Columbia S. c., March 13.-As Control
Ter General Derham is about to distribute
100000 of dispensary profits to counties
for public schools, and as the distribution
is made on the basis of reported enroll
ment quite a stir has been created by the
result of an examination of the reports
from the different counties.
Superintendent of Education Wallace of
Richland has called the attention of the
controller to the matter and asked for an
investigation. He thinks some heavy
padding" is being done somewhere. Ac-
cording TO reports, 20 per cent of the
states population is enrolled in the
schools. Richland county, with many
schools in the county and Columbia's ex-
tensive city schools, shows Is per cent. of
population enrolled Saluda, a new coun-
ty, and a poor one with only country
schools, shows an enrolment of 26ia per
dent. of population. Charleston county,
with Charleston expensive and largely
attended graded schools, shows but 1112
per cent enrolled, while Edgefeld has "a
per cent.
Twenty-Five counties show an average
enrolment much larger than the reported
average for the state, while the other six
teen counties have a smaller percentage.
And in those sixteen counties are contain
ed the counties having the heaviest special
school taxes, and supposed to be in the
front rank of public school education.

SUGAR CANE PLANTING.
some Instructions i'm Regard TO IT,
The Time of Planting and the
Manner of Cultivation.

some Instructions in Regard to IL.
The Time of Planting ana the
Manner of Cultivation.
Now is the time for planting cane. The
land should be well prepared, layed off in
five-feet rows and bedded. Plant the cane
in the water furrow, fertilzing with
about 400 pounds commercial fertilizer per
acre. Al the last ploughing of cane
there should be from 200 to 400 pounds GU
ano to the acre put in the middle of the
rows, making in all 600 to 800 pounds per
acre.
Thus enriched, should make 400 gallons
of unadulterated syrup to the acre. Syrup
that will stand a test of thiry-four de-
grees by the saecharometer at boiling heat
This is my method of evaporation: The
juice Is prepared by running ii from the
mill into a vat three feet deep packed
with black moss, which filters and takes
out all foreign substance possible. The
juice is then pumped into a cypress vat
twenty feet long by four feet wide and
fourteen inches deep, with eleven steam
pipes running the entire length. Steam
which can be easily regulated is turned
on, juice cooked and SKINNED until
about half done, when 1t is turned into
another vat like first and cooked until
the saccharometer will stand "a degrees
boiling heat. The syrup is then ready to
be drawn off into a large cypress vat for
barreling. By this process make 400 to
800 gallons per day, or !, 100 to 1900 gallons
by running night and day. This method
of manufacturing gives u syrup of uni
form grade of finest quality. and will not
ferment in the spring. 1 have syrup now
made two years ago, that is pronounced
as good as when first made. Cane is not
only profitable for producing syrup and
sugar. but the fodder and tops are valua-
BILE for stock The fodder and tops should
be raked up the second day after il is
stripped, and stacked as corn fodder.
This is the finest cattle feed, as they
eat it as readily as timothy hay. 1t will
pay the cost of cultivation.
In conclusion 1 will say that syrup
should not only be made by a saccharome-
ter, but it should be bought and sold by
the same guage.
1t is not fair to offer a standard syrup
In competition with a syrup that will
only register 81 to 80 degrees by the
saccharometer. II. j, James.

HOMICIDE IN JOHNSON.
Young Man Named Mcdaniel Killed
by Unknown Parties.

Dublin, Ga. March 13.-Yesterday news
reached the city Of the assassination in
johnson county Sunday night last of Mr..
Bug" Mcdaniel.
Mcdaniel was at the house of Mandy
Stewart, woman of the half world and
was called to the door by some one from
the outside. AS soon as he appeared in
the doorway he was shot twice in the
breast with gun loaded with buckshot,
and several times with a pistol
On Monday an inquest was held. the
jury rendering a verdict that Mcdaniel
came to his death by the hands of I'M
known parties. 1t is said that the Stew
arr woman and a woman named Kersey
swore that they did not know of McDan-
iefs death until Monday morning, but
a young son of Mandy Stewart swore that
his mother knew of the killing the night
before, and asserted that a man we'll
known in the community had committed
the crime.
MCDANIEL bore an unsavory reputation
Some years ago he was tried in Laurens
Superior Cour on the charge of attempt
ing TO assassinate Capt d. f. Williams
of Brewton. but came clear of the
charges.
1t is probable that McDanieTs slayers
will never be brought to justice
Yesterday afternoon in this city, Mr.
William Stripping, prosperous young
farmer of this county, formerly of Screv-
en- county, was thrown from his wagon
by a runaway mule and severly huct.

about o'clock Mrs. W. c. Butler. on
Parallel street, was sitting in her room,
when the window blinds were suddenly

She called TO her daughter to bring a

went TO the home of Mr.. Jesse Z. Butler,
q few yards distant. and made an effort
to open the door, but was frightened
away.
Mr.. Butler came home about $50 and
when his wife told him of the occur
renee he called for Officers Cottingham

The dogs were put on the track and, af-
ter moving around in the porch a few
minutes they made for Uncle" Jesse
Buffers house, and from there made a
bee line for the home of Rev. Wesley
Cooper, a negro circuit rider. Officer Cot
tingham knocked on the door, and the
negro called out to know who was there.
When told who it was the negro re-
fused to open the door.
The officer finally forced his
way in and grappled with the preacher,
who raised an ugly billet Of wood and at
tempted to strike the officer.
In some way the negro got out, and sue
ceeded in making good his escape. The
officers fired at him two or three times,
