husbands approval may cost Mrs.

husband is under arrest charged with
beating her with an axe handle.
According to the story told the
police by Leonard's 10-year-old son,

felled her with an axe handle and
kicked her as she lay on the floor

Negroes Went Crazy Over Religion.

"The Anderson county negroes
who went crazy over religion and
tried to destroy everything and
everybody within their reach, have
been sent to the asylum for the in
sane. In our judgment there is no
question about the reason of the
men being dethroned, and the lunatic
asylum is the right place to send
them. But we would like to inquire
what has been done with the negro
preacher who has been stirring up
the members of his race by preach
ing incendiary and misleading doc
trines? There is no place in any
community for man like him.
Greenville News. Pray tell us what
can be done with him or any other
preacher who excites religious fanati-
cism ? The law affords no adequate
remedy.-Anderson Intelligencer.

Anderson, September 20.-When
Lee Henderson, colored, arrived at
his home in the negro village at s
o'clock this afternoon he found a
negro named Perry Oliver in the
house with his wife. Oliver jumped

through the glass door, which hit
Oliver in the left side of the neck.
Oliver fell to the floor unconscious.

When farmer puts price on his
cotton and bauls it back home when
he fails to get it, he shows he is an
Independent man, that he has notions
of his own about his own affairs, and
the manhood to execute them. Oco-

would benefit every farmer in the

Hold Your Cotton.

Now is the time for Southern
farmers to show what stuff they are
made of. If they rush their cotton
to market at the present prices the
price will go up-after the cotton is
all sold. The cotton growers are in
better shape than ever before to
buck against the spectators. With
the warehouses that have been built
throughout the cotton States they
can hold their product until the
bears are forced to capitulate. The
contracts for cotton must be filed
and there appears to be no over-pro.
duction. The farmer has the situa-
ton in hand-will he avail himself
of his power?-Kingstree County
