Sam Stewart, the negro who murdered Milledge Blair, colored man, in ?sDvem ber, 1876, at the store of Mr. Padgett, m M Wooley Town," by cutting his throat from ear to ear, waa arrested ia dewber ry a few d*j8rago and brought back to Graniteville-by Squire Simms and Mr. Blackwell, ihe jailor at Aiken. Stewart will be carried to Aiken and placed in jad to await trial. The cause he aa?igna for the. deed is that Blair was u "Democrat nigger " At the time of tte morder he said he had killed one Demo cratic nigger, and was rea.?y to kill an other. He thinks he will get clear. fly Let everybody watch for th? night of November 13th, 1S79. Pro! Tice aaye that we are to $ave on thai night the most brilliant meteoric display ever seen smce 1833, when to all intents and purposes the sky literally rained fire. The display for this year will not com menee until about one o'clock in the morning, but the Professor, says that tb? magnificence of the display will more than compensate for the inconvenience of-the vigil. The Bond Decision. Below we publish the substance oi the recent decision of the Supr^nT Court in the celebrated Bond. Cases over which there was.so,-much ex citeia^n^iaetryear We consider this adjudication a signal triumph for the Anti Bond Men, for it eliminates near ly three millions of the whole Bond issue as absolutely void, and holds in abeyance, as it were, a large amount in addition as being tainted with fraud To whom shall be given the credit for this stupendous saving to the State and the taxpayers let a generous public determine. Pahna Coronal Opus. The following are the conclu sions of the Court. r 1st. That all the bonds issued un der an Act entitled "An Act to re duce the volume of the public debi and provide for the payment of the same" are valid obligations of the State of South Carolina, except as follows: !?& Such as were issued in exchange for bonds issued under the Act entitled "An Act to authorize a loan for the relief of the Treasury," or for the coupons of such bonds. 2d Such as were issued in exchange for the secoud issue of bonds under an Act entitled " An Act to authorize a State loan to pay interest on the pub lie debt," or the coupons of such bonds. 3d. Such as were issued in exchange for those conversion bond^ which were issued in exchange foi either of the two classes of bonds last mentioned, viz., bonds for reliel of the Treasury and the second issue of bonds to ray interest on the pub lie debt, or io "exchange for the cou pons of sicch conversion bonds. 2d. If any consolidation Loud rests, wholly upon any of the three objec fconable classes of bonds or coupons just mentioned, then it is wbolh void; but if it resta only in part upon such objectionable bonds and coupons, then it is only void to the extent which it does rest upon such objec tionable bonds or coupons, and for the balance it is a valid obligation ol the State. 3d. That the burden of proof is upon the State to show that any par ticular bond vrhich may be brought into queetion does rest either in whole orin part upon such objectionable bonds or coupons, and if in part on ly, then the State must show what part is so affected. Thejudgment of the Court of Claims is set aside, and the cases are re manded to that Court for such lui th er proceedings as may be necessary under the principles herein announced M. O'DOUD. This gentleman bas been in business io Augusta for many years, and during thai time received a heavy patronage from this section. Among his customers there were some who were unable to pay their in debtedness to him, and to all such li* authorizes us to say that he is ready to wipe out old scores, sive them v.c.-.;.u in -mri ano begin business anew. Sncb gen erosity on the part of Mr. O'Dowd will certainly be appreciated by everybody, and onght to secure the patronage of all his old customers and a large number ol new ones. He is well known as one o' the best and most reliable business men in AuguBta, and by reading his advertise ment in another column you will see that he offers fair and liberal terms to the trade. Household and Farmers Cyclopedia We have received from the pub lishera a copy of the above work, which we find to be the most com riete book of useful and practical in formation for the farm and household we have ever examined. It is a com pilation of facts gathered from a thou sand reliable sources, and involving an immense amount of labor to ob tain them. It treats of the horse, ol ta, mules, cattle, calves, sheep, lambs, swine, poultry, dogs, bees, in cluding diseases and their remedies, care and management, training, break ing, etc.; accidents and ii.juries of ev eryday life and how to meet them ; household, pests and how to destroy them ; diseases of the human system and how to treat them at home ; me chanical devices and processes ; every man his own lawyer, farming, dairy ing, orchards, fruit rai?ing, garden ing, household work, dyeing, fish cul ture, miscellaneous and useful facts not otherwise classified. In short, there is hardly a question in the whole range of practical knowledge but what is here answered in the plainest and briefest manner. It will be an invaluable companion for every farmer and mechanic, and men of all tr; des and professions. The Pul lishers want capable men to introduce this valuable work in every country in the South. Address Anchor Pub lishing Co., Atlanta Ga. See their advertisement in another column. BOGUS CERTIFICATES. It is no vile drugged stud', pretending to be made of wonderful foreign roots, barks, ?kc., and puffed up by long b >gus certificates of pretended miraculous cores, but a simple, pure, effective med icine, made or well known valuable remedies, that furnishes i LS own certi ficates by its cures.

Indeed no eily in the outh can boast of more elegant millinery than is to be found or made at Miss Purcell's During the present month "/e predict that iut less than 500 Edgefield ladies will call on Miss' Purcell arid purchase liberally ol her.

DIS MEMRBEMENTO FOLDED GE FIELD. EDXTOIIS A nv ERTIS KR:-1 would call your attention lo the new movement ol our ambitious neighbor, Newberry, whereby the Dutch evidently contem plate conquering a portion of tlie territo ry of our old County-our Alsace and L ?rraitio-the Saluda Section. I am sor ry to see by a late nunfberof ttie Now barry News, thal a son of old Edgefield is also engaged in this effort lo dismem meinber our old mother, and il* lier solis keep on demanding a partition of tho State, the old lad}' will soon bc left with out her dower, or have a sufficiency of her wide domain left, to furnish a join ture. Our neighbors of the ivetr? discuss this annexation of that portion of Edge field, lying adjacent to Newberry, along the Saluda," as if thc County and people of Edgefield had nothing whatever to do with the matter. In fact they say that if we (of Saluda) see r. i Die part of us of Newberry a disposition and deter minalton to cany out the design, it will b? speadily accomplished and no doubt they mean by an absolute surren der on our part, of whatever portion of our territory tho conqueror sees tit to take. The appeal of the News to the Dutch shop keepers is soul-stirring and pathetic, as follows :" if Newberry de sires this territory, lot it divert itself, long enough from its devotion to the business of tho Town, and forget per sonal and private selfish reasons, to do something for tho good of the county Which properly interpreted means: "Poya, shut up de shop and sdop dra v\ W. K , -\.\ .V"... wo, will JJ.. |>b?? BOW d i and not Edgefield." But seriously, Messrs. Editors, 1 do not see what Newberry wauts with the ''Edgefield roughs," when I remember h nv but a few years ago, some of our boys on Saluda were insulted and de fended themselves from certain negro police- in Newberry, where they were " transacting their business," and these wonderfully conservative people got up a public meeting and denounced thom, and afterwards it was lound necessary t J change the venue, and have them tri ed in Spartanburg, where they were sus t tined and acquitted. Now, Messrs. Editors, I want to ex hort the people of our grand old Coun ty to be patient, and if the railroad sys tem of this part of the Suite is not chang ed in a reasonable time, so as to enable them to do their business at home; and if it becomos necessary in tho future to divido tho Count}', let us then make two good count Us out of ii, and one of them can bo called Saluda, Butler or Gary instead of selling our "territory for a mess of pottage" or for a few bolts of Dutch linen. Saluda would make a linc Count}' of itself, with the county-scat at or near Bleaae's Cross Roads. In conclusion allow moto say that 1 am satisfied that the people of Edgefield, are too proud of tho past history of their glorious native soil to consent to any further dismemberment of our fair proportions, in order to en rich our covet ous neighbors; and as only a few of the Saluda people have boen seduced into this project, a counter petition will bo gotten up, and our delegates from this County instructed to resist tho m ive to the last. As a farewell to our grasping neigh bors, whom, jesting aside, I really like I quote for their benefit, and hope they will remember the tenth Commandment. Thon shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man servant, nor his maid ser vant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nr anything that is thy neighbors. SALUDA. SET BACK li YEARS.

EDITORS,-Please give me room in the refined and elevated old Advertiser to briefly mention a very pleasant evening spent at an entertain ment given by the young ladies of Ridgo Spring, on the night ol* the 25 inst., for the bent lit of the Charlesion Confed?r ate Mouuincnt, which is to perpetuate the memory of our Confederate soldiers, who laid down thjir ?ives in defence of tho Southern cause, which though dead, j'et spe*?keth. And wo do not hazard too much when we say that this enter taininent was a perfect triumph of femi nine taste, talent and patriotism. Thc doors were opon at S P. M. and tho performance commenced at half past eight. I do not remember haviug ever looked upon a more charming assem blagc of ladies, gentlemen, and love y children, than were present on this occa sion. Tlie stage was faultlessly arrang ed and exquisitely decorated with How ers, Hags and pictures. All of the pieces were most admirably rendered, and ac companied by delightful music on the piano and violin. I was not acquainted with all the young ladies and gentlemen who took part in these admirable tableaux and charades, and therefore of course I cannot eh tor into personalities and details. But there were some characters so truth fully portrayed that I cannot refrain from being personal in one or two instances. The dramatic readings and recitations ol Mrs. Lockwood were perfectly inimita ble, bespeaking intellectual and hislri onie gifts of the highest order. And the roles acted'by Mr. F. as tho "Earl" and Miss T as tho "Gypsy Maid" were per formed so completely and so naturall}', that one looking on, could hardly realize that it was acting merely and not real life. The part acted by Miss W. as the bouse-girl, Marj-, was so very natural that I for a moment thought myself the inmate of some well regulated farm house. I imagine Mar}' would mako a splendid house-keeper! One more word, to you, Messrs. Edi tors, aside. And that is this: I feel that my heart is left behind forever at Ridge Spring M. Sept. .'30th 1879. ANEW FEATTRE^SREGARD TO THE HAMBURG RIOT. Our readers are doubtless aware that the greatest portion of the op probrium in connection with this al tair, which, like all others, Las two eides to it, has rested upon one indi vidual. It is hardly necessary to state that, this fact Las been accepted as trustworthy by a great many per sons, while, on the other hand, quite a number have doubted its correct ness. This, however, ia not a ques tion for us to determine. The gen ;leman referred to is Mr. Thomas Butler, of Hamburg, S. C. Fate or chance has, however, so ordered it that those persons ol' the class first referred to above (we allude to om it jrthern brethien), will have an op portunity to hear from the lips of Mr. Butler himself of the true inward ness of this lamentable affair-la mentable in more bearings than one, alas! Mr. Butler will go on to New York at the head of, and as a prin cipal actor in, a novel enterprise, and one that will, no doubt, excite great interest and curiosity in that and ot her Northern cities. He hap, t brough gi eat energy and expense, succeeded in training a pack of hounds perfect ly in pursuing a human trail. The person pursued is a uegro and the object of the undertaking is to vivid ly portray what waa an occasional incident of thc ante bellum time. The public must by no naean^ enter tain an idea that there is aught ol cruelty to either man o: beast in this unique entertainment, as the negro iii question is devoted to his employ er and the hounds are well kept and cared for. This negro is of far greater intelligence than the average country darkey in that or other Southern S'.ates. He is a preacher and exerts great influence among his brethren and race in the locality named. His devotion to the so-called "bugaboo ol the Hamburg riot' affords rich mate rial for thought with referen e to the geueral, and we might say prevail ing, opinion existing in the Northern States that the Hamburg riot was chargeable only to the whites not on ly of Hamburg but of our own fair c.ty. By this we mean that it is re markable, to say the least, that this comparatively intelligent negroahould in the face of the alleged brutal and inhuman treatment of others ol his race, profess and exhibit such fidelity and devotion. Enough of this, how ever. The remarkable sagacity of the canine race, which has been so often embodied in anecdote and song, is most forcibly exemplified in this exhibition, a general idea of which univ 1st. y<i*U?ifjt Iroia tko lulluwiu^ . The negro Sam starts out on a brisk run several minutes, say 15 or 20, be lore the dogs are let loose. He bounds over fences, runs through the fields, or through the midst ot a vast con course of people, jumps on a horse, which he finds on his route and lashes into a furious galop, and now leaping to the ground again contiuuea bia rapid Hight. Now in the distance is heard the wiudiug of the purauers horn and the deep baying of the hounds, which are let looae, and wiih unerring instinct seek for the trail, which is soon found and followed. They come in view, breathUas and with hanging tongues, followed by the reckless, but skillful rider, who now cheers, now reproves, as he ar dor of the cha ie increases or abates. He is found. The hounds appear to be beyond all control. The pursued is safely ensconced among the shel tering boughs of a tree far above and beyond the reach of the infuriatid animals. The pursuer, however, with a few words and a short blast of the horn quiets the pack, and the pursu ed, jumping down, is fawned upon and caressed by the hounds. Thus ends a most novel sport. Our breth ren beyond the line will no doubt testify to their appreciation of this remarkable Bight in more ways than one. Mr. Butler left Auguata laat evening, and will embark for New York on the steamer Western Texas, leaving Port Royal to-day, accompa nied by his servant Sam, his horses and the hounda.-Chionicle and Con stitutionalist. A QUESTION OF IMPORTANCE TO TH IE COUNTY OF NEW KERRY. The question ot the annexation of that portion of Edgefield County ly ing adjacent to Newberry, along the Saluda River, is one of vital impor tance to this coun'y, as well as to those living within the above mex tioned territory. The subject ought now to be agitated and di; cussed, and united ac ion on the part of all in terested should be inaugurated. The business men of this town are more deeply interested in this matter than anybody els-e. There are some points it would be well for them to meet and discuss and aot upon. For instance, if tree bridges were built across tl.e river at Kinard e and Bjuknighfs it would obviate one difficulty in the way of the acquisition of the covet ed land. Those pi opie over there transact all of their business at New berry. This ia their market ; and it, is only when summoned to Edgefield by public duty as jurors.or witnesses that it becomes necessary for them to go there. We are informed, by one conversant with the sen ti merits of the citizens of that locality, that a s rong feeling in fav ?r of the transfer has grown up among them, ll this be encouraged, und they Bee on the part of us of Newberry a disposition and determination to 'carry out the de sign, it will be speedily accom lish ed. The spirit seems to be moving our friends across thc river. Don't let us he behind them in a matter in which we are as much interested aa they. Let ila have some united ac tion on this matter. If Newberry desires this territory, let it divert it-., self long enough from its devotion to the business of the town, and forget personal and private selfish reasopp, to do something for the general good of the country.-Newberry News. |TGH1NG PILES.
