Khight is a Kershaw man and the crime of which he and Trull are accused Is supposed to havebeen committed In 'the Manchester cot ton mill vlllag on the eighth day of June. The murdered mail was foun across the Southern railway tracks near the village by aoolored man who, with his wife, was bound for the rallwa station. Hurryying to the station the negro found a < po liceman with whom he retunred to the wounded man. From Brown's condition at the time of the police i man's arrival it was concluded that he had been beaten oyer the head with a heavy, sharp instrument and that he bad> been dragged to the track in ' the hope htat a passing train would so mutilate his body that\ wounds administered by his assailants would not be notleeable. ~ The unfortunate man was carried to hlfs home where he died soon af terward without regaining} conscious ness.

It has boon known for many years that, tho few hogs which re cover from cholera are henceforth protected from it ho disease. In oth | or wordn they aro immune. This is duo to tho fact, that those hogs, dur ing their sickness, manufacture in their bodies certain substances an il hodiea or antl toxlncs which pro tect them agains* further attacks of cholera. investigators in the IJ, 8. Depart ment of Agriculture, discovered that if a largo quantity of blood from bogp affectod with cholera is inject ed into an immune hog this hog will produco additional antl toxineu or auti bodies. In fact these aubstanc ob are produced to ?ueh an extent that blood drawn from this hog will protect healthy hogs from chol era when such blood Is injected In to thoir bodies before they contract tho disease. This blood or the fluid portion of It, 1b called anti hog cholera serum. Some ask why this serum does not cuuso cholera. It 1b so highly charged with antl toxinoB or anti-bodies thut are deadly to the virus of cholera that It can contain none of the virua which causes the diiseuse and will therefore never cause cholera. Tho method" of serum manufacture, in interesting ? also expensive ? but too complex to bo described in this short article.
