In Athens, Ueoigia, last week they had a
first class sensation. A report was circulated
that an attempt had been made to poison a
lady of that town. The local paper was, as
Usual, requested to say nothing ab iut It. As
usual, u I so, th-? allalr got published in a daily
paper of another town. Then again, a? usual,1
the local paper was fully authorized to correct!
the daily paper's errors.
We happen to have some experience in suppress!
nu new*. Several ycirs ago, when the
eyes of the country were turned to Columbia,!
a gentleman of this village returned from
that city bringing interesting news, but
hound us not to publish It. Our paper wi-nt ;
to press and whcri it had been printed, our,
daily exchanges gave the mutter in lull. Re-|
cently, an embariro was iatil on m against
publishing news about the railroad from AbLevi
lie to Verdcry. That same week our competitor,
and the tireenwood paper came out
with the identical facts which we had been
re'iuestod to mipprrss. And now we are in 1
possession of a local item of k personal and
also of a pnb'ie interest, hut we must wait for
homebody else to publish it?and then we
don't care if we never do publish it.

Colonel James Edward Calhoun of this,
county Is the owner of ten thousand to fifteen 1
thousand acres of land in one body lying in <
tills county, andaisoownsabout one hundred
thousand "acres of mountain land In what;
was old Pickens county. Being convinced of!
the value of these lands, and believing that if
ho had a good class ol settlers to whom lie
could sell small farms that his own interest
mid the public welfare would be advanced
iiiereoy, lie w now id.ikih^ enoris which, ii is
thought, will result in the settlement on Ills
lands of large colonies of English people, If
this far-sighted policy of Colonel C.dhoun '
should succced he will boa public benefactor
mid he will himself become a millionaire.,
W'c wish Colonel Calhoun the greatest success i
In the enterprise.
The Colonel's action is in striking contrast
with the narrow views of those who would
run the labor of the country from our bur-i
ders, and thus throw our bc.st farming lauds
out of use.

IIenvy Wind.
Purine the whole of Friday night and Sat'
urdsiy morning the wind blew furiously, and
many of our cltizons were alarmed. One
young man got lip out of bed, dressed, and sat
down and waited for the house to blow down
until he was overcome by sleep, when he
went to bed with a part of his clothing still
on. The rain, at early night-fall, fell in Parents,
but thecontinued wind gave the ground
the appearance of being almost dry next
morning. The weather on Saturday morning
was disagreeably eo!d In the wind, but by
right, the thermometer was below tho freezing
point wl'h the air on a dead level. We
have heard of no serious damage, except in
the matter of scare to our people, who were
fearfully looking to see their houses turned
over.
We would advise all our renders who think
of making a vegetable or llower garden this
spring, to send to I). M. Ferry & Co., Detroit,
Mich.,and get their valuable and beautiful
seed annual. This house is entirely reliable,
and if j ou wish to get exactly what you order,
yon canuot do belter than intrust jour orders
them.

The defendant* In their answer nliejte that
11:1 the .* : h day of October, is1*"-', t he said K ilel:?*n*
was insolvent and that p'alntill had tsooil
teason to believe that lie was .-o, and tIt:;t the

all of the per-onal property of litesald
Kitel.ens subject to exccution ; and that on
the same day tit said Kitchens conveyed t?i
the plaintiif al bis real estate subject to execution,
in consideration that the plaintill
would pay an antecedent debt due to I lie estitle
of Kobeit 1'aStcrsoii by I he said Kitchens,
a.id they therefore claim that these transactions
between the plaintill' and Kitchens
were in violation ot Section ol the (tenera
I S alute- ami therefore void. At. the trial
counsel pr.iposi u 10 iis,v i^n.nens,
while on the stand as a witness, the following
quc-tions; "What property tiki you

VII of the answer, which transact lone
it was claimed constituted such tin as-ianinent
as was contrary to the provisions ol

Statut' N of this State, and therefore void."'
The Circuit Judjje ruled that the said qnrstlon
was Incompetent stud irrelevant under
the pleadings, and refused to allow or require
the witness to'answer the question. Alter
this ruling the defendants, of course. offered
no lurther testimony and the plaintiff had a
verdict. The sole question, therefore, raised
hy thisarpo.il lis us to the correctness of this
ruling.
Treating the question ns If It arose upon a
demurrer to the answer, that being the way
In which it was considered hy the Circuit
J lid1.":.and should be hy us. a'l of the material
allegations oft he answer must he taken to he
true. It is there aliened that at the time o!
the transaetlon^uhvi xveen ti e plaint ill' and
Kitchens the Itfrtev wa? Insolvent and the
former had irooil reason toknow that tact, and
made in pursuance ol an original design ami
intent ol'the said Addison F. Kit eh 'lis nr.d
John W. Willis, determined on them in the
beginning. to transfer and assign ail the propoily
of Addison ! '. Kitchens, subject to execution
for debt, to.lohn W. Wiiks, for the benetit
of the said John W. Wilksand the estate ol

other creditorsof the said AddlK.m F. Klteh
ens. Assuming these allegations to be true,
tliev amount to an admission tiiut Kitchen*
ami Wi'ks Intended t'? eflect the precise object
whieii l* declared l<> be Illegal and absolutely
null and void by Section 2,'111 of tin
General statutes, which reads as follows:
"Any assignment by an insolvent debtor ol
hisor her property, for the benefit of his 01
her creditors, in which any question of priority
Is si veil to any creditor or creditors of the
srid debtor by the terms of the said assignment
over any oilier creditor or creditors,
other than as debts due to the public, or in
which any provision or disposition of Uu
property so a-signed Is made or directed, other
than that th- same be distributed among
creditors of the said insolvent debtor equally,
in proportion to the amount of their several
demands, and without preference or priority
of any kind whatsoever, save only as to debtdue
to the public, and s-tve only r<s to stirli
creditors as may accept the tertnsof such assignment
and exeeule a telcAsu of their claim
against the debtor, and except as hereafter
provided, such assignment shall bo absolutely
null and void, ami ol no eftect whatsoever."
1 ne manifest object of the Act Is to prevent
an insolvent debtor from trauslerring or assigning
liK property for the beneilt of one or
more of his creditors to th? exclusion of all
others; ami whether this object is sought t<i
be eilecU d by ?. /jrimtl deed of the assign
nicnt, or in any other mode, can make no
difference. Any other view, it seems to us,
would sacrilllce sub-tatiee to inert form, and
enable insolvent debtors, by evasion, to efleet
a purpose declared by statute to be unlawful,
The Statute is a remedial one, and should be
so construed as to suppress the mlsehiel
which it was manifestly designed to prevent.
It being conceded, as we have seen, that the
object of Kitchens and Wilks was, by the
means of the papers above referred to, dfiormi
Dad on in the outset, to dJ'ect an a^sl^ntnent
of the property of A. F. Kitchens, who

Judrcimm of the Circuit- Court t?a reversed
and thai the cas-e be remanded to that Court

Jf this be the proper construction of those

1 siiMaiiicd ? 1 >o I In se papers, when con-ider,
I'd as a unity amount to an assignment for

' nieiit, llie po-liion bein?, that all of the papers
must be regarded as one transaction, and
in that way cotistiloting an nMdguinent.
Nor can it be seriously urged Hint these pa'

instrument, Willi the provision in each examined
as if coniani' tl in a single paper, are
> charact-.Ti/.cd with tlio from or any of the
features ot a general assignment for the bene1
til of creditors, sncii an assignment lis tlie
Act under consideration was i 11 ito
rcKitintc anil con I ml. When these Instruments
are examine! separately. the first in a
n;oriuii';e in foi io. and.lii ail ofiis features,
Ijand was intended t > secure Ihe pnymcnl of a
i. smale debt to a single creditor; the second is
.and ordinary conveyance of real estate upon
the consideration that the purchaser would
pay a delii of I lie grantor to a third p.irty.
j null the third is a hill ot sale of a portion of
!l I he property embraced In the mortgage. in
' payment of the debt intended to be thins
1 secured.
; When taken together, they amount to a
' sale and convevaneehy Kitchens to the plaintill*of
the property therein described, upon a
'! fair and Just valuation, there being no alle1;
ira!Ion that the property was taken by the
' I plaintilt at an undervalue. In an assign moat
1: for the betictil oi creditors it Is usual to name
tl.o creditors specifically and Individually.
r or at least to provide for them as a class, a:iu
, generally nn?i assignee is nominated and appointed,
who upon accepting tiie appoint|

sion in either of the j?:t|?ers, when eoiisiile.ird
'i single or together, which true, is l<> place the
I properly beyond the rcaeh of all other creditors.
Such a trah.-aetion may or may not lie
fraudulent at common law and under the
Statutes of Kli/.Mbelli, dependent upon the
fact of its bmi'ifi'lfie, hut, it cannot be assailed
I.! under Chapter 72 of the General Statutes, as
" the main feature which that Act. requires lo
. lie present in order to be applicable is absent,
' i C.an assignment for the benefit of credi'
tors.
i The appellants Ifi their argument seem to
! fftel the fore.e of this position when th?y urj;a
1 j that the transaction It not against the letter
iof the Anl, 1? ceriaitsly acftinst Its spirit, in!
sinting that it Isa patent evasion of the manl.
fest purpose of I he Act.
H This may or not be true, but yet tne Act Is
'[specific in its terms, and describes in well
j under-tood and in precise language the class
i! to which its sections are Intended to apply,
I and this Court cannot enlarge its provisions
! by embracing other cli's-es under the Hunt of
what may be termed tiie spirit, of the Act.
! This would be Judicial legislation instead ol
Judicial construction. 'J'lie latter power we
' J possess, but not the former.
'j It was urged by appellants, as a second pojsltlon,
"that the transactions were void
II under the provisions of 13th and 27th Elizabeth."
This question was not raised in the
| pleadings, nor was it made before the Circuit
' Judge, or ruled upon by him. It can not,
!! therefore, be considered here. Whether the
'! dealings between Kitchen* and the piaintfl
: t were fratvlulent at common Imv or under the
i [.Statutes of Klizabelh, which In substance
I were but legislative declarations of the com*
' j mon law, depend upon altogether different
'! facts and circumstance* from those which
| would render them Invalid under chapter 11
of the General Statutes. The appellants In
! this case have s?cn proper In their pleadings
' to rest, their defence on (lie provisions of (lie
; latter Act, and they must stand or fall upon
tne case as made.
With these views I nin unable to concur
with the majority of the Court, aud this is
'j tiled as a dls-cntlnu opinion.

The A. It. I'. congregational meeting lo arrange
about adjusting llut debt on lint church

nod so with all church asscsmsents. The.
building committee was called on for their!
report, ami l?r. (Jrier, the Chairman, pro-tc<dded
to glve it. In full. The treasurer's!

: SG.-VH.'iO. 1'atd out StV'.K.Ol. f'o-t. on lands,
Slls.lft?nuikiiig debts and credits balance
nearly lo a cent. Some ' wo thousand dol-1
j irs and over had been borrowed, s.> when j
ea^li on hands was taken Iroin this amount
it left bclwe ti eighteen and nineteen liun-'
i dred dol hi re of a deficit on I he church to be
raided. The scsdon ha<^ ilccided nottowor-j
; ship in tho new church until this amount <
was ao'Jusied. l'y motion it was resolved;
that we notv proceed to raise this amount. I
Iir. Urler was requested lo take the floor and |
: call on each person present. I!o;>k In hand i
I he<lid so, ofien amid roars of laughter. The
first round footed up il.l'is, short some 3 DO. ]
Now (or tlie second round. This time the;
speaker i? I'oiceifr to cry out: "Hon't crowd
me too fast." AmnuntsSiand 310 arc handed
' him ho fast that he can't take them down,and
i calls for k halt. After three rounds th? Sl,sti"
lis secure. I l>y cash or noles bearing ten per
cent, lntere-t, and an on'.huslasilc member
i wants to It no w "if you want to raise anything

| has n deht and wants It ral-ed I t them send
for I?r. \V.;M. ttrier,and If he don't get It. up
; then we simply say that they are hard cases.
; Having adjusted the deht, all Interest now
1 centered In I he selection of pews. The greatest
: Interest was manifested from first to hist, and
you would lrci|iiently hear the expression,
i "There! my pew is gone." However, all per1
sons iceiii pretty well satisfied and the whole
i day's proceedings passed otr most Baiisfaetoirlly.
Our streets were literally deserted all
day long, Interest continuing in ihe proceedings
at the church. Everybody was happy
Saturday night over the result of the day's
: work. The debt had heen lilted, the congregation
had been seated, and tnc dedication
i now comes oil' next Sanhath. Jus: before the
j meeting adjourned, Dr. James Hoyce ottered
a resolution, viz: I'hht Ihe thanks of this
j congregation be rendered to Almighty <?od
j for the harmony and success of this day's
; work," and Kev. J. X. Young, the oldest minister
pres.;nI. was asked to lead in prajcr,
