He was not quick enough and the tender struck him in the back. He was dragged down the track for over 200 yards aml.his body was fearfully mangled.

Tue Joint Sunday School Convention, which convened in White Rjck last Friday, wa3 largely attended by delegates and friends of the convention. Rev. S. C. Ballentine, assisted by his congregation, with his usual thoughtfuluess, had all the arrange ments made for the entertainment of the visitors.

Tue singing was exceptionally fine and charming and showed that Mr. J. E. Haltiwanger had faithfully and efficiently instructed his class.

THE GENUINE BOTTLE J r BEARS THE NAME, 4 S PERRY DAVIS & SON. \ Tha Earbecies Last Week. Mr. Daniel Drafts' barbecue on Saturday of last week, was by far the largest one held this season. People from far and near were present in large numbers and the candidates for the various county oflices were much in evidence. Dr. Stokes and Mr. iJrantley, candidates for Congress were present and addressed the people on national issues. That of Frye & Taylor, near Lewiedale, while not having so much politics mixed up with it, was none the less a pleasant one. The neighborhood turned out to have a good dinner and spend a pleasant day in social intercourse. The barbecues given last Saturday were well attended by tue people 01 tlie vicinity in which they were held. Both Dr. Stokes and Mr. Brautley, candidates for Congress, spoke at Batesburg and some of the county candidates of Lexington and Saluda counties were also present. The one at Riston given by D. F. Shumpert was a very quiet, but enj oyable affair, more like a family re union. Everybody went to have a good time and in this respect they were not disappointed. The young folk tipped the light fantastic toe till the shades of night came stealing on. Incipient Fire. List Wednesday afternoon about <5 o'clock smoke was seen issuing from the law office of Graham & Nelson, over Dr. J. E. Kaufmaun's drug store. Fortunately for our town several persons were standing near and immediately rushed up stairs, broke open the door and found the stack of wood on fire. Mr. Johu W. Earhardt, Newberry's veteran fireman being among the first to reach the fire, did the proper thing at the proper time, and, with others, succeeded in extinguishing the flames before any damage was done. It is supposed that the origin of the fire was from a cigar stump being thrown among the wood. It was a fortunate thing that the fire was discovered as i ? ..L.I !i J1 - .1, soon a.3 it was ior nau it rnaue sucn headway as to get beyond control nearly the whole of the business portion of the town would have been laid in ashe9. The Mosqnito Fleet. While the Scuflletown Guards had the enemy surrounded in Hen Rjost and the Ridge Pea Rifles had those at Watermelon Patch hemmed in, the Mosquito fleet under Admiral Gallinipper, silently sailed up Twelve Mile creek, entered Factory Bay and immediately proceeded to storm Lexington. For several night9 the singing of the flying missels was fearful. Men, women and children walked the floors in nervous anxiety, in search of a place of safety. Owing, however, to the bad aim of the gunners of the fleet, none of the houses were hit and about the only damage done, aside from the inconvenience of being kept awake by the "singiDg", was many small red spots on the body of nu merous persons. A detachment of the Guards and Rifles, by force a marches, arrived at the scene of action and by deeds of unparelleled heroic bravery and brilliant maneu veis, finally succeeded in dislodging the enemy, and the fleet then retired to its anchorage in the dark lagoons and shady retreats in and around the mouth of Twelve Mile creek. Organiz-o Pension Board:. Iu compliance with the requirements of Section 951 of the amended pension act, there will be a meeting Saturday, August 27th, at 2 p. m, of the surviving soldiers who were in the service of the Confederate States, or of the State of South Carolina, in the late war between the States, residing in the several townships of the county of Lexington, S. f ii - - ..c _i k? ? , I OX' lue purposu oi eieouug uy u i mfljority vote, three of their members or reputable citizens, who are not applicants for pensions, to con- i stitute and be known as the Town- j ship Examining Board of Pensions.

Roof, Chairman County Pension Board. Good Nsws from Col. Wilie Jones. The War Department G ants All That Was Asked Tue (Co!ural?iu) ttate. There may be some hope yet for 1 the second regiment, and everybody ! will be delighted to hear the good news sent yesterday by Col. Wilie Jones in a t< lfgrain from Washington In fi.\r litilovtio IVU b V \ ' V I During the morning tbis is the inD O formation which cinue froui the commander of the regiment, who went to Washington a few days ago: Washington, July Jl. Gov. W. II. Ellerbe, Columbia, S. C. With valuable assistance of Senator McLaurin the war department has granted all we wanted, and I do not think there will be any trouble to get up second regiment now. Wilie Jones. This is a better result than many looked for, and it shows that the administration is willing to give this State all the assistance she needs and that South Carolina's second regiment is wanted. Col. Jones said before leaving that he would ask Secretary Alger to allow him or Capt. Fuller to appoint at least six or eight additional mustering officers ami also local examining physicians in any town where it was likely recruits could be had. Col. Janes thought if these and a few other minor points were granted him that the regiment could bo formed in a short while, and from his telegram it is seen that his requests have been granted iu full. This will put new life into the work of recruiting, and everybody in the State will be glad if the new rules should prove effective enough to make the second regiment assured. Spain Accepts America's Peace Terms. The following is the official state ment given out by authority of the President at the state department as t) the terms of peace offered by the United States. In order to remove any misapprehension in regard to the negotiations as to paco between the United States and Spain it is deemed proper to say that the terms offered by the United States to Spain in the note handed to the French ambassador are in substance as follows: "The President does not now put forward any claim for pecuniary in demnity, but requires the relinquishment of all claim of sovereignty over or title to the island of Cuba as well as to the immediate evacuation by Spain of the island; the cession to the United States and immediate evacuation of Porto Rico and other islands under Spanish sovereignty in the West Indies; and the like cession of an island in the Ladrones. The United States will occupy and hold the city, bay and harbor of Manila pending the conclusion of a treaty of peace which shall determine the control, disposition and government of the Philippines." ? Valuable to "Women. Especially valuable to women is Browns' Iron Bitters. Backache vanishes, headache disappears, strength takes the place of weakness, and the glow of health readily conies to the pallid check when this wonderful n medv is taken. For sickly children or overworked men it has no equal. No home should l?e without this famous' remedy. Browns' iron Bitters is sold by all dtaleru. * ? - If you make money your god it will plague you like the devil. A little siu has as much death in it as big ones. If you can't swim, never wade iD unknown waters. Few wear their characters like their cloaks?out side. Pot luck may be poor luck if taken with a straDger. A poor picture is not helped by being put in a good light. In a religious controversy ferocity is not the only sign of fidelity. True men are the diamonds of history. Some guns kick; revenge is one of them. It is not cowardice to fear to do wrong. Competitive Examination. Otli :e of COUNTY SUFT. OF EDUCATION. Lexington, S. C., July 20. 1808.
