T-i O C AL: J. FELDER MEYERS, Assistant Editor. SATURDAY, JAN. 2, 1875. Senator Andrew? und Hum bert. Wo happen to know something more about that tcrriblo blast which appeared in tho Neica and Courier of Monday lust as reforing to Scontor Andrews, than many of thoso who regard what it contains as being tho truth. Wo know something of tho influences brought about to get that confession manu factured. Wo happen to be in possession of information sufficient to warrant us in saying to Sonn tor Andrews' friends, "Ho cool." Ho is as calm as the waters of t c sea when at rest, and as djfl.aut of his ene mies as one girded around with the armor of innocence can be. \Yo say again to his friends, "Keen cool." Tho Weios and ^Courier has got all it wanted out of II.Hu bert, and Humbert has tried to do a man who lias endecvcrol to help litn nil the injury in his power. The proofs ! tho proofs ! ! are what wo Avant now, and that is just what Senator Andrews hns got. And they are such a<? ?will not lie. Rut they nrc not of the char acter that Senator Andrews' enemies would lik?! them to bo. It was his intention to make n full and complete answer to the chnrges made by Humbert against him, but ns he hns been legally advised not to-do si, and ns ho.designs to court, nay, dein in I a full investigation at this Term of the Court, tho public will get no answer from him just now. Cows take up tho side-walks uow. The Bci.ool house near the Lutheran church is a hnndsomc building. The Dar of Charleston aro satis lei with the election of Judge Reed. The weather for the past wrek has been *" unsteady na tho worst of Eve's daughters. 'J hey want Rranulivillo for a oo i ry s? it now. Next. 1 huiith.y liiid I ridny were real Old win ter days nnd yc local was itching to Uk< .1 !.;,..< 1 t'luislrans was a gala dny here. We don't liove it was over enjoyed any better by people generally. His Honor, Judge Thompson II. Cookoj was in Town on Monday last. He SJCiued tobe enjoying first rate hcal.h. Now's a ge.oil time for ducks, Gco. Reli ve r went the other evening nnd fell off n [og nnd got wet. He will stay home hcrc |cr. ????????? ? m ? ? residence of J. P. JInys caught o" Till nTtlpTTs-^a^^?lmMmV^tUlJjaMs^fi tcrfcrcnce, probably would have been burnt down. Cotton has not been coming in during the fmst week as much so a'f> previously. Tho inclemency of tho weather, we presume, was the cause. Mr. C. S. Bull'b letter with our comments thorcen in rolntion to the rccont violation of the enforcement act in this county havo been copied lnrgcly. Some mischievous wretch Bent our popu lar clerk of tin Court a tiny doll baby for a Christmas present. It was porfectly nudo and G. 11. blunhod. A passenger on the train tho other dajr, observing our new depot, said to h'o follow travollor, "Thcr<? must be a town about here eomcwhere." So much for appoaranocs. Thoso who don't believe that Mr. Raus dale has a fine segnr for fivo cents can get such information, as will convince them of tho fact, by applying to Mr. Addio Ransdale at his store. Governor Chamber lain mado a first-rate (appointment when ho gavo tho position of Trial Justico for this county to our neighbor ?of tho Free Citizen, Mr. E. A. Webster. If ho makes as good officer as ho does editor, our community will be benefited by his ap pointment. STRAUS k STREET?] Contemplating nn increase of business, have decided to put up a rice mill of larger feApaoity. Their present ono is in excellent trim, and pounds one hundred and twenty bushels of rioe per day. As tkey design putting up a larger establishment, their 'present one can be purchased by any one An need of a rioo mill, nnd a bargain cm be yid by applying to them. They will sell for ^prico. Several young men started from this placo on Christmas day, in a vragou drawn by two mouse-colored mules, for tho pur poBO of taking a hunt "over tho river some where. ". What befell them, wo shall tell in some fuluro issue of tho News. They had no coffee-pot nlong.. Thcro nro somo veful stories out about Fry's Island and Dick. Dr. J.C Wnnunmnker, the intelligent and popular young druggist of our Town con templates forming a copartnership with Dr. Oliveros. These two ooaiblnod, to wit: Dr. Olivoros and Dr. Wannaiunker, will put up prescriptions that will cure (ho most stubborn ailment*. Wo cxtcrnl to both those Doctors tho compliments of the season. OMITTED ON ACCOUNT OF NEW TEA li? The annual statement of the Board of County Commissioners, for the year 1S74, is before US, but owing to the press of other matter, and it being the new year,of 1873, we h?yu to omit j ublishing the same until next ?..eck. Tiic report speaks well for the re tired Boaid of County Commissioners. If we remember aright, there is an Ordin ance of tho Town making it puulshablo with a fine ui on any one who allows his horso or mulo to occupy, for an hoar or so, n whole side walk. It is a dangerous practice, and puts pedestrians to a great deal of incon venience. 'Twere better to have no si le t walks at nil, if, on busy days, the hind feet of a mule or horso are to render them im passable, save at the risk of life. THE ? NE W S TU EE T? A number of our citizens nie eternally nt us to 4*go for that new street." Wo tell them that our compliance with their re quest wont accomplish what they want. It is the Town Council ih ey should ask to "go for tho new street." Then they will have it, ami not until then. Come, City Fathers, givo us more room to walk an I ride i n. There are some fast horses in Oraagjburg, and they should have more than one street to show their stiee I in. Mr. J. W. Mosel ey will accept the thanks of tho Nr.ws for favors. The year of our Lord inic thousand eight bundled and seventy-four is gone, but the liberality of our friend Moseloy still ?ourisheth like a green bay tree. With new hopes an I new resolves lib starts with the new year to keap up his reputation as nn honest and enter prising merchant. Iiis euitonnr.s swear by him, and the wish of tli3 Nr.ws is that when this year shall have pissod th.it the store, of Mosel ey fi Copes will he iiuira popular than to-day. lie hui the best bran !y in the world, says our neighbor. H\1 /. L A CE CA NNO ,V? Determined to muko a g^io I beginning on New Year's day, opened another store on yesterday. Ho will run hereafter, in con junction with his popular grocery and liquor ostahliirtS^i 'llmm" fancy shop next door where fh"e accommodating Charlie Hall will stay.

S TOR E DUE.I NINO? Ou Christinas night while Mayor Mosoloy was onjoying his Havana, and talking over the good old days gone by, an inquisitive personage, burgluriously inclined, entered through the back window of his st oro (sit uated on tho corner of Market and R?ssel Streets) and spirited nway an unknown amount of clothing and shoes. Tho thief cutaway half of a window sash, then bont one of the iron bars sufficient'y to get the bottom end out of tho sill w hich he'd it. This done, by slightly ben ling tin ono next to it, a place was m ido largo enough for a ninn to enter. Mr. Moseley does not know exuctly w hat all was taken, but is satistio I that the thief helped himself. TRIAL JUSTICES?
