/ IogR aisng I'm theSouth

! Robert 8onlerville, secretary to Con-
gresham Hurnpifevs, has been busy the
past few DAYS mailing out pamphlets
on . Hog Raising IN the South TO the
constituents Of his chief More than
1900 copies of this publication were
mailed. The question of diversifying
crops by raising more hogs ana enough
to supply packing plant, should one
| be located here, has been agitated CON
siderably recently. For the benefit of
those persons who anticipate hog rails
ing, The Morning Times reproduees the
/ artieIe:
Hog Raising in the South.
Hog raising is one of the most profit
abfe lintsaof animal husbandry in the
South II wisely managed, and one Of
the most Improbable if conducted in
the ordinary way; that Is, if the hogs
are raised without care and fed with
out knowledge or Judgment.
Two methods of hog raising are COM
mon in the Southern states, both equally
Objectionable:
% When managed by the first
method the hogs are allowed free range
in woods and swamps, fenced or IN
fenced; subsist on grass, roots, acorns
and grubs; breed indiscriminately, an
three years of age, weighing net from
80 to l25 pounds Such animals fur
nish inferior hams and shoulders, pro
vide scarcely any lard, and do not make
eoinpensafing return for the use OF
the land The owners are liable to
heavy losses from diseases. storms ani
other causes, aud the prodset does not
meet the requirements of. the genera
market,
20 The second plan is to keep the
hogs in small lots and feed corn main
~ This has been proven Improbable
with corn at the average price in the
South Hogs thus fed show g fevereI
condition, are restless, and are gener-
ally found roofing in the fresh earth.
The cost of raising hogs when fed on
corn alone is generally estimated at 5
cents pound, live weigh, when corn
is worth 30 cents a bushel; that is, n
bushei of corn will usually make ten
pounds of gain, live weight, when care-
fully fed to thrifty hogs. This agrees
with the results at experiment sta
tons. But corn is not usually fed with |
care, and when raised on corn alone /
hogs are seldom very thrifty; consa
auently tue cost will average much |
greater t han this. Investigations saoW |
that seven pounds Of gain to the bushei |
IF corn is nearer the result when corn |
is fed on the cob without other foo /. /
This would pface the cost of live gain
1T 10 cents q pound with 70-eent corn.
The best way to make hog raising |
profitable IN the South is to Craze the
aogs upon pastures prepared especiallv
for them. supplementing the green food
by the addition of a small grain ration.
Upon this plan hogs can be raised a,
an average cost of / IL to ) cents
pound, depending mainly upon the
mana gemtnt of the sows and pigs an
upon an economic plan of fattening.

PLEASED IN SPITE OF IT
Newberry Ladies Enjoyed Visit to
Anderson Taken on Cars to
Various Places Of Interest.
Anderson Mail, Dec. 81.

Anderson Mail, Dec. 81.
The members Of the delegation
here yesterday representing the Civ
ie association of Newberry enjoyed
the visit much in spite Of the bad
weather. The automobile ride which
had been planned for the afternoon
had to be dispensed with, and it was
even too muddy to ride in carriages,
but the car we're used freely and a
good many Of the places Of interest
in the city were visited. The party
left on the 5 o'clock interurban as
far as Belton accompanied by Mrs.
Rufus FAINT, Mrs. J. E. Breazeale,
Mayor J. L. Sherard and Mr.. Rufus
Fant. In the Newberry party were
Mrs. r D. Wright, former president
of the association, Mrs. E. NJ Evans,
Mrs. S. B. Aull and Mrs E. H. Aull,
and Messrs. E. H. Aull, E. N. Evans,
and John B. Mayes.
! The ladies Of the NeWberry delega-
ton were loud in their praise Of the
work done by the Civic association
here, and each said she could we'll i'm
agine the beauty Of the city when the
weather is perfect, from the excel
lent showing made even on day like
yesterday. The ladies Of the local
committee were much disappointed
! that the day should have turned out
so unpleasantly, but nevertheless ap-
preciated having the ladies and gen.
tlemen from Newberry here. y
Mrs. E. H. Aull said she was more
than gratified at the pretty little
park, the plaza on the square and
the beautiful shade trees and foun-
tain at the rear Of the court house.
She felt sure the Newberry ladies
had gained much by the visit here
and appreciated the kindnesses shown
by the committee from the Civic as
sociation, the mayor and others in
taking the party over the city.
The delegation left the city in the
afternoon determined to take some
necessary steps looking to the New
berry Beautiful. and to follow in d
way the advances already made by
the ladies Of Anderson. The people
| of Anderson are glad that they came
and they regret only the disagreeable-
ness Of the day.

ADMITS PERJURY.
Wife of Alleged Tennessee Night Rid,
er Admits She Swore Falsely
For Him.

Union City, Tenn, Jan. 2.-As-
serting that on the witness stand yes
terday she had deliberately perjured
herself for the defense and. con-
science-srticken, desired to tell the
truth, Mrs. Morris, wife Of one of the
eight alleged night riders, asked to be
recalled today. Wade Morris swore
he was present the night Capt. Ran
kin was killed and recognized soma
of the defendants. Mrs. Morris, his
wife, on the stand yesterday swore
that her husband was at home that
night She left the stand pale and
trembling and sent for the attorney
general.
Il have done a great wrong" she
said. II have told a lie. My husband
was not at home that night. He was
with the riders. 7 was forced by my
relatives to testify as I did. I want
to see my husband"
Her brother-in-law tried to get her
to leave the city with him, but the
attorney general ordered him away
and took Mrs. Morris to her husband.
The meeting Of the young husband
and wife, separated since October 20.
was silent but pathetic.
After ahbi witnesses had been call
ed today the attorney general asked
that Mrs. Morris be permitted to cor
rect her testimony. She took the
stand and said:
81 was persuaded to tell a lie
yesterday on the stand. I was told
by Joe Hogg and Jack Long that un-
less I swore that my husband was at
home that night the soldiers would
hsng him. They also threatened me
and I was afraid, so I told this lie.
Now, I want to tell the truth.'
The witness bore the taunts and
innuendoes of the defense's attor-
neys and the glares Of the indicted
men patiently, but she was badly
frightened. and often seemed on the
point Of collapsing. She declared the
attorney general refused to listen to
her until she had summoned some Of
her relatives to advise her.

the speakers, who had contributed to
the success Of the occasion.
A resolution was adopted suggest
jing to the legislature the reestablish-

Address of Senator Tillman.
The address of the evening, which
preceded the business session, was de-
livered by Senator B. R. Tillman, and
the hall Of the house was crowded
with an intelligent and cultured audi
ence to hear the distinguished speak
er. The senator took issue squarely
with two of the speakers he. had
heard in the morning. Prof. Claxton,
Of Tennessee, and the Rev. c. f.
Weltner. of Columbia, and devoted
his speech largely to arguments
against compulsory education. basine
his objections to the proposition on
the presence of the negro. He began
by asserting in effect that education
is not an essential Of good citizenship,
! and cited the example Of the Re-
volutionary soldiers, who fought at
the battle Of Kings Mountain, yet
many of whom could not read and
write. He rather resented the stric-
lures on this States illiteracy in the
address of Prof. Claxton. and in dis
cussing the negro question referred at
Nlength to the purpose Of PRECEDENT
I elect Taft, of whom ne spoke in
friendly terms as gentleman, to
break up the solid South by the use
Of patronage. He said that if this
intention was successful. instead Of
negroes and scalawags in the legisla-
ture, We would have negroes and some
Of our bank presidents and cotton
mill presidents representing the Re-
publican party. The Republican par
ty. he declared. was the black party
and the Democratic party the white
party. He asked why not break up the
solid North instead of the solid South.
Taking up the question of compul-
Sorv education he urged that to COM
pei under the law the nesro must be
given equal rights with the white
man. and that this would mean the
education Of the negro 10 vote.
! In concluding the senator praised
the efforts to cultivate the love Of
the beautiful in the school room.
