South Cardinals Bloody Record.

Some days ago in discussing the
prevalence of homicides in South
Carolina the Richmond News
Leader estimated that in the last
thirty-five years thirty-five hundred
persons had been killed in this State.
This statement was doubted by
several newspapers, the opinion be-
ing expressed that it was exagger-
ated. Since then the News Leader
has quoted from the report of the
Attorney General, which shows there
were 223 bomicides in twelve months,
an average of more than four week.
Judged by the record, there we're at
least seven thousand deaths in the
period mentioned instead of thirty
five hundred. This is a terrible blot
on the State, yet the record seems to
be increasing and apparently the
courts are helpless in dealing with
the ENTHUSIASTICALLY News.

The New Democratic leader.

John Skaip Williams, who ha,
been chosen as leader ofthe minority
in the House of Representatives, ii
now serving his sixth term as mem
Der of the lower branch Of Congress
his service dating from March 5
1893, when the Fifty Third Congress
NO minally came into existence. Itit
thus at ;the'end of ten years of the
N ational Legislature that Mr.. Will
Iiams has been honored with the
highest compliment that can come
from his colleagues on the floor of
the House. That he is deserving of
the compliment and that he will
make an efficient and capable party
leader his friends and adherenta con-
fidently assert. In his terms in Con-
gress, Mr.. Williams has been a
power on the Democratic side, and
the Republicans have always had his
cool and logical arguments TO reckon
with when the lines of party battle
were tightly drawn. The gentleman
from Mississippi has proved his
ability many times to cope with the
most learned of his brothers of the
opposite political faith. He is a
parliamentarian of recognized at
tainments.
The career of the new Demo-
cratic leader on the House side of
Congress is fraught with much in
terest. A lawyer by profession, but
extensively engaged in cotton plaut-
ing he first came into the political sit
uation of his home State at the time of
the Chicago convention which nomi-
mated Cleveland and Stevenson
when he was member of the Mis-
sissippi delegation. His fret public
office was that of Representative in
Congress and since his first election
as such he has been chosen as his
own successor ever since, most of the
time without opposition either
within or without his ownp party. At
the Congressional election last fall
Mr.. Williams received every vote
in his district, the Eighth Mississippi.
He served in the Fifty Third, Fifty
fourth, Fifty. fifth, Fifty-sixth and
Fifty-seventh Congresses, and will
now lead his party in the Fifty eighth.
Mr.. Williams resides at Yazoo, in
Yazoo county, the homestead of his
mothers family. He is a native Of
Tennessee, however, having been
born at Memphis, July 80, 1854, and
being at the present time in his
fiftieth year. His mother having
died and his father, who was Colo.

The Winter win ss Cold.

There is good old-fashioned
s'sign" that the coming winter viii
be severe one, twentieth century
omen iconoclasts to the contrary
notwithstanding. Grandparents held
firmly to the belief that where there
was superabundanoe of fruits aud
nuts Dame Natures liberality waf
but the display of wisdom in provid-
ing her children substance for the
severe winter that was coming.
Another .sign" that has been no.
ticeable for the past week or ten
days is the unusually blood red sun
sets, and even long after Old Sol has
pulled up his last tent flap and the
day is done, the sky remains a glory
of deep crimson, which gradually
fades away before the silver rays of
the silvery moon. These signs were
all firmly believed in by our fore
fathers. The wild fruits and nuts
are said to exist in great quantities
this year. Hence the winter should
be an unusually hard one.
Farmers are getting to be so up-to-
date that they come to lose faith in
the signs that have been believed in
since the beginning of thugs. Belief
in the efficiency of the ground hog as
the forecaster of the weather, in the
time honored goose bone as an iudi-
cation of cold or mild weather, or in
the size of the nut crop as signs of
the sort of weather-mild or frigid--
that is to distinguish the wintry sea-
son, had all been relegated to the
department. of tradition in ancient
history.
Time was when the dweller along
the country side held himself to his
oak tree or his chestnut grove or
looked at his walnut or hickory trees
to get his tip on the weather proba-
bilities for the winter. If the crop
of acorns was large or the yield of
nuts was great on the trees, the be-
lever of such signs would smile to
himself-if he had his oak and light
wood in and liked cold winter
and said "M'm, we'll have a severe
winter, plenty of FROST" Nowadays
all signs look alike to him. If the
nut crops are abundant, he's we'll
satisfied if they are scanty, he takes
it philosophically but he no longer
pins his faith to such things. The
seasons have changed, he says, and
you can't bank on anything.

An Historic Landmark.

A dispatch from Fort Worth
Texas, says: To make room for mo-
dern improvements, the old log
house occupied by Gen. Zachary
Taylor, when he was commander OF
the post here in 1847, will be sold for
tirewood by the Sisters of Mercy
upon whose land the old house stands
as solid of construction as the day il
was built out of hewn logs in June,
lS41. 1t was in this house that
Jefferson Davis, the President of the
Confederacy, then a ayoung officer in
the United States army, courted the
daughter of Gen. Taylor, who looked
upon Davis as beneath his daughters
notice. Like her father, Miss Tay-
lor was possessed of much determi-
nation, and she eloped with the
young officer-and married him.
Afterward, during one of the bat
ties of the Mexican war, when Gen.
Taylor was upon the point of being
captured and killed, he was rescued
by Davis, and when the twain got to
a place of safety, Taylor grasped
him by the hand and exclaimed,
"My daughter was a better Judge
Of the man than / was, and apolo-
gize for any affront I may have put
upon you"
1t was at the primitive landing at
this point that Gen. Taylor, then
dressed in ill-fittiug civilian clothes,
was aocosted by a couple Of young
officers bound to some point up the
river, who after making number of
inquiries, all of which were courte-
ously answered, asked to be remem-
bered "to the old woman and the
gal" Those same officers were sub
sequently invited to a reception
given to Gen. Taylor in the old log
house, and much to their discomfit-
use, but to the infinite amusement Of
the General was introduced by him
to Mrs. and Miss Taylor as "the old
woman and the gal" to whom they
had sent their compliments.

Corn Shredders.

There are few corn shredders in
this section. The corn is cut and
put in stacks when the folde,
ripens. After the stacks or shocks,
have stood in the field a sufficient
length of time for the corn to thor
/ oughly harden, the stalks are run
through the shredder, which is pro-
PEELED by an engine, the shuok is
stripped from the ear, by the ma
chine, and the ears are dropped out
at the. side of the machine and
caught in basket. The shucks,
fodder and stalk are cut up into fine
pieces, which is called ststover," and
makes an abundance of good feed
for horses and cattle. Col. Bowen is
successfully running one of these
machines, and besides doing his own
work, he does, or has done, good
deal for his neighbors. He says he
believes in ten years from this time
there will not be bundle of fodder
pulled, but all the corn will be
shredded. E. S. Griffin, a practical
and progressive farmer, and probably
others, has, shredder, and he is
much pleased with it. The methods
of farming are changing rapidly in
this section, and all for the better.
L. o. Lathem, another good farmer,
has bought "crusher." This ma
chine, besides Smelling and chopping
up the corn, brushes all the cobs,
which adds very much to the value
of the food, and is quite saving in
expenses in the matter of food for
horses and cattle. He is much
pleased with it.-Easley Progress.

Gen. John Morsan's Brother.

Columbus, Ohio, November 3d.
r. G. Morgan, brother of Gen. John
Morgan, the famous Confederate
raider, called upon Governor Nash
last week and later visited the Ohio
penitentiary, where, in 1868, he was
confined az prisoner of war. Dur
ing his Wait to the prison he set at
rest reports that the party who es-
oaped on the night of November 27,
1858, had bribed their way out. He
went to the cell block and explained
how the escape was made. Mr..
Morgan changed cells with bis
brother and was not with the esoap-
ing party. He, however, furnished
them the information which enabled
them to get over the walls to safety.
To-day was his first visit to the
prison since his release.
