Greenville, S. (?., Feb. 7.? Major W. A
Williams, woll known as "Dixie" Williams,
ono of tho most prominent citizens of this
city, was shot through the heart and killed
by James H. Wil'iains at a few minutes after
1- o'c'ock this morning. Major Williams
and his murderer were playing a game of
cards io u private room opposite tho Mansion
House. They disputed about the game and
Major Williams drew his knife. J. 11. Wil
liaius enid : "I am unarmed." Major Williams
then threw tho knife on the lahlc and
Baid : "Then I'll fight you on tho muscle."

Feb. 2.?A movement is being secretiy
had among the colored people hers for the
introduction of a colored man into the Cabinet
of President Harrison. There is a strong
feeling of dissatisfaction among the o dorod

Republican parly, ns represented in
to keen i-o'iiir. j,!uu|(vi in do to llicin, an?l
it is thought that this feeling will work disastrously
lor Republican succe-s a( (he next
Presidential election.
It is suggested that this can be averted |
provided the l'tevident recognizes the gravity
of tho case and applies a remedy by appointing
a colored man to n place in his Cabinet. '
It was more or less generally belived among <
the colored people, when President Harrison t
was forming his Cabinet, that a co'ored man
was to be given one of the less important
portfolios.
They were somewhat disappointed when
this did not occur, but wero consr,ic<i with
the promise that they would find compensation
in special legislation which, was to \>c
had in their favor. Now they imagine that
they have been deceived, \?\?o wishing to give
the Administration ano.ber opportunity to ,
provo its sincerity, propose to ask President
llarrison to give a place in his Cabinet to
one of their representative men.
It is in this way only, they contend, that I
the A fro-American vote can be kept ioyal to
the Republican party.?-\V?e York Continent.

mill his fee ami tho enmpuiuii was open

'or the Legislature was handed in without *'

Wo learn there is some dissatisfaction at *
our course in this matter, as we had pre* 5
viously published favorable notices of Messrs 1
Otis aud Douglass for the samo position. P
When those gentlemen were proposed '
through the Times, tho primary election had
not been ordered nnd tho campaign had not ?
opened, so that recommendations wore prop- <p
orly in order and, at our discretion, without
any chargo, but after the election machinery T
bn<I been rut in motion aud candidates were

ust to tlicm, t\s well its oursclf, that all who ftl
visit or attempt to bring out opposing candi- |j
latest .should pay a fee, for otto insertion at jf

vould l>e paid for our trouble in providing
the vehicle for placing them before the ^

Mr. Editor, in your last issue you said *u
something about farmers and cotton buyers.
but in the 'ast paragraph y u did not, ac .
cording to my judgment, give the farmer his '''
due in saying, "We have oficn heard that l"
in farming iliere was more in I lie uian than mi1
in the land, nnd we suppose the aphorism .
bo'ds good iii the sale of farm products." J?
Now, Mr. Fd t"r, I do not mean to say |n
that you intended to do the farmer an injus- ,n
tice,* but you nrc not acoustomeil to reinng ?cotton.
nnd perhaps Jo not know tlint the
farmer is not allowed to hold his sample in *r
his own hand and make it show up as he 11
wou'd like to do. but a cotton huyer cuts his 1,1
cotton, and then handles the sample to euit
himself, often tearing it so that the next *
buyer will not better his bid. This I know ,r
bv i
"dander." but it is a fact, undeniable, that "
cotton ditl not sell according to grades this .
season as it sltou'd have done. Why is cotton
not as good from one roan's hands ?s 01
another. !*
Mr. Editor, It is a shame upon any cotton
buyer to bid on one sample of cotton twice
in one hour and pay more to the last man
that presents the cotton than ho offered to '
the fist. It cither shows that he is a sorry
judge, or that there Is injustice attached to P1
the buyer, one of tlie two things is certainly 11
so it seems to me. 1 have known cotton to *
sell 50c per lOOlbs more in tlie second man's 1
hands than the first man could get f.?r it. *
Now, sir, 1 say there is no justice in such
as that, and I think you will agree with me. S(
I will endeavor to nuswer Vox's sum :
If it will take 0 holes Ihreo and three- ai
fifths hours to empty a vessel it will take
.T24 holes to empty the same vessel in threefifteenths
of an hour. If I am not right I .
hope Vox will correct mo nnd show me 1
where I nm wrong.

*Wc contend that wc did no injustice to

to trade some," and after selling 4 bales ho
beught only 50 cents worth of goods from I
the buyer. If a man knows how toscll cotton,
lie will rot allow a litter to fear or in '
any way injure his samples. A little per- t
sistcnt pleading often brings a slight advance t
on cotton, nn<I some men have neither the
staying or p'cadirg qualities to get the j
highest price. It is no more injustice to a ,
class of citizens to say that sohic of them (
