A French explorer has discovered
in Siam a new species of ants. They
are gray in color, but the most inter-
esting thing about them is the man
ner in which they move from place
to place. They go in body, as
other ants do, but seem to have a
commanding officer, who directs their
movements con horseback" 80 to
speak. The explorer noticed, here
and there in the column, an ant
much larger than the others, whose
movements were also swifter, and
on its back was one of the ordinary
size, which seemed to be in COM
mand of the detachment. This ant
would ride to the head of the col
umn on its "horse," and then back
to the rear, precisely as if it were
ordering the line of march.

peullr, Keeping ! slds Issue,

The one natural and safe door for
the inexperienced is to make poultry
keeping q side issue until they learn
"what is what" and thus stand q
reasonable chance of avoiding the
pitfalls. On the city lot and the
VILLAGE acre fancy poultry keeping
ca hl,e started on small scale, or q
few hens can be kept for eggs and
the production of select table morsels.
a hen is a hen the world around, and
once her habits have been learned,
a long stride has been taken toward
mastering the poultry business. AS
for the farmer, what is more natural
than that he should develop poultry
keeping as side issue and follow it
to his hearts content2 His wife,
his son, or his daughter will take to
it as naturally rs duck to water.
They have at hand practically 9 cry
facility, in one form or another.
The farmer, of all others, is in posi-
tion to make money out of poultry.
He should make poultry-k keeping an
important part of his regular work,
for well-kept fowls will pay him a
larger return on his money than any
other farm product, bar none. Max
ing poultry keeping an important
adjunct to farm work, should receive
the best attention of the friends of
better poultry in every country on
the globe where poultry is grown for
market. All branches Of the busi-
ness are open to the average farmer.
In the United States hundreds of in
telligent farmers are not only poul-
trymen, but fanciers; these are men
who appreciate "beauty" as we'll as
"utility" in domestic animals and
fowl, and are governed accordingly.
Notable examples exist among Amer
ica's foremost fanciers of men who
hegan as farmers, making poultry
side issue, but how devote more
time to, and make more money out
of standard bred fowls than they do
out of farming. These were men
with love for the business and with
sufficient capacity to equal or excel
their various competitors in the same
line of effort; and 80 it is in every
line of human enterprise.

Activity In Fertilizers.

Charleston, February 16.-The move
ment OF fertilizers from the factories of
Charleston, which has already begun,
promises to be the heaviest on record.
According to estimates, made by the
railroads, the output will amount to
more than 100000 tons. This will require
at least 25,0O0 cars. With the present
car shortage and the general congestion
of the freights, agents are worried about
the conditions, as the business is such
that it has to be handled without delay.
Thus far, however, the railroads have
given the best service possible They
are unable to provide cars as rapidly as
last season. 1t is simply question of
cars, and the buyers are appreciating
this fact The fertilizer dealers think
that from the heavy demand, the farm
ers are preparing for larger cotton
acreage than for many years.

riIlInan FAMILY IA. ! Rssers d y!elsnss.

Z. j 4
Some years ago it was said of the
Aston family of this State that they
were famous for dying in their boots.
Tillmans, of Edgefeld, have rec
ord in this respect. William Till
man, the oldest brother of Senator
Tillman, was killed in battle in
Mexico. Oliver Tillman, another
brother, was shot to death by An
drew Neel, in Florida, while eating
dinner at hotel. Neel escaped
from Jail, went to Mississippi; was
Trial Justice there in 1871, and was
finally killed in his yard by young
man who was counting his daughter.
John Tillman, another of the Till
man brothers, was shot by George
Mays, kinsman and neighbor, while
driving along the road in the piney
woods near the homes of both men.
This tragedy occurred before the
war. John Tillman lived several
days and died in great agony. He
was handsome and brilliant man,
but reckless in conduct. Geo. ID.
Tillman, the late Congressman and
eminent statesman, stood on the
streets of Edgefeld, unarmed, when
a young man approached and opened
his bosom in bold defiance of Gen.
Weaver, who fired on him until
friend handed him a pistol. Nei-
ther man was hurt. Some time after
that this Geo. d. Tillman killed a
man by the name of Christian, at
Edgefeld. This was most unfor-
tunate affair and one which weighed
heavily on Mr.. Tillman throughout
his long life.
Now the last act in the bloody
drama is the killing of Editor N. G.
Gonzales by James HI. Tillman, eld-
est son of the late George d. Till
man, on the streets of Columbia last
Thursday. This final tragedy is not
in keeping with the record of the
Tillman family if the published
statements OF the shooting of Mr..
Gonzales be true. Gonzales was
unarmed and had slightly changed
the direction of his course to avoid
coming in too close contact with
Tillman, when, without a word of
warning, a pistol was thrust at him
and a ball sent through his body.
And then again was the murderous
weapon presented to repeat its
deadly work, when Gonzales cried,
"Shoot again, You coward" In the
presence of a defenseless, but brave
man, already shot to death, Tillman
lowered his pistol and walked away.
However great the wrong or deep
and cutting the injury that may have
been done Mr.. Tillman by Editor
Gonzales, where is there a man in
the light of civilization who can do
aught but condemn such an act? A
cold deed that takes from the world,
family and friends the life of an
unarmed and a defenseless man
without notice that his life is about
to be taken, to avenge wrong,
blood is shed, innocent people are
irreparably injured, the name of the
State held up to the severe criticism
of the country and the life of the
slayer ruined. This is the result of
the dire calamity which has befallen
the people of this Statc.-Greenwood

Murders In Bamberg.

Another killing has stained the
record of this county in regard to
the taking of human life, black os
it was before. A peace officer in the
discharge of his duty has been shot
down without warning and under
circumstances which declares the
orime to be murder in the first de-
gree. We would not do the man in
Jail, who is to be tried for HIS life, an
injustice, and when we call his act
murder we do so in no spirit of mall
ice. He shows no remorse over his
crime nor offers any excuse or justi-
fication for the deed. He acknowl-
edges the killing and says he would
have killed anybody who came to
his house to arrest him. He appears
to realize the enormity of his crime
and says that maybe it will cause
him to repent before he has to die,
Teyidently having come to the con.
fe aefe1sthat he will be hanged.
49, - hbepf5shis newspaper is at per-
S.ty to designate his crime as
murder, >for the man who did the
killing recognizes himself that it is
such. Whiskey caused the act.
While the slayer was not drunk, his
brain was fired, to some extent at
least, by whiskey, and was the result
of drunkenness and debauchery ex-
tending over period of several
years. There is--there can be-no
question of what a jury of twelve
men, sworn to do their duty, will
call this act. If we thought he would
not have to pay the full penalty of
the law we would want to leave
Bamberg county at once.
But public sentiment is largely re-
sponsible for this condition. This
man, Ignorant as he is, possibly
thought he could kill man and go
free, as others had. In the three
years that we have been here no less
than nine killings have occurred in
this county, some under circum-
stances about as bad as this, but the
slayers have not been hanged. Why ?
Let each one answer the question
for himself. There has been too
much sympathy for the living man
and too little regard for law and
order. 'Tis true this condition of
affairs prevails in every section of
South Carolina, but if we are ever to
reform things we must begin at home.
Let us sweep before our own doors
first. The remedy is plain and it
must be applied. If Bamberg
county jurors do not convict men of
murder we are going to have a reign
of mob law, and God knows no one
will regret it more than the writer.
But we know the temper of our
people. Never have we seen our
most substantial and law abiding
people more stirred. Their indigna-
tion is now expressed in words, but
action will come next. Let those
who have the enforcement of the
law in hand be warned in time, for
the signs are 40 plain that he who
runs may read. When cool, deliber
ate men take the law into their own
hands there is serious times ahead,
and God grant we may never see
such condition in Bamberg county.
Let US all do our duty as men and
citizens, whether on jurors or not,
and remove the shame from our
county and its people.-Bamberg
Herald.
