Eaikroad Accidents.?The northbound passenger train was derailed a short distance below BIytbewood by a broken rail on "Wednesday. The firstclass passenger coach and the sleeper both careened slightly to the i-idc, but rested on the track. Zsone of the passengers were injured, although there were many on board the passenger coach. Only the conductor and porter were on the sleeper. The track could not be repaired in time for the sourn-ooana pu^se iii^er, uia n uiucici train was on hand to convey passengers 0:1 their way. Important Notice.?As has been previously announced to the public, Mr. Reynolds will seve:* his connection with this paper on December 31st. In order that the business of the present linn may be settled, it is absolutely necessary that all indebtedness to the; paper shall be satisfactorily arranged before that date. There are a !arge number of delinquent subsubscribers on the books, whom we urgently request to come up and settle. Of course this notice does not apply to regular contract advertisements which do not expire until the 1st of January. Gors*g wf.st.?We learn from a gentleman who was in town on Monday, that agents are busy at work in the western section of the county getting up crowds of negroes to go West. Some of those agents are colored men who went ont ec-veral years ago, and have coine back to induce others of their race to try the great West. It has, howover, leaked out that these men are simply regular employed agents, and do not represent the laboring class on the Western farms. A large number of colored people have j signified their willingness to go, and I will leave as soon as arrangements can i be made for their their transportation. The Fikst Shad of the Seaso>*.? i We return oar most hearty thanks to j Mr- F. W. Iiabenicht for a most excelj lent dish of fresh shad, which he rej ceived on Friday.

One providing that at the close of each term of the Court of Sessions, i the Clerk of Court shall notify the i superintendent of the penitentiary of the number of convicts for transportation, and upon this no'ifijati' n the superintendent is required to send a fuard and transport the prisoners to the penitentiary without cost to the county. The other provides for a redaction of the fee for dieting prisoners from thirty to twenty-five cents per day. It seems that they are going to have prisoners fed very pooriv, or that they are going to pay very poorly for their management by the Sheriff. ? ? * ? ~ 1 ^ ^ Lien JUaav.?l tie diu ior a repeat us the Liew Law came up for consideration recently, and war. defeated by an overwhelming majority. Our Representatives should be congratulated upon the view which they took of the matter. A repeal of the law at this time would have been a serious blow to the farmers of the State. While ic is not such a security as one would desire, it enables the man of moderate means to obtain at least the necessities of life. There were only twentyseven votes cast in favor of its repeal, j and these were distributed among the avocations of life as follows: fanners j 14, lawyers 7, physicians 3, preacher j 3. The vote from counties was very scuf[criiiii; uui was inusnv wiiuubu iu the upper portion of the State. ! PARROT AND MONKEY! SPECIAL DRIVE!!

The Xmas Tree.?We announced several days since that the Xmas tree, under the auspices of the ladies of town, would be at the Thespian Hall. This arrangement has since been changed, and the entertainment will be held at Boag's. Opera House. The ladies of town have taken this matter in hand, and held a meeting on Monday afternoon at which final arrangements were perfected. Santa Claus, dressed in the apparel with which children ave familiar, will be there, the delight of all young hearts and old ones too. He will distrimte a handsome present to every one. The proceeds will go to the Mount Zion piano fund, and as the admission price' is only twenty-live, cents, which includes a ticket for a prize?and 110 blanks ? everybody should attend. ?Finest Apples, Largest Cocoannts, I Largest Oranges, Finest and Cheapest Candies and Nuts, Best Bananas, and the best of everything for Christmas at Mrs. Henderson's. * A Rougii Wixter.-?Prof. Proctor, a weather prophet of Iowa, sometime since predicted that we are 1o have a j rough winter, and so far. the start is i good. The Professor says: To be j forewarned is almost equal to being j i well armed. Following the drouth j will be a long, cold, stormy winter, with a large amount of snow. There ; | will be some beautiful weather bej tween this and the middle of Decem! ber, and then, for at least three months : ] extreme cold and snow blockades. Of j course the cold will not be continuous, . j but during all this long period there will be general thaw, as we often have the last of January or in February. Such winters always cause great suf-j fering to man and beast, and the wise j will provide plenty of fuel, repair! their dwellings and prepare good j shelter- for slock. We foratold the: great drough of this year many months : before it commenced, and the forces; that control the drouth also control; the winters as to their severity or' I mildness. There is no superstition, j no guess-work, no astrology about! these predictions, but the calculations j are made from what is known of the laws of nature, and if mistakes occur it is from miscalculations, as in any other mathematical problem. Their Business Booming. Probably no one thing has caused such a general revival of trade at McAIastt^ Brice & Ketchin's store as their giving away to their customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption.

The services were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Wood row. Some stanzas of the hymn, "I would not live alway" were sung, after which the Rev. Dr. Jordan offered a prayer. Dr. Wood-1 row then read several appropriate | passages from the Holy Scriptures, j after which he delivered a short address, touching upon the qualities which made him valued in life and lamented in death. The exercises closed with a prayer by Dr. Wood- ; row, followed with the benediction.

In last week's issue we published an account of the brutal murder of a little boy, John Lee Goode, in York county, by four negroes. Developments have brought to light a serious condition of j affairs in the Broad River section of that county. It seems that there has: been a cla?.0? club organized in that section of the county, under the name of the "Rising StaV Lodge, No. 34, of the Grand United Order of National \ Laborers and Protection Society of jj North America." The avowed pur-1 pose of the Lodge referred to is pltin-1 der, and if necessary murder to their jj crime of plunder. The facts as we are j able to gather them, are about as fol- i lows: The jury of inquest in investi- j! gating the murder of the little boy j found out certaiu facts which led them to believe that there was some secret' organization in the county, whose j movements should be investigated. ^ A close examination of the four negroes who were lodged in jail on the charge of murdering the little boy, led to a confession of one of the namber, which implicated all in jail and quite a nnmber in the county. One of j the rules of the Order was to kill any S one who detected them in their crimes, and this rule caused them to murder the little boy, as he had caught them stealing his father's cotton. The members were around, and one of them related the entire circumstances of the I! - .. . .i billing of Goode, and an effort wnicft ;; had been made to waylay a gentleman j on the road and assassinate him, be- * cause one the number had seen him at a store with some money. Fortunate-1 ly his horse was frightened near the [ spot where he was to have been killed and he passed before they could accomplish their hellish purpose. This statement is corroborated by the man himself as to his horse being frightened, and othercircumstancec. Twenty- ' J six of the number have been arrested \ ! and lodged in jail. On Tuesday au j j armed body of about one hundred men j rode into Yorkville undisguised, with j the determination of lynching the four i negroes charged with the murder of the little bvy, after the confession of one of their number stating the circumstance*;, btet Sheriff Glenn had learned of the proposed raid and had sent the six prisoners then lodged in j jail, by way of Gastonia to Columbia - * J for safe keeping, ine crotvu emcreu the jail and after search and a full statement that they were not there, lsft without, accomplishing their purpose. The six prisoners in charge of au officer passed down on the south-bound train on Thursday en route to Columbia. The full facts as brought out by confession and examination by the | jury of inquest, reveal an alarming state of affairs in the county. As much as we are opposed to mob law, we caunot but feel a slight regret that the crowd who entered the jail, with a determined purpose, did not find the objects of thoir search.
