Reward Offer Effective.

Lake City, Fla, Nov. 1.-Charged
with participation in the lynching of
six ngroes here on May 21 last, the
Columbia county grand jury to-day
indicted Samuel Ward and John At
kinson, residents of Tallahassee, for
murder.
A reward of $4,000 had been Offer
ed by the State for the apprehension
of the persons who took part in the
lynching.
The negroes who were lynched had
had been arrested in Leon county,
the county seat of which is Talla-
hassee, on suspicion of having been
implicated in the murder of Deputy
Sheriff B. B. Smith, of that county,
several days before.
On account of the feeling aroused
by the murder OF Deputy Sherln
Smith, the negroes were removed TO
the Columbia county jail, at Lake
City. Early on the morning OF May
2l, mob composed principally OF
; men who had come from the State
capital, overpowered the sheriff's son,
who was in charge of the jail in the
absence of his father, who was in
Jacksonville, and the six negroes
were taken out and hanged.

sion at the time, and an act was
passed offering a reward of $4,000
for the arrest and conviction OF the
members of the mob.
Other indictments in the case are
expected to follow.

Rock Hill, Nov. "a telegram re-
ceived this morning from President
Johnson of Winthrop college, who
is now at New York city, announces
that Winthrop college has been
awarded 100000 by the Peabody
board, "absolutely without any con-
ditions whatever"
This action was taken at a meet

building of the model school, and for

to Winthrop, and it is but another

the high plane upon which he has
placed this institution.

Buying Beef Cattle.

OF all the factors Wllcn Qctermlne
the profit in feeding beef cattle the
buying. of the cattle is one of the
most important, and one of the most
difficult with which farmers in this
State have had to contend, Clemson
College has lately been doing every
thing possible to induce the railways
to grant reasonable freight rates on
cattle from st. Louis, and other large
stock centers to Washington, Rich
mond, Baltimore, and New York
with a four months feeding limit in
South Carolina, and we still hope
that this arrangement can be made.
The present practice of buying in
North Carolina and Tennessee is un-
satisfactory and expensive, as the
supply of cattle is limited and the
quality badly mixed and the expense
of buying greater than is necessary.
Buying in the large stock centers
would reduce the expense and enable
the farmers to purchase desirable
cattle at any time instead of having
to buy early in the season before
many of them are ready to start feed
ing as is now the case.
There is an old saying that cattle
well bought are half sold and, to as
sist the tanners who are experienced
in this work, Clemson College will
furnish a competent man without
charge for his services to assist in
selecting cattle where a sufficient
number are to be purchased at one
time.
Shorthorns, Herefords, and Aber-
deem Angus are the three popular
beef breeds, and there is practically
no difference in the value Of these
breeds for feeding purposes. En-
deavor to buy cattle as uniform in
color, size, and quality as possible,
of the low set, broad backed, smooth
type, weighing from 900 to 1000
pounds and carrying sufficient flesh
to enable them to finish well in. 100
to 12O days, counting on a gain of
" to 2 pounds per day.
In buying cattle from dealers in
sist on keeping them in a dry lot
without feed or water for IL hours
preceding weighing or of deducting
8 per cent in weight to avoid paying
beef prices for feed and water and an
excessive shrinkage in shipment.
Don't buy young cattle or thin cat
tie or scrubs, as they will not fat
ten readily and will have to be sold
at low prices. Count on an increase
in the value of cattle of cent to
11k cents per pound and buy only
cattle that will fatten quickly and
increase in value as they put on
flesh.
Clemson Callege will gladly furn-
ish all the information necessary re-
garding the proper methods of feed
ing cattle, and will furnish compe-
tent man to visit each farmer free
of charge to render any assistance
necessary. The Experiment Station
will also feed two carloads of cattle
this winter to study further the most
economical methods of producing
beef. PROF. A. SMITH,
Chief Animal Husbandry Division.
