Where Do You Stand. Every growing and ambitious! city is composed of three elements: l Those who work patriotically, j vigorously and intelligently for n? nuvunceiiieni; mose wUo are in a state of apathy or indifference, ; and those who take a curious delight in discouraging the efforts1 of others by ridicule, by a persistent denial that any progress can or has been accomplished and boasting of every other city be- j side their own. The last class, are called croakers, but they aie roally something worse, for their opposition does not arise simply from despondency, but from that unenviable spirit which will neither act itself nor suffer others to act.?Ex.

We used to hear that 4'pretty ^ is as pretty does." What have wo come to when every little air of a fast, profane, whiskey drinking and murderous woman is dressed up in words of flattery, while not a word of comment is n made on the general deviltry of her character.

Suicide of a Boy. j Robert Love, a ten-year old hoy in Mecklenburg county, N. C., hanged himself last Saturday because his mother would not allow him to go fishing.

New Affidavits Offered to Prove That the Man Who Killed an Alleged Constable Should be Held. Special to Greenville News. Columbia, April 12.?Judge Watts this afternoon refused to grant bail to W H Meetze. The prosecution introduced two additional affidavits, one of them made by a white man named Jeffcoat,iiv which he says that he was standing within a few paces of the man and that Meetze had started the vpiarw rei r?y angering Cartledge, a?di when some one cried out "shoot him", Meetzc began to fire and not until he had fired did Cartledge advance, and then he was trying to crab the pistol. Cartledge had neither a pistol nor a pair of knocks. The other affidavit, by Mr Powell, was to the effect that the bottle of whiskey which hnd been found in Cartledge's pocket was furnished to the physician by a bystander in order that he might inject it into the broast of Cartledge, which he did several times, and that the bottle was last seen, by him in the hands of a policeman. Solicitor Thurmond and Mr. Johnstone argued that the testimony would lead any dispassionate mind to conclude that murder had probably been committed and! that the prisoner was not entitled to hail. Mr Nelson held that there had been no evidence of murder* and even if bis client was guilty of manslaughter he would be entitled to bail. Id the course of one of his flights of oratory he referred to Col. Johnston as hounding down the prisoner and Mr. Johnstone promptly denied him the right to use such language and insisted tfiat he do not. Mr Nel son said the case had gotten down to be one of persecution and not of prosecution. He and Johnstonehad a lively apat with some talk about settling outside, but only a "court row." Judge Watts said that if be conaided the evidence given liefore the jury alone he would grant bail but in view of the affidavits ho would refuse it without prejudice to the case. FIRE ON THE OCONEE LINE. .1 L McCajrley Loses Eleven Horses and Other St??ck?Incendiary's Work. Cor. Greenville News. Walh&lla, April 11. ?New?* reached here today that the l>arn of J L McCarley, Esq., of the lower section of the county, was burned last night. The destruction wus heavy. Eleven horses and mules, sixteen head of cattle, 500 bushels of corn, buggies, wagons, etc., were all consumed. The fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary. Should any one ever be brought to trial for this burning a nice legal point might be raised as to whether the bam was fired in Oconee or Anderson county aw the line between these two cuuotiee di v the building.
