AN ANDERSON MYSTERY.
Very Unusual Occurrence Take Place
at an Old Mill.
Do you believe In ghosts? If you
do not how can you explain the happenings
that are taking place in an
old mill in tlie city in Anderson. Ac- '
oording to the Dally Mail, of thatl
city, it is haunted by spirits of soir.e j
kind. When the mill shut down a
short time ago two negros by the name
of Collins and Davis were employed to
nlnnii n.x tl.n mi.
tuu luaiiiiut'i v. i I'v'y win;
at work on the second lloo: Thursday
about 2 o'clock when, tiny say, their
attention was attracted by steel bolts,
nuts, hits of scrap iron, etc., falling
about tlie room. They say tliey paid
no ptrtieular attention to it at first,
but as the pieces of iron continued to
fall about the room they decided some
one was playing a joke on them and
they commenced a search for the
Joker. They hunted all over the building,
even opening the sky light and
going on the roof, but could find 110
one. The missiles continued to fall
a I tout flic room, and then they ltegan
to get frightened.
They reported the matter to Mr. .1.
II. Townsend, the president of the
mill, and to Ills son. Mr. O. II. Townsend.
These gentlemen made an invest
igation. and while they were investigating
several iron ltolts and
pieces of scrap iron fell about the
room, apparently falling from the
roof, Tiie Messrs. Townsend were
amused at first and then puzzled.
Finally they decided that the Collins
negro had been trying to frighten the
Davis negro, and charged him with it.
Collins strenuously denied his guilt,
and was oorrobratcd by Davis, who
said he. too. had suspected Collins and
had been watching him, hut had not
seen him throw any of tlie missels.
All this happened Thursday afternoon.
Friday morning the strange
proceeding commenced again. Iron
holts, pieces of scrap iron, etc., would
fall to the floor in different parts of
the room, and there was no accounting
for them. None of the missels
weighed more than a quarter of a
pound, and all of them had come from
a pile of serap iron in one corner of
the mill building, but there was no
explanation of why they should be
dropping from the roof of the mill.
The only possible explanation was that
somebody was throwing thorn, but the
utmost vigilance on the part of the
Messrs. Townsend failed to detect
any one in the act or discover any one
who could be responsible for it.
Finally Mr. <>. II. Townsend had an
idea, lie thought that possibly the
electric wires running into the building
had something to do with it. and
Mr. Harry Orr. the electrician of the
Water. Light and Dower company,
was sent for. Mr. Keith Chapman
and several others went witli him. j
Mr. Orr couldn't make anything out |
<n mi- m i.11114c procedure. lie sain
tlmt in all his acquaintance and experience
with electricity he had never
witnessed any such strange phenomena.
While he and several others were
looking around the building a small
piece of iron fell from the ceiling and
struck Mr. Keith l'revost on the head.
Mr. Provost was not hurt.
A few minutes later a porcelain
door knob fell in one corner of tlie
room. Then Mr. Townsend knew
there was nothing in the theory of
electricity as porcelain is a non-connuetor.
it is sam nun. unmix i*iimsday
afternoon and Friday morning
more titan 100 bolts, nuts, pieces of
scrap iron, etc.. were thrown about
tiie interior of tlie mill. No one except
Mr. l'revost was hit, and in fact
the person or spook throwing the missiles
did not seem to be trying to bit
any one. Friday at noon .lames Collins
was discharged and told to leave
the premises. Mr. Townsend couldn't
get rid of the idea that t his negro was
responsible for the mischief that had
I tee n going on.
A1 tout. 2 o'clock Friday afternoon
a reporter lor The Daily Mail went
down to the mill and looked around a
hit. Mosc Collins was the only person
in the building. He was emphatic
in his assertion that the missilethrowing
had been the work of what
hecal'ed "lia'nts." He gave a graphic
story of all that had been going on,
which was substantially the same a* 1
that given above. The newspaper!
man went up on the second floor of
the building, where most of the i
strange occurrences had taken place.
M isc accompanied liini. While the
reporter was looking around, trying
to li -iiiv out a solution of the mystery,
a piece of iron fell with a clank on the
! opposite side of the room.
"Did you hear that?" inquired!
Mose excitedly. '''Cose you did. i
j An" you didn't see me throw it either,
did you?"
The reporter confessed that he
didn't see Mose throw anything, and
Mose seemed relieved.
"It's Im'1'ii iruini' i?>? tl.i^ .......
since Thursday," said Muse, "an' it
ain't no folks what's been doin' all
dis. It's habits."
The reporter waited possibly half I
an hour longer hut nothing else fell, J
and then lie came away.
Two Tales of Children.
A young mother in putting her .11
ycai old son to bed noticed that lie
clambered under the cover without J
saying his prayers, says tnc New York j
Tribune. "Why, Warren, mother j
never knew you to forget your prayers
before." "Indeed, mother," was the j
reply, "1 didn't forget. Grace and I :
said them for four nights during the! 1
rain yesterday, when we couldn't play. :
We would have gotten through the
whole week if nurse had not come to
dress ns." Representative Lamb, of ;
Virginia, tells a good story about a 1
little girl who !i\es in Petersburg,'!
and is just tj-yeais old. She kneels
every night at her mother's knee, and 1
after recit ing the Lord's Prayer, silently
adds a little prayer of her own. One *
night her mother, rather curious ask-1

A lively pension debate in the s'

lief of a claimant whose application n
has been adversely reported upon in tl

those from the redhot iron upon the ^

as a g<K>d tistlc contest In the roped n
arena. P
"The momory of some of the repre- *
senlatlves as to the distribution of the
annual appropriation for pensions for s<
which they vote Is often out of plumb
with the record and facts," said a pen- a
si on otlleial to a Star reporter. "In si
short, this point is one with which not r;
many arc familiar, as, for Instance, ?
few outside of those in tlie pension o
otllce who have this particular work to h
do know the amount of money dis- b
bursed in pensions as close at home as b
the District of Columbia, and the num- ?
her of pensioners residing therein. h
"The amount of pension money dis- tl
trihutcd in the District last year was
$1,392,000, among 8,771 former sol- ?
diers, while in the state of Maryland i'
it was $1,708,300, distributed among a
13,067 pensioners. w
"The two states leading in the num- t
lier of pensioners residing therein, and P
the total amount they receive, are a
Pennsylvaniai wit 1? 104,345 formcrlu
soldiers, receiving $13,378,371, and j b
()hlo with 104,30], or only 41 less than r
the keystone state, and receiving $13.211,127,
or nearly $2,000,000 more in j v
the aggregate amount paid, with less 1 h

with 66,974 pensioners, receiving $10,- tl
291,870, or over half a million more

pensioners; and the fact the pension- j
ers of Indiana, while less in number
than those of the state in which a
Chicago is situated, draw halt' a mil- '
lion dollars more, ought to make the ,
inhabitants of the windy city feel sad. ,
"In states which were termed the
border states during the civil war a r

is the case in the states constituting L
the Confederacy, as will he shown. In
fact, the amount of pension money (|
which goes into the border slates and
into the sou til in a year is surprisingly ?
large. An analysis of the facts alfords s
several interesting instances, and offers
important information which (j
ought to lie more widely disseminated.

The Christian view of death as the
nlntnee to a fuller life is presented in
his Kaster discourse I>r. Talmage
rom tlic text I C??r. xv, ."?4, "Death Jk i
wallowed up in victory." 1
Aliout 1.870 Haster mornlnirs have (
.ukcnod the earth. In France for
hree centuries the almanacs made the
ear iiogiii at Faster until Charles IX. ,
lade the year begin at Jan. I. In the
'owerof London there is a royal pay j
oil of Edward 1, on which there is an
ntry of lc pence for 40O colored ami |
ictured eggs. with which the people |
ported. In Uussia slaves were fed ,
nd alms were distributed on Faster.
Ecclesiastical councils met in Pont us, ]
i Uaul, in Home, in Aehaia, to decide .
he particular day and after a contro- '
ersy more animated than gracious de- ,
ided it, and now through all Christenoin
in some way the first Sunday af- |
srthe full moon which happens upon
r next after March 21 Is tilled with .
'.aster rejoicing. '
The royal court of the Sabbaths is ,
lade up of tifty-two. Fifty-one arc j
rinces in the royal household, but
luster is queen. She wears richer (
iadem. she sways a more jeweled ^
jepter, and in her smile nations are .
radiated. How welcome she is when, j
fter a harsh winter and late spring, ,
lie seems to step out of the snowliank
ither than the conservatory, to come j
ut of the north instead of the south, |
ut of the arctic rather than the trop- ,
;s dismounting from the icy equinox,
ut welcome this queenly day, holding '
igh in her right hand the wrenched
IT I ml t of Christ's sepulcher and holdlg
high in iter left hand the key to all '
he cemeteries in Christendom.
My text is an ejaculation. It is spun
ut of halleluiahs. Paul wrote right on
i his argument .about the resurrection j
nd observed all the laws of logic, hut
rhen ho came to wrlto the words of
lie text his lingers and his pen and the '
arehment on which lie w rote took fire
nd he cried out , "Death is swallowed
p in victory!"' It is an exciting thing
o see an army routed and flying. They ;
tin each other down. They scatter ev- j
rything valuable in the track, i'udiceled
artillery: hoof of horse on
reast of wounded and dying man!
'on have read of the French falling
ack from Sedan, of Napoleon's track
f PO,0U0 corpses In the snowbanks of
tussia, of the retreat of our armies
rom Manassas or of the live kings
umhlitig over the rucks of Ileth lioran
rith their armies while t he hailstorms

iost struck thetn with their fury.
In my text is u worse discomfiture,
t seems that a black giant proposed
o conquer the earth. He gathered '
or lils host all the aches and pains
nd malarias and cancers and distem- 1
crs and epidemics of the ages, lie
aarched them down, drilling them in
he northwest wind and amid the
lush of tempests. He threw up baricadcs
of grave mound. He pitched
cut of charnal house. Some of the
roops marched with.slow tread coinsanded
by consumptions, some in
ouble quick commanded by pncuuioias.
Some he took by long besiege- 1
lent of evil habit and some by one
troke of the batlleax of casualty.
Villi hony hand he pounded at the '
oor of hospitals and sickrooms and
.on all the victories in all the great
attleticlds of all the Hvo continents,
oirward, march! ordered the con- 1
uarors, and all the generals and com- 1
landers in chief and all presid. nts I
nd kings and sultans and czars droped
under the feet of his war charger. 1
tut one Christmas night his antagon- '
>t was born.
As most of t lie plagues and sickness- 1
sand despotisms come out of the east
: was appropriate that the new con- 1
ueror should come out of the same
uarter. Power is given him to awak- 1
ii all the fallen of all the centuries '
nd of all lands and marshal them 1
gainst the black giant. Fields have I
Iready been won, hut the last day of j
he world's existence will see the do- M
isive battle. When Christ shall lead 1
irtli his t wo brigades, the brigade of i1
tie risen dead and the brigade of the \1
clestial host, the black giant will fall!
aek, and the brigade from the riven
^pu Ichors will take him from beneath, l

Company will itear the expense.
As some of trhe products made up in

uggest that any planter write to Mr.

To (lie Editor of The News and
kiurier: Farmers from various secions
of the State have lieen writing,
skingaltout the advisability of feedug
horses and mules on cotton seed
leal and hulls, and also asking for a
heaper rat on than corn.
The following prices are given in a
etter from So ran ton, S. C.: Corn, $40
er ton; oats, $45 per ton: wheat bran,
25 per ton; cotton seed meal. $25 par
on: rice meal, $20 per ton. Of .-ourse,
orn and oats are out of the question
sa food for horses and mules at the
liovc prices so something cheaper
nisi be looked for.
The analysis shows that rice meal
ias about t lie same composition as
orn meal, and we have found thai it
> just as good for feeding pigs. We
ave fed it to horses \% it h good results,
think we are safe in saying that it
lay be used in place of corn, pound
or pound.
11 no hay or fodder is used in the raion
and hulls are resorted to as roughess,
some nitrogenous food, such as
ran or cotton seed meal, must l>e used
o supply protein. Hulls may lie fed
dlhout any fear of injury to the anilal.
Should they refuse to eat the
tills a little corn meal or bran
prinklcd over the surface will help to
reak them to it.
