that the water contains mineral properties.

who claim to have been greatly benefitted
by it want to have the water
analyzed so as .to find oat what mineral

TOM HILL CAUGHT
Saturday night the southbound train
brought down a man whom the .town
has wanted for some lime, and one
whom the citizens have made several
attempts to take. Tom Hill is a dangerous
negro, of whom the negroes as
well as the white people were afraid.
He is supposed to be the negro who
en monw Kml/"?in(r? flrrtriTld
DUl UU IV ow Uivtu v ut\aa. >v??i<n?
town within the pa-t few months, and
seems to be possessor of all black arts.
Tom is capahlr nf appearing and disappearing
p 'gic, and had he
not 4bee.. . ;>'ug from behind
the bars on kAif4.Uay morning. people
would yet lliink bim able to hide
away again. We think, however,
that he is where he will rest easy now.
Had Tr?m been caught when the exei'.en
ris so high, he no doubt
won . >5 been sentenced and executed
w. Judge^Lynch, bat we hope
and !>< " ve that the law will now be
allow .! to take its coarse. There
seems to be strong evidence against
bim, especially in tne attempted DurningofMr,
M. H. Mobley's house. If
he is convicted, he will of coarse go
by the rope route, and in short while
be gathering woodbine on the banks
of the styr.
Tom was ve^v much afraid of being
lynched when e arrived at the depot,
and it was quite difficult to get him
out of the traiu. Ke was caught by
Mr. W. J. McCarley at the G. C. & N.
crossing at Chester. No particulars
of his capture can be authoratively obtained.
Mr. McCarley will receivc
the reward of one hundred and seventy
dollar?. O.ie hundred by the State,
fifty by the town, and twciity by the
county.
DOES IT PAY TO BUT CHEAP?
A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want aomathinsr
that will relieve and cure the
more tcvere and daugerous results of
throat and lung troubles. What ?hall
y*u do? Go to a warmer and more
regular climate? Yes, if possible; if
not possible for you, then in either
case take the only remedy that has
been introduced in all civilized conntries
with success in severe throat acd
lung troubles, "Boscbee'a Germau
Syrup." It not only heals aud stimulates
the tissues to destroy the ger n
disease, butallaya inflammation, causes
easy expectoration, gives a good
nijjht'd rest, and cures the patient.

A LYNCHING THREATENED.
Considerable excitement prevailed
on the streets on Tuesday over the report
that.Ed. Baliard, a mulatto boy
about 18 or IS years of a*,e had attempted
to assaull a Miss Shuster, who
was stopping at the Winnsboro hotel
with her brother-in-law and sisier,
Mr. and Mrs. Ely. Several people
heard the young lady scream about
5 o'clock in the morning, and Chief of
Police Gilbert identified Ballard as
the boy that he saw running from the
hot?l, Mr. Gilbert shot at the running
boy, but did not succeed in
catching him then. The^boy who came
out of the hotel is said to have run in
a northerly direction. Ballard was
found a short time afterwards at the
passenger depot, where he claimed
that he slept all night. The young
lady identified him as her assailant,
and he was lodged in jail. Sheriff
T<!lli?An fparincr a. lvnphino" decided fo
? j ? D
take the boy to Columbia for safekeeping,
and accordingly slipped bim
out of the back yard of the jail and
put him in charge of Deputy Sheriff
S. B. Crawford, who carried the prisoner
to Rockton. A party went in
search of the negro, and found Mr. \
Crawford with him in the road near
I
Rockton. They took the negro from J
Mr. Crawford, aud awaited the ar- J
rival of Mr. Ely. About this time a <
gentleman from Rock Hill appeared ;
accidently cn the ground, and ap- ,
prcaching Mr. ISly asked bim if he .
a. f J3 J5 A - 1 T*~
naa not oeen oruerea to leave xiutb.
Hill, and he admitted that such was
the fact, While the party were not
disposed to pass judgment upon the
character of the lady, yet it was .
finally decided in view of the tact that (J
those mostly concerned were perfect !
strangers in Winnsboro farther in- (
vestigation should be made before the ,
negro's life should be taken. Another ,
fact that deterred the crowd was that (
the brother-in-law refased to pull the !
rope, though he seemed perfectly Willi
Dg that others should take this re- .
sponsibility. The prisoner was
brought back to Winnsboro, ar.d re- |
delivered to the sheriff and he is now
in jail. The would-be-lynchers acted (
with coolness. They 6imply concluded
that the case^deserved further investigation,
and it is likely that the esse

prescribed by Jaw.
On Thursday morning the negro, i
Ed Ballard, who wa3 accused of crimiually
assaulting Miss Shuster at the
Winnsboro Hotel, was brought before
Magistrate Cathcart for a preliminary
hearing. There were no prosecuting
witnesses appearing, so the magistrate J
dismissed the case for lack of ev:dence.
A short while after the negro was
discharged, a erowd caught him and i
taking him out of town severely 1
whipped him with a buggy trace and
warned him against ever appearing in
or around Winnsboro again. He has ;
not been seen since.

Thirty-nine rears ago to-day onr
part of tie Confederate army in forenoon
were on the cars going up to the
battle of SJauassas. On our arriving
there about noon we heard the cannon
of the battle. Oar quartermaster gave
us socnc cooked meat and we got ofl
to the fight as soon as we could. We
saw a man on horseback with a dead i
man across before him. and met our
Gen. Wade Hampton with scars in his
face, but with an undaunted look of
the brave, aud he said to us, "Go on,
boys, but we have got them routed."
We got to the battle field a few hours
after it was over.
We are needing rain no w very much.

mention thatCapt. \Vm. J. Clowney i

is a cripple, unable to plow. I was'
with him every time he was wounded. <
tie was a border raffiau in the Kansas j

soldier has a belter record for cooless

the late Confederacy should give him
all 1 be aid in their power, now that
the time has come when he would accept
