The HnnK'iH"
Perry Ctly, colnml, was lnuvil at
(Jreonvillf, S. C, on Friday f last week,
fur the murder f Firry Andir.-ou, nW
colored. The murderer and his victim
were lintU married men and lived within
100 yards or each other, four miles Iroiu
Greenville. For some time previous to the
tragedy the two men had been on bad
terms in consequence of a suspicious inti
macy between Cely ami Anderson's wife
Kosa, and Cely had been 1'orbuUlcn by the
injured husband to come about his prem
ises. ut on Sunday evening, April 8th,
(Jely went to Anderson's, and calling Hosa
to the door asked if her husband was at
home. She said ho was not, ond asked
Cely what he wanted. He said he wished
to talk to her While Handing at tho
door Anderson came up, and reminding
Cely that he had warned him to keep oil
his premisys, passed into tho house. Cely
drew a pistol and discharged it after him,
anil Rosa running In exclaimed, "My God !
you have killed ray husband." Cely said,
"Yes, I have, and they'll bang me for it."
He then went and told his wife what he
had done and gave himself up to the po
lice. His only defense was self-defense,
saying Auderson had codo into the house
to get his gun to shoot him. He died say-
ini? all was rinht between him and his
God.
Taylor Banks, colored, was hanged on
the same day at Scottswood, Ala., for the
murder, in December last, of Turner
Woods, also colored. Tho latter was an
honest, hardworking man, about 50 years
of age, living in his own house four miles
north of Scottswood. Ho was in his
uining room eating supper, when a shot
gun was fired through a cracit between the
logs, and he received a fatal load ot buck
shot in the face and neck. A train of cir
cumstances traced the murder to Taylor
Hanks, with complicity of the murdered
man's wile, who had hired him to do it.
Both were tried and found guilty, Bank.-
being sentenced to death, and the woman
to the penitentiary for life.
The third victim of the rope on Inst
hangman's day was Deno Casat, for the
murder of George L. Barnes, at Little
Bock, Ark. Kichardsou, the master me
ckanic in the Iron Mountain Bailroad
shops at Little Bock, hud discharged Deno
Carat's father for cause, but which so
wrought upon tho latter tliat he committed
suicide. Then Deno went to the shop to
shoot Richardson, but not finding him
there, accused Barnes, Richardson's clerk
of having had a hand in his father's dis
charge, and lii.ing in liquor, no reasoning
or protestation could pacify hi'ii, and he
i-hot Barnes, lie then ran oil' and hid in
tho brush on the bank of the river, but
was followed by officers and soon arrested.
Ho had two trials, at tho first of which the
jury disagreed, but the second found him
guilty ot murder u.. the first degre, and
ho was hanged accordingly.

Why Trlcen for liutterare Low,
The Ohio Farmer is considering some
ol ibe cuuscs that operate against uniform
prices for dairy goods, including in-
eouality of production, forced sales of
short-lived summtr butter, the inability to
make a good, cheap and long-keeping ar
ticle for export, etc., sums up the situation
as follows:
The remedy can only lie found in a yet
better grade of goods, and made at all sea
sons of tho yea i, so as to bo fresh, and of
decided flavor aud quality. The better
quality implies better apparatus at tho
farm dairy, or eo operation, and that con
ducted by makers who are thoroughly con
versant with their business, and not man
aged by novices who do not understand
one principle of the science that underlies
tho workiug of dairy goods. Such goods
do not need to be consumed the day after
they arc made to keep them from spoiling
and they give both dealer and consumer
confidence in the article. The future of
dairying is one ol promise, for these mat
ters will in a measure right themselves,
and there must also bo a demand tliat will
both emarge as it relates to the average
consumption of each individual, but also
as governed by our rapidly augmenting
population. Figured at present rates, we
must needs increase the production of but
t r alone nearly 50,000.000 pounds each
year to meet the needed supply ot our
rapidly increasing population. If no pour
butter was made, anil this is a goou keep
er, it would force out the 250,000,000
pounds of bogus products made in this
country, and give atiumlant relief trom
our present oveierowded market.
A common cold should not lie neglected,

Thk Onto Campaign. There is a good
deal ot whistling li keep their cuiirage up
among the Ohio republicans Over the
pending fill campaign, but John Sherman,
at leitst, has no faith i.n the party's success
A correspondent of tho H'orW had an in
terview a tew days njro with Gen. lk-nj. F.
Cowle, late Assistant Secretary of the Inte
rior and now editor of the Columbus Jour-n-il,
who is reported as remarking:
That Secator Sherman has not given as
liberally to the campaign fund as had been
expected, as he thought that all the money
spcH in this campaign was only wasted:
that no expenditure could save the st ite to
the republicans this fall, and that all th.
party could expevt to do this campik't;
was to pres Tve the organization and n xl
tail carry the state by a larg.i expenditure
of money. The senator thought that die

Glucoae and Mucrote.
The Heientijie American regards the
problem of making sugar from sorghum
as solved. "In searching for tho reasons
for tho former failures to crystaliza euij.ir
trom sorghum syrup," it says, "wo ilnd
ourselves brought directly down to the
chemical dilfereuco between glucose and
sucrose, known m morn common language
na grapo and cue su;ar. And with the
dilfereuco in their composition we must
meet also tin) different relations they sus
tain to tho laws and force of crystalliza
tion. We have loug been familiar with
the lad that cauc sugar crystallizes readily,
but that grapo sugar in its ordiuary states
wil. not crvstailizo at all. e nave also
known that sorghum sirup was in chttf
part a solution ol glucose in water, anu
that because of tho preseuco of this uncrys-
tallizable suuar wo tailed to outain any
crystals.thouih wo were well aware that su
crose was also present. This may be fair
ly stated as about the extent ot our practi
cal knowledge three years ago. The fact
remained that no oue could tell what a
given lot of sorghum sirup would do;
perhaps it would crystallize, perhaps it
toould not.
In ttie special report No. l3 in the Do
partmentoi Agriculture wo have the "ana
lytical and .other work done on sorghum
and corn-stalks by the chemical division
of the department, July to December
1880." Dr. Collier, chemist ot the depart
ment, establishes here cerliin points, from
which we may make our own inferences.
One of the chief objects ho had in view
was to ascertain the uctual and the rela
tive qualities of sucrose and of glucose
contained in tho juice or the sorghum
during the successive stages of its growth.
This was done carefully and continuously
aud with extreme accuracy. The laws ot
increase aud of diminution were ascer
tained as lull v as the work of a single
season would allow, and in the report he
was able to represent these results in a se
rles oi "graphical plates" which show at a
glance the proportions of sucrose and of
glucose at the dates glrcn. One ot these
may serve for all very correctly, for though
no two may agree ruiiy, as migui nave
been expected, yet all agreed in the main
features, and they prove this succession of
events.
Commencing in the late days of July,
we see that tho glucose exceeds the sucrose
in quantity, but this condition ceases by
about the first of August. From this time
tho sucroso increases rapidly though not
uniformlv, partial rotrogrations occurring,
of brief duration. When tho seed begins
to harden, say about the middle of Septem
ber, the increase is cbeckeil until ttio seed
is nearly ripe: then it goes on, and at the
full maturity of the seed it has reached its
maximum, wnicu n maintains wiiu omy
at the most a small waste. This maximum
is equal, as a schedule shows, to tho aver
age sucrose of sugar cane, and in some va
rieties crocs decidedly above it.
While these changes have taken place
in the amount of sucrose, precisely tho op
posite has been going on with the glucose.
It has as steadily grown less and less, and
at the time ot maturity it has fallen to
very nearly the average ot the glucose ol
sugar cane, and in some varieties is even
be ow it.
We have then this condition: when tho
sorghum cane is fully mature, its sucrose
has reached its maximum ana its glucose
its minimum, and each of these is in about
the quantity and the proportions in whick
it exists m averaire suirar cane. We mar
therefore niler that it will yield a return of
stiirar of eoual weiL'ht and value to that ot
sugar cane, and will do it as surely and as
readily. It this were absolutely true, wo
snould have tho key of the situation in our
hands; but our sugar is not yet certain,
though fortunately we are able to-make it
.so. Sorghum juice is not sugar cane
juice. It is unstable m its chemical char
acter. Its sucrose, though so largely in
Iho ascendency, has a strange perverse ten
dency to take t itself another equivalent
of 1102, aud thus become at once glucose.
Unless this tendency is arrested every
grain of available sugar miy have oisaji-
neareJ. anu t robably win. wiinin iwi niv-
four hours from the commencement of the
chance, that N, from the cutting of the
sorghum. The tranl'oiination can be pre
vented by the use of lime, but practically
this is best done by boiling.
Here, then, is the mystery laid lure; th''
kev is now fairly within our hands. iVr-

ing the juice; these ere the two essuiiiinl
po:nis. With them success isturej with
out them we may expect failure; we shall
have a glucose situp and nothing else.
Nor are thes-j ais riious made at random.
Dr. Collier proved in the labratory, it is
true, the points which wn hav.i In re urn,
and it is scarcely possible to ii.vard to lntn
too great credit for his skill and ilietiuly
practical results at which ne arnvo'l. lii t
we can now go hvyond him, to that which
his researches have really secured in actual
field work. Suttti' from sorghum cane lias
begun now to be a tealily, and not, as it
was belore, a ehaure xlmt only. The i turn
is a matter of business ceil duly : as much
. . ii-..
so as mat irom sugar cane. o cmmoi
here detail the crop reports of l'J, bin
I hey lully justify all the statements We
have made.
It is easv mnv to understand the capri
cious character acquired by i-orchuni in
previous years. Kvcry now aud iheu ma
turity and promptness would combine, and,
as a matter of course, beautiful sugar
showed itself; if either of these two were
wanting, beautiful sirup was the only
reward.
James McDuniels, 72$ VV. 2'Jd fit., Cbieacn,

It is found that if rye is grazed so close
ly us not lo allow seed to form, its root
will live several years and form a turf.
The root penetrates deeply, and the leaves
while young are greedily eaten by all
kinds of slock.

make out the pol'ey at oiv e ' " Who is
the other mutt Y" asked theaint, a he
handed over the pHpi'is and pocketed the
premium. Ilewi.s told, and when lie went
to bed lhi:t night he h i' 'hut the two
policus issued that d-iv neie the safest
risk he had ever accomplished.
Failing!
That is what a great
many people are doing;.
They don't know just what
is the matter, but they have
a combination of pains and
aches, and each month they
grow worse.
The only sure remedy
yet found is Brown's Iron
Bitters, and this by rapid
and thorough assimilation
with the blood purifies and
enriches it, and rich, strong
blood flowing to every part
of the system repairs the
wasted tissues, drives out
disease and gives health and
strength.
This is why Brown's
Iron . Bitters . will cure
kidney and liver diseases,
consumption, ' rheumatism,
neuralgia, dyspepsia, mala
ria, intermittent fevers, &c.
Mr. Simon Hbnclurd, a well
known citizenof Hayesville, Meaile
county, Kentucky, tayj : " My wife
had been sick for a long time, and
her constitution was all broken
'down and she was unable to work.
She was advised to use Brown's Iron
Hitters, and found it to work like a
charm. We would not now be with
out it for any consideration, as we
consider it the best tonic in the
world."
Brown's Iron Bitters
is not a drink and does not
contain whiskey. It is the
only preparation of Iron
that causes no injurious ef
fects. Get the genuine.
Don't be imposed on with
imitations.
