Foul Murder in Berkeley---
White Man Killed While
Asleep by His Mulatto
Son.
Elloree special in SUNDAYS
State: Early Thursday morn.
ing, Harry CLARK, white, who
lVed alone near Eutaw Springs.
was shot and killed as he law
asleep In his bed by his son, a
young mulatto. The purpose of
the slayer was probably robbery.
IL Is supposed that Clark had a
considerable sum of money in
MS house and that the young
mulatto, becoming aware of this.
planned the brutal murder.
AS the old man lay asleep the
murderer shot off the top of his
head. The assassin then took
the blood-stained garments of his
victim into the lot and burned
them. He put the corpse into a
wagon, concealed it with straw
and trash and hauled it into a
dense th'cket, where he dug a
mole and buried the body.
de then returned to Eutaw.
vile, where he wrote an order TO
one of the leading merchants of
that place, forging the old mans
name for a small amount. The
merchant, being familiar with
Clark's affairs, knew there was
something wrong and suspicion
was at once aroused. A search
was at once made for Clark. 1t
appears that younger brother
of the slayer had watched his
actions and knew where his
brother had carried the old man
and took the searching party to
the spot where the BODY was
hidden.

INITIATIVE IN FARMING.
It Is the Ability to Originate New
 Metkcds.

What is called initiative" is the ability to begin a new thing without that new thing being suggested by the example or the words of another. Few people comparatively have this power of initiative. The ones that have it are the ones that lead in new enterprises. The faculty is acquired by study and by using methods to get the mind out of the ruts. Initiative is needed on the farm as well as else where. It is a difficult thing for a farmer to begin any entirely new process. yet the beginning of a new process in farming is often revOlu- tionary in it's effects. Because men find it so difficult to originate new thoughts is the reason why the de velopment of the race has been slow up to the last hundred years, in which time this quality of the mind has been greatly stimulated. Perhaps this has in itself been due to imitation, the world desiring to initiate the men that have made great successes by initia ting new things. In the domain oi farming, says Farmers Review, we have had the illustrious example of such men as have brought to light the presence of the tubercle of the legu minous plants, and those that have shown the way to raise sub-tropical plants in our northern climate. Initia- tive in farming will yet give us new processes, of which our minds have not yet formed a conception.

As to the new style hoe, it is surely sharp and l believe of just the right form to be serviceable for use as a weeder in onions and other close planted stuff. In short, with hoes of the right kind it seems to be not much of a curse to be the man with the hoe"

 Lumpy jaw, so called, Is tumor of more or less rapid growth that does not always occur on the bovine jaw or head. It is found frequently in other parts of the body.

The trial was made with 1 4S young pigs, all of the same age and weight, divided into four lots The animals of each lot received, re- | spectively, as much as they would eat of the different meals, and in ad- dition they all had daily supply of skim milk and some potatoes. Aftes they were killed an examination of the carcasses showed that the flesh of the pigs fattened on maize was not as firm or salable as that of the pigs fed on the other meals. This result is the same as has been report ed from trials in America and Can ada, and is worth noting. It would appear that maize is a good food for growing pigs, but that other meals should be substituted, either in part or altogether, during the last month or two of the fattening process
