MARTIN, Publisher. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1886. Heavy aiiow is reported in Nen Eng land, New York and West Virginia. The New York banks now hold $7,- 891,350 in reserve in excess of legal requirement. The report that Cutting is engineer ing a filibustering expedition against Mexico is denied. The Chicago stockyard strike has come to an end, and the men have been ordered back to work on the 10 hour ay stem. A mob of ten thousand attempted to storm the jail in San Francisco on Fri day night for the purpose of lynching the murderer of a little girl, but was repulsed. The first wrought iron pipe ever manufactured south of the Ohio river was turned out Saturday from a large wrought iron mill which has just been erected by the Lookout Rolling Mill of Chattanooga. The Alabama Synod, by a vote of five to one, condemns Dr. Woodrow’s course, and has telegraphed the Geor gia Synod that they may pass concur rent resolutions ordering a meeting of the trustees in December to receive his resignation or dismiss him if he refuse.

The State Fair of 1886 has come to a close, and with it probably the best held since the war. The exhibits were never surpassed, if equalled, in any of the departments; more particularly in the live stock, and especially in cattle. There were large crowds present; the gate receipts were good; gamblers and fakirs were excluded, ana last, but not least, the faithful and efficient officers who so successfully managed this Fair have been unanimously re-elected to, their fornTBr’Trositions.—Danjr^oC^.d. Tit for Tat The first American who brought slaves to this country was a New Eng lander, according to the narrative of George Bancroft. It was New Eng landers, who, upon landing upon American soil, fell first upon their knees and then upon the Indians.” A traffic in red slaves was attempted from Massachusetts to Cuba, and it came to grief only because the proud red cap tive resisted the dominion of the Cuban sugar planter. The last attempted American traffic in slaves from Africa, occurred in the first few months of the war. A young Southern lieutenant of the Federal navy captured a slaver officered by New Englanders. They were sent to New York and one of them, at least, was hung for his crime in New England.—Birmingham Age. A Curious People. The most peculiar people I ever saw are in Honduras, from which country T have just returned. They are the most unaccommodating set I ever saw. They have no ambition and no desire for money. Currency, in- fact, does not give a traveler any particular ad vantage. If while traveling on the road your horse breaks down, you find you cannot get auother, no matter how full j’our purse may be, or how many horses there may be idle near by. You cannot buy one at any price unless the owner is at the moment especially in want of something which he Knows the money he receives from you may pro cure. It is so wirh provisions also. It is generally impossible to deal with Honduranians on any terms.—St. Louis Globe Democrat. The State Bar Association. The Executive Committee of the South Carolina Bar Association met yesterday and appointed the following Committee of Arrangements: Messrs. S. P. Hamilton, W. K. Bachman, John T. Sloan, Jr., J. Ancrum Simons, John P. Thomas, Jr. Committee of Reception—Messrs. James H. Earle, A. C. Haskell, Edward MoCrady, Jr., D. S. Henderson, Knox Livingston, John J. Hemphill, Y. J. Pope, J* H. Heyward. Disease lies in ambush for the weak; a feeble constitution is ill adapted to encounter a malarious atmosphere and tudden changes of temperature, and she least robust are usually the easiest victims.

The consumption of coffee in Eng land continues to decline, and the com missioners of customs ascribe the fall ing off “to the notoiious adulteration which the pure berry undergoes in its manipulation into as convenient a form as tea for consumption by the mass of the people, who cannot afford the time or machinery obligatory for the prepa ration of coffee. A defendant in a civil suit lately tried by an English court was found respon sible for the amount claimed—£24116s. being a poor man, the court decided that he need pay but three shillings a month. At this rate it will take 134 years and four months to wipe out the debt. Shiloh’s Catarrh Remedy—a positive cure for catarrh, diptheria and canker mouth. For sale by P. B. Calhoun; also at Mt.

Augusta, Ga., Nov. 13.-*-The sensa tion here to-day is the finding of an important document among the papers of the late John Davisofi, whose estate, yalued at a million dollars, has been the talk of the town and producer of sensations for four or five weeks past. It will be remembered that Mr. Davison left no will, and that in consequence the bulk of his estate goes to relatives in Ireland, who have been and are now in the city lookingout for their interests. The executors, while looking over the papers of the deceased to-night, found a paper which outlined what disposi tion Mr. Davison had intended making of his vast property, though the docu ment is unsigned. To Mrs. G. Fargo, his neice, he intended $250,000, to the First Presbyterian church he willed $30,000, to the Second Presbyterian church he willed $2,000, to Mrs. W. C. Bryson, a friend,,he willed $10,000 a year during her natural life, and to each of his brothers resident in Ireland he gave $20,000. He also made several small bequests. Though the paper is not signed it is considered of impor tance and may have legal bearing on the matter. While we may differ with Hon. Geo. D. Tillman,we are glad to see him bold enough to express bis opinions. His opinions may differ from the bosees,but that does not make him any the less a democrat.—Marion Star. At Cleyaland, O., on rriaav ruffians beat an old man, killed his wife and robbed his house. A carp weighing 14i pounds was caught w Little Saluda River last week.
