SAM JONES.

Sam Jones lectured last Wednesday night on
Chow to Get There and Stay There" His au-
dience was an object lesson showing how to get
there, and the reluctance with which they
heard him bring his hour and quarter talk
to close proved that he has learned how to
keep a crowd when be has them before him.
When Mr. Jones came on the stage he was
accompanied by Rev Dr. Edmuuds, Rev T.
G. Herhert and Mr.. R. 0. Purdy. Dr..
Edmunds offered brief prayer, and Mr.
Jones was then introduced by Mr.. Purdy,
who said that be could not introduce the
speaker IA ssof Georgia" tecause he now
telonged to the country at large, and there
was not now place so remote in all the
country where Sam Sones is unknown.
The speaker took hold of the audience from
the start in his characteristic way, and there
was not n moment when the interest tagged
To outline or describe his lecture is inn
possible. To hear it was to he interested,
amused and made 10 think seriously. The
humor and slang merely filled iu the spaces
between the chunks Of facts shat came one
after another from his lips. Society, politics,
the greed for money, the whiskey evil, lying,
cowardice, physical and moral cowardice,
bgotry, and laziness were handled with
gloves off. He told many serious truths con-
cerning the condition OF the country in
his bumorously exaggerated style, and these
truths will stick long in the memory of his
hearers mainly by virtue of the favor and
snap that is decidedly Jonesque. Many who
heard him last night for the first time were
surprised that they heard no more slang, and
that that heard was so unohjectionable. Sam
Jones made an impression decidedly favorably

Justice Wells for violation Of Dispensary
Law, having contraband whskey in bis pos

A runaway mule, attached to wagon, on
Liberty Street, Thursday afternoon, caused
little excitement. The animal was stopped
at the corner of Main and Liberty Streets,
and 10 damage was done. The same stub
born mule vas brought back to where be ran
from, and had the cheek to run away again
but was caught oHce more without doing
damage.
The case of Bella Lewis, colored, indicted
for rescuiug stock from j. W. Gamble, which
be had taken up for trespass, under the
Stock Law, came up before Trial Justice H.
L. B. Wells, Thursday. The evidence show
ed the taking OF the stock without permission,
and the circumstances to have been very ag-
grayatiug. She was found guilty and fined
So or fifteen days in Jail. The 6ue was paid.
This is perhaps the first case for an offense
of this kind in this section, and establishes
the precedent that persons cannot take the
law in their own hands, and that when your
property is damaged by other peoples stock,
you can secure redress through the law.

Facts About the ThOrnwell Orphanage

1t began operation twenty years ago with
half dollar in the treasury. 1t is now sup
porting over one hundred and thirty orphans,
annually, at cost of one thousand dollars
O month
The orphans are from the Presbyterian,
Methodist, Episcopal, Lutheran, Baptist and
six o!her denominations; from every South
ern State, and some Northern from every
profession and station in society.
They are educated religiously and intel
lectually by the institution and in addition
every hoy and girl is qualified by learning
some trade, to support themselves.
Their support comes from the voluntary
gifts of Gods people. Provisions and cloth
ing and money,-al such gifts make up the
sum annually needed.
Yes, help is needed Row. On the lst. day
of November, there was not one dollar in The
treasury, and none expected save from the

attack on Fort Stedmau u once.

QUICK Oh Fort Stedman at once.
$50 | returned to my quarters aud at
once issued orders 20 that effect. We
were .c get ready 10 move inside the
Federal fortified area the next night, aud
as soon as we could see in the morning
we were 10 attempt to surprise Fort
Stedman. Well, we found many diff
cu!ties in our way when the time came.
There were the abbatis that we had to
cut through with our nxmen, who went
ahead Of the command to do this work.
They succeeded in cutting an opening
into the area, and through this we
marched in the darkness as rapidly as
possible A good deal of delay occurred
as day was breaking, and part of the
command became bewildered as to its
exact whereabouts, so much so that it
soon became apparent that We were in
danger of being cut to pieces and retreat
was inevitable. The retreat was disas-
trous. We lost two thousand men in
getting out aud We realized that Grants
position was practically imprcgnable.
Thus ended, | may say, ono of our
alternative plans for bettering our posi-
ton. AS respects the others, it was the
opinion oc Mr.. Davis that we could get
as good terms when the worst came, or,
in other words, after We had exhausted
ourselves to the uttermost. Therefore,
as you know, we finally proceeded with a
turthcr experiment in the WY Of retreat,

world is familiar, and with all the de-
tails of which nobody can ever be
familiar. II From Mc IPheeltny Iutel-
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1894-11-09

Swine raising is ono of the most im-
portart industries Of the country. It's
great value is well shown by the fact
that, during the long period of depres-
sion through which we have been pass
ing, enormous quantities of pork have
been produced and sold at profit to
the producer This fact can hardly be
asserted of any other branch of live
stock or indeed of agriculture in gen.
eral, The hog has again stood between
the farmer and luin.
The estimated value of the hog crop
Co. xSass 1891 is less than that for 1898, but
{ff1oots up the highly respectable sum of
7O,3s4,626. The industry is mainly
Western, being confined to tho great
corn growing States with Iowa at the
head both for corn and pork. This is
as it ought to be. Plenty of corn means
cheap pork production, but it does not
mean, as many are apt to imagine, an
exclusive coin diet. rhe latter is of
course tho principal food factor in sue
cessful pork growing, but even for it
there are plenty Of substitutes
In many Of the corn-growipg States
tho progressive farmers havo recently
reversed all tradition by feeding their
wheat to hogs and selling their corn.
The explanation for this change is found
in the fact that wheat is bringing less
per bushel than corn. As in addition a
bushcl of wheat contains much more
nutriment than bushol of corn, the
wisd om of the move is apparent.
While this is an anomalous condition
OF fFa;rs it shcms- .kn ;::c==S ::
the old theory that the ability to grow
PORK is dependent upon the ability to
grow corn alone A varied diet is
necessary to keep the pigs in good
health and produce the best pork. This
is particularly important with young,
growing pigs, which require nitrogen
GUS diet to build up their frames.
Wheat and clover should form, with
corn, the principal food, but other arti-
cles, such as oats, barley, rye, pumpkins
and squashcs, are highly beneficial, An
Australian pig-grower reports that he
raised fifty pigs in an inclosure where
they were fed off an early crop of bar
ley and wera then fattened on melons,
which he found a profitable food for the
purpose. He calculated that the pigs,
which were sold for a good price, cost
him less ..han II cents each for feed,
In spite of this experience, it is not
likely that melons or bananas, which
are employed in the West Indies, will
ever detbrone corn as the great fatteu-
ing food for hogs. The trouble is that
We are apt to use too much of it, par
ticularly for young animals, who cannot
assimilate such food.
1t is only mature, full-grown hogs
that are strong enough to digest ration
composed mainly of corn, and even for
them mixed ration will be found more
healthy. 1t is important that foods be
used in proper combina tion. From
lack Of knowledge in reference to this
question, many PERSONS fail in feeding
whose methods in other respects are
GOOD. FLoRENs in ". Y. World.
