BRIDGE AT CROWDER'S CREEK. ? ? ? aL . The bridge across Urowder's creea, od me Chester and Lenoir Railroad is finished, and trains passed over it for the first time last Monday. It was built by the Baltimore Bridge Company, and is a safe, substantial iron-span structure. RAWLINSON'S HOTEL. Mr. Wilson, the owner of the above building, is making arrangements to repair that portion of the north end, the brick wall of which, owing to defective construction, fell a few months ago. He is now engaged in procuring the necessary material, and the work ^ of reconstruction will be hastened to completion. ARRIVED~SAFELY. Mrs. Mary Zurcher, of this place, who sailed from Charleston for Switzerland, a few weeks ago, writes to her friends here that she arrived safe at Cassel, Germany, on the 13th of July, from which place she intended to start in a few days for Teufen, Switzerland, the place of her destination. She writes that her voyage was pleasant, and her health good. ACCIDENT TO LIEUT. BENNER. By the accident on the Georgia Railroad on Wednesday of last week, noticed elsewhere in this paper, Lieut. Beuner, of Company C, who, with his command, was en route for Jefferson Barracks, Indiana, had his right leg badly crushed. He writes from Atlanta to the Columbia Register that he is doing very well, but will be confined to his room for some time. THE SOUTHERN HOME. ^ The publication and future management of the Southern Home, published at Charlotte, N. C., has passed into the hands of F. Brevard Davidson, Esq., who has purchased the establishment from D. H. Hill. Gen. Hill has accepted the Presidency of the Arkansas Industrial College, located at Fayetteville, and will enter at once upon the duties of that position. MAIL FAILURES. Complaints reach us that the Enquirer of last week failed to reach Fort Mill, Rock Hill and Smith's Turnout, on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad. The packages for those offices were promptly and properly started from the office hereon Wednesday afternoon of last week, and the fault of their non-arrival is with the officials on the route between this place and the post-offices named above. We do all in our power to ensure the j?i;??,.,, nf tko T^votttrfr. and its fail pruuipii ucii tvi j v* buv ?? ure to reach our subscribers is equally as annoying to ourselves as to them. NO EXTRA COURT. The adjourned term of the Court of Common Pleas for York county, appointed to r convene on uext Tuesday, will not be held, as will he learned from the following note from Judge Mackey to the Clerk : Ohestkr, S. C., July 28, 1877. J. F. Wallack, Esq., Clerk of (he Court, Yorkville, <S*. C., Dear Sir: You wilt please give notice that the adjourned term of the Court of Common Pleas, heretofore ordered to commence August7th, 1877, will not be holden, owing to the illness or unavoidable absence of several members of the bar, who are of counsel in the causes appointed to be heard ut said term. T. J. Mackky, Circuit Judge. WHAT'S IN A NAME? Shakspeare says a rose by any other name would smell as wheat, or words liable to similar construction ; but the Barae logic will not apply to the patronymic of an individual. When a man's uarae goes in the papers, it should be correctly printed, and >bence .we i?.? ?? on or-nr which occurred in imsieu iu wuvvk ?u vfv. our acknowledgment of a sack of flour last week from the proprietor of .Laurel Mills. We printed his name as Thomasson when it should have been E. D. Thompson. Our slight error, however, does not detract from the reputatiou of Mr. Thompson's mills. THE TAXES. .. Tleasurer Robertson has been receiving taxes in Yorkville since last Thursday. Considering the scarcity of money at this season of the year, the people are paying with commendable promptness. Up to Tuesday evening thesum of $15,239.88 had been paid in. We stated last week that the amount paid up to the 25th, was about $3,300. This was erroneous. We should have said that amount bad been paid since our last report, making a total up to that date of $6,782.01. The Treasurer will receive taxes up to and including next Monday; but after that date the books will positively be closed. YOKKVILLE FEMALE INSTITUTE. We direct attention to the advertisement of the Trustees of the above institution, announ ? :? tu? ci rig the Opening ui uexi sesaiuu. hie iuou* tute will continue under the control and management of Mr. Jones, assisted by Mrs. Clara Dargan McLean, and a full complement of teachers in the different departments. As will be seen on comparison, there has been a considerable reduction made from the former charges for board and tuition, while the stan^ . dard of instruction will remain as heretofore. Under the present management the Institute offers superior facilities, and will merit a liberal patronage. ? CIIIRURGICAJL. Peter Smith, a colored man, living near Smith's Ford, on Droad river, who. has been afflicted at times with reducible hernia, had a protrusion a few days ago, which he was unable to reduce. He applied to Dr. R. R. Darwin for relief, who suspecting a strangulation, called to his assistance Dr. McCJuney. Failing in all the known methods of reduction, the two Doctors fearlessly cut down on the strangulated parts, and relieved them, thus performing a brilliant but hazardous operation with . the coolness and skill of old surgeons. The patient is reported doing well, and eight days have elapsed since the operation was performed. e TUB FENCE ELECTION. ***' The Attorney-General having been wrillen to for instructions in the matter of voting in ! the pending election on the fence question, gives the same interpretation of the act, as that contained in a paragraph hi these columns two or three weeks ago. For the information ' of .the public we quote the fjjllo^fng para- j graph from the letter of the Attorney-General: Heretofore the county was the smallest election I district, and when the township was substituted, there should have been some specific designation of who were ''the qualified electors of the township." In the absence of such specific designation, the question must be determined by the general law applicable to the elections. According to that law, no right of suffrage is acquired through property, and residence is the essential qualification. The qualified electors of a county are those who reside in the county, and by parity of reasouing the "qualified electors" of a township are those who reside in the township. I am, therefore, of opinion that none but residents of the township are eutitlod to vote in the township. Yours respectfully, Jamks Conner, Attorney General. CASE OF SHOOTING. On Thursday afternoon last, Robert Stinson, an old colored roan, came to town and surrendered himself to the Sheriff, stating that at about half past eleven o'clock on that day, he had shot, and probably fatally wounded, another colored man named Abe Moore. The affair occurred on the premises of Mr. R. Anderson Lathem, about seven miles south* west of town.. The old man;t Stfosqn; was living alone in a house on Mr. Lathem's place, aud his statement as to the origin of the difficulty leading to the shooting, is to the following effect. On Friday, the 13th instaut, he had been at the house of Mr. McKnight, repairing some chairs, for which work he received some flour., >Qn his way-home he.passed by Abe's house,"when Abe demanded to know of him if he had any money with him. He made answer that money was scarce, and pushed on as rapidly as he could, but after gaining some distance beyond Abe's house, he perceived Abe approaching the road ahead of him, having taken a nigh cut'across the field, as he thought for the purpose of intercepting and robbing tiiid. As they were approaching each other, however, a white lady rode up on horseback, and on her appearance Abe turned ko?ir at;n innlrinw wistfully, as Robert thoueht. ut?v,rv, j, ? at the bag of flour he was carrying. Robert became more alarmed at Abe's conduct, fearing violence or robbery, and walked along near the lady, trusting her presence would cause Abe to desist, if such were his intentions. He reached his house in safety, but on that night he heard a noise in his yard, as of some one molesting his chickens. He spoke to the intruder without going to the door, and told him if he did not leave, he would shoot him. He does not know who it was at his house that night, but was told next day by Isaac, who also lives on Mr. Lathem's place, that it was Abe. He had made no direct accusation against Abe, though on the day of the shootiug Abe approached his house in a threatening attitude, and asked him why he had accused him of attempting to steal his chickens. Robert replied that he had not so accused him, but that Isaac had said it was him, (Abe.) Abe remained at the gate threatening violence, when Robert ordered him to leave. He refused to go, until he obtained satisfaction, though Robert warned him against entering his gate. While Abe continued making threats, Robert told him not to enter his gate, as if he did he would shoot him. But Abe persisted in his threats, aod finally opening the gate, rushed towards Robert, who was in his house, and when Abe was within about ten feet of the door, Robert fired. The weapon used was a shot gun loaded with squirrel shot. The contents of the gun entered the right side, just below the ribs. Abe turned and ran some distance from the house and fell, when Robert immediately started to surrender himself to the authorities. Robert claims to be about 90 years old, aud his appearance certaiuly indicates that he has reached a ripe old age. He says his mother often told him that he was born about five years after the close of the .Revolutionary war. He is a mulatto, aud says his mother was a native African. He was born in Virginia, his'uwuer's plantation, he says, being on Antielam creek, but was brought to this State when quite a boy. For many years previous to emancipation he was owned by Mr. John.Walker, uear Landsford, in Ches ter county. For the past two years he has been living on Mr. Lathem's place, where the difficulty occurred. 'The wounded; man Will probably Tietoyer. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. ??An infant child of Capfc'Tsiae N.

All persons indebted to the said Bankrupt will make immediate payment to the undersigned. . J. A. MeLEAN, Assignee. August 2 31 3t ANNOUNCEMENT . OF THE YORKVILLE FEMALE INSTITUTE. re-organizing the Corps of Instructors in this Institution, the Trustees take great pleasure in saying that W'W they liave secured the services of W. JONES, A. M? Mrs. CLARA 1). McLEAN and Miss FANNIE MILLER, in the literary departments, and Miss SUE F. LOWRY, in the musical department. In recommending these teachers, for public patronage, we would say that Mr. JONES is a native of this State, a graduate from the South Carolina College, a Christian gentleman of highly cultivated talents and attainments; from choice and by profession a teacher; and brings to his assistance an experience of twenty-live years in High Schools and Colleges, in this and other States, which aptly fits him for the moral and mental culture of those entrusted to his care. No one is more eminently qualified than Mrs. McLEAN for the position which she assumes. Possessing, as she does, a mind of acknowledged ability, trained with the utmost care, imbued with the progressiveness of the age and fully appreciating the importance of female education, she Jjrings to bear upon her pupils all the happy influences which she has acquired by a long expeTience'in teaching the schools in Charleston, In this State, and also in Schools in other States. Too great importance cannot be attached to the training of little children ; and it often requires months of tedious labor for an experienced teacher to eradicate from their minds what has been ^improperly or imperfectly taught, before a propter foundation can be laid on which to build a substantial education. To avoid this difficulty, we are fortunate in being able to place Miss FANNIE MILLER in charge of the Primary Department. Her sympathies with the jmun'g soon win their affections; and when such is the case, rapid progress in learning soon follows. Miss SUE F. LOWRY has been so faithful and conscientious in the discharge of her duties, and given such entire satisfaction in her department, that it is only necessary for us to ask for her that liberal patronage which she so much deserves. In order that all may avail themselves of the benefits to be derived from this thoroughly organized and strictly disciplined school, we offer the following RATES: Roard and Tuition, Sept. 3d to Dec. 21, ?f>0 Oft Board and Tuition, Jan. 7, 1878, to June 21,. 90 00 DAY SCHOLARS.
