ever been chronicled in Anderson's
history, cauie to light lust
Sunday morning. It was at
Bethany church about 12 miles
below this city. While the people
wore congregating for worship
several men in strolling through
the cemetery remarked frenh
earth about one of the graves.
a ?
nuspicion was aroused. ltie
grave was identified as that o*
Miss Polly Ann Callahan who
died August 20, 1899. Her
brothers, Isaac and .James F Callar>
han, wero informed of the discovery
and then immediately began a
close investigation. They fonnd
that the box had been riimed onen
II I
with picks or other heavy in
st rumen ts, the cotlin torn into and
the glass of the lid crushed. One
of tho earrings of the deceased
was missing hut it is unreason*
aide to suppose that this was done
by the fiends, 'l'he pillow and
clothing had been considerably
disturl>ed and this substantiates
the belief that tho motive of tho
deed was tho 1io|hj of finding
treasure buried with tho corpse.
This theory is founded upon the
rumor among tho negroes and tho
ignorant class of white jieople that
Miss Callahan had remarked on
ono occasion that she purposed
to have her money buried with
her uDder her pillow.
The authorities are working to
ascertain tho guilty parties.

Sheep Raising a Failnre.
l'lio Experience of Farmer B D
Spr ngsof York County.
There i.s no profit in sheep
raising in York county?at least,
not at present. Any man who
trios it invites his financial ruin,
rhis is tho lesson that has been
taught by tho intelligent experiment
of Mr B D Springs, in Fort
Mill township. A few months
igo Mr Springs hud nearly '200
sheep. Now he has less than a
hundred. It is all on account of
the dogs. They came from the
country around for a distance of
ten or twelve miles, sometimes
killing as many as a half dozen
sheep in a day and carrying ofl
lambs until it was impossible to
keep track of the number that has
been lost.
'Inn ?.?> (l.n
m ><w vv/ii ? tw UO Ull HIC jllUtC
have killed forty^seven dogs with
their rifles during the past few
months; but this slaughter seems
to have been in vain. The supply
of dogs has as yet shown no sign?
(*f diminution, and notwithstanding
the utmost vigilance of tiif
guards, there are still dogs which
can kill sheep. Mr Springs hat
about decided to give it up. lib
tlock of sheep is for sale, lit
will continue to raise a few breed
ors; hut so far as keeping up the
tigtit with all the dogs of the
country is concerned, ho begs tc

Mr Editor: ? I thought a few
lines in regard to the condition of
crops in this section of country i
might be of interest to Lancastrians.

we will make on an average about
45 bushels per acre on Washataw
bottoms. On the uplands it is
not so good. Cotton looks as tine
as ever I saw it. It is thought
by the people that they will make
ii halo to the acre on the bottoms
while uplands wont make over
one half. This crop is without
any fertilizer or any other kind
of manure.

nearest railroad market, about
