Anything from a side of bacon to the finest Florida oranges, and extra California raisins will be supplied by him and at lowest prices. They Didn't Go.?A special dispatch from Rock Hill to the Neics and Courier on Tuesday, gives an account of a cruel imposition which has recently been practiced upon the negroes of York and Lancaster counties. The nlan of the asrent who has been stir ring them up is said to be about as follows: He has been inducing the negroes to sell their property and go to Liberia, and for a consideration presented each one with a red badge and ticket, which he said would take them to New York and they would there be supplied with a steamer to carry them away. A special train, he told them, would pass up the road on Monday to carry the About three hundred and twenty-five eolored people have become victims of the swindle, | and at last accounts were waiting at i Fort Mills for the boss man and special ] train. Our colored friends should ? take warning. Attempted Murder.?Last Sunday a negro named Bill Hamilton made a desperate attempt to shoot Mr. W. B. Powell. Mr. Powell and Mr. Shields Gladney went to the country on Sunday, and stopped at Mr. Powell's house. As they were about to leave the house the negro was seen to cross the yard with a large club in Ms hand. Mr. Powell had previously warned the negro to keep off his place. He again spoke to him and emphatically ordered him away." Soon afterwards they left the house in a buggy. They had not gone far before they saw a negro run ning through the woods with a gun. It proved to be Bill Hamilton. He ran and intercepted them in the road. He said: "Now I've got you," and with that raised his gun and snapped twice at them, but it failed to fire. But for this circumstance he would undoubtedly have been killed. The uegro immediately fled, and up to this time has eluded the officers. The negro has since been captured. A Daring Robberry.?A bold robbery was committed at Rockton on the night of "Wednesday last, the sufferer being Major T. W. Woodward. While absent in Columbia attending :he sessions of the General Assembly, ais store was entered and there was stolen therefrom $10 in postage stamps, five overcoats, several pairs of fine blankets, one hundred pounds of flour md several pairs of fiue shoes. The ;hief or thieves tried to euter, it seems, irst by way of the back window, bat t proved to strong and they failed. Then a successful attempt was made jy way of the door, it being boldly mattered in with a convenient railroad 3ar. Near the gin-house was a bale of ;otton marked "T. W. "VYV which was jarried away. The parties evidently intended to set fire to the premises, and ;hus cover up the crime, for the furnace )f the engine was disturbed aiid evidence showing in raking over the ;oals, but in this they' failed. The Qoise was heard some distance away, but it was not attributed to the real jause. This was indeed a bold robbery. Is it not about time that ali lonest men should band together for ihe apprehension of such like offenders in this county? Deaths.?News reached us Wednesday of the death of Mr. David Hollis, :>ne of the oldest citizens ol the neighborhood, which occurred at his home cear Flint Hill on Monday last. Mr. Hollis had been i? declining health for some time caused perhaps from old age, as he had passed his four-score. He was one of the oldest citizens of the county, and up until a short while of bis death was noted for his remarkable memory, and bis possession of a number of Revolutionary relics. Among the number being a gun carried by hll father at the battle of Kills' Mouutaiu in 1781. He leaves a host of friends and relatives who mourn his death.

Am I correct in my conclusion? As it is a ! matter of some interest to the people of the State, however small, I would like to have your written opinion on the subject before proceeding further. Your early reply to this matter will greatly oblige, Yours truly, W. Z. Leitner, Secretary of State. To this the Secretary received the following answer: Hon. ~W. Z. Leitner, Secretary of State?Sir: I am directed by the Attorney General ic say that "he has examined the law in relation to fees to be charged for commissions, and finds the amount to be three and 21-100 dollars.

At its meeting, December 18, the Clariosophic Society of the South Carolina College passed the following resolutions by a rising vote: "Whereas, we have learned of the death r ivrre "PT Prnxr an alumnus of the VI VV/i* M. - t Clariosophic Society: be it resolved, as a tribute to his memory: 1st. That in his death we recognize the loss of one who from his earliest connec-1 tion with the Society reflected honor and [ renown upon her name. j 2d. That the Society deplores his loss as j that of a friend zealously devoted to her j interests, and will ever remember his emi-1 nent-services to her, esteeming his life as ! one of the brightest pages in her history. 3d. That we respectfully offer our sympathy to his family. 4th. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to his family, and that they be published in the Charleston News ana Courier, the Winnsboro News and Herald and in the South Carolina Collegian. W. W.

J On the day previous to his de f*th, he' celebrated at his home with family and some honored friends, the anniversary of j his wedding-just before dinner he had; secretly arranged a splendid set of silver service, as au offering of affection to the true-hearted and affectionate partner of his joy and sorrow?during the Ion;; period of thirty-five years. Playfully bli ad-folding his. wire, he led the processio n to the dining-hall where the magnificent .gift was disclosed to the surprise of the party. Inftr.ediately after didner he and hi 5 family physician rettred to his study and Lighting their cigars, he began to show the doctor some curious specimens under a superb microscope with which he was accustomed to study the secrets of nature, and to amuse his friends. Suddenly he was seiziii with a violent pain in the region of th<> heart. The doctor was at a loss to account for the attack when the Colonel said, "Angina Pectoris. I shall be dead before morning." He was immediately carried to his bed and his physician used all the applica{tions of medicine to mitigate his pains. In | two or three hours he, with calm, Christian j fortitude, discussed with his family, and deI livered charges to each one present, and sent messages of love to the absent. He described the contents of his will, and the reasons that governed him. He selected the Rev. Dr. "Woodrow to preach his funeral sermon, and enjomea tnat vmy ULLC hymn, "I would not live alway," be sung at the church. At one o'clock he became unconscious and died three o'clock, a. m., 12th instant. His sudden death, which surprised all his friends, seems to have been calmly contemplated by himself, and the incidents that preceded it illustrated the remarkable characteristics of his life. Thus died James H. Rion, the true patriot, the accomplished scholar, 'the astute lawyer, the noble soldier, the devoted friend, the affectionate husband and father, the humble Christian, whose works of charity descended like dew on the poor throughout and beyond the bounds of this State. Blessed be the memory of such a man; long will the State mourn his loss. "Take him all in all. we shall ne ver look upon his like again." The Board of Trustees of the South Carolina University, of which he has been a conspicuous member ever since the restoration of good govern {mont in the state, is indebted to him for , ' the untiring and the efficient service he has rendered to the College. With notable j punctuality he has attended nearly every meeting of the Board and the Executive Committee on -which he was always detailed. At every called meeting of the Board and the Executive Committee, regardless of expense and time, he promptly appeared at his post and gave his valuable service of mind and labor to every project which contributed to the advancement of his Alma Mater. A graduate of the class of 1850 he took ; the first honor over a competitor who was j one of the most brilliant young men that ever passed through the institute. The contest for the last year between them was so close as to excite the enthusiasm of the uoiiege, ana extenuea mrouguoui, wc State. But notwithstanding the partisan feeling excited, young Kion was calm, erect and well-poised during the whole struggle, and never deviating from the course he prescribed for himself. When he entered college he promptly extinguished his student lamp each night at ten o'clock. From the time of his graduation to his death he manifested the same heroic spirit he has ever shown in all the duties and multiplied experiences of his life. Beside His services on the Board of Trustees, it is believed that he lias done many benefactions to poor students, which will never be revealed. However, it is well known that be has established a scholarship in the Clariosophic Society, of which he was a member. In honor of his legal attainments and devotion to education, two years ago the degree of LL.D. was conferred on him by Davidson College, and last spring, in honor of his labors in behalf of this College, one of the scholarships in this College was named the Rion Scholarship.

UC<3,ULl \JL VUV/ ou AwiA.uAM.vM. v.v . map ef such truth, honor and sterling integrity, and so much beloved, is a sad calamity to the College; therefore, be it resolved by the Board of Trustees of the South Carolina University: l That in the death of James H. Rion the Board deplores the loss of one of its most useful members. As a patriot, scholar, lawyer, a just man and upright iio a- loss to the State and nation, i UV *wr .v ? Many a poor student will venerate his memory, and his numerous friends will lament "his decease. But above all, sad as is the loss to the friends and the public, inconsolable is the sorrow of the noble, refined and devoted wife, who has for thirty-five years supported, sustained and cheered him, in his briiliant and honored pathway through life, and grief-stricken are the dear sons and daughters on whom he has lavished the treasures of his heart and purse. 2.
