jueat by handing him the en-

attempted to paaa, she whs seiz
ed by the throat and dragged from
road into the underbrush. For
tunately a passer-by heard her
■creams and rnabed to the scene In
time.
The child, bleadlng from the
■cratches of her assailant and suf
faring from tbe violent throttling,
was placed in the hands of solid
tons neighbors and an Immediate
■aasch-was begun for the negro. In
a short time he was captured and
after having been positively Identl
fled wa# hurried to Klngstree and
placed In the county Jail, and none
too soon, for a mob to lynch him
was being rapidly organised
On the night of the same day a
body of armed men from the neigh
horhood of the crime baited at the
outskirts of the town and sent
delegation to Sheriff Orabam re
questing his influence In securing an
immediate trial and threatening an
attempt to prevent the law from
Its course. The sheriff prom-
use his efforts to have
speoal term of court ordered, per
suaded the crowd to disband and
return to their homes.
The special term was ordered as
quickly as possible and Tuesday
morning the court was opened by
Judge T. 8. Sease. When the jury
been empannslled there was
hardly standing room in the build

"If moldy cornmeal would cause
pellagra, what was the reason that
the whole Confederate army did not
have the disease?” asked Represen
tative Lamb, of Virginia, of Dr. B.
T. Calloway, the chief of the bureau
of plant Industry, before the house
agrlcnltural committee.
"They were so vigorous they could
throw It- off,- fe presuma.” answered
Dr. Calloway. "But there have been
great changes in the method of
handling corn. The old method of
topping the com resuited In bet
ter maturing and In better harden
ad . grain than- we get in the ne w
process, although that has not beea
thorougly established.
"Great quantities of corn are now
shipped into the South from the
MlssisslpAt valley and .other corn
producing sections of the country,
and the movement usually begins
soon after the corn Is harvested
and corn passing from the cold re
gions Into the warmer section will
sweat. It will undergo fermentation
that we know very little or nothing
about and large quantities of that
corn are sold In the market after
It has gone through one of these
processes, and It deteriorates.
"We are endeavoring to deter
mine what these changes are and
to seegregate or Isolate certain of
ithese eubstances which might be
Injurious, If taken In considerable
quantities. As corn has been
brought into the pellagra problem
and the Department of Agriculture
stands sponsor for the greatest c|bp
the world has ever known, we want
to know If It Is the cause of the
disease and If It Is not the case
we want to know It.”

An Made by the Speaker and the
Piesidswt wi the Senate.
Tbe convening of the legislature
at noon Tuesday was marked by
the usual scenes.
AMERICA AND FRANCE.
French Educator Ghes His First
Impression on Arriving In U. 8.
“In France It Is considered Im
modest to speak about money or
social position, while every one
/speaks 'about love. Here overy
one discusses money and‘social po
sition and It is Immodest to talk
shout love,”
That is the first Impression of
America on Professor Charles Le-
verrler, the youngest member of
the faculty of the University of
Paris, and grandson of the discover
er of the planet Neptune. He Is
In New York to lecture on “Phil
osophy and Literature” before the
Alliance Franchise.
"The thing that has struck me
most about New York," he said,
"faking this city as American, Is
the universal atmosphere of work.
Everybody seems to work here, and

The work of or-
ganUfng wa« smooth, "this- being
the second year of the present ad-
mIntstratios, and the officer* and
attaches being well trained In their
duties.
In 16 minutes both houses had
organized and had informed each
other and the governor that every
thing waa ready for business
Three new members were sworn In,
two in the house, Messrs. D. T.
Smith of Colleton and T. P. Brown
of Florence, and one In the sen
ate, Mr. W. C. Hamrick, of Chero-
kee.
The governor’s message was read
In both houses and the usual reso
lutions Nv^bre adopted, ,referring It
In parts to appropriate commit
tees.
Both hoifses accepted without dis
cussion Winthrop's Invitation to
spend Lee's birthday at the col
lege. The Invitation was present
ed by Governor Ansel as chairman of
the Wlnthrop board. He pressed
the Invitation on the ground that
the menibers of the legislature
would be afforded a good chance to
see "how the State’s money Is be
Ing spent at Wlnthrop, and said a
special train of four coaches had
been chartered for the trip.
In the house Mr. Ayer present
ed a resolution, which was adopted,
Inviting Ml", Jiames Henry Rice,
Jr., of the State Audubon Society
to address both branches on the
subject of protection of game
The house did not touch Its long
calendar Inherited from the last
session, adjourning half an hour
after convening until 11 o’clock
Wednesday.
The senate, however, waded
through Its calendar^ which contain
ed one third reading bill and 99
second reading bills. Most of the
bills were pasSed over, the print
ed bills not being available Tuesday.
In some instances, howlvsr. The un
favorable repofte of committees

The Insurgents Are Defiant, end It

A Washington dispatch saya the
already broad breach between the
“organization” of the house of rep-
resentatlxea *Ad .tb* Republican In
surgents rwaa widened perceptibly
Monday. Monday night there wa*.
every evidence that mutually hostile
acts of the past few days would
continue with increasing bitterness.
All day the insurgents caucussed
In little groups of twos, threes and
fours on the house floor, in the
cloak rooms and the members lob
by, discussing the situation and de
bating the desirability of an early
meeting to form a battle front to
meet the onslaughts that are report
ed to be coming from the organi
zation. Much secrecy was observed
among them. No one would say
when a formal meeting will be
held.
It became known Monday that
the party caucus will be Invoked
against the InVurgents, and on every
occasion when there are differences
between the Republican members
that insurgents will be made to fol
low the program or be forced out
side the pale of the party.
The announcement did not dis
concert the recalcitrant Represen
tatives. They were free In their
expressed opinions that no compul
sory measures would avail anything
to the organization. If the test of
regularity lies in following the “ma
chine” as several denominated It,
they said they preferred to be Ir
regular.
The first battle will occur, It Is
believed, over the selection of the
committee by the house to Investi
gate the Balllnger-Pinchot embro-
gllo, which is several days In the
future. The house Republican]
doubtless will hold a caucus to
name a committee and map out a
program, and here the Insurgents,
It Is predicted, "fish or cut halt.’
A dosen Insurgents said privately
that they would not attend any cau
cus where they knew there was a
pre-arranged plan to discredit them.
Repreaentatlr* Underwood, speak-
Ing for the Democrats of the house,
said the minority would probably
hold a caucus also on the Ballinger
Plnchot Inquisition. There la a
prospect of a Joint Democratic-Re
publican Insurgent committee being
named to oppose the committee be

TRAMP PAYS OLD SCORE.
CLASSIFIED COLUMN
Timely Aid Given Him Brings Hand
some Returns.
Seven years ago James L. Har
vey, now a Rio Grande switchman
at Denver, Col., was brakeman on
a frleght In Oklahoma and befriend
ed a tramp.
^ A few days ago Harvey received
a letter from the tramp, Charles
McNamara, now a rich miner of
Murray, Idaho, inclosing a check
for $500 as a Cristinas gift. Har
vey permitted McNamara to ride
over his division, gave him cloth
ing, a meal, a bed and a $2 bill.
McNamara says In his letter that
he had resolved to kill himself when
he met Harvey. But the help he
got gave him courage to renew his
battle with the world, and he Is now
prosperous. He ttells Harvey to
“give the high sign” when he wants
anything.

THE NEW FERTILIZER.
A discovery of far-reaching Impor
tance to the farmers of the South Is
ths new fertilizer which has been
perfected on one of the Islands near
Charleston. S. C. It has long been
known that lime Is an essential food
for plants of all kinds and that they
eannot live when it has been exhaust
ed from the soil. It has also been
known that old worn-out lands are
extremely deficient In lime, and that
sour, badly-drained lands have their
lime Is s for mthaf Is not usable by
growing crops.
Farmers’ Bulletin No. 124, U. 8
Dept of Agriculture, says: “All
the applications of lime Increased the
yields _• • The best yields were
obtained with the lime In the form
of carbonate, the finely ground oys
ter shells standing first • • Lime
with fertilizer was more profitable
than depending upon fertiliser
alone."
