The Indian and
His Revenge

Editor Appeal: In your issue oil
the goth appears an article headed
"Disapprove Hanging Indian and Ask
Board to Commute the Death Senten-
Co." In which the point Is made that
the Indian, (Buckaroo jack in the
murder of his wife, had but followed
out the teachings of his race and
therefore ought not to receive the
death sentence. There seems to be
food for reflection In this thought. 1t
brings to my mind an incident which
happened In Alpine County, Cal. some
years ago. I was crossing the river
at Markleville and looking up stream
from the bridge saw an Indian woman
bathing her child on the right bank.
Just at that moment there was the
crack Of a rifle and from behind a
large fallen pine on the left bank
there arose q pun of smoke and then
an Indian who shouldered his gun and
walked away over the hills to the
south. While he was yet in sight
a great number of Indians (although
out of sight of the tragedy who were
camped near by ran down to where
the dead woman lay as II they had
devined the Significance Of the rifle
report. With wierd lamentations they
bore the body away but did not pur-
sue the slayer.
On inquiry learned from the In
dians THAT Tom Kettridge's mahala
was q doctor; that she had treated
Bilrs child and 1t died; that 1t was
the third case she had lost; that Bill
being the childs nearest relative had
killed the DOCTOR
often saw Tom Kittridge after this
and he always avowed ne would kill
bill on sight and that he was dill
gently looking for him. Tom used TO
work for me great deal and one day
I was standing talking with him when
suddenly Bill appeared before us.
naturally expected to see something
trails HAPPEN and you may immagin
my surprise when they approached
each other In the most friendly
manner, and they sat down and talk
ed together In their native tongue fol
hours. After Bill went away | asked
Tom why he did not kill him as he
had always told me he would and his

will be legal holiday, Admission

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.
Interesting Statements Made al Recent
Louisville Meeting.

When the cotton seed oil manufact-
urers met in Louisville, Ky, last week
they heard many good speeches from
men of experience on the use of cotton
seed hulls and meal for feeding. Facts
were given by such men as Judge
Henry Hammond, of Augusta by Mr..
L.C. H. Estes, of Texas, (bettcr known
as the 'Red Neck" farmer from Tcxas)
and others. These facts are of general
interest to every farmer in South Car
oina. The speeches stated that the
time has come now when the farmers
shodld pay less for their feed stutrs and
raise more cattle, more mich COWS,
more farm stock. BY careful feeding,
with cotton seed products this can be
done with success. Any Of the expert
ment stations will furnish the proper
proportion of feeds if the farmers will
write for them. The Clemson station
is always anxious to help in this line.
Judge Hammond said:
"With the Southern farmer il is
corn! corn! corn Whether it is his own
nubbins that give out about the lst of
December, or the damp, soft, black
hearted stuff he buys from the West at
80 cents to 81. 20 Il bushcl ljust now
an even dollar), it makes no difference.
'Corn's. corn, to him. He acknowl-
edges the corn whether it's his own or
somebody's else whether it's good or
bad. Corn's all right, all right, but
then 1T amt the whole cheese | think
it is about quarter of the cheese
when it comes to we'll balanced work
stock ration. am not taking a shot
at corn, the worlds greatest cereal;
love 1T, to eat it, to feed it, / am only
demanding for cotton seed meal that
constitutional right accorded cvclV
citizen, fair trial and an honest
verdict.
'Lamborne bases the statement upon
many of the actual feeding tests made
throughout the entire country that:
One pound of cotton seed meal equals
one and three-quartGr pounds of corn
or corn meal. AS one pound of meal
is equal to l Sd pounds of corn, a ton,
or 1000 pounds of meal is equal to
$500 pounds of corn. Hence, when
corn is worth so cents bushel, $500
pounds of corn, or its equivalent, ton
of meal, would be worth $3l. %; when
corn is worth 60 cents bushcl, n ton
of meal would be worth $37. 50; when it
is 70 cents a bushel, ton of meal
would be worth 1915: when it is worth
80 cents bushel, a ton of meal would
be worth $50; when it is worth 80 cents
a bushel, ton of meal would be worth
$56.25, and when it is 81 hushcl, a ton
of meal would be worth $62. 90.
Il regret that cotton seed meal is
today selling at my home, Augusta,
Ca, for only about $23 ton. | regret
even more deeply that corn, mean
Western corn, is being rctailcd there
for 81 a bushel. These prices are sadly
out of whack. 1t is your concern to set
them right. THE State.

Rev. j. M. Shell ParaIyzed.

Reverend j. Melvin Shell, of this city,
suffered severe stroke of paralysis in
his left side last Friday night. He was
attending the Baptist union meeting at
Beulah church near Fountain Inn and
was the guest of a Mr.. Rogers at the
time of the stroke. On Saturday morn
ing Mr.. Shell was brought to his home
here and while his condition is still very
serious the suffering has been some
what alleviated and it is hoped that he
will speedily recover.
The news of Mr.. Shells illness will
be received with much regret all over
the county, for there is no man more
widely known or more universally liked
than this man of God. For years he
has traversed the county in the per-
formance of his chosen work and every
where has left his impression and en-
gendered genuine love in the hearts
of the people. Numberless inquiries
have been made since Mr.. Shells ill
ness regarding his condition and it is
the sincere wish Of all that he will soon
be we'll again.

The annual meeting of the Laurens
County Rural Letter Carriers Associa-

view Of making it live issue in

of my Father which is in heaven" The
sympathy OF the community is with the
