This war said to be first instance in which a governo's message has been delixered orally by its author to either house of the South Carolina general assembly. The governor walked into the hall alone at 8:16 o'clock. ATTACKS ON STEVENSON. The general attack of the governor was against W. P. Stevenson member of the special committee that was appointed to Investigate the conditions at the State Hospital for the Insane The governor took exception to certain statements, attribued to Mr. Stevenson in his speech yesterday morning in the house when the Kirby resolution for a futher investigation Into the asylum matter was under discussion. The governor charged that the statements by Mr. Stevenson were as "false the hinges that swing the gates of hell." He denounced Mr. Stevenson in the bitterest of terms Then Mr. Stevenson came back and showed that the chief executive was basing his statements on a report in an afternoon paper published in Columbia. There was a sharp controversy btween the governor and Mr. Stevenson. The governor said that if the statements in the paper were true he would fight it out personally that he would be dead or vindicated, and that If he were killed "Charlie Smith" would be the governor of South CaroUna "tomorrow morning." The governor grew fiercer as his speech progressed. He declared he meant to "fight." He invited some one out of the hall. He was ready to annihilate some one for the statements. BARNWELL RESENTS INSULT. Diseuslng the report of the speeches father in the same paper 'he governor launched into a bitter attack on N. 11. Barnwell, member of tlie house from Charleston. Mr. Barnwell rose to a point of order when the governor referred to him as acting In a cowardly manner, it took Mr. Barnwell only a few serond- to advance inrough the network of chair; to the speaker's stand where the governor was delivering his address. Disorder reigned. There v was a general uproar. It seemed as If the entire legislative body would be thrown into a fight. Members rushed between Mr. Barnwell and the governor and prevented a fight on the speaker's stand. When the governor had boon called to answer personally for bin reflections upon Mr. Barnwell, he ended his speech with a few words, not referring again to the Charleston member. The governor Immediately left the speaker's stand and proceeded to leave the hall. There was a rush ol members to the rear of the hall. ANOTHER NEAR FIGHT. W. F.

For some time owing to the scare- ro] ity of butter and beef men are get- on ting interested in cattle. The agricultural papers, bulletins from exMi periment stations and the many lec- rr. ! tures always ready to tell people how its to do tilings, will give much informa- tei tion. Here are afew questions for ^ the consideration or rarniers who pf contemplate going into the cattle an business. Shall I raise beef or dairy fr; cattle? What breed shall I select? RO How many cattle will my farm support even in an unfavorable season? ra What is the best all-round pastur- fa age? If the farmer decides to raise ri, beef cattle, he should consider that nr they will require about twice as ro much feed as the small dairy cattle. Px He must laso understand that he must revel allow them to get poor to for want ot food and water. I i the > >)id place he should iaise all the roughage on the farm. N'o one can afford to buy hay to feed tit t.eof cattle. ,1T There are several kinds of beef pr cattle, each of which is a favorite th with many farmers. The Short Horn cl is the old Kentucky breed, some of which have been pushed up to enor- to nious size. Occasionally they weigh fl< more than 2,000 pounds. Hut of the v?r three favorite varieties they will do to well to weigh 1.200 pounds when 15 cr 1 to 18 months old. If kept a year longer they may weigh 1,500 to 1,800 \v pounds, but it does not pay to keep cl them too long unless food is abund- w ant. The advantage in beef cattle is at that they net better than our com- rr mop cattle. They lay up the fat with dr tne lean, giving what we call mar- A bled beef, which is the perfection of sj meat. Our common cattle deposit gt their fat in the shape of tallow, sf ; which is not worth much on the sj ir arket. hi f The nttve grass growing on up-d' lend and abandoned bottom lands P' ? cannot be depended on to pasture th attic.
