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.
"I hope it will be a long time before
I have such another test applied to
my honesty," a downtown merchant
remarked as he turned from waiting
on a customer, relates the St.
Paul Dispatch.
"What was the trouble?" asked his
partner.
"These near-wool suits. An old
fellow came in just now and asked
uic uic yi iv,c ui uuc<
Bfc'" 44 'Seven dollars,' I told him.
B|V,- 44 4Speak louder!' he said, holding
(fpfr- his hand behind his ear. So I yelled,
'Seven dollars!'
,g|> 44 'Eleven dollars! Too much! I'll
KjrV give you nine!' he replied."
ret His partner looked at the speaker
In alarm.
KfeC "You?er?of course, you did the
right thing?"
WM . "I guess you can depend on me to
do the right thing," was the haughty
fe retort. Then he paused. 44You'd betK
ter get some dollar bills when you
|gp';' go to the bank," he remarked. 44 just
fef gave an old fellow our last one for
8|y change."
; A Bank Without Any Men.
" A bank run by women has been
. ? opened in London.' It is a branch of
V Farrow's bank. Men are excluded
<: Gpj from being depositors, and the only
man around the place is a messenger.
Miss May Bateman, the manager, has
done newspaper work as a war cor- ,
respondent in South Africa, and has
.-' written several novels. She says that
. the bank has opened with nearly five
hundred clients, and that there is a
prospect that women of all classes
' who have money to handle will pat
Bjjp"'-ronize it. She believes it to be an
f |||unusual opportunity for women to
| t learn business methods. It is doubtr-fnl
if such an institution would be
fillfl ' popular in the United States. The
best banks here have made it easy
" Hp;'tor women to do business. They
S'BP have their own waiting-rooms and
& attendants, and their patronage is
gpL desired. But that such an institution
will be welcome by English women it
| is easy to believe. It is characterisKfet
tic of them to have put an interesting,
as well as a capable woman at the
head of their venture.?The Delinejgllfc

"White Slave" Trial.
Greensboro, N. C., Dec. 8.?In the
United States court this afternoon
jpj' District Attorney Hoi ton called the
gpj-.' case against Charles Quaster and Jos.
Napier, proprietors of traveling
fgmi shows, who are under indictment
charged with engaging in the "white
Ep?:.- slave" traffic by seducing young girls

I lucrative ana genteei employment
and afterward luring them into reprehensible
occupations. In default of
-bonds the prisoners have been in jail
two months.
The government has a score of witnesses
here for the trial, 12 of whom
are young women who are alleged to
have been enticed away from their
homes.
The defendants are charged in
some counts with a conspiracy, to
bring certain young girls from the
city of Danville, Va., into North Carolina
with the purpose and intent to
induce them into prostitution. Other
counts charge that two girls were enticed
from Baltimore into this State,
where, besides inducing them to exnnsA
their nersons in immoral shows,
W0 they were debauched and ruined.

WHEN THE LEAVES TURN RED.
The autumn sun had set\in crimson
clouds,
The mountain peaas wun goia were
crowned,
'Till creeping shadows veiled the hills
between,
And dreary darkness coldly frowned,
The screech owl's quivering call
trembled on the air,
.In notes so weird, so cold and keen,
'Til from the east the soft moonbeams
rose,
Mantling the world with their silvery
sheen,
The brow of night the "harvest moon
was crowning,"
A touch came with a chilling breeze,
Kindling into flame bright signals
of 1 warning,
In the shoumac, and the maple trees,
Beware! Beware! "The chief of the
cold is coming!"
He is leading an army of invading
snow,
Crystal quivers are full of arrows of
ice,
*They cut and flash like steel as they
go,
The birds take note of these burning
leaves of red,
They know their meaning and cease
to sing,
And soon they are off to the land of

Awav from the frost of* "The Cold

PORT ROYAL KEEPS STATION.
Senator Tillman Again Does Some
Effective Work.
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

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.

apparently the whole passageway of
the second floor was in a furious

The fire was a furious one and the
marvel is that the building was not

as the third floor stairway was a raging

Pin Removed from Lung.
Baltimore, Md., Dec.,8.?John W.

for the removal of a scarf pin from
his left lung in the University hospital
here to-day. The operation
was one of a most delicate nature and
had the i in not been removed it undoubtedly
would have caused death.
The pin was taken from Mr. Simpson's
body by means of bronchoscope
and the interior of the - bronchial
tubes and upper portions of the lungs
were illuminated by a miniature
electric light The operation was
performed by Dr. R. H. Johnston, of
the hospital staff. No incision was
necessary. Mr.? Simpson swallowed
the scarf pin last Sunday while playing
with his young son. Dr. F. M.
