GOVERNOR IGNORED South Carolina Chief Executive Witnesses Lynching.. TROOPS OUT OF STATE Victim Was Negro Who Attacked White Girl and Cut Her Throat. Heyward's Appeal to Mob Was in Vain. A Columbia, S. C., special says : Within the shadow of the home of iiis victim. Miss Jennie Brooks, after having been identified by her, and after Governor D. C. Heyward, who went to the sc-ne of the trouble and had addressed the mob in vain, Bob Davis, the negro who on Monday .murderously attacked Miss Brooks with intent to commit assault, and who afterwards outraged a negro girl 14 years old, was lynched about 7:30 o'clock Thursday evening. * (Governor H -yward reached the scene shortly after the negro had been captured. A platform was erected in fence corner on the premises of tm victim's tatner irom wmcn tiov- j eruor Heyward addressed the mob in an effort to prevent the lynching. The governor beseeched the mob not to lynch Davis, but in vain. At the-conclusion of his speech the governor was vociferouosly cheered. The mob then removed the prisoner to a place within a short distance of the home of the victim, wnere the negro was riddled with bullets. It is ir.possible to estimate the crowd, as citizens from several counties had gathered at the scene and for two days had been in pursuit of the fiend, but it is certain that hundreds of bullets were sent through his body. The militia in that section of the state is now encamped at Chickamauga and there were no nearby troops to be called. The governor's guards and the Richland Volunteers of Columbia had been ordered to hold themselves in readiness in the event that their services were neded, but the mob was determined and it is doubtful if the presence of soldiers could have prevented the lynching. nnirnn woe /vontlinori in a prppk\ L11 r? noo VM|/WW? , tied hand and foot and carried to the home of his victim for identification. Four men were delegated to escort him to the house. The young lady, lying on her bed, with a deep gash in her throat, turned her eyes toward the negro. "That's the scoundrel," she said, "I know him by his eyes." The negro was removed outside of the house, where a platform had been erected for the governor. "Hear the governor," said someone, and he began in his clear voice a most impassioned appeal. "I know," he said, ""that nothing could take place that could keep you from hearing the governor of South Carolina." The crowd chered. lustily, and clapped their hands in admiration. "I come here alone," he continued, "not bringing any troops, only two newspaper men came with me, and they, as well as ?, are South Carolinians, just as you are, with like feelings. You are my ffriends. Here I am not alone as your governor, but as your friend. I come to appeal to your manhood. The question is, Shall the people be allowed to be ruled by their passions and prejudices, or shall the supremacy and the majesty of the law be upheld? I promise you on rr.y honor that as speedy a .trial as the law allows shall be held. I would not ob.tj&ct to .cutting the rope to hang than: scoundred, provided the law says | ?0." It was one of the most picturesque sights ever witnessed, either in this .etate or any other. 1 ' "J am here alone," went on the /"governor, s:but I represent the maj esty of the law, I represent the state of iSouth Carolina, your state and mine, and I say to you, I beg you, I implore you in God's name, don't put another stain upon our fair state. I plead with you to let the law take Its course. You have an opportunity here, a splendid opportunity, to let it be said that South Carolina leads *?n this matter. Let us reason together, fee! just as you ao, i nave uveu -in the country and realize the dangers to which our women are constantly - exposed, but there is something higher than the wreaking of vengeance on that black devil and fiend of feell. You won't enjoy it tomorrow when :you look back upon it all." Just here the men came up to the stand and said: "We appreciate what you say, but we are not going to do it, we have stood this thing Jong enough." Many shouted for the governor to go on, and he concluded his fruitless appeal to prevent the lynching. STORM VISITS PENNSYLVANIA. Great Damage Done by Wind and Rain in Several Counties.

Aftark nn TV*ae Tnwn hv NearO Troops Has Aroused Citizens. A dispatch from Brownsville, Texas, says: "No replies being received by the investigating committee to requests for protection and relief from the strain under which this *ity has been since the outrage committed by the negro soldiers on Monday night, the committee has sent a most urgent message to President Roosevelt, United States Senators Culberson and Bailey, an.l Governor Lanham, detailing the outrage and stating that after two days' diligent inquiry, it has been found that no blame attaches to the citizens and asking that the negroes be replaced by white troops. The message states' that threats have been made "by the soldiers that tfcey will break out again, and burn the town, and it is feared the five commissioned officers cannot control the men. The governor and senators are im plored to do all they can to secure the removal of the negro troops. It is expected the government investigation will result in a courtmartial for one or more officers. A citizens' guard of 150 men is stationed along the road between the city and Fort Brown, and if the negro soldiers attempt to leave the garrison it is the avowed purpose of the citizens to shoot them down.. UNREST IN SANTO DOMINGO. Rebellion Expected to Break Out on Island at Any Moment. San Domingo is again in a ferment. According to dispatches received by the state department, more revolutionary troubles are expected there at any time. Commander Southerland, who i3 in command of the American fleet, which is guarding the island against filibustering expeditions, has been warned to look out for parties from Porto Rico or other neighboring islands. CLEARING HOUSE TAKES HAND. Bankers of Chicago Will Untangle the Affairs of Wrecked Institution. The Clearing House Association of Chicago has decided to take a hand in the tangled affairs of the wrecked Milwaukee Avenue State Bank. Clearing House Bank Examiner McDougall has been ordered to make a thorough examination of the conditions existing in the looted institution and report Keep Sheep in Condition. "When your sheep are in good condition make effort to keep them so. j. It is an awful hard job to get rundown sheep in prime condition again. Stick to the Sheep. A writer hits the nail squarely on the head by saying: "To make the most out of sheep they must be kept for a series of years. Some years they will return a much better proht than in others, but it is hard to sell out' and buy in at the right time." Those "Kicky" Cows. It is rather poor policy to have a kicking cow in the dairy, and unless she proves to be something exA - A Af A 4 4TV* lllr xraoruinary iu iuc v?j.j ui a machine," the cow stable would be much better off without .her, and the milker's temper would certainly be greatly relieved. The dairy needs cows, not mules. Apply a Good Fertilizer. The value of vegetables depends largely upon quick growth, and if crops are not growing well some quick-acting fertilizer like nitrate of soda, guano or poultry droppings, should be worked into t-he soil close to the roots. Frequent cultivation of the soil with the cultivator, rake or hoe will often be all that is necessary. Ground the Whole Corn. At the Wisconsin station experiments were held to determine the comparative value of whole and ground corn for fattening pigs. On an average 105 pigs required 5.16 pounds of feed per pound of gain on a ration of dry shelled corn and middlings, as compared with 4.8 pounds required by an equal number on a ration of corn meal and middlings. In other words, there was "a saving of thirty-six pounds of feed for each 100 pounds of gain made by the hogs. This shows a gain by grinding the corn to meal of 9.9 per cent., or, say, seven per cent, in round numbers. While the direct advantage from grinding corn to meal was about seven per cent., in these experiments there was a second advantage secured in that the hogs getting corn meal made more rapid gains than those f"* shelled corn." Vines in the Barnyard. The barn should never be bulk aear the house, and wherever it is, it should be kept as sanitary as the #house itself. A country barnyard should be as neat and tidy as the dooryard. There is no reason why vines should not grow over the wails * * j ?. ? j ~ x.i ana iencss, ana trees snaae lls inclosed animals.,It is possible to have lilacs and mock oranges growing around the barn as freely as about the shrubbery. The animals are not any less happy, and one can pick great bunches for oneself and friends. The Difference in Hogs. At one of the western institutes a speaker, in dwelling upon the subject of how little difference there was in the breeds of hogs nowadays, said: "So many people want to know what is the best breed of hogs. There is no quarrel now upon this subject because when the hog is dead and the head and ears are taken off, you can hardly tell one breed from another. There is really little difference between better known pure bred hogs, but there is a great difference between the pure bred hogs and the razorback. Do not make friends with the razorback." Use of Coal Ashes. While coal ashes contain no fe tilizing value they are certainly useful on the farm and ihould be saved. They are ,not entirely valueless in the soil, for they will materially assist in making a stiff clay soil more workable If well mixed with it. The best use for coal ashes, however, is in the filling in of wet spots, sifting them and using the fine ashes in the dust boxes in the poultry houses and the coarser portions for the making of walks alone or mixed with gravel. They may be used to advantage as a mulch around trees mainly for the purpose of keeping the soil moist and keeping the gras- from growing around them. Cr^ture of Vines. The first point to notice in vine culture is the difference between permanent and temporary vines. The woody ones like ampelopsis, Virginia creeper and wistaria, which oueht to last a lifetime, are natu rally slow to start. They are, in fact, comparable to trees in this respect as well as in cost and the thoroughness with which the soil should be prepared for them. Since their roots are to go twenty or thirty feet deep or more, the poor soil to a depth of four feet should be thrown away and replaced by good soil, and the ground should be liberally provided with weil-rotted manure or with commercial fertilizers. If properly planted the permanent vines will require no attention for the first two years except a little pruning. After that time the strong growers must be kept within proper bounds. It is usually easy to keep vines in good condition by cutting them back a few feet every year. K-s#rly all of the permanent vines ? 1 will stand any amount of pruning except wistaria which does best if allowed to grow year after year without pruning. The commonest mistake in pruning vines is to allow them to grow for five or six years without any pruning whatsoever. This is why you see on porches everywhere vines that are top-heavy, i. e., which have a mass of foliage at the top and scarcely any at the base. This is, of course, absurd, for the purpose of growing vines is to screen unj sightly buildings and it also has the : disadvantage on a porch of furnishI ins a hiding place for mosquitoes and of littering the porch with leaves which fall before their time. If vines are headed' back from one to four feet every year from the second to the eighth year, it should be entirely unnecessary to sweep the porch every morning so far as fallen leaves are concerned. The reason why these leaves fall in July and j August is that a top-heavy vine is so crowded that the sunshine can not enter the mass of foliage and ripen the leaves. > The vines bear more leaves than they can ripen and it is those imperfectly ripened leaves that fall prematurely. The next most important points in vine culture are to determine whether the vine needs artificial support or not, and, if so, of what kind; whether you want a foliage effect or a flowering effect, how high you want' the vines to grow, and whether there is any danger of damaging your property in any way. For example, ampelosis requires no support on any surface whatever. It will grow a hundred feet high, but its flowers are inconspicuous, and since one usually wants color on the porch it is not so good for a veranda as a nowermg vine wmca does not grow so tall. Moreover, any vine that grows twenty feet high or more may cause some trouble if it is grown directly on a frame house. You may want to remove the vines in order to paint th& house. You can do this easily with any vine that requires artificial support, but it is impossible or difficult with anything that is selfsupporting like ampelopsis.?Indianapolis News. Dirty Dairy Conditions in Winter. . In addressing the members of the Vermont Dairymen's Association*. J. j T. Conmern in speaking upon the j filthy conditions under which cows . are kept during winter upon some ] farms, said that very few of the barns are provided with any mean3 for ventilation, and consequently the air is impure, especially during* the cold winter months. The cows' quarters are not kept clean, or, at least, not as clean as they should be. : it. ~ i ? +V /% uunaj uu vviUwCi muui.ua, wucu mo cows of necessity must be kept in the barn, many farmers pay little attention to keeping them clean, which results in a condition of affairs better imagined than expressed in , words.

The barn yards are often quaking quagmires that cannot be crossed unless one wears high rubber boots or is on a raft. Look Out For Weak Fowls. At this season of the year it pays to look the flock over carefully and to weed out any hens or chicks that are not promising. One will find many that are not sick, but are of a nature that grows slowly and are not at all likely to amount to much at the next laying season. See to it that such birds are not sick, but if they are in good health get them by themselves and prepare them -* - - _ X !? | for market m tne manner xnai win land them there at the smallest expense, yet in the best possible condition. They may need a little 'grain, but it will pay to feed it and in enough variety to give them a good appetite for the corn which is to fatten them off. Too many of these birds, which will not amount to anything are raised yearly, and the worst of the plan is that their eggs are used, to a greater or less extent, for breeding, and a race of undesirable birds perpetuated.?Indianapolis News. Good Tonics For Swine. In one of its bulletins the Arkani sas station says that it is necessary ; to keep accessible to hogs some material that supplies lime and salt to aid in bone-building, as an appetizer, and to remove intestinal parasites. This mixture should be kept in a strong box protected from rain, and the quantity and frequency with which pigs will visit and eat of the mixture will often be surprising. The following is the mixture that was used: Charcoal, one and one-half bushels; common salt, four pounds; hard wood ashes, ten pounds; slacked lime, four pounds; fresh water, shade in summer, grain food when on grass, and dry bed fr&e from dust; shelter in winter, and when confined an area sufficiently large so that it will not become foul with droppings and mud bugs. These ' are essentials for successful hog ! raising. t ______ i j Asa Dekluge, wfio has been chosen ; chief of the Apache Indians to suc1 ceed Geronimc, is a graduate of the j Indian school at Carlisle, and has ; great influence with his tribe. UNREST OF MAN OUR UNDOING. President Batler Decries the Decadence of Nation's Moral Standard. Serious consideration of the present-day spirit of unrest in politics and business marked the address of President Nicholas Murray Butler at the one hundred and fifty-second annual commencement of Columbia University. President Butler's address was brief. He began by saying that Abraham Lincoln furnishes a good example for persons to-day, owing to the fact that Lincoln "remained tranquil amid angry seas." He then said that there is much dissatisfaction with uiuuem suciai ana political iormuias. Continuing, he said: / "That this unrest has been and is being used by ambitious men for their own selfish ends and for gain by journalistic builders of emotional bonfires is certainly true, but it will not do to dismiss this spirit of unrest with a sneer on that account. "It has passed far beyond the bounds of the dreamers and visionaries, the violent-minded and the naturally destructive. Men accustomed to honest reflection and themselves possessed of sincerity, always the sheet-anchor of conservatism, have come under its influence. Policies that not long ago were dismissed as tc-o extreme for serious discussion are now soberly examined with reference to their immediate practicability. What has brought about this change? "An answer is not far to seek. An increasing number of men have come to distrust the capacity of society as now organized to protect itself against the freebooters who exist in it. "An increasing number or men believe and assert that law and justice are powerless before greed and cunning, and they are the more ready to listen to advocacy of any measure or policy, however novel or revolutionary, that promises relief. Their imaginations, too, cannot help being affected by the appalling sight, so often called to our attention' of late, of that moral morgue wherein are exposed the shrivelled souls and ruined reputations of those who have lost in the never-ending struggle between selfishness and service that goes on in the human breast." President Butler said that "greed for gain holds an appalling number of men in its grasp," and that great wealth and opportunities have caused .a loosening of the old ideals of conduct and business. In conclusion he J said: "It is our own individual characters that are at fault, and not the inI stitutions whose upbuilding is the j work of the ages. Sound and upright individual human characters will uplift society far more * speedily and surely than any constitutional or legislative nostrum, or the following of any economic or philosophical will-o'the-wisp. Unethical acts precede ille- ! gal ones, and speedily lead to tnem. j Given an acute perception of the difference between right and wrong, a clear conception of duty, and an appreciation of the solemn obligations of a trust, our social and political system would, perhaps, be found to work equitably an/I well. Without these traits no system is workable. Moral regeneration, not political and economic reconstruction, is what w? chiefly need." / WORDS OF WISDOM.

It is not generally known?not even among painter??why certain tints and colors wear much better than others on houses, and the knowledge of just what tints are beat to use is, therefore, rather hazy. One writer on paint, in a recent book, says that experiments seem to Wf show that those colors which resist or turn back the heat rays of the sun will protect a house better than those which allow these rays to pass through the film. . & Thus red is a good color because it turns back, or reflects, the red * % rays, and the red rays are the hot* I rays. '''' W'SB In general, therefore, the warm tones are good and the cold tones are I poor, so far as wear is concerned. I In choosing the color of paint for I your house, select reds, browns, ^ I grays and olives which, considering J the various tones . these tints will I produce, will give a wide range from I which to choose. Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold yellows (like lemon), cold greens ' (like grass green, etc.), and 'the blues. It must bte understood that no virtue is claimed for tints in themselves, /' irrespective of the materials used in the paint. Any color will fade, and the paint will scale off, if adulterated. white lead or canned paint is' used. * but if one is careful to use the best > white lead?some well-known brand of a reliable manufacturer?and genuine linseed oil, the warm tints mentioned above will outwear the same . Materials tinted with the cold colors. / WHEN THE INDIAN UN&NDi' |j I. U.4 CA.II/ QAIMMIU 'J| | L/WV5 nwi Wwotifx vyi and Silently About.
