ANOTHER BIG HOUSE

Another crowded house greeted the
Elleford Company at the Orpheum last
night in their production of "A Man OF
Mystery" This melodrama is bright
and sparkling and there is a great deal
of wit slowed away in the lines which
are cleverly brought to the surface by
the clever acting on the part of the
members Of the company.

Florence, March 7.--By taking Il
bold and fearless stand against
party of masked mon Sheriff Burch
last night avorted lynching in
Floronco county.
Under virtue Of the sheritf's
promise for an Immediate trial the
negro rapist, Julius Gibbs, every
thing was thought to be quiet, and
there WAS really no fear Of Il lynch
ing. Things turned out differently,
however, toward morning. About 3
o'clock no less than so mon, it is
thought, appeared at the Jail door and
demanded the surrender of the pris.
oner. All were masked aud fully
armed, and from tho way they wont
about tho work, seemed determinded
to have the negro at any cost.
The sheriff himself armed, wont to
the door and refused emphnticully
to give way an inch. A part of tho
crowd had gone in the meunt,me to
the rear door, and throaten"d to bat
ter it down. Here deputies had been
stationed and the mon outside looked
into the mnzzle of WinchesterH They
w"r" told that to enter the jail monnt
instant death. No further violence
WAS thrca,cned
When Sheriff Burch cuoly stated
to the crowd at tho front that he
meant to protect the prisoner with
his life if necessary, he was covered
with II gun and some ono oxtin-
guishod the ono lantern that shed
feeble light on the scene. Again
the demand was made, but tho sheriff
never wavered from his d"tnrmina-
ton. His coolncss and that of his
deputies seemed to have an effect
upon tho ardor of tho would be
| lynchers, and taking advantage Of
tho opportunity tho sheriff began TO
reason with tho mon. He explained
his situation fully, and told OF the
arrangements that wore being made
for prompt trial.
Vh" mob remained at the inil for
over half an hour but finally went
away without accomplishing their
end.
Sheriff Bnrch did not rrcognizn
any of the mon in the party, and
says the spokesmon mate evident
effort to disguise their voices. 1t is
thought they came from the neigh.
borhood Of the community where the
crime upon the person Of Mrs.
Haynes was committed yesterday
afternoon. Sheriff Burch is to be
congratulated upon the stand he
took and ita successful issue.
Gibbs confessed his guilt to his
father yesterday evening at tho jnil.
The old man turned his back upon
his son, leaving him without even u
goodbye. The father is highly re-
spected by the Whites
Solicitor John S. Wilson arrived
this afternoon and is making ar
rangoments for the extra term Of
court which the law allows in such
cases. The jury will doubtless be
drawn tomorrow. 1t is desired to
have the court convened as soon as
possibly. Sheriff Burch, Ivy way Of
precaution, has increased tn" guard
at the Jail, and if any further at
tempt is made to get the negro,
there will undoubtedly be bloodshed.

TO Editors News and Courier:
Farmers from various sections OF
tho state have boon writing, asking
about the advisabiiity of feeding
horses and mules on cotton seed meal
and hulls, and also asking for Il
cheaper ration than corn.
The following prices are given in
letter from Scranton, S. c.: Corn,
$40 per ton; oats, $45 per ton; wheat,
bran, $25 per ton; cotton seed meal,
$2o per ION; rice meal, 500 per ton.
or course, corn and oats arc out of
the question as q food for horses and
mules at the above prices--so some
thing cheaper must be looked for.
The analysis shows that rice meal
has about the same composition as
corn meal, and we have found that
it is just rs good for feeding pigs.
We have fed it to horses with good
results. | think wo are safe in say
ing that 1t may be used in place Ct
corn, pound for pound.
If no hay or fodder is used in the
ration and hulls are rosorted to as
roughness, some nitrogenous food,
such as bran or cotton seed meal,
must be used to supply protein.
Hulls may bo fed without any foar
Of injury to the animal. Should they
refuse to eat the huIla little corn
meal or bran s2rinkled over the sur
face will help to break them to it.
A good ration may be made up as
| follows:

Zen pounds OF cotton seed hulls,

The above is for horse or mule OF

1t is evident that a ration made ur

much more than the above.

hulls to horses with good results,
but the experiments along this line
have not been extensive enough tc

in unlimited quantities for any
