Paul was) shot and . instantly killed on the front porch or piazza of one Gus j Longtreet, a negro who lives in the Buncombe portion of our town near the Academy. Just before the hour indicated Mr. Paul, Mr. Andrews, Mr. Decker, and Mr. Leggett walked from town over to the house named, went up the piazza steps, and Mr. Paul asked to have the door opened. The question was asked from the inside of the house: "Mr. Paul, is .that you?" And without more ado j the door was thrown open, A gun fired and Mr. Paul fell- and died almost instantly. Dr. Tompkins testified before! the Corner's Jury of Inquest that | the wound was inflicted by buck shot and were sufficient, in his judgment, to cause death almost instantly. One s lung was badly lacerated and the abdomen was much torn by them. Gus Longtreetr Henry Griffin, Sydney Longstreet, and. Ella Hodges were in the house at the time. Gus and Sydney have fled and the testimonv indicates that Gus did the shooting and Sydney aided and abetted^. Henry Griffin ,has been arrested and lodged in our] jail. Mr. Paul will be buried from the Baptist Church this, Wednesday morning, by his comrades of the Edgefield Rifles, Mr. Booth preach ing the funeral sermon. LATER. The verdict of the" Coroner's Jury was "that Mr. Paul came to his death from a gun-shot wound in the hands of Henry Griffin. Gus and Sydney Longstreet being ac cesories to the same."

EDITOR : Again we endeavor to give you a few dofs, which we hope may be interesting tc the readers of your valuable paper. We have had a great deal of rain for?the last two weeks, which mars the progress of farming-somewhat, but we sf?ll entertain great hopes that we will be . successful. If we can't raise anything else, we have good gardens. I believe our gar dens in this communitv are better than I have seen them in some time. We feel sad to announce the death of our friend and neighbor, Mr. Amos Whittle, who died on Sunday last, June 5th. We tender our heart felt sympathy to his be reaved family. My mother ha? two young spring chickens that fight a great deal, and my youngest brother has named one Ben Tillman and the other he named John Sheppard. John is the larger one of the two, and turns up his feathers and makes as if he is,something grand, until Ben comes st him -with a crushing vivacity that is inim ta ble that necessitates John's capitu lation, 'but it is not John's fault, but just his misfortune. Our dear old friend, Prof. J. H. Lswis, one of Edgefield's most ac complished gentlemen, has been off to Anderson recently, and our anx iety to know what he went for can not be estimated, but there is one thing, I have several topics in solu tion, and one of my subjects some times calls young gentlemen to go far away to--roam o'er unknown waters and lands, to mingle their sighs with the lonely birds of the great forests, to bid farowell to the dear ones at home. And all of this is the result of the fascinating smiles of woman. But the lady that wins the affections of our old friend will be fortunate as he is a man of exquisite taste. Mr. J. P. Rodgers has a very fine oat crop on Mine Creek this season. Messrs. G. L. Salter and J. A. Rodgers have got a thresher this harvest. Look out, grain raisers, they will soon be around. Mr. J. H. Lewis has a lovely line of general merchandise in stock at Clintonward now. Buyers, call and inspect bis goods and prices, you will be pleased. Mr. T. L. Story, of our section, is undoubtedly one of tho host orators in the county. He is young, generous, and hospitable. Thomas bids fair to be a great man- some day. Polities are quiet at present in our vicinity. All, or nearly se, for Farmer Ben again. . . The Rev. J. A. Carson preached one of the grandest sermons at Richland Church on Sunday last, He did not preach a political ser mon, but touched on it occasion ally by saying that he observed that when a political year comes round people fall away from reli gion. When politics rages, religion suffers, should be our watch words Hope to hear from many cor respondents. VAN STAR. Mine Creek, S. C. DOTS FROM SOPHIA. Tillman Babies-Good Crops And so Forth. MR. EDITOR : I ask speace in your paper this week for a few lines from Sophia. The -( farmers hereabouts are through harvesting their grain which they found rather sorry and they are n^w ready to go to work. They will have to hustle, or p?serai Green and his army will possess the land. Up to this time, however, the crops are in good con dition and the acreage in corn is a large one. We are under the im pression that the people are going to eat their own hog and hominy and let the Western people 'eat theirs, or send it to some other place than Mountain Creek. A plenty of meat at home will help IhojDoor farmer no matter who is Governor. . Tillman ?aid on one occasion that he had the boys in his breeches pocket, I hope he won't be like Mr. Timmerman was when he went to his neighbor's house to get some pigs. He put the pigs in a sack" and went his way rejoicing, but the pigs kicked out of the sack and left him standing at the Sweet Gum Spring. We hope Gov. Till man's pocket is made om of good ducking so he can hold the boys in. I think Mr. G. S. Timmerman has been counting on making a fine chance of Tillman-Smyly beaus, but Mr. Smyly has failed to send up he seed. Mrs. Fannie Griffis is up from Augusta, spending sometime with her people and many friends. Mr. -j. T. Ouzts's school will cor> mence again on the 13th inst. A fine Sunday-school at Eureka Academy. It meets every Sundaj' evening, and some of the prettiest girls I ever saw attend, and some of the ugliest boys. They are so ugly that the girls have to> slight them occasionally and I think it does ' 'em good. Tte little^hoyi" hang arqund the girls like a drove of blackbirds around a haystack. It is so annoying to the girl to be bothered with' the little mei* who ought to be at home driving up the calves and bringing water and waiting on their mammies. Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Timmerman are being congratulated on the ar rival of twin baby girls. Mr. Tim merman says they are Tillman babies ; they are beauties. On Saturday before the third Sunday in June there will be children's day at Mount Carmel Church, at which several0 able speakers will be present. We hope everybody will come and bring baskets well filled, and watch the candidates separate chicken and the bones. POOR BOY Sophia, S.

Report carnes from London of the discovery of the thistle as an article of food for man as Well as beast. The thistle certainly has some very fine points.-Yonkers Statesman. It is only necessary to grow old to become more indulgent. I seo no fault committed that I have not committed myself. When you find a chronic fault finder you generally find a person who loafs too much. An alloy of 78 per cent gold and 22 per cent alumnium is the most brilliant known, Hope Did it ever occur to you what world of thought is wrapped up LI that little word" hope" ? Its erv pronunciation makes every osom bound and burn. It is ?usic to the ear of the young, eal th to the sick, and life ejuvenated to the_ old. Poetry lakes hope a formation, grief lakes it a solace, and desolation lakes it the brightest flower that dorns earthly creation whilejeven isBppointment and delusion rhisper darkness out of the sky f to-day into sunshinge of to ?orrow. Sobbing sorrow may rush and cripple the soul, but ope gives it new elasticity. Nay, ; may be humiliation in the dust, ut hope will raise it up again: [ope is man's birthright, which fter all his blandishments, d?ni ions, and mockeries, never maketh im ashamed to hope on, hope ever, iry fancies may allure him, and miling faces beguile him into reachery, but hope fits .eternal round the human head and rea8t, and hangs the rainbow on ie blackest cloud in all the chaste parklings of an angel from nmortul life. Thunder-bolts may jap from the fair bow in the louds, and hope vanish as a fair somer from that bright spot, but \e fascinating form soon appears Isewhere m fairer robes than ever, nd with a wreath of flowers to rown the child of endless disap ointments, Now when you connect ie word "hopo with "salvation," nen what a wonderful word it ecomes! At once ii comes to ?easure man's most delightful hristian attainment, Indeed, so itimately is it associated with ractical godliness, that religion ;self is called a "good hope irough grace. More than this, ur God is called the God of hope, ?r Saviour called Christ our hopo, nd his finished work is known as the hope set before us in the rospel," while those who accept im are said "to rejoice in the ope of the glory of God."-The lev. Dr. Armitage. Facing1 a Lion. In one of the side shows onnected with the circus was a age with a single lion in it. On iie cage was a placard reading: This beast has killed ten men. ?ne thousand dollars to any one ho dares enter his cage. A big ign to the same -effect was hung p out doors and those who didn't o in lo see the fat boy and the ?ermaid supply wanted to gaze on lie lion. There was a good crowd ii, ?nd the lecturer was about to egin on the mermaid, when a ittle old man, who was bowlegged, nd humpbacked, crowded to the ront and said: "Look here. I want a try for hat $1,000* Gimme a show at bat lion. "My friend, do you want to be am into dog meat?"- asked the ?cturer in reply, "You wouldn't ive thirty seconds after entering he :...

"I have't drunk a drop of licker ti ten years 1" indignantly xclaimed the old man. \ "You ain't willin' to give a man show!" He backed off, and the lecturer elivered the usual oratior^on the aermaid. He was about to begin n the fat boy when the Numidian ion uttered a series of roars, and very body's attention was attracted 0 the cage. The little old man 1 ad slipped around and opened he door and entered. Not only hat but he had that lion by the ail and was drawing him backward round the cage. Men shouted nd women shrieked, and the 3cturer rnshed forward and brie ked: "Mau ! man but you must be aad." . "Never felt better natured in ay life 1" replied the old man as ie stopped to rest. "Come out cr you'll be torn to lieces!" "I rayther guess not ! There's nly one Numidian critter in here, nd he don't seem to be on the ear very much. He up, here, ou old mossback, and take nother promenade !" He was drawing the beast around tie cage again when the lecturer ntered it and said something in a aw voice. i "Make it ten and I'll do it!" eplied the old man in loud tones/ You said you'd give a thousand, ut being it's hard times for loney I'll let you off easy. Make sr ten and pay me before I let go f his tail." It was handed to him then and liere and he descended, wiped ia hands on the grass and ^elingly observed to the circle of dmirers : " Durn my hide but when a man rings any sort of a thing into bis town and sends out a defi lm right on deck! That's the ust critter from Numidia I ever added, but I'll be lookin for more rom this on. Everybody come ut and have some red lemon ade .ith me"-New York Sun.

Here is what; a purely secular paper, the New York Journal bf Education, says rbout dancing: A great deal can be said about dancing, for instance, the Chief of Police of New York City says that three fourths of the abandoned girls in this city were ruined by dancing; Young ladies allow gentlemen privileges in dancing, which, taken under any other circumstances, I would be con sidered aa improper. It requires neither brains nor good morals to be a good dancer. As the love of the one increases the love of the other decreases. How many of the best men and women are skilful d?nc?rs? In ancient times the sexes danced separately. Alcohol is the spirit of beverages. So. sex is the spirit of the dance. Take it away, and let the sex dance separately, and dancing would go out of fashion very soon. Parlor dancing is dangerous. Tippling leads to drunkeness, and parlor dancing leads to , ungodly balls. Tippling and parlor dancing sow to tie wind and both reap th e whirlwind. Put dancing in the crucible, apply the acids, weigh it, and the verdict of reason, morality, andkreligionis, "Weighed in the balance and found wanting." A Complicated Instrument. The beak of the mosquito is sim ply a tool box, wTierein the mos quito keeps six miniature surgical instruments in perfect working order. Two of these instruments are exact- counterparts of the surg- on:s lance, one is a spear with a double-barbed head, the fourth is a needle of exquisite fineness, a saw and a pump going to make up the complement. The spear is the largest of the six tools, and is used for making the initial puncture ; next the- lances or knives are broughtjnto play to cause the blood to flow more freely. In case this last operation fails of having the desir^deftect, the saw and the needle are carefully and feelingly inserted in.a lateral direction in the victim's flesh. The pump, thc most delicate of all six of the instrument s, is used in transferring the blood to the insect's stomach." -Discovery. From "The Ram's Horn." Weakness is a blessing when it causes us to trust in God. Treasure m heaven is always drawing big interest on earth. Perfect love for God also means pertectlove for your brother.

Advise man understands a good work from the beginning, but a ^001 only when it comes to an end. Seek the counsel of wise and sen sible men, of learned men, of intelligent men, and of men of good disposition, and be thou their friend. Keep thy hands from stealing, thy feet from wandering without work, and thy mind from cherishing wicked revenge ; for the man who works righteousness obtains a good reward, and the man that does sin suffers punishment. Do not in jure thy soul by wrath and envy Do not consign thy soul to hell out of a false modesty or shame Ask God's blessing and keep the heart cheerful and thou shal t obtain of the Lord an increse of his goodness. Always, and at every time, trust thou in God alone, and make that beloved to thyself which is increasingly profitable unto theo. Labor and sacrifice thy life for the thing which is of God. Meditate on virture; do not meditate on sin; for a man does not live forever; therefore the thing that concerns heaven is most befitting thee. To School Trustees. Section 1 of an act of the Legisla ture, approved Dec. 22, 1891, reads as follows: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, now inetand sitting in General Assembly, and by the au thority of the same, That the trustees of the several school districts in the county shall report to the County Au ditor the names of all taxable polls in their respective districts, and said Au ditor shall enter the same upon the tax duplicate to be furnished the County Treasurer. That said names so fur nished shall be published annually'in a newspaper published at the county seat once a week for three consecutive weeks, and where there is no paper published at the county seat, then in some other paper having general cir culation in the county. Under and by virtue of the authority conferred by said section I call upon School Trustees of all the school districts in Edgefield county to make to me at once a full and complete list of persons in their respective dis tricts who are liable to poll tax. J, B; DAVIS, Co. Auditor. Danger in Crowd i nc the Toes. It is well known that the connection between the nerves in the feet, and espe cially those in the great toe. and the brain and general nervous organization is strong. Dr. Brown-Sequard mentions a patient who, whenever he bore the weight of his body on the toes of his right foot, became violently insane. He also speaks of another case where pres sure on the toe caused severe nervous paroxysms. These cases simply show the impor tance of a proper'care of the feet, a por tion of the body that many people neg lect. They think that they can crowd their feet into tight shoes and abuse them withont serions results. . They can't do it, however. This crowding of five toes into a space not large enough for three, results in pressing the joints ont of shape and sometimes making them inactive and powerless. No man with his toes half paraded can walk properly. The control of the toes is necessary for a springy step. Broad soles and low heels give room for al J thc toes and allow perfect freedom of action to every muscle. People who havo false standards of beauty for the feet, however, insist on wearing a shoe that is not natural in shape, and the result is great discomfort, and in some cases death. As a consequence of these abuses we are forgetting how to walk properly. Perhaps you don't believe it, but just watch the parade on Broadway some fine afternoon and see how few men and women walk on the street as if they were not conscious of tight shoes and deformed feet.-Interview in New York Sun. _ The Age of Coal Barning. I have heard that when King Hudson, in the zenith of his fame, was asked as to what his railways were to do when all the coal was bumed out, ho replied, that by that time we should have learned how to burn water. Those who are asked the same question now will often reply that they will use electricity, and doubt less think that they have thus disposed of the question. The fallacy of such answers is obvious. A so called "water gas" may no doubt be used for developing heat, but it is not the water which supplies the energy. Trains may be run by electricity, but all that the electricity does is to convey the energy from the point where it is generated to the train which is in mo tion. Electricity is itself no more a source of power than is the rope with which a horse drags a boat along the canal. The fact is that a very large part of the boasted advance of civilization is merely the acquisition of au increased capability of squandering. For what are we doing every day but devising fresh appliances to exhaust with ever greater rapidity tho hoard of coal. Robert Ball in Fortnightly Review. When Finished. Busy persons, forced to defend them selves from interminable talkers, who have little to say, can appreciate a hint to which Henry rv* of France once re sorted. A parliamentary deputy called upon bim and made a long speech. Tho king listened patiently for a time, then he decided that his visitor would do well to condense his remarks. He took him by the hand and led him to where they could see the gallery of the Louvre. "What do you think of that building? When it is finished it will be a good thing, will it not?" "Yes," replied the man of many words, not guessing what was coming next. "Well, monsieur, that is just the way with your discourse," was the king's mild observation.-Youth's Companion.
