FATAL row OVER CATTLE.
Thomas walker Killed by James
Anderson at Orange BIufY.

Folkston, Ga, July News has reach
ed here of the killing of Thomas Walker
by James Anderson al Orange Stuff, Fla.
last Wednesday afternoon. From the best
Information obtainable il seems that the
father of Anderson had leased a farm on
which there was a pasture and that Wal
ker persisted in turning his oxen in the
pasture contrary to the instructions Of
Anderson. They had a difficulty over the
matter some days ago, when Anderson
locked the gate and Walker beat down
the wire fencing and again turned his
oxen in.
Anderson and his son went to turn them
out. Walker told them that he would kin
the last one of them before they should
turn bis oxen out and started on to young
Anderson, when he was shot with a
muzzle loading musket, the entire load
taking effect in the top Of his head, killing
him instantly. Anderson has not been ar
rested up to this time. Walker bore quite
a bad reputation, having recently served
term on the chain-gang for sheep steal
ing, and was under bond in this county
for COW stealing.
At the Democratic mass meeting in this
district to-day H. w. Mitchum and w.

he was hurt by a north-bound freight
train last night The town authorities
took charge of the man, employed Dr.
Wright, who amputated the injured arm
and put him under nurse. Toms says

HOW MICA IS OBTAINED.
The Poetry of Mining-Very VaIu-
able Products.
FROM Godey's Magazlne % July.

From Godey's Magazine for July.
The mica trade is controlled practically
by three or four large concerns in New
York, Chicago and Boston. These houses
nave an agent who buys for cash what
ever mica is brought by the miners They
control the market, and fix the prices to
be PAID to the miner as well as the prices
Tor which ID is sold in the markets.
Mica IL need hardly be said, is a very
valuable, almost precious, mineral, as
those who are obliged 10 buy a small strip
Tor their stove doors will testify. A pack
age worth hundreds of dollars can be car
red in basket slung over the arm, or in
a pair of saddle bags on horseback. When
prepared for the market the solid block, as
taken from the mine, is split into sheets.
These are cut into squares or rectangles Of
almost every possible size, from 2x2 inches
up to SXlO inches, and sometimes even
larger. There are no less than 1873 regular
sizes kept in stock by dealers.
The mining of mica is the poetry of
mining. 1t is impossible TO conceive Of
more exciting and fascinating employment.
The vein of mica-bearing quartz, lying be-
tween rocks of different formation, has
been found. The cap rock has been blast
ed away. Little 'niggerheads'' small
Jumps of crumbling mica mixed with
STATE and other rock-are growing plentiful.
The rock is carefully examined by the ex-
perienced miner, and all indications are
that mica will soon be found A blast is
made. The rock and debris are cleared
away, and there in the bottom Is a block
of the precious stuff, a ragged corner
showing itself black and glittering in the
white quartz In which it is imbedded.
With the tips of the fingers the miner
gently and affectionately brushes away
the dirt and small stones which partly COW
er it. Its thickness Is carefully noted, its
position in the rock is learnedly discussed,
and many a speculation INDUCED In as TO
its size and quality The hole is quickly
drilled, the small blast Is made, just loos-
ening the rock, and all eagerly crowd
around as one of the men with his pick
pulls away the broken stone. There 1t
lies, a black, glittering mass, nine or ten
inches across its face, three or four inches
thick and irregular In shape, as all blocks
of mica are. A good-sized block, and, if
solid and of a perfect cleavage will be
worth several dollars. The excitement Is
not allayed, however, and will not be until
the block is split open and we know how
il looks on the inside. 1t is very bad
thing to split open a block At the mine,
and contrary to all rules, for there is dan
ger that the fine, polished faces will be
scratched.

ALMOST OBSOLETE,
The HOecakc Is Fast Disappearing
From Southern Tables.
From the Richmond Dispatch

From the Richmond Dispatch.
Most middle-aged persons remember well
when corn bread was served upon nearly
all tables in the South and West at least
twice day. Sometimes it appeared in
the form of "hoecake' or ''battcr bread.
and again in ''pones." 1t was par excel
lence the bread of the negro. and every
man who served in the Confederate army
was also full graduate in the use CT it.
Now the darkies eschew IL where wheat
bread is to be obtained. and upon the tables
of thousands of Southern and Western
whites it never appears at all. while others
continue to uAe it only for dinner.
Now, why is this? Surely corn meal is
as il ever was. Those who sincerely hut
probably mistakenly, believe that water
ground meal is better than the product CT
mills turned by steam can always find a
supply of that in most cities, and il is com
mon enough in the country. There is no
trouble about the meal; but we doubt
whether the art Of cooking il has been pre-
served. The heightened colored damsels
who are turned out by our public schools
are not The adopts that our old Aunt Di-
ndhs and Aunt PEGS were No self-rc-
specting pan OF dough would be conJured
into shape by such unskilled hands And
then we may seriously doubt whether
corn bread can be cooked in a stove as Wen
as IN an oDen fireplace.
The Indians laid their dough cakes be-
tween layers OF forest leaves or upoa The
hard ground and cooked them in the hot
ashes. Hence "ash-cal1e" a very luscious
product indeed when one has whetted his
appetite for il by a long days hunting.
The hOecake was so called because il was
originally baked upon a hoe-that ever
ready and useful instrument of agricul-
ture which is to be found upon every pllu-
tation- But later on cooking utensils were
manufactured which took the place Of the
humble noe. So, too, shinge were used
whereupon to place The dough while il went
through the process Of becoming a well
Gone ash cake.
