Corn FOR POULTRY Y-Corn is one Of
the staples as poultry food, and y, t we
can trace a large per cent of the fail
urcs to its obusc. | given to fowls
daily 1t will produce fat and this in
time completely ruins the fowl SO far
rs laying is concerned, but If fed in
moderation, as change from oats,
wheat and peas, it makes an almost
indispensable supply. 1t is excellent
also for growing chickens, but these, as
with the old fowl, it must be fed
sparingly. During very cold weather
without corn it is well nigh impossi-
bic to keep the hens laying, but even
then best results are obtained by par
TALLY roasting it. For fattcning poul-
try for market meal takes first place,
and the work can be accomplished sew
cral days quicker than when other is
used. When preparing poultry for
market feed all they will eat but
when feeding hens for eggs let corn be
only an occasional feed, or only u par
tial ration If given daily. Oats should
be the principal grain food for laying
hens, the corn being used simply as q
change. When thus fed it produced
most excellent results.

Forty Days of Fair Weather.

Last Wednesday was St. Swithin's
day and according to an old legend If
the day is clear, forty days of cloud
less weather will ensue. The old
legend runs as follows. Swlthin was
the bishop OF Winchester and most
dcvout man. His death took place in
1892, and, in accordance with his
wishes, he was buried in the church
yard where the sweet rain of heayen''
could fall on his grave. When the
bishop was canonized an attempt was
made by the clergy to remove the
body from the church yard to the
choir OF the cathedral as a mark Of
much greater honor, July l5-was set
for the removal but when the day
came it rained in such torrents that
the plan could not be carried into cf-
feet. 1t continued to rain for 40 days
aftcrward by which time the clergy
were fully convinced that the good
bishop, now the saintcd Swithin, was
satisfied to have his bones remain
where they were, and they let them
rest there.

COMING HOME TO R0OsT.
The North Beginning to Get Back
Their Lost Chickens.

.
Their Lost Chickens.
We do not want the people Of the
North and West to judge the negroes
of the South by the Vagabonds who
are committing all manner Of crimes
among them. There are plenty Of
good negroes IN the South, and tile
ones who commit the crimes OF rape
and assassination are the vicious ones
among us, and we feel sure the same
is true everywhere. A writer in the
Augusta Chronicle says:
The recent brutal outrageS per-
petrated by the negro In Indiana,
Illinois, Delaware and other northern
localities furnish happy Illustrations
of his marvellous progress in moral
culture during forty years freedom and
would seem to suggest this as an ap-
prOpriate time for our brethren across
the line to pass around the hat for
another monument to John Brown.
While the collection is being taken

righteous zeal by singing,

the tide Of time the chickens turned
loose by bayonet suffrage, political

n Routing Fool.

One brave man has developed in Illi-
nois. TO the Chicago Chronicle he
says, speaking Of the negro II think
that one who is Industrious, honest
and true to his country is thousand
times better and more to be esteemed
than 4 million Of rebels whose claim
to superiority is bottomcd only upon
the possession OF Il white hide" The
Columbia State says at latest ac-
counts this man had not been lynched.
or course he meant to say o ''half
million rebels" for it was that num-
bcr which kept the two million Of the
true to his country" and ''h0t for a
bounty interested for four years.
The survivors have been cndeavoring
even since to keep the surplus in the
treasury reduced. But the Illinois
water is not-a survivor; at least 500
miles separated him from the nearest
skirmish lines.

The Rnce Question.

The race question is attracting con-
siderable attention at the North, and
tits being discussed by the papers OF
that section in a way that 1t has never
been discussed before. The Indiana
polls Scntinll says: "The situation
is serious. 1t is likely to get worse,
before 1t gets better; the race problem
has become an Indian problem; men
Of all parties may as well look the
facts in the face and bethink them
selves how they are to be dealt with"
In speaking Of the conflict between
the races in Evansville, Ind. in which
several people were killed, the Sen
tinel says: Behind all these manifes-
tatiOns of lawleSsneSS are conditions
which may well give pause to thought
full men. The fact is that the cam
munity has been debauched and cor
rupted by politicians who have i'm
ported hordes OF the most ignorant,
most worthless and vilcst negroes,
causing an enormous increase in
pauperiSm, vice and crime, and reduc-
ing materially the average intelligence
and virtue OF the people,
This is IL serious Indictment and
nSo'' iOi Iii ~ VI
communities in the south can fully
understand and appreciate. While
the original trouble grew out Of the
act Of a lawless negro, the Sentinel
declares that he had been removed
from the city and the only apparent
motive Of the rioters has been to
make trouble in order to give vent to
their lawless feelings. The Courier,
OF Evansville, Ind, says:
The cause Of the present reign Of
terror in this city can be directly
traced to the vitiation Of the negro
for political purposes. Before election
tiOn time the advertisement are sent
up and down the river among the
shifLlcss negroes, stating that they
can get money for their votes at
Evansville. The idea, ignorant and
vicious flock here; they are colonized
In saloons: they are gathered in herds
the night before election, even in the
custom house and the temple Of JUS
tice, dcballched with free beer and
corrupted with free dollars, when they
are properly ready to he used on cleo
tion day.
Commenting on this the Indiana
polls Sentinel says: There is moth
ing to be said in behalf OF the mob or
any Of It's members. But there Is just
as little to be said for those who have
deliberately dcbauchcd and demoraliZ-
cd the community by introducing for
political purposes Il dangerous and
vicious element and practicing
methods which whenever tolerated
are certain to produce disastrous con-
sequences. The wind has been sown,
the whirlwind is being rcaped. The
Augusta Chronicle says we are ac-
cnstomed to this sort Of preaching
from the Northern newspapers to
Southern communities, but it sounds
strangely addressed by al Indiana
polls paper to an Indiana audience.

Changing Their Tune.

The Augusta Chronicle says nothing
more notable has occuored in the last
year than the radical change in the
treatment Of the negro question by
Northern newspapers. For years
past The Chronicle has urged the goinp
of negroes to Northern states, belicv-
ing that these very changes that have
come about would result, and that
Northern communities having this ne
gro problem to deal with to face among
themself, and not simply to preach to
Southern audience would see things In
a new light. The following are some
of the recent expressions by Northern
men and newspapers based on the race
trouble and lynching in Delaware, in
Illinois, or Indiana
The St. Paul Pioneer Press says we
are tired Of negroes and the negro
problem, and we are outraged with
negro preachers denouncing lynchiiIg
without, a word of condemnation for
the negro brutes thatlcause them.
.!. The Kansas City Jonrnal says The
negro race is but tone eneraticn =on tef3
slavery, and but!a few generations out.
Of bnrbarism. When he @reyerts s;to
barbarism and commits crime
against wOmanklnd the punishment
will be fully as swift and horrible in
the north as In the SOUTH
The Minneapolis Tribune says: The
wave of black horror that is creeping
over the country will soon or late be
met and topped and overwhelmed by
a wave Of horror that will leave the
superior race rid OF everything OF the
inferior but the. brutal barbarous
passions and hibit the conflict has
bred. The dark; horror that hangs
over the south Is creeping across the
Potomac, the Ohio, the Mississippi
and menacing the north as well.
DR.. 'Lorimer, the famous pulpit ora.
tor and platform lecturer, declares
Instead of holding meetings to de
nounce lynching, we should hold meet
ing with view Of forever stopping
barbarOus assault on the women Of GU
land. They are too frequent, ant
what wonder human nature boil
over before such bloody deeds? W,
should make it plain that white mcr
will not tolerate attacks upon thei
wives and daughters. This is the i'm
pcrative duty of the hour, and
trust it may not be overlooked by GU
colored citizens in their talk abou
racial prejudice. The lynching is F.;
regrettable affair, but the wantol
murder Of defenseless woman il
more so. This butchery Of our wo
men must be blotted out some way O.
other.
We reproduce these statements By
stannch Northern and Republican
journals especially for the benefit o.
the negroes, and that our readers
generally, may see what change ha!
come over Northern sentiment on thi.
negro question.

In view Of the sudden and lament.
able death OF our, brother journalist,
Mr.. Narcisso Gener Gonzales, on
January ~, 1904, let us add tribute
to his work and to his memory.
In him we recognize q. man OF the
highest type. He was o.. man OF
true principle. He hated the low
and mean with an.extreme hatred
He exacted from his fellow men,
especially those In public position, the
same irreproachable conduct he re-
quired from himself. He was O man
OF decided conviction. He thought
clearly and logically and always knew
what he believed. If he made mis-
takes at times in the application of
principles to conditions and actions Of
others, so that he was judged to be
unfair and even unjust, yet his
positiveness and tirmness in conyic-
ti0ns, as to what he thought would
be right, won for him the respect Of
those who did not agree with him.
He was an independent thinker, and
often advocated movements and
policies in advance OF those above him,
which, Of course, meant frequent
differences Of opinion and opposition
to his views. He was careful and
accurate man, and yet his was u quick
and penetrating mind. His position
was always positive and clearly detin-
ed. These qualities won for him sue
cess and emtnence as a journalist. He
was the founder Of the Columbia State
In 1891, and soon made 1t one of the
best newspapers in the whole south.
His services to Columbia, South Caro-:
lima, and to the south, cannot now be
measured. lie was patriot Of the
truest type and a worthy public ser.
want. In him we have lost one OF the
most brilliant and successful editors
OF the new south, and this association
has lost an active, efficient and loyal
member. Let us emulate his virtues

A WILD GOOSE CHASE.
Seeking a Buried Treasure Near the
City orsavannah.

City OF Savannah.
w. II. Haslip, Of Philadelphia, Pa,
is in Savannah, Ga, to dig for buried
treasure on an adjacent set island. 1t
liz not Il wild, Captain Kidd kind Of an
adventure he is on, however. The
treasure he is after was buried on
Warshaw island in 1869 by Confede-
rate soldier Of the name of Amos
Bericn, who died in Philadelphia last
week. Berien, who had been in the
employ of Mr.. Haslip for the past ten
years, often told that gentleman that
lie had. treasure buried on the Georgia
coast. Shortly before his death he
told Mr. Haslip that in his trunk
would be found certain papers and
parchments Il. at would be of value to
him, and fbhatS the property was all to
be Mr.. IIaslip's after Berien died.
Mr.. Haslip investigated the trunk
Among other things he found an old
piece Of sfeepskin parchment, which
had evidently done duty as drum
head. The parchment contained a
map Of Warsaw island, locating Ger
tain spot. Accompanying it was a
statement to the effect tnat Berien
was first mate on the Confederate
blockade runner, Lucy Verne, out OF
Baltimore. On one trip when rich
Virginia family named Starkc was
aboard the Verne was chased by a
federal war vessel.
Finding themselves ovcrhaulcd it
was determined to buy ashore all the
treasure aboard. Rerien was one OF
the party assigned to bury the treas
ure. He made a map of the location
on drumhead, which he kept. Sever
al times, Bericn says, he attempted
to recover the treasure, but some
thing interferred. Mr.. lIaslipis posi-
