tm~ We wore truly pleased to receive a
visit in our anuctum last Monday from our
esteemad young friend, W. Wallace Stobinaon,
who has just returned from Stn.tea of the
"Pacilio elope," where ho has boon for several
years. Wallnca is ono of tbo best young
men that Union over sent into tdia world,
nnd his faro bears the impress of his character.
He, however, thinks, with hosts of
others from this section who have bunted
for fortunos and better pl&cos in other f arts
of this vast country, there is no bettor pace
than thegcod old State of South Carolina.
Wallace is full of information upon the customs,
tho business, tlio advantages nn<i disadvantages
of tho great West, and has a Tory
pleasant way of imparting it. W? expect x
to henr of his being connected with an old 8
business bouse in this County.
We hare permitted Telephone end I 1

plaints made because a correspondent of a J
paper does not advertise everybody and every- ai
thing in his lucali'y in his letter to the tl
County paper. Tho etrict and proper duty
of a go?d newspaper 001 respondent is to give X
the current tuut of the week, dished up in F

Ikiiy, the Unique ?There are many kinds
of U. S. Senators and they may be enid to do
geod, bad indifferent tilings, but for pettishnrss
and childishness, South Carolina's new
Senator, J. L. M. irby, we venture to say, is
far abosd of any of them.
An Uuitrd States Senator, who will take
hit b y away from a school broause the principal
has invited a man to address the scholars

Mr. J. J. Kcmirick, of Skull Sliaals, lost
a mule last Week that wan supposed to bo
p.*d. While we sympathize with the owner
And rcgret the loss of a work animnl, at
this season of the year in particular, it
might be amus ng to some of our readers to
know how soiuo people act in the presence
I of an animal affected with madness. In
its extreme pain the sick mule went to a
field where some parties were | lowing. Impressed
with the idea that it was mad they
ths^BUpp'oVc^f"robi*I animal. In their licgira
??. *k? mules fell down and the rider
fell off. Not liaviug time to mount again
be struck his mule and made it hurry oa to
escape the danger, while he took to l?:t>
heels and left the road at right angles to
seek refuge behind the garden fence, out of
sight of the mad animal. Aoother whe
was out with his childron pushed them up a
tree aDd climbed up after Ihctn. WliiU
still another who had been watching th<
proceedings told his exoited friends that
there was no danger in the mule, and waited
until it started toward him, when he rat
ioto the houso and slamraod the door.
