Do31ESTIC T1toUBLES.---A warrant was issned by Trial Justice Robertson on Tuesday last for the arrest of one Isom Coleman, who is charged by Daniel Jrown, his step-father, with having made an assault upon hin with an axe. The prosecutor states that ho would probably have lost his life at the hands of Coleman had it not been for the intervention of two negro women. Coleman is evading arrest, and has not yet been apprehend1ed. All the parties are colored. X vE W-GROUND CORYN. How and Why it is Injurious to Horses and Mules--Answers to the Questions of an Unknown Inquirer from Fair field. The postmaster at Winnsboro has received the folle ving letter: CotU.Nntws, GA., February, 1879. .Postmaster, Wrinnsb>oro, S, C.: DEnARi Srit--A farmer wvritIinmg fromi Winmisboro, S. C., to the New York World, and signing "J. P.," asks for information whiI do(1 not think the World has anisweredi as well as it should be, and I have wvritten a letter for ''J. P.," anid enclose it to you, askingr yon to hand it to any of your f'armers whose initials are ''J. P." Please do me the favor and oblige. Yours truly, T. BUnINJIA. Thei letter referred to in -the above c ommiunication is as follows: 'CowAnMIUS, GA., Fehrumary, 1879. DEML Srn-L notice in the 'reteri nary depariment of the New York World that you asked that lIpper if the feeding of mules and horses oni cor~n that hans been somewhat injured by being overflowed by backwater on a river bottom, wvill injure them. I do nor think Doctor Smith's reply to your inquiry meets your . ease. Of one thing you can rest assured, viz., new ground( corn fed to mules and horses will give themi blind staggers. A friend of mine lost two valuable ani mals by feeding them on new-ground eorn-[ mean corn raised on newly cleared1 land. The first two cropp should1( not be fed to mules or horses. ThlleIpropr.ietor of the line of stages running fromi this city to Macon, Ga., years ago, before railroads, told mec ~4 that he lost many horses by blInd stag gers, until lie found out that corn { raised oni new-ground would causo it; and that after lie refused to p)Ur chase any corn but was raised on old land, lie had nio more cases of blind staggers. Now, yolur river bottom * may have b)een cleared a long time, so that you do not call It new-grand; yet, If that portion of it which Is annually * overflowed, has deposited upon01 it a rich humus, may It not act upon the corn the same as If It was freshly cleared land? Tell every farmer you know about the danger of feeding corn raised on new-ground to mules and horses--hogs and human beings can eat It. I send -this to the postmaster of WVinneboro, thinking lie may know whom to deliver it to, anmd I hope you will lose nio more stock in the way you have, and will endeavor to spread this information as extensively as possible. Very truly yours, T. BURNIKAM. 2'M H Ioa.PIHAT QU7B8T ZON. The Views of Mr. D. R.' Feaster on this Very Interesting Subject. FA8T1ERVILLR, $. C., Feb. 17, 1879. Jlessrs. itor.- 'As you have kindly oflrered the columns of your paper for .thme discussion, pro and con., of the "G'iano W4y I pfojoso this moi'ning 4to give you a Waastr.l.'tn,hou.h. and com'in6nts on that war. I fully and heartily concur with Major Woodward, that some action shoul.d be taken, and I also heartily endorse his idea that every Democratic club hold a meeting and fully discuss, and then take such action as they in their wisdom may dem proper. And, furthermore, Messrs. Editors, I most emphatically disagree with you as to the course to be pursued by us in this warfare. From my stand-point I think it perfectly right and proper for the Democracy to take right hold of the matter, as its legitimate work. When and how was this "Guano War'' origi nated, and by whom inaugurated? I will try to answer. I hold and submit that those ntonopolies that have de clared (as it wore) this war arc crea tures of the Democracy of this State, and I assert this without fear of con tradiction. Our Legislature, in their exalted wisdom, thought proper to take the right to dig the phosphates from the laboring many and give into the hands of a few rich corporations or companies-for fear, as I have heard it asserted, that some poor man who dug a few tons might not pay the royalty to the State, and they would therefore give the sole right into the bands of a few, who, if they did for .et to paty the royalty on a few thous uids of tois, it would not he stealing, l>ut simply an act of forgetfulness oi heir part. It would not do to charge hmli with theft -oh no, they are liigh-toned gentlemen, and that wNould not do. And I right here re-assert hat it is purely and legitimately the luty of the Democracy of this county mid State to look after these monopo ies, for it is their legitimate child and Lot theirs by adoption; and I there Pore repeat that we should take hold )f this child of our creation and give t such admonition, or inflict such puishmnent, as we its creator deem fit mld proper. Brother farmers, let's take this matter in hand-.do not let us stand hack and wait for some one to ome forward anl do this work for us. We have everything to gain, and iothiing to lose in this war. If we will unite by counties and then have State organization, and then through this source say to those greedy and heartless children of our creation, that we will give you one bale of cotton, weighing four hundred and fifty pounds, for a ton of two thonsand pounds (which is another innovation Dr change instituted by these guano men; who ever heard of a ton of two thousand pounds until people began to liso guano?) and this is all we will do; you can take it or let it alone, just as you choose. As to whether I agree with Major WYoodwardor not as to the beneficial or ijurious effects of guano upon01 the soil [ will withhold till another time. Thine to the death against all men >polics of whatever nature. D. R. FEAsTER. Notice for Final Discharge.
