THE WATEREE PRIZE.
It is Stil Holding Together, and Doing a
Great Work.
On la;t Friday at Mr. T. L. John
ston's a regular monthly meeting of
the Watet ee Prize Club was held. A
member of THE NEWS AND i]ERALD
staffland Mr. .J. 31. Beaty had been
invited to be piesent.' In spite of the
ran, it was a very enjoyable day, and
the vis:t rs came away feelieg that
there is -t i.I some hope for the c ,untry.
Tie e to hah bre a lit e indifferei.t
duting the p-ast few monthS, LuZ is
noxv taking on new lite, ne(d will con
tinue to d1) good work in 11he intierest
of intel;igent farming. I is a real
pleasure to be present at one of these
meetings. The subject of p ,li ics n as
not mentioned during the whole day.
Farming and notbing but larming was
mentioned, and in and through it all
one could see that these gentlemen had
as their object the eiacovery c f
methods to get the -moast out of the
ground with the leazt cost, and they
seem to be making progre-s. One
little incident of the day shows how
they live out there, and it is hardly
probable that the same iunmber of
farmers in the same community.. in -the
coruty could assemble together; and
make as favorable a report of iwhat
they mere doing. Some one was
taunting Mr. Weir about his premature
railure in the contest for the best hog.
It seems that Mr. Weir got disgusted
with the slowness with which his pig
put on flesh, and turned it out in the
pasture. Mr. Weir got a little hot ii
the collar about it, and retorted that
he had not bought a pound of meat,
anyway. This brought out the same
remark from every one present. We
doubt very much whether there can
be found in the county a like number
of farmers living so close together
who can say the same thing. Not only
have they plenty of meat, bul there is'
an abundance of everything around
them. This is easily accounted for;
these gentlemen are etuding inftelli
gently the sCience of farmning and ap
plying what the y learn to practical
operation on their respective farms.
It must be remembered too l' .t their
lands are poor; so I oo that tLe place
used to be calkd "Sctomfetown" be
cruse everybody-there had to' scufle to
make a living. There is evidence that
"the scuming" has not been in yain,
and we wished that the whole State
was one big "Scuffetown." At the
meeting Mr. Hugh Wylie, who had
been appointed to read some appropri
ate piece, read a very interesting article
on foods for animals. This gave rise to a
very interesting discussion as to the
relative value as foods of corn, oats,
pea-vines, fodder, wheat-bran, arnd the
different kinds of hay &c. Mr. Wylie
produced a table prepared, we believe,
by Prof. Newman, f,>rmerly of Clem
son College, showing the relative
amount of protein, which produces
muscles, nerves, &c., and carbo.
hydrates, which produce fat. Corn
fodder stands very low in the scale,
and it is an openi question with the
club whether or not it is worth pulling.
Next year, the experiment will be
tested by the members leaving some
cortn with the fodder on it to see ex
actly how much the pullina2 retards the
full maturity of the corn. The pea
vine ranks very high as a food.
We give this very brief account of
the wneeting to show the line on which
the club is working.
The next meeting will be held at
Mr. Weir's next Friday week, and
committees will be appomuted to in
spect the various farms.
Before closing this, we must mention
bir. T. L. Johnston's two prize hogs.
lie has one fourteen months old, which
weighs nearly 500 lbs., anid another
nc~t quite seven months. old, which
weighs about 400 lbs. We fully ap
prciated how these hogs had gained
in weight by seeing the mates in the
pa lure. The rasture pigs weighed
about thirty pounds. Unless he has
bad luck, he stands a good chance of
the Netos and Courier prize. He shows
his itntelligenee by feeding these ani
mal.: on food which contains a great
deal of crbo-hydrates.

town, and we returned feelitng b--tter
for having made-th~e visit.

ITALIAN RIOTERS ARRAIGNED.
PIucEToN, Ill., .Aug. 17.-The
Italian rioters from -Spring Valley
were arraigned to-doy. Five men, in
addition to those men;ioned yesterday,
were irrestey at Spr ing Valley, making
the total number charged with assault
ing the co!ored people 28. The 23 men
were arraigned before Justice A. M.
Swengle, in the county court house.
The auditorium was crowded, and the
hallways and yards were filled with
people, many being from Spring
Valley. Less than twelve of the
prisoners can speak or understand
English. In the first case a change
of venue was taken, but no justice
could be found to try the cases. In
the second case, involving seventeen
men, an adlaurnment was taken until
Monday, when both cases will be
pushed. Bail, up to a late hour to
night, had not been furnished by any
of the prisoners, and they were taken
back to the jail, which is now greatly
overcrowded.

was at Clemson college on Friday.
He expressed in the warmest terms
his satisfaction with the arrangements

spoke, by special reqest, before the
faculty and tudents, and gave a brief
but graphic outline of his own experi
etices in establishing the Mississippi
college from almost nothing. RHe
warned his hearers especially and
urgently against being disccairaged by
failures or mistakes or criticisms. His
address was a timely one an-i had an
excellent effect.- Greenrille tics.

THE STRANGE STORY
Alla QnatermAi'sWife
BY H. RIDER HAGGARD,
AuToE OF "SHE," "KING SoLoMoN'@
MIU s," "ss,' "CLEo
PARU," Erc.
A NEW AFRICAN ROMANCE
"How on earth did you do that, In
daba-zimbi?" I asked, in amazement.
"Don't ask me, Macumazahn," he
gasped. "You white men are very
clever, but you don't know every thing.
There are men in the world who can
make people believe they see things
which they do not see. Let us be going
while we may, for when these Umtetwas
have got over their fright they will come
back to loot the wagons, and then per
haps thcy will begin to ask questions
that I can't answer."
And here I may as well state that I
never got any further information on
this matter from old Indaba-zimbi. But
I have my theory, and here it is, for
whatever it may be worth: I believe
that Indaba-zimbi mesmerled the wholo
crowd of onlookers, making them be
lieve that they saw the assegai in my
heart and the blood upon the blade.
The reader may smile and say: "Im
possible!" but I would ask him how the
Indian jugglers do their tricks unless it
is by mesmerism. The spectators seem
to see the boy go under the basket, and
there, pierced with daggers, they seem
to see women in a trance supported in
mid air upon the point of a single
sword. In themselves these things are
not possible; they violate the laws of
nature, and therefore must be illusions.
And so, through the glamor thrown
upon them by Indaba-zimbi's will,
the Zulu Impi seemed to see
me transfixed with an assegai that
never touched me. At least that is
my theory; if any one has a better, let
him adopt it. The explanation lies be
tween illusion and magic of a most im
posing character, and I prefer to accept
the first alternative.
CHAPTER VI.
I was not slow to take Indaba-zimbi's
hint. About a hundred and fifty yards
to the left of the laager was a little dell
where I had hidden my horse, together
with one belonging to the Boers, and
my saddle and bridle. Thither we went,
I carrying the swooning Tota in my
arms. To our joy we found the horses
safe, for the Zulus had not seen them.
Now, of course, they were our only
means of locomotion, for the oxen had
been sent away, and even had they been
there we could not have found time to
nspan them. I laid Tota down, caught
my horse, undid his knee halter and
saddled up. As I was doing so a thought
struck me, and I told Indaba-zimbi to
run to the laager and see if he could
find my double-barreled gun and some
powder and shot, for I had only my ele
phant "roer" and a few charges of pow
der and ball with me.
IIe went, and while he was away poor
little Tota came to herself and began to
cry, till she saw my face.
"Ah, I have had such a bad dream,"
she said, in Dutch; "I dreamed that the
black Kaffirs were going to kill me.
Where is my papa?"
I winced at the question. "Your papa
has gone on a journey, dear," I said,
"and left me to look after you. We shal
find him one day, You don't miind go
ing with Hleer Allan, do you?"
"No." she said,. a little doubtfully,
and began to cry again. Presently she
remembered that she was thirsty, and
asked for water. I led her to the river
and she drank. "Why is my hand red.
Heer Allan?" she asked, pointing to the
smear of Biombyane's blood-stained
fingers.
At that moment I felt very glad that I
had killed Bombyane.
"It is only paint, dear," I said; "see,
we will wash it and your face."
As I was doing this Indaba-zimbi re
turned. The guns were all gone; he
said the Zulus had taken thenm and the
powder. But he had found some things
and brought them in a sack. There was
a thick blanket, about twenty pounds'
weight of biltong or sun-dried meat, a
few double-handfuls of ship's biscuits,
two water-bottles, a tin pannikin, some
matches and sundries.
"And now, Macumazahn,' he said,
"we had best be going, for those
Umtetwas e comsing back. I saw one
of them on the brow of the rise,"
That was enough for me. I lifted
little Tota on to the bow of my saddle,
climbed into it and rode off, holding her
in front of me. Indaba-zimbi slipped a
rein into the mouth of the best of the
Boer horses, threw the sack of sundries
on to its back and mounted also, hold
ing the elephant gun in his hand. We
went eight or nine hundred yards in
silence till we were quite out of range
of sight from the wagons which were in
a hollow. Then I pulled up, with such
a feeling of thankfulness in my heart as
can not be told in words; for now I knew
that, mounted as we were, those black
demons could never catch us. But
where were we to steer for? I put the
question to Indaba-zimbi, asking him if
he thought we had better try and follow
the oxen that we had ;;nt away with
the Kaffrs and women on the p:r'.edin~g
night. lie shook his head.
"The Umtetwas will go after the oxen
presently," he answered, "and we have
seen enough of them."
"Quite enough." I answered, with ea
thusiasm; "I never want to see another;
but where are we to go? Hero we are
with one gun and a little girl in the
vast and lonely veldt. Which way shall
we turn?"
"Our faces were toward the nort)- ~oe
fore we met the Zulus." answered
Indaba-zimbi; "let us still keep the m to
ward the north. Ride en, Macumazahn;
to-night when we off-saddle I will look
into the matter."
So all that long afternoon wo reoeon,
following the course of the river. From
the nature of the ground we could only
go slowly, but before sunset I had the
satisfaction of knowing that there must
have been at least twenty-five n'iles
between us and those accursed Zulus.
Little Tota slept most of the way, the
motion of the horse was etasy, and she
was worn out.
At last the sunset came, and we off
saddled in a dell by the river. There
was not much to eat, but I soaked some
bircuit in water for Tota, and Indaba
zimbi and I made a scanty meal off bil
tong. When we had done I took off
Tota's frock, wrapped her up in the
blanket near the fire we had made, and
lit a pipe. I sat there by the side of the
orphaned child, and from my heart
thanked Providence for saving her life
ard mine from the slaughter of tha;
day. What a horrible experience it had
been! It seemed like a niightmare to
look back upon. And yet it was sober i1
fact, one among those many tragedies V
which dotted the path of thO emigrant n
Boers with the bones of men. women and t]
children. These horrors are almost for- b
gotten now; people living in Natal, for N
instance, can scarcely realize that some s
forty years ago six hundr(d white peo- il
ple, many of them womn and chil- o
dren, were thus massacred by the Impis b
of Dingaan. But it was so, rl tho g
name of the distric-t, 11'eem .. (,' the C:
Place of Weeping, will commemorate t
them forever. s
Then I fell to reflecting on tile extra
ordinary adroitness old Indaba-zimbi
had shown in saving my lif'. It ap
peared that he himself had lived among
the Umtetwa Zulus in his earlier man
hood, and was a noted rain-doctor and
witch-finder. lBut when T'Chaka, Din
gaan's brother, ordered a general
massacre of the witch-finders, he had
fled south and so saved his life. When
he heard, therefore, that the regiment
was an Umtetwa regiment, which. leav
ing-their wives and children, had broken
away from Zululand to escape the cruel
ties of Dingaan, he, under pretense of -
spying on them, took the bold course of go
ing straight up to the thief, Sususa, and
addressing him as his brother, which he
was. The chief knew him at once, and
so did the soldiers, for his fame was still
great among them. Then he told him
his cock-and-bull story about my being
a white spirit, whose presence in the
laager would render it invincible, and F
with the object of saving my life in the
slaughter which he knew must ensue
agreed to charm me out of the laager 2
and deliver me into their keeping. How t]
the plan worked has alrcady been told; b
it was a risky one; still, but for it my t
troubles would have been done with 0
these many days.
So I lay and thought with a heart full a
of gratitude, and as I did so saw old a
Indaba-zimbi sitting by the fire and go
ing through some mysterious perform- r
ance with bones, which he produced h
from his bag, and ashes mixed with j1
water. I spoke to him and asked him h
what he was about. 1He replied that he
was tracing out the route that we should i
follow. I felt inclined to answer "bosh," b
but remembering 'the very remarkable v,
instances which he had given of his c
prowess in occult matters, I held my t
tongue, and taking little Tota in6o my -
arms, worn out with toil and danger and e
emotion, went to sleep. c
I woke just as the dawn was begin- S
ning to flame across the sky in sheets of d
primrose and of gold, or rather it was p
little Tota who woke me by kissing me b
as she lay between sleep and waking, s
and calling me "papa." It wrung my t.
heart to hear her. I got up, washed. a
and dressed the child as best I could, h
and then we breakfasted as we had A
supped, on biltong and biscuit. Tota i
asked for milk, but I had none to give t.
her. Then we caught the horses, and I 1,
saddled mine. s
"Well, Indaba-zimbi," I said, "now a
what path do your bones point to?" a
"Straight north," he said. "The jour- s
ney will be hard, but in four days we
shall come to the kraal of a white mar., r.
an Englishman, not -a Boer. Ihis kraal r
is in a beautiful platce, and there is a v
great peak behind it where there are 1:
many baboons." 1
I looked at him. "This is all non- s
sense, Indaba-zimnbi," I said. "Whoever t
heard of an Englishman building a
house in these wilds, and how do you V
know any thing about it? I think that t
we had better strike east towards Port
Natal."
"As you like, Macumazahn," he an- ~
swered, "but it will take us three V
months' journey to get to Port Natal, if V
we ever get there, and the child will o
die on the road. Say, Macumazahn, e
have my words come true, heretofore, or s
have they not? Did I not tell you not

"Ad o tell you to teride worth, o<
Macuazahn, for there you will find ir
great happiness--yes, and great sorrow. h
But no man should run away from hap- bl
piness because of sorroW. As you will, 1c
as you will!" a
Again I loked at him. In his divina- ti
tinls I dlid not believe, but yet I came m I
to the conclusi'n that be was speaking f t
what he know to be the truth. h strenek h
me as possible that he might have heard s
of some white man living like a hermit p:
in thie wilds, but preferring to keep up a~
his prophetic character wouid not say a'
"Very well, Indaba-zimbi," I said, at
"let us ride north-"
Shortly after we started the river we
had followed hitherto turned off in a
westerly direction, so we left it. All
that day we rode across rolling uplands,
and about an hour before sunset halted
at a little stream which ran do wn from
a range of hills in front of us. By this
time I was heartily tired of the biliong, Q
o, taking Tyciephant rifle-for 1 hadg
nothing else --I lef t 'Tota with Indaba- ~
zimbi, and started to see if I could shouot
something. Oddly e.nouigh we had seen
no game all the day, nor did wo se.e any
on the subs'quent days. F'or soem ms-j
terious reason they had tempnorarilyleft
the district. I er(os>-'d th-e little streem
iet in order to enter the belt of
thorns which~ grew upon1 the hill
side beyond. for there I1hopd to
find a buck. As I ddo. I was
rather disturbed to see the spoor of
two lions in the soft, sanay. ed: of ?a
pool. Breathing the hope that they
might not still be in the neighborhood,
[ went on into the belt of scattered
thorns. For a loag while I huntedY
about without seeing any thing except -
ne dinker buck, which bounded off
with a crash fre'.n the other side of a
stone without giving me a chance. At hat
length, just as it grew dusk, I spied a i ~

I picked up the Prtie in triuimph and

There was no moon that night. and so
; chanced that when I suddenly remen
ered the lion spoor, and suggested that
'had better tie up the horses quite
lose to us, ve could not find them,
aough we knew that they were grazing
ithin fifty yards. This being so, we
>uld only make up the fire and take our
aance. Shortly afterward I went to
Lecp with little T ta in my arms. Sud
only I was awak ne-a b hearing that
eculiar painful sound, the scream of a
orse, quite close to the fire, which was
Aill burning brightly. Next second
aer') came a noise of galloping hoofs,
ad before I could even rise my poor
orse appeared in the ring of firelighL
s in a flash of lightning I saw his star
ig eyes and wide-stre tched no.strils, and!
ie broken rein with which he had been
nee-haltered flying in the air. Also I
iw something else, for on his back was
great dark. form vi.h glowing eyes,
nd from the forni came a growling
und. It was a lion.
The horse dashed on. TIe gallop~ed
[ght through the fire. for which he had
an in his terror-crtucnately, however,
-ithout treading~ on us-"nd vaise
ito the night. We heard his hoofs for a
undred yards or moe: then- there was
lence, broken nowv and ain by dis
tnt growls. As may be imagained, we
id not slee p any moere tha t night, but
aited anxiously till, two -hoursltr
a dawn brok.
As soon as thr wa cu:lcient light
-e rose. ar-d, I --vin Tota sti asleep,
rept cautioasly it the direction in
hich the horse hs v:..ished. When
*e had gone fi; yards er so we made
ut the remains lying on the veldt, and
aught sight of two gre-t c:t-like forms
inking away in th" gray I ight.
To go any further was useless; we
new all about it now, and we turned to
>ok for the other horse. Ilut our cup of
dsfortune was not ye t full. It was no
-here to be~found. Soon~ we came upon its
poor, and then we sa ; what had hap
ened. Tcrrified by the sight and smell
the lions, it had with a desperate of
>rt also burst the rein w'th which it had
een krnee-haltered. and galloped far
way. For now we we-.re left alone in
aese vast solitudes without a horse to
irry us, and with a child who was not
l enough to v.al k mut- than a little
'a at a time.
Well, it was no use- giving in, so, with
few words, we went hack to our~ "ampt,
-here I found Tota crying because she
ad woke to find herself alone, and ate
little food. 'ihen we prepared to start.
irst, w~e divided such articles as we
cust take with us into two equal parts,
jecting every thing that we could pos
bly do wvithout. Then, by an after
ought, we filled our water-bottles.
ough at the time I was rather against
sing so because of the extra weight.
ut Indaba-zimbi overrulkd me in the
atter, forttunately for ali three of us.
settled to look after 'rota for the first
