Two Fine Animals.

TWO II lie AnlinaiS.
A special to The State from Gaff-
ney says Mr.. w. G.. Austell had two
fine cows to die under rather peculiar
circumstances last week. They es-
capped from the pasture where they
were confined and got into a patch of
sorghum of which they ate little as
they passed through. This was about
noon; at seven clock after they had
been driven home they both dropped
dead within two minutes of each 9TH
er. Mr.. Austell does not think that
the cane caused the death of the COWS
because the quantity which they ate
was so small
