The Fire Engn,
The town council has indefinitely
postponed the matter of fire engine and

without considering the matter, and
changed their minds after learning the
cost. With this fact before them the
council did not feel like taking upon
thenMsel;e; the responsibility of putting
the burden on Lhe tapayers of the town.

The Dream of Life.
"It is written in a fine female hand.
t's a poem, and asks; "What n;s the
Iream of your life?" Jt was signed
"Elfrida." We haven't room for the
poem, but just to quiet Elfrida we will
aswer her conundrum. The dream of
ur life has been to be rich enough to
put on a clean shirt every day, and to
have two suits of clothes, with a pair of
sspenders to each pair of pants. But
it has never been realized, Elfrida. Cas
tles in the air."

(eitt vs. Jones.
On the 1st (lay of September, 1877,
Pom Keitt, colored, formerly a slave of
Jol. Ellison S. Keitt, was arrestedl for
igamy. On the 6th of the same month
he following article appeared in the
ew York Times: "A p)rivate letter
eceived from South Carolina states that
ol. Keitt, of Newberry, was arrested
~t that place on Saturday last on the
barge of bigamy, and, ip (ifa of
>a'l, was hei to await the action of
he Grand Jury. This apose has ca
ed a sensation in South Carolina, as
he aceused is a near relative of the
ate Lawregee M. h.eitt, whp ggured so
>romineptly in Congress priwr to the
-ebellion, and is connected with somie
f the best families of the State."
Col. Keitt wrote privately to the
Vimes stating the facts of the ease; but
nsteadl of apologizing it replied wvith
mother article more outrageons than
he first. This satisfied Col. Keitt that
lhe first article had not been the result
f any mistake, but a deliberate at
empt to vilify and smirch lis name;
Lnd he immediatgy 'bepai gn action
or~ libel in the U. S. Court for the Dis
riot of Newy York against George
ones, the proprietor of the Thas, fixing
uis damages at $50,000. The sec.ond
Lrticle is really too indecent to repro
luco here. Col. Kcitt's lawvyers are
imith & Leavitt, and George Jones'
sverett, Southmnade & Choate.
Testimony in thc case was takepi in
own lamst week, S2uber & Caldwell rep
-sn ing th laihtiff, dhri W. L . Wauit,
sq., of Greenville, the defense. Thlir-~
een wvitnesses wgrp eg~auined for the
lefense, with the view of proving that
L'om Keitt has held p)rominent positions
n the State since the war, and that he
s generally reputed to be related (ille
~itimately, of course) to the late Law
-ence M. Keitt. It was easy enough to
>rove that T1om had been a member of
he Legislature, but in attempting to
>rove the latter the Times failed most
ignally. Nor gould any testimony be
>btained that Tom was ever kpowi as
'Col. ljejtt." If all these things had
