Editors: I have always I thought that farmers were as much | entitled to the '-'grand old name of ; gentleman" as any other class of [ citizens. In the olden days, the name ! of fanner was the synonym of honor and courtesy, but, the treatment Gens. Hampton and Bratton and Col. Youmans received at Aiken, Laurens and Ridgevray brings the flush of shame to my cheeks, and I feel constrained to exclaim, "Oh! Liberty, and, such deeds are done in thy name." It savors more of the days of the French Revolution, than of a meeting of Caro unians 10 cousiaer ine merits ox caurndates for the gubernatorial chair. In listening to the harsh criticism so prevalent nowadays, it is difficult to realize that some of them are the professed followers of the Lord Jesus who laid down the ""'Golden Rule" for their guidance. Oh! for a shower of God's grace to eliminate all bitterness from the hearts of the people, and incline them to follow the things that make tor peace. peace. THE CLUBS WILL TAKE NOTICE. 1.

Editors: One day last week ( one of the most horrible and revolting i deaths on record occurred in our ' neighborhood. About two months ago I was called on to marry a couple, ' Mr. Dan Holland, a widower of about mirl/llo onil "\fi?e f!hn.T?nfilL II O'irl ' of about seventeen, a daughter of the late James Chappell, of Newberry. This young bride, one day last week, went to see her mother some six or ^ eight miles from Holland's. She rode i in one of the improved carts, no one j with her except a negro woman. In i the afternoon she set. out for home, ' and had gone perhaps two-thirds of the way when, seeing a cloud coming 1 up, she cut the horse with the whip, and about the same instant a rough place in the road gave the cart a jolt, ^ and threw her out. The negro woman j in trying to catcli her fell o'ut also. Mrs. Holland's foot in the fall became strangely entangled in some way so that it could not get loose, her head j hanging down about to the ground. i - i j _ J .if _ J 1 ne norse Kept on ironing, una caxncu i her over a half-mile in tliis condition to the next house, (Mrs. Paynes) where lie went into the yard and stopped. Of coursc she was dead, her : bodv divested of clothing, was black ( and swollen to near twice its size one of her ears was gone and lias not been found; of a wliite apron she had on only a small pieco of the border could 1-- -C- i +l,n J UiS JAHUiU.

Whether she broke her nock in the fall or whether j' the; skull had been broken by some j rock or stump I have not learned. : There are conflicting statements about j I this horrible death. The body was j not taken home, but was taken from ; ? j Mrs. Paynes the next day, and buncd at a neighboring church. I learn that ^ though the negro -was not entangled in j the fall she is not expected to recover from it.

Her unselfishness and regard : for others was a beautiful trait in her ' character ;to her no self-sacrifice seemed , too great when made to contribute to the comfort or happiness of some loved one; her happiness was the happiness of those she loved. Amiable, kind, j gentle, thoughtful, a'I who knew her loved her, and her untimely death is mourned by a host of friends* In the family circle the wife was the devoted companion and helpmate and the mother became the confidential and j; beloved friend, sympathizer and ad- j viser.
