101116 Bim MURDERED. BODY LITERALLY HACKED TO PIECKS. Young Boy Arrested Charged With ClUwi Ao'ounl Most Horrible in Detail?Culprit Spirited Away. Tampa, Fla.. Fab. 13.?Following the Unding of the horribly mutilated body of 14 year-old Mary Teddei at the home of her father at Glenwood yesterday afternoon, Irvin Hanchett. a 16-year-old white boy, was arrest? ed this morning. He was immediate? ly spirited away by the sheriff to es? cape the enraged posaes of cltltens also in search of the murderer. Additional details received hero from the murder are horrible. A bi? cycle, which the girl was riding, was found 100 yards from where her body was discovered, Indicating that her assailant had struggled with her for this distance after knocking her from her wheel. The body of the girl showed 65 knife wounds. She was literally cut to pieces. That the girl's assailant had other motives than murder is believed from the condition of her clothing. She had been beaten about the face before being stabbed. Following the organisation of pos? ses of cltlsens In search of a negro supposed to have committed the crime, the sheriff secured bloodhounds and followed a trial in the orange grove of William Woolsey, where young Hanchett was employed. After a careful Investigation the boy was placed under arrest In his room was found bloody clothing ami the knife with which it is bellevec. he committed the murder. Wher he was arrested he seemed unconcerned, but strenuously denied that he had committed the crime. The boy came to Glenwood last October. Previous to this he had been confined in a school of correc? tion at some point In Connecticut. The boy Is said to be of an unusually vic? ious temperament, and as soon as it was learned that he had been ar? rested on a strong chain of circum? stantial evidence excitement was in? tense. He was spirited away in an automobile, and la believed to have been carried to Jaokonsville and placed In jail. - LANAHAM N.II.L SETTLE. Baltimore Liquor Dealern Trying to Compromise With Commission.

Of the curious Ideas of hospitality held by some of the natives of that wild country lying between Bagdad and Damascus two travelers, Captain Butler and Captain Aylmer, tell in the Geographical Magazine: We found Feysul Ibn Rashld ( a minor ruler of Arabia) sitting In a low room, the roof of which was supported by wood? en pillars. All around the sides of that room were spread carpets, on which aat his viziers and members of his court. He Is a man of 33 years with a dark, pointed beard, good, regular features, but eyes that are cold and cruel, and he has a nervous, fidgety manner and was all the time arranging his abba (cloak) and combing and curling his mus? tache and beard and e.dmirlng him? self In a 3mall. cheap looking glass that hung just behind him. Above hit head on the wall hung his silver mounted walking stick and a sword, the sheath of which was also covered In silver. He was very richly dressed. "On our arrival at the house placed at our disposal, we congratulated ourselves on our good fortune In having such a cordial welcome, but we were speedily disillusioned. We had not been there more than five m inutes when Feysul's head slave, a richly dressed personage called Dahm, came to tell us that the emir would not take our camels or our money as he had plenty of both, but that he would like things of Euro? pean make or of Interest that we happened to have. This was only too true and during our five day's stay there was a continual process ton of slaves and hangers-on from the castle demanding things for the emir and his viziers and favorites and demanding them in such a way that it waa impossible for us to re? fuse At last we had practically nothing of any value left, having been fleeced of watches, revolver, compasses, various clothes and other articles of our kit. "Apart from this system of more or less polite robbery we were well treated by the emir and had our food sent us from the castle by him. About three or four times a day we had a royal command from him and used to go up to the castle and drink many cups of coffee and excellent sweet tea with him, and talk about his country and Europe. He was al? ways very genial on these occasions, and I honestly think he considered he waa treating us well in not taking all we had and turning us adrift to die In the desert. Knrmergranis.

Cherokee county has demon? strated the fact that in the cotton raising industry she is entitled to take rank In he very front. In the contest inaugurated by the National Bank of Gaffnev, some enormous yields were obtained, among them being that of Mr. J. W. Smith with 921 pounds on one here; Mr. E. R. Cash. ovith 750, Mr. T. H. Lockhart, with a yield of more than 600 pounds on one acre. All these gentlemen say that the yields which they got last season will look small, later on as they intend to increase them this season very ma? terially. This county has within the j past few years made wonderful prog ress in farming and stock raising, an 1 j the other counties in the State must | look to their laurels, else Cherokee will pluck them, and take the lead in these respects, as she has in many others. Mr. E. R. Cash has kindly given The News and Courier correspondent hi* method of cultivation, which was as follows: "Kind of land used, very poor, gray soil with yellow clay, which had been planted in cotton for several years, yielding from four to five hun? dred pounds seed cotton per acre. I used as fertilizers on the aere one ton of high grade fertilizer, and nine loads of barn yard manure. About the last of January I turned the land with a Lynchburg 2-horse plough, ten Inches deep, first week in March I ploughed the land again with a one horse turn plough, distributing guano In every furrow, and followed the dis? tributor with a one-horse subsoil plough. At this time I used one thou? sand pounds of guano. On April 4th I laid off the rows 5 1-2 feet apart and bedded with a large shovel plough on April 13. Planted seed with a Cole Hill planter 16 inches apart in the drill, and on April 26 ran weeder over cotton across the rows. On May 4 ran round cotton with side harrow; on May 7 chopped out cotton to one and two stalks in hill. On May 10 ran round cotton again with side har? row, using larger ploughs, and on May 14 and 15 thinned cotton to one stalk in the hill. On May 18 ran round cot? ton with 13-inch bow and small tongue plough, and on May 21st ploughed out middle with cultivator, and hoed the plants. On May 28th ran round cotton with cultivator, which ploughed out the middle entire. On May 31st hoed cotton again, and on June 4 distributed 300 pounds guano alongside of cotton about five Inches from the plants In every alter? nate row, following with 16-Inch how small shovel plough. On June 12, treated the other rows In the same manner, and again distributing 300 pounds of guano. On June 18 and 19 distributed four loads of manure rak? ed from the cow lot, and on June 21 ploughed cotton with 21-inch bow and small plough, and on June 28 dis? tributed 200 pounds guano In middles and ploughed cotton with small plough and 2-Inch bow. On July 8 or 9, applied 200 pounds nitrate of soda, distributing same on each side of cotton about 6 or 8 Inches from the plants, and ploughed in with a small plough and 24-inch bow, this finished the cultivation. Before break? ing the land the first time In Janu? ary I distributed broadcast 5 loads of manure raked up from the lot. I used Cook's improved big boll cotton seed. I commenced picking cotton on September 24, and at the first pick? ing gathered 295 pounds. October 14 gathered 696 pounds, on October 27 gathered 634 pounds, and on No? vember 30 gathered 619 pounds, mak? ing a total of 2,235 pounds of seed cotton, from which was ginned 750 pounds of lint cotton." Mr. Cash says that he will make a much larger yield this season, provid? ed the season Is favorable, as he has learned a number of things which he did not know before, and his method of cultivation will be much more in? telligent than it was last season. Why? "Why do we send missionaries to the savages?" asked the man. "To civilize them." "What good does that do them?" "It educates them out of habits of Idleness," "And what then?" "They go to work." "What do they work for?" "To become prosperous and rich.' "What good does prosperity do them ?" "It procures them leisure and com? fort." "Which Was what they had before you started stirring them up.

(From the Nineteenth Century.) 1 The outcasts of Hindu society form all over India a distinct sec? tion of the population, numbering about 60,000,000. They are the des? cendants of various races who inhabi? ted India before the Aryan invasion, and who vere, through various causes, reduced to a state of slavery or serfdom. Some of them were the slaves of the ruling races before the Aryans entered India. Certainly in South India slavery was a regular Institution long before the appearance of the Aryans. But some of the ser? vile classes of the present day have in historic times fallen from a high estate and were originally ruling classes in the countries where now they are slaves. Sir. W. W. Hunter says that the Bhars were formerly the monarchs of the center and east of the province of Oudh, in North India; that they were the traditional fort-builders to whom all ruins are popularly assigned, and that they were reduced to slavery by a Mohamme? dan ruler of Jaunpur. So again, he says; "The Gaulis are ancient ruling races of the central provinces, the Ahams of Assam, a?nd the Gonds, Chandelas and Bundelas, of Bundel kund, are other Instances of crushed races. In centres of the Aryan civil? ization low casts and out casts on which the aboriginal people have been pounded down In the mortar of Hinduism into the labor system of India rests." The same is true of the Parelyars of South India. There is a great deal of evidence to show that ordi? narily they were the ruling race in the Tamil country. They had their own priests, the Valluvas, who were priests to the Pallava Kings in what are now the Tanjore and Trichinopoly districts, before the advent of the Brahmans. The greatest poets among the Tamil people, the weaver poet Tiruvalluvar and the poetess Avvaiyar, who wrote about the ninth century A. D., before the Brahmans had secured a dominant Influence in the extreme south of India, both be? long to the Parelyar race, and even to this day there is a family saying all over the Tamil country which lit? erally means "Parelyar the elder brother of the Brahmans." Marshman, In his "History of India," (vol. 1. page 21), says: "A Tamil literature existed before the introduction if Brahmanism, and some of the best authors in that language were of the tribe now stig? matized as Parelyars, which lncon testably proves that the Parelyars were a highly cultivated people who were reduced to subjection and de? graded by the triumphant Brah? mans." These out caste races are called by different names in different parts of India and ha ve various occupations. Large numbers are agricultural laborers, many are leather workers, some are weavers, others again are seevengers and sweepers. But what ever their occupation, they are in? variably treated by the Brahmans and the upper castes as degraded and polluted. As a rule, the Hindus feel no sympathy for them and are unwilling to concede them any rights whatever. ?While it Is often Impossible to prevent an accident, It is never im? possible to be prepared?it is not be? yond any one's purse.
