There being no case ready for trial,
Court adjourned till Tuesday morning.
Storm at Rock ('reek.?A subscriber
writing from Rock Creek, May
29, says: "We have been slighted for
some days past by the refreshing rains
that have been falling all around u>: but
it was determined that we should not
remain so. We were visited yesterday
(Sunday) by the heaviest rain that we
have seen fall for many days. It fell
between three and five o'clock, accompanied
by a severe wind storm., which
uprooted trees and lifted the tops off'
some outhouses near us. Neither
would the hail slight us. It fell not so
large as a hen egg, but almost as large
as a partridge egg. Lands arc very
badly washed; cotton and corn crops
badlv damaged?the latter will have to
5 be replanted in most of the bottom
lands. "We arc feeling very blue, but
I hope to survive. Perhaps v. e might
write more, but we will have to stop
I
as Mr. Zealy is at the church waiting
! for us to register." Another corres"
pondent writes thai the damage to corn
' and cotton has been great. Four
houses were unroofed, and the hail
i was heavy.

XOTES FROM BROAD RIVER. j
The Crops and the Farmers?A Flourishing i
Mill?The Fine Water Power.
Jiessi's. Jbaitors: n tnere is no oo-1
jection I will send you a few dots. I
The cold and dry weather here ltive I
held the crops in chcck very much, i
The corn is not looking as well and the !
stand of cotton not so irood as it gen-1
w j
erally is at this time. The peach crop ;
so fur is good, but apples are scarce.
The wheat and oats crop is very fine, j
The latter, especially, as far as I can j
loarn is extra. Some complain of rust;
in the wheat, but not to do much harm j
so far. I hope the success of the small
grain this year will encourage the j
planters to take hold still stronger
next season. V?'e have very eouveni-!
ent to the wheat-growing region one :
of the best flour mills in the State, j
owned by J. C. Swygert & Bro.. which :
is in excellent running order, under I
the management of an experienced ;
miller, who is a courteous gentleman |
who is doing .business promptly and i
"politely for all who give him a call.
The roads leading to the mill have been ,
put in'good order for the convenience I
of anv who irfhv wish such work done.!
The advantages of a water mill for j
grinding flour over a steam mill are a |,
consideration, where a good turnout I.
aud good quality are desired, because j
of the uniform speed of its motion, j
This is the old Lakin mill, where there j
is one of the best water powers on j;
Broad Eiver for the purposes of mills
or factories, and why should it not be ,
pur there as well as other places? We
would be glad if these young men
would raise sufficient capital to start
a cotton spinning and weaving opera- ,
tion there, as the water power can be
increased to any amount desired with
little expense or trouble. The shoal
abounds in fish easily caught in. the
sein, and the grove offers facilities for
picnic dinners, where there is a spring
of excellent water and the railroad
very convenient. Buoad Kiveu. j,

our dinner, and with nine more like it
royally fried, we dined on the banks
of the "White "Water, listening to the
roar of the lower falls and in full view
of the upper falls. The White Water
is the most beautiful of streams?look
to the map and see the extreme northeast
corner of Oconee, for there's the
spot?emerging from Cashier's valley
it approaches the South Carolina line,
and by way of hurrying to our borders j
falls some two hundred to three hun- !
dred feet, and into South Carolina aj
mile below runs the White "Water val- j
ley a matter of two miles, and then
not satisfied it safely dashes in crystal
spray at half a dozen leaps tnree nun- j
dred feet more. The White "Water, so :
appropriately named, as it bubbling
boils and falls in silvery spray with its
bottom of white gneiss, a most beautiful
stream, and cool and sweet as
you would say if you drank of its
| clCa- voters for three days as we have.

rich salmon-colored flesh, fit to tickie

days we devoured thirty fish, and at'

The Condition of the Grain Crops- The Pro
posed New County.
31essrs. Editors: Wc are harvesting
I our oats crop, which is the finest seei
for years. Wheat is said to be wel
filled, notwithstanding1 the early appearance
of rust, but it has been confined
mostly to the blades.
Your correspondent, W. E., seem?
surprised at my simple views of what
the "Corner" wants. I am equally
so at W. E. talking about olden times
when a few citizens in the townships
and county performed the duties ol
civil officers. Either Major So-and-so
or Captain So-and-so attended to all
the settling up of estates and so 011.
Now, we have a very large number ot
citizens since the bottom rail has been
removed?if not on top it would like
to be. With this vast number of citizens
occupying the situations they do,
harboring the belief they do, that
what they can steal and conceal is
right, and with the great inducements
that are offered them by the seed-cotton
and produce traffic, make it a necessity
to have litigation, and as long as
cheap evidence under the leadership of
some professional wag is continued it
becomes more and more necessary to
have {he strong arm of justice ami law
near at hand. AVe are all liable to be
witnesses or jurymen, and even prosecuted
and forced to ride time and again
to Winnsboro to see the case set aside
by some little technical error in the
prosecution or the keeping out of sight
some educated witness, thereby putting"
off from time to time to evade common
justice by the legal way. Let us forget
the things which are behind
us, look forward to the things which
are before us, and press forward towards
the mark. As to the kind of
men we would like to send to the Legislature,
that is a matter that could be
attended to after the birth of our new
county. Of course we would expect
to take our place in line with our sister
Democratic county. As long as the
cloud of corruption is so near in our
rear wc will be l'orced to unanimity or
concert of action. Wc have no one
with us that we want to boast of his
legislative qualities, but believe we
could find enough good men within
our bounds to protect our common
interests, if this new county couid be
fortr.ed and tlie court-house bu:!t on
tlie west sulo of Broad Uiver at Shel
ton's ferry, it would bo surrounded by
a good tanning country very convenient
to transportation either by rail
or water. It . would very soon be one
of the very best cotton and provision
markets known to the up country?
overriding the little expense of building
the necessary public buildings.
Saying -nothing of the legal conveniences,
it would be a irreat benefit.
We have water power here beyond
estimate,'" suitable for factories and
mills of all descriptions. As to fishing
on the Broad and Sandv rivers, there
is not much jn that, except to increase
laziness and want. As to the terms of
office I believe the whole thing should
be doubled, at least the terms of the
Governor and the legislators, and I
Lruess every office-holder in county or
State will agree with me. If we had
had the old Continentals E. spoke
about ni urnnts auimmsirruion. ana
they had persisted in their former way

MATTERS AT RIDGE WAT.
rhe Grow-inx Crops, and the Farmers* Expectations?The
Business Outlook, and
the General Prospect.
Correspondence or the Columbia Rp$rtstr>r.
Bidgkway, June 2.?Tlie hard rain
and wind of Wednesday afternoon?a
rain hard to beat in quantity of water
falling per minute?did considerable
damage to the farmers by blowing
down their small grain. The frequent
showers are not favor; ">le to the har
vest season, upon which we have fully
entered.
Muscle and a knowledge of how to
throw a cradle and tie a bundle of
grain are at a premium now. None
need lounge in the market places these
spring days pleading "no man hath
hired us."
The reaper has not visited this section
yet. Farmers are afraid of it
until they can see it in successful operation.
One farmer has bought one,
but rumor says he is in the same fix
with it that the farmer was in who

an amateur clock tinker. After he had
taken the old family clock to pieces he
found that, put it together as he would
there was one wheel too many.
The report of the fanners about the
grain crop is that it is good?a large
acreage and an abundant yield. The
wheat prospect is better than a few
weeks ago. Rust is confined to the
blade and 011 niauv farms the blade is
spared.
*r> Al\Anf Avni? in

some places, but in others?the larger
portion too?much cotton is unchopped.
It looks well since sunshine and shower
has superseded the untimely cool
weather, which insisted on taking
spring from us. The lint prospect is
much improved.
Corn looks well. A man about five
miles fro in Kidgeway is talking about
laying by some. Not much corn in the
country, I ween, so far advanced as
that. The planters hereabouts are not
heavy corn planters. The lien victim,
of course, has 110 option, but those
who can do somewhat as they think
best say oats pay much better.
Good gardens are plentiful and are a
subject of boast. Several claim to be
in the superlative.
Business is dull except on Saturdays.
This shows that tlie fanners stay'at
home and attend to their crops. They
s^e n to be in good spirits and speak
cheerfully of the prospect. No fault
of labor, seasons or soil is comparable
to the credit system as a barrier to
agricultural prosperity. To buy corn
and meat, at the present high cash
prices is financial ruin to the fanners,
but to buy these indispensable articles
at the rate charged by the supply merchant
on time is to sell themselves and
their land {'or bread, and they and their
lands will be servants unto Pharaoh.
Some few farmers are rising above tliis
state of things, and it is to be hoped
that fair seasons and a good crop will
place a large number of them beyond
the necessity of Inn ing on credit at all
and all of them beyond the necessity
| oi buying ou a ruinous ciedit. "\V<
e must not look upon the supply mer- j
chants as harpies devouring the be>t of i
!- j the bamjivit and returning curses in j

1 assault upon a lady near Blythewood.!
jj was lynched on Friday night. The |
reporter of the JYew and Courier has j

3 i of the affair, that cannot do better than
I ;
; reproduce it entire as follows:
H'ixxsboko, June 3.?One of the |
[ most fiendish outrages ever committed j
; in* Fairfield couiitv has been terriblv j
" * I
r \ avenged.
* I Tin* ftircnmstanccs attending" the!
I ! assault have been detailed, and are |
_ j bri-jfly these: About sundown on
_ I We dnesday evening Mrs. Rains went;
i to i he spring1 near her house to get a !
. j bucket of water. After she had filled ;
. j her bucket and was about returning to !
the hou?c, Caleb Campbell, a colored j
. maapproached ner, threw his arms
around her neck, and dashed her to j
, the ground. Mrs. Rains resisted, cried j
i for help, and after struggling on the !
I ground for five or ten minutes, the j
negro lett without accoinplishing his
.I villainous purpose, being frightened;
: away by sounds of an approaching i
j wagon.
| As soon as tlic news of the assault i
was known in the community a num;
ber of persons were arrested and
; brought before Mrs. Rains for identification.
When Caleb Campbell was
! brought before her he was instantly
j identified as the person committing the
; assault. Jle was taken before Trial
J Justice J. D. Jloirun on Monday hist,
I and after a preliminary examination,
i was regularly committed to jail for

In ordesj to prevent a resort to pop a- i '
j lar violence Campbell was brought to
| Winnsboro on the train on Monday
j night. in charge of a special constable, j
' and safely lodged in jail. Last night, i
! between 12 and 1 o'clock, a party of j
eighty men rode into Winlisboro. and j
j going to the jail told the sheriff they j |
; had a prisoner for him. Not suspect- | ,
i ing that anything was wrong the sheriff i1
j opened the door, when he was seized j 1
; by several men and roughly thrown to ; '
i the floor. On trying to summon help j
: a saddle cloth was thrown over his
) head to prevent any outcry. In spite !
} of the sheriff's protests and resistance J
| his pockets were searched and the key j <
' secured to the door leading to the third (
I story of the building where flie cells j'
; are situated. A number of the men ; ,
j went n p stairs and exirtnined the eel is j'
1 asking at each cell who occupied it. 1

; of handcuffs was promptly clasped 11
\ around hi? wrists, and lie was taken ! \
out of jail into the street and mounted i <
; on a mule, in front of one of tlie visd- ;
lance committee. A rope was placed
| around Campbell's neck, and with one
, end in.the ha mis" of two men who rode
. on cither side ox the doomed man the
: ni<f it-riders left town in a irallop, (
j rCding at full 'speed down tlic Oolumj
bia read *o a point about three miles 1
below AVinnsborc. There the mule on j
' which the prisoner was mounted was .
ridden under a larire post oak tree, and jJ
, llJC lUJJC iiumiiu m* uuirt vv ujiuwii
! over a convenient limb and secured to
| a p: ire tree standing within a few feet,
j The mule was then led out and Caleb
was left hanging between heaven and
i ear:h.
; '1 lie men who did the work rode ,
; away quietly, and when the sheriff
I reached the place of execution, only a ]
i short time after the deed was done. t
! there was nothing to he seen hut Caleb
r Campbell's body slightly swaying in
the cool night air, stone dead.
i 'J he whole plot for the lynching of J
; thi> man was evidently well planned, i
a'id the programme was carried 01:t c
wi:h military precision?ail the vigi- l
lan s wore masks, or had blackened
their faces, and some of them were
covered with sheets. On reaching 1
town they posted pickets at several
points and halted several parties, but
the whole business was done with so
much quietness and order that many of
the citizens who lived directly on f
| the streets-through which the strange
j cavalcade rode was not awakened out
of their sleep. .
When the party left the jail they
locked the doors so as to prevent the
escape of the other prisoners. As soon
as the sheriff was released he
went to the ii.tcndant of the town, J.
J. 2seil, for counsel and assistance,and <J
I as soon as he could ?et his horse sad- ,
died, set out with his deputy in pursuit
of the raiders. On passing Major ]
T. \Y. Woodward's residence, about
three miles from Winnsboro, the 1
sheriff stopped and called for help. ,
Major Woodward joined the sheriff'
and went down to tlio spot wnere (
Campbell was hanging. Major Woodward
examined the body and found 110 *
signs of life and he and the sheriff cut t
the rope and lowered the body gentlv
to the ground. The sheriff shut the t
negro's eyes, put his tongue back into
his mouth and loosening the rope *'
around his neck left the corpse on the (
ground until this morning, when an
inquest was held by the coroner, t
George S. llinnant.
When the sheriff reached Campbell
he found a small placard pinned to his
clothing containing the following .
words: "Our mothers, wives and sis
tors shall be protected, even with our
lives.77
At the inquest to-day, after examining
a number of who testified to the
materia! Tacts as related above, the
jury, of which Mr. J. II. Ctimmings
was foreman, rendered a verdict that
"Caleb Campbell was killed and mur- "
dered by hanging by some person or
]>crsons to the jury unknown." A 1
crowd of ab >ut one hundred people
was present at the inquest.
When I reached the scene of the
hanging to-day, the coroner and jury
j had gone, but several white men and
I a stolid group of some twenty negroes
I were discussing tlic outrage and the 1
: execution. The body of Caleb Camp-1
: boll was lying under the shade of a j
j low pine bush twenty-five steps from J
I the post-oak gallows, covered with
| pine brush to keep the flies away a*.i<l j
j to hide his face from tlie pass< s-by.
! His lace wore a calm and placid look,
i Ills lips were sliiflitlv open and his t
; limbs were stiff with death. The dead
; man wore an unlaundried shirt with
linen front, a white cotton vest and a
pair of lavender colored pataloons.;
j He had no shoes upon his feet and his j
arms were lying under him socurciy j
j held by the hand cutis which hart not |
I been removed. There were no marks !
I of violence upon his person, and the
rope with which he had been hanged i
! had only bruised the flesh around his j
neck. J)eath, according to the medi-!
j cal examination which was made by
Dr. Ira T. Smith at the inquest, rei
suited from strangulation. The rope
i with which the hanging was done was
a halt-inch cotton rone, such as i* rn>n
I i erallv used tor plough lines, and to
I | make.sure of the result this rope was
'-doubled. The fatal noose in this case
i 4 was an ordinary slipknot which only
iiitfl
drew more lightly the greater the resistance.
.. . ..
The negroes who were present: at
the inquest did not exhibit any feelinjr,
I and one of the members of St. Clark's
Baptist Clmrch (colored) was u?will|
ing that the body should be burifcd in
the churchyard. Tiie friends of the
victim made no demand for the bodv.
which was buried in a county coffin
just under the limb upon which lie
paid the penalty for his awful crime.
Campbell was a stout negro about
1 went.}-two years old and bore a bad
character, having once committed an
outrage on a young negro woman and
being suspected of a villainous assault
on another white lady. Although the
more conservative portion of the community
regret the resort to popular
violence, still no one doubts that
Campbell fully merited the justice
which has been measured out to him.
There is no doubt that he committed
tne assault on Mrs. Bains. The evidence
again?t him was overwhelming
Mini oniwlnsivA. The terrible sirU/yle
with her assailant has resulted iu^a
premature birth, and 1 understand this
evening1 that the lady is in a critical
condition. J. c. :a.
Death of Eight Heroic Men.?Our
correspondent at Atherstone teL-graphs
that eight of the gallant men Jwho
attempted the rescue of the imprisoned
colliers at lJaxterlev have died of the
injuries they received and that four or
five others arc not expected to recover.
Tiie attempted rescue was one of those
heroic efforts for which men seem
always to be ready when the call for
them cuii.es. A number of men working
nearly a mile underground from
the pit's mouth were cut off bv a fire

tlicin and the shaft. As soon as their
perilous position was known, Mr.
Dugdale, the owii& of the mine, Mr.
Parker, the manager, his son, with Mr.
C.Day, the head deputy, and two of
his sons and several ether perso?* descended
to explore. While they were
down several explosions occurred,
from which all but three escaped with
much injury. At once another group
descended. Among these were Mr.
Stokes, the inspector of mines, Mr
Spruce, engineer, Mr. Marsh, of Hallend.
and Mr- T. H. Mortram. They
were able to rescue Mr. Dugdale and
the two men who, like him, had failed
to escape, Mr. C. Chetwynd, a volunteer
from Hall-end College, specially
distinguished himself. Among the
eight men who have succumbed to the
injuries inflicted by the explosion a:e
two sons of tne courageous neaci
deputy, Charies Day, who accompanied
both exploring parties. All these men
deserve the fullest public recognition
i)t" their self-devotion. Services such
us they have rendered throw a gleam
i?f light on the gloomy record of indus!
rial calamities. The courage which
such deeds demand is of the very .
highest order. It is true heroism. The
terrible risks winch these exploring
parties run must be obvious enough to
I he men who face them, but it is only
in cases such as the present, in which i i
the lives which are so readily offered j
lire cut off, that the general public has
:m opportunity of learning what blood
' fetched from father of war proof"'
flows in the veins of the ''noblest English*'
among our industrial population.

STRONG
FACTS/
A great many people are asking
what particular troubles Brown's
Tonv 'Rixtfb? ic crnnrf for.
It will cure Heart Disease, Paralysis,
Dropsy, Kidney Disease, Consumption,
Dyspepsia, Rheumatism,
Neuralgia, and all similar diseases.
Its wonderful curative power is
simply because it purifies and enriches
the blood, thus beginning at
the foundation, and by building up
the system, drives out all disease.
A Lady Cured of Rheumatism.
Ttaitlmore. Md_. Mav n.
My health was much shattered by
Rheumatism when I commenced
taking Brown's Iron Bitters, and I
scarcely had strength enough to attend
to my daily household duties.
I am now using the third bottle and I
am regaining strength daily, and I
cheerfully recommend it to all.
I cannot say too much in praise
of it. Mrs. Maky E. Brashear,
173 Prestmanst.
Kidney Disease Cured.
Christiansburg, Vx, 18S1.
Suffering from kidney disease,
from whicn I could get no relief, I
tried Brown's Iron Bitters, which ^
cured me completely. A child of
mine, recovering from scarlet fever,
had no appetite and did not seem to
be able to cat at alL Igavehimlroo
Bitters with the happiest results.
J. Kvls Montague,
Heart Disease.
Vine St., Hamsburg, Pa.
Dec. 2, 1S81.
After trying different physicians
and many remedies for palpitation
of the heart without receiving any
benefit, I was advised to try Brown's
Iron Bitters. I have used two bottles
and never found anything that
gave me so much relief.
Mrs. Jennis Hess.
For the peculiar troubles to which
ladies are subject, Brown's Iron
Bitters is invaluable. Try it. ,
Be sure and get the Genuine.
