There IS no doubt about there
being able to overcome all the
difficulties by the time another
standard is issued.
There has been a good deal OF
controversy respecting theprop-
er shade of buff. A majority of
Breeders and judges seem to fa-
wor a medium or light medium.
How to get this color in surface
and have it even and sound, and
at the same time get rich
andercolor, is a problem in scien-
tific mating. 1t is the most diff
cult Of all ends to be attained. 1t
can be reached not at bound,
but only by years of patient
study and breeding in line.

the same. | find that the best
results come from select ng both
male and female as near like as
possible and those nearest to
those that are wanted.
Every Buff Rock breeder who
seHars stock for sale has numer-
ssus inquiries for birds that are
up to Standard requirements in
all points. Particularly for
birds with solid buff wings and
Gala point that even the Buff
Cocbins, old as they are, do not
reach. Birds with solid Buff
wings are now quite common. a
little later on we shall have them
with solid buff tails also.
Good matings are a strong
point in breeding, but only a
starting point. Conditions must
be favorable to bring good re-
suits. Chickens must be kept
growing right from the start,
and should have unlimited range
with proper feed, plenty of
shade, and clean water.
The best feed that we have
found for growing chicks of this
variety is yellow corn, ground
and cracked at first, and whole a
little later. Some time ago the
writer farmed out several lots of
chicks. One lot was fed wholly
on wheat and wheat screenings,
after they were large enough to
eat it. They did well, but lacked
the bright, beautiful buff color
which these birds show at their
best. Another lot never had
any feed from start but corn,
ground and cracked, at first, and
whole corn as soon as they could
eat it. These chicks were worth
more than double what the
others were, with no better care,
their color being simply grand.
People sometimes laugh at this
idea, but it is true nevertheless.
This variety is now not only
taking the lead as fancier's
ideal, but as a market fowl also,
they being hardy, and quick of
growth. With proper care, from
the time they are out Of the she'll
they are plump and sparely, al

flesh while they are maturing.

Wheat Growers Convention.
Greenville News.

Greenville News.
The wheat growing people about
Greenwood and the people of the
town have decided to call con.
vention of wheat growers of this
State, to meet the latter part of
August.
A convention was held in Ma
con, recently by the wheat grow
ers of Georgia which has resulted
in an enthusiastic determination
of Georgia farmers to give more
time, more acreage and more at
tention to this branch of farming
industry.
The same result can be accom-
plished in this State.
1t is the intention of the pro
moters of the Greenwood Conven.
tion to have number of wheat
growers from Tennessee, North
Carolina and Virginia present, to
give information and also meth
ods practiced in raising wheat in
those States.
There has always been com
plant that raising wheat in this
State has not paid; that the crop
is too often failure; that our
soil and climate, or something
else, are not suitable for success
fully growing grain.
1t is not proposed or expected
that South Carolina will compete
With the great wheat growing
States of the West; but it is GER
tain that we can cease to pay tri-
butte to those States and make our
own bread. We buy their flour
and they buy nothing from us and
the balance of trade is always in
their favor. Keep the money at
home which we send to the West
for -four and improve our farms
and farming industries.
A good farmer, who makes his
own bread and meat, said the oth>
er day, that wheat straw paid all
the expenses of his wheat crop.
n A Craig, of the Greenwood
Craig Milling company, is promo
ting the scheme for the conven.
tion, and is backed by Greenwood,
and there is no reason why the
farmers should not take hold of
the matter and make it a great
success.
This is another step in diversi-
flying crops, and there is good
money in 1t and farmers should
make arrangements to be in
Green wood.

A FIENDISH CRIME COMMIT
TED By NEGROES.
Two of Them Assault Mrs J f.
Ogletree in Presence of Her
Husband Mt Stafford, Ga.

Decatur county has been stirred
from its northern limits to the
Florida line by the enOrmity of
crimes heaped upon j f Ogletree
and his wife last night at their
home in the little station of SaffoId,
on the Plant line, few miles
from here, by two negroes. About
s O'Clock two negroes entered the
store of MIR. Oglolree which ad-
joins the depot and made few
trivial purchases. When the sales
were completed Mr. Oglctrcc asked
for his money. At his demand
one of the negroes presented 4
pistol at the agents head and
said: "I owe you nothing. We
are robbers and want your
money"
Ogletree emptied his pockets,
the other negro standing guard at
the front door. Then the two
negroes ordered OgIetree to march
up stairs, where Mrs OgIetree was
and they ordered her to give up
what money she had.
She gave them 81 and while
one of the brutes held pistol to
Ogletree's head, the other as
baIuted her. Then the other com
mitted the same deed. About
this time train was heard coming
to the station and the negroes
fled in the direction of the Chat
tahoochee river.
When OgIetree managed to
bring himself to u realization of
what had happened, he took his
wife and boarded a train for this
city. Sheriff Patterson was in
formed of the crime at once and
took action at daylight. Several
posses were Immediately sworn in
and with dogs in the lead started
in various directions to find some
clue to the negroes Everybody
in the vicinity has quit work and
is assisting the posses in their
search. If the blacks are caught
their quick death is certainty.
Mrs Ogletree Is sister of VIM
Buchanan, county treasurer, and
comes of well known family.
THE OUTRAGE AVENGED.
Savannah, July 23.-A special
to The Morning News from Balm.
bridge, Ga, says:
Since the dastardly crime COM
mitted at Stafford in Early county
last Thursday night hunting parties
have been out in search of the
guilty negroes. One of the ne
groes appeared at an old darkcy 5
hut near Brinson, GA, and asked
to be harbored. The old man
went to Brinson and informed of
his presence. A posse returned
with him and captured the negro,
who gave his name as Louis Sam
min. The man was taken to SAT-
ford, where he was identified bv
MIR and Mrs Ogletree as one of
their assailsnts. Ho said there
were eight negroes in his gang,
and that they came from Augusta.
ne said two of the gang were not
far away. pne portion of the mob
went In pursuit of those two,
while the Others hung Ssmmin
and riddled his body. The other
two wore overtaken, shot
and scalped, a party bringing
their scalps to Stafford this eve-
ming. A hundred determined men
with blood hounds are after the
remaining five of the gang, and,
if caught, they will be lynched.
