A CARD FROM THE LOCAL EDITOR. J
Uiider the caption, "Wholesale >
Dncking," we mentioned the fact that
forty-eight negroes were baptized a few
Sundays ago at their new Baptist
Church. It has reached ortr ears that
this heading caused a grievance in the <
minds of some *f the members of ihe '
white Baptist Church. For this we ;
are truly sorry, and there was no re- (
flection meant in the expression, to 3
them nor to the members ot the col- ]
ored church either. We certainly '
would not b? guilty *f such an act,
and regret that such an expression
was used.
DEATH OF A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER.

Mr. J. Wesley Wooten died at his
home, near Blythewood, on Tuesday.
He had been suffering with pulmonary
trouble for some time and the end was
not unexpected. Mr. Wooten was a
cc-Avfhv and reliable citizen, a plain,
straight forward, honest man. He
wa3 a member of Co. G, of the noted
Sixth South Carolina Regimeat during
the war, and was as good a soldier in
war as he was a citizen in peace. He '
leaves a wife and several children, to
whom we extend our sympathies in
this sore bereavement.

cotton to foreign ports, and they desire

says that he regards the prospect good
for a crop; that cotton is small, but is
healthy-looking and is not hurt yet.
He reDorts that Mr. Samuel Cathcart,
at Adder's, has the best cottan that he
has seen in South Carolina, unless it
might be Mr. Aycock'i:, at Wedgefield.
He has not seen Mr. Aycock's in a
week, and it is possible his might be
better than Mr. Cathcarl's, but Mr.
Cathcart's is the best so far.

to Maj. T. W. Woodward, and says he
will retarn in about a week or ten
days to visit ':he Major. He has never
met him.

Gc L. I. IX COURT OF INQUIRY.
The following is the testimony taken;
and opinion by the court of inquiry:
concerning the Gordon Light Infantry
at the time of the Darlington trouble:
As to the conduct of the officers and
men composing the Gordon Light Infantry,
that Capt. \V. G. Jordan, commanding
said r.oinpany, did, on the
31st day of March, receive a telegram
from the Govenier, as commander in
chief, directing mm topuims company
nnder arm* and to report to him the
number of men; that upon receiptor
said telegram he ordeie.l his company
to assemble, but before manv ?-f them
had done so he countermanded said
;>rder of his own volition and without
conference of *n> of the officers or
men of his company. That upon being
ordered by the Governor to report
with his command at Columbia he
neglected and refused to order his
company so to do, or even to assemble.
That he sent two telegrams to
:he Governor :$s captain of said company
-wirhout conference with or the j
>nn?>nt nf his officers or men. That
u? officer or member of his company
received any order on the 31st day of 1
March from Capt. Jordan or anyone
jlse, except the aforesaid order to as- ]
semble at the armory, which wa? countermanded.
As to the conduct of the Gordon 1
Light Infant!)*: That Capt. W. G. <
Jordan, commanding the Gordon Light i
[nfantry, was guilty of premeditated
Jisobedience ef orders from the commauder-in-chicf
on the 31st of M?rch '
ind is solely responsible for the failure '
3f said company to go to Columbia as j
jrdercd. That "no other officer or any (
jf the Gordou Light Infantry were
?ui!ty of conduct unbecoming an offi
ler or Soulier. ,

Flixt Hill, June 16.?The condition
of the crops in this section is
about as good as conld be expected,

there being no rain of any consequence
since the oth of May. Only two light
showers have fallen since (on the 7th
and 24th of May.) Both crops, cotton
and corn, would make well, if we get
a good rain soon, followed by season

brought into Court. This case has
been in Court since February 28, 1893.
They were convicted of murder at that
term and sentenced br Judge Wallace
to be hanged on Friday, the 9in day of
June, 1893. The attorneys for the
Atkinsons, Ragsdale & Ragsc'ale and
J. G. AlcCanH, Esq., fought with untiring
zsal for their clients. They
carried the case to the Supreme Court,
but it refused to grant a motion for a
n??r friQ 1 Thp remittitur was not
| handed back to the Circuit Court in
time fer theua to be seutenced at the
February term, so they hare been
waiting in jail for the June term. The
Jadge, in his remarks, told them that
he was not familiar with the circumstances
of the case and for them not to
put too much faith in executive clemencp,
but advised tbem that they had
belter prepaie themselves to meet the
execution of their sentence.
Their attorneys circulated two petiot
/UffUront tim^s. whinh hare
never yet been laid before the Governor.
When the first one was going
around for signatures a counter petition
was gotten up asking the Governor
not to interfere in the process of the
law, but to allow the sentence ?f ftie
Court to stand. This petition, we
understand, has been sent to the Governor.
It remains to be seen what
action the Governor will take in the

John Atkiuson broke out of jail one
evening about 5 o'clock, and Jasper
was at the window ready lo swing
down on a blanket, but was seen and
ordered to stop or ba shot. John got
as far as Mr.Gerig's garden, but was
shot at twice and gare up. There was
quite a party of citizens at the passenger
depot at the time and his escape
was impossible and in all probability he
would have been shot to death had he
gotten out on the track where it
seemed he was makiug for.
The prisonere were placed in the
dock and the Solicitor moved that a
new day of execution be appointed.
The prisoners sat quietly and almost
motionless. Jasper displayed not the
slightest emotion. John was also very
cool, but there was a slight fumbling
of the hands, just the least bit. The
Clerk read the indictment and the
usual form of law stating the history
of the case as it passed through all the
channels of the law. The question
wa3 then put to the prisoners to show
fvuise. if there wa^ anv. why a new
day for the executi?n of the sentence
of the Court should be set. The reply
came in clear tones.. "Nothing more
than has been shown already." The
Judge expressed the awful seriousness
and solemnity, and in the following
language proceeded to set the day:
"It being solemnly demanded of the
said John and Jasper Atkinsons, prisoners
at the bar, if they have anything
to say why the Court should not
proceed to award execution of the said
Jndrrn?<?r?<- aorairiRt them and assism a
w
new day of execution of said sentence
heretofore imposed, say nothing unless
as they have before said; therefore
it is considered by the Court, and
it is the judgment of the Court, that
execution be done* upon the said
John Atkinson's person and Jasper
Atkinson's person at tho bar according
to the said judgement, and. that they
be taken hence to the place whence
last they came and there kept in close
I and safe custody until Friday, the
17th day of August next, audi that on
said Friday between the hours of
10 in the morning and 2 m tfae evening
they be taken to the place for the
execution of criminals in this county
and there be hanged by the neck until
their bodies be dead; and may God
have mercy on their souls.
EDMUNDS-BOYD.
The marriage ef Mr. J. Spann Edmunds
and Miss Marlon Boyd, both
of Eidgeway, which took placo on
last Wednesday evening, was one 01
the most prominent events in the
society of that beautiful little town
daring the present year. The Baptist
Church had been most profusely decorated
with evergreens, wild flowers,
and pot plants, and presented a fascinating
and brilliant effect. The great
display of flowers and the exquisite
taste in their arrangement showed the
great interest in the occasion, and
attested the popularity of the contracting
parties.
At nine o'clock a beautiful march
was begun 011 the organ by Mrs. Blair,

"Fell as soft a? ihe snow on the sea

And the passionate strain that deeply

Hefined the bosom it trembled through,
As the musk-wind, oyer the water
blowing,
Ruffles the wave, but sweetens it too!"
With its steadfast pace, up either

Mr. W. D. Douglass, came in simultaneously
with the bride and her maid

at the large arch, the groom joined his
lovely bride and they took their position
under a most lovely star suspended
from the centre of the arch, and were
then made husband and wife. The

handsome lace and bows of white
ribbon, corsage bouquet of exquisite
water lilies with their long yelvety
stems, veil of tulle, falling partly over
the face, and held in place with a silver

STROTHEB NOTES.
An Appeal for the Organization of Croqaet
and Literary CJnbs?Picnic at Blairs?School
Notes.
Strother, S. C., Jane 16.?It is
very probable that a lack of news has
I bean the cause of silence from thi8
section of the County. This neighborhood
is rather uninteresting at
present?only a picnic now and then
to relieve the dullness of the times.
We hope later there will be more
amusements. If the "young folk"
would get up croquet clubs or something
of the sort, how nice it would
, be! Even a literary society would be
agreeable, at the same time improving.
If more attention were paid to education,
society would certainly become
pleasant. As it is, sociability at
least could be produced by frequent j
visiting, it we would noi oe semsn,
and go to sec our friends ofteuer, perhaps
the spirit of friendship would
supercede that of (?) enmity which
sometimes prevails among neighbors.
The writer does not mean to be critical,
but only ventures to express an
opinion with which we hope some will
coincide, or at least not criticise.
Now about the news of the neighborhood.
There was a picnic at Blairs
on the 9th inst. gotten up for the
benefit of Salem (JJinrcii. '-'lie writer
did not attend, but from accounts the
day was generally enjoyed by those
present. Ice cream and lemonade
were the chief attractions; and the
committee was repaid for trouble,
&c., by realizing a good little sum of
money. The Baptists are thinking of
having a picnic on the Fourth of July
at "Chappell Spring" which is about a
mile from Rock Creek Church, and
which is a delightful, shady place.
We hope the Fourth will be a pleasant

successfully.
Crops here would be good, if we
could only have raiu. Gardens are
looking badly on account of the dry
weather, without that obstacle they
would be splendid.
The sun has not been shining brightly
for several days, and there is a
smoky appearance all around, which
cannot be accounted for unless it is an
indication of rain. "We hope this is
the case and that ere. a week elapse
we will no longer have reason to exclaim
"dry weather!" JKnowing that
God is wise in all his dealings, we
should endeavor not to grumble,
though some trials are hard. It is a
great pity that fruit is so scarce;
housekeepers are at a loss how to prepare
for winter. However, blackberries
are plentiful, and it is to be
supposed that nearly everyone will
take advantage of the" supply and go
fannincr.
All the schools about here have
closed, with the exception of the one
at Monticello, which is a pay school.
A few of the Clomson boys will
come to their homes around here sometime
in July. Many of them will
probably spend their holidays near
Spartanburg where they will encamp.
Wishing success to The News ajto
Herald which is always received by
us with eagerness, we will no longer
tresspass on your time. e. >r. r.

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT.
To his Honor T. B. Frascr, Presiding
4/CtU-yC..
The grand jury for the present term
beg leave to make the following report: ,
We respectfully recommend that the
County Commissioners examine and
repair'the bridge near Timms' place on
the Kiucaid road, and that the causeway
be widened at Jackson Creek,
near the foot of McNaull's hill. We
recommend the removal of two rocks
near Dr. Linder's old residence on the
Dutchman Creek road, and that the
gnllv bridge near N. A. Peak's be re- I
paired. i
We call attention the County Commissioners
to the fact that a report has 1
reached us that Wm. Stewart, overseer !
on a section of Dutchman's Creek
road, has applied for tools and has
failed to get them, and the road is in i
bad lix. We recommend that tools be :
lumisueu.
We appointed a special committee
and an expert to examine the books
and records of all public tffices and
finil ihem, after careful examination, ,
to be properly kept with proper vouchers
on baud. We regard the bonds of ,
officers valid and responsible. We
recommend the payment of $15 for the (
services of the expert in the examina- <
tion. '
We find the Jail in a neat and cleanly
condition, and the building to be
secure.
' We wish to call attention to the
waste of money caused by failare to .
use the books of former officialssome
of them not being used more
than one-tourih of the entire book.
We recommend the use of books of a
former offijial by his &u;ce*sor in office.
The committee repor;ing on the condition
of the Poor Uonse, submit the
following: Number of inmates?8
white': and 11 colored; 13 hogs on
