Pool and accused him of having been too intimate with Miss Pool. Mr. Pool, who is a distant cousin of the lady, denied the charge. Mr. Fowler insisted that he should make reparation by mar riage. It is said that Mr. Fowler then remarked that there must be some settlement of the affair at once, and drawing his pistol, be gan firnig. Mr. Pool returned the fire, woundling Mr. Fowler in both hands. When the affair was over, it was discovered that four shots had struck Mr. Pool, one being In the abdomen, one in the leg, one in the arm ond one in the side. His re covery is thought to be impossible. Mr. Pool has not been arrested. The affair has naturally created a great 1seal of excitement.

B. FjREEMzAi&N.--Na poleon Bonaparte Freeman died Monday morning at two o'clock. aged 4 'years, after an illness of about six weeks duration, lHe was a native of Rutherford countyv, N. C., and came here in 1809, byeing at that time employed as an ovei' seer' on the Air Line, then in pro-. (css of construction. In 1870 he engaged1 in the liquor business, which he has carried on ever since. lie was at one time street overseer', and under his direction lasting and valuiiable improvements were made. The dleceased was at member of the Executive Commit tee of the Pie.mont Fair Asoca iion and always used his best en deavors in promoting the advance mnent of the interests of'that organ imation. Hie was District Deputy Grand Master, I. 0. 0. F,, and Past Master of Mountain L2odge, No. 15, of this city. In 1875,- he married to Miss Alice Pool, daugh ter of W. P. Pool of this city. Mr. Freeman's business integri ty, liberality and public spirt were among his principal characteristic. He was always ready to contribute generously to every d'eerv ing ob ject, and his purse was ever open to relieve misfortune or distress. 'There were few public enterprises whieb were for Gree.nvnlk' ben fit that did not enlist his aid and encouragemedt, ana the loss of so useful a citizen will be generally regretted. Mr. Freeman's death was rather unexpected, as he rode out in a buggy on Sunday in company with Newton Poole and seemed much better. He grew worse however, on Sunday night about 11 o'clock and died Monday morning as sta ted.-Greenville News. ALWAYS LATE.--Half the value of anything to be done consists in doing it promptly. And yet a large class of persons are always in advance of them, and so it is with their appointments and en gagements. They are late, very likely, in rising in the morning, and also in going to bed at night; late at their meals; late at the tounting-house or office; late at their appointments with others. Their letters are sent to the post office just as the mail is closed. They arrive at the wharf just as the steamboat is leaving it. They come into the station just as the train is going out. They do not entirely forget or omit the engage ment or duty, but they are always beiid time, and so are generally in haste, or rather in a hurry, as if they had been born a little too late, and forever were tr3ing to catch up with the lost time. They waste time for themselves and waste it for others, and fail of the comfort and influence and success which they might have found in system atic and habitual punctuality. A good old lady, who was askedl why she was so early in her seat in church, is said to have replied that it was her religion not to disturb the religion of others. And if it were with all a )art, both of cour tesy and duty, not to say of relig- ] ion, never to be unpunctual, they would save time for, as well as annoyance to others, and aid them selves to success and iufluence in ta thousand ways. --Courage that grows from (cOn ttitution often fosakes the rnan when he has cceasions for' it ; cour age which arises from a sense ofH duty acts in) a uniform manner, --A judicious silence is better' than truth spoken with charity.
