I We regret that the presure on our space this week will cause us unavoidably to leave out several articles and local matters of importance. The car with the extension work of Olemson college will be at Alston on Tuesday next, the 10th, and will exhibit there, and give valuable instruction on practical questions relating to agriculture, mechanical, AhWrical. civil' engineering, &c. There will be specimens of plants, insects, minerals, etc., also forty rarities of cotton, thirty of corn and thirty of cowpeas. Everyone in the | c - vicinity from our comity should go over. It will be an. object lesson and much valuable information will be gained. A picnic dinner is suggested and will be enjoyed at that place on this occasion.

Young Woman's Horrible Death at Batesburg?Her Remains Brought to Columbia Home. Batesburg, June 29.?Quite a deplorable tragedy occurred at the Middleburg mills of this place about 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon in which Mrs. Bessie Corley was so badly burned that she died after a lingering death in life of seven hours. It seems that Mrs. Corley was try | ing to kindle a fire in a stove preparatory to cooking the evening meal for herself and hnsband and experiencing some difficulty therewith, she took a two gallon kerosene can to pour some of the oil on the coals in the stove. The can exploded and Mrs. Corley was enveloped in flames; her clothes were entirely consumed and she was burned alniost to a cinder, yet 3he lived in excruciating torture for seven hours and died about 1 o? clock this morning. The house in which she lived was burned to the ground and the whole mill village would in all probability have been burned had not the wind been blowing in a direction that carried the flames and sparks away from the village. Mrs. Corley was the wife of Mr. S. M. Corley and a daughter of Mrs. Seay, | . ofjColumbia. She came here with her husband about nine months ago from Lexington. She was in vigorous young womanhood, being only seventeen years of age. She will be buried this afternoon at her old home, near Killians, Richland county. She leaves besides her husband, a mother one brother, and three sisters to mourn her awfully and untimely end. The stricken family have the sym pathy of the entire community. Mrs. Corley before her marriage was Miss Bessie Seay. She was the daughter of Mrs. Ellen H. Seay and her father was accidentally killed several years ago in a runaway in which the horse ran over the embankment near the reservoir. She had been married only a year and her husband had recently moved to Batesburg from Lexington to work in the Middleburg I QIIPPflRT I UUI I VII I SCOTT'S EMULSION serves a a bridge to carry the weakened and starved system along until it can find firm support in ordinary food.
