ALFRED JENKINS RANGED.
Georgetown Negro RapiSt Paid Penalty
for His HeinGuS Crime

: Georgetowr. Angus: l3:-Altre''
Jenkins. the n-grn oov who was con-
victed of attempted rape and who
has since confessed fully Us to his
guilt, was hanged here today at $3.50
o'clock NJ.
Life was pronounced extinct in
sixteen minutes. The execution
passed off promptly without hitch.
| There were about 200 witnesses. The
! crime was attempted upon the per-
son of a lady school teacher on the
Lower Waccamaw river on the 18th
of June last. A special term of
court was held on July y, Judge
John S Wilson presiding, and Jenk,
ins was sentenced to be hanged Au-
gust 13. Thus the crime has been
expiated Oh the gallows, the law
fully vindicated and the citizenship
of Conway, the home of the teacher,
and of Georgetown, remains without
the awful bot of lynching, which
at one time seemed imminent.
Following is the account of the
execution given by the Geor getown
Times:
Quite a number of people were III
town yesterday to see the brute,
"Slippery joint pay the penalty OF
his dark deeds. Everything was
peaceful and the moose fitted tight.
There was nothing slippery about
that.
The gsllows on which this wretch
was executed was simply made, con-
sisting of two upright pieces and a
cross beam, from the centre of which
rope dangled. When the moose was
adjusted around the doomed mans
neck, the lever was pulled and-there
you are, quicker'n Jack Robinson!
Slippery was very calm and com.
posed throughout, and while on the
platform, when his legs were being
pinioned, looked all about him. Rev
Hood (col) made short prayer for
the doomed wretch while on the
platform and under the dangling
moose; then, while the sheriff was
putting on the black cap, the wretch
uttered prayer, but 1t was hardly
distinguishable ten feet away from
1.-The scaffold. All of this took place
about $50 o'clock.
The scaffold looked like this, of a
dull black color:

nestly hoped that this war of exter-
minstion by removing the conditions
upon which it thrives Will check the
ravages upon the health and peace
of mind of mankind wrought by this
pestiferous insect. The placard re-
ferred to contains the following
rules:
Keep the flies away from the sick,
especially those i'll with contagious
diseases. Kill every fly that strays
into the sick room. His body is
covered with disease germs.
Do not allow decaying material OF
any sort to accumulate on or near
your premises.
All refuse which tends in any way
to fermentation, such as bedding
straw, pape. waste and vegetable
matter, should be disposed of or Gov
cred with lime or kerosene oil.
Screen all food, whether in the
house or exposed for sale.
Keep all receptacles for garbage
carefully covered and the cans clean
ed or sprinkled with oil or lime.
Keep all stable manure in vault or
pit screened or sprlnkled with lime,
oil Or other cheap preparations, such
as are sold by number Of reliable
manufacturers.
See tha: your sewage system is in
good order; that it does not leak, is
up to date and not exposed to flies.
Pour kerosene into the drains.
Burn or bury all table refuse.
Screen all windows and doors, es-
pecially in the kitchen and dining
room.
If you see flies, you may be sure
that their breeding place is in nearby
filth. 1t may oe behind the door,
under the table or in the cuspidor.
If there is 40 dirt or filth there
will be no flies.
If there is nuisance write at
once to the health department.
TO KILL FLIES:
The London "Lancet'' the lead
ing medical journal of the world,
c
says that the best and simplest fly
killer is a weak solution of formal
dehyde in water (two teaspoonfuls to
the pint. Place in plates or saucers
throughout the house. Ten cents
worth of formaldehyde will last an
ordinary family all summer. 1t has
no offensive smell, is fatal to disease
organisms and is practically non
poisonous except so insects.
Pyrethrum powder, which may be
bought at any drug store, burned IN
the house will also kill the flies.

An Easy Way to Improve Farm
RatiOns.

For those who will not study this
question Of balancing the rations of
their live stock. we make the follow
Ing suggestion as step towards
much better feeding than is now prac-
ticed
Divide the animals into two classes
as follows: Glass /. requiring relative
ly large amounts Of protein: Animals
doing heavy work. young growing an
imals, animals giving large quantities
OF milk. breeding animals. hens lay
Ing eggs, etc. Glass 2. requiring rela-
lively small amounts of protein: Ma
ture animals that are idle or fatten-
ing.s
Then. also. divide the available
feeds into two smaller classes: Glass
1, those containing q relatively large
amount Of protein: Cottonseed meal,
dried blood and tankage, wheat bran,
all the legumes. etc. Glass 2, con-
tanning relatively small amounts of
protein: Corn, corn stover and sill
age, all the grass, hays. etc. This is
not complicated, but If we will learn
| even these simple facts, and in our
| feeding select some OF the feeds con-
| tanning relatively large amounts OF
protein to form a part Of the ration
OF an animal requiring a relatively
large amount of protein, we shall
save money in cost Of feed, have larg-
er. stronger and better animals and
get larger and better products from
them.
There are two chief reasons foi
feeding balanced rations: First, they
are better, and, second, they may he
cheaper. But In balancing the ration
the cost OF the feeds and the likes
| and dislikes of the animal must be
given prominent, If not first, consid.

HOW TO PROTECT CHICKS FROM
HAWKS.
A Number Of Methods More or Less
Ingenious and Practical.

d. NJ. H.. Of Stanly Co., n. c.. asks
foi some way Of preventing hawks
from catching little chickens. This
query Is one that comes annually at
about this season. There are several
ways suggested by people who have
this pest to contend with. so I will
give the various ways that I have any
knowledge of. and Mr. II. can take
shis choice.
One method is the feeding Of nux
vomica. three times a week in corn
meal. dough. bran, or bread soaked In
water and squeezed nearly dry. The
quantity Of nux vomica to be used
depends on the size of the chickens.
For chicks two or three weeks old
pinch would be sufficient for IS
chicks. THIS method has Its disad-
vantages. for II you raise ducks and
they feed with the chickens. it's good
Rye ducks. II they eat any Of the food
containing the drug. second plan
Is To take as much strychnine as will

add to this or drops Of molasses,
part back the down under the chick
ems neck. and with a straw, put a
touch OF the mixture on the neck and
smooth the down. N tIr1t
third and more humane way to
both chick and hawk-for In above
methods the hawk must catch the
chicken and eat IL before he kills him
self--is to procure from the timer, or
elsewhere. a few squares OF new tin,
punch hole iE one corner OF the tin
| and attach to this a strong twine
string. about eighteen inches long.

figure was fastened to a pole 20 feet
