SEA ISLAND FARMING
As 1t Is Practiced in the Black belt
of south Carolina.

As 1t Is Practiced in the Black belt
of south Carolina.
Beaufort, S. c., April 17.-That the
negroes of the sea islands hereabouts,
still show marks of their pure African
decent. is as distinctly evident to-day,
as when they landed fresh from the
wilds of Africa hundreds of years ago.
Some of the men still wear rings in
their ears, and on their wrists and
ankles, while the women with their
gay turbans. and many colored bead
ed necklaces are of the picturesque
figures.
Their methods of agriculture are as
crude as one could we'll imagine. A
few days ago the following scene was
witnessed from real life. Some plow-
ing had to be done on one of their
farms. A young, unbroken, and learn
ed steer was produced to do the work
A rope about fifteen feet long was
tied around his head. This was held
by a boy at a safe distance in front
of the animal. Another pushed with
all his might between the pillow
handles, while another, and smaller
boy had hold of the bovines tail,
twisting 1t vigorously. The boy in
front seemed considerably alarmed for
his safety, and whenever he noticed
any slackening of the rope, would
cast a quick glance to the rear, to
see if he was coming" and dart out
Of the way with all possible speed.
To add to the difficulties along the
way, the patch had long been uncul-
tivated, and filled with bermuda roots,
and stubble. 1t may be prepared for
this seasons crops, but the chances
are rather against it.

DEAD IN WAITING ROOM.

Negro Was Found just as He Ex-
pired From Heart Disease.
valdosta, Ga, April 1.-THE employ
es of the Atlantic Coast Line were con-
siderably startled late yesterday even
ing by some one walking into the office
and announcing that there was a dead
man sitting in the colored waiting
room.
The employees made a hasty investi-
cation and found a negro man, named
John Harris, who had probably gone
there to wait for a train. on the seat
dead. He had been seized with heart
disease and died without a struggle
The man who informed the people In
the Office about his death passed by the
window and saw Harris breathe his
last. and was thus attracted to him.
He ran around to the door and the ne
gro was dead when he reached him.
