Mr. Hendricks, connected with the revenue department, return ed Satu'day evening to his home in Pickens, from a nfost success ful raid among the illicit distill' ers in the upper counties of this state and across the Tugalo into Habersham county, Georgia. There were five officers in the posse, and during the week they captured seven "coppers." Near Lima,- in Greenville county, the officers received information of a moonshine distillery being op erated, and which they decided to break up. So about.12 o'clock Monday night, it being very dark, the officers were nearing the still, when suddenly a vol ley was turned loose upon them and bullets whistid around their ears. The fire' was returned and some thirty shots exchanged be fore the distillers retreated, leav ing a fine gun, which the offic ers captured. It is thought. the owner must havo been hit,' or he would not have dropped his weapon. None of the* officers were harmed, arid about 300 yards from the place of shooting they found and broke up a' large Illicit .still, but the ower had escaped. A short time before the reve que officers lef& a nide surrey they had hired hid in the bttsh es while they went after a still. But the moonshiners cut it to pieces with knives, and then dragging the vehicle tA ' brush pile, burned i1 up. With the advent of cold* wea ther illicit distillers ay eported as very active, and thVare fir. ing up all thog M ut ainst even our own cX)yhav f its share df moon3h stille.

They all had stopped out of a shower of rain in a cotton-house, and while there the gun'was ac cidentally discharged, the con tents penetratiig his left thigh, and he bled to death in a few minutes, Robert was a good and obedient boy and was loved by all who knew him. HIis death has caused much sadness, throughout this community ahd elsewhere. He leaves an affec tionate father, a devoted mother, one brother and one sister to mourn his death.. On the fol lowing dhy his remains were laid to rest in the Six Mile cen etery. The funeral services were condlucted in a very impressive manner by Rev. B.' C. Atkinson.

EASLEY, Oct. 24.-A man by the name of John Hughes be came rowdy .aftor drinking too much Whisky yesterday at Lib erty and shot his sister, Mrs. Hunter. She is still alive, but her recovery is doubtful. A po licenan went to arrest Hughes, when the latter ran into his sis ter's house to get a pistol to shoot the officer. Mrs. Hunter tried tQ prevent him and he shot her. We copy the above dispatch.' Investigation shows that the shooting was purely accidental. Sheriff Jennings went to Liberty and arrested John Hughes, who is now in jail. Mr. Jennings tells us that Hughes went to his sister's house and attempted to take a pistol from the mantle, which her husband, seeing that he was drinking, attempted to wrest from hiln. In the scuffle the pistol was twice fired, the seQond time the bullet entering the forehead of Mrs. -Hunter, who was standing just behind, and inflicting what it is feared to be a fatal wound. The un fortunate shooting was purely accidental, and not intentional. Killing of Abe Dill. The evidcnce taken at the in quest over the body of Abraham Dill, thb Well-known citizen of Saluda'township, who was shot and killed at his home last Sat urday moning, was received by Clerk of Court McDaniel yester day.
