How a Sumter Farmer Made
Big Crop Corn this Year.
J. M. Woodloy in Sumter Dai'y
Item :
Early in the year I broke up
my c??rn land deep with twohorse
ploughs, laid it oH in live
iun3 auu uouaea it out aoout
the middle of March.
I planted a seed that I had
been improving lor a good many
years?bred it up from the big
gourd seed variety crossed with
flint corn. It lias an extra large
cob, well filled with long grains ;
and I have selected sixty ears of (
tins corn that shelled out a
bushel. Planted the latter part
of March n.n<t c?m n ?*/>?<!
_
but crows and birds broke the
stand so badly that I planted |
the whole crop over in the last '
week in April, and got a perfect ]
stand, eighteen to twenty.four i
inches apart, in the drill.
My fertilizer was 100 pounds j
kainit, 200 pounds cotton seed
meal and 100 pounds nitrate of ]
soda, making 400 pounds in all ]
per acre. I put down 100 pounds <
V kainit and meal mixed at time j
t of planting; 200 pounds more i
of same mixture a t second '
ploughing, and 100 pounds soda <
at fourth and last ploughing;
cultivated crop altogether with 11

18-inch lor second and 24 inch <
for I wo last ploughinys. Did <
not put Dixie or turn ploughs in (
it after I rolled the middles in i
the spring. i
We had entirely too much rain i
all through July for cotton, but s
tho continuous rains struck the
corn exactly at the right time,
ho much 8'? that it did not suffer
an hour for rain from the time
it was up until it was fully matured.
The yield of corn averaged
a fraction over 50 bushels
per acre on 150 acres that I
worked with contract labor, but
I had 25 acres more worked by
share croppers that did not do
nearly so well, it being a well
known fact that negroes cannot
grow corn successfully. 1 will
make more net prolit per acre
this year on corn than I will on
12-cent cotton, i have putjaway
plenty of corn to supply a twenty-horse
farm another year, and
raise my own meat, and have
tour thousand (4,1)00) bushels
of corn and forty thousand '40,000)
pounds of good, sound fodder
for sale.
Double Lynching.
Two Neexoes T
J 111 ,
Barnwell for Killing a
"White Man.
Columbia Record, Dec. 27th.
Two negroes were lynched in
Barnwell county last Friday and
the first news ol the crime has
ju6t been received in Columbia i
today when Governor Ileyward
received the official report of the
sheriff. From the report it is
evident that the lynching was
one of the most unprovoked
crimes recently committed, and
Governor Hey ward will order a
thorough investigation of the
whole alFair and endeavor to
plaee the responsibility where it
belongs.
According to the report by
Sheriff Creech, two negroes,
Frank DeLoacli and his son John
approached the home of IJayne
S. Graddock, a white man, to
collect a debt. Some words
passed and Craddock was killed
The two negroes were arrested,
and, while waiting until they
could be taken to Barnwell, were
confined in a shed. Here a mob
of wliite men took thetn out and
riddled their bodies with hollo's.
Afierwards W. II. Hunter, a ,
wliite man, who appears to have
had the prisoners in charge,
wired Sheriff Creech that tlie
prisoners had escaped.
The Chicken Fight in Vicinity

Rock Hill, December 26.?
Special to News and Courier :
There was quite a lot of speculation
as to the outcome of the
petition sent to the Governor in
regard to suppressing tbe cocking
main at U. F. Thotnasson's
pit, three and three quarter
miles east, of Rock Ilill. This
petition was circulated by resi
ients of that neighborhood and
