4 Pound and q HuH q Day.

We called tho attention of South
Carolina farmers two weeks ago to the
record of one or two of their number
in York county who had succeeded in
raising "meat" Mt tho rate of pound
day, rs they had just killed hogs 8
months old that weighed, net, 27O
pounds each.
Oconeo has beaten York. Our cor.
respondent Mt Seneca reports that Mr..
John @. Bcldcn, of the lower side OF
the county" killed not long ago two
pigs 7 months old, one of which net
ten 2s5 pounds and the other 4OG
poundsr Tho lait"r, Il is seen, repre-
scnted growth of ono and hall
pounds per day, or so per cent more
than its rivals OF York.
Whether the upper side of Oconcc
county could do better than the lower
side we do not know, but the lower
side has done enough to prove that
any farmer in South Carolina who
does not raise his own hogs, and make
his own hams and snusagcs and lard,
etc, and have plenty to sell besides,
is poor farmer and has no valid cx.
cusc for his failure.
The Oconee pigs were "raiscd and
fattcned on sweet potatoes and but.
termilk alone" and wero fed on corn
during the last two or three weeks o.
their career. Sweet potatoes and but
termilk can be produced by the car
load on even n one-horse farm in this
State. The man who owns or runs
fifty or hundred or thousand-acre
farm anywhere between our blue
mountains and our blue sea, and haul.
his meat from the nearest town to his
smoke house, deserves about as much
credit for his management as if he
hauled water from the nearest creel
to keep his spring going. Charleston

An IDEAL M0THER.
Tho FfrstLady in the Land and Nor "Jeweis.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Mrs. Cleveland
is an ideal mother. 1t is true that the
"Roses of France" have faded from
her checks since her lovely form and
face first dawncd on the city's aston
ished vision, bat in their place come a
matronly shape, mothers tender dig
nifty and wife's high resolve. No wo-
man looks at her, especially if she is
privileged to see her with her babies,
without warming to intense loyalty.
Ruth was not to my thinking, II beau
tiful child, but one of unusual nttrac-
tions md exceedingly winning. When
l saw her in the spring, just after euc
mad begun to go alone, 1 had bunch
of violcts in my hands. She wanted
them, and l gave them to her. She
took them to II remote part of the room,
spread out her dress, laid violet after
violet upon it, looked at them while
then laid them daintily into the tin foil
and brought them back. never saw
So young IL child 80 concentrate her Mt
tention. The last thing heard of her
she was "doin down into the tichcn to
sec the tittcns," in which expedition
she cmulated Young America, North
and South. Esther, the later born, is
an cxquisitcly lovely child, or was
when she was . months old. l have
not seen her lately. The President
will have it that she is not as pretty ns
Ruth, but nobody agrees with him.
"First come, first served" we cry.
The wife of one of our Republican
Senators was 80 charmed with the child
that her husband grew quite impatient
Of her rcitcrations. One day he en-
countcrcd the wicker carriage and
raised the curtain. A few moments
after ~ interrupted his wifc's lunch
by the hearty exclamation, "By jovc!
you wero right about that baby" Mrs.
Cleveland is sometimes equal to her
occasions. She wanted tho pnotU-
graphs of her children and she got
them without informing yogra-
pher. No children wei ever moro
sacredly guarded from the public eye
than hers.

CHAINGANGS UHcOHSTITUTI0HAL.
A New Ruling on the Law BY South Caro-
Hna's Supreme Court.

CoLuMpIA, S. C.-Chaingangs are
unconstitutional in this state. So says
the supreme court in decision. The
case comes from Charleston, where a
prisoner WAS put on the chaingang for
thirty days. An appeal was taken on
the ground that the punishment was
not legal except upon conviction by n
jury of twelve and that sentence to
work in the chaingnng is void in law
The supreme court holds that jury
under twelve is constitutional, but
that the sentence towork on the chain
gang lis null and void on the GROUND
that this additional imposition to "inc
or imprisonment" exceeds the limit
prescribed by the constitution. Justice
Pope concurs concerning jury trial
and dissents as to chaingang work,
holding that the word imprisonment
should include employment during
Imprisonment.

GREENvILLE, s. C.-The grand jury
in the United States Court here has
found twcnty-one indictments against
Charles r. Barrett and others for
using the mails for defrauding the
United States Government by the illegal
use of stamps.
Barrett is prominent lawyer and
politician of Spartanburg, s. @. A
majority of the accused were post
masters and several of them are saidt
have been appointed at postoffices
created for them by Barrett influence.
Inspector Poor, of the postoffice de.
partment, has been at work on the
cases since last July.
BY this conspiracy scores OF mer.
chants and manufacturers in Northern,
Western and Southern cities were dc.
frauded and tho Government was made
to pay large amounts of commissions
on fraudulent sales Of postage stamps.
The cases will be tried at Charleston,
and the Government will put up over
n hundred witnesses, including busines,
men from nearly all the large cities

to have their usual catch. The work

"The rapid increase OF crime in

delay and uncertainty of criminal
Justice. In 1889 in the United States
35G8 murders were committed. In
1890 they reached 1890, and 59OS in
1891, while for 1892 the total is G7O0;
an increase of nearly ninety per cent.
in four years. But although we had
more than 10000 murders in four
years there were only 331 legal cxccu-
tions. Judgo Lynch, however, took
hand in the matter and disposed Of
559 criminals. This lynching record
puts our lawbreakers and judges upon
notice that the people demand speedy
justice, and when they have reason to
believe that they will be disappointed
they will sometimes dispose of tho
business in their own way. With
murders increasing at the ratio of
ninety per cent. since 1889, it is evi-
dent that something must bo done to
check the rising tide of crime or
general decentralization will be the re-
suit. Tho certainty of punishment
without unnecessary delay is the best
remedy. y " criminal who is
reckless enough to court death ut the
hands of a mob shudders when he CON
templates the prospect of dying on tho

Of only few officials. These quiet,
orderly, private executions have n
better effect than public hangings or
lynchings. They inspire awe as we'll
as terror. Justice surely and speedily
administered in tho courts will stop
lynching and reduce the number of
murders. II n murderer can be con.
victcd in England and legally cxecatcd
within thirty days after the com
mission of his crime, why cannot we

Sacred Ground.

Congress has appropriated thirty
thousand dollars with which to pur-
chase and improve the Wakefield
plantation on the Potomac River in
Westmoreland county, Virginia.
Here stands the brick foundation of
an ancient, ,four-room house, and on this
spot, in the year 1882, and on day
which was then the 11th of February,
George Washington WAS born.
Washington himself abandoned this
plantation for Mount Vernon, and
seems in his life to have had no regard
for it, though here he spent his
early dnys, and here his futhor, grand
father and great-grandfathe lived.
If the cherry tree which was the sub
ject of the familiar legend about the
boy Washington and his -hntchet. ever
stood anywhere, it stood hero.
The old Washington family burial
ground is sadly neglected, and the
whole plantation is said to be nnnt-
tTac!;Te, but if the consent of the
State of Virginia is definitely obtain
ed-for the national government can
not acquire land in Virginia without
the consent of the Legislature of the
Statc,-the whole plantation of five
thousand acres will become national
park, and beautificd by landscape
architects in harmony with it's natural
characteristics, and in sympathy with
it's early history.
This purchase is noteworthy step
in the movement, of which we have
heretofore given some account, to
make public property of beautiful and
historic sites, wherever they may be.
New Jersey has obtained in the same
way the beautiful estate at Morristown,
which was onco Washington's head
quarters, and Pennsylvania has ac-
quired Valley Forge, made memorable
rs the scene of his sufferings and
hnmilintinns.
1t is pleasant to see the places with
the memory of the Father of his Coun-
try treated as sacred ground, and there
are many other spots beautiful or fam
ous for other reasons which should be
guarded by public action from dcface-
ment,
