Saved by His Horse.

A graphic story is told by Surgeon
Captain Grey, one of the officers who
served in Rhodesia. In the attack on
Mashangombi the horses began to
drop, and soon 13 lay on the ground,
and it looked as if the men would all
be killed. Evidently Capt. Turner
thought SO, for he virtually gave the
order, 'Sauve qui peut," telling every
man to fight the best he could for his
own hand. But though the horses
continued to fall, the men escaped.
DR.. Grey, to use his own words, 'led
towards the way out, under raking
fire at a gallop, and was closely follow
ed by the troop.
every soon, however, I fell from
the saddle, struck with a bullet from
an elephant gun about 500 yards off.
The bullet struck me on the top of the
thigh, smashing the socket Of the
thigh bone, breaking vein, and other
wise wounding me. My horse was
carried on at full speed with the rear
guard, which rushed at desperate
speed to clear the pocket like entrance
to the drift, where the natives were
rallying in the hope of killing US.
As I lay on the grass, bleeding pro-
fusely, [ looked up and saw two ma
tives aiming at me at distance of
about 40 feet. At the same moment
I saw my horse come laundering back
from the drift. 1t suddenly stopped
and came and stood over my prostrate
body, covering me from the firing, and
at the same time making a peculiar
noise through its nostrils. l thought
it had been wounded, and that with
the pain, noise, and confusion it had
gone mad. This notion, however, was
soon dispelled, for it continued to
stand over me in kneeling posture,
and I could see that the faithful ami
NAL had come back to protect me.
~ may remark here that this horse,
which I myself selected, I made pet
Of. The assegais from the approach
ing natives we're now beginning to fly
around me, and thinking if I could
reach my horses back I should be
shot, which was preferable to being
assegaicd, I seized the rcins, put my
right foot in the stirrup, and made a
supreme effort to mount. And | was
successful; but how l did it I do not
know, for my left side was entirely
paralyzed. On finding myself in the
saddle, I called, Co. to my horse,
which darted like an arrow towards
the exit from the drift. st. James

South Carolina at the Top.

The United States Department Of
Agriculture shows that South Caroli
ma, the smallest Of all the Cotton
States, raised more cotton in 1895 in
proportion to her area than any other
State. The production of cotton
in this State was 25 bales to the
square mile; the production Of cotton
in Georgia was 18 bales to the
square mile. The News and Courier
stated these facts to show that South
Carolina leads the South in cotton pro-
duction, but the facts given were not
relished by the Savannah Morning
News, which said that all the figures
seemed to show was that the South
Carolina farmers were raising too much
cotton.
1t may be true that our farmers are
raising too much cotton, but they are
raising a good deal besides cotton.
We venture to say that in proportion
to area South Carolina raised more
hogs in 1895 than Georgia, aud more
corn in proportion to acreage, and
more hay and oats and wheat and to-
bacco.
The largest crop of corn ever pro-
duced on an acre of land in the

nah paper. Home-seekers and invest
