NEGRO ATTACKS AGED WHITE MANMASONIC
LODGE TO GIVE
SMOKER-PERiONAL.
Harpers, November ?An e.\<rifcug
occurrence took place in West
End of town Saturday. Ev Convict
Jiitt Washington ami Mr L A Mcr
Cants hud some word- at ttie Harpers
(lin CVsgin house. Washing-,
tort, who i? a burly negro about 21 j
years olil. caught Mr McCants and I
crushed him to the ground and would
no doubt have killed him but for
Messrs C 1\ Feagin and II C Marshall
running to Mr McCants'res-j
one. Mr McCants is an old man,!
nearly 60 years of age, and :s weak j
physically. This is the negro who j
broke the store of \V I? Cainlin in
M;tv. l'JUU, and served a terui of two
and a half years in the State prison.
As ;0on as his term was out, about
I
two months ago, he returned to this
town and was at once taken up by
some of our white people in town and
given work. Now,this is the outcome
?an old white man brutally attack
ed and no doubt would have been
murdered but for the timely help of
his friends. The matter was reported
to the town officers and the negro
has been arrested. We await the
outcome of the case at the hands of
the authorities. Mr McCants is an
old Confederate soldier and is one of
the best and most quiet and conservative
citizens of this community.
His assailant is one of the same
family of Hannah negroes with such
criminal records. One Dare Hannah
killed his father, Alton Hannah,
and escaped thechaingang in Georgetown
county four years ago. His
brother, Albert Hannah, killed
Charley Scott here in town two years
ago and is uow serving a five year
t?Tiu in tilt- cnaingang in ueorgeiown
county.
Thia negro who assaulted Mr McCant8
ia of the same family, only
younger. What will be the outcome
ia yet to be seen. Our white people
are greatly enraged over the matter
and threats can be heard in all parte
ot the town. It ia generally .believed
that the negro was put up to de this
act by some white people whose actiousat
present bear out this belief,
Supt Walter H Andrews, of the
G & W railroad, is expected in town
to-Jay, having just returned from
his bridal tour.
Mr J J Morris of Lake City spent
several days of last week in town.
The people ot our town are always
delighted lu set- Mr Morris. His
cheering words and pleasant smile
are ever welcome in our midst.
The members of the Harpers Masonic
lodge, No 225, will elect their
officers for the ensuiug year next
Thursday night, the 25th inst, and
will serve a smoker or luncheon to
their members and friends. All are
lookiug forward to a grand time. We
have a flourishing lodge at this place
and hope to have our District Deputy
with us on this occasion.

How to Cure a Ham.
I
A general cure which would 1
j make a good ham under proper
conditions would include as follows, j
according to the American Agii-.
eulturalist: To each 100 pounds1
I of haul, use 1 1-2 pounds Liverpool
fine salt, 1 1-2 pounds granulated,
; sugar and 4 ounces of saltpeter.
Weigh the meat and the ingredients j
in the above proportions, ruu tne,
meat thoroughly with the mixture,1
and pack closely in a tierce. Fill1
the tierce with water and roll every!
seven days until cured, which in a
temperature of 40 to 50 degrees!
would require about 50 days for a,
inediutn ham. Large hams require j
ten days more for curing. When;
wanted for smokiug, wash the hams
in water or soak for 12 hours.
Hang in the smokehouse and smoke
slowly 48 hours and you will have
a very good ham.
Another method of pickling
hams and shoulders, preparatory to
smoking, includes the use of molasses.
To 4 quarts ot fine salt add
2 ounces of pulverized saltpeter,
add sufficient molases to make a
Dastv mixture. The hams having j
4
huug in a dry, cool place tor three
or four days after cutting up, are to
be covered on all sides with the
mixture. Put it more thickly on
flesh side, then lay skiu side down
for three or four days.
In the meautime, make a pickle
of the following proportions, the
quantities here named being for
100 pounds of ham: Coarse salt
7 pounds, brown sugar 5 pounds,
saltpeter 2 ounces, potash or pearlash
1-2 ounce, soft water 4 gallons.
Heat gradually, and as the skim
rises remove it, Coutinue to do
this as long as an7 skim rises, and
when it ceases, allow the pickle to
cool. When the hams have remained
the proper time immersed in
this mixture, cover the bottom of a
clean, sweet barrel with salt 1
inch deep. Pack in the hams as
closely as possible, cover them with
the pickle, and place over tlnm a
follower with weights to keep them
down. Small hams of 15 pounds
or less, also shoulders, should remain
in the pickle for five weeks.
Larger ones require six to eight
we^ks, according to size. Let them
dry well before smoking.?Nucs

Illinois Again Unfortunate.
Again, almost within the shadow 1
of the home of Abraham Lincoln,!
aud with the memory of Spring
tield's riot still vivid, has a mob
wreaked vengeance that was the
law's. It has fallen to Cairo, 111.,
to furnish the '"ost serious
f inot.iim.-, rtf ill/kVk I
il tllAI^U 111CUUIVV V/i 11 r / u ivivnt v )
involving the problem of the races
within the year.
The passions of the mob were
were aroused by the brutal and fiendish
crime of negroes, the same
well-recognized cause of illegal mob
vengeance which lias stirred communities
from time immemorial;
which figures in history, ancient
and medieval, as well as modern.
Grimly enougn, but evidently as
an afterthought, the mob continued
its work by putting to death a
white man who had murdered his
wife; making apparent effort to
eliminate the element of racial
antagonism as the actuating cause.
But is impossible to get away from
the fact that this was the primary
cause, the match that set ablaze
the powder train that brought explosion
of human passion. The
lynching of the white man, following
that of the negro, gave unique
turn and unusual color to the
deplorable tragedy, bat otherwise,
in all of its circumstaAes and details,
it differed little from the
many which have preceded it,
finding its foundation in the same
passions which nave remained unchanged,
except as to control, since
the days of barbarism, and which,
under given conditions, will burst
through restraint today the same as
they did a hundred or a thousand
years ago. As in the case of the
Springfield riot, the unfortunate,
outburst at Cairo demands sympathy
as well as reproof.
It matters not where people live
. ila
lu^cuici iu uuuiftuuunj) iuuc 10
present that same sleeping volcano
et human passion, which, under
given conditions, will break into
eruption. It matters not what the
latitude or longitude; it is only a
question of supplying the proper
fuel for the flame.
Of course, such mob outbursts
must be met and repressed as
speedily as possible by legal force;
but too often the work of the mob
is done before legal repression can
be applied. Essential though they
be, however, the ultimate remedy
will not come through these momentary
manifestations of the power
of the law. It must he, at least, in
that education which will reach both
the minds uud souls of mei:, inculcating
a firm and well-grojiiied
respect auu regard for lav/ aud
erecting it as an effective and lasting
barrier between disorder and
peace. It is not the law, but the
full grown and well developed re
spect for law, in which must be
found the cure for the 1110b.?Atlanta
Constitution.
Tbe Newspaper Indispensable.
Occasionally a man is found iu
every community who thinks he
cannot afford to be a subscriber to
a local paper. Does he take out his
pencil and figure in a cool, methodical
way the cost of a weekly
paper at one dollar a year? Does
he calculatingly prove that this expense
is but twenty-five cents for
thirteen weeks, eitrht and a third
cents a month, less than two cents
a week, a quarter section of one
cent a day? Does he, in fairness to
himself, make comparison of this
newspaper expense with his tobacco
bill or other indulgence which he
might forego with profi? Not much.
That daddy dollar which pays for
the local newspaper has been dangliug
before his eyes and growing
bigger at every glance, until it
assumes the proportions of a Ferris
wheel in his imagination.
xt- -a.: i ._ t_ . m
i>u citizen can anoru to ue Wlin-1
out a local paper, and all of the
newspapers in his neighborhood,
for no one page can give all the
happenings of human interest. It
is safe to say that $5 a y<?ar represents
the actual value cf a local
newspaper to the average subscriber.
There are ideas advanced and suggestions
given, the value of which
to the reader is little thought of.
As a business proposition the local
newspaper is worth many times the
remarkably low subscription price
asked, saying nothing of the question
of sentiment..?.#*

Those who desire to pay their taxes
through the mail would expedite mat|
ters by dropping the Treasurer a postal
asking for the amount of their taxes so
as to avoid sending the wrong amount,
also stating the township or townships,
(if property is owned in more than one)
ana if possible give school district wh^re
property is located, also state whether
poll or road tax, or both, are wanted.
Alter paying taxes examine your receipts
and see if all of your property is
covered. If not, see about it atonce.
By following the above suggestions
complications and additional cost may
be avoided.
