Rush, a well-known merchant of Greenville and an ex-nldorman, this morning, near the Air Lino dopot, shot and killed J. T. s topi ions, freight conductor on tho 8outhern. There wore four shots fired by Rush, ono penetrating tho brain, another entering tho nock, whilo two wore landod in a wall nearby. Rush was arrested shortly afterward by Policeman Tucker and is now in jail. Application for bond will bo made on Monday. Tho shooting is said to have been tho result of intimate relations that existed between Stophou8 and Mrs. Rush. It is said that, owing to the culmination of domestic rolatiouB, Mr. Rush loft homo two moni hs ago und went to California. In the mean ti mo Mrs. Rush left Greenville and it is reported that she is now living with an uuelo iu Texas. Stephens re mained in Greenville, continuing his work as conductor. Mr. Rush returned to Greenville throe weeks ago and as sumed charge of his grocory store in North Main street. Whilo returning from tho .Southern Railway warehouse this morning Stephens accosted Rush and said he wished to speak with him.

He was followed by Stephens, who caught Rush's ooat 1 appel, pulling him around. Stephens then at tempted to pull his pistol, but Rush got the drop on him and fired. Stephens is 33 years old and unmarried. It is said that letters were found on Stephen's per son from Mrs. Rush, in one of which ho was urged to sottlo tho matter with Rush. In time. Bold by druggist*. A Horrible Tale of the Sea. London, November 17. - Tho Daily Mail's correspondent at Wellington, N. /,., telegraphs that tho eight survivors from tho wreck of the British steamer Elingamite, who wero rescued on a raft by the British survey steamer Penguin, went through a droadful experience. The raft from which they wore taken measured only twelve foot long by neveu feet wide, ana had sixteon persons on it when it left |tho wreok. Tho only food on board was two apples. The first apple was consumed on Tuesday aftd tho second on Wednesday,each hoing divided into sixteen portions. From Sunday, tho day they were wrecked, until Tnursday, when thoy were rescued, the survivors drifted sixty milos on the half submorgod raft. Sevoral attempts woro made to land on Three Kings' island, but without SUCCOBS. Three mon died on Monday night from drinking salt wi.fer. All of tho survi vors suffered the tortures of thirst, and four other men and the stewardess died of exhaustion before they were picked up by tho Penguin. They had a cruel disappointment on Tuesday night. A steamer waa sighted In the distance and frantic shouts were raised by those of the raft to attract attention. The steamer lowered a boat, which passod within fifty yards of thom, but tho boat's crew apparently did not see the raft and re turned to their vessel. Whon tho Pen guin was sighted only ono of tho survi vors was able to stand. Thoy were ter ribly emaciated. Hanged by a Mob. Elisabeth town, Ky., Novomhor 10. Harlan Buckles, who was yesterday sen tenced to lifo imprisonment for tho murder of Robert L. Reid, was hanged by a mob shortly after 2 o'clock this morning. The nfbb included from fifty to seventy-five men, sumo of whom are supposed to have come from Larue county. On account of their number they had littlo difficulty In getting Buckles from the jail. He was taken to tho Court IIouso yard and hanged to a treo, after which the mob dispersed. Reid was a deputy marshal here at the timo ho was killed. 11 ! -mm ?ants, bought at much i out sale of Inman, K about these Pants, nish. * * We name d 75c I'anls for.60c 60c.

The challenge has boen in vain, and Ooonee eounty is the champion pumpkin growing eounty of the world ; but Ooonee county 1B not the only county in South Carolina, and whflo tho returns show that it can grow more pumpkins to the vine than any county in this State, in some of the other counties remarkable results have been obtained in the cultivation of other vegetables, the pumpkin, of coui se, be longing to this family. Wo are informed by the Horse Crook Valley Nows that there ls a tomato vine in the yard of Mrs. Williams, who lives noar Langley, which measures 22 feet in oircumfereuco, 7 foot in diameter, and 8} feet in height. It produced nearly two bushels of tomatoes this year, and tho season has not been as favorable to the growth of the plant as could have been wished. A half dozen vines of this character would yiold fruit enough to feed a large family, and a garden patch devoted to the cultivation of this variety of tomato would run a canning factory. Why in tho world the intelligent, thrifty Yankee farmers of Now England will consent to live from hand to mouth in that exacting region, when there are millions to be made in pumpkins and tomatoes in South Carolina, we do not understand.-Nows and Courier, Novom bor 15th.

Some Stories of the Town's Imp?rtanos and Glory in the Long Ago. [Anderson Mail.] Those of the younger generation, who are familiar with tho quiet little village of Pendleton at the present time, oan soaroely realize its formor importance and prosperity. Far baok in the dim regions of tho past this dull, quaint town was the oenter of refinement, wealth and cul ture. Surrounded by a fine agricul tural section, the farm lands afforded to the wealthy slave-holders ample opportunity for the successful culti vation of various products. Along its rnral streets echoed the footsteps of famous and gallant men, whose names now adorn the pages of his tory, and noble, beautiful womon, whose gentle, refined natures and do mestic qualities rendered them capa ble of dispensing the hospitality for whioh this seotion was famed. Perhaps our readers, who oh ance to give the present town a casual fiance, would be interested to know, or future referenco, that Pendleton was onoe a large distriot, comprising what is now the counties of Ooonee, Pickens and Anderson, covering an area of GO or 70 miles square. It was obtained from the Cherokee Indians in 1777, but the settlement was de ferred until after the Revolutionary war of 1788. The district was named in honor of Judge Henry Pendleton, a nativo of Virginia and ono of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of Soutb Carolina. He was a nephew of Judge Edmund Pendle ton, of Virginia, born in Culpeppor county in 1750, and died in Green ville county in 1787. He volunteered in the first regiment organized in Virginia, and served under Gen. Greene in that State. At thc clono of the wnr he settled in South Caro lina and was elected judge of the law court. Ho originated the County Court Act, which was passed in 1785, was one of the three judges appointed to revise the laws of the State, and was a member of tho Con stitutional Convention of 1788. The first Court House at Pendle ton was built of logs, located in the edge of tho town on a beautiful branch. The only traoo of tu t now visible is a slightly ele\ ?od grassy knoll, near which tho school children are wont to assemble on festivo occa sions. Toward this historic spot tho lawyers wendod their way from all parts of the immense district to at tend Court. It is said that tho original Bible upon which tho oaths were sworn is now preserved in the archives of tho now Court House at Anderson. There are very many points of interest in and around Pendleton oonneotcd with the remoto past. lloro is to bo found, situated upon an eminonco, "Lowther Hall," bought by Lord Lowther, of England, at a cost of $10,000 for a shooting box on account, of tho largo quantity of game in tho county. This building commands a magnificent view of the stately Blue Ridge mountains. Further down tho street we como to tho time-worn oottage of John Miller, well known in connection with the famous Junius Letters. John Miller was a native of London, and was ono of the parties who owned the Evening PoBt. When tho letters of Junius were Eublished by John Wootlfall in the london Daily Advertiser and the at tempt was made to discover the author of the lottors, who was a man of splendid genius, John Miller, the printer of tho letters in the office, fearing he would be implicated, find to America, landed at Charleston and Eushed his way to Pendleton, where e settlod. Ho died in 1800 and was bnried at the Old Stone Chu roh. Ho left behin him many respected citizens. He was the foundor of the Pendleton Weekly Messenger, the first paper published in the State outside of Charleston and Columbia. "1 wrote to Doctor Pierce, who sent me a very kind letter and advised me," Thousands of weak and sick women can trace the beginning of a new life of Esrfect health to that fetter written to r. Pierce. Sick and ailing women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, fret. All correspondence held as strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. Dr. Pierce'*. Favorite Prescription cures weak and aching backs, headaches, nerv ousness and other womanly ailments by curing the womanly diseases which cause them. .?In th? ?pring of i ooo I became very Ul," writes Mr?. Alvfena Benoit?, of Mice Washing ton, Lesueur Co., Minn., "my back WM very weak and ached ao that I conm rio no work nt .ll, so 1 VA* obliged to take to ny bed. I felt a constant desire to urinate and thc pains in abdomen ware.almost unbearable. 1 wrote to Dr. Pierce, who Kent rae a very kind tetter, and advised me to take his 'Favorite Prescription' and ' (?olden Medical Discovery.' 1 took els bottles of each and am a welt woman now. I cannot say enough tn favor of Dr. Pierce's medicine*. ? "Favorite Prescription" makes weak women strong, sick rvomen well. Accept no substitute for the medicine which works wonders for weak women. Dr. Pierce's Messent Pellets are the most desirable laxative for ) delicate women? Col. Frances Kinloch Hc~er was once a resident OL this town, and his life is interesting in connection with the history of his attempt to reson? Gen. Lafayette from the prison of Olmutz, in Austria. The attempt failed, and he was himself imprisoned eight months, and waB only released upon the condition that he would leave the country never to return. Another feature of interest at Pendleton is the old sun dial to be seen in front of tho Farmers' Hall, which was presented to the muni cipality by Gen. F. H. Huger. At a short distance from the hall on another street we oome to the law office of the Hon. Warren R. Davis, member of Congress, the greatest wit and handsomest mah of his time. He was the brother-in-law of John C. Calhoun, and the owner of the beautiful residenoe known asKeowee. The Court Houso which followed the old log building stands in the center of the square, and the jail, a briok building of antique design, may be seen not far away. The churches of this rural town aro also interesting. St. Paul's is the oldest Episcopal churoh in the State above Columbia. In its cerne tory lie buried many prominent citi zens of the placo, viz., Gov. Frank Hu rt, Gen. Barnard Bee, who gave to Gen. Jackson the f amona BOU bri Suot of "Stonewall," Gen. Clement tophens, Lieut. Henry Stephens, Lieut. Sbubrick of the navy, Capt. Alex Warley, Mrs. John C. Calhoun, also Th cs. G. Clemson, founder of Clemson College, the Rev. Jasper Adams, D. D., the Rev. Andrew Cornish, and many others, including Confederate soldiers. On a beautiful hill overlooking Seneca river, whose placid waters roll on and on, gathering strength as they go until the broad expanse of the lovely Savannah is formed, on this lofty height are the graves of the family of Col. Andrew Calhoun, tho last of the name who owned Fort Hill. The first settlers of Pendleton were from Virginia and North Car olina, and among them Gen. Piokens and Gen. Anderson, of the Revolu tionary war. Later on settlers came from Vir ginia in larger numbers ; also from Charleston, among whoso names wo notice the Pincknoys, Hugers, Prin gles, Norths, Gibbes, Stuarts, Gail lards, Cheves, Elliots, Bees, Stepbens, Prioloaus, Trescotts, Smiths, Haynes, Warleys, Adgers and mauy others. Notably among tho first settlers from that grand old State, Virginia, were the Earles, Harrisons, Lewises, Taliaferros, Calhouns, Taylors, Sloans, Whitners, Robinsons, Burts, Ki i pa tricks, and others whose mun cn aro still prominent among the pres ent residents of Anderson county. This Piedmont section of our be loved State is fast growing in favor and leading in the various arts and industries, which is requisite to tho full development of her many re sources. Continuing tho past history of this noted section, wc stroll in imagina tion to secluded spots. From a mag nificently wooded hill can be seen lowor down Seneca river, near Pen dleton, the spot where Gen. Pickens conoluded tho treaty with the Chero kee Indians in 1783, by whioh the lands, were ceded to South Carolina. On a battle ground on the Eighteen Milo oroek, between this historic spot and our village of seven hills, many unique Indian relics have been found from time to time The'Old Stouo churoh, whim, lies three miles from hore, deserves more than a passing notice, but this his toric and sacred spot is woll known far and wide. No more saorcd land mark stands in the upper part of South Carolina. There on old wea ther-stained tablets we find the names of family t rees whose branches are spread far and wide over many States of the Union, such as Pickens, Whitner, Maxwell, Lewis, Sloan, Benson, Kilpatrick, Reese, John Miller, the printer, Dickson, and many others, all worthy and honor able citizens. Near by on thc sido of the ceme tery is the grave of Thomas Bynnm, who foll in tho memorable duel with Hon. B. F. Perry, of Greenville, whioh took placo in 1883 during nul lification times. The grave was formerly marked by two magnificent pines that seemed to stand as lonely sentinels above thc quiet spot, for no loving hand has ever raised a marble shaft to perpetuate tho last, resting place. There is a legend (wo give it tis such) that these pines grew from two poles upon whioh the body was borne from the wagon to the grave, and were placed at the head and foot of tho grave and forthwith took deep root. This is given upon thc best author ity, and we leave the sequel to the thoughtful visitor to the spot'at the present time. This Old Stone churoh was first built of logs in 1701. In 1802 it was built of stone. In the ohuroh yard lie the remains lof five of the ministers of this churoh. Our little town with suoh a past history should once more rise to the duties of the present and turn to ac count her hidden resouroos and de velop and im provo what nature has so well begun, and if tho still air does not eoho in vibrant waves to the cheerful hum of a modern cotton mill, may the olassic hills once more bo adorned with an imposing educa tional strnoture toward which the youth of tho land may wend their eager footsteps, thus perpetuating her former reputation, as sustained by the high sohoo) presided over by those gifted and intelligent sister?, the Misses Bates, under whose in struction soholars of the highest type were fitted to adorn various avoca tions of domestio and intellectual life. We of the present day are hopefully looking forward to the developing of native talent under the able instruction of Prof. R. P. Clink scales and his two associates. The conscientious and offioient work done by the principal is sufficient guaran tee to insure to the publio generally and his patrons especially that no ordinary guide of tiicso young minds is at the helm.

A Message Irom the Pulpit In the old days, and probably to some extent at the present day, the Scotch olergyman was very muoh the pastor of bis Hook. Ho looked out for tho big and little noeds of their souls, and also of their bodies. Dean Ramsey, in his book, "Scottish Life and Charaoter," tells a story vouched for by one of his cores pondents as authentic. John Brown, burgher minister at Whitburn, grandfather of the author of "Rab and His Friends," was trav eling in the early part of last century on a small Shetland Pony to attend the summer saorament at Hadding ton. Between Mnsselbnrg and Tra nent he overtook one of his own people. "What aro yo data' here, .lui.ot, and wbnur ye gaun this warm wather ?" "'Doed, sir," replied Janet, "I'm gaun to Haddington for the ocoasion, an' ox pock to hear ye preach this efternoon." "Vera weol, Janet, but whaur ye gaun to sleep ?" "1 dinna ken, sir, but Providence is aye kind, an'Ml provide a bed." Mr. Brown jogged on to Hadding ton. After service in the afternoon, be fore he pronounced a blessing, he said from tho pulpit : "Whaur's the auld wilie that fol lowed ino frae Whitburn?" "Here I an?, sir!" piped a shrill voice from a baok Boat. "Awoll," said Mr. Brown, "I have fand ye a bed ; ye're to sloop wi' Jennie Fife." A Missouri editor apologir.es to his readers for the lack of news as follows, whioh shows the trials to which a country editor li often sub jeot: "We expected to have a marriage and a death notice this week, but a violent storm prevented the wedding, and the doctor being sick himself, the patient recovered, and we are aocoidingly cheated out of hoth items." LETTER FROM COLUMBIA. The City on the Congaree it Growing, ?ni Her Citizens aie Happy and Contented. Columbia, Novomber 24.-Editors Courier : The State fair for 1002 is Among the things that were. It was a howling success, (could be heard at night for miles,) and the largest orowd since 1882. The C-foot moun taineer, with his quarter section hat and stall-fod looking feet, and the diminutive wu m poo, broth-loving native of the bog, met and mingled in sweet accord, and all oame laden with glad tidings dt good crops. Many went out loaded with X goods, and a bunch of headaches to last a month. Much of this great moral invigorator was soaked up, indeed, but peaoo and good fellowship pre vailed, and the police had but little to do. I saw but little of the fair, and saw but little, by night, of the mobs that thronged the streets. The people could not find lodging. Restaurant?, hotel lobbies, shops of all kinds were packed and jammed. Every age, size, color and condition of man was represented ; all talking and tramp (ing, just tramping-God only knows where-heads up and mouths open like a cat hole in a cabin door. The street Kubes and fakirs came in swamis and reaped a harvest, too. It's rough to encourage this class of people, yet it would not be a fair without them, as they aro a part of the show and have been since the beginning of fairs. Several hundred young men formed a hat-smashing brigade and many derbies were destroyed. Some got mad, others laughed it off and marched on in happy ignorance of the fate of their sky. piece, and, with one exception, all was peaoe. There is, without doubt, the best crop being harvested in South Caro lina that has been raised since the war-everything considered. The crops on the State farms are the best in their history. Superintendent Griffith is an able man, and ono of the best farmers in the Stato to-day. Columbia is growing fast, and the people aro prosperous and contented. Our post office, once too large, is now too small, and" tho people are kicking for more room and better accommodations. The present build ing was completed in 1874, when Columbia was in short skirts. Now tho mails from sixty mail trains pass through hor hands daily. In 1897 the receipt s of this office were . :';>, OOO. Now they amount to over $50,000. In 1897 there were about 5,500,000 pieces of mail handled in this office. This year there will be nearly 20,000,000 pieoos, so says Postmaster J. F. Ensor, and it goos to show how the old town is jump ing after Charleston, and in another fifteen years will pass her. Just watch I Tho real estate ageuts hero claim that good houses are rented before they aro completed. There will soon bo a complete steamboat system between hero and Georgetown and Charleston, which means muoh to the city. There is some new entorprise open ing here overy day. A $20,000 sup ply company oponed yesterday, and still they come. The weather is like spring. No frost here yet to kill cotton, and in . places it looks as green as in August. Cotton is still king, yet Wall street sets the price and sets m.my good mon in tho streets, as the following comment on some poor fellow's un doing will show. This paper said in part : uThore were ninety and nine that safely lay in the shelter of the fold, but one to Wall street wan dered away, and the bulls and the bears with his fleece got gay, and the wind wasn't tempered for him that day, so this lamb oaught his death of cold."
