Important to Farmers.

Every farmer in South Carolina
as we'll as in any other State in the
Union. will next year be called upon
By government officials in the services
of the Census Bureau, and asked to
give the statistics of his farm, crops,
stock, etc, for the previous year,
which is the present one Of 1889. To
be prepared to answer these questions
intelligently and satisfactorily, every
farmer ought to begin now to keep
accurate accounts of ali farm opera
tions, and continue it throughout the
year. The agricultural statistics OF
this country will be gathered in this
way and the sum total of the result
will show the degree of prosperity at
tanned by every State and county. It
is therefore of the utmost Importance
to each section and locality that these
matters be correctly reported to the
census takers. If the farmers of South
Carolina desire to see their State take
deserved high rank among the pro-
ducers of farm products, they will
take care to make their very best ex-
hibit when the representative Of the
census makes his appearance some
time in 1890.

Gen. Noises Prize Corn Acre.

Gen. Noises prize corn is coming
up, and as the manner of planting IS
original 0 we will try to explain. The
tleid is in the deep rich soil of Tur-
key Creek. Gen. Noise had bitches
cut about foot deep and several feet
vide, and as many feet apart. He
has planted his corn in those bitches
and will draw the soil to the corn
Fem between tie aiteAessas it grows
up. A little later in the season be
expects to plant corn between the
bitches and he will then have solid
field OF corn. The whole has been
most thoroughly prepared and with
seasons we expect grand results from
this field. It is we'll worth e trip to
go out there and look at it. Our opin-
ion is that if farmers generally would
try to get out of the s'old ruts" and
try new methods as Gen. Noise is
doing, Though of course not always
IN the same way many of them would
be far better off and would not feel
the n need t3 () of a separate Agricultu-
raj College. The field of experiment
is after all the best college that a farm
er can attend, for there he is bound
to learn something about farming.

him. When he was overtaken he
said he had not stolen them, only
taking them to another lodging near
by. He asked that rather than be
prosecuted and sent to jail he would
submit to receiving fifty lashes with
a whip. After consultation the citi-
zens present concluded to apply
twenty-five lashes as a warning and
example to other wrong doers. Dur
ing the castigation his wife showed
great distress The report of the
punishment and the wife's trouble
reached Mrs Taylor who is wife
and mother. Her sympathy was
aroused and she sent request that
the whipping be stopped, and her
request was complied with, which
saved him from ten strokes.
Perhaps this culprit deserved this
punishment, and more. Perhaps it
may BE- the best thing which could
nave happened 10 MIN; IL may save
him from worse fate; yet it is nat
ural that wife and mother should
seek to save him from the disgrace, as
did Mrs. Taylor. Perhaps she thought
of the throb of Joy in the mothers
heart when this man child was born;
of the anxious care bestowed in his
infancy; of the prayers which had
been uttered for his prosperity and
future happiness when he first went
out into the world Perhaps she

Little Prospect for the Graded School.

Mr.. ED1ToR:-I saw in last weeks
issue of the Enterprise letter written
by "parent" on the graded school
question. As usual we find abuse in
place of argument. Why will some
people in Manning try to have their
own way, and yet, when a man speaks
out his honest convictions as you have
done in this matter, be charged with
sel6shness and HHleness. They must
Judge from their own standpoint, and,
if SO, thus expose themselves to be
charged with what they unjustly
charge against you. "Ob, consistency,
thou art jewel" Now the editor OF
the Enterprise in his reply used argu-
ment, and is entitled to be heard, but
s'Parent" has fallen short of the mark
and ought to think twice before he
speaks again. We want the graded
school, and want harmony among
our people. and if we ever get it We
will have to have "a long pul, strong
.pulL, and q puNtogethe1."
Now let US see what the 2 mill tax
will bring US. First, our share
(graded schooD Of the constitutional
2 mill tax will be about $500, poll tax
about sl20, and about 1915 from
this extra tax, 1895 in all. Now let's
see about the expense Of running a
free graded school: rent of house and
equipments $500; principal of school
$1,000; assistant 5000; second assist
ant s40O; in all s25,OO0 With 1895
to commence with this will run the
school just three months and t,ce1aty
days. What about the other six
months and ten days? If we ever get
a free graded school in Manning we
shal! have to lave special legislation
on the subject.
However, Mr.. Editor, the whole
thing falls through this year from
bad management. The law requires
the school trustees to call the tax
payers together, and this call should
be pubhsed two weeks "a days) be-
fore the first of June. Time is too
short now, and the discussion might
as We'll stop. PARENT No. 2.

Mr.. Levi Visits Rutherfordton.

Mr. Moses Levi returned last week
from visit to Rutherfosdton, n. G.,
where hethad he had been on a short visit 70
his son Meyer, who is merchandising
in that place. Mr.. Levi is delighted
with his visit, and speaks in glowing
terms of the place. He says that
while it is in appearance an old fash
ioned country town, yet the railroads
have given it an impetus and air OF
progress that has made and is making
it live town. It has two railroads,
the 2C's and the Sos, running through
the town; about seventeen or eighteen
stores; large hotel and number of
boarding houses; ETC. The people are
clever and hospitable. The country
is very fine, containing some magnif-
cent mountain scenery, and embrac-
ing some excellent farming lands. The
water is excellent, and several fine
mineral springs are copyenient to the
town. The air is COOL and bracing,
and fires were comfortable every
morning; sNs@Levi advises his friends
to tls'shis place this summer for a
Summer resort, if they wish to get
good board and get it very cheaply.
He says board can be had for 81 to
$40 month, and good board too.
Rutherfordton is near the noun
tains in Western North Carolina. It
is on the line of the aC's; and leaving
Manning at 10 o'clock in the morning,
the train arrives in Rutherfordton
that evening at S o'clock. Camden,
Lancaster, and Chester are on the
3C's railroad. Only one change of
cars is made, at the Camden crossing
on the W. C. 4 A. r. r.
We are pleased to learn that Mr..
Meyer Levi is doing well. He has
until recently been running a store in
the mountains near Rutherfordton,
but he now has general merchandise
store in the town.

Killing Negroes for their Blood.

The negroes Of this and adjoining
counties have, for several weeks past,
been in state Of abnormal fear and
trembling. They claim that there is
a white man, doctor, who at will
can make himself invisible; and who
then approaches some unsuspecting
darkey, and having rendered him, or
her as is generally the case, insensible
by throwing chloroform in her face,
be proceeds to fill up a bail bucket
with his victims heart-blood, for the
purpose of making medicine. Afte,
having drained the last drop of blood
from the victims heart, the body is
dumped into some secret place where
it is impossible for any person to
find it.
It is surprising how some Of these
ignorant black people believe such
things, but it is fact that they, the
women especially, believe it so firmly
that they will not venture out al
night, or in the day time in any Sc
questered place. They greatly fea,
to cross branch or swamp, and vii
not dare to go alone.
One old colored woman i'll speaking
on this subject recently insisted tha
she believed it. She says that she
knows the white man makes castor OF
out of negroes blood, and chat il
slavery times negro would die before
he would take a dose of castor oil.
We have not heard how many wo
men have been killed and spirited
away by this doctor, but we suppos
he is running his business on smal
scale. As soon as he gets up hi
factory, we shall, if he will permi
us, give our readers full description
of his modus operandi.
