C., SeptrS.-A" dastardly outrage, embodying or implying all the several Crimes which men most strongly'Censure and the law most severely punishes, was committed in Colle tonbounty about fifteen miles from tip city, yesterday morning. Edward Thompson and his family:-^e in ! an humble little house <m the Dochesaer road, one? mile, frffin the Ashely Phosphate Worked Mr. Thomson is night watchman at the works. His household consisted of his wife, his eighteen-year old son, George Franklin, and a laugh ter one year older. Wednesday evening Thompson went, as usual, to his worklit the mill. His daughter was spending a whilo in the city, and ap the| only ones left at home for'the ni?;were Mrs. Thompson and young |*ank. About 4 o'cleck yestsrday mmning Mrs. .Thompson's attention was attracted by some noise jn th?'yard and she immediately got np and started ou to see what was the mat ter. She noticed the yard ? looked very bright, and closer obsej^tion proved that tbs- fence wi The plucky little woman opening the door togo and p the flames, when she was rudely aside, and the next in pistol ball almost grazed he As the^foremopt of a gangly burly negroes pushed his ^tj the house. Mrs. Thompson' Dat to ?Frank to come quicklpv.The young man responded immediately and came running out of thef back room to where the negro waj. As be approached the brute -ia: (other mot was fired and Frank .T- irpmp 3on fell dead before his m\ th?r's 3yes- ' liff The poor woman was ?lTnst jrazed wi' ~. ess had ; ;o rush a? legro ma 3rown. I muse an- " his time Thompso session o: They then sei nre io a oaie ot hay md other things lying in a small .bed adjoining the house and start id off. Brown fired into tho crowd ust as they emerged from the front loor, and at the report of the gun >ne of them fell. The others how ever, quickly picked him up and carried him off a little way, where :hey all got into a wagon and Irove off in a hurry. Brown left the scene immediate ly and went off to tell Mr. [Thomp son of the misfortune which had befallen his family. The officials af the Ashley Company were noti fied, and Chief of Police Martin was at once communicated with. He dispatched Detective Brennan and James Hogan to investigate the eas?, and these officers will do every thing possible to apprehend the guilty parties ami land them in jail. What was the motive? It could not have been murder, for Thompson is well known around that section, and everyone is aware the he is never at home of nights. His son, moreover, was a quiet, iuoensive youth, who did odd jobs about the house and never had a quarrel in his life, so far as known. It is not probable that negroes could have entered the premises with the intention of robbing the house, for a night watchman is not generally supposed to have any consideaable amount ot valu ables. The impression in the neighbor hood is that the intention was to commit a blacker crime than either of those named, and that only peculiar circumstances and unexpected developments preven ted such a consummation. As to who the negroes were no one can say just yet. Mrs. Thompson states that she did not recognize any of the five, and it ls natural, therefore, to suppose that they did not belong about the Ashley Works. As they left going in the direction of the Nine-mile Bottom, it is hightly probable that the gang came from that notorious locality and are among the out laws that infest .lie region between the Junction and Lincolnville.

A BAREFOOTED SLAYEE. J ust Sixty-three Rattlesnakes for One Day's Spoil. Fredericksburg Star. While we are telling snake stories the following good one comes to us from tho mountain region, Mr. E. T. Dulin standing as authority. The country around Little Big Black Mountain is a ginseng re gion, and the -Parker family are noted as "sengers." The girls go out barefooted in the mountains, though the country is infested with rattlesnakes and copperheads, and dig the ginseng, for which they get good prices at the stores, from which it is taken to Pennington Crap for shipment. But along Clover Gap and up Rattlesnake Creek there are num berless reptile*. Beckie Parker is a good girl, about 19 years of age, ?trong, healthy looking, and hand ?ome,but with avery determined Pace. She is a splendid shot, and >ften takes her Winchester. She goes after ginseng barefooted md often alone. The roots are gathered in May and September, md during the month just past ihe did a thriving business. One lay, however, she came across a len of rattlesnakes. She had only itones and sticks with wb^ch to ight the desperate battle. Some >f the snakes were larger than a nan's arm, and a few of them as arge as the calf of a man's leg. Tor hours she fought them as they ussed aud writhed and rattled ?round her. But the brave, deter ained girl battled with them until he , exterminated everyone that Lid not succeed in hiding among he crevices of rocks and in the [euse undergrowth. WThen she had rushed the last one to be seen she ounted the dead, and there were ast sixty-three. Vvnm President Evans. ion uongress to issue imco we ired millions of government notes o be drtributed throughout the ioutli for the purpose of moving ho cotton crop. Now, while I do lot think it necessary to call the State Alliance to meet in exta ses i?n, at the same timo if the equisite number of County Alli -nces make such a request I will heerfully do so. I think it will be best for the ?ounty Alliances to meet at once ind take such action on theee sub sets as their judgment dictates. ?f it is to our interest to issue ?otton certificates, le? each County Uliance make its own arrange neuts to do so. Such temporary irrangements can only be local in heir application and should be mder the control of local authori ies. But let us not lose sight of he main issue, that of demanding >f Congress an increase in the rolum*) of currency. Now is the ;ime for us to press this demand. The banks, by their action in ?BSU ng clearing house certificates, not >nly admit, but prove that the Alliance is right in demanding an increase in the volume of currency, and have virtually adopted the principle of our sub-treasury ?cheme. Let each Alliance reit arate our demand for more money I through its Congressman, and let it be understood at once that the rights and interests of the agri cultural classes must be considered and protected by Congress or we will know the reason why. We mean business and intend j that this government shall be run in the interest of the people, and not in the speculators. A stay law would be a doubtful benefit to the farmer, and I would advise a very careful consideration of the matter by our people before they demand it of the Legislature. The Alliance must do nothing I that will reflect upon the honesty [ and integrity of its members. Any law, to stay the collection of a debt made prior to the enactment of j such a law would be unconstitu tional, having been so declared b, the Supreme Court of the State in 1866. A stay law, iustead of bring ing us relief, in my humble judg ment, would bring us ruin. W. D. EVANS, Pres. Farmers' State Alliance S. C. Subscribe te the Edgefield AD VBRTISEB. MISSISSIPPI'S ME?EOB. It Surprises a Farmer by Drop ping- Near Him. Chicago Post. Mr. Mattax, of Mississippi, was housing his hens. The night was somewhat cloudy. He had visited his barns and was on the point of returning to his hoase, when al] at ou ce he heard a peculiar hissing | sound overhead, and at the same time a luminous glow fell all around him, aj if the moon had suddenly emerged from a dark cloud. He looked up and was al most paralyzed at the sight of a brilliant, fiery globe descendiDg through the air with the speed of lightaiM?, and shooting a comet like tail far into the heavens. So rapid was the descent that it was mly visible for a second, but in hat brief space, bo says*he suffer ;d an eternity of unspeakable error. The fire ball struck the earth vith a dull report scarcely 300 rards from where he stood. It was onie minutes before he could re over the use of his limbs, when, unning hastily to his house, he roused the family, and several aborers about the place, telling bern a comet bad struck the earth nd they had only a few minutes o pray. In a short while the whole plan ition was up, and women and hildren were heard crying and implicating heaven for mercy, 'hey could not get closer that 30 j ards on account of the heat and oxious funns of sulphur and gas Inch the stone emitted.

From what we can learn ^ f the situation it is the phosphate c eople who want the earth. The s o vernor talked as fairly as a maa r ould after the damage by the j urricane was known. He con- g Bded frankly that the phosphate ^ liners had lost heavily and that c be State should share the loss and r elp them to recover. Their pro- t osition that they be allowed to j line indefinitely at fifty cents a a ton looks like an abuse of gen- f rosity and we think the governor a ras right in refusing to encourage ^ uch a suggestion. c There ought to be fair play and T oncessions on both sides. This \ s not a time for the State and her c ?ost important industries to be t rying to rob each other. j Let all the facts and figures be ? leveloped and stated. When that { las been done the State authorities j viii be in position to say what ] hey can do to help the phosphate , nen with justice to the State. If ( hose who are now engaged in the . juBiness refuse to accept fair terms, , ifforts should be made to have )thers take their places. Hired by Heartless Motliers-They are Captured. VIENNA, Sept. 14.-Two women living in separate villages in the district of Kuttenberg. Bohemia, bave been arrested for murdering children whose parents desired to have them out of the way, either be cause of deformity or because the parents were too poor or to > heart less to take care of them or because the children were illegitimate. These woman, it is started, con tracted to dispose of the bodies ef fectually and guaranteed secrecy for stated sums of money. Tho price usually charged for the mur der of a child was five florins. They seem to have done a large trade and felt so safe from detec tion that they kept records of money received, from whom re ceived, the age and description of the child and when disposed of. By the help of these records it is thought a large number of persons will be brought to. the bar of justice.

Veterans Advised to Assassinate Cleveland and Smith. PITTSBURG, Sept. 13.-One of the most despicable schemes of which a man can be guilty, was laid bare in the local pension office in the Federal building yesterday. A pension attorney has been urging old soldiers to organize and to as sassinate President Grover Cleve land and Secretary Hoke Smith of the Department of the Interior. The man is reported to be of mind, but in the light of his in famous scheme, his reputation on that point likely needs investiga tion. The pension attorney has been enraged at Secretary Smith's endeavor to make the pension lists rolls of honor. He says it is an attempt to starve old soldiers and that the old way to stop it is to as sassinate the President and Secre tary Smith. The pension attorney is not a Pittsburger, it is said, although ais identity is kept secret at pres ent. The entire matter is reported o Washington and will be inves igated by the authorities. The oolish attorney has made himself iable to charges of inciting trea ion. ?ult Talking Through Your Hat. Lnderson People Advocate. . The Anderson People Advocate inds in the statement that four of South Carolina's national banks .re on the roll of honor of the J reasury departments as having ? urplus and undividad profits in I xcess of their capita], refutation 1 f the predictions of the last State 1 ampaign that Governor Tillman's < e-election would drive away capi- 1 al and injure the State's credit. 1 The governor has done his full ) art to drive away capital and ruin i redit and continues in that work, i Iis performances have sent thous- I nds and thousands of dollars out < *>??A stftfp. How many thousands < han their capital stock are placea j ?n this roll.' And you went on to ( ay that, "no Southern States have , nore and only three or four of the arger Northern States excel little Jouth Carolina in this respect." vhich plainly means that her iredit is first-class or it means ?othing. And you go on to say .bove that "the governor has done 1 tis full part to dxive away capital md ruin credit, and that his per ormances have sent thousands .nd thousands of dollars out of i he State." Name a few instances ] ?utsido of the whiskey business, vhich the State can well afford to , ose. Ruinod the credit of the Hate, has he, when he successfully < .efunded the State debt at 4 1-2 ' jer cent, in the face of th? most gigantic panic this country has iver known? Ruined the credit of ;he State, has he, when Treasurer Bamberg could not refund $4oo,000 >f deficiency bonds at 4 1-2 per sent, in New York and had to ap peal to Charleston capitalists to some to his aid, and but for Geo. W. Williams, T. J. Robertson and others, he probably could not have done it. The history of this transaction is a matter of record in the State House. "How many thousands of dollars he has been the means of keeping away nobody knows." Of course not. But some body does know that a $700,000 cotton mill is going up on the banks of the Columbia canal, every dollar of which has come here from the North. Somebody does know that numerous other cotton mills are going up in different parts of the State. Somebody does know that the phosphate industry was never so vigorous as it has | been for the last several months. Somebody does know that an im portant railroad connection is be ing built in this State by the Atlantic Coast Line system, and that the money is coming from elsewhere. Oh ! pshaw, quit talk ing through your hat. No person should travel without a box of Ayer's Pills.

L. H. Abbeville Medium. Strange mysterious letters and what do they mean? For seventy five years these enigmatical hiero glyphical letters have confronted the passing public and the pro phetic ken of none has been suffi cient to solve their mystery. Two miles above Mt. Carmel in the dreary solitude of a dismal forest a huge rock of antediluvian date casts its shadow upon the public highway, and on this rock is carved the symbolical letters L. H. which when translated into the vernacu lar tradition says stands for tho name of Louis Howlin. On the fatal night of the 2oth of Decem ber, 1818, when the world was en joying the misrule of Christmas this strange deluded man .left his home, his wife, his fireside, and little children to visit a neighbor ing distillery where "drouthy nee bors, neebors meet" and before the, fu]l orbed moon went down his ex cesses had been so great he lay ' down to die. Tradition tells us that the night of the 25th of De cember, 1818, was one long to be remembered, anight of dread,fear and alarm. An arctic wave seemed to be rolling over the earth, and the untamed winds wild with fury roared as they had never been heard before. The cattle upon a thousand hills were dying with cold, and all that was human felt forcibly the words of Byron' "All earth was but one thought, and Uiat Is death immediate and inglorious." Such was the character of the aight when this benumbed and be sotted Bonosus was trying to thread the intricacies of he woods to find ns way back to the vacant chair ie had left in the ramshackle ?abin he called home. His intel lectual faculties were disorded with ;he demon of strong drink and it ?ras pirhaps never until this dread ful night that he realized what a fearful thing intemperance is. Slowly dying, all pitiless and alone, - lespicable in his own eyes he sinks lown to rest. Brutalized with ii; J ?J beautiful. Her euuowv the highest order. Her superiority of mind made her the central figure in every circle in which she moved.' But for the demoi of strong drink her name might have gone down to posterity with honor and respect. She was truly an intellectual wo man. Her writings exhibited the highest order of genius, for she fed on nothing but the beautiful. An intellectual vigor characterized her conversation, and only touching sentiment was the utterance of her lips. But a skeleton was at her door and this horrible incubus rested upon her soul. Louis was a Drunkard. Failing under the press are of life with no smiling Oasis to cheer the heart being overcome by the powers of darkness she committed suicide. Upon her table was found the following last words as echoed from her harp : "Despair is mine, relief in death I see, I have no fears to meet the tomb, The sun may shine no more for mc But bury me where flowers bloom The subtile cup methinks to drink To quaff its dregs is not too soon I have no fears I will not shrink But bury me where flowers bloom." Near a clump of pines which i stands georgeously out against thc blue hills of the beautiful Savan-. nah can be seen the grave of the' accomplished Malinda. Stillness and solemnity characterize the place and naught is there to bf heard but - the dance -r the Fairy in the shine of the mt" . Seventy five years ago brandy and salt was the great nerve restorer of the age 'Twas then that appetite was in the ascendant, and sottishness had not learned to blush and the country was dancing a Bacchenalian reel. This fearful condition of things continued until the Nation's soul was sick, and the star of the Dis pensary rose upon the gilded horir zon. Under this beautifvl star we are glad to say the whiskey des potism of the nation is trembling, and though earthquakes rumble beneath it, and lightnings play around it yet it will shine on an : ; the baletul barroom philosophy o? the age will never restore th promiscuous saloon. Te Deumso praise are going up from counties thousands, and the music we nea is the glad refrain of women an children echoing the language-o divinity-"Good will to men o earth, peace and glory to God i the highest." Surely the terribl judgments of Heaven have falle upon the whiskey world, for i every town and Jhamlet the spiej of Tillman arenas thick as leave in Valombrosa. A grievous plagu has smitten the demon and the af for once is filled .with notes of 1 mentation. The dread line has been passe the disordered ranks have bee broken aud the next step will Prohibition.
