Eiwkkikm), S. Cm August 12.?'TJie most distressing occurrence ever recorded iu the history of South Carolina took place here to-day. About quarter past 2 o'clock this afternoon a dilliculty commenced in ;i bur-room near the public square between Brooker Toney, James I Booth, Thomas Booth, Mark Toney, Wade Lott, W. L. Coleman and Benjamin Booth. Several shots were tired in the house, when they all went into the public square, keeping up the lire as they went. Some twenty or twenty-live shots were fired. Brooker Toney, James Booth and Thomas Booth were killed instantly and Benjamin Booth mortally wounded. Mark Toney, W. L Coleman, Wade Lott, Dr. A. W. Sande-is, Stenmoro Kyan and Clarence Seigler were also wounded, but only slightly. The latter three had nothing whatever to do with the dilliculty, and were accidentally wounded. Brooker Toney was about 2(5 years of age, and wjis a very desperate man wtien excitcu. James ?nnui mm > Benjamin Booth wero about 40 and 45 years old, ami were brothers. Tliomas Booth was about 23 yoars old, and a son of Benjamin Booth. All of them wore very desperate, and were much feared. Brooker Toney was the man who killed Gus Harris, the notorious negro United SUites Marshall, here last June, while the j Court of General Sessions was being I lieM, and he killed another negro two I years ago. He died bravely, lighting to the last. The difficulty, originated from an old i and bitter family fucd. It appears that : some ten years ago one of the Booth fam- i ily killed a brother of Brooker Toney, ! and ever since that time a hostile meet- l ing has been looked for, and from the I character of all tho parties it was known i that when they did coino together it would be a bloody affair. To-day they were all drinking, met, and it was not < long before the matter was settled with Is the above unfortunate result.

As soon as Governor f Hampton heard that a fight was going on 1 he ordered Adjutant and Inspector Gen- j sial Moiso to take charge of the Edgefield j i Ititles, go to the spot and quell the dis- j i tuH>ance, but tho military arm i was not nwdod, as tho bloody work! i liad already ceased before their arrival. | t'aptain Harrison had his baton shot ( from his hand during the firing?whether! 1 whether from shots aimed at him orstray i i balls he is at a loss to know.

Tho ( excitement \va$ very great for some time I lfter the shooting, and at one time it was j f thought that other trouble would ensue, 1 isiused from the carelessness of a man s whose pistol was accidentally discharged i C in a crowd. As soon as the report of the j t pistol was heard the authorities attempt- j i id to arrest him, when his friends, who j t thought he hadn't committed a sulBcent i 1 - 2~ -*" ?* K Annrl : JlCCnSG lO CRUSU HIS UUCSl, ^ntuciuu i t irouud to protect him.

Tito Pictorial History of the "World, embracing full andauthenticaccounts of every nation of aix:ient and modern c times, and including a History of the s rise and fall of the Greek and Roman j,' Empires, the growth of the nations of n Modern Europe, the Middle Ages, the r Crusades, the Feudal System, the Re- 0 formation, the discovery and settlement f1 of the New World, etc., etc., by James ' D. McCabe. # s There has long been a great a"duni- c vorsally-felt want of a historj^H^A^e n world suitable for general use" "Ms ? want is now being supplied by the Na- 0 tional Publishing Co., of Philadelphia. r Pa., Chicago, 111., St. Louis, Mo., and = Dayton, Ohio, who have issued a handsome volume, entitled "The Pictorial History of tho World," by James D. McCabe, a well-known hisloriclo writer. 1 This work will,-undoubtedly, take rank I as a Standard History. It is the most I valuable book that has been published in J this country for many years. It contains a separate and admirably written history of every nation of ancient and . modern times, and is full of valuable in- ( formation concerning them, presented in a popular style, and in a manner that will K enable the reader to refer instantly to any |c subject upon which information is de- ^ sired. The book is a complete treasury s ef historj', and there is not a question c that can oo asked concerning any bis- ti torical subject, but an answer to it can be " found in this work. ,, The author docs not contcnt himself H with a mere dry statement or lacts, uiu sketches the lifo and manners of the various nations of which lie treats, in life like colors, and presents to the reader the causes which led to the prosperity and decay of the great powers of the world. He shows us the various great men?the warriors, statesmen, poets, sages, and orators? of ancient and modern times, and makes them familiar to the reader; he 9Xplains the secret motives of their ac- ^ tions, and points out tho lessons which " their lives teach. A valuable fcaturo of 1,1 tho book is a full Ilintory of the late War "J between litisxia and Turkey. This is the only complete History of the World in print, and it should be read by jvery intelligent person. We are constantly called upon to discuss the great _ questions of history, and tho wars and juarrels of the nations of the old world T equiro us to be continually refreshing * mr historical knowledge. This work offers tho best means of obtaining the in'ormation tho people need. It is compact, easy of reference, and strictly accurate, and presents to the reader a mass of rJ n formation respecting ancient, medieval I md modern history not to bo found in Ui my other book. The mechanical execution of the book ? leservc-s the highest praise. It contains .260 large double-column pages, printed | 11 the clearest and most beautiful stylo I >n paper of tlio very best quality. The jook is embelished with over (>.50 fine engravings, illustrating the events recorded n the narrative, embracing battles and itber historical scenes; portraits of the jreat men of ancient and modern times; md views of the great cities of the world, rheso engravings are genuino works of irt, and were made at a cost of over $25, WO. The great number and high cliaracer of tlieso engravings niako this the nost valuable art publication of onecen- ^ ury. We cannot too highly praise the J nimerous and beautiful portraits of his- Dj orical personages with which it abounds, & The price is so low that every one can 0l ifford to purchase a copy.

Editors Press and Banner: That there is a deep and wide spread " lissatisfaction among the people, growing out ol" the abuse of the syatem of primary clcctions adopted in this county, iio one can fail to have observed, and it is endangering the unify of the Demo- T iratic party.. This system has been so manipulated a? actually to suppress the names of inon who would Atherwise be readily selected by an untrammeled popular vote. The abuse grows out of tho practice of club nominations. The local club that nominates a full, or even a partial ticket, outside of its own membership, is to that extent, forestalling tho "| judgment of tho people, and is pre- I suming to dictate to the oalance of the ' ?ounty. If aclub confines its nominations to its own membership, the same objection does not obtain for it is highly proper tliat any club which has a member who is deemed worthy, should pressnt him with their endorsement. It is a public duty and the exorcise of a right to present thoir own candidate for tho promotion of their interests as well as those if the whole people. But such has not 1 been the limit of tho action of many of -1 ;he clubs. Our own club aud two others ilong the eastern side of the county have jbsorved tho demands of propriety in ;his matter. Most of tho clubs iiave made full nominations, and what is worse. Combination for the purpose ol' juccess. This method of forestalling the r ivinnlar will, has determined tho people X) act for themselves, and you will there- ] Tore please announce, till the day of tho m primary elections, the following Logisla- gi :ivo ticket on behalf of the people, viz: For Senate: e( HON.

One of them I notice through ;he columns of the Press and Banner, has 3ven declined the nomination of his club md one other, when ho would have re- E ;eived the nomination of still others, bo;ause he could not consent to canvass tho tiounty and beg thepeople for their votes. " rhey are selected only because of their jminent fitness for the post it ts proposed :o assign them. Tho peoplo have aright ;o their service, and as men of honor and public spirit they will promptly respond io the call of their county. They are ivell known and need no other recommendation than tho annonncement of Lheir names. They are in favor 1st. Of a proper," equitable and efficient free school system. 2d. They are in favor of such reorganization of the judiciary system of the State as will best conduce to* the speedy ad- j ministration of justice with tho least pos- a sibie expense to the people. fi 3d.
