DEPUTIES KILL FIVE NEGROES. Resisted Arrest and the Shooting Began?Two Wounded. Elliott, Miss., July 21.?Five negroes were killed and two others were wounded to-day, when the , seven, taking issue with Deputy Sheriff Sid Cauley, who was endeavoring , to take them into custody on a minor charge, advanced on the officer with farming implements as weapons and with the avowed intention of "cutting him down.'" Carrying a warrant charging the , seven with assault, Cauley and two citizens, deputized to assist him, ( went to the home of Henry Beck, a ( colored farmer, near Elliott, this af 4-U^ ternoon. as tne posse appi uaeueu mc ^ negroes ceased their work in the ^ field and, grabbing pitchforks and , other farming tools, made for the deputy. Cauley, however, opened fire with two revolvers before the belligerents came within striking dis- ] tance and, before the others of the ' posse had regained their wits, five ' of the attacking party were dead and J the remainder wounded. The depu ty surrendered, but was released to ; appear for formal hearing to-mor- ' row. ( Several days ago an attempt was 1 made to effect the capture of the ne- 1 groes, but the arresting officer with- drew when they employed similar tactics to those of to-day. * < pf , Clemson Extension Work?Rape. 1 Rape was first introduced into this ^ country from England, where it has ( ;i been grown for hundred of years. 1 On rich land it is one of the best * soiling crops for hogs and sheep. It belongs to the cabbage family and the leaves resemble those of the mus- ] tard family. There are several varie- 1 ties, but the best variety is the 1 Dwarf Essex rape, which is a bien- { nial. There are a number of varie- x ties, but these are of little value. If * Dwarf Essex rape is planted any time during the summer or fall, it will afford pasturage all during the 1 winter and will mature its seed the y following June. When grown on 1 rich land two or three cuttings can s be obtained. However, the best way t to handle rape is to plant it for pas- 1 turing purposes. Hogs eat' it gree- ] dily and they can be turned on it at I will and there will be no danger of i their eating too much. However, if < t*c;v sheep or calves are pastured, care should be taken to feed them some hay first as there will be some dan- ( ger of bloat. ] The South Carolina experiment { station has obtained as much as 25 ( tons of forage from this plant. Rape , requires a rich soil and while it will ? grown on almost any type of soil, it is y highly necessary that the soil is made ] rich by heavy applications of well T decomposed stable manure and large ( applications of commercial fertili- ( S; V zers. Any land that is well suited to j cabbage will grow rape rapidly. The ^ 3 ? ?1J k ~ ?+ VVi a rofD nf seed snouiu ue su?u ai v<. ^ 3 to 4 pounds per acre and care s should be taken that the seed are not 3 sown too deep. From one to two , ?? ' inches is the proper depth. In South j Carolina the best time to sow rape } seed is in October, however, they can } be sown any time during the spring. | In two months after sowing the seed, 1 the rape will be ready for pasturing, r Rape is a splendid crop to sow af- ^ ter a winter legume as bur clover, ] crimson clover or vetch. The seed t should be sown at intervals of two to c '-"r - S three weeks, thus giving a continu- ( ous pasturage all during the sum- ? mer and fall months. If planted ; for seed, it should be planted in , September in rows 24 inches apart, ] and the rape should be cultivated during the late summer to keep down ( crab grass and other grass and weeds, ( and it should not be pastured. An . enormous?amount of seed can be ob- ( tained on one acre of improved soil. , The greatest enemy we have in ( South Carolina is the plant louse. , At this writing the South Carolina experiment station has a beautiful patch of rape gone to seed, but the plants are filled with thousands of nlant lice that will cut down the yield considerably. Rape has never been fed with success to dairy cattle as it taints the flavor of the milk and butter. It is, however, one of our best hog crops as it is very rich in protein, in fact, aimost as rich as clover hay. It, however, cannot be depended upon to furnish the entire feed of the hog because it makes a soft, oily fat. Hogs grazing on rape should, therefore, be fed some grain which makes a firm meat. Every farmer has about his feed lot a small patch that is rich enough to plant rape on and every farmer should have a small patch of rape for his young pigs and hogs. PROF. J. H. HARPER, Director S.

LU5 1V1 5VUU i VUU0. Organization Formed. s The Record's Good Roads Cam- f paign party know these things be- ' :ause they spoke Tuesday in the town ^ Df Bamberg and held a good roads meeting here in conjunction with the Bamberg Herald and the Business Men's League. The meeting was held c in the town hall. It was presided ft 3\*er by Mr. J. F. Carter, who is S president of the business organiza- t' :ion, and was productive of results. H A.fter speeches had been made by tl Messrs. D. H. Winslow, J. F. Car- S :er, S. G. Mayfield, John F. Folk and a 3. W. Moorman, a county good roads tl organization was perfected which is T :o become a branch of the Good d Roads and Drainage League of South b Carolina, which was launched at the t<* -ally in Charleston last Tuesday. Mr. 0 3. G. Mayfield was elected president, 0 \V. D. Rhoad vice president, Editor n W. Knight secretary, and J. A. c; Hunter treasurer. An advisory com- a mi^tee of five members was also ap- tl pointed. The members are J. F. barter, S. G. Mayfield, J. W. Hill, W. Knight, John F. Folk and H. b 3. Folk. h An Innovation. ^ Another meeting of the association b will be held within a few weeks, at t< which it is planned to have represen- a :atives from every part of the county >0 that the membership will be made w ;o include every community m jBam-j c lerg county. It is probable, too, that s< provisions will be made for the ci eague to have speakers at each meet- b ngs in the county campaign to advo- Si %ate good roads. p Window at His Best. w Mr. Winslow was at his best and ^ evidently put his hearers to thinking. P Se spoke for the first time during the ^ ;ood roads campaign on the subject 0 >f drainage and opened his address h vith the statement that the "first essential of any road is drainage and P vithout drainage you can neither S iave a road nor maintain one." He a vas careful to explain, however, that Irainage was of two kinds?surface irainage and subsoil drainage, the :'ormer being the water that falls on die road and the latter the ground ^ vater which may be present in the h soil. To shed the water as it falls the h -oad must be as compact as possible b md be well crowned and have wide. a laring ditches instead of the deep, larrow ones. The deep ditches are P lot only a menace to travel, but ac- t: :ually deprive the county and the & :raveler of a good part of the road, b rhis, he said, calls for the wider road >' that will not only be safe for a wo- n nan Hrivinf a hnrsp tn mpet an au iomobile, but will also tend to preserve the road. Water is a natural & snemy of the road and should be kept P is far from it as practicable. If it 11 is allowed to stand near the road if a will seep through and saturate the v road, keeping it wet and boggy. When the water has. flowed from the a crown of the road into the flaring * Pitches it will be necessary to lead n it away from the road by means of a culverts. On this point Mr. Winslow stressed the fact that thousands of dollars are being wasted in this f State through failure to put in per- to manent culverts. Miserable plank f affairs that have to be replaced every f five years, on the average, and are a f constant item of expense for mainte- a nance, will found on most of the c roads. It is not economy to build * . - i- t culverts, ne saia, tnat nave to ue tv- newed every five years. The solution * is easy; for vitrified clay pipe that s will last for generations can be put c in where sufficient material can be c placed above them to prevent traffic ? from breaking them when passing. * Where the filling above is insuffici- ^ ent, the metal culvert may be sub- s stituted for the clay, although the * clay is cheaper and is recommended c if practicable. If laid true to line and grade they will handle an enor- * mous amount of water. There are 1 two factors in determining the * amount of water tnat can De nanai- ? ed, viz., the size of the pipe and the * pitch or incline to which it is laid. * To illustrate, a 12-inch pipe laid on 1 a one per cent, grade should handle * 1.46S gallons of water per minute; ? laid on a two per cent, grade, the same size pipe would carry off 2,042 gallons per minute; while laid on a \ three per cent, grade, the same pipe s would carry 2,563 gallons per min- t ite. This shows the importance of ecuring a sufficient fall on any Irainage scheme. It illustrates also hat a small pipe, having a good fall, rill often carry more water than a arger pipe having less fall. Always lay a small pipe, said Mr. Winsow, in preference to larger pipe, proided the smaller one is adequate to arrv the water. A smaller pipe with . good velocity will clear itself more asily than a large pipe with a small orce of water. From the point of n<->nr?mv a email ninp shrvnlri hp iispd \s\S 4A4 J w v..? w w. w w 7 s a pipe readily increases in cost rith any increase in size. If the reight is excessive on pipe, cement ipe may be made on the' road with he local force of hands. This, he aid, is being done in many counties s it is only necessary to secure the ement. Sand can be obtained along he roadside. Pipe moulds can be ought or can be made by the local upervisor. This process saves reight and the cost of hauling, by laking the pipe at the place where ; is to be used. Laying Pipe. A simple method by which pipe an be laid to line and grade is as allows: After the trench has been raded, sink a piece of scantling, wo by four inches, on its edge with s top edge flush with the bottom of he trench. The most ignorant nero cannot help but lay the pipe bsolutely true as long as he keeps he pipe on the edge of the scantling, his scantling may be left there to ecay and the pipe will be sustained y dirt, provided it has been properly imped around it. Cement the joinis f the pipe well, and this will not niy prevent the water from underlinding the pipe, as would be the ase if laid without cement, but will lso assist each pipe in sustaining he weight along its entire length. Aiasonry neaumgs. All pipe ends should be protected y masonry headings similar to those 1 Richland and Charleston counties, he foundation to these heads should e it least 18 inches below the pipe 3 prevent the water or even small nimals from undermining the pipe. On some of the larger waterways the culverts should be of conrete. This involves the services of omeone who is competent to design oncrete structures, as this work is eyond the scope of the ordinary apervisor. A concrete bridge is referable to either an iron or a ooden affair. Iron requires careful atching and painting and wood is erishable at the best. Mr. Winslow lustrated this point by narrating an ccurrence in Union county where, e said, he had asked the question, How many times are you willing to ay for renewing plank bridges? Be enerous; it is your own money you re spending." Permanency. The next phase of road work juched upon by Mr. Winslow was be permanency of the road itself, le said that long after your court ouse, long after your monuments ave crumbled to dust, your road will e here so far as location, drainage nd foundation are concerned, mute sstimony to your skill or your stuidity. The surface will wear, as ime passes, and require renewing Dm time to time, but your road will e just where you locate it 200 ears or 2,000 years from now. How lany supervisors look beyond the srm of their own office in considerig the location of a road? A baseall umpire is supposed to give imartial decisions, "especially in Coambia," but a road supervisor should lways give a partial decision in faor of the travelling public. Road supervisors dislike to decide gainst their constituents even when heir best judgment tells them it is ecessary that the road, be widened t the inconvenience of a land owner. Term of Office. Mr. Winslow suggested that the erm of office for supervisors should >e four years instead of the short erm now in force. A good part of heir time, he said, is wasted in elecioneering under the present system nd in order to hold the vote of the itizens in the various communities t becomes necessary tnat ne waste he time of the road force jumping rom section to section. Many of the upervisors hardly have time to beome familiar with the location and ondition of the roads before they ;ive way to a successor who often mows less about them than his prelecessor. When the time can be pent in actually building the roads nstead of soliciting votes more work >f a permanent nature can be done. Mr. Winslow then went fully into he elementary details of sand-clay nethod of road construction, which las been fully treated in his former iddresses. There seems to be no end o Mr. Winslow's resourcefulness on he subject of road building and he >itches headlong into any subject >earing on roads that may be suggested by the local co-operators. j Organization. The necessity of organized effort) ras a feature of the address. Hei trove to impress upon the audience hat it is necessary to organize to seI cure the State aid so necessary to tb full development to a State-wide sy: tem of good roads. He rapped th congress for limiting the appropri? tions for roads in the interests c economy and then further econc mize by raising their salaries. At the conclusion of Mr. Winslow address, Mr. Carter called upon M: S. G. Mayfield for a few remarks. H told of his experience in trying to s< cure good roads legislation seven years ago. He agreed with Mr. Wins low in all that he had said except th argument that the commutation ta was unfair to the resident land owr ers. He wanted to see the direc valuation tax and the commutatio tax, too, as the latter would reac the negro and others who pay n other tax, but thought the alternj tive of working the roads should b removed. He thought that throug roads should receive State aid, bu that county roads should be improt ed out of the county funds. Parliamentary Expert. The nomination of Asher C. Hind in the First Maine district if ratifie by the people in November will giv to the Sixty-second congress a mere ber occupying a position quite witt out precedent. He has already st riously been considered for the speakership while not a member of th house. He has long made a specialty c parliamentary laws and has compile a work of encyclopedic proportions representing the study of years, o the precedents of the national hous of representatives. Not 10 men in the next house wi: be better known to its general men; bership than Mr. Hinds. He will b one of the recognized "leaders" o his first day there because he ha been in intimate consultation wit its speakers and committees on rule for more than 20 years and mor than once his advice has guided th action of his party. In the assigr meut of committee places, while h cannot now have any of the chaii ?- wVi i n y?/\ rAfrnlorlv fillo IlldlldJiljJd >Y 11 i Is 11 ai u rniv on the seniority basis, he will be r< garded as decidedly "privileged among the new members. Thoug the speakership represents capacit for political leadership rather tha acquaintance with parliamentary lav it would not be surprising if M: Hinds should reach that office b( fore many years and thereby mak the State of Maine's second contr bution to it within a comparative! short period. The house seems to b getting ready to repose most of th party strategy with its elective con mittee on rules?assuming the ne1 system to stand?and to seek in tb speakership to emphasize the qual ties of a presiding officer.
