Starkvillo Is a hamlet three miles from Leoshurg. It Is believed the moh wanted James Keith, a negro, worst. Most evidence, It Is said, was against him. Moreland was killed when he went to Felix Lake's home to arrest another negro. Keith hatl been removed to safety. The mob cut the wires leading north from Sylvester. This prevented the fate of the negroes being known for I hours. The negroes weje obtained at 10 o'clock last night when Sheriff L. | A. Potts and the jailor at Sylvester, were awakened by four or jive men, who announced they had captured a negro and wanted to Jail him. The ntllcers watched the men calmly losen the bonds. Suddenly the officers were seized and keys obtained. At that mo ment several automobiles drove up. The men in them awaited in taktng the negroes from the cell, and drove rapid ly north. The bodies were found by Ix>e coun ty citizens hanging in full view of the road, but were not cut down for sev eral hours after found.

A tpio*tlon of much Interest among automobile users Is how high Is gaso lino llkolv ti? go before the presold upward bounce comes to a termination. It was stilling in tlreenvllle today at 'Jti cents a Kallon. According to a man in close touch with the situation, the advance is likely t<> ascend to cents a gallon, or even U), before the top price Is reached. As the silver lining to the cloud, the w hole situation may lie re Moved in the next two or throe months In the opinion of (ho authority from whom this information was obtained. This may conic either through a les sening of the heavy demands from abroad or a larger supply. According to the Piedmont's Informant the Imme diate problem Is more one of the trans portatlon than It Is one of production. On account of the lack of facilities for economical transportation from the tin portant producing centers there is an unusual shortage of supply in the oast. This was notably in evidence, It was stated. In the case of the California Held. The shutting up of the Panama canal cut off that waterway route, with Its reduced freight charges from the coast to the east. The oil now coining from Vjillfornla to the oast must pay trans-con tinental gasoline railroad rates. The oil produced In eastern Mexico was practically all go ing to England In tank steamers requi sitioned by the British government. It has been difficult to obtain figures reliable and up-to-date as to the In crease in consumption in gasoline in the United States in recent years. The following statistics come from a source that should make them depend able : Iii 11MH) the total gasoline consupin tion in tho United States was 5,000, 000 barrels. In 11)05 it had risen to 5,N(K).00(). Tn 1010 it had risen to 10. 000. 000 barrels. By the end of 11)14 (he consumption of gasoline had again practically doubled, the figures being 20.000.000 barrels. The estimated con sumption of gasoline in this country in 15)1(5 is placed at 30,000,000 bar rels. With increase like this ahead the pressure for some low-priced fuel that may be used as a substitute for gaso line will continue, with growing force. ? (Jreenville Piedmont. PREPARE WORK STOCK. D? Not Put Horses and Moles to Plow Until They are in Condition. Cleuison College, Jan. 25. ? At this season, when farmers in South Caro lina are beginning to think about the ork of the next few months, the An mal Husbandry Division of (Mem son College directs the fanner's attention to something that may have an lni|K>r tant bearing on his whole year's work md that it will he well to keep in mind ?is spring draws near. This is to get ? lie work stock in lit condition before beginning the heavy spring work. on many farms in this state the vork stock stand idle most of the win ter and receive light grain rations. Such animals require at least two veek's lifting to get them in condition to do hard work. The principal things to do in these two weeks are to in- j ?rease the grain ration gradually to a 'orinal work ration and to give light work, increasing steadily as with the feed. Frequently horses and mules are! put to plow with no preparation of this iort. They lose flesh rapidly and can fall off so much in one week that it1 will be almost lni|>ossible to get them back in good condition before the sea son of heaviest work is at an end. It 1 Is not only that these unprepared ani mals have not the vitality for hard, work, but the sudden increase in food often goes so hard with their digestive systems that they got off their feed, j Other things to attend to at the same, time are the collar and the harness. See that the inside of the collar is< thoroughly clean and smooth and" that It fits the horse's shoulder If 4t doesj IVot lit, do not use it, as it will cause <oros and chafing. ? Overhaul, repair, and clean the harness. The Printer's Devil. The term printer's devil applied to the boy who does the ehorlng around a printing office has a peecullar ro mantic history. In early days print ing was styled the ^black art," and printers were sup{>osed to he in league with 8atan. Rut it was in the time of Aldus Minutius in Venice that the: matter took a serious turn. This was the famous printer who first published the Oreek and Roman classics. Hej took into his employ a negro boy who! was homeless on the streets of Venice, i The f>eoplc supposed the hoy was an Imp of Satan and that he assited In i printing. - Mobs collected about the of fice and were about to wreck it when the !>oy was brought forward and ex hibited showed that the boy was flesh and blood but he was still called the "printer's devil" and every boy in hisj j)ositlon ever since has been so culled. ?
