Five persons were mysteriously burned to death, viz: Henesley, his wife, his m i h.;.. a young woman of twenty years and a hoy. No satisfactory expla nation of the burning has yet been made Conclusions are settling flown between two theories. One is that there were a crowd of men and a good deal of whiskey there: that a drunken brawl arose and Somebody was hurt or killed, and that the desperate conclusion was reached to ?mt th?- entire frmily out of the way and apply tire. The other is a mere whisper and hints at a preconcerted raid to clear out what may have been considered a den of vice and a source of neighborhood discord: Spartanburg Spartan: "Thc Wage Karners" Convention will meet in Colum bia Wednesday afternoon. It is said that invitations have been sent out to every county of the Statcand that there will be a large meeting. The object of this meeting is to organize the State tho roughly and have all classes of wage earners represented. It seems that these class political leagues and alliances are not the best for the State. They tend to develop a partisan spirit and a general distrust of all classes not belonjring to the league. Politically speaking, the Democratic party is about enough for us and we have a poor opinion of the lasting benefit of all these class political organizations. We do not deny their right to organize, but the danger is that they will soon set class and industrial platform above the Democratic party." Union Meeting of the Beaverdam Asso ciation.

At a meeting of the young men, held at Reid's Hall Tuesday night, April 18, " The Walhalla Park Construction Com pany " -was organized with twenty mem bers. The object is to build and main tain a City Park on College Hill. The following officers were elected: C. S. Reid, President; B. R. Moss, Vice President; James Thompson, Treasurer; George Seaborn, Secretary. A committee ?f six, consisting of C. S. Reid, E. L. Herndon, J. R. Kay, J. A. Steck, E. R. Kay and James Thompson, TO elected to superintend the building of the park. A financial committee of three mem bers, consisting of E. R. Kay, George Seaborn and F. A. H. Schroder, was elected to solicit financial aid from the citizens of the town. C. S. Reid, E. L. Herndon and James Thompson were appointed on a commit tee to confer with the Town Council and invite their co-operation and assistance. The members of thc company are young men with pluck and energy. They will leave no stone unturned to give the citi zens something to be highly appreciated, besides fm nishing a nice place for visit ors and others to spend the long summer days. The composition of the committees and officers of the company constitute a guarantee that the work done will be first-class. These young men have been tried before and never found wanting. If they can receive the hearty support and co-operation of the citizens of the town, they will soon transform the brow of College Hill into a beautiful and en ticing pleasure ground. ''Catharine Park " is to be its name, in honor of the memory of one of Walhalla's sainted women, who, living, ever had the best interest of the town at heart. Help from all is earnestly solicited. It is understood that the ladies, too, will lend their intlucuce to further the enter prise. A nucleus of i^'C has been donated to the fund by the Walhalla Comedy Company. This is a good beginning. Donations from thc citizens will doubt less swell the sum? to some $200, and j Catharine Park may bc written down as ? one of the attractions of Walhalla. The Teachers' Column. In this issue Prof. J. W. Caines, of the ': Westminster High .School, has assumed , editorial management of a column on our j first page, known as thc ''Teachers' Col- ! umn." Prof. Gaines is a wide-awake teacher, and, in his endeavor to make j this column what it ought to be. he in-; vites thc earnest support and co-opera-; tion of all the teachers in Oconee county. Teaching is no longer a mere pastime for drones and laggards, but a high, ex- j acting and honorable profession. The condition precedent to all successful teaching is thorough preparation. The j purpose of Prof. ("aines and those who j assist him in the conduct of this column is to stimulate a desire for still more j thorough preparation, and then to render : mutual help by a free discussion of the means for achieving the best results. This:column should be one of great; interest and attraction to every teacher in the county, and then as a recompense for the good received, let each and every one feel free to furnish Prof. Gaines an article on the experiences of the school : room during the year now drawing to a. close. Retid and write to the end that you may the better teach. T*? Memoriam. Mrs. Cynthia, the beloved wife of j Mr. John Lindly. departed this life at j her home, in West Union, on the morn- j ing of the 17th instant, in the ."?3d year of I her age. She was a native of Laurens county, and about four months ago moved '? into this country. In early life she united herself with the Kainui Creek Baptist ; church, in Laurens county, of which church she remained a consistent mem ber. For thirty-live years she followed Christ, and those who knew her best say that her lift was a luminous commentary upon the profession which she made. She suffered a great deal before her death. A part of the time she could not lie down, and what little sleep she enjoyed was obtained while she was propped up in bcd. Nh<: did not complain or mur mur, but bore it all patiently. Thc day before sin- died she called her children lo ln-r lu-d side and spoke lovingly and tenderly to them, telling them she was happy and resigned. She was sustained and comforted by her Saviour in this moment of great need and passed away singing the triumphs of redeeming grace. We laid her to rest on Tuesday (after preaching her funeral sermon) in the quiet grave yard connected with the Bethel Presbyterian church, to await the | resurrection morn. Our sister was twice I married, her latter husband surviving. Many relatives and friends mourn her loss. Death to her was gain. She is absent from the body only to be present with the Lord. God bless and comfort j the bereaved. li. W. SEYMOUR. Laurensville Ihr nhl please copy. A Horse Thief from Georgia. TOWNVII.I.K. April lt?.-Frank Tims, a Georgia horse thief, was captured herc on Friday morning. He came here on Thursday morning riding a good mule, which he sold for twenty-live dollars. He had stolen the mule from Mr. James Prather. on the head waters of the Savan nah, in Habersham county. Ga. Mr. Prather was in close pursuit all the way and caught the thief as he started. Our people have been agitated for some time on the subject of holiness, and so intense is the feeling that schisms ii) the several churches are likely to result. The Rev. T. C. Ligen, pastor of the Presbyterian church, is attending the spring meeting of the South Carolina Presbytery at Honca Path. Prof. Kice, assisted by Miss Olivo Brown, who was educated at Greenville and Vassar College, New York, is just closing a very prosperous session of the Townville High School. Many rise in the morning with a head ache and no inclination for breakfast. This is due to torpidity of the liver and a deranged condition of the stomach. To ! restore healthy action to these organs, noshing is so efficacious as an occasional dose of Ayer's Pills. There have been three decisions by United States Courts lately that are dis couraging to labor strikes, one at New Orleans and the other two at Toledo, Ohio. They are to the effect that re straint of trade by force is in violation of the laws of the United States, and that railroad employees as public carriers cannot boycott a road that is at outs with a brotherhood of its operatives. The sentiment is increasing about ex Congressman Hemphill securing a for eign mission. Some of the knowing ones go so far as to name Russia, and be lieve he will fall heir to this juicy morsel. Mr. Hemphill was seen Tuesday after noon, but was non-communicative. "I bave heard that my name is being dis cussed in connection with a foreign mis sion, but which one in particular I have no idea. I have made no application, and will not. If Mr. Cleveland sees fit to appoint me, well and good." . CO>>"EEOSS. [For the Keowee Courier.] "' The question has frequently occurred to me, Shall we let all the beautiful legends which the Indians left us utterly perish? XO portion of the State is richer, perhaps, in Indian legends and traditions than Pickens and Oconee counties. Why may not many of them be rescued from oblivion before it is too late? There is an interesting legend con nected with the Conneross creek. The name Conneross is an English corruption of the Cherokee word Kaxcanarasu, which signifies "At the duck track." The name refers to a local legend relative to a fabu lous duck. Do any of the old citizens of Oconee remember ever to have heard the legend? If so, why not write it up for the COURIER? I sincerely wish it was in my power to produce it, Oconee was not "named after the Oco nies" (erroneously translated "Brown Vipers"), ''a minor tribe of the Chero kees, who formerly lived in the territory embraced by the county," as some his torians have stated, but the word Oconee signifies "At the head of the water courses." It is from the Cherokee loca tive ending ., generally written ce in the translation of Cherokee words into the English tongue, and ooka, water. I have succeeded in obtaining the mean ing of nearly all of the Indian names in our State.? Oconee abounds in beautiful Cherokee place names, and I am satis fied, from the meaning of many of them, that the legends connected with place names in Oconee county alone would make an interesting volume if they could be rescued from the devouring jaws of the past. To save them, if possible, from utter oblivion is a duty that the present I generation owes to those who shall come after us. If you, gentle reader, know a legend, write it for your county paper or tell it to some one who will. I beg pardon. Mr. Editor, for trespass ing on your valuable space--I mean the columns of your paper. I have many : pleasant recollections of the years spent in Walhalla, of the beautiful blue moun tain?, salubrious atmosphere, "students' frolics," and most of all, of the kind citizens. Fourteen years have passed ; away since the old college bell called me to recitation in the old building which lies in ashes, but it seems but as yester day when I walked your streets. May your paper and the town be crowned with prosperity. J. W. DAM EL. Chester, S. C., April 14, 1S93. Westminster Dots. WESTMINSTER, S. C., April IS, 1893. DEAR COURIER: The Westminster Lodge Knights of Honor, No. 3,345, is represented at the annual meeting of the Grand Lodge at Orangeburg this week by Mr. W. P. Anderson. He went down' on Monday. At the regular meeting of the West minster Lodge I. O. G. T., No. 117, on Monday night last, the following new officers were elected to serve for the ensuing quarter, beginning April :Wth: Col. R. E.

About half the members have not beeu present since the lodge was organized. Th? meetings are held ser .'-monthly, on Monday night after the first and third Sundays. A new location has been surveyed on : the public road leading from here to Jarrett's bridge, on Tugaloo river. The bridge over Chauga, at Capt. R. A. Gil mer's, is unsafe and a new one is to be built The County Commissioners found they could save several hundred dollars by building it about one-half mile above where it now is, and put the road on bet ter ground and make thc distance much shorter. The new route will leave the present route a short distance West of Hopewell Methodist church and will intersect again about one-half mile West of Gilmer's mill. Thc Commissioners say the bridge on that route will not cost over ?100. Rev. W. W. Leathers preached two able sermons in the Baptist church last Sun day morningand night. He also preached at Mt. Tabor, several miles below here, in the afternoon. Rev. Leathers certainly does a large amount of ministerial work. Mr. S. T. Marett has opened up a stock of goods in Col. Mason's brick store-room in rear of the bank. Mr. Marett will con tinue to travel on the road and the store will be managed by his brother. Mr. G. W.

Miss Florence Norris, who has been teaching school in Anderson county the past six months,, has returned home, to the delight of her many friends. Dr. J. W. Quillian had the misfortune to lose his valuable milch cow this week. E. Ayer s Pills Are better known and more general ly used than any other cathartic. Sugar-coated, purely vegetable, and free from mercury or any other inju rious drug, this is the ideal family medicine. Though prompt and ener getic in their action, the use of these pills is attended with only the best results. Their effect is to strengthen and regulate the organic functions, being especially beneficial in the various derangements of the stom ach, li.er, and bowels. Ayer's Pills are recommended by all the leading physicians and druggists, as the most prompt and effective remedy for biliousness, nausea, costiveness, indigestion, sluggishness of the liver, jaundice, drowsiness, pain in the side, and sick headache; also, to relieve colds, fevers, neuralgia, and rheumatism. They are taken with great benefit in chills and the diseases peculiar to the South. For travelers, whether by land or sea, Ayer's Pills are the best, and should never be omitted in the outfit. To preserve their medicinal integrity in all cli mates, they are put up in bottles as well as boxes. "I have used Ayer's Pills in my family for several years, and always found them to be a mild and excel lent purgative, having a good effect on the liver. It is the best pill used." -Frank Spillman, Sulphur, Ky. * Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mas?. Sold by DroggisU Everywhere. Every Dose Effective ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST.
