Successful wintering Of bees de-
pends, to a great extent, on their man
agement. Late, unsealed honey is poor
food for winter, and should never Re
used for feeding purposes. II extract
ing be continued late, there is more
or less danger, unless full sealed
combs have been set aside for this
purpose; otherwise the late unsealed
honey may be extracted, and good
sugar syrup be substituted.
In harvesting fall honey, the ex:rac-
tor Is invaluable, for the bees will rot
store the honey in boxes when combs
must be built, nearly SO fast as in the
brood chamber, where instinct teaches
them it must be filed for winter.
Keep no queenless stocks unless it
IS intended to introduce queens, in
which case, one or two combs Of hatch
ing brood, from stocks that can best
spare them, should be inserted, in
order to secure young bees for winter.
It is quite necessary to keep the cap Of
the hive warm at night by artificial
means, as the bees are very apt to
leave boxes when the nights are cool,
and thus retard their work to such an
extent that we have many unfinished
boxes, where, with the necessary
warmth, they would have been COM
pleted.
Where the honey harvest has ceased,
the bees may be divided, giving, them
young queens. Where any stocks have
old queens, these should be destroyed,
and young queens introduce With a
little care, the supply Of queens can
be kept on hand. At this time of the
year, should feeding be necessary for
this purpose, feed as fast as possible,
unless it is desired to stimulate brood
rearing, when the entrance feeder may
be used with good effect Keep the
queens laying as long as possible, to
have populous s,ock.-W. B. Tread.

to direct the main features Of the
work. / would, therefore, respectful
~ recommend that If the amount al
ready mentioned be set aside as cot
ton investigation fund, the secretary Of
agriculture be authorized to take such
steps in the perfecting Of proper
organization for handling the work as
in his Judgment, may be best. Ow-
ing to the very nature Of the inves-
LEGATIONS and the fact that they will
involve most thorough and far-reach-
ing scientific work, the management
Of the general plans must necessarily
rest vita the department. 1t is be-
lieved that the work can be strength
ened by securing the advice and CO.
operation Of one or two thoroughly
practical men in the States most dl-
rectly interested, viz, Louisiana and
Texas. The secretary of agriculture,
however, should have full authority
to organize the work for the sole oo-
ject of securing, as already indicated,
the most immediate practical results.
In order to more etfectpally handle
the problems which must necessarily
fall to the work Of the division Of eu-
tomology, have already recommed-
ded in my estimates that this lmpor-
tant branch Of the department. be
made a bureau. The work that it
has done in the past, especially in the
field in question, certainly justihes
this action: and 1 most earnestly re-
commend that this matter be given
primary consideration in connection
with the entire problem. 1t is very
desirable, furthermore, uhat the full
est cooperation be effected by the de-
partment with the experiment STA
tions in the respective States, where
the more important work viii be con-
Quoted. This especially true Of Texas,
where the agricultural college is doing
everything in its power to aid in the
matter, but where it is more or less
handicapped by lack Of proper facili-
ties and funds.
The fund recommended to be set
aside for the purpose mentlOneQ anu
used in accordance with the plans out
lined will give the department. such
liberty Of action as the exigencieS of
the case demand. An industry which
brings to the country an annual IN
come Of something of 00,000,00o is
threatened, and the time is at hand
for energetic action. again, there
fore, most earnestly renew my recon-
mendationS for the means and
authority to carry out the plans as
herein SET forth.
Respectfully submitted,

Secretary.

A BRUTE LYNCHED.
The Scoundrel Was Trailed IND
Caught by Blood Hounds.
THE USUAL CRIME THE CAUSE.
Details of the Assault and Pursuit.
Capture and Execution5of
the Brutal Assailanlt OF
Young Lady.

Dorchester County has had her hFst
lynching, but it won't be the last un
less the black brutes down there keep
their hands of of white women. a
brutal fend made an assault upon a
young lady near Ross, a station about
eight miles below Georges, on last
Friday afternoon about three O'Clock.
Before nigL- there was gathered IN
the little tow. If Ross a crowd OF de-
termined citizens numbering about
three hundred5men from the adjacent
towns and county, bent upon the
swift punishment OF the odstaraiy
iend who had attempted an assault
upon respectable young lady. For
tunately, by the brave fight of the
lady, who is a member Of a promin-
ent family, the brute failed IN hls
diabolical purpose, but the lady was
badly bruised by being choked.
1t seems that the young lady walked
a short distance from her home to
where they were having some farm
work done and, after getting there,
found that the workmen had not re-
turned and she decided to wait; and
it was whilst she was waiting there,
practically in calling distance of her
home, that the negro, John Fugie,
came upon her and undertook bis das-
tardly work, but, being frightened by
her pitiful cries for help and her
struggles to free herself from his
clutches around her throat, he ran TO-
wards the woods near by.
The report soon gained currency
and by night there was posse OF de:
termined men securing the woods ano
swamps for the negro. The search
was fruitless, although several sus.
piciouS characters were caught S.no
brought for Identification before Ghe
young lady, none Of whom answered
the description. Until the midnight
train from Charleston brought the
blood hounds nothing could be done.
As soon as the dogs caught the trail
they followed it until it brought them
to the home of Fogle, and after a
search was made for him there was
found that be had again escaped; Sc
going back to the scene o. the crime
at the early hour Of O'clock Saturday
morning, another trail was taker
again, and this time as before the
dogs carried the scent till ey reached
the steps of the negro's .5ouse, anc
then their shrill howls aSd bark:
broke out on the crisp mora.ng all
and the posse knew that the hena was
caught.
He was carried before the youns
woman, VINO Immediately identified
him, and then in a quiet and Still
manner, just as the sun was peepins
from over the eastern hills, Fogli
paid the peualty for his crime, Sus
pended in midair. Then the boom o.
a hundred guns broke the deatb-llke
silence and announced the first lynch
ing in Dorchester County. Ine body
of John Fogle was left dangling from
the limb of one Of the trees Of the
forest as a silent warning.

4 Savannah Minister Pays Her 8
High and Deserved Tribute.

Rev. Robt. Van Deventer, Bap-
tist minister Of Savannah Ga, recent
ly preached a sermon On The Work
ing Girls of the South" He paid a
tribute to the army Of girls and young
women who earn their living, express
ed his sympathy for them, and deal
ing with their trials AID temptations.
His text: Many daughters have done
virtuously, but thou excellest them
ALL" from Proverbs, thirty-frSt chap
ter and thirty-frSt verse, was applied
to the Southern working-girl of today
who, persevering the traditions Of her
ancestors, retaining all The charms
and graces Of womanhood and COM
manding the respect Of those WHO have
the highest regard for the memory Of
women Of the old South who did not
work, goes forth into the world Of
trade and commerce to assume duties
which have heretofore fallen to the
lot Of men, and performing them to
the absolute satisfaction Of her en-
ployment.
II maintain that the working-wo
men of the South excel them all, !" said
Rev. Mr.. Van Deventer. Southern
women have always merited the ad-
miration they have taken the
place Of husbands and brothers at
home while the men fought back the
enemy, and have divided their SUBJ
stance with the despoiler, in times of
trouble they have been strong, but the
Southern working-girl Of today,
descended from ancestors who lived
lives of ease and luxury, oficiate in
their several capacities with dignity
that is patriotism to nerve them for
their tasks in the humdrum business
world. yet they work self Sarifcingly
and without a murmur."
The minister impressed upon his
congregation, among which were a
large number of those Of whom be was
speaking, the essentially Of ambition
and economy. ''Working-gjrlS should
always look up to something higher
and develop their talents in order that
they may be competent to fill higher
places when the opportunity to step
higher presents itself" Without am
bition," be declared, to be ;content
to remain in the present positions
their lives become as narrow as the
confnements of the Offices in which
they work.
THE strength of religion is above
all essential" be declared. THE life,
the pathway Of the Working-girl is
beset with temptations Of a peculiar
nature, temptations that are strong
er thaa are presented to the man who
works because in the way in which
some people consider the girl who
finds it necessary to so out and earn
her daily bread. It is dangerous for
her to rely upon her own strength Of
will power. But with ambition" he
concluded, "and economic. upheld and
strengthened by religion the working
girl Of the South has a brilliant
future"

THE FARMER FEEDETH ALL.
Some Very Interesting Figures about
Our Farm Products.


Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson in
his seventh annual report to congress
reviews at length the production and
exports OF American agricultural pro-
ducts. The increase in the exports
of farm products for the half century
ended 1901 was from sl47, 7,000.00) to
1852, ,O0n, ,000-550 per cent. The ex-
ports OF farm products for the closing
decade Of the last century was over
500, ,0cO, 900, and for 1908 over $685.
100000, an amount second only to
that Of 1901.
Although the consumption Of cot
ton in this country is greater thao
that Of any other country in the
world, yet in addition to supplying
the home market, the south exported
last year over three and half billion
pounds OF cotton, worth s3lI, 900. 600.
OF grain and grain products, the
export exceeded in value 1921, ,o0c, 900,
and in the supply Of animal, meats,
and meat products, the value OF e1-
portation was S2ll, 900, ,0J0.
Discussing the balance OF trade, the
secretary shows tha0 the favorable
balance to the credit Of this country
is due entirely to the farmers. The
balance OF trade in favor Of farm pro-
ducts during the last IA years, no
year excepted, aggregated 4,SO6 mil
lion dollars. In products, other than
those Of the farm, during the same
period, the balance OF trade was ad-
verse to this country to the extent of
1866, 100000. Our farmers not only
cancelled this immense obligation, but
placed 3,94O million dollars to the
credit Of the nation when the books
Of international exchange were balanc-
ed. He concludes that, 1T is the
farmers who have paid the foreign
bondholders. y
Reviewing the magnitude Of agri-
cultural production, after giving the
figures of the most important crops,
MI. Wilson states that the value Of
all farm products, not fed to live
stock, for 1903 considerably exceeded
their value in the census year, when
it vas given as 3,742 million dollars.
According to the departments in
ventory Of farm animals for January
/, 1903, the value Of horses was over
81, 900, 900, 900, and Of mules, nearly
5000, ,0O0,0 900. The value OF cattle OF
all kinds considerably exceeded 300
million dollars, OF sheep, sl6S,000,-
900, and Of hogs, 1865, 100000.
He congratulates the country upon
the better distribution Of agricultural
progress since 1890. The dlstribu-
tioD Of expansion, progress, and vel
fare has been more general through
out all sections OF the country, espe-
cially in the south.

Wedding" says the Springfield Re-
publican, "was evidently no accident
but an incident perfectly natural to

which is rated as the very highest

them as essentially vulgar people,

FIRE SPREADS TO TOWN.

Before the panic-Sticken inhabl-
tantS of the place had recovered from
the shock, which many Of them at
first thought was an earthquake. a
new danger menaced them. Streams
of blazing oil extended from the wreck
and set fire to nearby houses, while
other houses partially wrecked by the
force Of the explosion caught fire from
overturned stoves.
In many instances a small blaze,
which, under ordinary circumstances,
could have been quickly extinguished,
was permitted, because Of the general
panic and confusion, to gain unusual
headway. In this manner the Green
wood Hotel and the Public School
house were almost totally destroyed,
and other buildings badly injured and
partially burned were the Methodist
Episcopal Church, the Greenwood
Grammar School, the Satter6eld
stores, the post office, and the Penn

residences of DR.. Fl. G. Johnson, l..
