Said Coroner'* Jury—Body Had Been In the Wnter Three Weeks or More. Mount Vernon, Ga.. Maivh I:l.—The body that was reported in Sunday’s Morning News as having been found in the Oc mulgee river swamp by Mr. Clements of this county, and buried by the neighbors of that settlement, was taken up by Coro ner Morrison to-day. and n jury itnpan neled, which brought in the following ver dict: "The body appeared to he that of a young man dressed in a dark blue cork screw suit of good material. There were a few papers in the pocket of the coat, something like an advertisement of a pat ent medicine sure cure for grippe, a short piece of poetry, and the throatlatch be longing to anew bridle. The body was in an advanced state of decomposition. There were three wounds inflicted on the body, two In the abdomen and one in the thoracic cavity, evidently done for the purpose of sinking his body. On the feet were a heavy pair of brogan shoes with no heels. The head could not be found anywhere, having been completely sev ered from the tgxly with an ax, the lick having been struck from behind. There j was nothing that would lead In the least i to identification." It is supposed that the body has been In the water three weeks or more. w as o itinerant. 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. ATTEMPTED TO HI HN CULUtOB.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO.. ATLANTA. &A. THE SCHOOL ROLLS PADDED. St non! lon in Mouth t arnliun—Poorest (ottatrlei fibow l.arffpnt Srliool AI ti'mluncf. 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. One to lie Held at New berry—Colum bia's Police Force Getting 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. 9 g I THE REVIVAL AT ATHENS.

THKMOKJNINCi .NEWS: THURSDAY. MAKCJI 14. 1901. 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.” George Armlstead Leakin. 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. YOUTHEN FOR CO 31M1 SSI ON UR.
