We learn that on last Friday, Johnnie, the son of Mr. Luther Powell, met with a serious and unusual accident. While engaged in washing the large plate glass windows of D. W. Shealy & Co., at Leesville, the ladder upon which he was standing in some manner slipped and Johnnie lost his balance and was Y precipitated through the glass. His flesh was fearfully lacerated, the large poptiteal artery was severed and the little fellow came near bleeding to death before medical assistance arrived. In falling his head struck a stone upon the pavement and at last accounts, it was feared that there may have been a concussion of the brain and it is said that one of his legs is so badly gashed that it may have to be amputated. i - ?Doctors Say; Bilious and Intermittent Fevers which prevail in miasmatic districts are invariably accompanied bv derangements of the ~ J o Stomach Liver and Bowels. 1 The Secret of Health.

Conservative estimate places the number at 2000 persons who came mostly from Lexington, Newberry and Saluda counties. An interesting program had been previously arranged and fully carried out. The social feature of the occasion was enjoyed by all. We have not received an account of the proceedings and when we do they will be published with pleasure. The college, in whose interest tbese annual re-unions are hc-ld, is well worthy the support and confidence of our people. lis President, Mr. George B.

Mr. Sharpe was followed by Mr. Wightman of Saluda, after which adjourni mvnt till after dinner, when Messrs. j Stokes and Brautly were heard on the ! burning issues of the day. Politics is very quiet with us, not : having a single aspiraut in onr com : munity for anything we are in a poj sitiou to judge calmly of the merits f of tbose seeking the various cfliee?, I and our people will vote for the best men without regard to persons or expected favors. We are having a tent meeting here in the interest of the Advent denomination. The preaching is by Rev. J. A. Cargile of Alabama. Rev.

Wilkins has been absent recently to Williston, Richland and j Salem laboring in the vineyard of the | Lord. A protracted meeting will begin in tbe Baptist church here on the 4th Sunday in this month. Our community was shocked last Saturday night week at the death on the railroad track of old man Wm. Corley, an aged an exemplary colored man who was formerly of your vil lage. He walked on the track in front of the train, doubtless not seeing it, and was horribly mangled by the wheels and trucks of the engine and cars. A small child of Tilda Hendrix, colored, fell in a well at the pump pond and was drowned recently, at this place. Capt. Geo. A. Wegener, President of the Carolina Midland railroad has been in town looking for a depot and terminal Bite for Lis road.

This has certainly beeu a remarkable seasm fur barbecues. Not a I week has past recently, but what there has been one or more of these delightful occasions. So prevalent is the barbecue fever that there i9 much grunting among the hogs and blatiDg of sheep at the tremendous slaughter of their friends and kinsfolk and it is seriously contemplated holding a convention of the swine and sheep of the county to protest against the killing and roasting of so many of their number. The one held at Mr. John Sox's, last Saturday was largely attended by the people of the vicinity, many going from this place. Only two county candidates were present, being Messrs. WT. D. Dent, candidate for County Superintendent of Edu cation and Maj. J. H. Koon, candidate for Magistrate for Brookland township. Both addressed the people telling their claims for office. Maj. Barney Evans, candidate for Railroad Commissioner was also present and made a good address. The meats at this 1cue were well cooked and seasoned and were enjoyed by all. The one at Killian Price's was the event of the week. To this one the weary pilgrims on the road to office wended their vmy in search of votes and the aggregation was quite large. The neighborhood and people from a distance attended in numbers and the, candidates were overjoyed at the opportunity of meeting so many of the "dear people" and made good use of the day in advancing their claims. Among those to be given this week will be one at Leesville, on campaign day, August 10th by P. D. Ilarman and W. T. Johns.

The candidates are promised a glorious old fourth of July time and they will whoop up their interest to the best of their ability. A lot of fun is mapped out for them. There will be hot times in Swansea on next Saturday, August 13ih aud Messrs. Lybrand and Koon are the boys who will make it so. They will roast sheep and pigs to feed the multitude and the candidates will shine in all their glory and the prep aration for the battle of ballots will be lively and quite interesting. Midway School House will put on its holiday apparel on Saturday, August 13tb, and the handsome face of Justus WiDgard will be wreathed in smiles as he receives his guests on that day. Many young and old people from this place intend going out to enjoy the excellent barbecue dinner which will be served on that occasion, and those who love to shake their feet to the time of the sweet strains of charming and entrancing music will be given an opportunity to enjoy themselves to their hearts content. D. Lee and H. H. Harman are preparing to have a big time at their barbecue, which will be given on Saturday, August 20th, at the residence of D. Job Harman, one mile north of Peter's church and about four miles north of this place. Messrs. Stokes and Brantley, candidates for Congress, together with other candidates are expected to be present and make addresses. Music and dancing will be among the lead ing features and all who bttend are promised a splendid dinner at moderate prices and a very enjoyable day. The Poor Man's Friend. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Your issue of August 3d, contains some "powerful" interesting reading. First allow rne to extend my hand across Saluda river and give you a passing ihake only, for I am bound for that "wild cat country"' in search of a rare specimen of humanity whose paw I wish to take for a long and loving shake?though he is long, lank and lean, there is nothing about him that is mean?he is the tall sycamore of the dark Edisto. J. Feasfer Lyles (I desire to let you know) with a face wreathed in smiles, is ''John Anderson iuv Joe. A word from the heait and a blow from the shoulder in our behalf is appreciated and will not pass unrewarded. We of the Fork on the subject of free bridge or free ferries are "sawing wood and saying nothing,"' but our saw does not sound so loud that wp cannot hear. We have been looking and li-t<niug so long for the south wind to waft us a friendly message, that we have become a community of alert lookers and listeners, so that no signal or sound from that direction passes us unseen or unheard. Jf ever we get { free ferries the south side must give : them to us. We wiil wait as patiently as possible this exhibition of your brotherly kindness. And now that I have lost the curb chain aud loosened the check rein to ' my pen and she has struck the down orrmin T don't know where I'll 4,fefch h* " up." In passing I may cbucklo ycu under the chin just to see you grin; smite Brother Jonc-8 on the one cheek to test his Christianity; speak a good word for my friend Stokes, and let other people alone lest I become a busybody in other news matters. Brother C L. Jones may not be ' given to "raudom fits o' dafiD," as | Bob Burns calls "a iark", with a "wee drap o' the critter" along for company, but he is certainly, if not a random rover, a reckless rattling 'riter, who does not hesitate to put all those who do not vote for his friend Featherstone directly into the "bell bole, using tbe uevu uimsen j for a stopper, aDtl yet you 8ay, Mr. Editor, that Brother Jones "does not po far enough!" Why, how far would you have our dear brother go? Don't you see be has gone "cl'ar beyant"? Then why egg tbe poor man on to a further display of uncbariiableness? Better join me in trying to put a blind bridle on the fellow and back him into an exhibition of some of the minor characteristics of Christianity: "As you would that men should do to you do you even so to them," "Love thy neighbor as thyself;" "That mercy I to others show that mercy show to me." Yes, Josh, you are right, the success of prohibition would be a fat thing for the doctors and druggists, and some people think they manage to get their share as it is. "The dispensary is tbe best solution of the liquor question" ?right agaio! Say it again! Give us more like that! "Lay on McDuff!' etc. But where does Stokes come in? Well, he is like the old darky's fish traps?he catches them gwine an' cummin'. You can just travel for miles and miles in Dutch Fork and find nothing but Stokites. Dutch Forkers hold on to a good thing ; when they get it, and that is why [ they are going to keep right on voting for their friend Stokep, whom they have tried and found true. An j Englishman considers himself very fortuu&te when he is found at court; . and so the poor laborers, especially , the faimersof the Seventh District, are very fortunate and to be congratulated in having a friend in Congress.. Mr. Cal Caughman, Chairman of ceremonies at Kleckly's barbecue, bit the nail on the bead wheu he introduced'Dr. Stokes as the man who had allowed do opportunity to pa98 without improving it to the interest of every man who has his dollar to earn by the sweat of his brow. Emphatically Stokes is the laboring man's fiiend. I recently met a farmer from Dorchester county and he said it was "solid for Stokes down there. I heard a Conservative say lhat he Lad a brother in "Washington who assured him that Dr. Stokes stauds at the head of the South Carolina delegation in the House of Representatives. I am glad that "peace and unity1' means merit is to win in , thi3 case, and Conservatives are joining Reformers in voting for Stokes, knowing that his election means "a survival of the fitest." Let it be understood tbat I see things through a farmer's spectacles. J. L. Shuler. Hon. J. J. McMahan. A Eriend Pays Very High Tribute to Him?His Good Qualities. Angnstu Evening Heru'.d One of the candidates for State Superintendent of Education in South Cirolina is John J. McMahan, of Columbia. Mr. McMahan is a youDg man perhaps not 35 years old, but he has had a great deal of experi ence. He is a graduate of the South , Cirolina college, has held the posi- i tion of assistant professor of English in that institution for a number of ' years, was a prominent member of the constitutional convention, is an able and conscientious lawyer, a ' brave, fairminded, intelligent man, of whom all South Carolina may well feel proud. As a lawyer Mr. McMahan has , never neglected an opportunity to befriend the poor and distressed. About a vear aco. an operative in ' W *7 ' m. I the L cotton mill, on account of Rome disagreement, decided to quit his employment. Having decided to remove, he placed his scant furniture and household goods in the depot for shipment. The mill people not I only refused to pay hiin what wages were due, but also seized his furni- ' tare in the depot and held it on the belief that their former employee was guilty of a breach of contract. I do not doubt that 1 hey believed in the , honesty of their intention, and it is not desired to cast auy reflection upon them. It was simply an error of judgment. The man was poor and friendless. No lawyer in the town would take his case, especially as he had no money with which to pay his fee. IIo then went to Columbia and consulted John J. McMahan. This brainy and big-hearted young lawyer unhesitatingly accepted his case, although the fee was contingent and the expense of bringing suit considerable. In accepting the case, he did not ask, is it popular? The question uppermost in his mind was. is it right? And having decided /?.1 in f hn nAirmofivA lift liJUt l|UCi5l 1UII iu IUV UIIUUJMUIVJ MW set to woik and, by bis learning and eloquence, be secured a verdict in favor of bis client, who was awarded considerable damages. A friend of the poor, Ibe distressed and the needy?educated, courteous a id n fined?no braver, nobler man could be elected to tbe bigb office to which be aspires. South Cirolina may well feel proud of John J. McMaban, who, in common with his State, subscribes to thut lofty motto: "Pum spiro spero." John Allen Mette. Trenton, S. C., July, 1808.
