Boykin, Richard Singleton of Acron. Columbia. Nov. 25 -There is a ser? ious state of affairs over in Saluda gowing ont cf the Rhoden-Henderson affair, the developments in which have been promptly chronicled in this correspondence. A family feud, it will be remembered, culminated early in October in the shooting to death in tbe road at night on his way borne of M. Morse by W. L. Henderson and Alfred Free who were concerned io the fend. Henderson was so badly wounded in the chest and through tbe hand that he bad to be removed to a relative s. A short time after this at the instance of Solicitor Thurmond the governor offered a reward of SI00 each for the two white men and $-30 for tiie negro Will Cul breath, wbo droTe the wagon for the H?nderson 4^>erty tiie night ot ihe killing. It tmw torr* ont that none of the accus? ed has attempted to escape and that t'.ere was Dever any use for the re? ward*, according to Sher ff Rhoden'a o?n statement. And vet a ehort tjw Bites ititi a Maj. ?. S. Anderso&.pat in his appearance here with a rece for the person of Henderson sis? by the sheriff and bis deputy, s jailer, who heppens to bo the sheri! son. Upon this receipt, to which t sheriff's official seal is affixed, t governor paid the reward-offered 1 Henderson. The sheriff afterwa acconntcd for the receipt by sayi that it was obtained from him thron misrepresentation on the part Henderson's lawyer, Mr. N. G. Evai who told him that it was merely formai paper in an application for ba Mr. Evans in a signed statement fu] explains bis connection with the ca and emphatically denies that he pi sented this paper to the sheriff for I signature. Maj. Anderson, also o\ his own signature, tells of how sought out and found Henderson ai arrested him, but discovering th he was suffering so much from fc wounds left him at a Mr. Davis' where the sheriff placed a guard ov him, and that tberepon the sheri signed the receipt. Maj. Andersc concludes his statements by declarii that the whole trouble is caused 1 "Saluda being afflicted by a sneri who is.incapable of attending to ti duties of his office. . A fresh chapter to this lamentab story of laxity ic carrving out the la over in Saluda is added in the shoo ing of the negro Will Cnlbreath, a] parently by friends of Morse who see to have practically lynched him. is understood that the negro was in plicated in the beginning merely 1 discredit his testimony against tl white meD. The coroner's inquei yesterday brought iii this verdict c the death of the negro : "We find that Will Cnlbreath carr to his death from a pistol shot woun at the bands of S. D. Gillion, an that U. D. Gillion, M. B. Morse, ? Mid Moffett were accessories." The men came upon the negi white be was ploughing in the fiel of W. Henderson, a brrther cf W. I Henderson. S: D. Gillion had bee deputized to arrest him. According t several eve witnesses Gillion told th negro that if he ran he would be shot Clubreath was shot in the back c the head as he was running i front of Gillion at a distance of aboc 30 yards. Gillion's bands was airead bloody, he was tried for the murde of a Mr. Cogburn just after the nei county was formed. Warrants bav been issued for the men named in th coroner's verdict and it is said tba warrants are also out for Dock Mc Kay, and two others whose rames ar not known, these three being in th woods nearby when Cnlbreath wa killed. The story of another dark crim comes i:_ from Chester, near whici town Mack Anderson, a negro, wa taken from his home at night am murdered with an ax and rrbbed o $50. lt was known among bis negr neighbors that he had money and sev eral of them have been arrested on sus picion. The Tboruwcli Orphanage seminar; buildine, was totally destroyed by fir yesterday. The less was 63 OOO wi tl only Sl.O?'O insurance. The buildinj was dedicated in li^> by Gov. Thouin -son whose iuneral was held here thi week. Columbia, S. C., Nov. 28 -Hoy Hayes, the young mountaineer con cern ing whose commutation of th< death sentence there was so rune! feeling engendered throughout tb? State recently, aud which act of tb< governor inspired a red-hot petitioi from Hayes' county, Oconee, asking the governor to resign, presents th? unique situation-unique fer thii State at least-of a man being denice a pardon for fear of bis being lynched. At least it is the understanding among Hayes' friends that the govern? or is sufficiently well satisfied that thc young man is innocent of the crime for which he was sentenced to hang, is convinced, as practically everybody else, who has studied the testimony and other records in the case, that he. did not murder his young bride but that she commirtpd suicide, bot it is nrged that feeling in certain parts o? Oconee is still so strong against the young man that there would be grave danser of lynching if he were to re? turn there now. Hayes expects and probably will get a full pardon within six months or a year, but harldy be? fore that time. Up to a few days ago he was not compelled to put on prison garb and was not required to do bard labor. But in order to allay dissatis? faction among the other prisoners be has now been put in stripes and is working along with other convicts in the knitting mill. The governor con? tinues to get ietters from various parts of the state commending his coursa in commuting Hayes' sentence. A preminent Occnee man who heard all of beth trials and who is intimate? ly acquainted with every other matter connected with the case, was here to? day, and in a chat with your corres? pondent related an interesting inci? dent of the case which has escaped ail of the newspapers. According to this gentleman the strong proud ice against young Hayes which has now spread to all iarts of the county, and which has been communicated to neighboring con? ties and found expression m their newspapers, had its origin about tour years ago in a misunderstanding among the members of Return baptist church, where Hoyt Hayes and his wife attend services and Sunday school. The feeling against Hoyt, this gentleman says, was mostly in? herited from his father,who was close in money matters, but as is frequent? ly characteristic of such men just awd strickly honest and reliable. A new building was desired, and those at tbe bead of affairs in the church decided to make assessments iu proportion to the amour t of property held by the j members, being guided in making out the bills by the auditors tax returns. ; They assessed t tie father of Hoyt on a ba^is of $2,000. and ignoren bi* prote-t t*?at this was nnjnst inasmuch as there was a mortgage for gi,nu? on tbc tract of land ht- owned^ond that h? ebor, ld tot be a sse ssed on a basis of mere than the net value of bu* pro- j pery. The contentions lead to es- ! ti^iigenienfc and bitterness which was followed by tbe old man leaving the neighborhood in disgust and settling at Westminister. He left ahon? 50 acres apiece to bis three children in the Return neighborhood, and ail but Hoyt are living there now. Mr. R. T. Jaynes of counsel for Haye?, hero attending the supreme court recently, told me of the great difficulty he experienced in getting specimens of the dead woman's hand? writing. The case, it will be remem? bered turned on whether the note found in the room where the body lay and which declared that the woman killed herself because she dreaded th pain of childbirth, was written by th woman or forged by the husband. Specimens were submitted by Mrs. Hayes father, Mr. Crane, at the first inquest, at which two of her sisters testified that according to their judg? ment the note was in their sistter's handwriting. This investigation re? sulted in a/ verdict of suicide. The two specimens of handwriting were never again seen ; the coroner says he gave them to Crane, but Crane says that official left them on the able and that they probably got lost. Finally after much anxios waiting and inquir? ing it was learned that there were spcimens in the possession of the dead woman's cousin, Miss Julia Crane, who lived in another part of the county. The sheriff secured them before he told her for which side he wanted them. The young woman for whom the prosecution in its effort to provide a motive says frayes bad an attachment, offered to go on the stand, Mr. Jaynes says, but the story of their alleged at? tachment was considered so far-fetch? ed that the defense thought it un? necessary to cause her the embarrass? ment. She was engaged to Hoyt np to a short time before his marriage, but they were simply friends after that. There was no gossip about them although they lived within a few miles of each other, friends and rela? tives and neighbors of both Hoyt and his wife. Sumter's Festival. Comparisons are odious to those suffering by the parallel an they may not always be 6o effective as a simple statement of facts, so in making this brief mention of the Sumter Fall Fes? tival we will endeavor to refrain from comparison. One very important dis? covery was made this week by the thousands of pepole who visited Sum? ter and that is that when the very best of the spirit called.hereabouts '"the Atlanta spirit" is wanted the sample may be drawn from a South Carolina town. That is the spirit of enthusiasm, of united action of liber? ality, of all pulling together with in? dividual subordination for the public good. That is what they learned in Sumter and that explains why the Sumter of today is absolutely unrecog? nizable as the litle town when last seen by the writer. ? The people of Sumter contributed *3,5CO dollars to pay tho expenses of this fall festival-it was not drawn ont of them with tbe aid of a block vand tackle but was in reality "contribut? ed." Almost at the. sume time, we are informed, about as much rnore> money was raised by subscription for other non-coupon clipping purposes in which there was popular pride -and on Thursday when there were thou? sands of strangers iu the cit}' Sumter's stores were closed. It was a real public festivity with no money-mak? ing features attached. "Hov? do these people expect to get their money back?" asked a CoJsSmbian. Maybe they don't expect n^but if it does not do them more good than drawing 8 per cent, interest we will be aston? ished. They have inspired them? selves, pleasantly surprised their old friends and made manv new ones. And is that not worth the cost? The self confidence gained and the enthu? siasm aroused are worth more to Sum? ter than can be measured in dollars and cents. The horse show on Wednesday was such an astonishing success that it will probably be made a regular an? nual affair. The people of the county did not realize their wealth in horse flesh until the animals, were brought together. The immediate effect will be to stimulate the breeding and owning of even a better grade of horses throughout Sumter county. That is a distinct and substantial accomplish? ment of the festival. The business and professional mon of Sumter forgot their vocations dur? ing the festival' and became ho3ts of the public. Good spirit, good nature and hospitality were marked features. It was a great, jolly crowd from the governor down to the "trusties" from the State farm. Sumter is to be con? gratulated : 4&outh Carolina is to be congratulatd on having Sumter secure within her borders.

A curious contest between a kanga? roo and a buffalo took place in a large zoological park in the north of Eng? land. The two animals, after breaking loose from their inclosure, met face to face in an open space in the park. Without any preliminary quarrel, the bull made a furious onslaught on the kangaroo, which at first contented it? self with an endeavor ta avoid the charge. After a few moments, however, the bull's attentions became altogether too personal to pass unrebuked, and, using its iwofs as battering rains, the kan gai\)o belabored the buffalo in the most effective manner. Roaring and bel? lowing, the irate buffalo made repeated attempts to gore its antagonist to death, but with scant success, the kan? garoo proving a most "slippery" foe. The fray waxed furious for over an hour, at the end of which time the buffalo retired, not before, however, its carcass bore unmistakable signs of the kangaroo's attentions. Musician* and Reptile?. "Doesn't that organist look like a lizard?" said the biologist. The music rolled forth in great, sweet waves, and. rapt before his huge in? strument, very still, his head, with its long hair, thrown back, the organist did indeed resemble a lizard remark? ably. "Musicians - great musicians - have much in common with reptiles," the biologist went on. "In all the animate kingdom only reptiles are sensitive to music, and only birds, which are noth? ing but feathered reptiles, make music. "Birds are reptiles that have put forth wings and feathers. They sing, and the windless, featherless reptiles san*.:, too. at one time, it is said. And they still, tile wingless ones, maintain a fondness for song. Snakes and liz? ards will come forth readily from their retreats to listen to music."-New York Telegram. BritJtfli Military Bull?.

Though the intention of this order ls clear, its phraseology is not, "Men on outpost drty are forbidden to strike matchee Sumter ai Its Best. In these days, when every village in the South is having its "Carni? val," che festival iu Sumter is not to be confused with the ordinary street shows. Sumter with its six or seven thousand inhabitant?, situated near thecentr8 of South Carolina as well as in the heart of an agricultural region as rich as any m this country, is a community with a citizenship meas? uring in public spirit to what its en? vironment demands. Ten years ago a celebration was given at Sumter in the face of com? mercial conditions, which, to the pes? simists, threatened the business health of the town. It was such a success and such an event in the civic life of South Carolina as to put to silence and shame every voice that croaked as to Sumter's future. The festival now at its height in Sumter marks the floodtide of the Gamecock City's splendid and rejoicing prosperiy. Understanding to the full the pre? sent strength and growth of their city and its tributary country, and with adequate conception of the expansion which the future promises, the people of Sumter opened their purses to pro? vide ,a celeration which cannot but focus general attention. While this festival is what might be expected of such a town, it is not less in its cost, in is scope and its attractions than those usually given in cities of the size of Charleston and Savannah. The festival, therefore, is a striking and impressive as well as auspicious event, and it is only natural that all the towns in a radius of a hundred miles should participate with pride and enthusiasm in what their sister com? munity is so splendidly achieving. On this Thanksigving morning when Sonth Carolina is gladdened in ev?ry county with such material prosperity as has perhaps not hereto? fore been known in our history, the metropolis of the State in the midst of its own ' festivities congratulates its commercial ally and friend in senti? ment a few miles to the north.-News and Courier, Nov. 24.
