Lee an eventful occasion and a grand programme had been laid out for the inauguration ceremonies, but in deference to his wish he will be installed in the executive mansion with as little ceremony as possible, and he will simply take the formal oath of office. ? A woman who sued prominent citizens i of San Antonio, Texas, for $200,000 damages ! for the lynching of her husband, discovered by the trial, which terminatsd a few days ago, that she had never been his law-, ful wife and hence could not recover a cent.

H. A. Reland, of Noxubee county, Mississippi, had his arm cut by a gin, and had some skin from the arm of a Mrs. Holland grafted over the wound. Both Reland and Mrs. Holland have since died from the effect of the operation, and the doctor who performed the operation is now in a critical condition. It is supposed that the knife used by the doctor had been used in dissecting. ? The business failures occurring throughout the country for the week ending last Friday as reported to R. G. Dun & Co.'s mercantile agency, number for the United States 212 and Canada 28?a total of 240 against 223 the preceding week. The increase observable in the last two weeks arises principally in the Western and Pacific States and Canada. ^A. dispatch from Dallas, Texas, says emigration wagons are now steadily pouring over every main road leading west. It is estimated that 10,000 people have crossed the Central track in the last three months. They are from beyond the Mississippi, from Arkansas and Missouri generally with a goodly number from Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. In addition to those in wagons, everv passenger train averages one full coach of emigrants going to the middle and , western counties of Texas. /?Another hegira of Southern converts to V Mormonism took place from Chattanooga, Tennessee, last week. The converts gathered there from Georgia, Alabama, Southern Virginia, North Carolina and East Tennessee. The party numbered about one hundred.and left in charge of Elder John Morgan, who has charge of the Southern headquarters. The converts are representatives of the poorest and most ignorant class of people. ?Several years ago a joint stock company was organized principally in Baltimore and Philadelphia to mine for copper at Ore Knob, in Ashe county, N. C. A similar company was organized to mine for copper in Watauga county. The heavy cost of mining together with the low price of metal, has caused the suspension of both enterprises after losing $1,500,000 at Ore Knob and $500,000 in Watauga. ? From the Charlotte Observer we have the particulars of an accident that occurred near Matthew's Station, on the Carolina Central last Thursday. Five men who were digging dirt at an embankment were suddenly buried by the caving of the embankment. A force of men, by hard work, soon disentombed the buried men while they still breathed. Two of the number were seriously hurt, but the other three were uninjured. ^/A large crowd, including seven amateur photographers with cameras, attended the whipping at New Castle, N. J., last Saturday. William Turner, for the larceny of a watch, took five lashes, Alexander H. Fields, charged with larceny, ten lashes, John Manlove and William H. Morris, colored burglars, stood an hour in the pillory and received twenty lashes each. After the whippings a New York newspaper man present bought of the sheriff the "cat" ?^with which the lashes had been administer^\Alf Little, called "the Breathitt county ' desperado," has been sentenced in the United States Court at Louisville, Ky., to sixteen years in the penitentiary on the charge of forging pension papers and Postoffice orders. Little is now 45 years old and is credited with the murder of fourteen men. Before he reached the years of manhood he killed one of his playmates. Later he murdered three brothers. Once when passing a sick man's house he entered the sick chamber, dragged the invalid out of bed, and kicked him to death. A year or two ago the militia had to be ordered out to suppress Little. ? James Dempsey reached Helena, Montana, last Thursday from the Fort Maginnis country and tells a terrible tale about two of his companions being devoured by wolves while on their way across the mountains. Dempsey says that himself, John Hoag and Jacob Scheller were prospecting on the Blue Ridge Mountains wnen a pack of wolves attacked them. He succeeded in getting away, and climbed a tree ten yards from where his companions were, and saw them torn to pieces and devoured by the animals. Dempsey says Hoag was a resident of Cleveland, Ohio, and that Scheller had lived for some time in Lafayette, Ind. His story is generally believed at Helena, as it is told in a straightforward manner, and the locations are correct. ? James Fauntlercy a well known young man of Smythe county, Va., was walking with Miss Mollie Downes, to whom he was engaged,last week. Pierre Dugan. a reject ed suitor of the girl, met them and began to reproach her. Fauntleroy knocked l)ugan over the edge of.a cliff, causing injuries which may result in death. Fauntieroy was locked up in jail. By the Virginia law a wife cannot be compelled to testify against her husband. Miss Downes was the only witness and on Friday night she drove with her brother to the jail, and by standing on the shoulders of the brother, who stood in the carriage, reached the window of Fauntleroy's cell. Fauntleroy stood on a chair inside and also reached the window and a justice of the peace married them then and there. ? Daniel-Wilkinson was hanged at Thomaston, Maine, last Friday, for the murder of Officer William Lawrence, whom he shot when Lawrence attempted to arrest him for burglary. Wilkinson is not his name, but that is the one under which he has been tried and convicted, and he refused to reveal his correct name. He walked to the scaffold with a firm step and stood upon the drop without a tremor. He was clad in black and his arms were bound to his side. As the noose was being adjusted he said to the Sheriff, "You fellows get fifty dollars a day for such work." He had nothing further to say, but listened attentively to the service for the dying. At just 12o'clock the trap was sprung and he fell a distance of seven feet, dying without struggle. ? The citizens of Helena, Arkansas, were , aroused at an early hour last Thursday morning by what many of them at first thought a very heavy rain storm, but on lookiner out thev were surprised to see a cleilr sky filled with what appeared to be snow flakes, and not rain, that was pattering with such force against the roofs and windows of their houses. Investigation V proved that the air was filled with grasshoppers. Citizens who have seen the dreaded pests sweep down and consume whole fields in Kansas say that in numbers the visitation Thursday morning exceeds any- j thing ever seen in that country tenfold, j They were passing from east to west, i Great numbers of them were disabled by , hitting against buildings and other obstructions, as they were flying very low, and porters and clerks had to shovel them from the sidewalks into the streets. They are ; the genuine Kansas grasshoppers. ? Harrison Wagner, who claims to be ai citizen of North Carolina, has instituted in the Superior Court of Mecklenburg county, suits against the Adams Express Company aggregating$1,142,949. The Observer says: "Mr. Wagner, we are told, is a native of this State, and through magistrates' courts ! at various places has secured 11,453 judg-, ments against the Adams Express Compa-i ny, and these classified and bunchedt together make up the hill of complaint filed in this city. Tl^p entry on the face of the document reads: "Harrison Wagner, versus Adams Express Company," and in the succeeding entry it is set forth that the plaintiff claims that the defendant is indebted to said plaintiff in the sum of $1,142,949.90 which is evidenced by 18,123 small judgments of $99.30 each, and 3,320 small judgments of $101.30 each. Following come each of these judgments on printed slips, each one duly labeled and pasted on the pages of the document. The judgments fail to throw any light upon the matter in controversy, but simply state that before such and such a magistrate, the suit between the plaintiff and defendant, company named, judgment was rendered in favor of the plaintiff."

The National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry, in session last week in Boston, adopted resolutions recommending that officers and members of subordinate granges make their instruction and principles a matter of special and careful study; that above all party considerations stands the American government, and pledging the order to defend law and order everywhere, | deploring the attacks on the private character of candidates for official position; recommending biennial State elections; opposing the creation of all unjust monopolies by force of law ; recognizing the equality of the two sexes and hailing with delight any advancement of the legal status of woman; urging farmers to united and determined efforts in protecting their interests through the ballot, and favoring the promotion of the office of Commissioner of Agriculture to a Cabinet position. THE EDGEFIE1) LYNCHERS. In the Edgefield Court of Sessions, last week, the thirty-one alleged lynchers of O. T. Culbreath were arraigned, when, on representations of counsel for the accused it became manifest to the presiding Judge (Hudson) that the interest of all parties would be best subserved by ordering a continuance, which he did, admitting each of the prisoners to bail in a bond of $2,500, which was promptly furnished, and the I prisoners were released on Thursday night. Of the turn which this celebrated case has taken, Mr. Orchard, of the Columbia Register staff, who was an eye-witness of the proceedings, writes to his paper: j The wholesale release of the reputed lynchers was the occasion for general rejoicing in the villacrp and the event was eele brated in the genuine Edgefield style, only the killing feature wasomitted. Unlimited quantities of fiery whisky was drunk and the revelries were kept up till daybreak. Strange to say, no casualties happened. Some of the best and wisest citizens of the country deprecate the turn the case has taken, while nine-tenths of the people rejoice that it has come to a close in this way. A few hot-headed and inconsiderate persons condemn Judge Hudson for allowing bail; but this is all wrong, for he is unquestionably one of the ablest, most conscientious and careful judges in South Carolina. My opinion is, notwithstanding the fact that the prosecuting attorneys profess a determination to press the trial to a conclusion and ultimately secure a conviction, that the case will never be heard of again. Judge Hudson had most potential reasons for granting a continuance, and he was in right bound to allow bail. If he had refused bail the prisoners would have taken leg bail, which is not surprising, considering how lax was the serveillance of the jailor and bailiffs. Well, the case is ended, and it is not my province to comment further upon it. THE ATLANTA ELECTION. On yesterday closed the most remarkable local contest ever carried on in any Southern city, when Atlanta, Ga., decided by ballot whether the sale of liquor shall be prohibited within the limits of the city or not. For ten years a temperance agitation Kaam f*r% Arl An in fiarwcri o hoc lino uctu tauiLu uu iu ? ??VII so far succeeded that now out of 137 counties of the State the sale of liquor is allowed in 15. These 15 counties are the seats of large cities where the liquor element has large property interests at stake. The principle by which the agitation was carried on is known as that of "local option." It has been broached in each community as a moral and police measure, thus meeting the support of both political parties, both colors and the entire moral element of society. It was not until this movement reached the large cities, where large property interests were at stake, that any serious opposition was met. These local option elections were held under special Acts of the Legislature. The business interests of large cities were always strongenough to prevent the passage of such local option Act so f;ir as they themselves were concerned. Hence the Legislature passed a general local option bill, under which ordinaries of counties were required to order an election upon the petition of a given number of citizens. The first city to which this was applied was Atlanta. An election on the question was ordered by Ordinary Calhoun on the petition of 2,800 voters to take place November 25. Then began the canvass, which has since developed the most remarkable features. The highest vote ever cast, even in a Presidential year was a little over five thousand. The registration in this election has run up to nine thousand. The Prohibitionists organized a strong committee backed by nearly all the preachers in the city, with Senator Colquitt, District Attorney B. II. mil ana other prominent men actively at work. The brunt of the battle, however, has fallen upon the shoulders of the Rev. J. B. Hawthorne, the celebrated Baptist preacher. The Itev. Sam Jones, Col. Sam Small,Rev. Atticus G.Haygood, Rev. \V. H. Felton and others, have for ten days been addressing audiences of from five to eight thousand in the "Sam Jones' gospel tent." The anti-Prohibitionists have been equally active, being led by Julius Brown, a son of Senator Brown, Hon. Albert Cox and many others. They have been particularly active in committee work. The most remarkable feature of the campaign has been the breaking up of the party and color lines. The meetings of both parties were attended by white and black, and earnest efforts were made by both sides to capture the colored voters. For this purpose not onlv did speakers of both sides address large bodies of colored men, but they have imported prominent colored speakers, such as Bishop Campbell, of Philadelphia, Pa., Bishop Turner and Ex-Congressman Jeff Long. The ladies also took up the contest with vigor. In a word, every element of society, all ages, sexes and colors, were stirred up and nothing else was talked of but prohibition. The result of the election is not yet known here, but the general feeling is that if Atlanta goes dry, the movement will spread rapidly throughout the Southern States. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer, j LETTER FROM ROCK HILL. | Rock Hill, S. C., November 23.?The | committee, consistingof Messrs. B. H. Mas-1 j sey, A. H. White and F. H. Brown, ap- j 1 pointed by the Commissioner of Agricul- j ! ture to select a farmer to experiment in the culture of tobacco in York county, met at this place on Saturday afternoon. The fol- J lowing persons made application for the position : IL. C. Wilborn, S. A. Fewell, Mr. Glasscock, Dr. J. E. Massey, Dr. E. T. Avery and Robert Morrison. All being good and successful farmers, the committee was at a loss to decide which would be the i most appropriate, and at last adopted tne plan or placing the seven names in a hat and drawing i'rom them one, who should be declared the selection of the committee. This resulted in the selection of Dr. E. T. Avery, of Ebenezer?a capital choice, as he is one of the most progressive farmers in York county. It is to be hoped that this experimental crop will prove a success in York county; and your correspondent would adviseevery farmer in York to plant a small quantity, and by this means each one can ascertain whether or not his land is adapted to the culture of tobacco. The hot supper given by the ladies of Rock Hill on Friday night, in aid of the Library, was quite a success financially, the receipts being over $60. ^Representatives W. B. Wilson, Jr., and C. Witherspoon left to-day for Columbia to attend the meeting of the Legislature, which convenes to-morrow. Thursday being thanksgiving day, business of all kinds will be suspended in Rock Hill, and every man and boy who can borrow a gun will (instead of going to church) go hunting. Union services will be held on that day at the Baptist church, Rev. J. B. Traywick, of the M. E. Church, preaching the sermon. The Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church is still in session at this place, Bishop J. J. Moore presiding. On yester aay ne preacnea 10 me coiureu jieupie m their church. The building is a large one, hut the number who attended could not obtain admission. The number of colored people in attendance was estimated at over 2,000. On last night the Bishop held special services for the whites in Roddey's Hall. Pie took as his text a part of Isaiah, 9th chapter, (>th verse: "And His name shall be called wonderful." The hall was filled, and the colored minister delivered a most excellent and learned discourse, which was listened to with marked attention. During the Bishop's visit to this place he had the pleasure of meeting his sister from whom he had been separated for sixty-two years. Bishop Moore was born a slave, in Virginia, in 1815, his name being Benjamin Clawson, and was owned by Dr. Jacob H. Clawson, the father of Dr. Charles L. Clawson, who now resides in Chester, S. C. The Bishop has been free ever since he was six years of age. His father and mother lived in Virginia. Plis mother wasafree woman, but was kidnapped and sold to Mr. Clawson when she was sixteen years of age. A few Quakers who lived in the neighborhood became interested in the woman's story of having been kidnapped and advised her to go with her children into Pennsylvania, by which advice she attempted to act, but was captured before reaching there. She again made a second attempt and succeeded in escaping with her three children, one of them being the future Bishop. She wrapped him in a blanket, which being lost on ! the way, she then wrapped him in her skirt and thus succeeded in" carrying him into Pennsylvania. The other children were captured, and the sister whom the Bishop met on Saturday, was one of them. Her former owner, Mr. Clawson, died and his son, Dr. Jacob H. Clawson, moved to York county from Virginia, bringing with him the sister, Dicey Clawson, who has been living in Fort Mill township, and is now 78 years old. In July last the Bishop preached near Fort Mill, and in his sermon ne had occasion to refer to the fact of his mother having taken him across the line and gave an account of her first wrapping him in a blanket and then in her skirt. A daughter of Dicey was present and when she went home she related the story to her mother, who remarked that her mother made her escape from slavery and concealed her little brother Benjamin in the same manner. Rev. Dublin 1. Walker, who then had charge of the church, called on Dicey Clawson and during their conversation he told her that Bishop Moore was first called Benjamin Clawson, but afterwards changed his name to John J. Moore. Dicey at once said that he must be her brother, when Rev. Walker told her the Bishop would visit Rock Hill in November and she could then see him and talk with him. On Saturday she walked from her home in Fort Mill to this place and called at the house where the Bishop was stoppingand called for him. She was shown into the room, and the Bishop tells me that he at once recognized her by her resemblance of their mother. The meeting is said by those who witnessed it to have been a joyful one, and this scrap of history of these two individuals so long separated?the brother a free man and the sister a slave, neither knowing where the other was? discloses a feature of life in slavery times of which the growing generation can form but a slight conception. Two car loads of hogs were received at this place on Saturday. The price asked is 5* cents per pound, gross. The weather remaining so warm, and money being so scarce, very few have been sold. The press, type and other material of the Rock Hill Herald was sold at auction at this place on Saturday last. Mr. J. Joseph Hull became the purchaser and will continue the publication as heretofore as editor and proprietor. vitfr. A. 1). Holler and Major A. H.

Fischel, was brought before Trial Justice Leckie on last Tuesday and tried. The trial resulted in the conviction of the accused, lie was sent to jail for fifteen days. He is a young boy, about 14 years of age. Instead of sending criminals of this age to the penitentiary or county jails where they are hardened, would it not be well for the State to establish reformatory institutions with the view of restoring, if possible, such characters to right and honest ways? Institutions of this character have been been attended with beneficial effects in other States, and would doubtless do good in this State. Mrs. G. L. Morgan, representative of the j I Franklin Square Publishing Co., Louis-1 ] ville, Ky., has succeeded in securing a sufj ficient number of names for the establish- j ; ment or a circulating library at this place. 1 j The list of books will be made out and or- i [ dered without delay. The books will he a j source of great improvement and pleas- j i ure to the members of the Association. It ; is hoped that the library will be the occa- j | sion of developing a 'taste for reading i among that portion of our community who, I : at present, have no fondness for books. Among the articles on exhibition at the late Chester Fair was "Clawson's Hair Restorer." It is claimed for this preparation to i have the efficacy of not only cleansing hair, ! but restoring hair to the bald pate. It is said to have caused hair to grow on some bald heads at this place. This is written for the benefit of the members of the baldheaded fraternity. A large amount of land in this county I wi.ll be sold on the 1st Monday of Decemi ber next. The following tracts will be sold: ; A tract of 500 acres, situate on the wai tersof Fishing Creek and bounded by lands of R. I.

After the sale of land by the Clerk and Sherifr there will be a public sale of railroad and county bonds by James Hemphill, Esq., Executor. Mr. Johnson, representative of the Massachusetts and Southern Construction Company, was here one day last week. He spoke with great confidence of the construction o; the North Carolina and Georgetown Railroad, but could not speak so confidently oi the route. That depends, he said, on the amount of money contributed for the enterprise by the competing routes. M. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION. The Baptist State Convention which mel at ureenvme on inursaay last, orgauizet by the election of the following officers: President, Col. James A. Hoyt, of Greenville; Vice President, Rev. John Stout Secretary, Capt. A. J. S. Thomas; Assis tant Secretary, Captain A. B. Woodruff Treasurer, Prof. C. A. Judson. The Executive Board presented its report Enlargement of State Missions is called foi and it is recommended that $16,000 be speni in this work the coming year. The repori I shows that 40 missionaries are at work ir this State. They have charge of 130 sta tions, have worked 3,140 days, preached 1,884 sermons and held 609 prayer meetings Conversions 335; baptisms 252. Two new congregations and 49 Sunday schools have been organized, and eight churches have been built during the year. The missiona ries have collected for State missions (mis sions in the United States outside of South Carolina) $84 ; for foreign missions $179; foi church buildings $1,417; for Furman Uni versity $128; for the theological seminarj , $24. The receipts of the board for State missions were something more than $9,000 A communication from the Society 6 Temperance Workers was read commending the prohibition movement in Anderson ville and Greenville, and calling upon the South Carolina Legislature to pass a loca option law similar to that in Georgia. Friday's session opened with increased numbers of delegates. The report on wo man's mission societies was discussed and adopted. The report shows the organization of twenty-three new societies during the past year and the collection and disbursement for missionary purposes of ovei twenty-eight hundred dollars. There are one hundred and fifty-six societies in the State. The Convention listened to an abio address by Dr. Bitting, of the Ameriear Bible Society, on the distribution of the Scriptures. The report on the Greenville Female College shows a most prosperous condition of that institution. The report o) the Furman University shows that institution to be in a poor financial condition, bul " - ^ a 1 r\ ine trustees ttuu tue ^uiiveiiuuu iuuk aicy: looking to its permanent endowment. Th? trustees elected Rev. R. PI. Griffith financial agent of the University. The Convention ratified the action of the trustees amid much enthusiasm, and commended Dr. Griffith and the cause to the people of the State. All Baptists in the State will gc actively to work to increase the endowment fund sufficiently to place the University or a solid basis as a matter of first importance to the denomination. Able addresses on foreign missions were delivered by the Rev. Messrs. E. J. P'orrester, of Darlington, J. Win. Jones, of Richmond, and B. F. C'orley, of Edgefield. The report shows the collection for the year to be $9,800. South Carolina is emphatically declared by Dr. Jones to be the banner State in foreign missionary contributions. A handsome sum was raised on FViday night for that purpose. On Saturday the standing committee's report on home missions was read and discussed. The report shows the collection and disbursement of thirty-five hundred dollars last year. Five thousand is expected of the State this year to push the work ol planting the Baptist Church in every destitute community. The achievements ol the home missions the past year were the brightest in the history of its work. Two hundred Baptist missionaries are employed and the results were great. The Convention was ably addressed on the subject by Dr. Tichener, secretary of the home mission board. The treasurer of the P'urman University was directed to return the bond to the bondsmen under the old endowment and request from them such contributions as they are able and willing to give under the new plan. The report of the executive board shows an expenditure of over $8,000 on State missions the past year. The executive board elected the Rev. T. X. Bailey, of Alabama, corresponding secretary vice Dr. Griffith, elected financial agent of P'urman University. Vacancies in the board of trustees of l^urman University were filled by the election of Rev. R. W. Sanders, of Chester, and John C. Willingham, of Barnwell. A. B. Woodruff, of Charleston, was elected statistical secretary. The Convention completed its work on Saturday night, and adjourned to meet in Columbia on Thursday before the fourth Monday in November, 1886. * T^_. TT??T,ni, r\n iV.A~UTii.Kil rjiJUJii- i c.L> riunnun.?\./u >? cunesday, of last week, Edward Pressley and his two sons, Charles and Edward, were at work in a field in the Hughes' settlement in Edgefield county, eight miles from the Court House. The field was one that had been previously used by Robert Jones, a man who went to Edgefield from Georgia eight years ago and married old man Pressley's grand-daughter. Jones had paid no rent and was notified this year, that the Pressleys wanted the field themselves. While the three were at work Jones walked into the field with a shot gun and deliberately shot Charles Pressley, killing him instantly. Jones then turned and ran. Edward Pressley pursued him and the old man gave his attention to holding the plough mule which had been frightened by the gun shot. Jones ran to the edge of a piece of woods and drew his knife, and as Edward Pressley reached him cut him across the abdomen, disembowelling him and causing his immediate death. The murderer then reloaded his gun, walked over to old Mr. Pressley and shot him to death. Leaving the three dead men in the field, he shouldered his gun and walked to Edgefield Court House where he went into the jail and surrendered. lie wept freely and said he had killed "three of the best men in the county," but "had it to do." Unearthing a Huge Fraud.?The officials and newspaper men at Washington think they are on the track of a huge fraud of the Republican administration and are following up clues. The alleged fraudsconsist ii> the issuance of $13,000,000 of duplicate United States bonds on which interest has regularly been paid, and the issue of $400,000 in two dollar bills given to S. W.
