A Bloody Ulvksuc Affray.?Spartanburg,
September 'I'l.?John B. Banter was arrested
here this morning by S. J. l)a*is, United States
m irshal aud special deputy collector, on a bench
warrant issued in North Carolina in 1878, and
gate bail to appear before the United States
Court at tho next terui in Asheville. This afternoon
he was ngain arrested by Davis on the
same matter on which be had given bond tbis
morning, and Davis,- being intoxicated, drew
his pistol and threatened to shoot Banter.?
When Banter attempted to take the pistol from
hint-it was discharged, the ball striking and
shattering Davis's left thigh bone. Banter ran
and was pursued by a crowd. Anthony Harvey
and Sam Herbert, both colored, fired at him,
the former Hittintr him in the flcshv nart of the
left thigh. llarvoy and Herbert were arrested
and are in jail. Davis's wound is being dressed.
It is thought the leg may have to he amputated.
The whole trouble was caused by Davis being
drunk, l'antor's wound was slight, anal ho
has succeeded in making his escape.
Latkr. The Spartan informs us that after
Pantcr was shot "he no longer attempted to
cscapo, but quietly awaited till some one arrested
him.

A Midnight Odtuagk.?Last Monday night
at 2 o'clock a party of unknown persons went
to the residence of President W. II. Ilnrdin, of
the Cheraw and Chester Kailroad, and cursing
fearfully, called for him to come out: Mr.
Hardin was absent from home. Hcing apprised
of the fact, the marauders vented themselves of
a volley of horrid oaths, saying they had come
to kill him, and although tlicy had missed
him, they would yet have their revenge.
They rode into the yard and otherwise committed
malicious trespass on the premises. Failing
in their diabolical purpose, they dispatched
the yard dog. They tired two shots into the
dog's body and then left.
The invaders were unknown, as was nlso the
cause of their dastardly conduct. Steps have
been (auca to ferret out the matter, anil it is to
bo hopeil that it will be quickly anil successfully
done. Persons guilty of such an outrage in a
civilized community should he summarily put
?o the rope's end.?Chester Bulletin.

Little Buttercup to tho gallant Captain of

September 10.?The board of Penitentiary
directors arc still in session with closed doors.
I learn to-day that charges of cruel treatment
of convicts will lie brought against some of the
lessees, if not at this at some future meeting
and that at least two judges in the State
will take cognizance of this shameful matter,
nnd that they will do so in obedience to a request
made seme time ago by Governor Simpson
in a .circular addressed to the Judges, asking
for statistics in regard to the increase and decrease
of crime in all parts of tho State.
CoxnunsstoNAL Raieroah Regulation.?NewYork,
September 18.?A letter has been addressed
to W. II. Vandorbilt by a committee of
tlio fhftml.m- <'nniiii >rp? mi railrcad Irnna
portation, suggesting Congressional action to
regulate railroad traffic throughout the United
States. The letter proposes that the Presidents
of trunk lines should cause to bo prepared
for presentation to Congress nt its next
session a bill designed to accomplish this object.
They further suggest that a bill should be presented
for criticism to representatives of the
commercial bodies in the several cities.
Charleston IIotei, Improvements.?Messrs.
Cameron & itarkley, on Saturday, erected at the
Charleston Hotel one of Knowlcs's Patent Steam
Pumps for the use of the hotel insupplying their
tanks with water and for running tlie new hydraulic
elevator. A test of the pump was made
which resulted very satisfactorily and exhibited
the power of tlie machine to be 5,000 gallons an
hour. The car for the new elevator arrived by
the steamer Charleston yesterday and the workmen
arc also here for the purpose of putting it
up.?News and Conner.
A Modern Sampson.?A colorcil man named
Itrown Aiken, from Chnrloston. says (he Columbia
l'oeman, lias lately been giving exhibitions
of his marvelous strength. Yesterday he lifted
seven hundred pounds of iron, and later in the
day, on a small wager, shouldered a 400 pound
bag of cotton nnd threw it on a wagon. This
modern Sampson is a man of powerful build,
but only of ordinary size.
A Great Deficit of Wiikat.?London, September
18.?Mr. Thomas C. Scott, a well known
agricultural authority, writes to the Times as
follows: "Government and- trade estimates
show (lint the surplus wheat in America, Russia
nnd the East is f>05,000 quarters less than the
aggregate deficiency of tlio various countries,
nnd a rise in the price of breadsuffs is therefore
anticipated."

of Virginia renrescnt the corn ami cotton
crops ns np to the average notwithstanding the
distressing drought which prevailed from the
10th of June to the 20th of July Inst. Tho tobacco
crop will only yield two-thirds ot the
usual quantity. The peanut crop is said to he
the best ever raised in the Stato. All the minor
crops are in a promising condition.

low in Union this season.
Butter, Chickens and Eggs are awful
scarce in this town. Dry bread, with occasion
ally a dab of lard or n spoonful of bacon gravy
on it, is common for supper. Tho sight of <1

Mrs. Rebecca Tulcn at McNeil's Station,
on tho Tort Iloyal Railroad, was seriously shol
iu the leg just above the ankle on the 18th, by
the discharge of a gun that accidentally fell

nud she is now in a critical condition.
&3C" It is now supposed that tho cotton crop
of Orangeburg will bo about three-quarters. II
tho seasons continue favorablo the bulk of the
crop will be gathered by tho middle of October.
The pea crop is almost ruined for want of rain.
The heaviest ont crop will be sowed this fall that
ever was in that county.
The Yellow Fever Scourge.
We regret to see that tho Yellow Fever is
still raging iu Memphis, and that it is spreading
into parts of Mississippi nud Louisiana.
New Store to be Opened.
We learn that Mr D. O. Flynn has rented the
store in Goss' new building, lately occupied by
Trial Justice Wallace, and will open, in a few
days, a large slock of Dry Goods, Clothing and
Hats.
The Cotton Crop.
That tho cotton crop of Union will not be over
half an average is now well ascertained. Tho
late cold dry weather has affected it worse than
the long drought in the Summer. The August
crop, which, it was hoped, would make up tho
deficiency in the July crop, will turn out worse
than it has for years baek.
Religious Moetiug.
A protracted meeting has been in progress in
the Baptist Church of this town since last Sunday,
conducted by Itevs. A. \V. I.amar and C. T.
Scaifc, assisted ly Rev. R. D. Smart of the Methodist
Church. Large congregations have attended
and much religious feeling has been aroused.?
The meeting will continue until after next Sunday,
at least.
R. V/. Shand Appointed.
At a meeting of Hie Justices of the Supreme
Court, held at Columbia on the 2l!d, the following
order was made : "It is ordered, that Robert
W. Shand be appointed Reporter of the Supreme
Court for the term of two years.
No better appointment could have been made,
and the Justices of the Supreme Court have
honored themselves and the Slate in making it.
A Good Trick.
One of the most serviceable and convenient
attachments to a sewing machine or chair that
we have seen is Sloan's six-wheel Sewing Machine
Casters, for the sa'c of which Mr. T. J.
Greer is the Agent. These casters save all the
strain and trouble of moving the machine to any
part of the house, besides saving carpets and
enabling the ladies to move their machines and
the invalid his or her chair to a cooler or warmei
position in the room without any exertion. It
is a good thing, sure.

Our Cffion Market.
WiULftit intending to excite any unklad compotitiqfcin
neighboring markets toward us, wo
feel ilrtp be our duty to the Farmers of Union
CountUo inform tlicin where they can get the
most fWthcir cotton ; and in doing so wo shall
udhcrcjBrictly to such facts as we can prove
beybnqdispute. On Thursday or Friday of last
week tto.parties went from tho neighborhood o^
Cr|ss KsgJ^jfo Spartanburg and sold their cotton
for 9-80; at the same time a party from that same
neighborhood brought his cotton to Union and
sold it for 10J?45 cents in favor of the Union
[ Market. On Monduy and Tuesday last about
tho same difference in favor of Union prevailed,
according to tho Spartan report and our cotton
' purchases:
! Monday, at Spartanburg 9}
" Union, 9^@9-C0
Tuesday, at Spartanburg, 9J
Union 91@9-35
With these transactions and figures before the
people wo olaim that Union C. II. is the best
, market for Union Farmers to sell at; and as to
j fair, honest, straight-forward dealing, wo chal,
lenge a comparison, in prices, measure, weight
^ and quality, of merchandise purchase! here with
purchases made in neighboring markets. Wo
venture tho assertion that any casli purchase
I .1 0? 1? i?
tuuvtv ul uj'um.uummg will uu uu^uvuivu ujf hut
merchant in Union, upon the same terms. With
the coltbn fi&r&ct higher and goods of all kinds
k fully as cheap at Union C. II., where is the
1 souse and economy of our Farmers in going anywhere
else to sell and buy.

' Newspaper Dans.
^ Many complain that Editors do the most dunning
of any other class. One reason for the
' complaint is that everybody sees aud reads every
> Editoriat dun thnt uppears in the papers. Most
merchants dun those they cannnot see personnli
ly and convcnicnt'y, once a year through the
r newspnpers, with imperative demands for payment,
often with a threat to sue, and no complaint
is made about that; that is all right; those
who owe the merchant ought to pay him, is the
general cry; but tho Editor who has from 500 to
1000 little debts of ?2, some duo every week in the
year, scattered all over the county, and distributed
among as many individuals, not one-tenth
of whom he sees more than once a year and
one-half of whom he would not know if ho met
thein in tho street, besides tho well known fact
that one-half tho people never think of paying
debts until they arc dunned, in some way;
notwithstanding all this, if.thc Editor publishes
two duns in a year he is marked down as a decided
bore?an "iuvctcrato dun."
Well, geutlcmcn, we can't help what you say
or think of us, we tell nil who owe us that we
want money aud you arc tho enly persons we have
a right to call on for it. In consequence of the
scarcity of money the past Summer we have been
very indulgent, until now we find four-fifths of
our subscribers arc in arrears and we think it
> nothing but fair, now that cotton is bringing a
decent price, that you should set asido from
your first sales the trilling amounts due us.

A fief to-morrow the Treasurer will be in bis
office at (his place, until (ho 30th of tio.it mont\>,
to receive the taxes of this county. We advise
all who possibly can to make payments before
the crowd becomes so great?which is usually
the case during a few of tho last days?that the
Treasurer has not time to give receipts for all.
The law makes no allowance for being too late,
and the Treasurer iscompcllcd toclose his book on
the night of the 30th, so that the penally will be
added to all taxes unpaid upon his books at that
time. Another important advantage will bo
gained by early payments : I.ast year 'there
was great grumbling about the errors committed
by tho Treasurer. Most of those errors were
caused by the great hurry of the last few days
of collecting taxes. Hundreds crowdo 1 the
Treasurer's office from morn till night, clamoring
to pajraad get receipts. We then thought
it would require a man to be more thnn human
not to make many mistakes amid sncli a din and
pressure.

Messrs. Goss, Colton, Gee and McLure have re'

Educated Abroad.?"Hie numbcrof&outh Car- I
olina young men who are going abroad to com- (
plcte their education is a subject well worthy j
the consideration of the Trustees of the Univcr- (
sity at their next meeting.
The above from the Columbia Register suggests
to us that whilo our excellent Governor is calling
for Agricultural statistics and statistics of
crimo in the State, why not call for statistics as
to the number of young men sent out of the
State to complete their education. It would be
valuable information in the discussion of the
University question next winter. If each county
sends out of the State an equal number with
Uuion, we cstiinato that not less than 500 young
Carolinians complete their education in other
States?perhaps many more.
For the Times.
A Kind Word from a Valued Source.
It is very gratifying to mark a disposition
among your readers to report the condition of
the crops ns well as other matters of common I
interest, from various portions of theCounty. Unless
people take an interest in their County paper J
it cannot succeed. If the readers of the Tigiea \
want an interesting paper they must help the I
editor. Thoso who can afford to lake a daily !
paper?whoso interests require theni to keep
up with the times?may not feol much interest j
in the local paper, but there arc a great many '
who cannot afford to take a daily?who, in fact,
have no use for it?and the County paper is j
what they want. The farmers throughout tho
County should report weekly as to tho eonai- i
tion of the crops and such local news as may be 1
of interest. We all like to know what is going
on in different sections of the County. Hut I
there is yet a higher view to take of the mat- 1
ter :
The County paper is looked upon abroad as
the exponent of th s tone of character, intelligence
and culture of it inhabitants. You can't
shake this off. Every member of society is in
sotno degree responsible for the standing of his
County paper, and if its columns arc dull and
uninteresting it follows, of course, that outsiders
conclude there is a lack of brains, public
spirit or County pride among the inhabitants.
Union has the reputation of being a good
farming County ; its merchants enjoy abroad a
reputation for integrity that is really enviable
They pny their debts and their credit is good.
There are several young men, educated professional
characters, all of whotn nearly complaiu
of hard times and not much to do. There arc
intelligent young farmers throughout the County
who can write sensible articles, if they will try.
It is the interest of every man in society to make
his County paper a medium through which the
whole County can be roused at a moment. It
should be the exponent of public opinion?the
guardian of the people's rights, tho moral educator
as well ns news expositor.
Spartanburg has two papers, so has York,
Chester, Greenville, Abbeville, and many others.
Are these counties better able to support papers,
or do they contain a more intelligent population
? llruin work is ns essential to the success
of a people as manual labor, and ns manual labor
strengthens the muscles nnd gives tone to
physical functions, so docs mental culture improve
the intellectual powers. The man .wfho. >
allow? his mental faculties to lio dormant will
become daily nioro imbecile?a driveller end a
shame. J. G.

Written Contracts.
Mr. Editor:?Your correspondent "Lionncl,"
lias certainly overlooked the Statutes in reference
to contrncts between landlords and tenants,
or laborers. It seems to ine that be ought to
find all tho remedies necessary without having
to resort to the "old English law," or the decisions
of the Supreme Court. If he will look he
will find wli^t constitutes a "contract" betweon
landlord and tenant, as well as tho remedy for
its violation by either party. Perhaps I may
mistake "Lionnels" object. Probably he wants a
Law rondo by which oases of violation may be
brought into Court upon n triangular basis, and
his neighbor B" made to suffer for tho short
coming of an irresponsible laborer.
We know a number of Landlords who never
have a written contract with their tenants, and
who scarcely ever havo? any trouble iu settling
with them. Wo adroit that it is ahvnys best to
have written contracts?such never forget the
conditions of the agreement, iu case final settlement
should fall into other hands from any
cause.
Tho idea that "every man bo compelled by
Statute to enter into a written contract, the first
of every year, with his hirelings or tenants, iH I
simply ridiculous. It gives neither landlord
nor tenant a chance to suit thomsclvcs.
Again, paying a Trial Justice 10 cents to approve
and flic, in a book kept for that purpose,
such contracts as may bo presented to them," is
one of "Lionnel's" original ideas, which 1 pre.
numo the Trial Justices will discuss among themselves.
Union county is represented by as able men
as any county in4he State, and to them wo may
look for a proper disposition of "Lionnels"
suggestions. WARD.

to bo nearly $2,000,000. Tho People's Hank, ^
which is one of the losers, made nu assignment
lo-day and will wind up. This is a State bank,
distinct from the People's National llank, which
is not affected.
The books of the bank show tint its assets are
540,000 above all its liabilities, and upon their
showing Mr. Lengnick. the President, slates
rcry positively that the assets of the bank are

that depositors need feel no uneasiness. The

Gold for the Million.?Washington, September
19.?The Secretary of tho treasury issued
tc-day a circular authorizing tho treasurer
of tho United Slates and the assistant treasurers
at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Cincinuatti, Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans
and San Francisco, to pay out geld coin, as well
as silver coin nnd notes, upon current obliga- ^
tians of the Government, and upon advances to
disbursing officers as may be convenient and
practicable.
Transfers of coin for this purpose will bo
made lo any assistant treasurer, when necessary,
by tho treasurer of the United States. Upon
application to the treasurer of tho United States
in this city, and upon receipt by him of a certificate
of deposit issued by United States assistant
treasurer in New York, stating that
there has been deposited with him legal tender
notes in the sum of a hundred dollars, or multiples
thereof, lie will nlso cause to be shipped
from the mint at l'hiladclphia to tho "depositor
at his risk and oxponsc the like amount of coin.
The exchange of gold coiu for United States
notes at other sub-treasury offices than New
York, appears to be provided by Section 3,051
Revised Statutes, but it is bcliovcd that payments
of coin, as above authorized, will enable
persons to secure nil that may be desired.
