The imperial Spanish manege IN
Vienna is probably the only one of
numerous medieval riding schools
which have lasted to this day and
probably this one would no more
exist We're it not for the munif-
cence of Emperor Charles VI, who
provided for the continuance of this
favorite pastime by large bequest,
which provides for the annual
spending of the interest only, insur-
ing the permanence of the institu-
ton.
The conditions of horseback rid
ing, as handed down here, are prob
ably the most correct example of
how riding was taught centuries
ago, at time when the art of rid
ing well constituted the most i'm
portant as well as necessary quail
ity Of a nobleman.
Chivalry then meant expert
knowledge of horseback riding.
Emperor Charles VI also provided
that only horses from the Lipizza
stud, in Carinthia, where then the
finest horses of Austria were bred,
should be ridden in the Spanish
manege, and 33 of these beautiful
animals are constantly kept in the
model stables attached to the ma
nege.
Only stations are sent to Vienna,
and they are snow white, with a
flesh colored nose. Horses for the
Spanish manege are shod with sill.

The town of Lewisburg will have
an election Nov. q, and the cam
paign is being fought practically
along the same lines as the present
campaign in Columbia. The fol-
lowing clippings from the Lewis
burg Sentinel may be found inter-
esting to our readers:
You may vote the same ticket
that the saloon man votes in the
city election, but you may as well
expect the rivers to run up hill as to
expect to have the laws enforced by
such a vote"
IF candidates before the people
for city offices really oppose the
violation of law by the saloons, or
others, what harm will it do them to
say so publicly and openly? Is II
not an indication that they will
wink the other eye at the violation
of the law, while they try to get
your vote on such pretensiOns?''
Don't pay any attention TO the
man who claims to be for good
order, and the enforcement OF the
laws against the saloon and gam

to vote for candidates who refuse ia

HeR Notes.

Feed the sucking SOW good slops.
Sleeping in wet places will give
the hogs rheumatism.
Arrange warm, dry quarters in
good season for the hogs.
A little oil meal in the slops is
good for the growing pigs.
What growing pigs need IL a
variety of food rich m muscle and
bone forming materials.
Brood sows should be moderately
fed before they drop their litters.
Afterward feed all they will eat.
1t is a detriment rather than an
advantage to have the breeding
sOws get too fat.
To obtain the best results in rear
ing a young brood, rapid growth
and early maturity should be the
first object.

ALL ABOUT THE FARM.
Timely Notes That all Farmers Should

Timely Notes That all Farmers Should
Read.
Are there thin spots in the grass
on your lawn? Cover them with
stable manure this fall.
Winter apples are worth special
care this year. The crop Is short
and prices must be high.
Remember that the true health
diet is plenty of fruit. Fruit to eat
satisfies the appetite, promotes the
health and DESTROYS, to great eX-
tent, the desire for meats.
One secret in successful farming is
In the doing of many things out of
season, as some short sighted people
would look at it. Try to transfer a
part Of the spring work to the fall
and winter months.

neither do rOup nor gapes. Hawks
do not modest them. They lay more
eggs and will hatch better than
hens. With good feeding they can
be made to weigh five pounds in ten
weeks after Matching.
Manure is better hauled out at any
time than to be left leeching away
in the barn yard, but coarse manure
hauled out and spread in the spring
does not greatly benefit the crop
this year. If you want an early re-
suit from it, you would better haul
out and spread this fall
There are some lands upon which

the spring by the disc harrow only.
This may be done upon clay or
heavy loan soils. but will not do for
that which is of light sandy nature.
We will get better development
and better meat if we will feed our
hogs more roots, grasses and green
food and less corn. Every farm
should produce turnips, carrots,
parsnips, potatoes and beet for the
stock, and especially to the pigs
should these be fed along with the
grain.
As soon as sheep show any signs
Of sore feet, separate them from the
rest Of the flock. The trouble may
not be contagious, but if it is you

CONVICTS ESCAPE.
Two Life Prisoners Escape From the
Old Penitentiary.

Ola Penltenttary'
Last Thursday night Jas. Wright
and Felix Ellington. two white con-
victs serving life sentences, made
their escape from the old Pen
itentiary at Nashville.
The prisoners made their escape
through the subterreanean passage
under their cell, through which
Lawrence, Bradley and Smith mad
gone before.
The blame for the escape is laid
by Warden Rqgsdale on Guard
Polk, who, it is claimed. did not eX-
ercise due vigilance. 1t was part
of his duty to make hourly trips and
LOOK in each cell by holding the
light against the lattice. Had he
done this, it is claimed that the pro-
posed escape would have been dis
covered in time to Illustrate it. Polk
was yesterday afternoon relieved
from duty by the Prison Commits
sinners, and his place taken by Dun
can Peyton, son of Mr.. Rufe Peyton

THE SOUTH AND ITS SLAVES.
The Work Done for the Negroes b,
Southern Women.

Southern Women.
The Rev. Edward L. Pell of this
city is collecting material for a his
tory Of the efforts made by the South
for the moral elevation of the negro
before the war. The facts of such a
history, while not easily available.
are mere abundant than is generally
supposed. Not only did the churches
Of the South spend large sums of
money in missionary work among
the blacks, but it was not uncommon
for persons who owned a large body
Of slaves to have place of worship
for them, and TO have preacher
employed for the special ministry.
Moreover, every white church had
its contingent Of cOlOred members,
who had a voice i'm the management
of church affairs, and so sacred was
this tie that many of the cOlOred
people co ntinued their membership
i'm the white churches even after
they were emancipated. The efforts
of individual lay men. as. for eX
ample, StOnewan Jackson, in the
Sunday school for slaves at LeXing-
ton. would make another long and
touching chapter. All this is moth
ing, however, as compared with the
work done for the negro by the wo-
men of the South. The idea that
the Southern women were made
herOines by the late war is far from
the fact. They were heroines from
the beginning, and they had been
in training, from the time that the
slaves came into our possession. In
stead of the many public charities
in which they are engaged to-day,
they devoted their time to the in
structiOn of the slaves and the
amelioratiOn of their condition.
Seek any old negro and ask him
where be got his religious instruc-
ton, and he will almost invariably
tell you that he owes it to "Ole

Of a great number Of bets, and lots OF
