formation was received here by tele-
phone last evening from Datesville,
Greonville county, eleven miles from
here, Of what is said to have been an
attempt AZ lynohing, resulting in the
wounding, probably fatally, of a col
ored boy eight years old and the
serious wounding of three white
mon. -...,a. .-.... %. a.
Some weeks ago the barn and
stable of Edward Hughes were
burned. MIR. Hughes lives about six
miles from Batcsvillo. 1t was be-
lievcd that the buildings were fired
by an incendiary, and suspicion
rested on John Parks, negro living
on Mr.. Hughes farm. The evidence
against Parks was not sufficient to
cause his arrest, but there was a
strong feeling against him, which
eliminated Wednesday night about
midnight. Stories of what occurred
differ widely in important respects.
1t is certain, however, that about
midnight Parks was aroused by n
hammering on the door of his house,
accompanied by Il demand that he
come to the door with n light. His
story is that he refused to open the
door and an attack was at once made,
tho door fastonings were broken and
a dozen or more mcn rushed into the
room. Parks says he had suspected
lynching party and was prepared,
and as the crowd rushed in he opened
fire with a double barrcllcd shotgun.
The first load tore off the left arm
of James Nj. Jones, between the
elbow and shoulder. Tho result of
the second load was not serious,
being only The pepporing of a man
named Fowler from Spartanburg
county, and one other whose name
could not be learned. Parks says
the raiders then opened fire on him
with pistols, but he escaped unhurt
and that they then Withdrew from
the house to look after the wounded,
but soon returned and began fusil-
ade, firing into tho house through
door and window.
A son of Parks, about eight years
old, received two wounds, one
through the left wrist and the other
in the left side, tho bullet passing
through his body. Yesterday DR..
White extracted the bullet from tho
right side of the boy. The doctor
thinks this wound will prove fatal.
Parks returned to his home yester-
day.
On the other hand, friends of the
white men say the party went to
Parks house to get informatio II
about tho burning, that he fired at
them from the house and that the
boy was hurt when this fire was ro-
turned from outside.
Much feeling has been aroused in
the community. The negroes say
they will defend and uphold Parks.

.<- UNITED STATES BONDS.
United States bonds are recognized
as the most secure and stable form
of obligation. that investors can hold.
They arc attractive, not only because
of the absolute security offered, but
because there is at all times public
market for them on which holders
can quickly sell; and they also offer
the most desirable form of collateral
if the holder wishes to secure a tenn
porary loan. Tho fact that United
States bonds are not subject to taxes
of any character.-Federal, State or
municipal-is valuable feature of
that form of Investment. United
States bonds are issued in both cou-
pom and registered form.

THE FARMING WORLD ID.
THE FARM CORN CROP.
To DO Its Best It Requires g Rich Soil.
Either Naturally or Artificially
g#5E Undetermined. f,

Having had years of experience am
convinced there is no other grain crop
grown by the average farmer that will
produce SO much good, nutritious food
from a given amount of seed and land
as corn. The yield per acre can be
greatly increased and more acres be
left in clover and grass. To doits best,
corn requires rich soil, either natural
~ or artifcially underdrained. The
ideal preparation is to pillow under
clover sod and treat thin spots to a
coat of stable or barnyard manure, so
as to secure an even growth all over
the field. Next to a clover sod prefer
timothy sod, next wheat stubble, and
last of all, corn stubble. Ground we'll
plowed is half narrowed. Use good
plow, supplied with wheel and jointer.
The wheel makes the pillow run steadier
and regulates the depth. The jointer
throws all the rubbish and sod into the
bottom of the furrow, where it will not
bother in cultivation and more readily
decay. BY not making burrows too
wide and turning them at an angle of
30 or 40 degrees, we shall have an ideal
place for the seed. Plow as soon as the
soil is dry enough to crumble nicely
from the mold board.
Before planting, the ground must be
worked down into fine, mellow seed
bed. The spring tooth harrow is a
splendid implement to cut the ground
up with, and if it happens to be cloddy
l prefer plank drag to roller. Just
before planting use fine tooth smooth
ing harrow which will leave the surface
fine and level. In planting I use the
wire check rover and plant in hills
three and one-half feet each way. It is
easier to cultivate, the ground can be
kept more level, it is much easier to har-
vest and get just as large yields when
it is planted in hills as in drills. As
soon as corn is planted, begin cultivat-
ing by using light, fne-toothed har-
row, and again in three or four days use
the same implement and go crosswise
OF the previous narrowing. AS soon as
we can see the corn along the row re-
plant missing hills and start the two
horse cultivator. I use cultivator
with three small shovels on a side; the
first blowing I plow very close to the
corn, and after this blowing if the
ground is inclined to be dry, use the
roller and follow this again with the
cu1tivator. After this cultivate each
week, each time crosswise of the pre-
ceding time, shallower and farther
from the corn. Continue this cultivat-
ing until grain and hay harvest begins.
After this do nothing more to it, ex-
cept go through with hoe in July and
August and remove stray weeds.-M.
G. Thomas to Ohio Farmers Institute.

HOG CHOLERA CURES.
The Successful One May Have been
Discovered Mt Last by the Ag-
ricultural Department..

Swine breeders have become thor
oughly skeptical concerning hog chol-
era cures, and before the successful one
will be received with general favor it
must be proven to be very successful
remedy. Charlatans and quacks have
advertised and sold remedies and cures
and grown rich on the proceeds of their
sales, but the successful cure is yet to
come, unless late experiments by the
agricultural department prove that the
long-looked-for relief has at last been
found.
Those who are well posted in the pa
thology of the disease do not doubt that
a cure will be found eventually, but so
far in the quest the work has been con-
fined to blind experiments. It is be-
1ieved that the remedy will be found in
serum that will be used to inoculate
the animal and prevent the disease,
rather than cure one that is already
sick.
DR.. D. E. Salmon, of the bureau of an
imal industry, has been experimenting
with a new serum which is produced
by inoculating COWS or horses with
hog cholera virus, and some late
experiments seem to indicate that a
great measure of success will follow the
use of this new treatment. In some
tests in Iowa So per cent of those treat
ed escaped the disease, while SIS per
cent. of herds in the same vicinity not
treated died. Further experimentation
will be required before definite results
can be announced, and the manufacture
and application of the serum will be
kept in the hands of government ex-
pcrts until the value of it is fully de-
termined. 1t is proposed to ask con-
gress to appropriate enough money to
furnish serum for 100000 hogs tho
coming season, the cost at present being
about ten cents for each hog treated.
If 50 per cent. of the hogs in infected
districts can be saved the value of the
treatment will be very great.-Farm-
ers' Voice.

Testing Coal by the X R0vs.

The method of testing coal by x rays
is being employed by many manu-
facturers, who state that it makes a
considerable difference in their fuel
bills. tits found that by turning the rays
on the coal they can tell how much of
it will remain as ashes after it is burned,
and how much will escape as gas. This
is manifestly of the first Importance to
all users of steam power. The lowest
priced coal is not necessarily the cheap
est. The percentage of ash is one of
the best indications of the steam-mak-
ing qualities of coal. A coal which
leaves a large amount of ash has. of
course, relatively small amount of
conbustible constituents, and vice
versa. The shadow produced upon the
microscope by piece of coal of given
size and thickness is apparently de-
pendent for it's relative density upon
the amount of ash-producing material
in the piece of coal. A number of SAM
pies of uniform thickness Of various
kinds of coal having known percentages
of ash are prepared. The density of
the shadow cast by these in the fluoro-
scope is compared with that of the coal
to be tested, and the quantity of ash
per ton in the sample under considera-
ton is Immediately shown with con-
siderable accuracy.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

Government Cholera Rectpe.

To prevent hog cholera the govern
ment recipe is as follows: Wood char
coal, one pound; sulphur, one pound;
sodium sulphate (Glaubers salts), one
pound; anthony sulphide, one pound;
sodium chloride common salt), two
pounds; sodium bicarbonate, two
pounds; sodium hyposulphite, two
pounds. Pulverize these ingredients
perfectly and mix thoroughly. The
dose of this mixture is a large table,
spoonful for each 200 pounds of hog given
once daily. When hogs are sick, feed
soft food made by mixing bran and mid
dlings, or middlings and corn meal, or
ground oats and corn, or crushed wheat
with hot water and stirring in this med
icine. Hogs are fond of these mixtures
and the appetite is increased. Animals
so sick that they cannot eat can be
drenched by shaking the medicine up
in water. Use as a preventive by feed
ing to the whole herd.
