Wo believe tlie above epithet found its origin in tins Slate and was applied by ilie pretentious Carolinians to the natives of North Carolina, because of their traffic in turpentine. At first it meant no disrespect to tbc person himself, but finally became nn appropriate sneer for tho people of this State to apply to the one horse itinerant tobacco peddlers of the old North Slate who would oitch up a plug of tobaccoJicrc ami there around their homes (if they had any) and with it perambulate through every nook and corner of the Palmetto land. But be it understood that we do not pretend to say that every peddler of tobacco is a in can man. Or. the contrary, some of them are good and true men. The peddlers we have refcrenco to arc the few who cheated their employers and had to quit their country for their country's good. This claps love money, have sonic energy, which comes on them in spasmodic fits, will fool the unwary, and defraud an honest and unsuspecting creditor at the first moment nnd cpj oitunity is afforded, and then go into bankruptcy and come out with some money and good cloths on himself and finiily. This done home then becomes too Lot for them. They usually have wives lftcrtheir own hearts, thoroughly aconnin- - ted with their ways that arc dark an I trickB that aro vain, and n stauqede into mother State is usually agreed upon . The cars arc boarded, the people ring hells and sing Ecngs of rejoicing at the riddance of so pestiferous a set of human creatures, while the pilgrims to South Carolina, unmindful of what's nolng on without, join in one grand strain and sing?"Wears bound for Caiman's.happy hind." When the whistle blows, and the train starts, the madam (no longer the gin feeder and bankrupt' s wife) puts on an air of nssinnod importance, and when the conductor comas through sho throws her head to one side an I says "Oh my! I am nearly worn out. This truveiling is so irksome, llow far is it Mr. Conductor to- ttulion ?" The shrewd conductor, understanding banian naturo, and determined not to be iuipo sed upon says in no inillitluous tone, "Madam wc arc not eight miles from where you boarded tho cars. Your fair if you please." This is bluff No. 1. When the conductor returns to his office he swallows a glass of N. C. C, und solilloquiscs to himself thusly : ' Either some people take me for a fool or I take ? hem as such." Hut to hurry on. Muff No. 2. , was given by n news boy. lie was pos.sing through the cars selling illustrated papers, such as Harpers, the Police Gazette Days Doings Sc., whan upon reaching our newly niado madam of all knowlodgo, she ac c osted him with the inelegant salutation "Say come h-c-r-eboy. Of course the youth ever anxious to strike a bargain went as he was called. After looking over his supply madam said is this all you have. "No mam was tho reply. Well bring the balance. No tooncr Bold than he darted ofl"through the cor, opined his box, snatched up tue rcmuiiidcr of his books mid papers aud, with aims full, returned to madam. An hour was Bpout now in looking ovor his supply and no selections made. I! is patience ex hausted he said, "Mam do you intend to buy any thing or no ?" "I c-a n-t sec what I w a-n-t" said madam, "1 thought you had some, ladies patterns for drassj.i, basques, huts fee." Mud as the devil, up to this time tho ucoommodiitiug boy grabbed up his things, turned ubruptiy off with the sar casm?"You must take mc lor u mh.i.icr." Hero madam opened h?r eyes and wondered if ho knew that sho had bocn a milliner. This was a swinger. Hero tho car roared. In our opinion it was time. The next stoti on gjaincd, tho' bnggngo had to bo changed. I Now thought madam was tho time to majke a display. Husband must Htand aside (I (forgot to say that ho was ken pooked) nyui she must attend to reohcoking the baggojgo (.') trunks and 1 box for a fani ly of 8).' Boldly sho confronted the bi.g gage-mastcr and heroically did sho demand tho instant transfer of her baggngc. "He careful with that trunk said madam "for it has valuables in it." "Why didn't you send it by express then," a blunt son of Erin muttered to himsslf. Tho terrible work, however, of transforiug and rcchccking tlie trunks was at. last gotten through with, and madam took a seat in another train with her lord and family: "I'm so tired" <eho said. "7'finn hands givo mo so much trouble. Thry aro a stupid set of folders." Just at this time a son of Erin came through the car und with a withering look of "disdain J-nd contempt at the madam passed ou and said "You're a brick old wo man.*' Madam's lord had sat mute all this time, but thought it Would not hurt him iG-_?0 Toward and take a smoke. Here ho met the conductor and (ho baggage-master, the la ttcr of wlu m said to him "old man is that your wife back there ?" ??Yes," was the rejoinder. "If you please then attend to your own baggago nt tho next station." Husband eyed the brawucy limbs of his in terrogntor and with a compromising smile. "Now I always let the old woman have her way in such HlUoJ things, and coaie lot's take a driuk of good old mountain dew." "Well,'' said Paddy, you can, do as you please, but be-jabers if sho was mine nor lhar's a devil if I didn't stop her. Such little things lade to bigger ones by jolly." The next station gained, Madam was tit her post, checks in hm'! and demanded bag gage. "Madam" said the Irishman, havn't 3'ou a husband on board who could at tend to this?" "I Lave one,'' said madam "bat whenever I want any tiling done right I never liust it in his hands, especially when he has c bottle along. He ain't much ac count no how."

The orimo was committed on the in irgin of wo ?Is n J.ir t he town, while the girl was proeeo ling on an errand for her mother. Groves wm lying in ambush at tho time, ami suddenly assaulted his victim. When the story w is made known throughout tho village tho greatest excitement prevailed. A crow 1 of twenty-five men gathered and decided up on seeking out droves and giving him summary justice. They proceeded in a holy up th o mountain near the town and captured him in ihe woods. They then took him down into a deep depression betwocn two of the loftly hills. In that lonely valo, by the light of the moon struggling through a heavy mi?t, the infuriated miners executed tho sentence they pronounced against him, which was that he should die. Ilii eyes were bandaged, and his hands bound behind him, and then he was hange 1 to the limb of a chestnut tree, and left there until he was dead. He was afterwards buried near the hut, where he had lived for years. The out rage on the Davis girl was not Grove's first crime of thut nature. The commission ot farce similar outrages was said at his do< r by general belief, whhdi had m t lo him a terror to all women and children.
