Ducker have been ; < trying a rouud with Uncle 8am, and have re '( ceivtd a knockout blow at an unexpected j moment. These gentlemen found their way ? to Greenwood some ten days ago, and were on our streets brlghtand early Monday morn- ' ing last. F. A. Lance went several times to ) the express office inquiring lor a packiige f>r c J. W. Ducker, also went to the post otllce ask-' ing for letters for ihe same gentleman. About j ' ten o'clock Mr. J. W\ Duekett fouud In his j. mall a letter containing eighty-five dollars In <1 counterfeit five dollar bills addressed to J. VV. Ducker. This letter after some time was j turned over to Postmaster L. M. Moore, who J was advised as to Its contents. Knowing ' that F. A. Lance had already called lor mall i 8 for tbis name, Mr. Moore notified policeman Wm. McMillan to be on the lookout for him:8 when ha put in his uppearance at the office j again. Lance was not loug In coming, and ! 8 was soon under arrest charged wttu counter-1 letting. He was taken before U. S. Com mis-! ? sioner W. G. Chalee, and on the showing | 1 made was released. Afterwards he and Duck- j or were auain arrested, the latter having been } v found waiting for tils confederate h short din- K tance from the city. Lance gave boDd for his ! appearance at the preliminary h?re Friday, j ' and Ducker was put in charge ol Sbcritl Mc-| ^ Caslan. On Friday they were before Com mis-1 sloner Cbafee, and had to hear uew evidence j 0 produced against them. A gentleman from j Greenville county swore that Ducker had ] f tried to pass counterfeit money ou him, and 11 positively identified him. No doubt was left 8 in the mind of Mr. Chafee as to their guilt, and he accordingly held them for trial at the i * next term of conrt in default of So,001) ball. It;1 Is learned here from the United States au-1 thorltles that a regular baud of counterfeiters i K are located somewnere to the north of Ashe-! c vllle, N. C., and are flooding the country with counterfeit money. These men It Is supposed 1 are members of the band whose business It was to dispose of the money, and but for the ' mistake in placing the mall of Ducker into I the box of J. W. Duckett at the post office.; 8 would no doubt be distributing cheap money j * jimong us dully. Col. B. F. Cunningham ap-, E r peered for the defendants, but the evidence 1 A was overwhelming against litem, hence he A could not stay the tide of Justice.

Jus;, now iheS'aie has struck her antagonist a rogu ar Pitz immons j \ blow, and bus It lying mercilessly before her. ? The only question which is now agitating lh?speciators is whether or not original package will get up in time to try the next round. On last Saturday, Sept. i)tb, the State authorities closed up theestabjisbmeni run hereby Spen- , cer & Cobb, arresting Mr. Chas. Cobb and his I clerk, Mr. Peter Pounds. These parties at I once gave bond, and employed Messrs. Ball, j Ulmktns ?& Park to look alter their interests. 1 On Tuesday last these gentlemen went before Judge Slmomon at Plat Hock, X. C., aud asked tor an injunction against tbe constable's further Interference with their business JudgeSlmonton refused to grant a temporary order in the case, but Issued rules against the > Btale authorities requiring them to show c cause bAlore him in Charleston on Oct. 6th, as j J to why such Injunction should nol be grant-j ' ed. Greenwood it will be remembered was a (| "dry" town before the dispensary law weui j Into effect,aud has sluce voted against ihees- r tablishmentof adlspeusarv here. Itlsclalm- f ed by the Slate that Inasmuch as It cannot t sell liquor here, tbe original package men ^ should also be excluded. This contention Is c supported by some of the best lawyers lu the State, while sotne equally as prominent take : the opposite view. On this account the opln-1 ion ot Judge Simonton in this case is anxiously awaited. ROSENBERG'S OPENING. Mr. A. Rosenberg had something new in the way of an "opening" here last week. Instead of having two day* as has been his custom, this season be bad all on one day and the iolI lowing night. This change seems to have been a success because nearly every one in town, the meu as well a? the ladies, turned out to see what he had. His display of goods was very beautiful, and is said by those who are abl' to Judge to be on* of the best ever seen In Greenwood. Mr. Kos?-nberg is a thorough business man and can be counted on to ferve the public with the best and cheapest of everything in his line. PISTINGU1S1IKU VJSITOK. K,ev. ur. ?hii, 01 ;>ew uneans, orouier 01 I the Presbyterian minister at tills place, Is In | the city visiting the latter's family. He Nac! cotnpanled by bis charming daughter, Miss K Bessie Xali.

Like the true shepherd that does not ( remain away from his flock in time of dan-;1 ger, but hastens to them. Dr. Nail will leave r la h few days lor his home to look after his J people in that plague-strickeu city. Miss Be.s- i! sle will remain In Greenwood for some time | with her cousin, Miss Helen Nail. PAINFUL ACCIDENT. { The little chfld of Mr. Telford Reynolds | came near experiencing a serious accident on ', last Friday. It had In some wise found Its ; way to the C. & W. C.

It has been properly decided minors Cf.nnot q rent letter boxes In postofliees. A geneml order from Washington has gone forth tc that a effect. The reason given for this action is u that the Governraeofedoes not wish to be a R< party to the secret correspondence of callow 0 youths and maidens that might ha carried on jf In the safety of the letter box. Several cases D of harm have been reported hs a result of such ? correspondence. The postmaster can hardly ti contract with a mrnor in any case unlesii the ^ latter has the sanction of his parrents, und n certainly the office cannot afford to lerid it- j( sel r to any sceme for the advancement of love affairs between designing youth aud silly b gir s. There Is too much of this vealy y courtship in evidence as it is. Too many ^ youngsters of school age are allowed to parade the streets at night to make acquaintances that cannot result to the advantage of anybody, and to acquire troubles that oae is noi easily freed from. It is well for boys and girls to associate together, but It should be in the open freedom of the home, the playground E and the school rather than the streets. And e parents to discourage the idea ol forwardness G In tbe girls ana or impuaence in me ooys. s Many youngsters who are still In their knickerbockers conceive that they have arrived Ht Cl discretionary years when they can tramp the t sidewalks unattended, smoke fetid cigarettes ? and address Insulting remarks to girls and young women whom they pass.
