Anderson, S. 0., Sept. 14.-Deputy Sheriff Scott returned to Anderson this afternoon and lodged William Anderson, Ellis Anderson and Aaron Anderson in the county jail. These three negroes participated in the rampage near Pisgah church last night. Sheriff Scott did not bring Reed Anderson to jail because the doctor attending him eald he would not live tbrongh the day. Sinoc reaching the city, Sheriff Scott ha1 been advised by telephone that Reed Anderson died from the effect of th< wounds he received last night. Near Pisgah church, about eigb mniles from Piedmont, 'Reed Andor son, about 65 years old, who is tho father of two and the uncle of th4 other prisoners now in jail, with li, sons and nephew became crazed witl some religious belief. Anderson ani his sons and all the Anderson famil, have been considered among the bes negroes in Anderson county. The: own over 200 acres of fine land an( farm on their own hook, and ar worth considerable money. Sherif Scott says he has known the An dersons for some time and that the, are good negroes and never befor have they gotten into tronble.

About this time som< negroes who worked on Mr. Long's place were at tracted to the scene and they over. powered the crazed negroes and tied them and carried them off from Mr. Long's residence. Trhe crazed negroes finally managed to goet loose and went to their bomoe. When they got there they callectedi about a wagon load of rocks and bar. ricaded themselves within the wa~ls, Their home was a nice neat house wit~h five or six rooms and was well turnished. Now ev'ery bit of the fnrfliture and all the contents of the house are broken into fragments, whdle the house is almost demolished About the time the negroes were barrleading themselves the citizens -of the county were congregating.

About this time the shooting began and for awhile missiles were flying. It is impossible to aecount for their demented condition. It is hard to understand why four prosperous well respected negroes could go crazj at the same ime and attack several white citizens who had befriended them and then play havoc with their own home. Mrs. Long is not seriously hurt. Dr. Tripp is not seriously wounded, al. though a number of shot peppered him. Reed Anderson is dead and maybe one of those in jail will cie.

It is not con. tagiouls or infectious but is caused by fungi or moulds, which grow upori forage or grass. These fund-, which grow luxuriontly in wvet seasons, have a very irritant effect upon the lining mnembrano of the mouth, the mom brane covering the tongue and upor the soft skin betweoen the claws. Aflected animals eat and drinl< with great difficulty or not at all, the saliva forms froth around the lips or dribbles from the mouth, the mnem. brane lining the mouth is rod and hot and contains ulcers, the mom brane covering the tongue is ef'ected in the same way, and a very offensive odor is usually present. Sometimes the skin between the claws and just above the hoof is affected and then the animal walks stiffand sore. The trouble is usually confined to the an terior limbs, but all four legs may be attacked. In milk cows ulcers may also appear on the udder and( teats. Herds of cattle in which animals have been attacked with this disease should be removed from the pasture in which they have been running. The affected animals should be fed on soft food, such as bran mashes, meal and gruels. They should have free access at all times to clean, cool water and two heaping teaspoonfulb of borax should be dissolved in each of the first two buckets of water given each day. The mouth should be washed out daily with a solution of creolin-one tablespoonful of oreo. in to each quart of water-and fol. lowing this a half-tabespoonful of alum or barax should be placed on the tongue. Diseased areas on thef feet should Le washed daily with the creolin solution and afterward cover ed with zinc omntment. If this treat ment is properly applied and the ani male are carefully fed the disoast will rapidly disappear. FOR RENT,-800 acre tarm 2 mile above Pickens, good tenant house and out houses.

OlU3ion reached is that if a Rep. reseitative is honest, able and am. bitious, he should be returned to Congress as long as he manifests growth and the willingness to serve his party, his State and the Nation. But why shculd there be in the mind of anyone a question about it? During hi a first session the "kid" in Congress even 'the "kid" who ioes to Washington With native ability and the ex erience as' a lawmaker that may be had in a State Legislature, is lucky if he learns his way to all the committee rooms in the bowels of the.Capitol, to say nothing of the more impor tant matter of learning his way to the hearts of chairmen of the important committees. le is for. tunate if he has the opportunity to do more than to make a speech or two that will be read in the colums of the "home" paper, and perhaps lietened to indulgently by some of the old guard in the House. Ho iE more fortunate if he is assignel to places upon committees which play a part in legislation instead of the committee upon ventilation and acoustics, or other bodies which may never rnet from December tc July and which perform no impor. taut junction when they do meet. No matter whether he be of the majority or of the minority party, the member of Congress does not become really usefui until after his first term - The exception to the rule only proves it. Statecraft is not learned in a day, and a measure of statecraft is needed by thi Representative upon either side of the House who would do things In the North, more than in the South or West, it is recognized that the lawmaker should be a trained man just as the successful lawyer must be.
