In thirty-five years, the construction of ocean cables has progressed so that now six cables span the Atlantic, more than twenty connect England and the continent, and GO,000 miles of wire run along the ocean bed in other parts of the world. ? Parnell's recent declaration of the purpose of his party to effect the dissolution of the union between Ireland and England has excited the British politicians of both parties and they are unanimous in declaring that they will fight any such proposition to the bitter end. ? A naval cadet when at sea receives a salary of $250 a year. On shore duty he receives $500. Senior .Lieutenants, at sea, receive $2,400 annually for the first five years and $2,600 afterward. Junior grade Lieutenants receive $1,800 and $2,000, according to length of service, in the same way. ? At Chautauqua, the other day, Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale said that "the leadei of the choir should be as pious a man as the pastor, and should contribute as largely to the work. Neither should be jealous and both should co-operate." When a choii leader can be found who is pious and not iealous, there will be no need for churches. ? The Mississippi State Democratic Convention, recently in session, endorsed the Blair educational bill, and recommended its passage by Congress. They also recommended a pension for disabled and indigent Confederate soldiers by the State. It is to be hoped that our disabled soldiers may yet receive the justice to which they are so heartily entitled. ? The record in the Cluverius case which has just been completed will make, according to the Richmond Dispatch, four or five hundred pages in print. It includes all the evidence deemed relevant. There is no doubt that an appeal will be allowed, but argument on it will hardly be heard this side of Christmas. Cluverius still professes to believe that he will get a new trial. ? A New York telegram says that there are indisputable evidences of the increase -i of trade. Leading business men say that their correspondents from all over the South and Southwest write in the most hopeful view of the splendid crop prospect and increase in trade of all kinds. This is due not alone to the present good crop, but to general improvement ancl advancing prosperity in those sections. ? General Benjamin F.

He also asserts that he would be very unhappy to have the impression get abroad that he has any influence with the administration, because he would be "overwhelmed with requests for recommendations for this place or that," from which his mail is now almost free. ? Among the things which thirty-five years ago went to make up the crime of high treason in Italy was the possession of a Bible, which was in the list of revolutionary and forbidden books, and for a man to own it was to subject him to prison, the galleys and even to death. Now Bible depots are established in every Italian city, and itinerant venders circulate the book freely. In a conspicuous store in the C'orso, Rome, a whole window is filled with copies of the Italian version of the Scriptures. The New Testament can be purchased for five cents, and a separate gospel for two. ? Great excitement prevailed in Sturgis, Dakota, the scene of the lynching of Ross H. Hollis, the colored soldier, the assassin of Dr. Lynch, on Thursday. A number of colored soldiers of Fort Mead, members of the 25th U. S. infantry, armed themselves and proceeded to the town of Sturgis threatening to burn the place. Trouble seemed imminent, but Gen. Sturgis, commanding at Fort Mead, on being informed of the trouble, detailed a patrol from the Seventh Cavalry, which scoured the town, capturing and returning the disaffected to the post. ? Spain is about to give up one hundred I thousand of her citizens to the cholera, and France may make a similar sacrifice. In Marseilles the cholera is assuming a form with which the doctors are unable to cope. The victims die suddenly, without the occurrence of diarrhoea or vomiting. The pa* A - * -1 L!.L Urv ueni ieeis a euiuuess, which uiuuut uc tuuuteracted by the use of reactives, or even by the most violent friction. Two hours after death the body becomes black. Although the epidemic is not contagious, it is feared that one hundred deaths daily will soon be recorded. ? Says the Philadelphia Evening Star: The croakers can't get around it, try as they will. It is a fact, as definitely determined as that two and two make four, that business has commenced to improve, and is likely to keep on in that line for a long time to come. Now let every one accept the comfortable tiding and pitch in with a determination to hasten still more the good time coming. Confidence in the future of business will greatly expedite the development of this boom, and of which this double sheet issue of the Star, thus early in the fall season, is but one of the premonitory indications. ?Charles Townsend, a negro who murdered an old man named Freeman, at Madison, nine miles from Huntsville, Ala., was hanged in the county jail yard at Huntsville last Friday morning at 4.50. Townsend entered the store of Freeman on the evening of December 9,1884, and asked for a nickel's worth of peanuts. The old man stooped down to get them out of a barrel, and while in this position Townsend procured an ax, which he had in a convenient Slace, and cruelly struck him on the head, ot satisfied with this he struck him another blow, cut his thraot from ear to ear with a dull knife and then robbed him, getting only $23. Townsend's neck was broken by the drop. ? If there are any vestiges of a sectional spirit remaining in the country, says the New York Time*, they do not appear to be at the South. Some of the planks of the platform of the Mississippi Democrats have a close resemblance to those of Republican platforms of twenty years ago. They declare first of all ' fidelity to the constitution of the United .States," and demand the "protection of etpial rights for all classes," and "no discrimination on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude or birthplace." There is scarcely anything in the platform suggestive even of party differences, and the co-operation of all citizens is invited without regard to past differences. The spirit of progress is indicated in the pledge for the maintenance of free schools, the encouragement of immigration, and the demand for a "prompt, vigorous, and impartial adminstration of the criminal laws." ? Mr. Anthony M. Keily, of Virginia, was appointed by President Cleveland United States minister to Italy, but that government objected to receiving him on account of some strictures he once passed in the Virginia Legislature upon King Emanuel. He then declined that appointment in favor of the mission to Austria; but the Austrian government would not receive hiscredentials because his wife is a Jewess. Mr. Keily returned to Washington last Thursday. He says: "I am a lawyer and held that office since 1876, but when I started abroad I cut myself up root and branchresigned my position, sold my furniture and books and closed up my affairs completely.

They have an area of 1,000 square miles and contain a population of about .'10,000 people. The westernmost of the islands are divided into numerous groups, are generally flat and of a coraline formation and do not afford secure anchorage. Some of the other islands are mountainous and rich in precious metals, and still others are very fertile but are thinly populated. The climate is pleasant and the supplies of fresh water, fish and fruit are plentiful. These islands were discovered by a Spanish navigator more than three centuries ago, but have never been colonized by Spaniards. Spain, however, claims thera stoutly, and it remains to be seen what is going to be done . about the matter. Germany has seized the islands and will probably maintain the seizure. She is the stronger power, and will ' probably force the weaker to accept such . terms as she may dictate. An open rupture j is improbable, though in the event of hos! Unties- the Spanish navy, which is one of I the finest afloat, would make itself felt. jibe fotlmUe inquirer. > >1 zti X 'i YORKVILLE, S. C. : ! I THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 3, 1885. ! PENDING QUESTIONS. A special election is to be held in Richland this year, to fill vacancies in the Legis' lative delegation from that county. The 1 following communication in the Columbia Register of last Friday indicates the ehar; acter of questions which Legislative cani didates throughout the State will be called > upon to answer in the canvass next year: 1 Columbia, S. C., August 27, 1885. Editor Register: As the convention will soon meet to nominate candidates for the Legislature from this county, it seems to (me a good time to ask the opinions of the candidates on some important questions be1 before the Convention assembles, so that the ' members will know whom to support. Al1 low me to ask the the following questions 1 of the candidates: How do you stand with regard to the South Carolina College ? Are you in favor of liberal appropriations to sustain this institution? I)o you favor a , continuance of work on the Columbia Canal? Are you in favor of hiring convicts outside of the walls of the penitentiary? Are you in favor of levying additional taxes for the support of the public schools or tne State? As the Legislature may be called on for an expression of opinion on National questions in order to instruct our senators how , to vote, I would ask our candidates if they favor a modification of the tariff, and if they favor stopping the coinage of silver dollars. The answer to these questions will do much to influence the vote of ; One Delegate. THE CYCLONE IN CHARLESTON. On Tuesday of last week a severe storm raged along the Atlantic coast, extending from Jacksonville, Florida, to Wilmington, , N. C., but spending most of its fury at Charleston, where it assumed the proportions of a cyclone in the proper sense of the term, entirely different from the usual August storms or equinoctial gales. The 1 wind was twenty-five miles an hour at 1.30 | in the morning, increasing to forty and fifty miles, which was reached about 8, finally running up to seventy-five and eighty miles ? an hour. The northern edge of the cyclone touched Charleston and completed its passage in forty minutes. The streets of Charleston were not more desolate at the ; end of the bombardment during the war than they were after the ravages of this : storm. The storm commenced properly at daylight from the southeast with frequent 1 gusts. As early as G o'clock the roof of St. Michael's church >vas stripped. At 7 A. M. the apparatus on the roof of the signal office, flagstaff and weather vane, were demolished. The last observation before the climax of destruction recorded the wind G8 miles an hour. Fire bells were tolled at intervals, indicating the break in all wires. Water in the river came over the granite wall at the battery, breaking the flagstones, washing away the railings, and tons of sea water were hurled in upon the handsome residences, breaking windows and smashing doors.. At eight o'clock the slate roof of the County Court House peeled off. At 8.30 the gilt ball and weather vane which, for a century, had adorned St. Michael's steeple, a high and historic point, were blown down. The climax of the cyclone was about 8 o'clock. Everything was in ruins at the wharves, where but a single shed remained. At 9 o'clock there was a sudden lull, but soon the gale increased and continued till one o'clock, when the great storm of 1885 was over. Within comparatively a few minutes the injury to private residences was very large in the aggregate, though individual losses were comparatively small, consisting chiefly in roofs and fences. Some of the wholesale dealers, however, lose heavily by the damage to stock. The heaviest losses were along the water Iront. On Charleston's favorite promenade, East Battery, the ground floor of the residences were from three to six feet under water, and handsome gardens were covered deep with sedge. The sea rose so rapidly as to have the appearance of a tidal wave. The Neics and Courier estimates the total losses at not less than 81,000,000 to property in the city and shipping in the harbor. TIT FOR TAT. The Hon. John S. Wise, the Republican candidate lor Governor 01 \ lrginia, naving been criticised by 1). H. Chamberlain, ex-Governor of South Carolina, for having asserted that it was not Readjuster but Bernocractic legislation that was declared unconstitutional in the recent decision of the Supreme Court, undertakes to prove his I point by citing, not the decision itself, but ! the briefs of two of the counsel of the bondI holders and the syllabus of the ease of Poindexter vs. Greenhow. As the former can i hardly be considered authoritative, and ; the latter says expressly that the Readjuster ' | Act of January 20,1882, as well as the amen1 datory Act of March 13, 1884, is unconstitu' tional and void, Mr. Wise fails, it would 1 seem, to establish his case. The real interI est of the Republican candidate's reply to | "the ex-carpet-bag Governor" lies, how1 ever, in the rebuke Mr. Wise administers ' j to the latter for having for some years been ; "struggling against oblivion by keeping himself before the public as the champion ; of sundry principles and sentiments which I he was ever suspected of practicing." Mr. ; Wise suggests to him as a topic more favor' able to his object than the discussion of the j Virginia debt question, "to give us remin! iscences oi'his own carpet-bag rule in South i Carolina, where, when he finished, there : was not 'five years good stealing left,' as was elegantly and forcibly expressed by I one of his charming confreres, or let him explain how he left that State and gave Hampton the Governor's place, while Hayes took the electoral vote." Perhaps that would : ut* iiiuic in ? mi uiu miuut ui niv , contest Mr. Wise is making, and the world i certainly would like to know more of the i inside history of South Carolina politics prij or to the reform ot 1870.?Baft more Han.

AGAINST FREE TUITION. i A conference of the representatives of the * denominational colleges of this State who ( were selected by the trustees of those insti- ( tutions was held at the residence of Col. , James A. Hoyt, editor of the Baptist Cou| rier} on Thursday night. The following I gentlemen were present: For Erskine college, Prof. Hood and Representative R. R. Hemphill, editor of the j Abbeville Medium] \ Wofford college, Dr. W. W. Duncan and , Representative W. K. Blake; dewberry college, Senator J. A. Sligh [ and Prof. C. W. Welsh (deputy for Dr. G. W.Holland); Furman University, Col. J. A. Hoyt, ed- . itor of the Baptist Courier, and Major E. ! B. Murray, of the Anderson Intelligencer. ' The conference was in session about three * hours and _discussed the State college thor- * oughly. The sentiment 01 tne raemoera was finally given shape in the following which was drawn up and unanimously 1 adopted: "The members of this conference representing the several denominational colleges of South Carolina, hereby declare that we have no opposition to the existence and maintenance of the South Carolina University, and would favor any appropriate action of the board of trustees to make it a university of the highest grade. "Resolved, That we are unalterably opposed to the existing feature of free tuition which prevails in the South Carolina college, because we believe that it is wrong in principle and injurious in policy to use the taxing power of the State to afford collegiate education without charge to those who are able to pay therefor, by which the college is brought into unfair competition with the other colleges of the State on a basis other than their relative merits of excellence. "Resolved, That we favor the change of the Act regulating the tuition charges in the State university so that the minimum charge for tuition therein shall be at least fifty dollars per annum."?GreenviUe Xeics, Friday. . The Iowa Republicans.?The Iowa Republican State Convention met at Des Moines on the 2Gth ultimo and nominated Larrabee for Governor and Hull for Lieutenant Governor. The platform reeks of the bloody shirt, claiming that the Southern ex-rebels are usurping and absorbing the rights of the colored people and exerting double the influence of white men in the Northern States. They proclaim the degradation of negro labor in the South by this undue political supremacy of the whites and deplore its coincident effect in pauper - ' ?

The scheme to remove Republican office-hold- < ers under the pretext of "offensive parti- ( sanship" is condemned as disreputable. A demand is made for such a modification of the pension laws as will secure equal treatment to all persons entitled to pensions and increasing widows, pensions from $8 to $12 a month, and pay to Mexican survivors is j advocated. Ample provision is demanded ] for the protection of labor and capital and \ their varied interests, and the party is pledged to resist the the creation of a peas- , antry class on American soil. The employ- j ment of convict labor in competition with honest workers is deprecated. The Demo- . cratic policy of a tariff for revenue only is < declared against, and the extension and fos- i tering of commerce and the shipping in- , terest favored. The party pledges itself to the maintenance of the civil service law and , demands a rigid enforcement of the anti- , poligamy and liquor laws. The twelfth , plank upholds the doctrine of State regu- , lation of railroad traffic in Iowa, and Fed- ( eral regulation of inter-State commerce, the | election of Railroad Commissioners by the people, and the creation, by Congress, of a j National inter-State Commission. The . thirteenth favors State and National legisla- j tion against cattle diseases. The minority , report on the temperance question, favor- < ing local option for counties where prohibi- ? tion was not enforced, called out a spirited discussion by representatives of river towns j and interior counties. The roll of counties i was called, and the minority report lost by j a vote of 821 to 250. i A Tragedy in Texas.?A terrible trage- ; dy occurred at Johnson City, Blanco eoun- i T/ivou rvn Tuocilov nf ln?f wp#?k. A. L. Lockie, an old citizen of extensive connections, had a stepdaughter living with him < whom it is alleged he seduced several ' years ago. Lately he was charged with hav- I ing committed the same crime with his i own daughter, and this charge, which was I afterwards shown to be correct, had been ] disturbing his mind. On the day mention- 1 ed, he went home, intending, as he avowed, i to go to John Green's place to borrow a sum I of money. Green and his family were away. He entered the house and took 1 Green's Winchester rifle and returned to < the residence of his brother, Berry Lockie. . A neighbor named John Nicholson rode up just then. He forced Nicholson to go with i him to the house of a neighbor ~naraed j Stokes, where he shot and killed Stokes, i There Nicholson was lost sight of. His ? horse was tied there when found, and it is i supposed he was also killed. From there i Lockie went to his house and shot and cut i the throat of Mrs. Henry Lockie, of Blanco i county, the wife of his stepson, who was on a visit to him. He also shot and killed there Mrs. Stokes, the wife of the Stokes he had killed previously. Then he killed his daughter. He then attempted to kill his j wife, but his cartridges being exhausted he j could not fire another shot and she escaped. ( Having failed to catch and kill his wife he ( cut his own throat, mounted his horse and , started in the direction of Johnson City. , After riding a few yards he met Thomas ] Brunswick, whom he attacked and into ( whom he plunged his knife, inflicting fatal . wounds. The murderer then rode toward j Johnson City, but was arrested within two . miles of it. With the exception perhaps of j the murder and cremation of the Lynch , family near Hempstead some years ago, this is the most horrible set of crimes ever j committed in Texas. By it about twenty \ ] children are left orphans. .Soincensed were ( the people that on Wednesday night seven- , ty-tive armed men took Lockie from the jail ? and hanged him. 1 - -?*- . Imaok Breaking.?The Abbeville Mes- < xenger is the only newspaper in the State j that has expressed dissent from a recent s editorial article in the News and Courier \ demanding a general smashing of polit- j litical images. The Messenger, we are sure, < [ misapprehended the spirit and purpose of < | the article it objects to. Nobody has said ' anything to the effect that the possession of i | an honored or distinguished name or high ] | descent should be a hindrance to a man's < ! political advancement. All that is asked is ; < that such things may not be considered one < way or the other, and that every man may be judged and rewarded according to his own merits, regardless of his ancestry or ; connections. Social lines and distinctions are inevitable and wise in social life which is supposed to be arranged on a basis of congeniality. But they have properly no place in politics. The image breakers de; sire to see appointive and elective offices be| stowed only with regard to capacity, fitness and the real wishes of the people. They desire to have names, social positions, needs . ; and sentimental considerations ignored. ! They intend to have it so.?Greenville News. A Towx with Two Post-offices.?Until j j within a few months ago there were two i towns called Whitaker in this State, one in I the eastern section and one in Cleveland j county. This fact was the cause of a .coni tinual mixing up of freight and mail, and at last it was decided that one of the Whitakers had to go. It happened that though ! Cleveland county's Whitaker was in North j Carolina, the postoffice was in York county,1 South Carolina, the town being located on ! the State line, and the postoffice being on | South Carolina ground. The Legislature was petitioned and the name of Cleveland's ! Whitaker was changed to Grover, and a! postoffice called Grover established in the ; town. This new postoffice, as well as the i old one, is now in operation, and this is one j instance where a town has two postoffices. | If a citizen of Grover calls at Grover office and fails to get any mail, he can step over to Whitaker and try his luck at that office. The offices are only 200 yards distant from n each other, and the mail agents leave two t nail bags at one stoppage of the train.

Hough, Esq., ind Messrs. Moore & Moore; the State by Solicitor McDonald. Considerable time >vas consumed in hearing testimony, which ?vas very damaging in many particulars to :he defendant. The fact that he hailed Moore while on his way home and renewed a quarrel of the morning could not be lenied. His lawyers did all in their pow?r to secure bail for him, but did not sue ?eed. Judge Witherspoon refused the application for bail. John Miller, colored, of this place, was tried at the last term of the United States 2ourt at Greenville on the charge of selling intoxicating liquors without license, was found guilty, and sentenced to imprisonment in the county jail for two months ind the payment of a tine of $100. He is [low in jail. ' Our Baptist friends are looking forward with great pleasure to the dedication of their church, which will take place on the 3rd Sunday of September. The dedication sermon will be preached by Kev. I)r. Furinan of Greenville, who is regarded as one the best preachers in the State of any denomination. A protracted meeting will be held in the Baptist church beginning a few Jays before the second Sunday of September. Mr. Sanders will be assisted in the meeting by Kev. Mr. Stout, of Society Hill, who is a fine preacher, and will doubtless draw large congregations. The meeting will, in all probability, continue until ifter the dedication. The first bale of new cotton was sold at this place on Wednesday by Mr. S. M. Hafner, of Halselville, at 11 cents per pound. Mr. T. J. Cunningham sold the first bale at Blackstocks.

C., August 31.?The rain that we have been so anxiously looking for has at last come, but I am afraid too late to be of much benefit to the cotton and corn, which were badly damaged by the long drought. But the rain has certainly come in good season for sowing oats. Trial Justice Fewell has had a long rest, which was broken last week, when two small cases were up before him. One was i charge against three negro boys of stealing watermelons from Mr. F. B. Thomasson. The other case was that of a negro man charged with stealing grapes from the garden of Mr. L. 1). Childs. All were found guilty, and a fine of ?5 and costs imposed upon each, which was paid and they were discharged. Fifteen lashes each would have been a more impressive lesson. United States Commissioner C. J. Pride had three cases before him the past weekall for retailing liquor without first obtaining United States license. Simon Cooper, colored, was first arraigned. The evidence was such that he was put under a bond of ?200 to appear at the February term of the U. S. District Court at Greenville. Alexander McCollough, colored, an old offender, who has served out one or two sentences for the same offence, was also bound over in the sum of ?200. Anderson Wallace, colared, was up, charged with the same offence. He also was required to give a ?200 bond for his appearance for trial. Mr. E. 13. Rock, manager of the Western Union telegraph office at this place, whose office is in the passenger depot, had $70 worth of clothing stolen from him. He had packed away his winter clothing in trunks and placed them for safe, keeping in the baggage room adjoining his office. On last Friday he had occasion to open one of the trunks and found it empty. Upon further examination, he found that all had been robbed of their contents. Mr. W. M. Frew, of Frew Bros., left for the Northern markets to-day. The readers r)f the Enquirer will probably hear from Mr. Frew when he returns. The stock show, to be held here to-morrow, promises to be quite a success. There is a large number of thoroughbred cows and horses entered, and we expect to show some of as fine stock as there is in the State. Capt. John C.

Wooton, of the Chester & Lenoir ( Railroad, informs us that he learns from Mr. \ Obear, attorney for the road, that the case of . Mrs. Mary E. Ivirby, tried at the last term of the Superior Court of Burke county, N. C., in j which she claimed damages to the amount ot . $10,000 for injuries alleged to have been sustain- . ed by her in an accident on the road on the 29th ] of October, 1883, and which sum was awarded by , the jury, has been compromised by the payment to her of $300. j PERSONAL MENTION. 1 C.

Williams, of the Annapolis Naval Academy, is visiting his parents in this place, on leave of absence. Mr. Samuel L.

Dobson's prize drawing came off on Wednesday of last week, according to promise, and was conducted with fairness to all parties. He gives full particulars of the event in his announcement this week. Those who drew the lucky numbers have our congratulations, and especially Mr. John G. Ferguson, who drew the second prize of a gold watch. Mr. Ferguson, as foreman of the Enquikkr, has almost without interruption put in type Mr. Dobson's an nouneemenis every wees iur me i.iac iuucujcu years, and as the compositor of those silent but potent messages deserves the streak of luck which was as unexpected to him as gratifying to his friends. We were about to offer a word of condolence to the thousand and one who were disappointed; but referring to Mr. Dobson's advertisement we see he makes the statement that those who obtained no prizes have lost noth- ; ing, as they received full value for their money, and we are willing to accept his statement. THE GASTON"COUXTY SUIT. The celebrated Davenport-McKee suit, which was moved from Gaston to Cleveland county, X. C., and heard in the Superior Court of the latter county before Judge Shipp and a jury last week, was finally concluded, so far as the Superior Court can have jurisdiction, before Judge Shipp in chambers at Charlotte, last Saturday. From a summary of the proceedings as given by the Charlotte Observer, it seems that in the trial at Shelby, McKee admitted an indebtedness to Gaston county of $500, but claimed that he had paid over 81,700, and had a receipt for the same. The county treasurer alleged that this $1,700 receipt was a forgery, and this allegation gave rise to the proceedings. The jury renderen a verdict in McKee's favor, when the plaintiff, Davenport, claimed that McKee's failure to pay the balance, $500, due to Gaston, rendered the defendant liable to a fine of $2,500 according , to the Statute. This is the point argued before Judge Shipp in chambers on Saturday. After hearing argument, Judge Shipp rendered judgment in favor of the plaintiff for $500, in addition to the penalty of $2,500. All the costs in the , case were thrown on Davenport. McKee's counsel entered an apeal to the Supreme Court. TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. The first meeting, since its organization, of the j York County Teachers' Association will be held j in the building of the Yorkville Female College, ] at 10J A. M., next Saturday. It is hoped that there will be a full attendance, not only of those ] who are members, but that every teacher in the < county will attend. The meeting will be public j to all, and promises to be an interesting one. By ! the subjoined correspondence it will be seen that Capt.

( The negro's tenacity to life is proverbial, and 1 in no instance is this characteristic more strikingly exemplified than when he receives a wound J about the head. We occasionally hear of one being drowned, or bleeding to death from I ' -- i ?: ' wounds mulcted witn a razor, or uemg uuiugicw > to death by a mule, and now and then we read e of one being choked to death with a rope; but 'j when the injuries are confined to the head, death ^ rarely ensues. Cutfee's caput is as invulnera- ! c ble jus was Achilles' body. The latest example we have to sustain this | theory comes from McKenzie's mill, in the ^ north-eiustern part of the county. Three weeks j ago a number of darkeys wore at the mill, among j them John Price, who lives on Sam J. Clinton's t place. John had with him an old musket heav- i ily charged with powder and squirrel shot. His ( reckless disposition was evinced by the fact that ^ his old lire-lock was loaded, for a prudent man s would have been afraid to carry it empty. But J John nourished his old Queen-Anne musket and seemed as indifferent to danger as Napoleon at j Austerlitz. While gyrating at one time he as- c sumed a parade rest position, only he held his 1 nusket at his side, the muzzle pointing in close >roximity to his right ear. While thus staining, as the statement goes, one of his admiring ompanions ran up and playfully placed a No. 14 trogan on the hammer. The foot was too heavy o render the experiment safe, and the hammer ;ave hack, causing the hrogan to slip off, when he hammer suddenly returned with sufficient orce to discharge the gun, the contents of which vent upward with such velocity as to shatter ! fohn's head, taking nearly all of the right side, vhich fell over on one side as John's body went lown with a dull thud in the opposite direction, j Examination showed that not only was the brain jxposed, but a portion of the brain was actual- ; y in the portion of the skull shot off. Dr. T. W. Campbell was summoned, and on j lastening to the spot and viewing the 'manes, he >ronounced it a desperate ease. He said nothing ioukl be done but to replace the detached part of he head. It was impossible to use the needle, ind the only chance was to trust to nature to do he work of reuniting the severed parts. Accordingly the wound was dressed as well as circumstances would permit, and the darkey was urned over in the shade, his demise momentariy expected. But to the astonishment of all, ibout sundown he commenced to talk and asked :o bo taken home. He was taken to his house hat night, and under skillful surgical attention ind careful nursing he has been improving ever since, with indications that he will yet recover. CHURCH NOTICES.

The York Baptist Sunday-school Convention met with the Yorkville Baptist church on Friday last. The introductory sermon was p reach2d by Rev. J. K. Fant, after which the Presi3ent, Rev. J. A. White, called the Convention :o order, and reports from the various Sundayschools composing the Convention were read. These reports showed a marked increase of interest in the work, as evidenced by the contributions to the cause and the large average attendince. After the reading of the reports, subjects pertaining to the Sunday-school cause, and church work generally were discussed. The discussions were able, earnest and instructive, and elicited much interest from the delegates representing the various schools. The question of employing a missionary within the bounds of the Association was also discussed. The pressing demand for this work was urged before the Convention by Revs. J. E. Covington, J. K. Fant and J. A. White, who were followed by Rev. Dr. Griflith, of Greenville, who pointed out the best manner by which the desired object may be attained. As the Convention has no power further than that of having the question brought up before the churches of the Association, with a request that they report their inclination to the executive board, the subject was continued for definite action by the Association, at its regular meeting in October next. The delegates present contributed about $60 for the purpose of having the destitute field occupied, and from the interest manifested, there is no doubt but the field will be occupied at an early day. On Sunday morning the Convention held a mass meeting, when addresses in the interest of Sunday-schools were delivered by Rev. J. A. White and Prof. E. Ii. George, of Black's Station. After the addresses the Convention took a recess. After the recess, Rev. Dr. R. H. Griffith, Corresponding Secretary of the State Board of Missions, preached an able and instructive sermon, founded on the first clause of the 5th verse nf thfi sixth chanter of Matthew's cosnel: "Thy kingdom come." After the sermon an appeal was made for pecuniary aid in behalf of State missions. A collection was taken up, which produced the sum of *32.90. Mr. Samuel X. Johnson, the treasurer of the Convention, submitted a report of receipts from the Sunday-schools composing the Convention, as follows: Antioch, 8 1 ">0 Berea, 2 00 Enon, 1 00 Union 7 30 Yorkville, 10 00 Collections to-day, 32 90 To till, $54 70 At the request of the donors, the contributions were distributed as follows: The amounts from Antioch, Berea, and the collection taken up in the Convention were given to State missions ; the Yorkville contribution was given equally to the Mary Harley and Valence Street, X. O., missions ; the Enon contribution was given to the Valence Street mission, of Xew Orleans, and the Union contribution was given to the Mary Harley missionary fund. Representatives of the Rock Hill Sundayschool presented their credentials, when, on motion, they were elected members of the Convention. The Convention then adjourned to meet with Berea church, Black's Station, on Friday before the fifth Sunday of Xovember next. ????* SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. ? "It is an ill wind that blows nobody ?ood."

The Columbia Record tells of two convicts who recently escaped from the Twiggs :amp in Abbeville. One of them has tumid up at the penitentiary, where he has hree years to serve, and reported for duty, laving passed through Laurens county j ,vhere his home was. He says the man who . iscaped with him will be in in a few days. Phey simply decided that they would rath;r work in the penitentiary than on the ! ail road. ? Says the Barnwell Sentinel: "Mr. Jer-j /ey, the new collector of the port at Charles-1 on, commands the admiration of the peo- j lie of the State by requesting his bonds-1 nen to appoint a committee, who are to be mknown to him and who shall select per-, ons to be appointed to places in the Custom | rlouse. This is a new departure, and one | vhich is as fair and impartial as any officer | lould devise." ? Aliss Lizzie Camp, who has charge of he office at Campton, Spartanburg county, vas notified by the Post Office Department n 1879 that her office was in arrears 828.

A few i lays ago Miss Camp was notified that there 1 vas 820 to her credit at the Department? I he had been assessed that amount for cam- j laign purposes. ? While ltev. Vashtine Ilerlong was ireaching at Bethany Church, Edgefield :ounty, on the 19th ult., a dog that hadfolowed its owner took a fit in church. The congregation concluded at once the dog was mad; and the death from hydrophobia in the neighborhood a few days before only made them the more frantic. Women screamed, and men and women climbed on and over benches with an agility that was astonishing. The preacher called out from the pulpit: "Won't somebody give me a pistol? Won't somebody give me a pistol?" But no pistol was produced?although it was in Edgefield county. A gentleman in the congregation had a pistol, but would not produce it, for fear some good brother might have him up for carry- , ing concealed weapons. Partial order was finally restored and the preacher concluded his sermon to a demoralized congregation. ? Says an Edgefield correspondent of the News and Courier: "Notwithstanding the 1 ?;(f0n r.f ?n IUU!)l llittlClliig (I1.1.UU11V fji '<-u w. ant yield of cotton throughout the entire State, yet the farmers of Edgefield county are complaining of the destructive effects of the present drought. Some of our most intelligent farmers say that their crop has been cut off from 25 to 33$ per cent. The squares and even the young bolls are drying up and falling off. Even rain now would do old cotton little good, as the new forms would not have time to mature." ? Butler Jones, alias Bill Boyd, colored, was arrested on Sunday six.miles east of Liberty station, Greenville county, by Samuel M. Sitton, of Brushy Creek township, Anderson county. Jones is wanted in Abbeville county for the murder of Moses Boyd, colored, and a reward of $150 was offered by the Governor for his arrest and delivery to the Sheriff of Abbeville. He acknowledged his identy and confessed his crime to his captors. He was taken to Abbeville on Monday. ? Sumter Watchman, August 30: For the * last two weeks we have been hoping against hope that the bad news from the cotton crop would change, but if there has been any change, it is for the worse. Many farmers estimate their crop at from 50 to 60s Eer cent, of what might reasonably have een expected from its appearance the 1st of July. This is a heavy blow to our hopes, but it might have been worse. The sea?2r>n.s hnon romarL-dhlu finp fnr mm. and should the seasons be favorable for the next month we may reasonably look for fine crops of peas and potatoes. From Wedgefield and vicinity come dire accounts of the ravages of the caterpillar. A fresh army commenced on Mr. Aycock's farm yesterday, and at last accounts they were sweeping everything before them, and the stalks with the grown bolls stand out as naked as trees in midwinter. A gentleman who witnessed the damage in some fields puts the loss resulting from the worms at 50 per cent, of the crops. The Storm in the Lower Country.? It is always unsafe to predict, or in other words, to count your chickens before they are hatched. Up to a few days ago glowing accounts were received from all portions of the State regarding the crops. It is to be regretted that the same cannot be said to-day. In the lower country the cotton and corn crops have been badly damaged by the storm and in some sections fully two-thirds will be lost. The loss falls particularly hard upon individual planters who were struggling to make up for the loss caused by previous short crops. Last season the rice planters on Cooper River had nearly every thing swept away from them by a freshetone plantation alone suffering a loss of $1(T,000. The injury to the crops at this time is probably the most serious disaster that has been caused by the storm.?Columbia Itecord. Utarfirf Sports. YORKVILLE, September 2.?Cotton 9 to 9j}. ,?
