RAISE POULTRY AND STOCK.
Federal Expert Says Poultry Will BE
Tried in Ten Counties.

Columbia, January 1.-Mr. w. w.
Long, farm demonstration for this
State, was in Columbia to-day, and
while here had a conference with Mr..
Hare, poultry expert of the United
States department of agriculture. and
Col. E. J. Watson, commissioner for
the State, in reference to beginning
poultry work in this State. 1t is pro-
posed to confine the work to 10 coun-
ties that have already been selected.
Poultry associations will be organized
in each of these 10 counties and the
members will be treated as poultry
demonstrators. Mr.. Hare will visit the
farms of the demonstrators for the
purpose of instructing them on the
matters of feeding, housing, breeding
and marketing. 1t will be the policy
to encourage the raising of one par
ticular breed in county for the rea-
son that very much easier and more
profitable results can be had in the
selling of poultry of the same breed
in the Northern and Eastern markets.
In certain markets in the North the
brown eggs bring two or three cents
more per dozen than do white eggs;
the same condition exists in other
markets in favor of the white eggs.
Mr.. Long was asked as to the de-
velopment and the policy of the live
stock work that is now being taken
up in certain counties of the State
by Clemson College in cooperation
with the United States department
of agriculture He said that the poll
cy Of organization is the same as just
outlined with reference to the pro-
posed poultry work. 1t is the inten-
ton to advise the use of the Here
ford breed for beef cattle. The idea
is to have the farmers to raise from
3 to 10 head of beef cattle on each
farm, and by having the same breed
On the different farms neighborhood
can easily make up carload Of the
same type of beef cattle. This al
wavs means two or three cents more
per pound than would be received
for a car load made up CT different
breeds. He added that great interest
is being manifested in the live stock
DEVELOPMENT and that Clemson COL
lege is advising the development
along conservative lines, insisting
that the farmers first make prepara-
tion by making permanent pastures,
growing forage crops and learning
something of the business before in
vesting heavily in the purchase OF
cattle. The people in the South can
never hope, and in fact, should not
attempt to make this live stock
country. What is being undertaken
is to grow live stock in connection
with cotton and other crops and this
can be done at a profit without re-
ducing the cotton acreage. The idea
is to advocate sufficient number of
live stock on each farm to consume
the waste of the farm and to utilize
the idle land.

HOUNDS CATCH ASSA1LANT.
Wife of Confederate Veteran Attack
ed BY Black Fiend.

On Wednesday about II o'clock
buck Hill, alias Buck Mcleod, ne
gro, assaulted a white woman while
she was at her home near Browns
chapel, which is ten miles southeast
of Columbia on the Leesburg road.
The negro was trailed by the blood
hounds from the State penitentiarv
and captured about 430 o'clock BY
Sheriff Mccain, Coroner Scott and
the members of posse who left Co.
lumbia in automobiles at l o'clock
Wednesday for the scene of the
crime The negro was lodged in the
Richland county jail that night.
The negro's victim, who is about
50 years old, is the wife of Confed-
crate veteran. a man of excellent
standing in his community. She was
alone in the house at the time the
crime was committed. Her husband
had gone to Columbia on business
and did not leave for home until
about 2 o'clock. He was Informed
of the affair after he had gotten a
few miles from Columbia.
There were threats of violence
against Buck Hill after he was cap
tured. While Sheriff Mccain talked
to the crowd which had been aiding
in the man hunt, the negro was put
in the automobile of Coroner Scott
and carried to Columbia. The
crowd, which grew rapidly as the
news of the crime spread over the
Browns chapel section of the county,
was not difficult to handle, but Sher-
iff Mccain took the precaution of get
ting the negro away from the scene
as soon as possible.
The unfortunate woman is said to
be in a serious condition as result
of the negro's assault upon her. She
was badly bruised about the face and
neck. while one of her hands was
hurt in the struggle with the negro.
The sheriff's office was notified by
telephone of the crime about l
o'clock by Mr.. Castor, the principal
OF a school near Browns chapel. who
was one of the first men to go to the
scene. After getting the dogs from
the penitentiary Sheriff Mccain left
Immediately in an automobile, TAX
ing Guard Robbins, Officer Henry
Dunning and DR.. ]. E. Heise with
him.
The bloodhounds readily took the
regros trail away from the dwelling
house in which the crime was COM
mitted. The dogs followed the tracks
for some time, then became confus-
ed by cross trails, but after little
they carried the tracks to Hills
house, which is only mile from the
scene of the crime The negro Hill,
alias Mcleod, was found in the house
with several other negroes. He was
arrested and taken before the woman
on whom the crime was committed.
According to Sheriff Mccain, the Wo-
man positively identified the negro as
the one who committed the assault
upon her.
When the negro was arrested at
his house by the sheriff, he insisted
that he must be allowed to change
his clothes and shoes before he left
home. He was taken before the Wo-
man dressed just as he was. 1t IS
said that the shoes he wore were OF
the same size as the footprints lead
ing away from the scene of the as
sault.

WOODMEN OF
THE WORLD,

Last Sunday was busy day
for the wOod-cboppers. The new
hall on Iberia street was packed
with some 200 of them. In this
number Jeanerette and st. Mar
tinyllle were well represented.
This large gathering was called
together especially to witness and
participate in the comforting Of
the "Protection0 degree upon "A
candidates. After the comforting
of the degree Gen. A. b Booth.
Past Head Consul, of New Or.
leans, delivered an address, last
ing over an hour. District Mana
ger Henderson and DIR. E. S. Full
ton followed in good and timely
addresses, which were well re-
ceived.
A luncheon and a plenty of soft
drinks were served. We are told
that that crowd emptied 200 bot.
ties of pop. There was no beer
allowed.
The occasion was a grand one
and will long be remembered as a
food water mark for all societies
to extend their membership.
The Woodmen are sparing no
pains in fitting up elegant club and
lodge rooms in their new building
on Iberia street. The club rooms
will be ready for the opening in
about ten days, when they will
represent a suite OF as fine rooms
as may be found in the Attakapas
dedicated to that purpose.
These rooms are furnished with
mission furniture, manufactured
by Mr.. Edgar P. Folse, OF this
city, and better could not be had
from anywhere.
The club will embrace com.
plete gymnasium, two pool tables,
a $3.50 player piano sold by DR..
J. b. Huh, chess aud checker ia
bles, and reading room. The hall
is l01 feet long by 80 feet wide.
1t may all be thrown into one
large auditorium whenever deslr.
ed by folding back the partitions,
for such occasions as last Sunday.

SOUTHWESTERN
REFLECTIONS.

Last week something was said
about corn, with special reference
to seed selection. How many OF
our farmers understand how uner
tringiy the seed governs the quail
ty of coIn7
How many know that corn car
be bred up just as effectively al
blooded cows or horses can bt
produced by proper breedlDgs
Those who do not know the oS
pOrtunity to learn definitely, as
we'll as those of little faith who
may be revived and strengthened
for on Saturday July 25 at two
o'clock in the afternoon, Professor
A. F. Kidder, of the chair of
Agron0my of the State Agricul
tural College at Baton Rouge,
will give demonstration of corn
seed selection at the Crowley Rice
Experiment Station.
Mr.. Kidder comes from the
great corn growing State of Hi.
nois. he has specialized IN corn
breeding and is probably the most
capable expert on corn in the
South. There ought to be thou
sand farmers from all over South
west Louisiana present at that
meeting. Will you be one of
them?
Professor Kidder will take his
auditors out into the corn fields
and illustrate his talk by actually
selecting the corn on the stalks,
and telling how to do it and why.
From corn to cattle tick the
transition Ia natural and easy.
DO you expect to have corn to fat.
ten cattle ticks witbg If not,
think about that dipping vat and
get busy with it.
Jefferson Davis parish police
jury will contribute one. half the
cost Of one vat in such wald, if
the people will contribute the 9TH
or half. That's good beginning.

JUDGE S. 0. NUCkOLLS

The second primary in til
contest for the City JudgeShiI
took place Oh last Tuesday AM
| resulted in returning Mr.. s. q
Nuckolls as the Democratic nomi
| nee for the office, az against Mr.
Leopold DeBlanc. The vote was
as follows:
s. o. Nuckolls, ..............33..
Leopold DeBIanc, 294
Nnckolls' majority, ....... IS
Ballots spollt, Ii
The regular special election, foI
filling the vacancy IN the office OF
City Judge, Will take place on next
Tuesday, the 2lst instant In
that election Mr.. Nuck0lls will be
the standard bearer of the Demo
cratic party, and III all probability
he will be without opposition.
In the first primary, with seven
candidates in The field, there were
6lO votes cast. AT the second
primary, with but two candidates
in the running and with very nn-
favorable weather prevailing,
there were 33 more votes cast
than in the first. This is hardly
the rule in primaries 1t is a Int.
tie pecul ar that two candidates
could attract more attention and
action from the qualified voters
than could the seven candidates.
The fakt in itself would indicate
that there was some foundation
for the rnmOTs of "factionsn which
we mentioned last week.
A further analysis of the vote
of the two primaries exempliies
the claims of the advocates of the
preferential ballot and accentu
ates the claim of It's thorough
adaptability to all such elections,
vlz:-ln the first primary Mr.
received l16 votes out
of total of 6l0 votes. In the
second primary he received 332
out of total of 643. In all prob
ability the 116 who voted in the
first primary, returned and voted
the same in the second primary.
The difference bet ween his two
votes is PIG. All of this number
who participated in the first pri-
mary voted for other candidates
than Mr.. Nuckolls; he was their
''SecOnd Choice candidate and
was so voted for in the second
primary. There is no probability
that the preferential ballot would
have changed the result; but
there is the thorough adaptability,
,f placing the two votes on one
ticket and voting that ticket ID
)ne election instead of two or
three elections.
In the second primary there
we're II "spollt ballots. We are
old that ON some Of these the !
voter had expressed his prefer
,nce between the validating sig.
natures on the back of the ticket,
instead of between the candid ates
III the face of the ticket. This
confusion of the voter, in all
probability, grew out of the IN
given him to "vote for
he frst' or "second name" Oh
he ticket, and he did not know
which side of the ticket he had
Ip. "And pity It's it's true"

RAIN STORM.

While this section has several
times before endured measured
rainfall of six inches in twenty
four hours, many hold that posi-
big never before had a six inch
rain fallen in so short time.
On Monday forenoon fine mist
drifted on gentle breeze. This
mist grew in density till it assum
ed the proportions Of showers,
which continued through the aft.
ernoon and evening. Between
one and four o'clock Tuesday
morning the rain came down in
sheets, accompanied by frequent
and vivid flashes OF lightning and
terrific peals of thunder. By
dawn all low places became lakes;
streets were flooded from property
lines to property lines; sidewalks
in many sections Of the town were
submerged; bridges and crossings
were atloat. The drainage sys
tenn was inadequate to receive
and carry off such a volume of
water in so short time.
The rainfall Of Tuesday morn.
ing was 81 inches.
The southern and western por.
tiOns of the city we're submerged

Mr.. Cias. A. Conrad had but few
acres OF his place left above wa
ter. The feeding and care of his
stock had to be accomplished by
boats.
The Standard Oil Co.'S place of
business was completely covered
with water.
The short road to Spanish Lake
war submerged and closed. A
red flag marked the place where
the bridge had been.
