p? v- ' . 1 . f,/ J WHITE WOMAN CHAINED. \ By Her Hnsband in His Home in Boston, Mass. ,N A young white woman, aged 23 years, nearly nude and fastened to a wall with a chain about her neck, her hands tied behind her back and her face and body a mass of raw bruises, was found in a room at 58 Miuu*esex street, 111 tioston, .uass., Wednesday night by the police when v they forced their way into the home of J. H. Taylor, a negro, against whom they had a warrant in connection with the sale of cocaiive. Taylor is said to have threatened the police with a revolver when the door was opened, but he was overpowered quickly . Entering the room, the police found the young white wof man lying on a couch with a chain about her neck, fastened to the wall. When asked why she was so congj , fined, Taylor, according to the police, H declared it was because she would run away if he did not chain her. He was ordered to release her, and iwhen he did so, she rushed to an ice chest and ravenously devoured a loaf of bread. According to the police, the girl said she was married to Taylor last September. She declared she had been chained down for eight days and in that time had eaten but once. That was three days ago when she was given some bread and tea. Did the Right Thing.

Washington, Dec. 8.?Senator Tillman to-day took a hand in stopping abandonment of the Port Royal naval station, at the request of Mayor Danner, Niels Christensen, and other citizens of Beaufort, who came to Washington to see him about the matter, and as a result of the senator's efforts it may be stated on the best of authority that the station will remain in its present status. The officers, who were ordered away a short Hma atrn will hft ordered back and everything will go on just as the station has recently been conducted. The fact that Senator Tillman has been able to secure^the return of the officers means that the Marine School will continue at Port Royal and a great deal for all the country contigious to Beaufort. Senator Tillman has been a member of the Senate Naval afTairs committee for a number of years and .more than once his efforts have saved the day. It is understood that formal orders sending the officers back to Port Royal will be issued immediately. Feeding Beef Cattle. One of the most important industries at present being developed in the State is the extensive feeding of 1 e laroro nntfnn nlftn'tfl ueei uiiuc uu i.lit io?6v , tions. The object in feeding these cattle is to secure fertilizer for the farm at/a minimum cost and to permanently increase the fertility of the soil and improve its physical conditions which cannot be done with commercial fertilizers. At the same time these cattle furnish a profitable market for cheap rough forajge which would otherwise have little value. By exchanging cotton seed for meal and Belling only the lint and oil which contain no fertility, the framer is enabled to return to the soil all the fertility taken from it and thus maintain its fertility and productiveness. On visiting the farmers who are feeding cattle this winter we find with many of them this is an entirely new industry and that some serious mistakes have been made. The cattle were nearly all boulght in Tennessee and North Carolina. The buyers in many cases taking the weights of the dealers without see ing the cattle weighed and in many cases the cattle were weighed full of water and feed, and as a consequence suffered an excessively heavy shrinkage in weight in transit. The prevention of this unncessary loss would in many instances mean a fair profit in feeding. In buying cattle that have not been driven a long distance it is customary to weigh them after having been kept in a dry lot without feed or water for 12 hours, or deduct three per cent, from the weights. Many farmers contracted for cattle of definite weights without sufficient regard for quality or condition and obtained animals of poor breeding and undesirable conformation and too thin to finish in the time they desire to feed them. While it is desirable to buy heavy cattle* when feeding cotton seed meal, quality and condition are of more importance, as they are the cnief Victors in determining the price of fat cattle. Cattle for feeding should be of the broad, smooth back, blocky type and carry sufficient flesh to finish well on cotton seed meal in about 100 days, making a gain of about twe pounds per day. The writer also noticed that many farmers had purchased discolored and damaged cotton seed meal, made largely from heated seed. This meal - ? 11.. fnoilinor TiiirnneoB is IUuiiiy uuiiu ivi iwuiju^ |/u* ^/v?vu and is likely to cause serious injury to the cattle and loss to t?e owner. It is most unfortunate that some i manufacturers are selling damaged meal for feeding purposes, as it is not only a violation of the State Pure Food Law, but is one of the surest ways of destroying an industry that they should be as much interested as the farmers in developing. In m^ny cases the farmers are housing the cattle in stables that are too small and poorly ventilated. The ideal way of handling cattle in the sandy land sections of the State is to feed outside in the fields where the fertilizer is required, fencing five to ten acres at a time and moving the feed troughs freequently. Any buildings provided for beef cattle in this State should be merelv to keep them dry and not to keep them warm. Eeach steer will require about 35 square feet of space in the ? ' * A H X staDie ana two ieei, oi tiuugu iuuiu. It is important that the stable be kept well bedded with straw, corn stover or other roughage at all times to make the cattle comfortable, and absorb the urine which contains practically all of the nitrogen excreted, and is the most valuable part of the fertilizer. Cattle that are kept in filthy stables or yards where they cannot rest comfortably will not increase in flesh and do well no matter how well they are fed. Some farmers have made the mistake of feeding too much cotton seed meal at the beginning and getting their cattle off feed. It is never ad wy , g - . .?r . . APPLICATION FOR BAIL. Bond of J. H. Ferguson, of Abbeville, Fixed at $3,000. J. M. Nickles, of Abbeville, appeared before Associate Justice Eugene B. Gary in the supreme court room in a habeas corpus proceeding for bail for J. H. Ferguson, who shot and kined his father in Abbeville county one day last week. . The testimony at the inquest showed that the father, J. P. Ferguson, had gone to the home of his son, J. H. Ferguson, to arrange a settlement in regard to some land the son had sold the father. In endeavoring to arrange a settlement the fathet be came enraged and attacked his son with a knife, cutting his clothing in several places. The son retreated and in backing from his father passed the mantel piece and picking up his pistol, presented it to his father, he claims, to intimidate him. The father closed in on his son, cutting at him with his knife and in a scuffle the pistol went off, killing the older Mr. Ferguson* almost instantly. *An open knife was found by the side of the deceased. The testimony showed that the son did all he could to avoid a difficulty and that the father was the aggressor. v The wife and children of the dead man joined in a petition to the court, asking that the petitioner be admitted to bail. After hearing argument of counsel, the court decided that the petitioner was entitled to bail and fixed "bond at $3,000 which amount was not objected to by the attorney general who represented the State. Must "Pull" Mileage. 1 ' Charlotte, N. C., Dec. 7.?The supreme court dealt a knockout blow to the regulation of North Carolina railroads which requires holders of mileage books to exchange mileage at ' ? *? J-.. ?;+ stations ior iiukcls m-uay wucu n handed down an opinion sustaining the lower court in the case of Harvey vs. the Atlantic Coast Line. Harvey, a traveling salesman, was unable to exchange his mileage at Wilson, N. C., because of a waiting crowd of purchasers ahead of him, and when he boarded the train the conductor refused to pull his mileage, putting him off at the next station. He sued for |2,500 and a superior court jury gave him the full amount. In the opinion Chief Justice Clark declares that mileage book regulation is a breach of faith with the State, in that it violated the agreement made between the railroads and the legislature and was therefore null and void. They Conceal Facts. Aiken, Dec. 6.?At a meeting, held in this city Monday between the county legislative delegation and the magistrates of the county, Miss Susan Ravenel, district nurse, read a paper, in which disclosures of a startling nature were made in regard to the county poor house. A resolution was unanimously adopted, instructing the secretary to not disclose any of the conditions which were alleged to exist at the poor farm, the reason being stated that the information would be h disgrace to the county. Those at the meeting are adhering religiously to the resolution and are keeping mum. What will be done about the matter is not known. A number of legislative suggestions were made regarding the magistrate's nf thp pnnntv whirh will nrnh ably result in some legislation. visable to start ,feeding mor? than one half pound of cotton seed meal per hundred pounds live weight, and gradually increase one pound of meal every three or four weeks when cattle are to be finished in 100 days. It is advisable to keep plenty of salt and water before the cattle at all' times and to feed only high grade fresh bright meal. The farmers who are feeding corn silage and stover instead of hulls are getting very satisfactory results and many have arranged to build silos next year. At present prices it costs practically as much money for hulls as for meal and while cotton seed meal is as valuable for a fertilizer as .for feed, it is also as valuable for a fertilizer after being' fed as before. So that the farmer whose buys meal for a fertilizer is getting his feed for nothing, while hulls are of very little value for either feed or fertilizer. Farmers are beginning to realize more fully the advantages of growing the roughage at home and buying only the concentrated meal, which in many cases will mean the difference between profit and loss in feeding beei cattle. We are endeavoring to obtain a correct list of every farmer in the State who is feeding beef cattle in order to assist them in marketing these cattle jLo the best advantage. Clemson College has* employed men who are especially trained in every line of animal husbandry work whose services are available to the farmers of the State at all times free of charge, merely for the asking.

Fire broke out in a closet under the stairway leading to the third floor and in an incredibly short time apparently the whole passageway of the second floor was in a furious blaze, destroying the stairway leading to the third floor and doing considerable damage. The fire was a furious one and the marvel is that the building was not destroyed. All the guests on the third floor were cut off from escape, as the third floor stairway was a raging furnace. All escaped, however, by the fire escapes. The Roddey-Poe Mercantile company occupies the ground floor and their stock was damaged by water, the fire not reaching the lower floor. Too much praise cannot be given the fire department, which saved the building from destruction. The building/-i8 owned by Mrs. W. L.
