A Juvenile Outrage.


LEXINGTON, KY, March ia couple
OF precocious youths had miniature
lynching bee here last night. Mr.. John
Parrot, who lives at Forest Hill, found
his l2-year-old son dangling from the
limb of tree, swinging to a rope which
encircled bis neck. Blood was gushing
from the boys nostrils and ears and he
was in dead faint. The father cut the
rope and by applying restoratives soon
had his son In conscious state.
The boy said that two companions, one
of whom was Dan Slavin, became enraged
at him for some tr3diDg occurrence, and
seizing him procured rope, and after
fastening q moose on 1t placed 1t around
his neck. They then threw the rope over
a tree and yanked him up In real lynch
ing style. The rope was tied 10 the trunk
of the tree and the boy left hanging. Mr..
Parrot procured warrants for the boys

Corn Stalk Molasses.

WAYCRoss, GA, March ia farmer,
who lives near here, tells an interesting
story of his experiment In making corn
stalk molasses. He says: "I planted two
acres Of rich land in corn about April 1st,
last year, fertilizing 1t heavily with home
made compost twice during Its after
growth, which, of course, made large and
heavy stalks and ears, full Of sweet juice.
like the Juice from the old china or sor-
ghum cane. did not plant 1t with that
Intention, but after observing this I i'm
mediately pulled the corn ears while
green and shipped them IL barrels to
Boston, which alone doubly paid my ex-
penses Of planting, fertllizing and gather
ing. then pulled the blades of, leaving
them on the ground to be plowed under,
and hastily proceeded to cut down the
stalks, cut off the tops and haul to my
furnace. I ground the stalks to pieces
and boiled the juice in the usual way that
we do sugar cane-about three hours
with moderately hot fire under the
boiler, which held eighty gallons. 1t
produced, after the process was complet-
ed, nine gallons of the whitest, purest
and most fragrant syrup that have ever
tasted. It was thick and full Of sweet
ness and did not have the burning be-
w oaS& Cd6oA SotAO AAio
lasses. Granulated sugar could not be
melted and made into clearer syrup than
this. There are many advantages in
grinding cornstalks over that of sugar
cane. Using the old-fashioned roller
mill, I filled 1t with five or six stalks at
once, and one small pony pulled them
through with no strain at all. The two
acres made three barrels of the syrup of
which I speak, and it was not necessary
for me to ship it in order to dispose Of it,
as two barrels retailed at 81 Q gallon,
right here in this county, and could
have sold much more at the same price If
had made it. This year have planted
twenty acres in corn and l shall 60
through the same process of planting,
manuring and gathering as did last
year, and there are many Of my neigh
bors engaging in the production Of corn,
principally for the cornstalk molasses."

Death OF Mr.. Andrew F. Lewis.

On Friday last, March 9Th, 1894, at 4
o'clock in the afternoon, Mr.. Andrew F.
Lewis died at his home, on Seneca River,
after lingering illness. He was in his
eightieth year, having been born on the
21st day of June, 1914. A long life OF use.
fulness and honor was his portion. In the
prime of mature manhood he was noted
for his sound judgment and popular
manners. he took deep interest in his
farming operations, and, until enfeebled
by the infrmities of age, gave his farm 8
personal supervision. SO devoted was he
to his noble avocation that he would fire.
quently remark. during his latter years.
that all the inscription he wanted on his
ombstone was: 'He was Farmer" be-
cause, he would add: "By your fruits you
would be known" This was favorite
theme for his contemplation and was one
of his oft repeated quotations.
He was fine gentleman of the old
school, and in the ante bellum days was
long one of the most popular men in the
upper part of the State. He was several
times elected member of the State Leg
islature from Pendleton, representing at
that time both Anderson and Pickens Dis.
tricts, eln bracing the territory now inclu-
ded in Anderson, OcoBee and Pickens
counties. In every election he was at the
head of the ticket as often as he was can
didate.
Being prominent man in 1850, when
the whole South was stirred from center to
circumference with the burning questions
of State Rights, he was elected mem Der
of the State Constitutional Convention,
which convened in the city of Charleston,
and on DECEMBER Goth, 1860, passed the
famous Ordinance Of Secession. He was
an ardent believer in States Rights, and
ever maintained the cause of Southern in.
dependence.
Mr.. Lewis was an honest man and en-.
joyed the confidence of all who knew him
he was a fine conversationalist and took
great delight in the entertainment OF his
friends. Scarcely was he ever seen at a
public gathering but tt at he was the center
Of a social group who hung upon his
bright and witty sayings.
In early life he was married to Miss
Sue a. Sloan, who, with several children,
survive.
For over forty years he liveu on his plan
tation on Seneca River.
On Sunday afternoon, at 8 o'clock, his
bier was followed to the Old Stone Church,
where, after appropriate funeral services,
conducted by Rev. 8. H. Zimmerman, in
the presence of large concourse Of sor.
rowing friends, his body was laid to rest
to await the resurrection morn.-Keowee

New Hope Items.

We are having some delightful weather
at this writing.
The farmers are pushing forward with
their work. Some are planting their corn
this week, and others will soon be ready.
From the looks of the fruit trees we will
have plenty of fruit this year, provided we
don't have any more cold weather.
The Superintendent will organize the
Sabbath School at this place next fourth
Sunday. The people Of the community
are invited to come out and take part in
the school.
Rev. N. q. Balinger preached one of
his entertaining sermons at this place last
second Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. jeff Shirley was visiting friends In
this community last Sunday.
The protracted meeting will bfgin here
on Saturday before the second Sunday in
April. Let every one pray for the meeting
that God will pour out his blessings upon
the people.

Means More Cotton.

A Texan farmer sounds mild but
timely note Of warning in the Louisville
Home and Farm, which all the prudent
farmers in the South will heed. He says -:
'The time for planting again will be
on hand ere the farmers have time to
draw long breath or to recuperate from
their over-exertions in making and gath
eri1g the cotton crop of 1893. And ba-
fore planting another seed they should
consider we'll the law of supply and de-
mand and be governed accordingly.
"If the cotton growers of the Southern
States will return to common sense and
stop planting 80 much cotton, and, all
who can, raise patch of wheat and corn
enough to fatten their meat, hard times
will adjust themselves and the farmers
would soon BIZ independent.
"There are people enough now In Tex
as to supply the world with cotton for
several years If the other States were to
cease producing cotton, and still they
come. Emigrants are coming from the
north, east, south ana west to the black
lands of Texas. The prairie is all settled
up AM! the people are tackling the thick
cts, clearing them up and putting
them in cuitiYation-whichm means moro
cotton"
The suggestion that the cotton farmers
generally of the Southern States should
return TO common sense and stop plant
ing so much cotton, will have no effect of
course, but the more prudent men among
their number will not fail to note the in
formation that agricultural immigrants
are pouring into Texas, and that the acre
age devoted to cotton in that State will
certainly be largely increased this year.
There will probably be no considerable
decrease, if ANY, in the crop in the other
Cotton States, and if there is to be fur
ther large increase in Texas, the effect
on the prices of cotton next fall and win
ter can readily be foreseen now before a
seed is put into the ground.
The cotton farmer in South Carolina
who lays his plans this year for abundant
food crops, short account at "the
store" and only so much cotton as he
can cultivate on that basis, will have no
cause to regret his action when the year
ends.
The same Texas correspondent re-
marks, by the way, that tall the clear
money" that is made in farming In Texas
is paid out "for Northern machinery that
is made to wear out and wear out quick" !"
Is this a true bill?-Neios and Courier,

the polls together and were chatting
pleasantly: DR.. Stokes voted for Jud 60

Why Not Have Peace :

That is question w0 want to put seri-
ously to every citizen Of Newberry
County. Why not have peace? Why be
eternally wrangling and quarreling and
haranguiug and helping and aiding to-
etir up strife and discord? Why have so
much political bitterness and prejudice ?
What do you gain by 1t all, socially.
morally, or financially? Now let us think
OF these things soberly and seriously:
The great majority Of rs can never hold
Office and could not afford it If we could
get the Office. We can't understand how
q few politicians, whose only. hope OF
retaining and obtaining position Is In
arousing the people, can delight In having
the excitement kept up, but how about
the balance Of Us. We have to plow on
some times It Is q mighty hard struggle
to obtain these. Then Why should we
permit ourselves to gel crazy about poll
tics ? We hear on ali sides that these are
hard times. There Is no hope Of them
being made easier by political agitation
and strife. IF the energy that is wasted
in political strife were devoted to the
development Of our msterial interests the
times would get better.
We want to see peace and harmony and
good will, and everybody working TO
bnild up his section snd his community
and thus bettering his own condition.
This we can not do as long as we are
trying to pull down somebody else. No
man builds rightly of securely or surely
who does 1t by trying to pull down some
body else. We can not do 1t as long as
every mans hand Is uplifted against his
neighbor. We can not have these things
by keeping up this everlasting political
agitation and strife. And we ask again,
who is to be benefited by it7 Only the
few politicians who keep up the preju-
dice and draw the salaries.
It Is right for Us to have an interest IN
public affairs. tits worthy ambition
to seek at the hands of your fellow clti-
zens positions Of honor and trust. But
the man who does it by appealing to the
prejudices Of the people and trying to
array one class against another has not
noble Or a worthy ambition and should
be considered as an enemy to his coun-
try. We are talking seriously and sober
" to you. reader. The professional poll
tician, who lives by Office alone, wants
you to keep yourself worked up and to
keep him in Office. That Is about all he
cares for you. There will always be
found plenty of men to fill the Offices.
Let us take up the ballots and put In the
BEST and most capable men without get
ting excited about it. It matters little
whom we put in the taxes will have to be
paid, ard we will havs to work on just
the same to keep the wolf from the door.
Let us then have peace, and when the
time comes to vote we can go and DO 1t as
seemeth best to our own best Judgment
without the advice or consent Of any boss.
