Tough on the Hog.

"Mcn ale just like hogs, how
ever distusteful it may sound to
the hog says writer in an ex-
change. "When a hog gets an
enr of corn, every hog will trot
along behind him and squeal and
whine for n bite, but just let the
front hog get caught with its head
fast IN n crack and every son of
SOW will jump on him and tear
him to pieces; Just so with men.
AS long a. a man is prosperous
and has money he can't keep
friends off with base ball bat.
The moment be is unfortunate
and his wealth is gone he is not
only snubbed by former alleged
friends, but they at once begin to
do him all the harm possible.
When a man starts down grade
the world steps aside and greases
the track"

GRAIN ELEVATOR BURNED.
Loss of Nearly Million Dollars
is Entailed.

Toledo, o., July %. The Gin
cinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
elevator, located in East Toledo
was totally destroyed by fire to-
night and the loss on buildings
and contents is nearly a million
dollars. 1t is not known how much
insurance is on the 100000 BUSH
els of wheat, but on the building
there is S1S5, 900 in various com
panies.
A small blaze in the cupola was
seen from the outside by passer-
by. A fire alarm was turned in,
but before the department could
reach the place a terrific explosion
occurred that rocked the founda-
tions of surI ounding buildings.
The building was almost immedi-
ately enveloped in flames and
within 10 minutes another and
more terrific explosion occurred
which tore out the entire side Of
the building near the river, and
it was this explosion that hurled
the watchman, w f WeIch, who
was in the building, out of the
flame and saved his life. He was
only slightly injured.
The actual loss to the company
will he in the neighborhood of
S75, 900, while the grain which is
on consignment will be almost a
total loss to the shippers. The
quickness of the fire leads to the
opinion that some of the grain will
be saved in damaged condition.
The fire department claims spon-
taneouS combustion was the origin
of the fire.

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
DDS practiced in raising wheat in
those States.
There has always been a 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 bl cad 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 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 FlENDISH CRIME COMMIT
TED BY NEGROES.
Two of Them Assault Mrs J f.
Ogletree in Presence of Her
Husband ut Stafford, Ga.

y
Decatur county has been stirred
from its northern limits to the
Florida line by the enormity of
crimes heaped upon } f OgIetree
and his wife last night at their
home in the little station of Saffold,
on the Plant line, few miles
from here, by two negroes. About
s O'Clock two negroes entered the
store of Mr.. Oglelree which ad-
joins the depot and made few
trivial purchases. When the sales
were completed Mr. Ogletrcc asked
for his money. At his demand
one Of the negroes presented Il.
pistol at the agents head and
said: 81 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 Ogletrce to march
up stairs, where Mrs Ogletrec was
and they ordered her to give up
what money she had.
She gave them 81 and while
one of the brutes held Il pistol to
Ogletree's head, the other as
saluted 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 Oglstree managed 10
bring himself to realization of
what had happened, he took his
wife and boarded 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 a certainty.
Mrs Ogletree Is n sister of VIM
| Buchanan, county treasurer, and
comes of Il well known family.
THE OUTRAGE AVENGED.
Savannah, July %. A special
to The Morning News from Balm
bridge, Ga, says:
Since the dastardIy 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 by
MIR and Mrs Ogletree as one OF
their assaiIants. He said there
were eight negroes in his gang,
and that they came from Augusta.
ne said two of the gang were not
far away. nne portion of the mot
went in pursuit of those two,
while the others hung Sammir
and riddled his body. The Other
two were overtaken, shot
and scalped, a party bringing
their scalps to Stafford this eve
ming. A hundred determined mer
with blood hounds are after tn,
remaining FIVE of the gang, and
if caught, they will be lynched.
