BAy STATE OF AFFAIRS REPORTED.
Officers Attacked By InfuriatedNegro
r1ob.

Governor McSweeRey has received
letter from st. Georges in which
complaint is made that a mob Of ne
groes attacked r. w. Minus, Jr., depu-
ty sheriff for Dorchester county, and
R. E. Minus, marshal for the town Of

had in custody Rufus Neal, who ID
wanted on the charge Of murder. Tha
mob Of negroes, with weapons drawns
managed to get the negro criminaS-
away and as the officers were onl$
Lightly armed and could offer no ef-.
fective resistance the prisoner made
good his escape. The inhabitants
think IL such high handed outrage Is
not dealt with that it will have very
bad effect and Gov McSweeney has
been called upon to offer a reward,
which it is thought will assist IN
bringing about the arrest Of those who
took part in the release Of Neal and
in the display of violence. Neal is
wife murderer for whose capture and
conviction a reward of s100 had been
offered. The officers who were as
saulted had been after him. They
heard that he was at Sha y Grove
camp meeting, and went there to
make the arrest. The governors in
dormant of the affair states that as
soon as Neal saw the officers he took
to flight, calling loudly for help A
lasge number of drunken and infuri-
ated negroes, armed with firearms,
sticks and bludgeons, went to Meals
assistance, attacked the officers and
wounded both seriously, and actually
took Neal from the deputy sheriff, who
had him under arrest. Neal at the
present time would un 1oubtedly have
been behind the bars had 1t not been
for Tie high-handed interference or
the mob" Il is added that Neal has
been living in his cabin and that ne
has the sympathy OF the negroes. Mar

GLASS HOUSES.


The Uses the Farmer Can Make OF
Them-The cold Grnpery.
The use of glass houses for growing
plants, flowers aud vegetables or all
kinds is far more prevalent than II was
40 or 90 years ago. Then hothouses, or
greenhouses, as they were generally
called were almost exclusively the lux
uries of the very wealthy. Next they

during winter and produce more sets
for spring planting. Now the green
house with steam heat is becoming
recognized as one of the most impor-
taut and best paying adjuncts of ey-
cry farm whose owner has the skill
and intelligence required TO run il.
The greenhouse opens a new field of
industry. 1t provides interesting. in
structiye and profitable employment
during months when farm operations
consist only in the feeding OF stock
and the consumption of large part OF
what the farm has produced during the
summer.
1t does not cost nearly so much to
put up glass houses now and lit them
out with steam heat as it did 4 gen
Grafton ago. The creation of such an
establishment on any farm must add
far more to its selling value than the
cost, and the farmer must be indeed
poor manager if he cannot by its use
forward the vegetables he Will himself

than all the cost of keeping il in OPP
Grafton. Besides there is the luxury
of maintaining bit Of summer with
all kinds Of green things growing for

There is hardly anything that very lit

house where the air, though moist, is
kept at summer heat.
Glass is now made so cheaply and
greenhouses are so little expense that
they are profitably used for growing
many things for market that were for
merly grown out of doors. All the
best foreign varieties of grapes are
grown by some of the leading nursery
men in cold graperies. where no heat
is used. and the vines are resting dur
ing the winter just the same as they do
out of doors. But under glass in the
cold grapery the buds will start sew
eral weeks earlier than they can in the
open air. The grapes will not be chill
ed at night by dews. as they are out of
doors even during most Of the summer
months Hence they will ripen with
out mlidewing the foliage or having
the fruit attacked by fungus.
In concluding the foregoing sug-
gestive article The American Guilt
vator says that to some extent the
growers Of native grapes are taking n
hint from the cold grapery under glass.
If a native vine is trained so TINT some
of its fruit is ripened under protect
ing awning. such fruit will be much
finer and better than it ever can be
grown on parts of the vine that are not
thus protected.
