A -ewberrian Uses the Cowhide in Augusta. Saturday's News and Courier con tained the following: AUousTT, May 10.-At 2 o'clock this afternoon Mr. Milton Young,salesman, and Mr. E. B. Blease, of Newberry, S. C., collector of P. F. Collier, publishers of New York, engaged in a difficulty in which Mr. Blease freely used a cow hide upon Mr. Young. The difficulty occurred in front of the Adkins House, where Mr. Blease is boarding. Young drove up to the Adkins House and held an interview with Mr. Blease and ordered him to deliver at once some books he had sold. Mr. Blease told him he could not deliver them to day, but would do so to to-morrow. Mr. Young tben ordered him to do as he commanded, but Mr. Blease refused to obey, as Young did not have authority to command him, so he claims. Mr. I,iease then claims that Mr. Young insulted him and when asked to retract refused. Mr. Blease then got a cowhide, and Mr. Young, who was in the buggy, jumped out and started running through Hegge's stables, closely followed by Mr. Blease, who freely used the lash. After run ning about one hundred yards Young found no escape, as the back gate was locked, and Mr. Blease then closed upon him and struck him with the butt end of the whip on the head, raising a welt and badly skinning his fore head. Mr. Young than ran back out through the front entrance, and the fight or flight ended. Mr. Young claims that he struck Blease with his fist. Both parties have been unfriendly for several days. Mr. Blease made the following state ment to the Augusta Chronicle : "This difficulty has been brewing for some days. Mr. Young is only an agent working on commissions. In my position as deliverer of the books, and colletor. I have to give a fifteen hundred dollar bond. My position gives me authority over Mr. Young, and he has not authority over me. I met him here accidentally, and natu rally we have been thrown much to gether. He has frequently used rough language to me, but has always turned it off with a laugh, and I did not think he meant anything by it. This after noon he told me while waiting in a bugry, to deliver some books im mediately. I told him that I would not do it; that I would deliver them to morrow. He used very insulting lan guage to me then that I would take from no man. I came down stairs and got a whip from Mr. Adkins. Going outside I caught hold-of the horse and told Mr. Young to get out of the buggy. He did, but ran across the street and through the stable. I followed him, using the whip. It broke, and when I cornered him I used the. butt end. He ran out again and struck a drum mer who was standing in front of the stable. I amn sorry the thing happen ed, and if I had stopped to think I would not have noticed Mr. Young.

At our last municipal election we had an independent ticket, and of course all could not be satisfied. Now we have an independent market and everybody is happy and serene, and the butchers too, and all is moving on smoothingly. Mr. G. B. Cromer, addressed a large audience in Grace Church on last Sunday night in behalfof the Woman's H ome and Foreign Missionary Society in strong, eloquent and unmistakable language. The speaker divested every man, whether Christian or not, of all his lame excuses, and laid the duty of every man perfectly bare at his feet, supported by the most unanswerable arguments. The lecture is regarded by all as being of a high standard. Mr. W. K. Sligh was also advertised -for the same occasion, but was prevented from being present by sickness. The concert and ice cream festival for the benefit of the Prosperity High School, came off as billed, and to say that it was a success, would be to put it in too mild a form. The entertain ment was liberally patronized by the people of town. The concert was simply grand. Not an error, or mis take in the whole programme. Each piece, part and scene, was not only well rendered, but each in itself was full of life, vigor, wit, humor, and at the same time was edifiying and eleva ting. We have often paid 75 cents to a theatre that was not half so good. The faculty seem to possess rare quali ties for training the young in more than one monotontous direction.

Mr. Williams Welch, who came from the North last week to spend the sum mer at home, was notified a day or two after his arrival that he had a Washington appointment and must report immediately for duty. Our young friend is in luck. for whilesome who are anxious for an appointment are shared out, others,who seem not to care for office, can get it any time. We believe this is Mr. WSelch's third ap pointment. He thinks more of his prt fession of painting than he does of pub lic office. Mrs. Hattie Sledge, late of Taylors ville, N.

We are all very thankful for the moderate shower of rain on Monday 1 night and for the prospect of more. It is no wonder that the strawberries I dried up and the afternoon sun took on an unnatural glare when it went sizzing up to 96 in the shade. A 1 July sun in the middle of May is a great weather freak. We hope now that it is becoming more natural we :shall I have a season for the grain and for transplanting purposes. The weather is delightful after the late electrical discharge and currents of wind that have swept the atmosphere. I)r. Pope said that the weather Tuesday morning I was in the condition that an old friend 1 of his used to speak of thus: "Pure and elastic, and quite electric." It was thought by sonic that the re- 0 moval of the prayer meeting to the church would lessen interest in the service, but it does not. There were be- i tween fifty and sixty persons present 1 last Sunday night. This is encourag ing, and it is hoped that the interest I will not only not diminish but that it may continue to Increase.

His appeal from t ee words, "Come; for all things are th ow ready," was very eloquent in its th arest persuasion and tenderness no ni ss than in the expressed peril and Ou anger that come of delay. It was a *hughtful discourse on a momentous usject. The Holy Sacrament was s elebrated by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Mc- ~ Clntock with the assistance of Rev. Dr Reid. Touching allusion was made by the pastor to the simp)1licity of thee Sacrament, its importance and neces-C sity, whereby, if we partake aright, we shall have remission of sins. Its anti quity was likewise feelingly alluded to in the fact that the Saviou.r's own lov ig voice sang the sweet psalm, a por tion of which is heard this day, from the Hallel.

We had a nice shower Monday night which was very much needed. Up to his time we were getting pretty dry. Farm work was almost suspended. We farmers had began to grumble like inything. Our negroes told us that it eemed to them like "laying by" time. 'he corn crop was all worked, and the rincipal part ol thecotton crop not np enough to work, consequently Liiere as nothing to do but go fishing. I think the wheat crop will be a little etter than it was last year. Fall oats s pretty good. The spring sowing will e rather short. We have always been informed that rangeburg was a very poor sandy ,ounty, but Rev. J. A. Sligh's report loes not agree with this. He states hat he is very much delighted with is trip to Orangeburg; that he found :he people very hospitable and inter :aining. He traveled through what we ;uppose to be the lower part of Orange urg, passing the large plantation of Peterkin's, which he says is a most xcellent farm. Down near Elloree, e says, the land is very productive nore so than ours. The country is evel, and easy to cultivate; that he iever saw but one gully while in that art of the county. He Inquired the iverage yield of cotton, and no one re orted it under 800 pounds in seed per cre, and that the average corn crop as from 12 to 18 bushels per acre. If bose reports are correctly given it cer ;ainly beats Newherry, and I would ;uggest that a few of us "clod hoppers" go down and inspect that part of )rangeburg. A tenant house of Mr. Willie D. Half ecre, near St. Phillip's church, was >urued on Saturday night last. The jouse was occupied by Emma Suber, olored, who with her children were in >ed.

It was a sensible, practi cal, earnest and "suggestive" talk. The speaker did not linger at the trysts of the nations to tell their styles. How the proud Castilian came to wed the Moorish maiden; whether the mer curial lover of La Belle France is more or less ardent than his neighbor across the channel, by the lakes of Killarney or under the blue mists of the Mourne. Whether the merry wives of Albion are as petite and graceful or so queenly a: the representative daughters of Co lumbia, and all that. He had no time for this. He had matters of moment to ta!k about and no time to spare. He took it for granted that his fair young hearers knew that the wedding bells of Newbcrry were just as sweet as the "chimes of Normandy" or Norway; and that they who vowed and vowed again "under the linden" were neither more sweet, nor happy, nor true to their troth than they who plighted undying love under the palmetto. He knew that they knew or would know ere many moons hung their crescent in the sky, that whether Scotch-Irish, Celt or Saxon, Norman-French or Teu ton, it was all the same; for were not these their grand-sires, who had come across the sea whispering "It's we two, it's we two. Ws we two for aye, Just as long as hearts are true and heaven be our stay." So he went at once to his objective point, and showed that the marital tree of Carolina was planted in the cleft of a rock; that the commonwealth al most stood in a minority of one upon the divine code-backed. perhaps, only by bonnie Scotland. That the institu tion ordained by Jehovah in Eden-by which the twain were declared one flesh, and which was confirmed and blessed by the Incarnate God at Cana of Galilee-that man dare not put apart what He had so completely uni ted, has always been the ideal marriage of South Carolina. Our State, the lecturer said, has ever stood as a wall of adamant against the most miserable heresy of divorce, and he would now sound the alarm against the encroachment of this and related evils now so menacing; that marriage will never prove a failure so long as we conform to the divine law. He said that while the State did not grant di vorce, the comity of States caused it to allow divorced parties of other common wealths to marry here. His argument, from a legal and ethi cal point, was both strong and good, for he had basal truth to stand upon.
