Mount Vernon, Ga.. Maivh I:l.—The body
that was reported in Sunday’s Morning

this county, and buried by the neighbors
of that settlement, was taken up by Coro

in an advanced state of decomposition.
There were three wounds inflicted on the
body, two In the abdomen and one in the

purpose of sinking his body. On the feet
were a heavy pair of brogan shoes with

Colored Preacher Make* a Busty Ki
lt From Wuyeroaa.
tVayeross, Ga., March 13.—Last night
about 8 o'clock Mrs. W. C. Butler, on
Parallel street, was sitting in her room,
when the window blinds were suddenly
turned, and she saw' a negro man stand
ing on the porch.
She called to her daughter to bring a
light, and the negro left. From there he
went to the home of Mr. Jesse E. Butler,
a fw yards distant, and made an effort
to open the door, but was frightened
away.
Mr. Butler came home about S: and
when his wife told him of the occur
rence he called for Officers Cottingham
and Lee and secured J. P. Ulmer’s dogs.
The dogs were put on the track and, af
ter moving around in the porch a few
minutes, they made for "Uncle" Jesse
Butler’s house, and from there made a
bee line for the home of Rev. Wesley
Cooper, a negro circuit rider. Officer Cot
tingham knocked on the door, and the
negro colled out to know' who was there.
When told who It was. the negro re
fused to open the door.
The officer finally forced his
way In and grappled with the preacher,
who raised an ugly billet of wood and at
tempted to strike the officer.
In some way the negro got out, and suc
ceeded in making good his escape. The
officers fired at him two or three times,
but without effect. Being an Itinerant
preacher, it is supposed he is oft on his
ueual itinerary, even if he did make a
rather hasty start.
About midnight last night the watch
man at the Satilia Manufacturing Com
pany's plant discovered a blaze in the
market and store of A. W. Aiken in Old
Nine, near the Satilla Company, and turn
ed in an alarm.
Before the firemen could reach the scene
the store was nearly burned down, and
Che flames were already devouring a resi
dence adjoining, the property of Irwin
Warren, a colored porter at the Plant
System Hospital.
The negro saved most of his furniture,
but the house, together with the store and
market, was buVned. The exact loss can
not now be given, but it is supposed *I.OOO
will cover it. A. W. Aiken's insurance is
given as *750 on stock; W. A. Howell,
owner of the building, *200; Irwin Warren,
$323. The origin of the lire is unknown.
lIOMK IDF, IN JOHNSON.
'•* 'lan Named McDaniel Killed
by Inknonn Parties.
Dublin, Ga., March 13.—Yesterday news
reached the city of the assassination in
Johnson county Sunday night last of Mr.
•'Bug" McDaniel.
McDaniel wap at the house of Mandy
Btewart, a woman of the haif world, and
was called to the door by someone from
the outside. As soon as he appeared in
the doorway he was shot twice in the
breast with a gun loaded with buckshot,
■nd several times with a pistol.
On Monday an Inquest was held, the
Jury rendering a verdict that McDaniel
came to his death by the hands of un
known parties. It is said that the Stew
art woman and a woman named Kersey
rwore that they did not know of McDan
iel’s death until Monday morning, but
a young son of Mandy Stewart swore that
hts mother knew of the killing the night
before, and asserted that a man ' well
known In the community had committed
the crime.
McDaniel bore an unsavory reputation.
Some years ago he was tried in Laurens
Superior Court on the charge of attempt
ing to assassinate Capt. D. F. Williams
of Brewlon, but came clear of the
charges.
It is probable that McDaniel's slayers
will never be brought to justice.
Yesterday afternoon In this city. Mr.
William Striplirg, a prosperous young
farmer of this county, formerly of Screv
en county, was thrown from his wagon
by a runaway mule and Beverly hurt.
Btrlplirg's left leg was broken below the
knee twice and his face was badly cut.
Yesterday an election was held In this
city to determine whether or not bonds
to the amount of 123.000 should be issued
for achool and city improvement pur
poses By hard work the friends of the
proposed bond Issue succeeded in getting
Il votes to the polls, less than hulf of the
qualified voters of the city, 195 voting for
bonds, and 24 against bonds. Jn the elec
tion every person was allowed to vote
whether registered or not. Many refused
to take part In the elect km because they
believed the election had been Inproperly
called.
It is morally certain that the city will
be prevented from issuing tlie bonds un
til the courts shall pass upon the con
stitutionality of the election.
The objection to the bond issue is that
the City Council was not specific enough
In stating for what purpose the money
derived from the sale of the bonds is to
be used.

Columbia, S. C., March 13.—As Control
ler General Deriiam is about to distribute
*IOO,OOO of dispensary profit? to counties
for public schools, and as the distribution
is made on the basis of reported enroll
ment, quite a stir has been created by the
result of an examination of the reports
from the different counties.
Superintendent of Education Wallace of
Richland has called the attention of the
controller to the matter and asked for an
Investigation. He thinks some heavy
"padding" is being done somewhere. Ac
cording to reports, 20 per cent, of the
stale’s population is enrolled in the
schools. Richland county, with many
schools In the county and Columbia’s ex
tensive city schools, shows 15 per cent, of
population enrolled. Saluda, anew coun
ty. and a poor one with only country
schools, shows an enrollment oT 26>i per
c*enl. of population. Charleston county,
with Charleston’s expensive and largely
attended graded schools, shows but lit *
per cent, enrolled, while Edgefield has 24
per cent.
Twenty-five counties show an average
enrollment much larger than the reported
average for the state, while the other six
teen counties have a smaller percentage.
And in those sixteen counties are contain
ed the counties having the heaviest special
school taxes, and supposed to be in the
front rank of publle school education.
A FIREMEN’S TOURNAMENT.

Top heavy.
Columbia, S. C., March 13.—The South
Carolina Fireman’s Association will hold
a tournament in Newberry on June 5
and 6. This Is the annual state tourna
mrnt, and the invitation extended by the
City Council of Newberry and the Board
of Fire Masters to have it in that town
has been accepted.
Columbia’s Council has determined to
maintain a city chain-gang. Heretofore
the city convicts have been given to the
county In exchange for work on the city’s
streets. The annual cost to the city is
figured at $3,210. Heretofore many vag
rants and loafers who have been allowed
liberty will be given employment.
Columbia’s police force is getting top
heavy. Last night Council created the
office of lieutenant of police. This gives
a captain, a lieutenant and two sergeants
for a force of eighteen men. The force of
privates has been increased by only two
men in fifteen years, and during that
time the |K>pulatton within the limits has
increased 8,000 and in the immediate su
burbs 8,000. Ah a consequence the sight
of a policeman In the residence part of
the town, or three-fourths of its area, is
a novelty.

AN ILLITERATE HERO.
Monument n a Man Wlio Conid Mol
Read or Write.
From the Baltimore Sttn.
Two events associated with Sullivan’*
Island render that locality historical. On
Sept. 3. 1854, when the ocean was appar
ently calm, a dull continuous sound indi
cated a coming storm, and on the next
day the tempest came, sweeping away the
cottages and submerging the entire isl
and, except Fort Moultrie, where tKX) peo
ple spent the weary night until the morn
ing reveille announced the retreat of the
Atlantic wave anil the prospect of speedy
succor. Many years have passed, but the
impression of that occasion is indelible.
On June 28, 1776, Fort Moultrie, built of
palmetto logs, was attacked by a British
fleet, and in the midst of the battle Sergt.
William Jasper distinguished himself by
recovering the flag of the defenders,
which had fallen on the beach and was in
danger of capture. Alone he leaped from
the ramparts and in the sight of the
whole fleet replaced it on the baslion
amid the cheers which welcomed his re
turn.
On the next day Governor Rutledge re
warded Jasper for his valor by presenting
him with his own handsome small sword,
thanking him in the name of his country.
He also offered him a lieutenant's com
mission. but our hero, who could neither
read nor write, modestly refused it, say
ing "1 am not fit to keep officers' com
pany; I am but a sergeant.”
Subsequently engaged in successful par
tisan warfare Jasper was mortally wound
ed on Oct. 9, 1779, during an assalut on
Savannah, under the following circum
stances described by the historian: "The
colors of the Second South Carolina Regi
ment, which had l>een presented by Mrs.
Elliott just after the battle of Fort Moul
trie. were borne by Lieut. Bush, support
ed by Jasper, under the Inspiring leader
ship of Cos). Laurens, and planted on the
slope of the Springhlll redoubt. At the
sound of retreat’ Jasper, already sorely
wounded while trying to place on the par
apet the flag which had been shot down,
received his death wound. He, however,
seized the colors from the triumphant
enemy and bore them from the bloody
field.”
Maj. Ilorry, who was with the sergeant,
relates the following conversation; "1
have got my furlough and (pointing to
his sword) this sword was presented to
me by Gov. Rutledge for my services in
defending Fort Moultrie. Give it to ray
father and tell him I have worn it with
honor. If he should weep, tell him his
son died with the hope of a better life.
Toll Mrs. Elliott I died supporting the
colors of my regiment.”
There Is some uncertainty as to Jas
per’s burial. Perhaps it might be said of
him, as of Corunna’s Victor (once an en
sign):
Not a drum teas heard or a funeral note
As his corpse to the ramparts we hur
ried;
Not a soldier discharged his farewell
shot
O’er the grave where our hero was
buried.
On Feb. 22, 1888, there was a double
commemoration in Savannah. The streets
were thronged with residents and visi
tors from the country, regiments were
marching to inspiring music, the plat
form was occupied by honored guests and
officials, an eloquent oration was given
to listening crowds by Gov. John B. Gor
don, the veil was removed and there
stood in bold relief the statue of Jasper
uplifting the fallen colors.
After such an occasion Clio, the muse
of history, might exclaim:
“If Jasper could not read or write he
certainly has ‘made his mark' in the
beautiful monument in Savannah’s park
and in the seven counties which gladly
perpetuate his name.”

SUGAR CANE PLANTING.
Some instructions in Reguril In It.
The Time of Planting- nod tlie
Manner of Cultivation.
Now is the time for planting cane. The
land should be well prepared, luyed off in
five-feet rows and bedded. Plant the cane
in the water furrow, fertilizing with
about 400 pounds commercial fertilizer per
acre. At the last ploughing of cane
there should be from 200 to 400 pounds gu
ano to the acre put in the middle of the
rows, making in all 600 to 800 pounds per
acre.
Thus enriched, should make 400 gallons
of unadulterated syrup to the acre. Syrup
that will stand a test of thlry-four de
grees by the saceharometer at boiling heat.
This Is my method of evaporation: The
juice is prepared by running it from the
mill into a vat three feet deep, packed
with black moss, which filters and takes
out all foreign substance possible. The
Juice is then pum|>ed into a cypress vat
twenty feet long by four feet wide and
fourteen Inches deep, with eleven steam
pipes running the entire length. Steam
which can be easily regulated is turned
on, juice cooked and skimmed until
about half done, when it is turned into
another vat like first and cooked until
the saceharometer will stand 34 degrees
boiling heat. The syrup Is then ready to
be drawn off into a large cypress vat for
barreling. By this process I make 400 to
600 gallons per day, or 1,100 to 1,200 gallons
by running night and day. This method
of manufacturing gives a syrup of uni
form grade of finest quality, and will not
ferment in the spring. I have syrup now
made two years ago, that Is pronounced
as good as w hen first made. Cane is not
only profitable for producing syrup and
sugar, but the fodder and tops are valua
ble for stock. The fodder and tops should
be raked lip the second day after it Is
stripped, and stacked as corn fodder.
This is the finest cattle feed, as they
pat it as readily as timothy hay. It will
pay the cost of cultivation.
In conclusion X will say that syrup
should not only be made by a saccharome
ter, but it should be bought and sold by
the same gouge.
It Is not fair to offer a standard syrup
In competition with a syrup that will
only register 31 to 32 degrees by the
saceharometer. T. J. James.

Springs Company Suwanee, Fla., March

Dear Sir: I was troubled with Eczema,
and on my way South was advised to
visit Suwanee Springs. I went there on
Tuesday, March 5, arriving at noon. I
commenced to drink the water, and the
second day drank 4 of the bottles contain
ing about half gallon each, 2 galls in
til, continued this and took the hot baths,
and on Friday of the following week I
left the Springs entirely cured. A feel
elegant and have discovered no symp
toms of Eczema. 1 am now at Rockledge
and have advised quite a number of peo
ple to visit your Springs at once, among
them Dr. E. L. Diefenderfer and Wife
who is suffering with chronic stomach
trouble, he will visit your Springs imme
diately. 1 am sure he will be cured judg
ing from what the water has done for
rne and what I have witnessed it doing
for others while t the Springs. Please
send me a few' of your pamphlets describ
ing the Springs to my address at Scran
ton, Pa. Respectfully yours.
