Hamilton McGill whs u laborer on the farm of Mr Capers Eaddy who lives near Cades in this (Williamsburg) county. He is the son of an old woman who was the slave cook of Mr Eaddy's father, hence ho was allowed a 1 $ great many privileges around the house and yard. On May 10th, Hamilton ravished Collie Eaddy, the little nine year old daughter and the child got away from hiin and went to her mother. The negro was arrested and quietly brought to jail. Court convened within the next ten ; days. M J Hirsch Esq, was apjHiintod by the court to defend >. i I him and did so with ability.

IN SON me uispeiisary. Kev. W. A. Butts on South Carolina Monopoly. To the Kditor of The State. It goes without saying that, as a commonwealth, we are deve^pping in our educational corpus a most wretched septic condition, morally speaking, as a consequence of the inflow of the dispensary profits. The horror of bloodpoisoning' ' ordinarily makes mortals wary, least there he inoculation of the virus; hut in the mat lor or morals men aro strangely inditl'erent to such a possible perail. Let us reflect that of all poisons the most virulent and persistent are those which obscurely, slowly, yet surely, gain possession of tho strongholds of tho circulation. Once tho blood is thus contaminated a torrilie battle for life ensues. Tho fact that tho educational in-1 terosts of our Stateare linancially fostered by the fund arising from tho legalised sale of spirituous liquors, will necessarily cause tho child iniii? 1 (whether of youth or adult) to inihihe the notion that j the liquor trariic is not so great an evil after all. Moreover, tho ! insidious untruth will invest the clulil heart, that the drink hahit cannot ho so hideous us mothers and preachers have all along declared Such infamous notions will he irresistably installed into i the imagination of our confiding children and common folk, and by such unscrupulous deception we destroy their faith and future. May heaven and manhood forefend. There is a well-defined prin ciple in the codo of political, Bocial and religions ethics admonishing us to "beware of the Greeks hearing gifts." Any profit of the dispensary, or other systems of traffic in intoxi-1 cants, accruing to so praiseworthy a cause as education, necessarily tends to fasten that "sin of all villainies," as John Wesley styled the traffic, upon our system of government; and, commits the awful blasphemy of condoning that which God condemns.

The main auditorium of the building is one of * the largest in the city, but it was I crowded with voters who had as- f semhlcd to hear what the men 1 with a burning desire to serve the c State of South Carolina hail to say for themse.vcs. There were present, all told, wenty peven speakers, and as a lateral consequence the meeting ' vas not over till a late hour, notvithstanding the fact that it started 1 it six o'clock in the afternoon. The chairman allowed a half 0 lour to each of tho four men who vant to 1)0 governor, whilo the mailer fry had to say their Hay a n ten minutes. There was little or nothing of ^ h he excitement, not to say rowdysin, that used to mark the cam v >nign meeting of six, eight and 1 en years ago.

Mr Gary and Mr Patterson are welcome to all they can pet out f the fact that last winter The Mountaineer advised the prohilition and local option members f the Legislature to unite in ighting the dispensary.
