Ait Unfortunate Difficulty.
A difficulty occurred at the de
. pot here list Wednesday morning
i between Mr Waller ilough andMr
Wm Sowell, in which both young
men were painfully injurod,the for
uier being shot and the latter be,
ing cut in the arm and shot in the
leg. Mr. Hough's wound, which
probably entered the lung, it was
first feared would prove fatal but
I he was doing so well the following
morning that it was thought no
risk to move him to his father's
home at Kershaw from Mr. L?. 8.
Elliott's where ho was taken im1
mediately after the difficulty. Mr.
Sowoll's wounds consisted of a
' knife wound in the arm and a
pistol shot wound in tho leg, the
latter being made by Mr. Sowell
himself wbilo Mr. < Hongh had
grabbed the pistol and the two
were in a scuffle over it. It was a
' very unfortunate affair and is
i much deplored, The two young
men are first cousins. Both are
getting aloDg very well.

3 The exercises were most appropri3
ate and the program very intert
esting.
r At 10 o'clock the town and
t mill schools, numbering ahout
I 400, were marched to the campus
e where six beautiful young water
6 oaks wero planted by scholars of
L the more advanced grades, beigg,
n named by them for the trustees;
8 one, furnished by HazebFergusoU'
d and James Taylor, being named
t by the school for the orator Of the
0 day, Rev. W G Neville. The 5th
" grade furnished two trees naming
8 them for Col Leroy Springs and
? WT Gregory; the 6th- named
- their tiee for O T Connors;the 7th
? for T 8 Carter, and the 9th for W
f J Cunningham.
0 After the planting of the tfees
n the regular program waa carried
I' out in the school chapel. It consisted
of appropriate songs, reo-j
V itations, and an essay by one of
the pupils, Mr. Dan Laney, off
the Trees of South Carolina. - It
waa well written and thoughtfulf
treating on kinds,beauty and vhlu&
1 of our trees.
e" These exercises being concluded,
Rev. Dr. W. G. Neville,

* College of Clinton, the orator of
^ the day, waa introduced, and made
e' a most excellent address, his subi?
. . . . - -
~~ ject being tbe groat importance oi
observing Arbor Day as a lesson
to the rising generation. Dt.
ps Neville gave his observations durae
ing his recent stay of several
Id months in Europe of what had
deen done along the line of grow
ing an?].preserving trees therein
recont years. We should plant
trees, care for aud preserve trees
for their beuuty, for the comfort
tbey afford us and for their utility.
Dr. Boldridge also rnado a few
remarks on the subject. The ^
hundred er mere persons present, g
in addition to the 400 school children,
all enjoyed the occasion to
the fullest. Arbor Day in future
promises to be with us a big occasion.
Much credit is due Prof.
Banks and bis corps of teachers,
who heartily co operated with him
and to Miss Stewart, who was in
4
charge of the music, for the buc- ]
cess and enjoyment of the oc- j
casion. '

Kershaw Era.
I
j During the summer of 1842 at
a protracted meeting hold under
i brash arbor near hanging rook (
church, two young men were con- ,
verted and joined tbe Methodist ,
church. They were brothers.
The younger of the two, Rev. A.
J. Cauthen, was admitted into
the S. C. Conference in 1848 and
served his church faithfully as (
preacher in charge and presiding ;
;elder,for fifty five years. A few :
months ago he entered into rest.
The older brother, Bro. Thos. J.
(jautbeD, served his church no less
faithfully. He was instrunmestal
in the establishment of a preaching
place at Damascus; and when
the converts thus gathered were
organized into a society, Uncle
Tommie became the leader. This
: chureh was always very dear to
him and the present prosperous
i church is a living monument to
j bis untiring zeal and unstinted liberality.
The years added
to the richness of his experience
of saving grace and with his last
breath he testified of the love of
Christ. Like a shock of ripe corn
he was gathered the into heavenly
home , lasl Friday night. We
laid his weary body to rest in
Qod's acre at Damascus Saturday
afternoon. ?R. E. Turnipseed
