Willie Spain, a North Carolina negro, 21 years old, was shot to death by a mob near St. (Jcoiyc, Dorchester county, Thursday afternoon. This is the third lynching in South l arolina within ten days. S. L. Connor, manager of the Dor chester Lumber Company's stores at Radhani, was notified by a negro that he saw iinother negro attempting to enter a window of his home and thou run away into a near-by cane field. lie suddenly came ujkmi Spain. He grappled with t lie negro, striking him a severe blow, breaking several hones in his hand. The negro finally fiecd himself mid ran to a neur-bv woods. Connor notified his neigh bors and a search was begun. About two hours later Spain was captured in a negro cabin not far distant. He was brought to St. (Jcorgc and turned over to Sheriff Limchouse, who look ed him up in jail. Shortly after wards a (tosses of 40 or 50 men went to the sheriff and demanded the keys of the jail. Securing the keys, ? he jaii was unlocked and the negro taken to the house of Connor, where his 11-year-old daughter, who was alone in the house, positively identi fied the negro as the one who tried t<> climb through the window, but was frightened away by her screams. 1 he negro did not protest his in nocence, but admitted that he had irone to the residence with the in tention of filtering, But for what purpose he did not say. The mob then took the negro to a near-by oak tree, strung him up to a imb and shot about f>00 shots into ns body. The negro's head and body were literally shot to pieces. After the. sheriff had surrendered to the tnob he telegrphed Governor Heyawrd of what had happened. The Governor at once wired the officer >t? use all means to prevent a lynching, hut it was too late, as the mob iost fro time in dispatching the negro.

When your sheep are in good con dition make effort to keep them so. It is an awful hard job to get run down sheep in prime condition again. Stick to the Sheep. A writer hits the nail squarely on the head by saying: "To make the most out of sheep they must be kept for a series of years. Some years they will return a much better profit than in others, but it Is hard to sell out and buy in at ths right time." Those "Kicky*' Cows. It is rather poor policy to have a kicking cow in the dairy, and un less she proves to be something ex traordinary in the way of a "milk machine." the cow stable woulu be much better off without her, and the milker's temper would certainly be greatly relieved. The dairy needB cows, not mules. * >r. Apply a Good Fertilizer. The value of vegetables depends largely upon quick growth, and If crops are not growing well some quick-acting fertilizer like nitrate of soda, guano or poultry droppings, should be worked into the soil close to the roots. Frequent cultivation of the soil with the cultivator, rake or hoe will often be all that is neces sary. (?rou nit the Whole Corn. At the Wisconsin Rtation experi ments were held to determine the comparative value of whole and ground corn for fattening pigs. On an average 105 pigs required G.16 pounds of feed per pound of gain on a ration of dry shelled corn and middlings, as compared with 4.8 pounds required by an equal number 011 a ration of corn meal and mid dlings. in other words, there was "a saving of thirty-six pounds of feed for each 100 pounds of gain made by the hogs. This shows a gain by grinding the corn to menl of tt.'.i per cent., or. pay, seven per cent, in round number?. While the direct advantage from grinding corn to meal was about seven per cent., in these experiments there was a second advantage secured in that the hogs getting corn meal made more rapid gains than those fed shelled corn." Vines in the llarnysml. The barn should never be built , near the house, and wlierewr it Is. J It should be kept as sanitary as the house itself. A country barnyard 1 should be as neat and tidy as the dooryard. There is 110 1 casou why 1 vin<>s should not. grow over the walls j and fences. and trocr shade the in* 1 closed animals. It Is possible to have j lilacs an. I mock oianges growing 1 arour.d the barn as freely as about j the shrubbery.

There is really ( little difference between better j known pure bred hogs, but there is j a great difference between the pure j bred hogs and the razorback. Do not make friends with the razor back." I've af Coal Ashes. While coal ashes contain no fer ?.tiizing value they are certainly use- | ful on the farm and should be saved, i They are not entirely valueless in the soil, for they will materially -in sist in making a stiff clay soil imxe workable if well mixed with It. The beet use for coal ashes, however, is in the fliUr.g in of wet spots, sifting them and using the fine- ashes in the dust. boxes in the poultry houses and the coarser portions for the making of walks alone or mixed with gravel. They may be used to advantage as a mulch around trees mainly for the purpose of keeping the soil moist and keeping the gras f.oin growing around them. (?nod Tonics For Swine. j In one of lis bulletins the Arkan- I sas station siiy? that it is necessary j to keep accessible to hogs some 1 material that supplies lime and sail to aid in hone-building, as an uppe- I tizer, and to remove intestinal para sites.

At this season of the year It pays to look the flock over carefully and to weed out any hens or chicks that are not promising. One will And many that are not sick, but are of a nature that grows slowly and aro not at all likely to amount to much at the next laying season. See to it that such birds are not sick, but if they are in good health get them by themselves and pr<?r*r? them for market in the manner that will land them there at the smallest ex pense. yet in the best ; ossible con dition. They may need a little grain, but it will pay to feed it and in enough variety to give them a good appe tite for the corn which is to fatten them off. Too many of these birds which will not amount to anything are raised yearly, and the worst of the plan is that their eggs are used, tp a greater or less extent, for breed ing, and a race of undesirable birds perpetuated. ?

The first point to notice in vino culture is the difference between permanent and te?nporary vines. The woody ones like ampelopsls, Virginia creeper aiul wistaria, which ought to last a lifetime, are natu rally slow to start. They are, in fact, comparable to trees iw this respect as well aJ in cost, and the thoroughness with which the soil should be prepared for them. Since their roots are to go twenty or thir ty i'eet deep or more, the poor soil \h a depth of four feet should bo thrown away and replaced by good s oM. and the ground should be liber ai!y provided with well-rotted ma nure or with commercial fertilizers. If properly planted the permanent vines will require no attention for the first two jears except u little pruning. After that time the stroug growers' must be kept within proper bounds. It is usually easy to keep vines in good condition l>y cutting i hem back a few feet every year. Nearly all of the permanent vines will stand any amount of pruning except wistaria which does best if allowed to- grow year after year without pruning. Tho commonest, mistake in prun- | ing vines is to allow them to grow j for flvo or six years without any pruning whatsoever. This is why you see on porches everywhere vines that are top-heavy. I. c.. which have a mass of foliage at the top and scarcely any at the base. This Is, of course, absurd, for the purpose of growing vines is to screen un sightly buildings and It also has tho disadvantage on a porch of furnish ing a biding place for mosquitoes and of Uttering the porch with loaves which fall before their time. It vines are headed back from one to four feet every year from the second to the eighth year. It should be entirely unnecessary to sweep tho porch every morning so far as fallen leaves are concerned. The reason why thcMo leaves fall In July and August io that a top-heavy vine is so crowded that the sunshine can not enter '.lie mass of foliage and ripen the leaves.' The vines boar more teavos tli an they can ripen and It U those Imperfectly ripened leaves thai fall prematurely. The nett most Important points ::i vine culture are .to determine win ther the vine needs artificial sup port or not. and, if so, of what kind; lnvh'M- you want a foliage effect or a flov.ctlng cfTecf, how high von n ant the vines to grow, and whether there is any danger of damaging !j our property in any way. For example, atnpelosis requires no support on any stuface whatever. It will grow a hundred feet high, I but its Mowers nre inconspicuous, | and since one usually -cants color on the porch it Is not so good for 1 ,i veranda as a flowering vine which | does not. grow so lull. f Moreover, un> vine that grows j twenty feet high or more may ca;t?e some trouble if i' grown directly on a frame house. You may want to remove the vines tti order to paint (ho house. \ on own do this easily with any vine that requires artifi cial support, hut It Is Impossible or .llflicult with anything that Is self ;ot|. porting like ainpelopsls. ?
