Fatal shcoting.
W. copy the fol!. wing aecount of

tihe Ed_Cield Adcertifr. Although
not so stated in the paragraph, we
L:arn that a feud has existed between
the families for many years.
With shuddering we chronicle a
bloody affray which took place in our
town on Tuesday last. The parties in
this affair were Mr. Lovett Gomilion
and his son. Mr. Wm. Gomilion, of
the one part, and Mr. Arthur Glover,
of the other. Mr. Gomilion is a man
of about fifty-five years of age. His
son was a young man of twenty or
twenty-one. Their home is seven
miles East of our town. Mr. Glover
is a man of thirty-six or thirty-eight.
and is a citizen of our town. Both
parties belong to old District families
of the highest respectability. Some
five or six weeks ago, Mr. Lovett
Gomilion and Mr. Glover had angry
words in front of our office. Young
Gonilion was not present, but upon
hearing of the matter, became deeply
incensed against Glover. As this
case will come before our courts, we
conceive it our duty to mention not
one of the various rumors, reports,
or even solemn asseverations con
cerning it; which,. as usual on such
occasions, are abundant and rife-lest
we unwittingly create prejudice pro
or con. Suffice it to say that on
Tuesday last, in the drug store of Mr.
A. A. Clisby, young Gomilion was
shot dead by Mr. Glover, and Mr.
Lovett Gomilion so seriously wounded
that scarcely a hope can be entertain
ed of his recovery. The affair created
intense excitement, and a pall of sor
row hangs over our community. Mr.
Glover will appear before Judge
Carpenter this (Wednesday) evening,
and give bond for his appearance at
the next term of court.
An Important Decision.
THE SUPREME COURT RULES THAT
A CITIZEN AND TAXPAYER HAS A
RIGHT TO RESORT TO JUDICIAL
PROCEEDINGS F O R PROTECTION
AGAINST THE WRONGFUL ACTS OF
A PUBLIC OFFICER.
The opinion of the Supreme Court
in case of State Auditor Gary, re
spondent, vs. N. G. Parker and others,
was filed on the ninth instant. In
this case the petition prayed for an in
junction to restrain the State and
county treasurers from issuing and
putting in circulation the so-call
ed Blue ridge revenue bond scrip to
enjoin them from receiving the same
fur past due taxes, and for taxes to be
hereafter collected. The case, of
course, involved the point made and
decided in the case of Shiver and
others vs. Comptroller-General Hoge
last, winter as to the prohibitory effect
of the constitution of the Uniited States
on the scrip, and the Supreme Court,
of course adheres to its opinion in that
case by which the scrip was declared
to be in the nature of bills of credit
and the emission, therefore, is declar
.ed unconstitutional. In the opinion of
the Court occurs the following signi
ficant language:
"A public officer having the charge
or the care of the property or money of
the State, as to its proper preservation
and disposition, occupies, in regard to
it, the relation of a trustee. Hie must
hold it along in strict devotion to the
purposes of the agency which his of.
fioe confers. The State as a 'eestui
qui trust' may enforce the trust and
save the subject of it from conversion
to an object not within its scope. A
private citizen and taxpayer has such
an equity as will authorize him, in be
half of himnself and all others who will
be prejudiced by the proposed wrong
ful act of the offeer, in respect either
to the mnoaey or the property, to re
sort to judicial proceedings for preven
tion."
The motion to dissolve the inj unc
tion was dismissed.
More About the Modoes.
A telegraph from Camp Boyle, Tule
Lake, June 13, says: "This morning,
Boston Charley, Schonchin, Muse
William, Princess Mary and Lizzie
were escorted to the offie tent under
a corporal's guard, so that judge
Steele might talk with thenm and gain
such information as migrht throw
light upon certain acts which are now
enshrouded in mystery. Jack, Schon
chin, Boston Mose were in chains.
The others were loose. The captives
for:ned the usual semi-circle in the
tent. Jack had a ugly, sullen look,
appiarently displeased at being brought
for talk. Only a few days since he
told the offeer in charge of the prison
ers that his Indian heart was dead and
his body cold. All that he wished
was that Lizzie, his favorite squaw,
might be allowed to sit beside him.
T1'he request was granted, and the
squaw came to him. During the in
terview lhe and Schoinchin sat oL a dry
goods box, and Lizzie squatted at their
feet. Judge Steele shook hands with
the Indians, and said lie was glad to
meet them. Jack was the only one
who removed his hat. Scar-faced
Chatrley was called to the front to act
:s interpreter. Judge Steele said he
regzretted tosee that the Indians had
fbi followLd his advice and behaved
thlemiselves. Then followed questions
about the disposit ion of the property
of the Maodoes' victiins; but little
satisfaction was obtained. A fter an
hour's talk, Judge Steele told them
that unless they grave up the watch
and ring, he would abandon them to
their fate. andl not try to get the ear
of the Tybee Davis. The Indians have
until to-morrow to consider the mat

The Grand Trunk R. R.
The Memphis and Atlantic railroad
is already coplcted forty miles from
Opelika, and the entire line to
Childer.burg on the Selma, Rome and
Dalton road is under contract. It is
expected that Corinth will be reached
in at least two years, wlhen the grand
'trunk line, which is to connect St.
Louis with Port Royal on the South
Atlantic, will be completed. The
I f.lltwing statement of comparative
I distances will convey a suggestive
idea of the probable diversion of much
of the Western trade to a new and
Southern shipping point:
St. Louis to New York 1201 miles;
to Port Royal 916 miles. Louisville
to New York 968 miks; to Port
Royal 758 miles. Memphis to New
York 1345 miles; to Port Royal 726
miles. Cincinnati to New York 861
miles; to Port Royal 860 miles.
The above is from the St. Louis
Weekly Times, June 19th We don't
know if it is determined by what route
the grand trunk shall run, but if it be
not a fixed fact, a glance at the map
shows that an almost air line from St.
Louis, by way of Louisville, Ky.,
Asheville, N. C., and Greenville, S.
C., to Charleston or Port Royal, can
be had, and at a saving in distance
over the shortest line proposed above
of one hundred and sixty-four miles.
This may well be taken into considera
tion.

Advance sheets of this above highly
interesting work are on our table, and
we look forward with no little pleasure
for the receipt of the entire book,
which the National Publishing Co., of
Philadelphia. promises will soon be
issued. It will be issued by sub.
scription only. The chapters thus
brought to our attention are written
in a racy style, and abound in descrip
tions of the great unknown West, as
well as i2 anecdotes and personal ad
ventures. We feel no hesitation in
commending this book in advatnce of
its publication, judging fronm the
specimen sheets already seen. The
following extract from Chapter XV.
gives an idea of the style and subject
matter:
"All aboard for Yosemite and the
Big Trees ! H-ow the mnimd s.wells as
these words are called through the
hotel, and the fancy paints whatt is to
come: visions of giant vegetation and
wondrous woods ; of riotous nature in
a tropical clime and fertile soil, ex
eeding all the wonders of romance
with growing reality; of rocky canons
and happy valleys; of glacier-hewn
liffs, reared thousands of feet in the
air ; of waterfalls and mirror lakes ; of
immense flumes, cut by living streas'~
ini the solid granite; of majestic falls.
and crystal cascades foaming from a
hundred hills.
But between us and these wonder-s
intervene mnany muiles of wearisome
travel, days of toil and nights of
broken rest. Before ty visit I
wondered that so many excursion ists
visited California, and ne':er went tor
Yosemite or the Big Trees. I wonder
no longer ; for the trip is one which may
well maake the most hardy hesitate,
though truly assured that in the end
he shall see wonders that have no equal
upon this planet. Two hundred and
fifty miles of staging upon the rocky
Sierras, beneath an August sun, and
half the time envelopod in red dust,
are enough to make one seriously ask,
Does it pay to visit Yosemite ?
We leave chilly "Frisco'' at 4 P'. M.,
and spend the night at Stockton, ex
periencing in that short distance
about as great a change of climate as
if we should go in April from Chicago
to New Orleans."

The Towi of Prosperity.

rapidly increasing town, we took old
Time by the forelock on Wednesday
afternoon last, and ran down-on the
rail. It was a pleasant idea. a pleas
aut ride, and in pleasant company,
the over-tasked writer with his at
tractive gray,
VENTILATT.D STOVE-1'IIE
in other words the latest agony in
hats, in contra-distinction to a love of
a bonnet, Made the trip in pleasantest
style. It was a perfect triumph, and
the sensation produced by that hat
was delicious. On the train we were
the observed of all observers-the hat
and ourseIf-and at Frog Level, (par
don us ve dwellers in that favored
spot,) at Prosperity, the whisper ran
from mouth to mouth -here comes a
Baltimore drummer, and one of the
best looking seen this sunier-it
was gay." How different from the
sensation produced as the hat and its
owner moved through the streets of
Newberry, on the way to take the
train-for here it was
"COME OUT OF THAT HAT,"
"the HERALD'S gone up," "is that
hat paid for?" "What a guy!" and
nanerous other like expressions.
How infelicitous. But we are writing
about the Level, or rather Prosperity
Lang it, it's almost impossible to get
the name right. We don't know the
exact history, but this much we do,
years ago the trial was made to name
the place Enterprise, but
TIE OLD LEVELERS
stuck to the original Frog Level; the
rail road company then christened it
Prosperity, but it was Frog Level for
all that; then the Legislature, the
most gifted body in the State, was
appealed to, and the several names of
Enterprise and Prosperity were put
into bills and fought over there, while
the war raged at home. It finally
CAME OUT PROSPERITY,
and so it is now by enactment, but
some of the old lovers, who will not
believe that a rose by any other
name would smell as sweet, still call it
by the first, and the old familiar
appellation. The railroad hands yell
out Frog Level, and the Post;ffice is
also yet unchanged in name, as the
Post Master-Mr. David Kibler-is
unhanged in heart, and so no doubt
it will continue for time to come. It
is related that letters are received
there superscribed "Frog Level, En
terprise, Prosperity, or whatever else
it may be called." Mr. Kibler, just
named, is entitled to consideration,
and must be pardoned if he clings to
old things-for partly through his cf
forts was the G & C. Railroad run by
there, and also was lhe largely in
strumental in aiding the erection of
Newville Church, the only edifice of
worship in the incorporation, ai.d
at that time lie wa.s the only male
member of the Lutheran denomina
tion; besides him though there were
three lady members-most valuable
co-laborers. The
LADIES ARE ALWAYs FOREMOsT
in all good words and works, and out
number the wales besides when the
roll is called and somiething to be

Four or five years ago it scarce num
bered a fourth of the present po.pula

over which the Rev. II. S. Wingard
exercises an acceptable spiritual con
trol. Then there is an excellent male
school, large in number, under the
direction of Mr. J. B. Lathan. a gn

education, character and deportment
for so important a trust. Its

Happy Frog Level, or rather happ.y
and level Prosperity. We had nearly
forgotten to add to the list the Card
ing Factory of Messrs. Wheeler &
Mosy, who are prepared to give every
satisfaction to farmers and others in
the carding of wool. The energetic
Intendant, Mr. Whites-had just
given consent to put one of Tozer's
celebrate F.o Pumps in the public
well, an Mtr. Frenk .nn. agent for
the4 Ciumh-r nanl ether highly
rceominended pumps, happening there
just in the nick of time gained per
mission to siuk one of his own also.
It will be nip and tuck between the
two-and there is no doubt but there
will be considerable pumping done.
Mr. Mo1on says he went there simply
because a lodge of Good Templars was
in process of organization. and his
bowels of compassion moved to give
the boys of Prosperity the
COOLEST WATER
in the well, from the north .ide, and I
right from the bottom. lie is a good
fellow, is Frank. and we trust that he
will sell a number of his excellent
pumps right there. Speaking of his
commendable desire reminds us that
to t%.ke part in the organization of that
LODGE OF TEMPLARS
was one of the reasons-and the only
one we will mention now, unless some
one makes the accusation that thi
other was to show the hanSme grey
hat-which took us to Fr-Prosperity.
This Lodge-Prosperity Lodge Good
Tenplars, No. 34-was organized on
Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock. in
the Masonic Hall, by the Rev. Henry
Mood, assisted by Messrs. Warren
Feagle, Iomer P. Tarrant, and your
humble writer, members of Kosciusko
Lodge, No. 32. The number initiated
was nineteen, three of whom were
ladies-bless them again-where is it
they will not go, and what is it, no
matter how great the sacrifice, they
will not take earnest part in?
TUE OFFICERS ELECTED
on that hap'y and auspicious occasion
are:
Rev. H. S. Wingard, W. C. T.; H.
S. Boozer, P. W. C. T.; Miss Mattie

W. Birge, R. 11. S.; W. Bridges,
L. H. S.; P. E. Wise, I. G.; J. B.

heat of the weather, and the closeness
of the hall, upon which the sun shone
with an intensity of fervor, and which
brought out the perspiration in great
bead drops. and then comminlyling
ran down the devoted bodies of the
good Tenmplars in rivulets, it was all
pleasantly got through with, and No.
34 was declared duly oranized and
ready for the confliet.
At night, in Newville Church, by
invitation, the Rev. Henry MIood
delivered a Temperance Address, in
his usual felicitous style, and which
was well received.
It will hardly do to close this ac
count of our visit to Prosperity with
out mentioningr that the inhabitants
of that thriving town are given to
MUCH HOSPITALITY,
take in all visitors, and treat them to
the best. Our wants were supplied
by Maj. P. E. Wise and lady, and
when all was done that could be, we
were invited to come again, and were
even offered a settin' of duck eggs
strange that the people of this section
of country all know that we go in for
raising~ ducks. But we stop, for too
much even of a good thing becomes
wearisome, so we simply add that
without accident to writer or hat, the
up-train next morning dumped us out
at the Newbcrry Depot, well satisfied
with the short experience.
Worth Remembering.

thing of note has tra:pircl until this

envine with Mr. Iw.. Brt)wn's thresli
el, at Mirs. Sarah Feller.', L which
three perso.ns were killed and eight
wounded. The cause of the explosion
is unknown. Mr. Brown thinks there
was sonce defect in the boiler, as he
had but about sixty-five pounds of
steani. The engine was Toit in action,
and had been standing about ten iuin
utes. All hands were at work repair
ing sonie part of the thresher which
had broken. The killed were 31r.
Jesse Sehu!niert, and two negroes,
respectively named. Pink Reeder and
Alfred Gary. The wounded were.
white, Messrs. Drayton Brown and J.
B. Whitman; colored, Brown Dalrym
pie, lill IIipp. Anderson Singley, Ad
dison Porter, Siieion Gallman and
Shed Gibbs.
The power of the explosion was tre
niendous. The whole engine and
thresher were driven about twentyfeet
thr.ough a wall of a log house and
piled up on the oats in the house four
or five feet from the ground. Smaller
portions were thrown in every diree
tion. some to the distance of seventy
five yards.
The people turned out promptly to
aid the suffering, and Drs. 31eFall and
Garmany were on the ground as soon
:is p6ssible to take care of the wound
ed, most of whoi fortunately wcre
slightly hurt.
The accident has east a gloom over
our neighborhood, for Mr. Schumpert
was loved by all who kuew hii. Our
sympathies are with the bereaved
family. Iow forcibly we are remind
