Kelley was driving a team of two mules on the road near Cater Browning's, In the Burnt Tan yard 'settlement, several miles from Walhalla, when be was surprised by the quick gath -lng of clouds, a heavy gust of wind and sharp bolts of lightning. As quickly as possible Mr. Kelley drove his team under shelter at Mr. Browning's, and but shortly after getting under shelter there was an awful crash, a blinding light, and Mr. Kelley was knocked down unconscious, his two mules falling stone dead on top of him. Young Aiken Browning, who had joined Mr. Kelley when the latter drove under th? shelter, was severe ly shocked, though not so badly as Mr. Kelley, and the former soon had assistance in getting Mr. Kelley from under the mules. Mr. Kelley is still suffering from the bruises caused fmm the falling of the mules on his though he counts himself for tunate in escaping with his life. The loss of his team of fine mules falls heavily, on Mr. Kelley, he hav ing recently' purchased them for $500, and friends have come to his relief, and q?lte a neat sum has been subscribed to replace his stock. He ls a hard-working, energetic farmer, and well deserving of assistance. Friends throughout this and neigh boring communities sympathize deeply with Mr. Kelley in his loss, but rejoice with him in his good for tune in escaping with his life. .#. All-Day Singing at Salem.

Editors Keowee Courier: I have read with much amusement the linguistic controversy between your Richland and Bounty Land corres pondents. It's splendid. Greek meets Greek. I would like to see them keep lt up. It's fine mental exercise for them and interesting to your readers. So I send you the within skit to publish if you wish, to add fuel to the flame. Frequently persons sending arti cles to papers, to secure publication, I suppose, say: "1 think you get out the best paper In -," and so say I of The Courier, I think you get out the best weekly In-Walhalla? yea, verily, In South Carolina. Bounty Land vs. Richland. Richland's heel ls on thee, sure, Bounty Land; His touch is on thy school house door, Bounty Land; Avenge thy literary lore, Thy winged Pegasus, let lt soar, j And banish lgn'rance evermore, I Bounty Land, my Bounty Land. j Oh, heard you not the Richland i muse, Bounty Land? He gave you-well, you must excuse, Bounty Land; He dipped his pen In Ink profane, And came at you might and main; And hence from me this sad refrain, Bounty Land, my Bounty Land. Oh, hear ye not the distant bum, Bounty Laud? Bum! hum! bum! bum! bum! bum! bum! Bounty Land. Hark! 'tis the gun of old man "Grunt," y And sure he's commanding some- ' Bum! bum! bum! bum! bum! bum! bum! Bounty Land, my Bounty Land. Now Richland's old, her sleep pro found, Bounty Land, And boasting ls but empty sound, Bounty Land; So rise you up, with air right jaunty, Thrlco blessed land of Nature's . bounty The fairest spot In 'Cottee county Bounty Land, my Bounty Land. Thou wilt not cower In the dust, Bounty Land, But parry ev'ry jealour thrust, Bounty Land; Show thom that Richland's not so rich, Their boasted greatness a fetich, Their light as dark as midnight pitch, Bounty Land, my Bounty Land. -An Exile.
