ures to compel the use of wide tires are
being advocated. The ratio of width will
probably be sIx-inch tire for wagons OF
five tons capacity. The question OF work

chief consideration, though 1t is claimed
that can be obviated at slight expense by
the use of q new tire now on the market,
which fits ever the narrow tires now so
much in use in this county.

A Model Cattle Farm in the Delta

II. l.. Foote, ex-sheriff of Shar-
key county, and one OF the pro-
gressive citizens of that portion OF
the State, is showing the people Of
the Delta by actual demonstrate"
that something else can be raised
in that rich country besides cotton.
He has converted the greater por-
ton of his home place, The
Mounds, into a stock farm, and has
it divided into lots and pastures
like real blue grass farms in
Kentucky. He has built some fine
stables and barns, and will build
others before winter. lie will soon
have large tank on the talIest Of
the mounds, which will be filled
by a windmill. This tank will be
used as means to force water to
any part of the plantation and the
several pastures as they are used.
Mr.. Fo0te is a thorough horseman,
and we predict for him a hattering
success. His cottage on the
mounds is one Of the most conven-
lent houses we have ever seen, and
taken altogether it is worth any
ones time to 20 over his farm and
inspect the Improvements that are
altogether new to this part Of the
South.
Mr. Foote's enterprise will be
watched with great interest anC
profit. 1t is fast becoming recog
nized by the progressive farmers
even Of that rich section that in or
der to make any money, or even
fair living, that something els
must be raised besides cotton
Acting on this many Of them ar
going into cattle and hog raising
and the farmer now who fails t
raise a large proportion Of the corr
! he needs is rather the exception
than the rule. All this has bee
brought about within the past fe1

town together. Both were under
the influence Of liquor. They had a
dispute cbout some matter and de-

that Wilkes had on a pistol. He

Wilkes had preceded him to the
stable, and the marshal Of the
town hearing ofthe probable trouble
had gone to the stable to stop it.
Just as Anderson entered the door
Wilkes ierked loose from the mar

told him to stop or he would kill
him. Wilkes failed to obey, and
Anderson thcreupon fired the six
shots from his revolver at him az

How General Wade Hampton Was
Surprised.

How General Wade Hampton Wa
Surprised.
We promised not to say any.
thing aoout it. but it is too good
to keep. We will not say who ii
was, however. During the un-
yelling of the Confederate monu-
ment at Bentonsville, Gen. Wade
Hampton, the orator on the occa-
sion7 and quite a party of ladies
from this city, including the
handsome young lady military
organization, thedamptonG uards
making some thirty in all, were
stopping at the residence of Mr..
Jno. Harper, rear where the
monument stands. AS the house
was quite crowded, it was de-
cided by the family to give Gen.
Hampton the parlor to sleep in,
and in order that he might OBJ
tain the rest which he so much
needed, nothing was said about
it only to a few. During the
evening a party of married ladies
who had been out to the camp of
the Rifles, near by, returned,
and as the weather had turned a
little cool, they asked where
they could warm. They were re-
ferred to the parlor. So in they
went. Seeing a bed in there,
they of course concluded that
some one was occupying it. One
of them remarked that the
family had put some Of the chill
dren in there to sleep. [ believe
it's a baby, and I do so love to
see a dear little innocent baby
sleep. I'm just going to see, too.
Quite steathlike she approached
the bed, when 10, she discovered
not a baby, but a man, a sure
enough man. She rushed from
the bed and excitedly whispered
to the other ladies: ct amt a
baby; it's a man! a man and
it's General Hampton. too" The
way that party of ladies got out
of that room is one of the Won
ders of the nineteenth century.
General Hampton told them
next day that he wasn't asleep;l
that he heard all they said, and
it was all he could do to keep
from laughing. What the Gen
eral heard, however, we haven't
learned.

A Snake Haunted Tract-IndiA.


In spots of jeopardy and awkward
angles, attack from behind is the main
thing to guard against Walking on
tous, I communed with myself of
snakes and beasts, duly considering
what terx4ble bugbears they are to
stay-at-homes. An old poet has told us
not to whistle till we are well clear of
the wood; but whistle We merrily to
yourselves" l SO 1iloquized, 'all ye
who range the byways of a snake
haunted tract. Sing somewhat loudly,
by the way; let there be melody
not in your hearts only, but on your
lips Thus shall We prove yourselves
very lords of creation. From the notes
of your hymn shall each lewd beast
and unclean reptile flee away, alright
ed and amazed!' Would that l had
practiced what I unused on in silence;
for, even as I unused, the swish of
a rattan rang sharp behind, and, lool-
ing back, 1 saw my boy fell . deadly
serpent to the earth. / had stepped
clean over him! 1t was a great escape.
My pyiamas were tucked up to the
knee, and if the brute had had time to
