a nico little estate valued at $5,000,000
to bis wifo. The estate is com
prised of beautiful grounds, on

and beanty of the grounds very
much. A $200,COO church, fur
workmen on the estate, was erected
under her direction. It is ornately
embelished with everything
that correct taste backed by an
open pocketbook could furnish.
Among the mo6t enviable features

A Man Killed by Lightning?A
correspondent writes us from
Camden, August 3, as follows:
"The hearts of our people wrce
gladdened to-day by one of the
finest rains wo have had this year,
but before it closed there was
very heavy thunder and lightning
and a fierce storm which did considerable
damage. -A white man
named John Love, who resided
abont six miles from :own was
killed by lightning. lie was overtakened
by the storm and with
liis wife took refuge under a large
oak tree. The lightning struck
and killed him instantly. His
wife, although close beside him,
was uninjured, and there was no
damage done to the tree. A curi
ous incident in connection with
the affair is the conduct of the
wife. After the storm subsided,
the woman jumped inlo their
wagon and drove off. Some persons
present asked her if 6he was
going to leave the body of her
husband there on the ground, and
the replied that " she was in a
hurry to get home, and as she was
unable to have him buried, it
was no use tor her to 6?av any
longer," and off 6ho drove. She
was notified to attend the inquest
in the morning. Tho storm
struck our colored Babtist Church,
which was being repaired, and
left it a complete wreck."
[Charleston Republican.
From what we can learn of the
meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Air Line Railroad, say6
the Columbia Union, it was decid
cd to run the line some seventeen 1
miles above the town ot Andernoon.
Anderson made a strong
showing to bring the line past that
town, and had her representative
men here to look attcr the nia ter,
but without avail, we arc told.?
Mr. J. P. Peed advocated the
matterd in a lengthy argument,
but it appears the reasons seemed
insufficient to cause a change in
the line as located by the Chief
Engineer. What maj- ho finally
accomplished we cannot state, as
onr knowledge of the proceedings
is somewhat limited, and that
lucre is a live interest being manifested
is apparent.

which caused a detention of about

moving at its usual speed when a

the express car off the track.?
Fortunately no ono was injured,

Th? Charleston Citj Elections.
The result of the election in Charles
ton, securing the tiiumph of the citizens
Conservative ticket for Mayor and
Councilmen, has delighted the fiends
of good order and peace and protection
from public plunderers, all over the
State. The most gratify ing circumstance,
is the fact,' that more than a
thou?ar.d colored voters of the City,
sustained the citizens ticket. Five col
ored men of good character, were nom
| inated and elected on the Wagner
ticket. It is truly said this election is
an example and encouragement to white
and black in this State, to unite togetbea
to secure the election of honest men
to office, and to put down the mere enr
pet-pagger and the demagogues who
stir tip partv stiife for their own private
ends.
We tako the following summary of
the Charleston oluction news fiom the
Phcenix. The Chat lesion papers
abound in full and iuteresting statements
about it, but too long for our
columns.
The result of the election in Chat lesion
is that the Citizens' candidates for
Mayor and Aldermen are elected by n
| heavy majority. The majority of Gen.
| Wegener for Mayor is 777, he having
received 5,586 voles, and Mayor I'illsbirv
4,809 votes. The highest vote,
(except that for Mr. O'Neill, who was
nominated by both parties.) was polled
for Mr. Alva Gage and Mr. Garrett?
the latter being a colored man, and the
former a Northern gentleman, who has
lived for a generation in Chaileston.?
Those candidates received 5,GOO votes.
The total vote this year is 10,401,
against a total vote in 1868 of 10,102,
when Mr. Lesc>ne received 5,042 votes
and Mr. I'lll-buiy 5,060 voles. All
the candidates of the Ci izens' party foi
School Commissioner were elected, ex>
ceptir.g in Wards 2 and 4, whara
Messrs. Jacob Williinan and C. G.
Memminger received i m j ni'y.
A number of citizens paid their rc
spec's to the candidate elect at hi - re-i
denct^corner of George and Glebe S.s ,
j and, after cheering him, w ere aildiessed
bv liim briefly. He said that a new
era bad come upon the city, and that
it would move on in a new and health
I ier prosperity. lie thanked them f??r
their support, nnd promised that in the
. administration of the affai.s of his ofiieo
he would discharge its duties with equal
justice to all.? Columbia Phcenix.
Greenville and her Visitors.
This summer our j lea-ant little City
has resumed much of its former glories
in the number and character of its visitors.
The daily rnihond train has
brought passengers from Charleston,
and other places South, who come to
enjoy a trip to our refieshing climate.
Tlio Mansion House has been more
crowded this summer than at any time
since the war. Messrs. Southern and
Grser, are giving great satisfaction in
their style of entertainment. Other
public and ptixale boarding houses nre
well occupied ; vui'.ots being well accomodated

Good dense Bhown by Voters.

elected a School CotnmUsionar io
? . . i t. K *. 11
t^lrarieston. lie was nominated by the
Republican party and voted foi by many
of both parties. When ouch men as
Col. Meromioger, so well fitted for the
office to which be is elected, are brought,
forward by the people, it is a sign that
good sense begins to prevail over the
nonsense and crime of electing incompetent
persons on mere party grounds.
All men elected to transact the public
business should be elected on account
of tlieir roeiit, more especially in offices
that are not political, county officers,
judges, and others that might be nam*
ed. It is a disgrace to any party to
nominate men of bad or doubtful character
to any office, political or not, and
still more disgraceful in the people to
elect such men when nominated.

turn of this State. (
Col. O. F. Townes was called to the .
Chair, and Dr. D. D. Moore requested ^
to act as Secretary.
The object of the meeting was for j
cibly set forth by Col. Towoes, he

Other gentlemen of the Bar entered (
into the discussion, enlightening the
citizens in rcgatd to the merits and de ,
merits of the Code. These "gentlemen
were Messrs. Easley, Earle, E. F. Stokes
and T. Q. Donaldson. '
Dr. J. M. Sullivan also spoke of the
Code as being burdensome and oppres- 1
si*e ; without some timely change iu (
the expensive fees incident to litigntioo,
the masses would be compelled to leave ,
the courts of law, and settle their disputes
by courts of arbitration.

Representative of the Lecriolalure. snoke
of the Code, attaching no ccnsuio to

months ago on a clean and clear shoal, '
having no improvements whatever on 1

not been for the delay of contractors,
would have now been much in advance 1
of our present progiesa. We are, how- (
ever, much gratified in being able to *

will, in a sbort time be tCAdy for the ma (
chinery, when we shall be ready to carry
the thing into a living, active reality, '

ored us with a call, have pronounced 1
our building", with our other general 1
, . , I
m i nuyciiiciuK, ouper'or io anyuung
they have teen in the Southern country.
Our machinery will be of the
most modern and improved kind, turning
off the largest amount of products '
according to time, and great saving of
labor. Our first purposes are to confine
the establishment to the spinning
of cotton yarns and manufacturing the
same into cloth, w ith the view at a fu- '
tore lime to extend and embrace wool
and woolen fabrics. We give our
neighbors and fiiendsan opportunity to
unite w ith us only to a limited amount;
should thev let the opportunity pass,
we have the opportunity and privilege
of using and employing capital from
abroad. Should we of the South now
neglect the opportunity to emplojf our
capital at heme in building up manufacturing
establishments and other enterprises,
to advance and promote the
needed progress of the country, wc soon
shall have yielded the golden opportunity
; and all, all will be gone into the
hands and pockets of others.
Knowing the interest you fuel in the
progress of the country, whatever atlu
sion you may make to the subject I feel I ,
content that you will do it justice.
Very respectfully, in haste,
