He was about twenty-four years of age and nnrnarried, of a lively, genial disposition. Mr. Yongue had many warm friends in this county, and his very sad death will cast a gloom over all of them. To his relatives and immediate family we extend onr sympathies. Attempted Escape.?Wm.

Mother HuBBARDS.-The New York Herald of last Friday, says editorialiv: | It is reported that some Western I women are threatened with arrest for wearing Mother Hubbard dresses, these garments being denounced as "improper and tending to indecent ex- ; i posure*" The usual complaint in the . ! East is that the quaint "Mother Hubbard" disguises the figure completely. Probably this is just the reason it is offensive to some hypocritical Western j eyes, unless, indeed, a different and j diaphanous or scauty robe has been I introduced under the name of the vir taous old dame of whom we an ncarci Id childhood's snnny Hoar.

' A Bad Bepoet.?The Carolina Spartan says: Dr. J. F. Ensor has been traveling over some of our upper counties in his official capacity, and reports that in Union, Chester and Fairfield the traffic in whiskey is increasing. It is not confined to towns and railroads, but if. ia nsnal to hp^ir of a man ont in the country selling whiskey trom his house or shop, or on the road. He has lately made thirty arrests in Uniou county. These lawbreakers are generally poor and ignorant men who would prefer to make one dollar by this unlawful traffic rather than twice that amount by hard labor. In Spartanburg county ^ewer cases have been reported to him, and the most of this traffic is carried - - i ? s J on acre m town. nmie men m uau character and negroes who are very poor get a fiask of whiskey and retail it out in alleys at ten cents a drink.

Shaw, died in this place at an early hour on "Wednesday morning.

Journalistic.?The Columbia liegister has recently entered upon the tenth year of its existence, bearing unmistakable evidences of a vigor which jives assurance of many i^ore years of usefulness to Columbia and to the State. The period through which the Register has thus successfully passed has been full of importance to our people and .of responsibilities on the 4-V. ^ 7^/ia ' press. JL Uill illipuruuiuc IUC itcyuHb. has fully realized, and those responsibilities it has bravely met. The-ZVezcs and the Herald, published at Newberry, have been consolidated, and will hereafter be issued as one paper, under^lhe title of the HeraldNews. This change was induced by the death of the talented and much lamented T. E. Grenneker, whose editorial work upon the Herald had given such bright promise of eminence iu his profession. The new paper will be under the editorial conduct of Messrs. 11. H. Grenneker and E. H. Aull, journalists of talent and experience. "We wish ihcm the fullest success. Mr. E. E. Bomar has retired from the editorial charge of the Spartanburg Herald, a paper which, under his mnnonamnnf Vine 'vrtneJ-onfl V riCAll 11} ! uianag^ui^iiij uuo * *w? ? the estimation of the press and the people. Mr. B'omar's retirement is a loss to the journalism of the State, but we are pleased to know that he leaves the Herald in good hands, under the conduct of Mr. William Jones, a rising metnber of the Spartanburg bar. Worth Knowing.?Poisoning from canned fruit and vegetables is not common, but it occurs occasionally. An expert physician gives the following good advice on the subjcct: 1. Every can should be examined, and if two holes are found in it, send the can at once to the health board with the contents and name of the grocer who sold it. 2. Reject every article of canned food that does not show the line of the rosin around the edge of the solder of the cap, the same as is seen on the seam at the side of the can. 3. Reject every can that does not have the name of the manufacturer or firm upon it as well as the name of the company and the town where manufactured. "Standards" have all this. When the wholesale dealer is ashamed to have his name on the goods fight shy of them. 4. Press the bottom of the can. If decomposition is commencing the tin !11 iil- ?1* ~ ^ ~ ~ /sf Will I cllUU lUC dO-LUC CiiC UUHUUi \J 1 the oiler of your sewing machine does. If the goods arc sound it will be solid, and there will be 110 rattle to the tiu. o. Reject every can that shows any rust around the cap on the inside of the head of the can. If housewives are educated to these points, then muriate of zinc amalgam will be a thing of the past and dealers in "swills" have to seek some other occupation. Tue Primary Canvass.?Pursuant to the instructions of the Democratic County Executive Committee, the County Chairman has arranged the following scheme of meetings: At Robertson's School House, Fri day, August 10, z, p. m., to oe attended by the Jackson's Creek Club.

The Congressional Contest.?The proceedings of the Nominating Convention of the Fourth District were resumed on Wednesday morning. The voting continued without change to the 83rd ballot, when Mr. Humbert moved that the Convention adjourn, to meet at Greenville on the 19th inst. This motion was lost. After the 88th ballot the Convention went into caucus fn rv*tisirier the deadlock. This caucus adopted the following resolution: Resolved, That this committee of the whole proceed to ballot for three out of . the five candidates of those whose names are now bofore.the Convention, each delegate voting for three names as his first, second and third choice, and that the names of the three receiving the highest number of votes be presented to the Convention as the selection of the committee. Under this resolution a ballot was held with the following result: Gaillard 44, Ball 31, Perry 29, Munro 20, McMaster 19, scattering 1. The committee rose and reported to the Convention, which report was adopted, and after a short recess the. eighty-ninth ballot was ordered. . An effort was then made to open the nominations, to let in "dark horses", but the motion- offered was lost. A ballot was then taken, with the following result: Gaillard 13, Perry 14, Ball 15, Youmans 6. The balloting then continued, with slight changes, until the 99th ballot, when the Couvention adjourned till Thursday morning. After adjournment several consultations were held, and when the delegates .came together on Thursday morn-: ing it was evident that they considered the eommitttee plan a failure and the deadlock as last as ever, riic convention .being called to order their action in adopting the report of the committee was reconsidered and the report not agreed to. This placed all the candidates in the field again. After a short recess Mr. Emlyn withdrew Mr. McMaster, and pledged ltichland to support the nominee of the Convention. The 99th ballot was ordered and resulted: Gaillard 8, Perry 11, Ball 9, Munro 20. Three other ballots followed with slightly varying results, after which a recess of fifteen minutes was taken. - -When the Convention reassembled Mr. Douglass withdrew Mr. Gaillard, and Mr. Humbert withdrew Mr. Ball. Then the one hundred and second ballot was ordered with the following result: Perry 28, Munro 20. The announcement was received . with cheering. Mr. Steedman moved to make the nomination unanimous, which w as. carried. A vote of thanks was returned to Chairman Farley and Secretary Sloan, and the Convention adjourned sine die at 10.50 a. m., after sixteen hours5work. A. VISIT TO THE COVNTRY. On Sunday morning, accompanied by the Secretary of the B. P. U., we attended service at (he old rock church, known as the Jackson's Creek church. "We arrived there about eleven o'clock. Service was to commence * **-? _ ^ soon, ana we saw ?y me nuiuuei ui buggies- and familiar faces that there wonld be a fine congregation. On approaching the church we noticed that the building was an old-fashioned one, made almost entirely of rock. To the side was the graveyard, enclosed by a rock wall, and from the number of graves in this small enclosure one would suppose that they had been packed there. At half-past twelve service was called, and I noticed in the pulpit au old companion and schoolmate?the Rev. T. H-. Degraflcnreid. He took for his text the 46th verse of the 24th chapter of St. Matthew, which read as follows: "And cVioll cm into everlasting IUVOV WUHJ K gjV v?,T ? ? ? 0 punishment, bnt the righteous into life eternal." This was one of the finest sermons that I ever heard. The preacher seemed to feel every word that he spoke. He spoke first of the eternity of the soul, and then of the last and final reckoning of man?the Judgment Day. At one time by his eloquence X almost felt that I was there before that great Tribunal that all the world shall stand before. "Well may the people of Jackson's Creek be proud of such a preacher. They say that, "they like him next best to Mr. Mills?110 one can fill his place." After shaking hands with some of my friends, the Secretary proposed to me to go with him to see some voting ladies that he expected to be at church ?but failed to be there. He proposed that we should go and hunt them up. We left the old church, going over ro ngh roads, crossing the fine bridge that had been erected over Jackson's Creek, passing some couples on the road, and noticing a certain friend on his journey where his horse is fond of going. We soon fonnd ourselves in the neighborhood of Capt. J. P. Macfie's. There we met Misses Agnes and Mamie Rice, Jennie Lee and Helen McMaster, and Mamie Macfie. We also found onr friends the Grand High Chancellor and the Grind Mogul, with other bachelor friends. We found the evening very pleasant and we were so well pleased that we remained till next morning. We left this house, much to our regret, feeling that we would like toremain longer; and after an hour or two found ourselves back in town. High Cockolobem. OST THE W1SG. Some Very Pleasant and Profitable Church Meetings-Items of Interest. Messrs. Editors: Since my former communication my rambles "have been - " chiefly in the western portion of the county. I very unexpectedly fell in with my Baptist brethren at Kock Creek on Tuesday, Jaly 29, where their protracted meeting was in proPftTT \foccrfl_ gic?3?3j Wiiuuuigu %JJ V14V A?~f wv. vrw Vann and Bradford, assisted by Mr. Bnrgess of the Presbyterian Seminary. I heard two good sermons that day, and enjoyed quite a season of refreshing while worshipping with these good people. The singing was good, accompanied with the organ, performed by Mrs. Lyles and Miss McMahon. The following day (Wednesday) I found the Cool Branch congregation also engaged in a meeting, under the leaderership of the Rev. Messrs. Mellichamp and Mabon, by whose invitation I fell in with them and enjoyed the services very much. The singing was grand (there was no organ), and I think there were evidences of the presence of the Holy Spirit. Mr. J. F. V. Legg, who is a wide-awake and earnest worker in the Sabbath School, gave us a very sensible and edifying talk in the prayer-meeting at the opening of the services, from the first portion of the sixty-third chapter of Isaiah. The visible fruits of these two meetings were, at Hock Creek, two acces OiVUO IV/ IUV OUU1VU) UUU wu vwt JL/1UUVU six^two young ladies and four young gentlemen. How pleasant it Is to see our young people enlisting as soldiers of the Cross. After spending several nights among fricjids and relatives in the Feasterville country, I turned my course southward, and passing through the Jackson's. Creek section, called 011 some of my old friends and acqtiain- ! tances of former days. I found some of them quite old and feeble, and apparently nearing the celestial shore, . where . age and decrepitude are un- ] known. I find myself inclined to , give names, but will* not venture thus to tresnass ou vour time and space. For the information of some people, I 1 may say that on this route of five clays I saw near a dozen persons of both , sexes, whose average age is about four , score; and several of them are near uiuely. As to crops, the yield of wheat is above an average, nearly every one who planted making a fair crop and several making very large crops. There were threshed on Mr. Thos. Traylor'ss lands, I think, about eight hundred bushels, and Mr. Sam Stevr enson threshed from about eight ' acres more than two hundred, bushels. Tho nnts r.vnrt is not, so o-ood. excent in a few localities. Upland corn is fine, but branch and creek bottoms are almost a failure. Cotton on red lands that have been well cultivated is good, but there was too much rain in the spriug and early summer for sandy lands. After many long miles and weary hours of travel, I found myself at the mill of that energetic and enterprising young man, Mr. Dunlap, on Cedar ' Creek, where the Democrats of that ! community held their club meeting on Saturday afternoon, the 2nd of August, and gave several candidates the opportunity of ventilating. This club is composed of a fine body of men, and they are taking step6 to have a l\oi>Wna try fliA r?flJlf?idflteS will be invited. From thence I struck out for home, where I am at this writing with. wife and babes. So, for the present, adieu. J. August 4, 1884.
