SKKKOA, Snptombor 22.-Not long ?go tho rendors of Tho State bad avory inter esting account of tho Walhalla Sonii ( 'cuicnnial, tis reported by Mr. Batiks. Ho made reference, to tho original pur chase of tho land for tho colouy from Col. Joseph (tresham. Recently I ?topped nt the place on tho old stago road that passes across this county, just above Seneca und Westminster, whoro Col. Qrosbam lived boforo ho settled in tho Walhalla section. Von must know that Jos. E. Brown, Qoorgia'8 groat war Gov ernor, married the dnughtor of Col. Gresham. 1 was shown tho log store houso, still standing, whoro Col. Gres ham sold goods and whoro his daughter, tho future Mrs. Brown, was a clork (or should I say Baloslady?) Tho building is in very good repair, being built of largo hewn logs, and shows good workman ship. Tho place is now occupied by Capt. S. M. Pool, recently olectod County Supervisor. I scorned to havo gotton into a historic country, for a couplo of milos wost of that place I passed tho farm and homo of Mr. W. N. Cox, in tho horsoshoo bond of Changa Ri vor, and which was tho home of tho celebrated Horsoshoo Rob inson, tho hero of John Pendleton Ken nedy's very interesting historical novol. And still a little further on wost, after crossing tlie Changa, wo spout the night at tho samo houso whoro Kennedy mot Robinson and got tho facts for his book. At that timo it was tho homo of Col. Obediah Tri in mi u-, to whom tho late Col. John 'P. Sloan, of Colombia, was a near relative. Col. Trinnnior is buried on the place. Ho was a celebrated man in many respects-a great lover of sport. Ho had a large family, costly girls, and never found tho business of his farm too pressing to tal<o his family 28 miloB to Pendleton to attend a ball. On ono occa sion tho roof of his house caught fire and one of the young ladies climbed upon thu house and extinguished tho blaze af great risk to hor lifo. In 18l">, tho cele brated dry year, Mr. Clayborn Pool, of Greenville, in traveling through this sec tion, was impressed with the line bottom lands on Toxaway Creek, and purchased the farm and moved to it. Tho lands aro Still thc property of his children, lt is only a few miles from Ibero to tho littlo town of Fort Madison, on tho Southern Railway, and OVO!looking tho beautiful Tugnloo valley. Boro on a hill in tho centre of tho town is a granito column, erected as a monument to tho memory of Col. Ben Cleveland, one of the heroes of King's Mountain, who is buried in tho neighborhood. The site of the fort that gives namo to the town is oil thc opposite sido of tim railroad from the inonumont, but there is scarcely a vestige of it left. This section is full of historic incidents of great interest and value, if only they could be gathered together for preserva tion. ROVKH. Cured ol Chronic Diarrhoa Alter Thirty Years of Suffering.

Tarvor, one of the most prominent citizens of Albany, went to the homo of a negro named Mose Ingrain shortly be fore daylight this morning, called him out ami shot him with a double-barrel shotgun, killing him almost instantly. The cause of Mr. Tarver's act was an attempted criminal assault by the negro upon Mr. Tarver's thirteen-year-old daughter. Mose was a negro about .Jfi years old, and had boon a servant in tho Tarvor family for a number of years. Ho was trusted almost implicitly by his employ e-is, and such conduct would never have been (-.-.peeled from him. Several days ago he attempted tho as sault oil Tarver's daughter, and threat ened to poison her if sho told. Fils threats made the child koop tho matter secret until yesterday morning, when she told her mother. Mr. Tarvor was out at his plantation in the western partof Dougherty county, and did not return to bis home until lat? last night. Ile was informed of flu negro's conduct, and he went to Moso'i house and killed him, as above slated. Mr. Tarvor has not been arrested, and it is understood that Mose's wife has re fused to swear ont a wa rr ont against bim. Tillman in Milwaukee. Ni l KW A li KKK, Wis., September 20.

(.scape from tho South Carolina Penitentiary. COLUMUI?, ?V. C., Soptombor 23.-D. C. Murphy, tho white- mnn convicted of tho assassination of Treasurer Copos, of Orangcburg county, and W. II. Collins, a whit J burglar, uotod throughout tho county, both serving lifo sentences, have oscapod from thc Stato pouitontiary in an ingenious and daring manner. There was no inkling of their escapo till an in spection in tho morning revealed their cago of stool empty. It is supposed they had six hours' start. The penitentiary yard in which tho buildings aro situated ls surrounded by a brick vail ranging in height from fif teen to twonty-llvo foot. On this wall thero aro sentry boxes at intervals and guards aro constantly on tho lookout. Tho convicts woro about tinco wooks ago transferred from tho now to tho old main building, tho former being now iu courso of construction. All tho colls of this building opon on stool piazzas, run ning around tho entire building. Tho colls aro morely holes in tho thick gran ito walls, tho occupants hoing kopt so curo by massivo iron barred doors opon ing on tho piazza. Tho doors aro hung on heavy iron drop hinges, aro locked with individual locks from tho outsido, and besides have on tho top a "v" shaped picco of iron fastened so as to project outward and fall undor a steel slide that of itself locks overy cell when dropped. Murphy and Collins in some way, either from tho carpenter shop or tho mill, optainod a hack saw. With this poworful little instrument they com pletely severed tho massivo iron pin of tho top bingo of tho door at its base. I i Thoy evidently prized tho door up | 1 enough lo give tho hack saw entrance. This dono they could pull the door in- t ward sufliciently to twist it around and t ranko an aperture largo enough to crawl 1 through. That they were perfectly confident of 1 jotting away may bo seen from the lil- \ scription loft on tho walls of the cell, ? written on the whitewash in largo letters t with a piece of charcoal. On tho right uf tho door was this: "Cod will doll vor; t poaco and good will to all men." ( On tho opposite facing was this: "Out rt for .South America-W. II. Collins, D.C. Murphy. Ooodby, for wc aro gone." On tho wall inside the cell was this: "lu Cod we trust; Oed bo with you till we meet again." $500 Reward.

That is a pathetic story told by our donison correspondent last week about 3001*08 of boys being at Clemson beg ging for admission and being turned away dniply because there was no room for thom. Fathers and mothers were there liegging for the admission of their sons md the pitiful part of it is that they bad Lo be dollied simply for the lack of room. And it is said that such is tho demand for admission to tho college that it is necessary to tile an application a year ir more in advance to scouro entrance to thc college, lt is indeed pitiful to soo my young man seeking an education of the kind that ( leinson odors being t urned UV ay now at this stage in the progress )f the industrial life of the State when die is calling for every son of hers who ian swell tho ranks of her industrial workers, lt is a condition of things that :alls for the serious consideration of thinking people all over tho Stale and of mr law-makers in particular. Something diotlld be done to enlarge Clemson so that 110 young man need be turned away from her doors, lt is the foremost edu cational institution in Ibo Stale and is iperating in a sphere peculiarly tts own iud its career has demonstrated the wis loiil and foresight of its founders, and is doing for the young men of the State, what its early promoters claimed it would do and even more.

That t will cost money goes without saying, Ult in view of the record the college has mule already and the increasing demand ipoil lt could a few thousand dollars be jotter invested than in enlarging ami iquippillg the college with more bulld ogs, moro equipment and moro teachers?

BOONE'S BLACK DIAMOND. Its Woes Continue to be Many and Great. Tho woos of Col. A. K. Boono's Black Diamond Railroad continuo to bo mauy. j [ t was not so very long ago that tho pub ic was told that the proposud system md boon financed and that it would be ready for work at no very distant dato. )f emu BO tho public took this informa tion with BOvoral grains of salt, but tho uoniotors of tho enterprise would have t that there was no possible way in ivhioh their wishes could bo frustrated, riicy talked loudly and confidentially, ind there were not a fow people who cally bogan to hopo that the scheme md something in it and was destined to mccood. But all of these bright dreams lave como to nothing, and just now tho ?Mack Diamond seems to bo no nearer complot ion than it was so ve ral years ago. rifo blamo for this sad condition of il?airs, so tho Boono pooplo say, is at tho loor of ono T. 0. Dickinson, some timo inancial agent of tho projoot. A. year or io ago Black Diamond literature do ilarod that this same Dickinson was ono >f tho abl?st and host of money chang ?rs. Ho was said to bo a person ago who nul tho conndouco of tho bondholders >f two continents; and tho Boonoonthu ilasts did not soo how it would bo possi >le for their paragon of finance to fail to ntorcst tho capital of tho world in tho jroat doublo track route that was so ihortly to connoet tho Mississippi Valley vith tho South Atlantic seaboard, lt vas Dickinson who brought a titlod por ion from England to spy out tho land for ho pooplo of London who had coin vhich thoy wished to burn. Sir Thomas Tancred was tho namo and having jour ?oyed and jaunted from ono omi of thc Hack Diamond to tho other, Sir Thomas aid great was tho scheme and tho makers hereof. Ho and Dickinson wont back o England and tho friends on this sido mid their breath wdiilo thoy waited for a lablogram announcing that tho bonds ind boon sold and that tho whole thing vas "a go," Aftor awdiilo they consents id to take a breath or so, but thoy con iuuod lo boliovo that thoy might wake ip any morning to lind tho Black Dia nond backed by tho Bank of England. )f courso tho oxpootod novor happens, aid so it onmo to pass that tho confiding li rec tors of tho great Boono system aio vatting yot. In duo courso of limo some of them locarno impatient and tried to hurry up ho financial millenium that was coming 0 them. But the job proved to be a liflicult ono, and when this was observed 0 bo tho case tho faithful roso up and aid that Dickinson was cursed. Diokiu on said Boono was tho man thoy woro hinking about, and so tho matter goes it the prosont time. Tho Boone pooplo leolaro that Dickinson has thrown down 1 great enterprise for thirty or so piooos >f silver, and tho Dickinson faction say hat Boone never was anything but a duller anyway. Tho language thoy aro ising is much stronger than that oni doyed hero, but it is no uso in repeating vliat friends who havo fallen out say ibont each othor in anger. Tho only bing tho public is interested in is the act that there seems to bo no immediate nospoct of th.e great Boone scheme tom i ng to anything. That indefatigable ?orson declares, however, that it is only i question of time heforo bo will have ,ho enterprise on its foot again.
