Paris, Ky., Nov. 2.?While crossing the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, at Hustinsv crossing, in Bourbon county, this afternoon, Miss Lena Hughes, her sister, Mrs. Barton Harp, and her two children, Ruth and William, aged 3 years and 5 months, respectively, were struck by a fast train and instantly killed. The buggy in which they were riding was directly on the track and it , [ was torn loose from the horse, which was not hurt, and carried down the track. There were no eye-witnesses i to the tragedy, and whether it was caused through negligence or otherwise cannot be learned: The entire family of Mr. Burton Harp, of Lexington, with the exception of himself, was wiped out. Buying Beef Cattle. Of all the factors which determine the profit in feeding beef cattle the buying- of the cattle is one of the most important, and one of the most difficult with which farmers in this State have had to .contend. Clemson College has lately been doing everything possible to induce the railways to grant reasonable freight rates on cattle from St. Louis, and other large stock centers to Washington, Richmond, Baltimore, and New York with a four months feeding limit in South Carolina, and we still hope that this arrangement can be made. The present practice of buying in North Carolina and Tennessee is unsatisfactory and expensive, as the supply of cattle is limited and the quality badly mixed and the expense of buying greater than is necessary. Buying in the large stock centers u j? lk. Anohla would reuuee tue tipcuae ouu cuoui^ the farmers to purchase desirable cattle at any time instead of having to buy early in the season before many of them are ready to start feeding as is now the case. There is an old saying that cattle well bought are half sold and, to assist the farmers who are experienced in this work, Clemson College will furnish a competent man without charge for his service# to assist in selecting cattle where a sufficient number are to be purchased at one time. Shorthorns, Herefords, and Aberdeen Angus are the three popular Jbeef breeds, and there is practically no difference in the value of these breeds for feeding purposes. Endeavor to buy cattle as uniform in color, size, and quality as possible, of the low set, broad backed, smooth type, weighing from 900 to 1,000 pounds and carrying sufficient flesh to enable them to finish well in 100 to 120 days, counting on a gain of 1 U frt 9 rvrmn^c nor rinv 1 72 ? yvuuuw ^/VA In buying cattle from dealer's insist on keeping them in a dry lot without feed or water for 12 hours preceding weighing or of deducting 3 per cent in weight to avoid paying beef prices for feed and water and an excessive shrinkage in shipment. Pon't buy young cattle or thin cattle or scrubs, as they will not fatten readily and will have to be sold at low prices. Count on an increase in the value of cattle of 1 cent to IVz cents per pound and buy only cattle that will fatten quickly and increase in value as they put on flesh. Clemson Callege will gladly furnish all the information necessary regarding the proper methods of feeding cattle, and will furnish a compe tent man to visit eacn iarmer iree of charge to render any assistance necessary. The Experiment Station will also feed two carloads of cattle this winter to study further the most economical methods of producing beef. PROF. A. SMITH, Chief Animal Husbandry Division.

Jahn, of Rolling Stone, told the Winona police that she was robbed to-day of $10,000 in cash which she carried in a suit case, because she had no faith in banks.

When she turned around she saw the man running * -A.i?t ' mi away witn tne satcnei. me empi-j grip was found later by the police. GETS PEABODY FUND. i Winthrop College is Awarded an Addditional $90,000. Rock Hill, Nov. 2.?A telegram received this morning from President Johnson of Winthrop college, who is now at New York city, announces that Winthrop college has been awarded $90,000 by the Peabody board, "absolutely without any conditions whatever." This action was taken at a meeting of the board held yesterday afternoon, when it was expected that a final distribution of this big fund would be made. Winthrop had already been awarded $5,000 by that board toward the building of the model school, and for years has been receiving $3,000 per year from the Peabody fund. This is cause for congratulation to Winthrop, and it is but another testimony to the fine work of President Johnson and fitting reward for the high plane upon which he has placed this institution. ?
