In a business way. Mr. Stevenson lias
been successful, lie organized and
has successfully operated as president
the Merchants' and Fanners' I tank of

Chesterfield Count v oil company. His
main ambition, however, is to he a

was taken from I lie jail at Home.
C?a., about s o'clock Wednesday night
by a mob. dragged several blocks
through llie streets and hanged to the
cross-bar of an electric light pole, In
front of the Central hotel, in the very
heart of the eilv. Nearly all Home
witnessed the lynching, and as the negro
was strung up to the pole a t'usilade
of Imllcts was tired into his writhing
body, lie was literally torn into
shreds by the storm of bullets. < >nc
of the most exciting affairs of the
whole crime was the tiring at the negro
by ("apt. A. is. S. Mosely. while
the negro was being held in the police
station, awaiting further Indent! tication.
As soon as lie was partially
identified. Captain Moseley. an uncle
of Miss A damson, drew his revolver
and tired three shots at the negro, only
one of the shots doing any damage,
however. The negro broke away from
t he men who were holding him. sprang
through a window, and made for the
river, where he eoneealed himself in
t he water until he was dragged out
and attain taken to the prison. The
crime for which the negro was lynched
was attempted in the heart of Home
at o'clock last Monday evening week.
The IMuiit System Sold.
The announcement is made by direct
and absolute authority that the
Atlantic Coast Line system of railways
of South Carolina has absorbed
the Plant System and that at an early
date both the systems will consolidated
under the name and charter of
the Atlantic Coast Line system. The
general management ot the Coast
Line will operate the entire system,
all the lines of both systems being
j merged into one great system of rail|
roads, aggregating .'l.OOO miles. For
I Mm i.-.iO month there has been considerable
talk about the consolidation
of these t wo systems. It was reported
| at one time the Pennsylvania system
was at the hack of the deal and that
il would absorb 1 toil) (he Coast Line
and the Plant System. Again it was
reported that the Southern railway
was about to obtain possession of the
two systems and there were some who
gave credence to this report, largely
on account of the intimate traffic
connections established about a year
ago between the Southern and Plant
System.

I AN
ANDERSON MYSTERY.
Very Cnuiuttl Occurrence Tnki* I'Uci* <
ut an Old Mill.
I)o you believe in ghosts? If you
do not how can you explain the hap[tellings
that are taking place in an
old mill in the city in Anderson. According
to the Daily Mail, < ; that
city, it is haunted by spirits of soir.e i
kind. When the mill shut down a
short time ago two negroshy the name
of Collins and Davis were employed to
clean up the machinery. They were
at work on the second floor Thursday
about 2 o'clock when, they say, their
attention was attracted by steel liolts,
nuts, bits of scrap iron, etc., falling ,
illm>uti the room. They say tliey paid 1
no ptrtieular attention to it at tlrst. '
but as tiie pieces of iron continued to I
fall about the room they decided some ,
one was playing a joke on tlicm and
they commenced a searcli for the (
Joker. They hunted all over the build- '
ing, even opening tbe sky light and 1
going on the roof, but could find no i
one. The missiles continued to fall |
about the room, and then they began |
to get frightened. <
They reported the matter to Mr..1.
II. Townsend, the president of the *
mill, iind to Ills son, Mr. G. II. Town- ;
send. These gentlemen made an in- <
vest igat ion. and while they were in- <
vest igat ing several iron liolts and j
pieces of scrap iron fell about the ?
room, apparently falling from the i
roof. The Messrs. Townsend were |
amused at tlrst and then puzzled. ,
Finally they decided that the Collins <
negro had been trying to frighten the l
Davis negro, and charged him with it. i
Collins strenuously denied his guilt, |
and was eorrobrated by Davis, who
said he. too. had suspected Collins and i
had been watching him, but had not i
seen him t hrow any of the missels. ,
All this happened Thursday after- |
noon. Friday morning the strange
proceeding commenced again. Iron
holts, pieces of scrap iron, etc., would
fall to the tloor in different parts of i
the room, and there was no accounting
for them. None of the missels <
weighed more than a quarter of a i
pound, and all of them had come from
a pile of scrap 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 them, 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. (I. I#. Townsend had an
idea. He 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 with him.
Mr. Orr couldn't make anything out
of the strange procedure, lie said
that in all his acquaintance and experience
with electricity he had never
witnessed any such strange phenomena.
While lie and several others were
looking around the building a small
piece of iron fell from the ceiling and
struck Mr. Keith Prcvost on the head.
Mr. Pre vast was not hurt.
A few minutes later a porcelain
door knob fell in one corner of the
room. Then Mr. Townsend knew
there was nothing in the theory of
electricity as porcelain is a non-conauctor.
It is sate. Unit durltip Tliuro"
day afternoon and Friday morning
more than 100 bolts, nuts, pieces of
scrap iron, etc., were thrown about
the interior of the mill. No one except
Mr. Provost, was hit, and in fact
the person or spook throwing the missiles
did not seem to lte trying to hit
any one. Friday at noon James Collins
was discharged and told to leave
the premises. Mr. Townsend couldn't
get rid of the idea that this negro was
responsible for the mischief that had
been point; on.
A ixiut 2 o'clock Friday afternoon
a reporter for The Daily Mail went
down to the mill and looked around a
hit. Mose Collins was the only person
in the building. He was cniphat-1
ic in his assertion that the missilethrowing
had been the work of what
hecal'ed "ha'nts." lie pave a praphlc
story of all that had I teen going on.
which was substantially the same as
that pi veil above. The newspaper
man went up on the second Moor of
the building, where most of the
stranpc occurrences had taken place.
M ise accompanied him. While the <
reporter was lookinp around, trying |;
to ti Mire out a solution of the mystery. I
a piece of iron fell wit ha clank on the
opposite side of t lie room. j i
"Did you hear that?" inquired i
Mose excitedly. "'"Cose you did.
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. I
"It's beengwinc on this way ever I
since Thursday," said Mose. "an' it
ain't no folks what's Itcen doln' all <
dis. It's'ha'nts.'"
The reporter waited possibly half i i
an hour longer hut nothing else fell, j
and then he came away. I;

A lively pension debate in the
House over some special bill for the reief
of a claimant whose application
las been adversely reported upon in
regular course will cause the sparks of
iratory t-o fly across the chamber like
duxse from the redhot iron upon the
blacksmith's anvil, and will mix things
ip among the members from the different
sections of the country as quieky
as a good fistic contest In the roped
irena.
"The memory of somo of the reprelentatives
as to the distribution of the
innual appropriation for pensions for
which they vote Is often out of plumb
with the record and facts," said a pendon
official to a Star reporter. "In
diort, this point is one with which not
many are familiar, as, for Instance,
few outside of those in the nension
itfice who have this particular work to
3o know the amount of money disbursed
in pensions as close at home as
the District of Columbia, and the number
of pensioners residing therein.
"The amount of pension mon<.y distributed
in the District last year was
11,332,000, among H.771 former soldiers,
while in the state of Maryland
it was $1,70H,3oo, distributed among
13,007 pensioners.
"The t wo states leading in the number
of pensioners residing therein, and
the total amount tlicy receive, sire
Pennsylvania, with 104,34a former
soldiers, receiving $13,37m.371, and
Ohio with 104.301, or only 41 less than
the keystone state, and receiving $I.V
211,127, or nearly $2,000,out) more in
the aggregate amount paid, with less
than fifty difference in thenumlier of
beneficiaries.
OTHER INTEHEST1NW INSTANCES.
"New York follows Ohio, Willi 88,791
pensioners, drawing $11,931,370,
while Illinois is fourth, with 70,491.
receiving $9,757,000. Indiana is lifth.
with 00,974 pensioners, receiving $ln..
291,870, or over half :i million more
than Illinois, and with 8,507 fowci
pensioners; and the fact tlie pensioners
of Indiana, while less in number
than those of the state in which
Chicago is situated, draw half a million
dollars more, ought to make t lit
inhabitants of the windy city feel sad.
"Instates which were termed tin
border states during the civil war a
large number of pensioners reside, a;
is tlie case in the states constituting
the Confederacy, as will be shown. In
fact, the amount of pension money
which goes into the border states anil
into the south in a year is surprisingly
large. An analysis of the facts afford;
several interesting instances, and offers
important information which
ought to Ire more widely disseminated.
Classing Maryland as fi hnrdei
state, with 13.0(17 pensioners, receiving
$1,708,000. Wert Virginia follownext
in geographical sequifice, with
12,811 pensioners, receiving $1,777.300.
Then comes Tennessee, with
is.274 old soldiers, receiving $2,550.000,
and Kentucky, with 28.740. receivir.g,
$4,045,700. Missouri ha.53,738
pensioners receiving $7,100,000.
Arkansas lias 10,947, receiving $1,389.900.
"Now for the totals. These figure;
show that there is an army corps ol
federal veterans drawing pensions and
living in these liorder states, numbering
137,557, and that they receive an
aggregate of $17,028,300 a year.
"Passing next to the states which
constituted the Confederacy. I lie fact;
are equally interesting.
A LAKGK St'M GOES INTO TIIK SOUTH.
"Thus, I will begin with Virginia,
with 6,455 pensioners, receiving $1,326.000.
In North Carolina there arc
4.001 pensioners, receiving $523,200.
and in South <':irolins t hm-?? oi si*.

that in the states of the former Confederacy

2d,020 former federal soldiers who

The Christian view of death as the c
entrance to a fuller life Is presented In
this Easter disoourse Dr. Talmage ^
from the text I Cor. xv, ."}4, "Death Is u
swallowed up in victory." t
Aljotit 1,870 Easter mornings havo
wakened the earth. In France for j'
three centuries the almanacs made the
yeai begin at Easter until Charles IX.
made the year begin at Jan. 1. In the J.
Tower of London there is a royal pay c
roll of Edward 1. on which there is an t,
entry of 18 pence for 400 colored and j
pictured eggs, witli which t lie people r
I ow.rt.wl i.. -? ? ' *
wva* *?? AiUiVllil OltlVCS were ll'U
and alms were distributed on Faster. ,
Ecclesiastical councils met in Pont us, ^
in Caul, in Koine, in Arliaia, to decide
the particular day and after a controrersy
more animated than gracious de- :
ei?led it, and mow through all Christendnin
in some way tlie tirst Sunday af- tterthe
full moon which happens upon
or next after March 21 is tilled with
Raster rejoicing. _
The royal court of the Sabbaths is
made up of tifty-two. Fifty-one arc j,
princes in the royal household, but
Faster is queen. She wears richer *r
diadem, she sways a more jeweled j
scepter, and in her smile nations are
Irradiated. I low welcome she is when, j
after a harsh winter and late spring, s
she seems to step out of the snowbank j
rather than the conservatory, to come
out of the north Instead of the south. (
out of the arctic rather than the trop- ^
ics dismounting from the Icy equinox,
hut welcome this queenly day, holding
high in her right hand the wrenched '
off bolt of Christ's scpuleher and holding
high in iter left hand the key to all '|
the cemeteries in Christendom. ,
My text is an ejaculation. It is spun (
out of halleluiahs. Paul wrote right on j
in his argument about the resurrection '
and observed all the laws of logic, hut .
when lie came to write the words of ^
the text his lingers and his pen and the
parchment on which ho wrote took lire (
! and he cried out, "Death Is swallowed
111 p in victory!'' It is an exciting thing ?
j to sccun army routed and Hying. Tlicy
| run eacli othcrdown. They scatter cv- j
I erything valuable in the track, i n1
wheeled artillery: hoof of horse on ^
,' breast of wounded and dying man! j
Vow have read of tlie French falling
hack from Sedan, of Napoleon's track \
of 00,000 corpses in the snowbanks of 1!
1 Russia, of ilii' retreat of our armies
from Manassas or of the live kings (
tumbling over tbe rocks of lleth boran
with their armies while the hailstorms
of heaven and the swords of Joshua's '
host struck them with their fury.
In my text is a worse discomfiture.
It seems that a black giant proposed
to conquer the earth, lie irathered
for Ills host ;ill the aches and pains
1 and malarias and cancers and distent- '
pcrs and epidemics of the ages. lie
inarched them down, drilling them in 1
the northwest wind and amid the 1
slusli of tempests. lie threw up liar- 1
' rieades of grave mound. lie pitched J
) tent of eliarnal iiouse. Some of the
troops marched with slow tread com- 1
1 manded liy consumptions, some in '
double quick commanded liy pneuino- 1
nias. Some lie took by long besiege- ;
inei't of evil liabil and some by one 1
stroke of the battleax of casualty. '
With bony hand lie pounded at I lie !
1 door of hospitals and sickrooms and 1
won all the victories in all the great '
battlefields of all tIre live continents. 1
Forward, march! ordered tlie con- ?
' (piuroi's. and all the generals and coin- 1
1 manders in chief and all presidents t
and kings and sultans and czars dropL
ped under the feet of Ids war charger. 1
But one Christinas night ills antagon- '
' ist, was lKirn.
As most of t lie plagues and sickness- I
es and despotisms come out of t he east
it was appropriate that tlie new con- (
tjueror should come out of the same
I quarter. Power is given him to awak- '
en all the fallen of all the centuries *
and of all lands and marshal them '
against the block giant. Fields have I
already been won, but the last day of
(the world's existence will see. the dc-M
! cisivc battle. When Christ shall lead 1
' forth his two brigades, the brigade of 1
the risen dead and the brigade of the 1
celestial host, the black giant will fall
hack, and the brigade from the riven v
, sepulchors will take him from beneath, 1
: I and the brigade of descending immor- 1
tals will take him from above, and N
j death shall be swallowed up in vie- i |

\rchibald Alexander, a man far from

left the Ixidy. People came ?
n day after day and said. "He is dead. 1
ie is dead." Hut the soul that, lied

write what lie had seen while his soul
was gone.
I called at my friend's house one

ng. There was not a room in the
louse tit to live in at that time, alhougli
a month before when I visited
hat house everything was so beaut iii
1 I could not have suggested an i
mproveinent. My friend had gone I
vitli his family to the Holy l.and. oxleeting
to come I Kick at the end of
ix months, when the building was to |
w done. And, oh, what was liis Joy v.
vhen at the en 1 of six months he re
limed and found the old house had
iecn enlarged and improved and
doritied. That is your Imdv. It
ooks well now all the rooms tilled (j'

nake a suggest ion. I>ul after awhile 1,1
our soul will go to the Holy Land.

very nerve, muscal and hone and tisuc
and artery must be hauled over, | k1
nd tlie old structure will be burnish-; "
d and adorned and raised and cupolad
and enlarged, and all the improve-1
uents of heaven introduced, and you j w
rill move into It on resurection day. i
'For wc kni that if our earthly ^'
louse of this tabernacle were dissolv- ^;l
d we have a building of (lod. a house
lot made hads. eternal in the hcav- P'

I" each other. Did your bwly ever ,K

t. or your soul not pity it. or your P?;

id your soul ever have any trouble

To the Editor of The News and
kiurier: Farmers from various secions
of t he State have been writing,
skingaliout the advisability of feeatig
horses and mules on cotton seed
ileal and hulls, and also asking for a
heaper raton than coin.
The following prices are given in a
ettcr from Scranton, S. C.: Corn, $40
**r ton; oats, $4.? per ton; wheat bran,
?"> per ton; cottonseed meal, per
on; rice meal, fcjo per ton. Of jourse,
orn and oats are out of the question ]
s a food for horses and mules at the -
bow prices -so something cheaper
inst lie looked for.
Till* SitlJllslinu'G 1 h?it riiNS ??? >'
ias aitoul the same composition as
oni meal, and we have found that it
* ju>t as good for feeding pigs- We
tave fed it to horses w ith good results,
think we are safe in saying that it
nay Ik? used in place of corn, pound
pr pound.
If no hay or fodder is used in the raion
and hulls are resorted to as roughless.
some nitrogenous food, such as
[ran or cotton seed meal, must l>e used
o supply protein. Hulls may be fed
rithout any fear of injury to the aninal.
Should they retuse to eat the j
mils a little corn meal or bran '
prinklcd over the surface will help to
ireak t hem to it.
A goo<l ration may lne made upas fol)\vs:
Cents.
ix pounds of rice meal, costing ti.6
our pounds of wheat bran, costing 5.0
"wo pounds of cotton seed meal,
costing 2.5
"en pounds of cotton seed hulls,
costing 3.0 ,
Total cost of ration per day 17.1
The al>ove i> for a horse or mule of
.ono pounds live weight.
It is evident that a ration made up 1
f corn and fodder and containing the J
tune amount of digestible matter as 1
he atiove ration would cost much more I
han t be above. 1
The North Carolina Experiment Sta- J
ion lias fed cotton seed meal and hulls
ohorses with good results, but the i
x perl ments along this line have not J
teen extensive enough to say that cot- I
