and wife, colored, left their home two
miles from lamar, 10 attend church
near there last Sunday evening.
Their two little children, Goth girls,
aged five and four respectively, were
sent before the departure for church,
to the children's grand parents, quar-
ter of a mile away. On the parents
return home late in the evening, the
children were not on the premises as
expected. Some one was sent over
across a narrow strip OF woods to the
grand parents for them, and they were
not there. 1t was learned that the
children had left the latter place for
home sometime before sun down. At

found beaten and bruised and both

Which Storyis True7

New ORLEANS, September 24.-
Tuesday night last a negro named
Hawkins was boiling some pitch in
Gretna and was annoyed By a number
of children. He told them to 90 away,
and as they did not obey quickly he
slapped one of them. This child hap
pened to be a nephew of one of the
Gretna police force. This man on be-
ing informed Of the occurrence raised
great hue and cry and went after
Hawkins who made his escape. Two
innocent negroesin waose house Haw-
kins took refuge were shot and badly
wounded by the crowd in pursuit Of
Hawkins, who had left the house some
time before. Last night Hawkins was
caught in Algiers and carried to Gret
na, where he was locked up in what is
called the little Jail, a small frame
building in a neighborhood where
there are but few houses. The door
was secured by a paddock and no one
was on guard. About l O'Clock this
morning a mob broke open the house,
took Hawkins out, carried him about
q mile away and hanged him. After
life was extinct the bod V was cut down
and thrown into the river. Today the
authorities of GretEa profess ignorance
OF the affair and the chief Of police of
that village claims that Hawkins
broke jail and exhibits the broken
paddock as proof.

should be made to this estimate.
The so called "doubtful' groups,
with 80 and "a electoral votes respec-
lively, should be transferred bodily to
the Bryan column, increasing It to
1G9 votes
Then we would take from the list OF
certain Mckinley States New York.
New Jersey, Ohio, Wisconsin and
Washington. with s. votes, and trans,
fer them to the doubtful" column.
Finally, we would change from Nc
Kinley to Bryan the States OF Mary
land, Delaware, West Virginia, In
diana, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Min
nesota, South Dakota, Kentucky, Ore
gon and California, with 112 votes.
According to this computation Bry-
an would have PSI votes, Mckinley 81
and S5 would bein doubt.
This is a sincere estimate-qulte as
sincere as Gen. Grosvenor's. 1t there
be large variance between the two 1t

extends over half the Union.

Preparing Seed Corn.

An experienced farmer, writing on
this subject, says: Some ten years
ago | planted an ear of corn to tes:
the difference between the product OF
the kernels of both ends and the mid
die OF the same ear and will give you
the result. The soil was just alike, the
cultivation the same, and the crop
very different. l planted the first two
rows from the tip or small end, and
planted all the same morning. Ths
large end produced fair sized ears.
The middle kernels produced ea,s
mostly straight and fair. The tips
brought forth nubbins only. There
was not a fair ear on the two rows of
corn. ] have raised corn more or less,
for 40 years, and now plant only two
thirds Of the kernels on each ear Of
corn, and generally raise good crops"
II the crop can be got into the ground
early, it is not advisable to soak the
seed for the purpose of fastening its
growth. II the weather comes unfav-
orable for planting while the corn is
soaking, the sprouts are apt to get so
long that they will be broken off
while carried IN the planting bag, and
besides Sprouted seed cannot be put
into the hand planter, the use of
which very much facilitates the labor,
and if the ground is dry, makes the
growth of the seed doubly certain.
Two or three weeks ago we COM
menced planting a field of corn with
the hoe, the ground was dry, and the
labor SO great to obtain moist earth to
cover the seed. that we gave up the
task when the field was about half
planted and took q hand planter to
finish the work. The result was that
the last half came up perfectly, and
the first had to be more than two
thirds repIanted, The grain covered
with the loose dirt from the hoe ger
but by the atmosphere dry
ing up the loose soil, the sprouts with
cred and died.

Buggy Bhip Used On q Thief.

MAYEsvILLE, S. c., Sept. 22.-There
is an ordinance in this town taxing
circuses and shows of any and every
description, but free show was fur
nished the citizens Of lower Main
street on Friday last and was sprung
on the people so quickly that our alert
mayor and council did not have time
to realize what had happened until the
performance had ended. There were
no show bills or programmes an.
nouncing the coming of any monster
aggregation or combination of world
wonders, but if this free performance
had been advertised, no doubt the
town would have been crowded and
the merchants would have reaped q
harvest on the day and date in ques-
ton. 1t seems that very black
Johnnie, whose surname is Black,
while working in the Dispensary be-
came very thirsty and decided to ap-
propriate quart of Old Velvet to his
own use. Dispenser Wells caught
him in the act, and started towards
him when Johnnie became suspicious
and made q break for the street door
with the Dispenserin hot pursuit. The
negro ran down Main street and turn
ed the corner in front OF the tobacco
warehouse. Just at this iuncture Dis.
penser Wells fired after his fleeing
form and gave up the chase, but later
in the day the negro came bac ( to town
and called to compromise the matter
with the Dispenser, who asked him
how he proposed 10 settle. ANY
way, boss, but don't lock me up" re-
piled the negro. Aud the way the
Dispenser settled the matter was by
leading the negro out to an oak tree
on Main street and making him hug
a tree while the Dispenser gave him
twenty five lashes with 4 whalebone

More Massacres.

CoNSTASTISoPLE, Sept. 21.-Advices
received here regarding massacres at
Egin, in the Cavillayaet of Kahrput,
show that they occurred on the 18Th
and 10Th Of the present month. The
kurds attacked the Armenian quarter,
killed large numbers ofits inhabitants
and pillaged and burned their houses.
Many Armenians escaped to the noun.
tains. According to the accounts of
the Turkish government, 600 Armen-
ians were killed at Egin, and these
advices also state that the outrage was
provoked by the Armenians firing into
the Turkish quarter. No authentic
details of the massacre have yet been
received

THE VERDICT.
This closed the evidence and after
deliberating the jury found the fol
lowing verdict:
That the said white female infant
came 10 her death by strangulation by
the hands Of w. II. Easterlin on the
night of September 2lst, all at Ben
netts mill pond, East Shore Terminal
track, in the city of Charleston
Easterlin was then committed to
jail without the privilege Of bail to
await trial at the November term of
court.
THE CIITLD'S MOTHER.
The mother OF the dead infant lies
at the hospital and is doing very well.
She is tall and quite fine looking
woman with rich brown hair and a
white skin. 1t will probably be but a
short time before she is recovered
from her illness.

These are practically sure for the
opposition, although there may be a
possible dispute even along that line
Il put my estimate upon the facts
with my own personal knowledge Of
the rapid and mighty change in public
sentiment that has been going on
ever since the campaign of 1896 began.
| believe that the vote OF Arkansas, to
which our opponents are pointing with
pride, is more significant of coming
results in the Middle and Western
States than is even the magnificent
victory in Maine. The fact that a
State like Arkansas, with the charac.
ter of whose elections we have become
so familiar, exhibited such a splendid
increase of Democratic votes, is in the
highest degree important, and rela-
tive increase of Republican votes in
the other States Of the Middle and
West would give US practically solid
vote. No sensible man can shut his
eyes to the fact that the Mckinley tide
has been rising since about August /,
and that the ratio of its increasing g
power grows greater every day. The
entire campaign is suggestive OF 1872,
when, in July and August, there was
grave apprehension that Greeley might
be elected. Yet in November be was
overwhelmingly and disastrously de-
feated.

THE OTHER SIDE.

In commenting on the above figures
The Columbia State says:
Gen. Grosvenor of Ohio, the Nc,
kinley "fgurer," disposes of the
States with great ease. Nothing could
be smoother and more sweeping than
his method of making a majority for
the Major" He generously comedies
to Bryan the States of Alabama, Ar
kansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia,
Idaho, Mississippi, Nevada, Montana,
South Carolina and Utah, with total
of 20 electoral votes.

ginia. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi-

modest aggregate OF 27S votes, 224, be-
ing necessary to elect.
in the column of probable Mckin-
ley States he puts Kansas. Nebraska,
North Carolina, North Dakota, and
Wyoming, with 50 votes.
