical agricul-
tuGe. For instance, the experimental
station at Darnstadt has in latter
years accomplished great improve
nent IN experimenting with fertilizers
upon the increase in the yield OF farm
products, whereby new methods have
been discovered, which give far better
results than those formerly carried
out on farms. Every year there IS a
meeting of agricultural chemists to
discuss an exchange opinions on the
results OF the experiments carried out
BY various members, the proceedings
of which are published in agricultu-
