Wild Girl Found i'm Woods.

Greenville, June 13.-While max
ing a search in woods near the city
to-day for a negro wanted on a trivial
charge, Sheriff Poole came upon a
young white girl about 16 years old
who had almost gone back to the
primal state.
The girl was asleep when found
lying on bank of moss near the river
bank, and when accosted by the Off
Ger she declared that for several
weeks she had made her home in the
woods living on berries, sleeping in
the open. The girls clothing was wet
by the continued rains and she ap-
peared in a somewhat exhausted con-
dition. The sheriff took the girl in
custody and placed her in charge of
the authorities at emergency hospital
in the salvation army citadel. She
was later identified as Leonie Ander-
son and physicians say she has been
suffering from temporary mental
alteration.

W, T. JONES sPARRING FOR TINE.
Using Every Expedient to Keep Con-
yicted Man from the Pen.

Union, June 13.-At the court OF
general sessions here this morning
with w. B. Gruber, OF Walterboro,
special judge presiding, the case of
W. T. Jones was brought up in the
form of a motion for new trial on
the ground of after-discovered evi-
dence.
Efforts we're made by the attorneys
for Jones to postpone the hearing on
account of the illness of one Of
Jones' attorneys, Stanyarne Wilson,
who was operated on over a month
ago for appendicitis, the point being
raised by the attorneys present that
Mr.. Wilson, who was i'll, had looked
after getting up the afidavits in the
case and that he was better acquaint-
ed with the facts regarding the evi-
fdence. They requested the judge to
continue the case until conference
could be had with Mr.. Wilson.
The attorneys for the State took
the grounds that the attorneys for
the defendant had had ample time to
have made all their arrangements
and to be ready at this term Of court.
Further, that by the delaying of the
case it caused a further delay in JUS
tice and that if the case would be con-
tinued this morning it would most
probably mean that the case would
not come up until the September
term of court. Judge Gruber, after
hearing arguments from both sides in
regard to postponing the motion, de-
cided that the hearing must be pro-
ceeded with to-day.
Attorneys for the defendant then
proceeded to hear the petition for the
new trial and the afidavits in support
thereof which were numerous and
voluminous and the hearing Of them
occupied the morning hours. When
court reconvened in the afternoon the
State presented its afhdaVlts 1or tne
purpose of showing why the motion
should not be granted. Counsel for
the defendant as each affidavit was
read, objected to such portions as
was considered irrevelant, or incom-
petent. In this way the whole after
Noon was consumed.

| hog. We are very much larger con-
sumers of lard than any other Sec
ton of the country and this may, in
a measure, account for our desire
for large, over-fat hogs. In view oil
the facts that our native stock and
our feeds tend to the production OF
the lean meat type and most of the
pork is used on the farm, it would
appear that the bacon hog would
better suit our needs, for cottonseed
oil, local product, may wisely take
the place of much of the lard now
used.
Lard Type Breeds.-The mos,
popular breeds of the lard or fa1
hog type are the Poland China, Du.
roc-Jersey, Berkshire and Chester
White. The Essex, small but
strictly lard type breed was at one
time quite popular in the South, and
still finds favor with many Southern
farmers.
Bacon Type Breeds.-The Tam
worth and large Yorkshire are two
popular breeds of the bacon type
A certain type Of the Berkshire
when properly fed, also makes 8
very satisfactory type of bacon hog
The Hampshires Chin Rinds) also
have many of the characteristics o.
the bacon type.
Misleading Names Given Different
Breeds.
The hog responds quickly to tn,
intelligent will of the breeder ant
feeder, and by proper selection o.
breeding animals and suitable feed
Ing the bacon type may, in few
years, be developed from any of the
breeds now in use in this country
There is still much lack OF informa.
ton among Southern farmers re-
garding the characteristics of the
different breeds of hogs and also re.
garding the correct names OF these
breeds. For instance, that old and
we'll known breed. the Berkshire. IL
frequently spoken of as English
Berkshire. Large English Berkshire
|or Black English Berkshire. o.
perhaps "large-boned Berkshire" OF
'small-boned Berkshire" The cor.
rect name is Berkshire and the use
OF any or all OF these adjectives con.
veys no additional information. II
does, however, at once mark the
user OF these incorrect and useless
extra names as one unfamiliar with
the name Of the breed as spoken BY
up-to-date stockmen.
To some extent, the use of "big.
! boned" is excusable among the gen.
eral farming classes, for certain
breeders, through a desire to indi.
cate that they are breeding a large
type OF hog. speak OF them as II they
were distinct and well established
class OF the Berkshire breed. AS q
matter OF fact, however, there dc
not exist two distinct classes OF
Berkshires, which can be correctly
spoken OF as large and small-boned
Berkshires. Some Berkshires have
larger bones and are OF larger tyne
than others. but these differences an.
ply only to individuals, and are not
well fixed and do not characterize
special class or family of Berk.

Il straight and parallel lines. In
other words, the top and bottom
lines should be straight and as near
ly parallel as possible. A straight
edge placed along the sides should
touch throughout the length Of the
animal and the width should be the
same behind as at the shoulders and
in the center of the body. The rec
tangular or box-shape is the ideal,
and the nearer the meat-producing
animal approaches in general outline
a parallelogram, the nearer it ap-
proaches perfection in this particu-
lar.
On the large markets Of this
country hogs are divided into 10
or IL classes" several of these
again into "sub-classes' and of
these there are two or three differ
ent grades.
The various breeds of hogs are
generally classed as Of two general
and more or less distinct types. One
is distinctly American and its best
development is seen in the great
corn-growing States of the Central
North. It is generally spoken of as
the fiat hog" or lard" type. This
is the broad-backed, short-legged,
compact, fat hog, most common on
our markets. The other is charac-
terized by longer, deeper, thinner
bodies, longer legs and less fat. It
is known as the bacon" type.
The Two Types of Hogs.
The lard type is much more COM
mon, answering no doubt market de-
mands, for it must be admitted that
the market demand for the bacon
type has not been of such a nature
as to draw our breeders from the
lard type, which naturally results
from the character of the feed used
in the great hog growing sections Of
the United States.
The demand for the bacon type.
however, is said to be increasing and
we may possibly look for a gradual
change In the selection and feeding
OF our hogs which will tend more
towards the development Of the ba-
con type. 1t would appear from the
peculiar conditions existing in the
South that the bacon type must be-
come more popular, but up to the
present breeds Of the lard type are
very generally selected by Southern
farmers who seek to improve their
hog stock. There are several rea-
sons why the bacon breeds are espe-
cially adapted to the conditions ex-
listing in the South. First, our ma
tive stock, and to certain extent
our methods of raising hogs, tend to
the bacon type. Second, corn, the
chief feed used in developing Che
lard hog, is too high-priced for
profitable pork production; but our
facilities for producing heterogeneous
hog feeds, which tend to the devel-
opment Of a lean type Of hog, are
unsurpassed. The hogs of the South
should be grown chiefly on such
crops as cowpeas, soy beans and pea
nuts and these tend to the produc-
ton OF lean meat or the bacon tyne.
Third, most of the hogs grown in
the South are used for home or farm
consumption and the bacon type
produces better quality of meat
with less lard. Right here is one
Southern condition requiring the fat
