The Beaufort Qazette reports the sale of twenty-five bags of long staple cotton at fifty-five COD ts per pound. Surely the growers of Sea Island cotton have much'to ' give thanks for. The consumers need not any " longer be afraid to ett canned m?ate. Two thousand inspectors * are now employed by the govern ment to keep a constant ey9 on the slaughter houses. The cattle - .are inspected in the pens before ??they are killed and every step of A the canning process is followed by frigid inspectors until -the. meats aie placed in cases ready for shipment. The old stock of eau ned meats is exhausted aud there need be no misgivings as to that . now being offered for sale. The importance of providing Fpaedy punishment for persons who Bre guilty of atrocious crimes is realized as never before. In Tex as last week, a man was tried and legally executed within three days after he committed a murder. An . occasional speedy trial, fol lowed by a speedy execution, in . each'county iu the state would have a very marked effect in de creasing capital crimes. You can count on there being enough fanatics at the D?rth to see that negro soldiers do not suffer for having shot into the homes of southerners and killed some of tbem in bed.-Newberry Observer. r It is ^ Bource of gratification, .however, that the number of northern fanatics is decreasing, and that possibly within anothej -generation their tribe^jpii?l?iave become extinct. Jk?tio-morrow, national Thanks 'giving Day, be suitably observed. While our barns and cribs may not be as full as during former years, yet in numberless ways God has abundantly blessed his people. Not only bas every need heen supplied, but rbis' section has been spared many disasters, such us storm and pestilence. Our vision is only finite God's is infinite. What seems to the human eye to be a misfortuue may be a disguised blessing. May the spirit of thankfulness abound on to morrow. .Whenever the Mormon mis aionaries come this way, dis seminating their damnable doc trines, they should be required to move on with all possiblo haste. Although they deny the fact that their cburch teaches . or encoura ges polygamy, Joseph Smith, the president of the Mormon church, has recently been convicted and fined for practicing polygamy, .fte ha6 five wives and forty-three children. Smith says that all of his marriages were entered into with the sanction of the church.. .God save us from such a church Paid High for Experience. The almost unprecedented pros perity that has been visited upon .the south for several years has caused many individuals to be come almost criminally extrava gant and many banks and mer chants to become 'entirely too lax in their methods. Some have had to pay well for their experiences ; of the present year, but will profit by them for some time to come. According to the Saluda cor respondent to the News and Cou rier, a white man of that county "recently left for parts unknown, after having become invohed, it is alleged, in several banking transactions bf a shady1 nature during the past year. It is report . ed that one of the b&nfcs at Bates burg will lose some $300, one at Ninety Six almost as much, while another at Newberry will be a loser for eomething like $200." Banks and merchants, especial ly the latter, have in some cases been entirely too careless and reckless in their advances. .Several iustances have come with S?>r" "??? '('.. ZS*' ..- - .? ' in the writer's observation in which colored men have become involved during the present year to the amount of three or four hundred dollars, whan, in poin t of fact, they owned only a few dollars' worth of property. Such methods will, of course, prove disastrous to the firms or personp making such advances and will be exceedingly demoralizing to labor. The adveias couditions that prevail at present may prove to be a blessing h ^disguise by causing business men, including farmers; merchants and bankers, to return to saner and safer meth ods. \ COLD SPRING. The Woodman of the World at Parksville gave an oyster supper lase Tuesday night.

Negro Girl Killed at Johnston on Toe setay and 'White Man Fri ^^-""clay Night? '-ATL. Coles, colored, who was tried at the last term -of court for the murder of Goode Gomillion, resulting in a mistrial, was com mitted to jail on Wednesday last for killing a ten-year old negro girl in the town of Johnston. Tho killing it seems was the result of a family quarrel. At tho coroner's inquest a negro boy 'testified that he saw Coles, or a person he be lieved to be him, shoot tho child in the bead. On Friday night L. Y. Dorn, a young white man about 25 years of age who resided near Eulala, in Saluda county, was shot and killed by a negro by the name of Charles Gomillion, who was com mitted to jail on Saturday. YouDg Dorn arrived at John ston on the train Friday evening and, being under the influence of liquor, started a row with negroes s at the depot. Later he went to the house of a negro named Gomil lion and rattled the window, making no reply ?vbeu Gomillion called to know who it was. . When Gomillion opened the window he says he saw the man crouched on the ground and, thinking it was some one after him, he fired at the man with a gun. Gomillion then walked up town, found the marshal and re ported that he had shot a man at his house, . and did not know whether the man was dead or not. Investigation developod the fact that Dorn bad been shDt but wae not dead. He was taken to the town lock-up where he died an hour later. Gomillion's aunt and uncle have been killed recently and he says when he opened the window and saw a man crouching on the ground he thought it was someone after him. With this belief he took down his gun and fired. So far as Tho Advertiser has been able to learn, public senti ment ?6 in favor of Gomillion. The Southern. Railway's Holiday Rates.
