? A piece of granite weighing a ton felt
from the third story of the capitol building
at Atlanta as it was being hoisted on Monday
of last week. Superintendent Larkin
was under the stope and it fell on him,
crushing his body into a pulp and killing
him instantly.
? The president of the National Cotton
Planters' Association has addressed a circular
letter to the Governors of the cotton
States asking their co-operation in efforts to
secure the return of sixty odd millions of
dollars, collected illegally directly after the
war and known as the "Cotton tax."
I? Two squirrel hunters wantonly fired into
the packing house of the Ditmar powder
works at Bartow, New York, on Thursday,
causing a tremendous explosion. Four
workmen were blown into fragments. The
shock of the explosion was felt at towns
many miles away causing much alarm from
the impressions that it was an earthquake.
? The Wilson and Fayetteville branch of
the Wilmington and Weldon railroad, seventy-four
miles in length, is completed and
was opened through to- Fayetteville for
freight and passenger traffic last Friday.
This is what is known as the short cut,
which, when completed through to Florence,
8. *C., will shorten the time by the
Atlantic Coast line several hoursf
? The number of business failures for the
quarter ending September 30, as reported to
?to R. G. Dun & Co., is 1,932, as compared
with 2,173 for the third quarter of 1885.
The liabilities, however, show a considerable
increase, amounting, in the quarter just
nlmuul 49 7SO WW oa nmtinRf: 312.387.400 in
the corresponding quarter of '85. For the
nine months concluding with the 29th, the
failures numbered 7,088, as compared with
8,162 for the first nine months of last year.
? At Romney, W. Va., last week, John
H. C. Bowen was convicted of murder in
the first degree, and sentenced to imprisonment
for life, for killing Frank Heat wale
on April 29 last. Heatwale was killed by
mistake, Bowen having intended to take
the life of. one Harvey Barr, of whose attention
to a married woman in the neighborhood
he was jealous. Barr, who was empoyed
as watchman in a mill, induced Heatwale
to wait for him that night, and the
latter lost'his life in doing a favor for his
friend.
? B. G. Cole, the white man sentenced to
be hanged at Carthage, Moore county, N.
C., has been taken to the penitentiary.
Cole killed his wife some eighteen months
ago in the roost systematic manner. Each
day he put a small quantity of poison in
her food. He narfowly escaped lynching
by enraged people. He was convicted and
appealed, and finally his mind failed. He
is partially idiotic. He is seventy years
of age. Bfis sentence was commuted to imprisonment
for life because of his partial
insanity.
? A dispatch from Steelvilie, Mo., says
that at 11 o'clock last Thursday night a body
of men went down to the jail where Wallace.
the alleged murderer of the Logan
family, was confined, broke down the doors
in spite of the resistance of the sheriff, took
the man out and hanged him to a tree.
After a few minutes tney let him down,
thinking ne wouia coniess, out no cuuuuueu
' to protest his innocence, and leading citizens
finally persuaded the lynchers to surrender
the victim to the sheriff and let the
law take its "course.
? The indications are that the State election
to be held to-day will be one of the
quietest ever held in Georgia. No opposition
has been developed to the Democratic
* State ticket, and there seems to be none to
the constitutional amendments, the one
striking out the provision requiring all local
bills to originate in the House of Representatives,
and the other enlarging the
power of the General Assembly with regard
to providing for disabled Ex-Confederate
soldiers. A small vote is expected, though
local contests for members of the General
Assembly will probably swell the total vote
| of the State, and make the election in many
counties something more than a formality.
? Four tons of giant powder were exploded
in a well sunk thirty-five feet deep into
the solid granite of Stone Mountain, Ga., at
4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. After the
powder was stored away in the chambers at
the bottom of the well, the well was filled
up to the surfarce and ignited by means of
electricity. A person at the foot of the
mountain would probably have heard the
explosion, but as a sensation the blast was a
failure. Whether it was a success in breaking
up the stone it will take several days to
determine. Slight cracks were discovered
here and tlfere. Quite a number of persdns
went from Atlanta to witness the blast.
Future blasts will be made at a depth of
from one to two hundred feet, in which from
thirty to fifty tons will be employed.
? An earthquake at Arica, i 1 Peru, is
thus described by Gen. Pleasorton: "The
people of that afflicted countp have been
shaken up so often that they have no difficulty
in recognizing ?.u earthquake by
sight. But the last ore was recognized long
before it could be seen. It came more slowly
than any of its predecessors?so slowly
that all the people had time to run out of
their little one-story adobe houseslnto the
plaza, where they fell prone on their faces.
When the earthquake got there it carried
the ground up just like a wave. The people
lying in the plaza felt just as you do when
a big wave rolls under you on the beach.
Those who lay in the trough of the wave,
so to speak, were all right; but those who
went up on the crest of the wave fell into it
where it broke and were buried alive under
it. It was all over in a minute."
? On the morning of September 30th, the
Supreme Court of Virginia, sitting at Staunton,
handed down the papers in the case of
T. J. Cluverius, who stands convicted of
the murder of Lilian Madison at the old
reservoir, in Richmond, with the indorsement
that the petition for a rehearing is denied.
This remands the case to the Hustings
court of Richmond, by which the time
will be fixed for the death penalty by hanging
unless executive clemency interposes.
It is not considered at all probable that the
executive will interfere with the sentence
of the court. As soon as the record in the
case is certified by the Court of Appeals
down to the Hustings court, the latter tribunal
will re-sentence the doomed man.
* The date of the hanging will probably be
fixed at sixty days from the time of the
prisoner's arraignment.
? Advices from the southwestern coast of
Texas, particularly in the region south of
the Rio Grande and from some interior
points, give accounts of a great rain storm
and much destruction of property. From
September 21 to 23 a tremendous rain storm
and hurricane swept over the vicinity of
Brownsville, Texas, including Matamoras.
Twenty-six inches of rain fell up to the
night of the 23rd and the wind is said to
nave reacnea a veiocuy 01 neariy uut> Hundred
miles per hour. Over two hundred
houses in Brownsville were blown down and
a large number damaged, rendering homeless
some three hundred families. In Matamoras
over three hundred houses were leveled
and many injured. The entire rear
part of the city, embracing over thirty
blocks, was flooaed to a depth of from three
to eight feet, and the people living there
were rescued only with the greatest difficulty.
All telegraph lines were blown down,
and the Rio Grande and Matamoras and
Monterey railroads were washed out, and
traffic has not yet been restored.
? On the night of September 23rd the
store of A. D. Owens, at Creswell, Martin
county, N. C., was entered by burglars.
Owens' dwelling adjoined the store. He
heard a noise and as he stepped to the door
saw two burglars one of whom raised a gun
and fired. Forty buckshot entered the
stomach of Owens who in a few moments
was a corpse. Since that time the authoriI
ties have Deen on the track of the murderI
era. Monday night Sheriff Sprewell arL
rived at Plymouth with the wife of the
murdered man and two negroes. Another
.^1 negro. James Davenport, alias Ambrose,
was snot and killed. One of the negroes
made a confession some days ago as follows:
That Mrs. Owens had hired them to kill
her husband. She wished them to drown
him, and prepared water in a barrel for that
purpose. She gave him some medicine to
put him in a sound sleep, and these negroes
actually stood by his bedside ready to commit
the crime, but their courage failed
them. Finally Ambrose some nights afterward
entered the store and when Owens
appeared shot him. Ambrose was pursued
and, on making a desperate attempt to kill
f -
; the members of the Sheriffs possee, was
1 shot through the heart. Mrs. Owens and
two negroes are now. in jail at Plymouth
awaiting trial. /

YORKVILLE, S. C. :
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1886.
CHARLESTON, CINCINNATI AND CHICAGO^
The first annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago
Railroad Company was held in Charleston
on Thursday last. From the News and
Courier of Friday we take the following
account of the proceedings of the meeting:
One of the most important railroad meetings
held in Charleston for many years past
took place at the Charleston Hotel yesterday.
It was attended by Col. Frank Coxe,
of Asheville, N. C.; Dr. W. L. Mauldin, of
Greenville, the Democratic nominee for
Lieutenant Governor; Mr. C. E. Spencer,
of Yorkville; Col. R. A. Johnson, general
manager of the Massachusetts and Southern
Construction Company, of Boston, Mass.;
Mr. Henry R. Baker, of Springfield, Mass.,
and Col. James D. Elanding, of Sumter,
S. C. It was a meeting of the stockholders
of the consoldated Charleston, Cincinnati
and Chicago Railroad Company.
This railway enterprise is one of the most
extensive, and so far as the commercial interests
of Charleston are concerned, one of
the most important that has been projected
since the war. The consolidated lines represented
in the company bring Charleston
one hundred and fifty-eight miles nearer
the Ohio River than by any other route. It
is. therefore, of the greatest importance that
the road should be .built and, from the representations
that have been made, there
can be little doubt that it will be completed
from Sumter, S. C., to Ashland, Ky., on
the Ohio River, within the next two years.
The plan of the company is to have one
system of railroads under one management,
running from the Atlantic Ocean to the
Ohio River, and from that point to make
the most direct connection with the entire
West and Northwest. The distance from
Sumter the most southerly point to which
the railroad will at first be built, to a point
where the line runs North to Johnson City,
Tennessee, is a distance of four hundred
and forty-five milles. In this distance the
road intersects eight other lines of railway
and traverses. one of the most fertile and
rich farming sections in the United States.
A fine location has been secured across the
Blue Ridge Mountains and with a light
grade. This crossing over the mountains is
believed to be less difficult than any that
has previously been discovered.
At the meeting of the stockholders yesterday
Col. Frank Coxe, of Asheville, N.
C., was elected president and Mr. Henry
K. Baker, of Springfield, Mass., secretary
and treasurer.
Frank Coxe, Asheville, N. C., Richard
Dozier, Georgetown, S. C., Theodore G.
Barker, Charleston, S. C.*, James D. Blanding,
Sumter, S. C., Henry K. Baker, Springfield,
Mass., John T. Wilder, Chattanooga,
T*nn FT. D. Lee. Shelbv. N. C., P. P. Dick
inson, New York city"/Peter J. Sinclair,
Marion, N. C., Wm. K. Baker, Springfield,
Mass., Damon N. Coates, New York city,
Edward S. Brewer, Hartford, Conn., and
Wm. P. Callender, Springfield, Mass., were
elected directors.
The contract for the consolidation of the
roads embraced in the project was adopted
and ratified by the stockholders, and it was
resolved that for the purpose of raising money
to be used in the construction of its railroad
under its charters, and for the purchase
of freight and passenger cars, locomotive
engines, steel rails, the laying of side-tracks,
the building of double track where necessary,
the furnishing of terminal facilities
and the erection of necessary machine shops,
round-houses, depots, and for other purposes
in connection with the successful operation
and maintenance of the railroad, and
for such purposes as may be authorized by
the directors, this company do issue its first
mortgage bonds to the extent of $20,000 per
mile, to bear date October 1, A. D. 1886, and
to be payable in United States gold coin on
the 1st day of October, A. D. 1916, and said
bonds shall bear interest at the rate 6 per
centum per annum, payable quarterly in
like gold coin on the first days of January,
April, July and October.
2. That the amount of bonds outstanding
at any one time, issued under the authority
of this vote, shall not exceed twenty thousand
($20,000) dollars per mile of railroad
constructed.
3. That for the purpose of securing the
payment of said first mortgage bonds and
interest, Frank Coxc, the president of this
company, as agent, be, and he hereby is,
authorized, ?for and in the name of this
company, to execute and deliver a deed of
trust, or mortgage, containing a power of
sale, to the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust
Company, of Boston, in the Commonwealth
" - - " - ?. l 1
oi iuassacnuseus, 01 uie rauruuu ui imstumpany
and its franchises, extending from its
southern terminus in the city of Charleston,
S. C., to its most northern terminus upon the
State line of Tennessee, as the same now is
or may hereafter be located and constructed,
with all the extensions and branches built
and to be built, owned .and to be acquired,
together with all the franchises, privileges
and appurtenances appertaining thereto,
and the said agent is further authorized to
attach the corporate seal of this company to
said deed, and to acknowledge the same as
the free act and deed of this company.
4. That the above bonds shall be for one
thousand dollars each.
Another resolution was adopted providing
that the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust
Company act as the trustees of the stock,
trust mortgage and bonds to be issued, and
a contract was made with the Massachusetts
and Southern Construction Company for the
beginning of work upon this grand enterprise,
which promises so much for the country
through which it passes, and for Charleston,
its southern terminus.
Charters covering the entire line to the
Ohio River have been secured, and the surveying
corps, under the direction of that
experienced engineer, Thomas E. Matson,
is now engaged in locating the line through
Virginia and Tennessee. The local business
on that section between the mountains of
North Carolina and the Ohio River will
unquestionably tax a single track road seriously.
Railroad experts and men of business
who have become familiar with it,
unanimously declare that a single track cannot
do the business which will flow to it.
The section of country around Ashland, opposite
to which is fronton, on the Ohio
River, is known as the "Hanging Rock
Region," and in this section are already
built over sixty complete iron works, most
| of which are now idle from the want of
| suitable ores for the profitable manufacture
of steel.
In conversation with a reporter for the
News ami Courier yesterday, Col. R. A.
Johnson, the general manager of the Construction
Company, said: "This line is what
+ rvoniila r>f I''harlocf-nn hnvfl hppn SPPkinir
! pvwpiv, VI VIIH*.VW?V.. o
for years and years. We are surely going
j to the mountains. We have a line surveyed
over the Blue Ridge; we have a corps of
surveyors now in' Virginia surveying the
line through to the Kentucky line. We
have our arrangements all completed, and
a part of the road built from Black's
j Station, on the Air-Line Railway. We
have graded forty-five miles, and are laying
60* pound steel rails at the rate of a
I mile a day. We want to connect the mouni
tain country with Charleston at the earliest
i possible moment, and I can assure you that
j we are going to build this road as rapidly
as possible. We shall have a line from the
iron ore country across the Blue Ridge
Mountains within the course of two years,
and a line'to Sumter, and from there to conj
nect with Charleston within the next twelve
or fifteen months. Our road passes over a
coal bed in Kentucky, which is eleven feet
thick and of the very purest quality mined
in any part of the world, and Charleston,
had she through connection with these
fields, would, I firmly believe, be the greatest
coal depot in the world."
THE NEEDS UP CHARLESTON.
I [From the New York World, of September 30.]
Capt. F. W. Dawson, the editor of the
Charleston News and Courier, arrived in the
I city last evening, and is stopping at the
I New York Hotel.
"I am in a position to state from personal
kuowledge," he said, "and I think it is
time it was stated to the generous public,
which has come forward so promptly to
Charleston's aid that the money so far received
and now in sight?that is to say
which has been subscribed?amounting, if
it is all paid in, to $450,000 or $500,000, will
suffice to render habitable the houses of
those of our citizens who are absolutely
without means to help themselves. I refer
to laboring people, poor widows and the like
who owned little homes with mortgages upon
them, and who would be utterly without
resources to repair damages were it not for
timely assistance.
"Then you mean that no more help is
1-.1 oil
neeueu r.-~
"No. Far from that. The double blow
which Charleston has received, first from
the cyclone and then from the earthquake,
is one that she cannot recover from unless
she receives other organized aid from outside.
If it can be arranged so that she can
borrow money at a fair rate of interest, say
four per cent.?borrow, not in a wildcat
way, mind you, but on perfectly good, substantial
security, which she can furnishthen
we will be able to rebuild and in a few
years be on ourfeetagain. One thing more
is needed to put Charleston where it was?
before the disaster. That is for the Government
to aid us by promptly pushing forward
the work of building jetties at our
harbor's mouth and thus giving us twentyfive
feet of water in the channel. This
work, yotl understand, has already been
ordered, and all that we ask is that it be
hastened forward as fast as possible. It is
not that it will bring much money to
Charleston?for it will not?but it will give
us facilities for business which must greatly
benefit the city.
"You may say," added Capt. Dawson,
"that the contributions which have been
sent to Charleston have been received and
distributed in the same spirit in which] they
were given."
"Has there been inucn indignation in
South Carolina over the President's failure
to express any sympathy?"
"I do not like to talk about that," replied
the Southern editor with feeling. "I have
been very close to the President, and have
had high admiration and love for him. It
certainly seemed, considering the fearful
calamity which had befallen a city, that the
proper thing forthe President of the United
States to do was togo at once to Washington
and say to the suffering people: 'I am here
at the post of duty. What can I do for you ?'
We expected it, particularly from a Democratic
President. His failure to say a word
caused not so much anger as disappointment
and pain. We don't know what to
make of it. But it was not merely the
President who surprised us. There is Senator
Wade Hampton. He has been the
idol of Charleston. And Senator Butler,
also of South Carolina. We have not hearcl
a word from either. Butler is in Europe,
but there is the cable. It would not have
cost so very much, either of money or labor,
for him to send us a few words. No; we
don't know what to make of it all. You
remember how Charleston came forward at
the time of Cleveland's marriage and sent
a beautiful present to the bride. We have
always stood staunchly by him.
"A pleasant contrast was the energetic action
of-Adjt. Gen. Drum, the acting secretary
of war. The engineers he sent down
were of incalculable benefit, not only in determining
what buildings were unsafe, but
which ones, though they looked unsafe, were
not so. I tell you it was splendid work
those gentlemen did, and it did seem as il
they would woric-themselves to death, sc
zealously wemtfiey prosecuting their task."

X/LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.
Rock Hill, October 4.?The stock show
was held at this place on Thursday last. A
large number of entries were made, and all
in all, the exhibition was a success and a
credit to Eastern York. It showed conclusively
that our people are wide awake and
taking each year greater Interest in improved
stock and agricultural implements.
Only thoroughbred and graded stock was
exhibited. The following is a list of those
who received first premiums:

daughter of Capt. L. M. Davis, exhibited a
plate of biscuit made by herself; also a beautiful
lace handkerchief made with her own
little fingers.
Jerry White, colored, exhibited a water
melon of unusual size.
The exhibition was a decided success, and
it is hoped that next year the attendance
will be larger and that there will be a much
larger number of entries.
On last Weduesday Mr. Henry Rattaree
had a difficulty with a colored man named
Joe Withers, who lives three miles east ol
town. Mr. ltattaree shot Withers with a
pistol, the ball entering the thigh. The
wound is not considered dangerous.
Mr. J. W. Steele, who lives near Walnut
Spring, five miles from this place, was kicked
by a mule on Friday evening and painfully
hurt on the face and shoulder. He
was attended by Dr. Crawford, who dressed
the wounds. Mr. Steele says the mule has
always been gentle and kind. He had forgotten
Josh Billings' remark that "a mule
will be a good mule for twelve months to
get a chance to kick some one."
Mr. John Rattaree has twelve acres of cotton
on his farm, two miles from this place,
that will yield a bale to the acre. On the
same twelve acres in 1882, Mr. Rattaree
made eighteen bales.
Cotton is coming into our market slowly.
The crop is not as promising as it was some
weeks ago. The high winds and cold weather
for the past three or four days have damaged
the crop.
Rev. W. B. Jennings, pastor of the Presbyterian
church at this place, has been holding
a series of prayer meetings during the
past week in his church. On yesterday
communion services were conducted.
Mrs. Von Wittkie, wife of Mr. A. Von
Wittkie, died at this place on Saturday.
Some of the buildings on Main street have
been very much improved during the past
week by the paint brush.

Our people, as a general thing, are pleased
with the nominations made at the primary
election.
A brilliant marriage is to take place in
the Episcopal church in this place on Wednesday
night. The contracting parties are
well known and popular young people ol
our town. Hal.
Suicide in Charleston.?A Charleston
dispatch of Friday says: The dead body
of Alexander W. McLoy was found this
afternoon in the marsh on Cooper river,
three miles from the city. Yesterday mornfng
Mr. McLoy left home and went to the
gunpowder magazine, near which his body
was found. When he reached there he
took off his coat and vest and cut his throat
with a knife. After doing this he walked
a distance of thirty feet and tumbled into
the marsh, where he was found this afternoon,
attention being attracted to the spot
by a flock of buzzards hovering near.
Mr. McLoy was a member of the late
firm of McLoy, Rice & Co., which was compelled
to cease business on account of the
death of Mr. Rice, the New York member
of the firm. He had lost all he owned and
had been in despair since his business closed.
It is supposed that mental abberation,
brought on by despondency, caused his suicide.
Mr. McLoy was about GO years
old and one of the most highly respected
men of the community. He left a wife
and three children.

LETTER FROM FORT MILL.
Fort Mill, S. C., October 4.?The long
drouth has cut off cotton still more. Grass
is dying in the pastures. Even large fissures
are appearing on the face of the earth.
Some of our good people attribute these
fissures to the long succession of earth3uakes;
but they always appear in stiff lands
uring a prolonged drought. By-the-way,
one of the colored men, who went on that
excursion to Charleston, says that he failed
to find the gaps in the earth and the sulphurous
vapors so much written about in
the papers.
Our citizens are gathering the fleecy staple
as fast as they can ; but the scarcity and
low price of the article have a very depressing
effect on the farmers. Short crops for
three or four years in succession have not
enriched the community to' an alarming
extent; nor have they tended to increase
the love of our people for cotton. Perhaps
it is a blessing in disguise, inasmuch as our
people might be drawn from their devotion
tn rnttnn and nersuaded. or forced, to diver
sify crops. It cannot be expected that this
old country is able to compete with the vast,
new territory, opened and opening in the
West, in the production of cotton; therefore^?-must
turn to something else.
^"Ueath has been among us since our last
" letter. On Monday evening of last week,
Mrs. Elizabeth Culp, mother of T. G. Culp,
Esq., passed to eternal rest, without any
warning, in the eighty-first year of her
age. Being ripe unto the harvest, the great
Master quietly gathered her into tne garner.
On the next afternoon Miss Azile, daughter
of Mr. Simon M. Mills, died of congestion
of the brain, after ten days' or two weeks'
illness. In the roseate dawn of young womanhood
she was called from the scenes of
earth into eternity. Many friends mourn
\ her departure, but trust that their loss is
her eternal gain.
Oh last Saturday the bright little son of
>Jt. John S. Kimbrell died, after an illness
lasting a few days. Thus almost at one
| stroke we see old age, youthful vigor and
, helpless infancy swept from among us.
| Who shall be called next ?
| A protracted meeting was begun at the
Baptist Church last night under conduct of
its pastor, Rev. Mr. Faulkner. His health
has improved, but he does not yet seem to
, be stout as before his illness. We hope he
will have strength to perform his duties.

; Beaver Dam Church on the western side of
this county on last Thursday. The attendance
was good, and the meeting was quite
i interesting. Rev. R. H. Griffith, of Greenville,
was present as a representative of
Furman University,
i Rev. Mr. McAlpine, and Bev. Mr. McMullen
conducted a very interesting and
, successful meeting last week at Bullock's
. Creek Presbyterian Church. There were
fifty-six accesions to the church. Of these
there were many who were advanced in
i life.
A considerable religious revival has also
recently taken place in the Armenia neigh
borhood. Rev. Mr. Tray wick, a Methodist
minister, was instrumental in prevailing
upon a large number of the unconverted to
repent of their sins, and unite with the
i church.
The commissioners of election for this
county are Messrs. A. G. Brice, T. W. Ber

A very sad atfair occurred in Baton Rouge
: township Saturday night. Dave Henry, col- '
ored, and his wife, Martha, left home to
attend a prayer meeting, leaving their house
and two children in the care of Caroline
! Berry, colored. On their return about 12
o'clock they found the house in flames,
i They made an effort to enter, but this was
an impossibility. Caroline and the two
children were consumed. Her bad habit of
smoking in bed is supposed to have led to
the unfortunate occurrence,
i Mrs. Jane Hemphill, a very estimable
lady of our town, died this morning. Her
i health has been very feeble for some time,
i The corps of surveyors will begin the
survey of the line from this point to Monroe,
N. C., on next Friday. President Mills
is now getting in readiness camp equip:
ments and the necessary preliminaries.
He has no doubt of the construction of the

The Silver Certificates.?On Friday
the United States Treasurer issued the following
notice in regard to the issue of one
dollar silver certificates:
"Owing to the great demand for other
denominations of notes, the treasurer of the
: United States is unable to supply one dollar
notes, except in small amounts. In order
to satisfy, as far as possible, the public
demand, it has been decided to furnish
r il! 41 : ? ?..,vva ?1 n/m

i to each bank making application, and at the
; same time depositing that sum with the assistant
treasurer at New York. Upon rei
ceipt of a certificate of deposit the like sum
will be forwarded at the expense of banks
making the application.
"In order to effect an equitable distribution
as far as possible, applicants will obtain
their notes in the order in which deposits
are made at the sub-treasury until
further notice. No second application will
i be granted until the supply of notes is adequate
to meet all current demands. The
maximum amount of these certificates that
the treasurer can furnish daily will not exceed
eighty thousand, and it i? suggested by
the acting treasurer that it will be well for
the banks to ascertain} through their New
York correspondents, the probable time
when the." will receive shipments of ones
in the order in which the deposits are
made."

SERMON TO THE MILITARY. q
On Sunday last Rev. J. C. Galloway, pastor of jj
the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church,, h
and Chaplain of the Jenkins Rifles, preached a tj
sermon, by invitation of the company, especial- h
ly to its rrfembers. The company, under command
of Lieut. Moore, Capt. Adickes being un- ?(
avoidably absent from town, marched in full h
uniform from their armory to the church, and ci
a large congregation was in attendance to hear B
the discourse. The sermon was founded on e<
Ephesians 6:13?"Wherefore take unto you the i(
whole armor of God, that ye may. be able to tl
withstand in the evil day, and having done all, it
to stand." The argument was a paralelism be- b
tween the life of the Christian and the life of a b
soldier, and abounded in much that was edify- ^
ing and instructive, while as a pulpit oration it "
was pronounced an able and masterly effort.

Judge Simonton's First Court.?The

of Judge Simonton in the discharge of
le duties of the important position wliich
e now holds.
The Court was in session about three
eeks. The whole number of cases tried
as sixty-seven, an average of over three
ir each day for every day of the term,

. Trial Justice issued a summons in a civ-'
case requiring the defendant to appear j
id answer on the twentieth day exclusive |
' the day of service. He appeared and anvered
on the twentieth day, and went into
ial on the same day without objection.
The Trial Justice rendered j udgment against
the defendant, who appealed to the Court
of Common Pleas on the ground that the
Trial Justice had no jurisdiction to goon
and try the case before the full twenty days
had expired from the service of the summons,
although the defendant had appeared
and gone into trial without objection.
The Circuit Judge reversed the Judgment of
the Trial Justice on the ground that it was
a jurisdictional defect, not cured by the voluntary
appearance of the defendant.
