The Third Victim of the Cheraw Tragedy. Special to thc Register. CnEBAtv, S. C., Jone 3.-Mr. Ja Coward, "who wasshot by the late V Boggan Cash, died to day at his mot! era residente in Marlboro Count; The deceased had been removed Iroi bis brother's house ia thia town a fe' rveeks after the fatal shooting, an after lingering three months, passe quietly away. The Coroner of Marl ' boro waa noli ned of tue fact today and ?Mintiese the necessary prelimi naries were transacted. Your readers will remember tha the pistol ball wound from whicl poor Coward died, was received 01 the evening of tue 23rd of Februar last. The ball entered just belov the collar bone of the left side, an< was extracted in contact on the righ of the vertebral column, about th second or third dorsal vertebra . There was no evidence of hemorrh^g? and be. did not suffer from a cough The orifice of entrance and exit heal ed perfectly in a few weeks. H< had from the moment he receivet the wound complete paralysis of th< lower extremities, involving the blad .der and bowels. He neither had de sire or control over* these outlets Mia bed sored were unusually large and were not always the result ol pressure. The left hip joint was disarticulated by a bed sore in that locality. His digestion was good up tb a week or two ago. Early in his case he had high fevers, bot they subsided yery much. His pulse vari ed from 100 to 120 most of the time. The loss of desire and control over the excretions was regarded by his physicians as evidence of cerebral ' severance. He mast have died from pj amie fever, occasioned by absorp tion of pus from bed sores. His re mains will be interred in the family burying ground at New Hope Church, in Marlboro, *o morrow at ll o'clock, . and many citizens and friends from Cheraw will attend. LEO. ?eouee'i Biff Families. From the Keovxc (& C.) Courier, May 29. Near Seneca City, in thia Couuty, there lives one cf the largest families in the United States. . Mr. Joel L. Vaughn has been married four times. His last three wives were widowst all of whom had children by previous husbands, respectively, eight, seven and four, a total of nineteen. These four wives bore Mr. Vaughn twenty seven children, which, added to the nineteen step children, gave Mr. Vaughn control of forty-six children. Tnere are thus seven different sets of children. The old man is now eighty years of age, and his youngest child . is an infant. . The family of Mr. Jod L. Phillips, of our County, has a remarkable re cord; He has been married twice, having born to him by bis first wife twelve children and by his second nine. He now has living eighteen children, the youngest bot three months old and the oldest forty-three years old, and has in all about eighty, five lineal descendant? living. He has lived on the same place forty-four ? years and all his children were born there. The whole eighty-five lineal descendants live within twenty miles of the paternal home and are doing 1 well. Mr. Phillips ia sixty-seven ' yean old. Scch ? large family, kept 30 near together, for eo great a length of time, seldom happens in thia life. Can a Drunkard be Forgiven I A Klee Point or t burc h Law Raised 3 lu Georgia. . . CAMILLA, GA., Maj 29.-The Beth any Baptist Church is in danger of getting into trouble. Very recently the church has excluded two of its members upon the charge of drunk enness. One of these members after being accused appeared before the church and made a foll confession of his guilt. He expressed his sorrow and begged forgiveness at the'bands of the church. Some mern era of the church took the position that under the law as set forth in the filth chap ter of Fust Corinthians, the church had no discretion only in deciding when a member was a drunkard, and that when he was a drunkard the ahurch was bound by the law to "Put fcway from among y uraelves that wicked person." The penitent mem ber having several times before been charged with the same clfense ind ceing thought to be a drunkard, Was apon motion exciuded from the church Since that action another member has been drunk, and came before the shurch in conference and acknowl edged his sin and begged forgiveness. When the motion was made to for give him speeches were made by two rf the members against the motion to forgive, they contending that the pre c?dent previously set as well as the law of Christ forbade such action. When the vote was put six voted to forgive and two against it. The de jorum of the church requires a unan ?mons vote when fellowship is in volved, and the two members voting in the negative refused to yield and a motion to defer the matter prevail ed. There is some anxiety, to know bow the case will terminate. The discussion of the status of drinkirg in the church hus supplanted politics, ind men who never wvre seen with n church doors are quite as argu mentative as if they had bee? dea jone all their lives. Burying a Dead Queen's Clothing aud Jewelry. \ Ho ii ti rc Made of ber Wagon--92,000 Worth ot Property Destroyed. NEWARK, N. J., June 3.-An unu raa) ecene occurred at Eiinora, near Weet Eliznbeth, last night, over tW ?rave of the late Gyp6y Queen. The nnd, numbering about fifty, per formed their peculiar rites through >ut the day. In the morning a ser /ice was held in the camp? at which monotonous dirges were sung, while ;he worldiy goods of the djad Queen were being collected and arranged for burial. Tnese were piled in the ;entre of the camp, and around them .he gypsies crouched while the low toned singing and moaning continued. At a ?ignal irom Mr Lovel!, the hua? band ol the late Q.ueen, the party gathered up the goods and followed him a short distance from the camp where men set to work at once to dig & hole Baverai feet deep. Around this hole the band collected will, beads uncovered and in silence while ill the property of the Queen wa? iepoeiled in it. The goods included handecme silkB ind costly lacee, as well as jewelry [hat is ^id to be quite valuable. Shovelers threw the dirt back into the hole and the earth w?s caiefully trodden down. Each man, woman and child in the band assisted in the ta?<k. They were dressed in many brilliant colored ccstumes, and when they were treading and stamping around the place of the buried treas urea, they appeared as if engaged in a strange fantastic dance. Back to the camp the gypsies went and the strange eervicea were continued, no attention whatever being paid to the many curious. Th6 large wagon in which the Queen had slept for many years was surrounded by the band, and as they moved slowly around it the same singing in a monotone was kept up. Shortly after dark a pile of shav ings and paper was placed under the wagon and pet on fire. While the old carriage, which was valued at $450, was'burning the band moved around and around it, occasionally a man would stop to push a stray burn ing piece of the vehicle back into the fire. Hundreds'oi people stood near while these strange rites were being performed, and aa the light from the burning wagon fell upon the bronzed faces of the band and lighted up the brilliant costumes they wore, and cast strange fantastic shadows from the moving people and neighboring trees, the scene mas weird in the ex treme. The property destroyed and buried is said to have been valued at $2,000. Senator Hampton never said he would not support Tilden if nomina ted for President. We didn't thiiik he said eo, from the first. The Sent? tor will do as all other good Demo crata will do-support the nominee, j There is something heroic in silent suffering. Though aman with a lay er of active and energetic mustard on hie chest rarely thinks of this. Hochland Courier, Prohibition and Prohibition. Bob Burdette Bays: "Don't bi fanatic. Don't bi a prohibition lunatic. Just simply don't drink. I the whiskey in America can't ma you drunk if you don't drink any it." This is a spicy and pungent w to put it, but we may use the arg mcnium ad?vominem withoutassumii that our opponent is either a fanal or a lunatic. We prefer to say th he is au enthusiast, an emotion crusader, and led astray by over 7, et which Talleyrand considered the pr vocation of much evil. The best a gument against the prohibition ?di is that it partakes of the Puritan pr< paganda, which beginB at one form repression but may embrace all forn bet?re it is done. As a general prop< cition, there is no more reason why man should be legislated out of ii temperance in drinking than glutton in ealing ; and there are no tyrant under the sun equal to those who s in judgment upon their fellow me whose appetites and ideas differ froi their own. The pestilent Puritan ic termeddlingin other people's businesi under forms of law, is at the root all the isms, and it has been the prc jifjc disturber of the whole Union. I purposes to make war on the Mor mons, but bridles up when Gov B.own unmasks the whole hypocrisy and bids the purification begin a home. The prohibitionists are wei meaning, but they are. engaged in s movement that assails personal free dom in a vital point. Intemperate use of wine, beer and alcoholic spirit* generally is a great sin and a con fessed evil ; but it should be reached by the same methods that all like ?ns or evils are reached. To compel one man to abstain from the moderate ase of beer or wine, by legal enact ment, just because another man gets drunk and " plays the devil," ia ab surd, unjust and foolish. The late Doctor Ward, of Baltimore, told ns once that in bis extensive practbe, more people dieeased or killed them Belves by overfeeding than by over drinking. Many hygienic writers insist that it is the abuse of the stomach by improper food that leads to drunkenness. Why should not the reformers, therefore, go to the marrow of this matter and begin by prohibit ing the cause of all the woe that so dreadfully excites them? We well remember that when it was proposed to institute 'Dq>jirieo aw io-Ujc Jiqnnk trt.ffic and its results, the prohibition ists voted down Senator Bayard's amendment to include opium, mor phine, and other drugs that have made such fearful progrees in States where liquor drinking had been made Lt ree legal war upon. Sauce for the goose was not sance for the gander. Why how easy is it to argue for prohibiting almost any thing ordinarily lawful by cunningly proving the abuse of it. Upon that principle Mrs. Stowe acted when writing " Un cle Tom's Cabin." What calamities befell the country iu consequence the world knows, and the end of them is not yet. The marriage relation could be brought into odium by just such unfair treatment, and newspaper scraps by the crate could be produced to make out an abomination what is really a saving and wholesome, as well as divine, institution. Why, here is a pamphlet on tea-drinking that follows the prohibition method and 6tyle of reasoning, The writer Bays that " tea is a medicine," and therefore should not be taken unless prescribed by an honest doctor. An other argument is that Greece and Rome became great without tea. The writer declares that next to grief tea is the worst thing for the teeth. Dys pepsia, sick headache, heart disease, palsy, epilepsy, spasms, numbness in the back of the head, fullness in the chest, syncope, coldness in the back of the head, vertigo, and " formica of the scalp," described as a "sensa tion as ii ants were creeping in it," are some of its results. Scrofula comes from it too, not directly but by in heritance. Children, whose grand fathers and grandmothers were tea drinkers, are poor and scrofulous. Woret of all, the writer says that tea drinking leads to alcoholic drunk enness. Weare also told that tea-drink ing does more to demoralize church wo k than anything elee. We quote : Is it net passing strange that a Christian community, which with every possible exertion can scarcely be aroused to give $299,000 a year for the conversion of the world, will spend forty times that sum for tea ? Is not the influence, then, of tea drinking demoralizing ? It may not be well to appeal too frequently to the Christian professions and Christian principles of the tea drinker, for in a few instances he may disclaim them. Generally speak ing, however, tea-drinkers profees a belief in Christianity. If we are to take thie writer's state ments for facts, it would seem that the worthy clergymen, who concen trate their efforts upon prohibiting wine, beer, whiskey and the like, had better commence experimentally upon tea-drinkers-especially, as the au thor of the phamphlet maintains, since' the majority . people are ravaging their . ?, .lorals and prosperity by imbioing a frightful compound, that it is not tea at all, bat a Chinese or Japanese adulterated i concoction that menaces Christianity itself: We are aa much in favor of tem perance as any set of men, but prefer :he practical to the.visionary, liberty. :o slavery, a generous toleration rather than Puritan nltraism. High licenee in Illinois is better than pro hibition in Maine, We are told, for sample, that the new license law in Chicago has wiped ont nearly 500 vhiakey shops, to begin with, and bas ilready put $531,050 in the city ;reaaury; it ia' believed that the rear's income from license fees will each at least $1,200,000. It is stated ta a noticeable fact that three-fourths >f the licenses thus far taken out are )f the three months kind ; the saloon ceepers want to see how business is .hie summer. We respectfully ask that a discrimi tating restraint be essayed before pro libition is sweepingly permitted. It nay be also in order to ask that those rho are so eager to reform others by umptuary lawB -hould examine their learts and see if the rule they lay town for ene class cf citizens should tot be applied to themselves, in otha: particulars. b ? i tl it w rt A Pitiful Story. On Wednesday last a 0 year old J, aoghter of James Douglas, a farmer vingin Wayne county, Pennsylva ia, died after a few days' illness nth whooping cough. The next day second and only surviving child, ged 3, died from the disease. The mother of the children was ill in bed tn ?hen the children died. Tho newsje( f the death of the first made her Lj rantic with grief, and it required the! trength of two men to hold her ed. She finally became calm, and j ^ ?arned of the death of the second ?1 hild with apparent composure. Thej^ ttle ones were prepared for burial, nd laid sids by side in the parlor, 'be night before the funeral the lath r of the children left his wife's bed ide and lay down to rest.
