An Enthusiastic Meeting Of Dairy

Production OF Butter.

From four 20 five hundred farmers

tentively to Prof. Boeggild of Co.

Commissioner Ben Tiff OF Des

there were but few farms of so or 80
acres in Denmark and most of the
100000 farmers own from to 10 A.
Twenty five years ago nine million
dollars worth of butter was sold
while last year fifty-eight million
was disposed of. All milk is taken
to the Creameries where it ia pas
turized with great care. Quantity
of milk increased four or five times
in 20 years owing to care in feeding
and selection of mixers. Cows are
now calving at all seasons of the
year " hereas at that time summer
months were selected. Cotton seed
is used largely as ration which is
great milk food. Small cove, they

the farmer. Prof. Mortensen says we
are trying to adopt the Danish idea
of high schools and incorporation

this line because we have more NJ O.

Good Advice.

The following bit of advice was
given by Thomas Jefferson to young
men: "Do not sit up late at night;
study and work in the day time.
Rise early and go to bed early.
Avoid novel reading and cultivate the
companionship of good books. Never
tell lie or stoop to a mean act. Be
kind to every living creature. Speak
no evil of any one. Be good, adore
God, be loyal to friends, and love
your country better than yourself.
Take hold of things by the smooth
handle; avoid disputes; do not turn
pleasant conversation into heated ar.
gument. Too much speaking is not
best. Never put off until to-mor-
row what you can do to-day. Never
spend your money before you have It.
Never buy what you do not need be-
cause it is cheap. Pride costs more
than hunger, thirst and cold. We
never report of having eaten too lit
tie. Never borrow trouble"

For Good Roads.

At a recent election held in Black
vile township, the citizens voted
unanimously to continue the two mill
special levy for road building they
have had for several years. The citi-
zens of Blackville township are pro-
gressive and realize that good roads
will do more to increase their proper
ty than anything else. They also rea-
lie that it is necessary for them to
go down in their pockets and help
build them. That they are not afraid
to do this is evidenced by the vote for
the continuance Of the road tax at
the election recently held.-Barnwell

DRINKS "BUG KILLER"
Cherokee Negro Charged with Muir
der Commits Suicide.

Gaffney, June 24.-Alfred Poole,
a negro prisoner, confined to the
county Jail to await trial at the next
term of court, which convenes here
next Monday, committed suicide by
drinking "bug killer" in his cell last
night, dying from the effects about
/ o'clock. Poole was arrested about
two weeks ago at Cowpens, charged
with being an accomplice in the kill
ing Of negro baby at his home near
Cowpens. He was about 55 years of
age.
1t has been the custom Of the
jailer to supply the prisoners with
the "bug killer" at intervals. When
the disinfectant was given to Poole
yesterday he saved it until night
came and then drank it, becoming
paralyzed at once. Although there
were two other prisoners in the same
cell, both of them disclaim any
knowledge of the taking of the fluid
and claim that they knew nothing
about the affair until they became
suspicious of his loud breathing, and
when they attempted to rouse him
they found him dying. Medical as
sistance was summoned, and although
every thing possible was done, Poole
soon died.
The evidence tended to show that
the act had been contemplated for
several days, as be had told his son
Sam, who is confined in the Jail as
a witness to the killing of the infant,
that he did not intend to live much
longer. This was, about three days
before the act was committed. He
seemed to be in fear of the outcome
Of the trial. The coroner's inquest
was held at the Jail this morning,
