OfInterest to Syrup Makers.

The Irwinton, Ca, Bulletin tells a
story which may prove Of value to some
of the syrup makers in South Carolina.
1t says: Judge W. T. Cannon told us
the other day that he had one Of toe
best barrels Of syrup ever made. He
has been farming extensively nearly all
his life. making lot Of syrup using the
best and latest improved methods Of
boiling, always receiving best results.
Last fall when the first cold snap came
sufficient to kill cane his field was white
With cottoo, and he could nos spare the
time to make his syrup. He ordered
his hands to dig the cane at once, pre-
pare bed just as they wouli for seed
cane. His Instructions were carried
out, aud the hands returned to other
needed work on the farm. TIE cane
remained ia this state Until all the other
crops on the plantation were housed,
aud hands out Of a job. The cane was
.,ug up then, stripped and made ready
for the mill. By this method the cane

q New Cotton Plant.

Some interesting experiments are
going on in the agricultural department
at Washington IN connection with the
cultivation of cotton. Mr. Weber
showed correspondent some beautiful
specimens Of hybrid cotton plants. By
crossing the sea island cotton with the
short staple, or upland cotton, gratlfy-
ing results have been obtained. In the
hybrid tie staple is not quite as long as
the ordinary sea island cotton, but it IS
considerably longer than the short sta
pie variety, and, in addition, 1t Is hea-
vier and Of superior quality. The
plants Of the aybri3 cotton are twice
the size Of the largest sea island plants,
showing that the bybrids are more Wig
orous than their parents. These ezpe-
riments in cotton growing are not con
fined to the hot houses Of the agrlcuI-
tural department, for numbers OF cotton
planters in South Carolina and Georgia
are keeping right abreast with the de-
partment in this work Some Of the
finest specimens Of hybrids are expect
ed to produce better quality Of cotton
and each plant will probably produce
twice as much as the ordinary sea island
plant. 1t is expected that by brid cot
ton can be grown in the climate and
under the ssme conditions as now pre-
vail in the upland cotton belts Of the
South.

Gus negro OF the community al o clock

ing supper, and before the presence Of
the negro was known Crawford was fell
ed 20 the fiocr by terrible blow on the
head with max The powerful negro

his escape, and he has not been captur
ed this afternoon, although a large
posse Of euraged citizens aud several
bloodhouuds are after him. If the ne
gro is captured there will be 4 lynchlng
on the spot, as the negro was clearly
identified by Mrs Crawford and his
guilt IS fixed beyond a doubt. is be-
lieyed that ne cannot evade the posse
long. as the hioodhounds have traced
him many miles through the woods and
swamps, aud it seems there IS good
opportunity Of capturing him.
The crime was terrible one and 1t
has embittered the feeling against the
negroes in this community and it would
take only the slightest disturbance to
start serious trouble The Palmetto
lynching of several negroes several
weeks ago is still fresh IL the minds of
the people, and there is determine
ton among the citizens to ayenge such
crimes as have heen committed by ne
groes recently. notably the burning OF
Palmetto and the crime Of last night.
After recovering from the grasp Of the
negro brute, Mrs. Crawford made her
way to the home Of her husband, faith,
er, Mr.. G. Z. Crawford, about one half
mile from her own home, and there she
told of the murder Of her husband and
how she had suffered at the hands Of
the negro. Mr.. Crawford quickly
sounded the alarm and the neighbors
gathered at the Crawford home aHd
quickly organized possess to scour the
country with determination to locate
and lynch the negro.
There has been great excitement IN
the community today and report Of

lynching, proposing to set fire to the
postof:ice and kill Baker when he came
out. 1t was agreed to do this Monday
night. At that time the men armed
with Mcknight. Ward aud others, went
to the place He and Early P. Lee set

to go to kill Baker, but he refused to
do so. Springs was being cross-ex-
amined when court adjourned on ac-
count Of the illness Of Juror Murphy.

Three Historic Guns.

Mayor Smyth has received fele-
gram from Gen. Burlington, chief of
ordnance, l.. S. A, stating that the
war department had consented to the
loan to the City Of Charleston Of three
big siege guns that were used on James
Island during the latest real war. The
guns we're formerly munteo in Johns
toms battery, on James Island, where
they were d1snoun.ed by the Federal
troops, and have for over thirty years
been lying on the beach at James Island,
exposed to the weather. Two Of TIE
guns during recent years have been
completely buried by sand, and they
had to be dug up. The three pieces of
historic Confederate ordnance have
been brought to the city and will be
mounted. Two of them will be placed
in position in the Auditorium park, on
either side of the main entrance, while
the third will occupy prominent place
on the Battery, near the foot of Meet
ing street. These guns are only given
over to the custody ofthe City of Char
