La^t Tuesday night about 8 o'clock the new cotton factory dam broke at I ho flood gates near Green's bridge. About 75 yards of the dam is washed away. The bridge below ihe dam on the pub lic road is ?lso washed away, there by cutting of)' travel entirely on that road. The cost to repair the damage is variously estimated at from $5,000 to $15,000. It is the purpose of the factory company to repair the dam sit once, but it will nece?sarily compel a delay of two or three months, , Lynched* * Tom Price, colored, was lynched near VVcstville on last Sunday, Pi ice -was from Rock Hill and had just completed a scrrfcaj^ee in the Peoiti ntiary and was oii Tmi wav back home. When near Westville he attacked with criminal interest a sixteen yerr old daughter of Mr. Wm. A.Ibnfleld. The young lad}', accompanied by her little brother, was on her way to her uncle's, about a mile distant, and after fol lowing them in a foot, path for some distance in the woods lie drew a pistol and deliberately shot the little boy through the breast inflicting a dangerous wound in tending to kill him and outrage the young l'?dy, tint she fl?>d and gave the alarm. The negro -beo.vre frightened and ran but he was hot ly pursued by a crowd and was caught a few mil.es above Camden He was ennied buck and identified by the children.

In studying the sit uation with reference to Kershaw"*! vacant place in the Senate and Mr. Klrklands prohahle successor we think this nn opportune time to re turn the Hon. .lames H. Mugill to his former seat in the upper v? branch of the State's Legislature. We are evidently near a tysisis in % political alfairs and theS ate needs the sound judgement and log'cai reasoning powers of her best sons.

This question however, will he settled before the election, for lie may count on being intei ro tated on tins point on the veiy liist slump lie hops upon. Mr. West also has ma iv friends in this "cum mindly, and if nil his kin folks vote for him, lie is sure to lie elect ed. Mr. Ktlly will also make a good run id this com in unity. Mr. Tranlham is su.-e to get 90 per eent of the votes in this s etion for Congress, and as for the L'-gis lalure, it is though that Col. Floyd will head the ticket. Mr. Wii.klir has made u '? enemies among the voters of this section, but Air. Be ill une will bo sure to gel, a liberal share of patronage frofti the voters ?ind Mr. T.

The race for supervisor will be between M". Phelps and Mr. O. W. McCaskill. Mr. Phtlps has given iininent satisfaction to the voters of this communitv and most, people think he is entitled to anoMier term. M r. AlcCaskill also has warm fiiends up here, but ow ing to the dilTi-renee between the circumstances of the two, togclhei witii the fact that nothing can be brought tij) against, Mr. Phelps, ii is possible that Mr. Phelps will oui run I im, even if he did leave one of his legs en the buttle lie d of Virginia. Mr. L. L. Co pel and will.mr.ke a clean sweep forSch >ol Commission or in this set tir n. The people say that Johnii Diakeforcl will have a nice "walk nvdz'JU to the "A u.li t or's oMice, w 1 1 1 1 ?

Well that is no more than we expected of him. Rut if lie will many and invite ma to his wedding I w.ill v? te foi him store's you bom. I don't hear niiifdi ah nil the Republican candidates ? the people regard them like Old II.nr\ Snider said about the devil?as not wort h a notice. A negro and a white man were running for an tdllee onee ? both Republicans ? and the white man was allowed to speak first. lie nd Iresf-ed his negio constituency thus: "My fillow ciiix?ns: ? Yt?u never saw a perfect man in \our life. I believe I would be a peif??ct man if i only had been born black, I have a white skin it is iy(e gen tlemen, but I thank Qod>fi?l I have as blin k a heart as aujr'of you." The negro followed and said : "Gentle men, I never mind seeing a nigger try to be tf white man, but I despitie to see a whitfe-tftan be a nigger." Tiio negro was elected. If I were living in t(i4 State of Ohio, and a son of John Sherman or Wm. Me Kinly, or. living jn Maine anti a son of Tom Rued, it is possible that I would he a Republican, bnt the Southern Republicans sentiment and song is: f4I rather he a niggei than a poor white man !" And when you see a while man ;try so hard tti lie n nigger he generally succeeds, nod yet it always defeated. With kind regAid*t?yours very truly. H.T.J, j I Wsnli'd ?
