Walter Allen, a ticero. 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. Starving in Texas.

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; Two Talrs of Children.

Pennsylvania I,cutis, Ohio a Close Second nuil New York a Oootl Third. 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.

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.

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.
