? J An Exciting Horse Una*. DKATIXU THK IIEST TWO-MILK UKCOTll). The third racing event at Prospect Park, Coney Island, Ncv York, Thursday, was the old-lime event, ut two mile lituts?a race very rarely run nowadays. It lind four starters:? Governor Hampton, Cletnmie 0-, Willie 1). and Blossom. Put few races have beeu run this season on which the belting has been heavier or the interest greater. Governor Hampton was a strong favorite, and sold in one pool just before tho start for $l,til)0, to Ctimifiie G. at 5415, Willie 1>. at $31)5 uud Blossom ut $130. For the first mile and a half Cfentuiie U. ran in the lead, with Governor Hampton second for tho same distance, at the end of which Willie D. ran up, and keeping right alon^ took the lead himself in the third quarter, in which Blossom also ran up from fourth placo. The foui ran into the homestretch on very neatly even terms. A good sharp finish followed, at the end of which Willie 1>. was leading by a length, with Governor Hampton the same distance in front of Blossom, she eight lengths in front of Clemtbio G., who was pulled up when she hud no longer any chance for tho heat. The pace was fast from start to finish, the heat being run in 3.34 J, which is the best first heat run on a regular and wellknown track except that of Geo. Graham in his famous race against King Alfonso at Louisville, in September, 1875. For the second licnt Clemiiiic G. again took the lead uud selling tHe pace good and strong led for a nnleaiid quarter, with Willie I), running second,. Governor Hampton closely by Blossom, who nt the hail'-mile pole was only a length behind Willie 1). nn-l (wo lengths in front of (he others. Running down to (he three-quartor9 she went back, and at the three quarters was third, half a length behind Hampton. Willie I)., however, was leading by four lengths, which advantage he increased, running up the stretch to fivo lengths, and by that distance be wen, with Governor Hampton second, two lengths in front of Clcmtnie <!., she and Blossom finishing together.? Time 3.35. This makes the race really the fastest regular race on record, tho only one hotter being a race won by Bradamantc, nt Jackson, M iss., in li>77, which was reported to have heen run in 3.321 and 3.*20, the next best being by Lottery, nt Sacramento, in September, 1878, which was reported to have been run in 3.3t> and 3.3f>?. Willie D.'s success was scarcely a surprise to those who know how well he was bred. But the success must be poor consolation to Mr. Crouse, who sold the almost worthless Lazarus ntid now sees him under the name of Willie D. virtually beating the record. - lloMiruiK is Laxcastkk.?The particulars of & fatal affray in Lnncastcr County, S. C., Monday, were received in this city yesterday. The victim was Dr. J. J. Horton, a brother of Mr. C. C. Horton, of this city, a highly respected physician, who lived near Pleasant Hill, and the slayor was James Bennett, one of his tenants. The difficulty occurred nbout the rents. Dr. Horton, on the day before the occurrence, went to the house of the father of James Bennett and complained of the delay in the delivery of his shore of the crop. On tho following day lic sent his wagon to the field where Bennett was working, with instructions to Bennett to load it with his share of the fudder which had just been cured. 1 he wagon Uid not return as soon as it should have done, and Dr. Morton went to the field to ascertnin the cause of the delay.? lie found I lint no steps had been taken toward loading the wagon. In the course of a conversation n quarrel sprang up between the two men, and Dr. Morton struck Dennett with a cane.? The latter drew a pistol and tired at his antagonist, striking him in the abdomen. Me died almost immediately. Dennett made no attempt to escape, and shortly after the occurrence was arrested and scut to jail in Lancaster. - Ai'pkai. for Aii>.?The following circular, says the Columbia Register, will explain itself. The press of the State is requested to extend its circulation : To (he Indr/iendent Order of Odd Fellows of the Grand Jurisdiction of South Carolina : Brktiirkn : An appeal has been made by .11. W. (jraud .Master Dudd, of Tennessee, for aid td our stricken brethren in that jurisdiction, which is now being scourged by yellow fever.? The call upon the Odd Fellows of South Carolina, whom a Merciful l'rovidence has seen fit to exempt from this terrible pestilence, should not pass unheeded. All the Lodges anil the brethren in this jurisdiction are earnestly cntreateil to contribute of their means to the relief of our suffering brethren in Memphis and other portions of Tennessee where yellow fever is prevailing. To be of any avail, thecontributions should be made at once, llcmit to the Sec rotary, at Columbia. N. W. Trump, Grand Master I. O. O. if., S. C. II. N. Emi.yn, Grand Secretary. Mom: than a Milk a Minute.?There has recently been a controversy umong railroad engineers ns to the speed of trains, some contending that it was impossible to go at the rate of a mile a minute. On Tuesday a test was made on the fast train on the Pennsylvania ltailroad between 1'hilndclphia and New York, which makes no stop for a distance of 80 tnilcs, hctwccii German town Junction andJcrsy City. Five miles were passed over in exactly 4 minutes and seconds. At another point th?-ce miles were made in *2 minutes and 3G seconds. No extra speed was made on this train, which consisted of four ears, containing 163 passengers. The engineers of the Pennsylvania Knilroad assert that there arc a dozen Trains a day that malic a mile a minute on every trip. ? A Cool. Thief.?One night lust week some fellow broke into Captain T. M. Sanders' millhouse. He was in search of corn meal; this we infer from the fact that finding ro meal he poured some corn into the hopper and at once proceeded to let on the water with the intention of running the machine himself. His movements aroused tho attention of the miller, who, on going to the mill, found that the thief had sloped and left behind him a lot of coarsely chopped com, having failed to get the ''hang of the thing" in his efforts to make menl. That fellow could keep himself comfortable when the thermometer is at 100 ; he is so cool.? Cheater Reporter September 11. Slavery in CViia Doomed.?Havana, September 11.?Deports have been received from Santiago de Cuba 'hat the slaves on the plantations have demanded liberty, and that their masters have promised to give them freedom if they will engage to Work three years for wages. Many slaves are running away, and the local authorities have asked Captain General Blanco what t hey shall do. A dispatch from Madrid announces tlint (lie floverninent will propose lo the Cortes that all slaves be given '.heir liberty on July 1st, 1880, on condition of sevCn years' obligatory labor with wages paid. . ; i .

' l B&" We had the pleasure of a short visit from our old friend, Matthew Lynn, of Gafl'ney ' City, last Monday, lie informed us that Gatfncy was on rising ground, and destined to be a ( considerable place of business. The cotton mar- . ket was quite brisk there last week, the prices 1 ranging front 10J to 11c. ' EQY- Columbia is trying to organize a Board J of Trade. The only difficulty in the way op- c pears to be in deciding who shall belong to , it. Some contend that only those who sell cnli- ? co and sugar should be eligib'e, while others s tiink there arc other tradesmen in that City ' besides Dry Goods and Grocery merchants.? We hope a decision will be made that will se- ? cure permnnency to the organization. ? f Beturaed from Market. Capt. A. IF.

It is our sad office this week to nnnounce the ii death of one of Union's most estimable young n ladies, Miss Penelope, eldest daughter of Col. David Johnson. Sr., which occurred on Saturday ^ night last. Miss Johnson had been a great suf- 1 ferer for many yenrs, from a bronchial affection. which at last settled upon her lungs ; but the consolations of the puro christian's faith and g hope enabled her to endure her sufferings with c an humble and uncomplaining submission to the j will of "Him who tempers the wind to the shorn '2 lamb" and "whodoethnll things well. Her re- ,8 mains were interred in the Episcopal Church ^ graveyard on Sunday afternoon, the Her. R. D. (j Smart of the Methodist Church reading the 7 Episcopal service in the absence of the Pastor, A The funeral was the largest seen in this town ^ for many years, and the profusion of wreaths j and flowers which were placed upon her grave 1 attested the high esteem in which she was held 1 by all in the community. j The Crops in Union. Now that the pickers are in the field a good j estimate can be made of the cotton crop. Pickers as well as Fanners tell us that it will require mosl t'lLVnrfihln vvonlltnr nn?( n ? ' ??"??? b to make half a crop of cotton in Union County. r In some section* a half crop cannot he made, A while in others the most favorable circumstan- (' will not bring more than half a crop. Pickers | are complaining that the bolls are small and few on the stalk, which mnkes it harder to pick a hundred pounds than usual. Upland corn is very poor, but in tho "bottom" ^ or lowland the ciop is fine. F The weather is very dry, with oold nights and '' warm days, and not favorable to the potato* and fl turnip crops. A little rain now would be beneficial. It would help to fill ouL-the late end ira- ? mature cotton bolls and make botb turnips and | potatoes grow, besides giving a chance to aow g oats, barley, Ac. a 4P t>?

Ki^fon *-?Tl?cr?jn a subject now engftg ug the til Cent ion of the planters or this srcito* tnd which is of vita) importance to every coin nunity in our County and State?one too upoi ivhicli the statutes of tlio Stato are couipaia ively silent.

I venture the assertioi hat no section of our County has been frc Yom such "enticing, inveigling or movin iway," and yettho only recourse thnt the far tier has had, has been to the old English law 01 tucli cases and the decisions of our iSupreiiii ,'ourt. 'Tis a sad fact, yet a truthful one, thn elf inferert is the ruling passion of the mnjorit; >f niatikiud ami, in disregard of all custom 01 iounscl, ninny a man will wilfully attempt to sc it naught the plans of his neighbor, unless re drained by tho stern edict of a law he under Hands, Such a case as the following, oftei tappens: A hires a laborer, or laborers, goes to the ex icnsc of buildingtheni a house, moves them fron i distance, and they Itnve actually commencei vork for A.?perhaps prepared some of his land or planting?when neighbor 1} conies along o endt and by means of higher wages promised intices said laborers away, thereby damnging i 10 little in purse, besides disconcertiug hi vhole arrangements for cultivating his lauds fo he year. What is A's remedy ? As we have said, onl; ecourse to the old English statutes. It has ai vays been to me an inexplicable n\ysfery wh; iur Legislators have been so loath or easy 01 his subject; and while we arrogate toourselve 10 extreme or even medium foresight upon th object we are of the opinion thnt some law lik he followiug is needed in our State ; Let every inan be compelled by statute to en er.inlo a written contract, the first of every year viili his hirelings or tenants (unless where th enaucy is for a term of years) aud in def.iul f entering into such written ngreeinent let hin r theiu he debarred from prosecuting or mnin lining any suit against any person or personi vhu may "entice, inveigle or move awny" sue! nborcr or tenant: nnd let the Bill contain i Inuse making it a criminal offense against anj icrson who shall wilfully endeavor, even, 01 rho shall knowingly "entice, inveigle or mou way" said laborer: nnd let there be. nlso t lause empowering the farmer or contractor t< aintain a suit for damages against the ofTcn er." This wi le spread custom of interfering rith a neighbor's laborers has become too com ion ; but if such a law ns wo have moniin.m.l bovc is enacted wo opne it will not only be enclicial to iho individual farmer and contract r, but will have a salutary effect, in placing th< ibur of our country upon a more stable and ^liable basis, and thereby a<lil not only to tlx inuunt of crops ruised annually, but contribute ? the general prosperity of *11. It will tend tc rente a'Stfonger confidence between tlie con actor and his laborers, and it will aerve tc .reugtlien the cords of existing friendships be' ween neighbors, instead of engendering those itcrnal (or infernal if you please) discords that ow so often arise and disrnct the good feelingt I neighborhoods. Let Trial Justices be em owered to approve and file, in a book kept for le purpose, such contracts ns may be presented > them, charging say, 10 cents for the same nd there will be no further trouble, so far ns II latf-abiding cilizeus or contractors are con crned. Until men are taught by the stern penalties o lie law, that every one lias rights, in this par icular, ibat are sacred and not to be violated rith impunity, there will be a disposition, un erlying the ground work of oursocia) slate, It jrd it with "might over right," and keep ii untinued upheaval the quietude of every com lunity, and our couutry will be dsterioratinj nstead of advancing in that material wealtl nd prosperity which the Ood of Nature ha Inced in our reach.

Dlfflenlty of Self-Gsvernment. s We do not say tlint it is easy to acquire habt its which ure against the original tendency of tUb character. For one who is born careless and procrastinating it is exceedingly difficult to be s methodical and prompt. The instinct is not to i do to-day what can by any possibility be put off , till lo-iuorrow ; and trying to take tiuie by the , forelock involves a struggle and much exertion. Vet, both method and promptitude are to be r learned, and* human bnture, being on one side o of it, automatic habits are formed whereby that n which was in the beginning beyond measure distnsteful becomes comparatively easy. Those wdio really wish to becomo methodical?say careY ftil over their minor duties?can holp themselves by mechanical aids. They can put their unanIt swered letters, for Instance, in one place and their answered ones in another, and take pleasure in seeing the pile of one diminish while that of tho other increases. They can find enough enerev surelv to take a dnv for thoir nccountsnnd persistenly let the unsettled book weigh like so s many incubi on their thought! until they are y properly balanced and arranged. They can e force themselves to be orderly by small beginnings, if they cannot do things all at once; and 0 they can make themselves ashamed of thefVighlful muddle in which some people live to which they themselves are prone, but which, also, if they will hut seo things as they arc, they will understand is a vice nnd to be avoided ns they would avoid the beginnings of degradation.? All these things nro to be done by couscioua nnd 'J eo??mffcnus self discipline; and without that self discipline rrottiHtg u n There is no more a royal road to good habits than to lenrning. Step by step, and with painful effort, we conquer here, we subdue there.? ? We mould ourselves bit by bit nnd bout by hour, r till time comes in to help us with our work, and 11 habit rencts on itself by crystalixing and cone solidating, or custom becomes necessity and nc& tion automatic. Then we may say that we have formed good habits, nnd wo may be, so far, satis fied with ourselves. Ilut wo must always ro1 member to our condemnation?if we deserve condemnation? that the most unsatisfactory in^ clinations in the world could hnvo been conr quered and turned to good had we but the courage to attack our secret foes nnd determine on ' forcing our way into the higher class of the self desciplincd. Ami what we can do with the 11 more mechanical habits ?>t lifo we enn also do with the moral nature. The irritable nnd impatient can. if they will, learn calmness and patienco. the fretful can bo cliporfnl. the hrnnilin? a open hearted. the passiom.te can tame down 8 those wild beasts, within their hearts and the r jealous can become less selfish and learn "altruism" for the Rood of the world. We can all have the possibility of a conscious if 3 we do n<it cultivate what we have; and we r all have a certain amount of reasoning faculties which we might mako more of if we 1 would. If we will, wo may be good, at least up to a certain point; for though it is not given to ^ every human being to be a hero or a saint, it is 1 given to every one. not an idiot or born a casta3 way, to rise rather than to fall, to cultivate his e virtues rather than sacrifice to his vices. It is e all a question of self discipline, whether the good has teen uppermost or the bad most cherished. P. II.
