Horrible Russian Atrocities.

New York, May 15.--Letters re.
ceived to-day from eye witnesses OF
the Jewish massacre at Kishinev
Russia, give horrible details of the
outrages. One letter tells of the
murder of young girl. 1t says
"You surely remember Esther, beau
tiful Esther, daughter of Israel Bull
gar? Two weeks ago she was en-
gagged to young man from Uugheni
Now she is dead and she died a
frightful death. When the riots be-
gan she hid herself in cellar of
Alter Hahn Leibs. A young Russian
boy knew her hiding place. When
the murderers ran from house to
house robbing and killing the Jews
this boy pointed out to them Esther's
hiding place. About ten strong
men entered the cellar. Esther's
terrible cries of agony were heard
throughout the street for over an
hour. Then she was dragged out.
Her clothing was torn from her
body. The faces of the men were
scratched. There stood Esther bent
and crying. In the meantime one
man came from the cellar cursing
and holding his hand to his wounded
eye. He snatched a long knife from
his girdle and plunged it into Esther's
back. She fell down dead. Better

Treatment of Mich Cows.

Spartanburg Spartan A very fine
scrub COW in the city dropped calf
in January. For nearly ten weeks
she was stiff, almost helpless and ap.
paTently worthless. She has recov-
cred at last. She had been in a pas
ture during the last summer and was
fed on hay until two months before
she dropped her calf. A liberal sup
ply of cotton seed meal was then
given her. Lately two fine, fat milch
cows have died in the city. Their
calves were only a few days old.
Without consulting veterinary sur
geon we should say that these cattle
had too little exercise and too much
feed before dropping calves. Some
people boast of their COWS that give
good flow of milk up to the day of
dropping their calves. We wish to
state positively that we do not want
such milk or the butter made there
from. People who keep COWS up all
the time should quit milking six to
eight weeks before calving. Rich,
milk-producing food should be cut
off. 1t is best to send them ont to a
pasture, where they can get exercise.
Then for ten days after the birth of
the calf the grain and meal food
should be very light. Under such
conditions there is little danger of
milk fe""r and fatal inflammation.

free press. We can forgive it, too,
for the sake of his early and un-
daunted patriotism at ga time that
tried mems souls" That devotion
was recognized by Jefferson The i'm
mortal author of the Declarat on of
independence, who declared that that
declaration had no stronger supporter
in the Continental Congress than
John Adams. These two great souls
had become estranged for some years,
as a result of the bitter party spirit
that lifted the one into the Presi-
dency aud the other out of it. But
when both were private citizens, the
old friendship was revived by JEFF
ferson writing very tender and con-
siderate letter to Adams on hearing
of the death of his accomplished wife.
The letter was duly acknowledged
and anwered tenderly, and in the
spirit of true friendship. The cor
respondence continued with little
interruption till short time before
their death, which occurred on the
fourth of July, 1926. Adams, a
little while before his death, sent a
toast to a patriotic convention in
session at Quincy. The sentiment
was Independence now and inde-
pendence forever" Then he in
quired whether Jefferson yet lived.
The day before the latter died, the
Sd of July, he prayed that, if in
accordance with the Divine will, he
might be permitted to see another
Fourth of July. His wish was
granted, and on the fourth of July,
1926, about two hours before Adams
breathed his last, he yielded up his
spirit, both feeling as they left the
land they 80 much loved, and for
whose welfare they spent their
heightened lives, that they were 60
ing to ga better country, that is a
heavenly"

Card from Col. D. p. Duncan.

To the Editor of The State: In
your issue of this date there is a
statement from Mr.. J. B. Douthit as
to the status of the Farmers State
Alliance Exchange fund. l have no
criticism to make of Mr.. Douthit's
statement. But some of my friends
have asked mo to make some expla-
nation as to that overdraft made by
d. p. Duncan for $3.50. This over
draft was made by d. p. Duncan,
manager Alliance Exchange, with
the full knowledge of the officers of
the bank, with the understanding
that the same would be paid from
the first dividends paid by the bank.
The current expenses of the State
Exchange had always been paid by
the interest derived from the capital
stock of the Exchange. The bank
met with some very serious losses, so
much so that it was decided that
until the bank could recover from
these losses that no dividends be
paid I; but to avoid closing the Tx
change l made the arrangement re-
ferred to above and this overdraft
was allowed. AS soon as the bank
had recovered itself and it's stock
was worth par by the careful and
astute management of Mr.. J. p.
Matthews, cashier, and Mr.. f. H..
Weston, president, the bank now be-
ing in position to make money and
pay dividends, came the proposition
to sell the bank stock and close up
the Exchange. I did all l could to
hold the bank stock and maintain
the Exchange, but the majority de-
cided otherwise and | have had nor
made no objection to their decision.
The same capital stock of $17,500 is
to-day worth $4,000 premium, making
$21, 500, under the reorganization Of
the Palmetto Loan and Trust Com
pany. This stock is to-day worth
$1.1O and has paid 8 per cent divi-
dend for the past three years.

Jacksonville is Swept by Flood.

Jacksonville, Fla, May 13.-A
heavy northeaster has been blowing
for the past few days, accompanied
with driving rains. Last night and
this morning it was unusually heavy.
Reports from the State say that
much damage has been done to tur-
pentine camps, phosphate plants, etc.
Farmers will suffer much and in
some sections early vegetables and
fruit have been damaged. Along
the coast damage will be done. One
schooner wrecked and one damaged
was last weeks record, and it will be
fortunate if this terrible gale now
prevailing does not add to this list.
Big tides and heavy rains have
flooded the lower portions of the
city and boats are being used on
several streets. At the waterworks
the doors had to be damned to keep
the water out Of the furnaces. The
terminal station and all approaches
are three to five feet under water.
In the railroad yards the floods are
rushing through at six mile speed {.
The water is rising and much dam
age is threatened if it goes much
higher. 1t is the worst and highest
water flood ever in this city.
The storm continues with heavy
rains. No trains have arrived to-
day, nor any mails. Trains cannot
get within half a mile of the union
station. Reports from the State say
all the railroads are in bad shape
from flooding of the tracks.
Many houses in the negro sections
have been washed away.

particulars are as follows: Mr.. Lane

on the plantation. Being larger and
stronger, Stewart forced Mr.. Lane
into the barnyard, where he felled
him and was attempting Mr.. Lanes
life when Mrs. Lane came upon the
scene with pistol and ordered the
negro to desist and was answered by
Stewart that he would kill both.
Upon being told by her husband to
shoot, Mrs. Lane shot the negro, the

suited. Luckily, the pistol had only
one remaining load in its chambers,
and Stewart kept swapping it to no
further avail. When last heard from
the negro was still alive, but has a
death wound to which it is expected
he will succumb. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lane are prominent people, and the
affair is greatly deplored by them,
but was inevitable.

This ia one result of OIL 'nvestiga.
tion of post Office affal.. nd of the
discovery that at the present rate of
increase in the number of routes
there would be deficit of $4,000
- in the rural free delivery service by
the end of the fiscal year. Instruc.
tions have been given to Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bris-
tow to curtail expenditures by dis
continuing the daily establishments ts
of routes, and it is expected that the
threatened deficit will be averted
1t is not intended, however, that
the investigation of proposed routes
shall be suspended, and the field
work, therefore, will continue. Mr..
Payne estimated that the total num-
Der of routes fairly entitled to be
established in the entire country
would be $4,000, and that at the
present rate of increase this would
be reached two years hence.
Mr.. Payne said last night that he
had asked the civil service commits
sion to have its representatives. make
an investigation of the Washington
post office in addition to the investi-
cation already made by post Office
inspectors. He said this action was
taken on account of charges of vio-
lations of the civil service law in that
office. The civil service men, he
said, will make their report to-day.
