took on 400 negroes, set sail for the
United States and landed them on
the coast of Georgia. Lamar's plan
was to scatter the negroes about on
a number of plantations until ia
vorable moment arrived to sell them.
He succeeded in the first part Of this
programme, but not in the last. The
friends upon whom he depended
turned traitors; he was arrested,
haled before the Federal courts, and
the negroes from whose sale he
counted upon reaping fortune were
seized by the United States marshal
pending orders from the court. Such,
however, was not the case with all
the blacks. Over one-third of them
were appropriated, hidden, sold, etc.,
by those whom Lamar regarded as
friends, and upon whom he relied for
the successful execution of his plan:

What to Do on Farm.

l. Sow wheat and oats; get the
oats in as soon as possible; treat
seed of both crops with formalin or
bluestone if smutty, and look for
cheat and other weed seeds.
2. Keep on sowing cover crops;
still time to SOW rye, vetch, crimson
clover; also rape and white turnips.
3. Put the turning plows to
work, especially on clay soils; if you
subsoil, this is the time for it.
4. Take special care of the land
to prevent winter washing; fix up
terraces, open out bitches, etc.; un-
derdrain wher it is needed.
5. Get the corn and corn stover
under shelter early; look after all
late crops that will make feed.
6. Store the cotton under shell
ter; keep it picked off as closely as
practicable.
Z. Get the land ready for plant
ing fruit trees, berries, grapes, etc.;
plant winter garden crops.
8. Increase the hogs grain ra-
ton; feed the COWS literally enough
to keep them from failing with their
milk.
9. Put the apples, potatoes and
other fruits and vegetables safely
away; if you are without good
place to keep them, there is still
time to prepare it.
10. Talk with your neighbors
about the roads and see if you can
not stay out of the mud this winter;
at least arrange things so that the
yard and barn yard will not be mud

MAKES A GREAT CHANGE.
Called from Barber Shop to a Col
lege Professor.

A dispatch from Greenville says.it
is believed there that the assertion
may be safely ventured that Green
vile is the only city in existence,
certainly on this continent, that has
had citizen called from the vocation
of barber to a professorship of Latin
in college or university.
In 1884, G.. A. Poetz came to
Greenville from the Black Forest re-
gion of Germany, soon after the ar
rival in this city of Prof. Adolf Won
Fingerlin, who taught at one time
in Furman University. Prof. Won
Fingerlin is now in California and
he has called Mr.. Poetz to join him
in his university work there, know
ing him even as young man to have
been proficient in Latin.
G. A. Poetz, was the first white
barber to open for business in Green
vile, and probably the first in South
Carolina. AS a young man he came
to this city, and for years in his leis-
ure he has pursued his linguistic
studies, until now at the age of 40 he
is said to be one of the most profci-
ent men in Latin in this country.
During his citizenship here, he gain
ed the confidence of everyone, and
good wishes of innumerable friends
go with him into his new home and
his new field of work.

NOVEL METHOD OF lHAzING.
Freshmen Locked in Box Stalls Like
Horses and Fed on Oats.

Twenty-four freshmen of the Bal
timore College of Dental Surgery,
their faces painted black, their coats
turned inside out their trousers roll
ed up well above their knees, spent
last Friday night locked in separate
box stalls at Pimlico. Not only did
the freshies sleep like horses, but
they had been put through the PAGES
of race horses prior to being locked
up. Around the outside of the track
stood Juniors on guard with huge
whips, so that in case any of the
human race horses became fractions
they would be easily whipped back
into the races.
They were fed on corn and oats.

Long Makes Statement.

The Gastonia Gazette is in receipt
of the following letter from Hugh
Long an account of whose expert
ences at Wagner, S. c., has already
appeared in this paper, and publishes
it believing that it will prove of great
interest to his hosts of friends in
Castor:
Columbia, S. G..
The Gazette, Gastonia, N. G.
My Dear Sirs: Please excuse me
for not answering your telegram to
me at Aiken. I have had an expert
ence that surpasses many of the sto-
ries, but it is too long to tell unless
1 had the time and a good typewriter,
and my typewriter was torn up by
the drunken mob. I do not care to
make statement for publication
other than to say that I have done
only that which saved my own life.
1t is much better for my defense than
the public yet knows. I will give
bond in a few days and take a trip
to North Carolina. I was so worried
by all kinds of callers in Aiken who
wanted to see me from curiosity,
wanted to give me money, cigars,
etc., that I decided to come to the
pen<tentiary night before last.
l have the friendship and sympa-
thy of probably Is to 80 per cent. of
the people of Aiken county and the
mob was a drunken crowd melted by
eight or ten men who led them. I
don't care for any newspaper article
on the subject, only you may assure
my friends in Castor county that I
am all right now and will not be sub
jected to any punishment for the
killing and that I will be a member
of the next South Carolina legisla-
ture.
I appreciate the interest of my
friends. 1 will later tell the whole
story and it would make thrilling
novel but just now I am still suffer-
ing some from the secret assault and
for other reasons prefer to be quiet.
With many thanks,

HUGH LONG.

Mr.. and Mrs. W. G. Long returned
last night from Aiken, S. c., where
they had been with their son, Mr..
Hugh Long, whose trouble is told of
in this paper. Mr.. Hugh Longs wife
and baby accompanied them home.
Mr.. Long said that he found affairs
better than he expected, and that the
facts are such as to make the shoot
ing of Pickens Gunter by Hugh Long
an act of self-defense. Gunter at
tackled Long it is said while Long
was reading a paper, struck him on
the back of the head with a stick
and knocked him down and jumped
on him and was beating him terribly
when the shot was fred. Longs face
is badly bruised and swollen and Mr..
Long says that he does not see how
his son could see to fire a shot so
badly beaten are his eyes and face.
Mr.. Long has not been locked up in
Jail, but has merely been under
guard in the sitting room. He is
now in the penitentiary at Columbia,
having left yesterday for that place.
Mr.. Long says that he is sure his
son will be at home in few days, as
he will be allowed to give BAIL

of naked savages and sordid slave
hunters they declared was real
treat so rarely enjoyed that they
proposed to make the best of it while
it lasted. The next day Lamar ar
ranged a dinner in honor of the
British officers, a dinner that was
given on board the Wanderer. He
had completely disarmed their sus-
picions By stating that, as a gentle
man of wealth, he and some friends
were making a pleasure cruise to
India.
This dinner was a great success.
Champagne flowed like water and
every one except Lamar became
drunk. While the revel was at its
height Lamar asked one of the guests
if he did not think the Wanderer
would make a capital SLAYER, a sally
which excited uprorious laughter
and applause among Her Britannia
Majesty's representatives, who de-
clared that Lamar was a trump. That
night the man-of-war sailed away
in pursuit of an imaginary SLAYER
that, according to reports that La
mar had previously set in circula-
ton, was down the coast loading ne
groes.
The rest of the story is soon told.
