Yt. was killed by lightning as . she lay in bed beside him while he was in nowise injured. According to Dr. .MoGlynn shoel is a state and not a place. There are doubtless a good many people who will derive consolation of this view of the place of fatnre punishment. There is a movement in new York to unite the Labor. and Temperance parties. In eyery day life there is no better or stronger coalition. How it o . will work io politics it remains to be 836D. Mrs. Langtry's mother has gone to England to see what can be done toward getting Mr. Langfcry oot of the way in order that Mr. Freddy Gebhardfe may become known as MrS. Langtry's hosband. A noble ambition is that of Mr. Gebhardt The importance of votiDg the Democratic ticket- straight -may be Been in the present situation in California. The Democratic Governor of that State stricken with paralysis, is likely to die, to be Rncceeded in the Gubernatorial ch$ic -by the Republican Lieutenant Governor. A few days since the two children aged five and eight years, of Mrs. KisselJ, of Silver Springs, Pa.,- come into the house and informed their mother that th?y had killed a rattle snake. She went in the yard and fonnd they had killed one with ten rattles.

It looks as if the United labor j party in New York is to be an z\nex to the Republican party. It -has selected a Republican commissioner to name their election inspedpr.

Last month William Thomas, colored, was brought before Trial Justice Sitton at Dae West, charged with stealing watermelons. He plead guilty and consented to take a whipping instead of the punishment prescribed by law. It is said the Trial Justice allowed him to be whipped.?ilarlboro Chronicle. [There are several boys now in onr jail under same charge. They sboald have been ? treated to decent floggiDgs and turned loose. The watermelon act passed by the last Legislature is a humbug, and burdensome on taxpayers.] It is not probable that the proposed American party will becom as great a power in politics as some of its promoters appear to think. There are doubtless a great many people in different parts of the country who ! aTe opposed to permitting foreign born citizens to exercise as much influence in political affairs as they do, bnt the number that is ready to join a new pumicaj ur^auiz-aiiuu, whose object is to antagonize citizens of that class, is hardly great enough ! to make such an organization for- j midable. Those who remember the ! old Know Nothing party, whose cry J was "America for Americans," - and > . who recall the history of that organization will hardly view with favor any similar organizations. The New York Times says: "In ad dition to having the biggest cotton crop this year that ever has been, the South will have the farther ady&ntage cf beiDg nearer out of debt than at any'time since the W3r.Records show that not only was there a general arrd big reduction of raort gages on farm lands all over the Soath last year, but Southern busibasiness men, lately in New York, say that their farmers have been able to make this crop without having to worry over anything like the ordinary j Deeds for 'advances.' Millions cf dollars of cash will be ready for invest- I inemt by Southerners just as soon as this cotton crop is marketed." There is ao doubt that the South is better off ia all respects than it has been at any other time since the war. Prosperity has ceased to be spasmodic, *ad has become steady. t WASHINGTON LETTER. [From Oar licgulur Correspondent.] August 2Gih, 1S87. Iuvitations to visit different cities and towns have so accumulated upon the hands of President Cleveland that it really has become necessary to employ additional clerical force on this account alone. Had the tempestuous Tuttle been able to forsee results of his blatant utterings, he sorely would have desisted, and sueb popular tributes, would perhaps never have been paid the Chief Magistrate of the nation. But, in the wise dispensation of Providence, even little insignificant creatures like Tuttle often mysteriously rise up and do good without knowing how or why. Then, I say, all hail Tuttle! His grateful country, especially the and Southern sections, 1 ? VV 4 W ? should arise and calf bim blessed for his instrumentality in a rousing the President to the importance of making' the first extensive tour of his Administration. As I reflect on the' projected visit of Mr. Cleveland, I'trust you will pardon me for taking a restropective view of the travels of our earlier President. Mr. Monroe, was the first of them to carry ^ut the idea of a trip of this kind .traveling in his coach throogh New England apd as far westward as Ohio, and being every "where cordially -received; and for his time it was quite a tedious undertaking. President Jackson traveled by carriage all the way from the Tennessee to the Capital, and later in the same conveyance, made a tour of New England, which to the surprise of his political oponents, who snppose it was an' element of weakness, was a continuous ovation, add- ' ing greatly to his popularity. The building of railroads seems to ' have had the singular effect of dam- 1 pening the traveling ardor of the Presidents, .so, that most of the Executives, down to the days of John-, son ?nd Grant, were confirmed stay- * at-homes, bat, the two latter, as is well known, made the most of their ' opportunities and facilities of travel. 1 These are dull days, politically, * offically, and socially, at the Capital; < the President, seeking relief from the oppressive temperature of the ' dog-days, withdraws himself to the solitary shadows of Oak View where ^ his wife has just returned. With the ( exception of secretaries Bayard and Fainhild, all of the Cabinet are on * vacaion?likewise the Justices of the .( Supreae Court and others equally * promioDt io social and political life. * Deava though, is not idle; it has fellfijjip^ant of the world of science in the 0f Professor Spencer F. of science.

The amount of' tmda-dollars re! deemed to date is about $7^00,000; ; the time expires by limitation on j September 3rd, and it i^ supposed j most of their coin is ,^ow in the i : m I | Treasury vaults; there is some excess over the amountcsticoated to be out, which is accocu/ed for by importation from ftreign countries. This week* the Tieasury paid out sixteen and a quar.er millions for pensions, but notwithstanding this heavyt dis; bursemant the excess of Gpyernment receipts over expenditures this month j is About three and a half million I dollars. i The tall sycamore of the Wabash ; is, flourishing his Senatorial toma; hawk for a Mugwump Scalp no less | a person than United States Treasu! rer Hyatt, the cause of the latter's : refasal to remove one of his favorite ! $2,500 clerks who is an offensive ! Republican partisan from Indiana. It is said to be the declared purpose j of Senator Voorbees, together^ with | his Democratic associates on the Finance Committee, Messrs. Beck and Vance, to use all means in their power to defeat Treasures Hyatt's confirmation. ' ?There was a great sensation in the Pension Office, a day or. two since, caused by the arrest of a clerk named Richard Brnnner, for stealing the records of that office for the benefit of a prominent claim Attorney of this UiC_y.

Kister'e barbecue on Saturday, 13th instant. As barbecues are so frequent in Lexingtou Fork, we did not expect to see so many people, bot they, knowing that Mr. S. D. Rister never fails in giving first-class barbecues, took special Dotice of the appointed day in his advertisement. The people in civic dress came in from every point of the compass until they numbered about three hundred. Only a few minutes had elapsed till arrangements were made for the dance, in which quite a number of our young ladies, bjonds and brunettes, the most beautiful and aDgelic the world affords with a lot of gentlemanly young men. Music was furnished by Mess. Counts and Hill. Tb'i's enjoyment, with other amusement, continued for some time. Dinner being announced, the crowd assembled at quite a long table filled with-all,the snbstantials and sweets imaginable. Pork in every style offered an appetizing proloque, succeeded by mutton. The choicest foreign pickles were assorted for each guest. It wodjTd exceed my.power to detail the delicacies proffered. The planters .of this section have excellent crops. Messrs Willie A. Bandrick and D. Frank Chapman each sold last week a bale of col top. Owing to the prevalence of measles the Mt. Tabor High School has been stopped; cpnsequently the closing exercises are put off indefinitely. We are glad to learn that Mr. Willie Counts, a recent graduate of Newberry College, has opened school at Spring Hill. We wish him success. Rev. J. A. Sligh will preach the commencement sermon of the Mitchall High School pn the fourth Sanday in September at eleven o'clock a. m. rhe closing exercises of this school will continue till the following Thursday, the 29th. On that day there win De speecnes delivered oo education by some distinguished speaker of the State. Everybody is invited and i fall attendance is expected. An excellent lecture was given by Dr. J. W. Eargle on the circulation of the* Dlood of his pupils in physiology. The doctor knows how to gain the :ull confidence and attention of his jlass. We are glad to note that Messrs. 3r. A. Lucas and E. A. Leaird have completed their academic coarse at ;he Citadel. We predict a brilliant iiture for them. . v J. D.' R. Aug. 20th. Batesburg Items.

Mr. Rufas Sh6aly sold the first* bale of cotton this season, it was bought by E. Jones for 8| cents. Quite a large number of visitors are still in town enjoying the healthy and invigorating an of the place. The "boom" has at last struck our town. Several stores will soon be in course of erection in the most business part of the town, also a number of dwellings will soon be built, and altogether the signs of the times point to the prosperity and enlargement of our pretty town. Mr. Ed. H. B*itf, of the firm of Ford, Talley & Co., of Columbia, large cotton buyers, will be in town next week, and he promises to make this place one of the best cotton markets on the line of railroad. Mr. Mose Gunter will begin the erection of the steeple for the Baptist church at once, already the ladies of the church have enough money for the purchase of the bell. E. J. J. "Putting Himself Eight." I have been accused by spme of working altogether for self, in trying to get up the free ferry. This is wrong. My trade from Lexington is large and ,of the very best people, and will do to depend on, many oi tnem will drive a mile onfc of the way to trade with me, and men who do not "skin a flee for its hide and tallow." It is true I am making money; I don't deny it, bat how ? From my large sales and small profit system, being satisfied with 5 per cent, on my goods, hence I turn over from $100 to $200 every day, doing all my work myself, and having only one price and one set of scales for everybody, none of my customers ask me to take less for my goods than I ask for them. I believe I sell more tobacco than any other house in Colombia. My friends are those who trade with me, and I am under obligations to do something for them, and what better thing can I do than get up a free ferry to our market. BsspectSully, P. J. Pucker. Mr. D.
