ACCIDENT TO A MULE.
A mule on the plantation of Mr. Joseph
Gwin, live miles west of McConnellsville, was
killed in an unusual manner on Wednesday of
last week. The mule was in charge of a negro
who was plowing in the field, and while
hitchecf to the plow became restless, reared
and fell upon the plow, one of the handles
f of which entered the animal's abdomen, mak*
intr an orifice from which the bowels protruded
/ ?o
**" and causing death in a short time. The mule
was a valuable animal, the loss of which at
this season of the year will be a serious matter
with Mr. Gwin.
BATTLE OF KING'S MOUNTAIN.
In accordance with a suggestion from our
esteemed contemporary, the Carolina Spartan,
to publish from the records of our office matters
in connection with the battle of King's
Mountain, we will, next week, publish from
our files of January, 187G,a complete sketch of
the battle, written by that close student of
Southern history, Rev. Robert Lathan. This
is the most complete, connected and satisfactory
account of the battle that has yet l>een
written, and iuPthe collation of facts, the author
devoted a great deal of time and labor,
availing himself of all the materials extant,
including Col. Tarleton's Narrative, published
in London soon after the close of the Revolution.
KING'S MOUNTAIN CENTENNIAL.
Initial proceedings looking to the centennial
celebration of the battle of King's Mountain
011 the 7th of Octolier, 1880, have been
inaugurated by the citizens of the village .of
King's Mountain, with Capt. W. T. R. Bell
f as the leader. It is proposed to make a staiul.
ing committee of arrangements equally divided
between the States of North Carolina,
** South Carolina and Georgia. The prevalent
idea is to have the military go through the
plan of the battle on the battle-field, and the
War Department be requested to furnish
troops and tents for the occasion.
In this connection we would remind the
people of York county that Friday, the 25th
of July next, is appointed as the day for a
public meeting to be held in the town of King's
Mountain for the purpose of raising a joint
committee comiiosed equally of North and
n 1 - 1 /v f?i,a
cwuin Cvaroiinians auu ucuigiaua, n/ vna.^ .??
hand all corresi>ondence and preliminary arrangements,
and who shall constitute a standing
committee for the purpose mentioned. "We
would suggest that an early day be api>ointed
t* for calling a public meeting of our citizens for
the purpose of appointing delegates to the proposed
meeting at King's Mountain.
CHESTER AND KING'S MOUNTAIN.
In a talk with a reporter for the Charlotte
Observer, the other day, Judge Mackey alluded
to the"battleof King's Mountain, preparations 1
for the centennial celebration of which have j
just begun. He referred to the great impor-1
tance of that engagement, as breaking in up-1
on a long line of British victories and infusing j
t fresh hoi>es into the American army. lie re- j
* grets that Chester county was left out of the '
account by the preliminary meeting a week or
two ago at King's Mountain in behalf of the j
coming celebration, as Capt. Lacy, the individual
who laid off the town of Chester, was
a prominent character in that battle. Judge
Mackey has in his possession the gun with 1
which Ferguson was killed at King's Mountain,
and he related a dozen interesting incidents
of the battle. He has been a close student
of the early history of the C'arolinas, and
in view of his manifestly large fund of information,
historical and traditional, with reference
to the battle the celebration of which is
to take place next year, the Observer suggests
to the management, now in time, that he he
* invited to attend that celebration as one of
the orators of the occasion.
As it is not at all too late, and as the omission
of Chester in the list of counties enumerated
at the preliminary meeting,' was doubtl
less the result of oversight, on the part of
1 those participating, we would suggest that
A
that county be included with the others
named, and that the patriotic people of Chester
be invited to participate in and aid with
their encouragement and presence the celebration
of an event in which she is as deeply interested
as her sister counties.
TARGET SHOOTING AND PRIZE DRILL.
The Jenkins Rifles celebrated the second
anniversary of their organization on Friday
last with target shooting in the day, and a
prize drill in the evening?a black plume being
the trophy for the most successful marksman,
and a white plume being the prize awarded
to the best drilled member of the company.
A Creedmoor target was used at a distance of
AAA 1 "-??? 11 * *-??? rlr* \fp
isju yarus, ana me uesi aeuio was mau^ iu..
II. H. Beard, who made 18 in a possible 25.
In the evening quite a large audience, including
a respectable number of ladies, assembled
in the Court House to witness the
prize drill. There were ten contestants, as follows
: Sergts. R. A. Parish and W. H. Herndon,
and privates John R. Ash, "VVm. Withersj)oon,
Samuel Miller, Paul McCorkle, Kirk
Lowry, Win, Allison, James Snider and H. C.
Strauss. The commands were given by Lieut.
Lindsay, and the committee of award consisted
of Gen. A. Coward, ex-Capt. J. R. Gardner
and the Captain of the company, R. II. Glenn.
After the first contest five were ruled out,
and after the second, three; which reduced the
contestants to Sergt. Parish and Mr. "VVitherspoon.
All displayed considerable proficiency
in the manual of arms; and when the number
was reduced to the two adjudged most proficient
in the squad, the contest became interesting
and highly exciting to the audience.
The prize wag awarded to Sergt. Parish, but
not until after a severely contested struggle,
reflecting no small degree of credit upon Mr.
Witherspoon, who is a younger member of the
company.
On behalf of the company, the prizes were
delivered to-the successful competitors by
Gen. Coward, who made a neat and appropriate
address, congratulating the contestants
on their skill, the' members of the company on
their proficiency, and the interest they manifest
in keeping up their organization. He was
particularly gratified at witnessing so many
present as spectators of the drill, which indicated
the deep interest our citizens feel in the
prosperity of the company. Gen. Coward
paid a fitting tribute to the valor of Sergt.
Jasper, of Revolutionary fame, in whose lion
or the first military organization of the town
was named, and closed with a high and welldeserved
enlogism of Gen. Micah Jenkins,
whose name the present company bears.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
LETTER FROM CHESTER.
Chester, S. C., Jane 10, 1879.
The general cry throughout the country is
for rain. Farms and gardens are suffering
very much for want of rain, while in the
meantime grass is growing rapidly.
Harvesting of small grain is progressing
finely and good results are realized.
Mr. J. L. Chambers had his oats thrashed
on Friday last. His crop yielded 180 bushels
from a field cf four acres. The grain is
very large and full., It is of the red rustproof
variety, and would have yielded more
but for frost and cold weather in the Spring.
The Pioneer Fire Company, of Charlotte, I
made an excursion to Winnsboro last Wednesday.
A number of persons went from this
place, and report that they had a very pleasant
time. There were ten passenger coaches
crowded with excursionists. A few of those
on board stopped over and spent the day in
Chester.
Dr. David Lyle, one of our practicing physicians,
has recently bought the "Torbit"
house and lot, on Saluda street, for which he
paid $1500.
Mr. Johu K. Colemau is remodeling the
"yellow house" on- DepOt street. When the
proposed changes are completed, the building
will be greatly improved in appearance, and
will make a desirable store-room.
The Globe Comedy Company played "Oliver
Twist" quite satisfactorily last week.
Next Thursday evening they will.present to a
Chester audience "Ten Nights in a Bar-room."
Two neat and substantial foot bridges have
been -built across the "tan-yard branches,"
under the management of Street Superintendent
Ford. The bridges are a decided improvement
and will be highly appreciated by
pedestrians whose business leads them to that
part of town.
Mr. Otto Hugle, for some time a resident
here, leaves for Rock Hill this week to engage
in the watchmaking and jewelry business.
A negro house on Mr. George Gill's place,
in this county, was destroyed by fire last week,
and three children were burnt to death with
it. The origin of the fire is not known.
On Sunday last a disgraceful row took
place at Gethsemane (colored) Baptist
Church, while the ceremony of immersing
converts was being performed. The parson
was dipped by some of the unconverted, and
all who were not Baptists were compelled to
"take to de bushes." We look for a voudoo
church next. Chester.
Williams, Birnie ?fc Co.'s Creditors.?
In response to a written call, posted on the
bulletin board of the Cotton Exchange* a
meeting of the creditors of Williams, Bimie
& Co. was held yesterday afternoon in the exchange
committee room. Between thirty and
forty firm3, representing unsecured indebted
ness aggregating $286,000, took part in the
proceedings. Mr. John L. Macauley presided.
Considerable indignation was manifest
ed in regard to the alleged intention of Mr.
Williams to repudiate the contracts on "futures"
made by Mr. Birnie in the name of the
firm, after promising creditors personally that
he would pay everything bsfore leaving New
York. Other gentlemen continued to have
faith in Mr. Williams' promises. They said
that the full extent of the indebtedness was
known to him when he made them, and he
had not yet retracted them. His return to
Charleston, they believed, was merely for the
purpose of collecting the necessary funds.
They, therefore, considered the uncomplimentary
remarks that had been indulged in gratuitous
and premature. It was agreed on all
sidcjs that Mr. Williams was legally responsible
for the acts of his partner, and, after
discussion, a committee of seven was appointed
to endeavor to secure an amicable adjustment
of the sums due, and failing in that, to
proceed against Mr. Williams to the full extent
of the law. Various amounts due the
late firm of Williams, Birnie & Co. by members
of the Exchange, will reduce the aggregate
to about $250,000.?N. Y. Times, June 4.

Musical Homes are always Happy Homes.
There are thousands of homes to-day in our
sunny Southland that would be rendered happier
by the presence of a fine now Piano or an
Organ. We want to fill such homes with instruments,
and we mean to do it if we live long

One of the methods by which we shall in due
time be represented (by our instruments) in every
Southern home of culture, is through our
Grand Introdnction Sale of Pianos and Organs,
which we inaugurated in November last, and
which is so far a magnificent success.
Ten of the largest Manufacturers in America
have authorized us to place from one to five
thousand of their instruments for introduction
and advertisement in representative Southern
homes at Agents' Wholesale Rates, and we are
now placing them in every Southern State just as
fast as steam can carry them. Such an opportunity
