-Scanlon VIII Live.

Webster, Oct. 18-Previous to the
convention Mr.. Clemans received letters
from such men as Hon. T. C. Bates,
Curtis Guild, Jr., Senator Hoar, George
L. Clemence and Hon. C. C. Corbin, and
others, hoping he would secure the
nomination for representative and ask
ing what he wanted them to do for
him. But in the face of even such sup
port as this, few of the delegates got
together and decided to throw him, it
is said, simply because he was friend
of Joseph P. Love- the democratic can
dldate, and a man he had been brought
up with.
The story was started that if Glenn
ans was nominated, he and Love would
have worked together, but both de-
nounced 1T as campaign lie.
AFTER DE COONs.
The party of coon hunters, compris-
ing Hector Dupre of New Haven, Conn.,,

eight coons and any quantity of birds,

The condition of Peter Scanlon, who
was injured in attempting to stop a
runaway at the East Webster mills,
yesterday afternoon, is low, but it is
thought he will be able to pull through
unless something unforeseen sets in.
1t is a miracle that he was not in
stantly killed. The horse first stepped
on his foot and crushed it. and then
the wheels of the heavy truck passed
over him. The wagon itself weighed
about 1900 pounds, and it was loaded
with 1000 pounds, and had the man
been laying on rail, he would have
been cut in two. The driver of the
runaway Michael Dwyer, was thrown
out and severely bruised.

SHEEP RAISING IN SOUTH
CAROLINA.
Fri State Farmer and Gardener

Fri State Farmer and Gardener.
At your solicitation, | will en-
deavor to answer the questions
which you sent me in referer &C to
the advantages the South offers as
sheep. breeding country.
l have been raising sheep here
for the past nineteen years and |
am very much pleased with my
success in the business. The adj
vantages fere are various, viz:
First, our climate usually is mild
in winter and not too hot in sum-
mer for the welfare of the sheep.
Second, our lands are undulating
enough for good drainage, and
furnish quite variety of nutri>
tiOuS grasses and weeds of which
the sheep are very fond, as they
relish a change of food: and last,
but not least, we have the japan
clover botanical namo Lespedeza
striata) in the greatest abundance.
The abOVe-named clover serves a
two>fold purpose, being the best
of grazing foods for sheep, as it
never gets to be too coarse and
the analysis of it is higher than
that of any other clover. We do
not have to SOW it. | never knew
any one to SOW il in this country.
1t first made its appearance in the
South about 1860, and since then
it has become indigenous to the
soil. 1t is a wonderful renOvator
of land that has become exhausted
by lnludiciouS treatment. If the
Southern farmers would use a
portion of the land that they are
now wearing out making five cent
cotton for II sheep pasture, and
after using it few years for u
pasture, cultivate it and use an
other portion for pasture, they
will not only find sheep raising Il
pleasant and profitable business,
but will find that they have learn
ed the secret of how to cause
two blades of grass to grow where
only one grew BEFORE, " as their
crops will be more than doubled
on account of being enriched bN

In South Carolina cotton cons

In Florida the condition of cot>

of Anna Brooke.

OAKLAND, March 15-Mrs. H. ].
Brooke and her surviving daughter, who
were found sick and starving in the Oak
land House Sunday night, are greatly i'm
proved and in a fair way to recover. The
daughter Anna, who died Sunday night
was buried yesterday. The death GER
tificate, signed by DR.. J. j. Caldwell, who

gives the cause of death as pneumonia
with want and destitution as contributory
and determining causes.
DR.. j. p. H. Dunn, the Health Officer
who first ministered to the needs and suf-
fering of the family, as well as the police
are indignant over the alleged negligence
of the Associated Charities. They say
that when the case was reported to Mrs

Here was a life that could have beer
saved under favorable conditions said
Dr Dunn to-day, referring to the death OF

was warm, sunny room and proper
nourishment. 1t was not afforded this
young woman and she died. At a small
expenditure suitable building could be
put up and the city could not expend ar
