Prof. N. Schmitt, so well known as
a competent music-teacher and piano
tuner, is now in Winnsboro, ready
for aly business that m y be entrust
ed to him. Professor Schmitt is
already so widely known that it is
scarcely necessary to. speak a word
for him. It is enough to say that
wherever he hns been employed he
has given thme utmost satisfaction and
won the highest testimonials.
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.

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.

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
