Straps and <fact$. ? The business failures throughout the country for weekending Friday as reported to Dun & Co., nuiiiber for the United States 167 and for Canada 23, which is about up to ! the average of the last six or seven weeks, i The bulk of the casualties is reported from the Southern and Western States. ? Maxwell, the condemned murderer, who is awaiting execution in St. Louis, is said to have become completely unnerved, and to show in every movement his distress. He rolls and tosses all night, talks and starts in his sleep, and is said to be haunted by a vision of the murdered Rreller. s ? A Washington dispatch says that a < statement prepared at the Treasury depart- ? raent on Wednesday last shows that there l were then outstanding $60,139,752 in stan- 1 dard silver dollars, bein^ the largest amount ( of coin in circulation since their issue be- i gan. A rapid decline, however is now ex- 1 - pected as the result of the issue of more I convenient silver certificates. . ? The following hint from the Boston c Budget may be of interest to consumers of < coal: "It is not generally known that coal which remains in store perfectly dry is rendered less valuable on that account, yet such is the fact. Most coal mines are saturated with water, and if this is drained off", the coal becomes flinty and valueless. Coal stored through the summer should be sprinkled ana kept moist." ?There appeared before the local court of Sparta, Ga., the other day, a negro named Cooper Lamar, who was captured off the coast of Africa and brought to America on the Wanderer 26 years ago, and consequently was one of the last negroes ever stolen and smuggled into slavery. Notwithstanding his 26 years' residence here he knows but little of the English tongue, and has to be questioned by signs. ? The hero of the political hour seems to be ( Miss Martha Strickland, of Michigan. She K was a Greenback delegate to a fusion Con- J gressional convention of Democrats, and 1 while chaos was at its height, she waved her t rhetorical wand over the howling elements, j talked a few words of common sense, which acted like a sedative, and harmony was restored. This secures a Democrat in this ] district and clearly entitles Miss Scrickland * to half the salary. t ? There have thus far been conventions i held in 160 of the 185 Democratic districts ( as represented in the present Congress, and t 56 have failed of renomination. In 140 ReSublican districts, as now represented, there ave been but 117 conventions and 20 have ^ failed of renomination. Of the 325 members c of the 48th Congress 185 were re-elected. The i indications are that the next Congress will ^ have 225 of the present membership of the House. ? The contest in the Third Congressional " District of Louisiana promises to be a unique one. Two days ago the Democratic Convention at Franklin nominated Edward -J. Gay, ten times a millionaire and the richest man in Louisiana. The Republican Convention boldly responded to-day by ' choosing J. S. Davidson, a full blooded negro, the only one ever nominated in Louisiana, and one of the few in the South. The district is the largest and richest country district in the State and a very close one, but usually Republican. Davidson has been a member of of the Louisiana Legistature. ? The cotton crop report for the Memphis district, which embraces West Tennessee, North Mississippi, North Arkensas and North Alabama, represents the season more favorable than up to this season last year. Picking is progressing rapidly throughout the district, and it is estimated that 15 per cent, of the crop has been gathered up to the 1st of October. The light frost which fell in portions of the district on the night of OctODer 1st were not damaging, and the fair weather that has since prevailed gives assurance of favorable conditions, which adds to the bright prospects of the planter and enables him to gather his crop in a clean and satisfactory manner. The staple is moving rapidly to market, and there is no disposition on the part of the planter to hold his cotton for higher ? pilfC9. ? The proposed railroad from Roanoke City, Va., South will probably take a different route, if built, from that originally proposed. It is now intimated that President Garrett, of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company has secured European capital neccessary for extending the Shenandoah Valley railroad south to Pensacola, Fla., and that the work is to be be commenced within thirty days. The route is said to be over the old line direct into Salem, Virginia, via Buchanan, thence south to the famous Cranberry iron mines of North Carolina, to Birmingham, Ala., Dalton, and Pensacola, Fla. The object thus of extending so far south is to get an open and direct route to the gulf of Mexico, which is now blocked to the Baltimore & Ohio by the Richmond and Danville syndicate. ? In the Hustings Court of Richmond, Va., last Saturday, Thomas J. Cluverius, convicted of the murder of Fannie Lilian Madison, was re-sentenced to be hanged on the 10th of December next, the Court of Appeals having denied him a new trial. Only about thirty persons were present in the court room, as it was not generally known that he would be re-sentenced on that day. Cluverius appeared to be somewhat care worn and nervous, and it was evident that he was under a heavy strain to maintain composure. When .asked by the judge if he had anything to oay why sentence should not be passed upon him, he, in a low tone, replied "No sir; nothing more than I have said before." Judge At- ( kins then, without any preface, pronounced the death sentence. s ? The grand jury sitting at Columbus, ] Ohio, last week, completed one of the most important pieces of work ever brought before such a body. The revelations that have been made in regard to the conduct of the State prison under the present administration form the basis for a number of indictments. It has been shown that the keepers and the convicts were in league in a conspiracy of crime such as has never before been undertaken in this country. Convicts were let out to commit burglaries, the proceeds of which the keepers and guards divided. It also appears that the prison was made an j agency for defeating the will of the people I as expressed at the polls. Election returns j are shown to have been taken out of the ' County Clerk's safe, brought to the prison, [ changed by forgers confined there, and i ? taken back before the making of the official count. The whole administration of the ; place was rotten through and through. ! ? There is a lively demand for the one, 1 two and five dollar silver certificates in New 1 York. The banks are depositing their sil- i ver just as fast as it will be taken at the sub- j treasury. President John Samson, of the Ci.ase National Bank, in a cicular letter on | the silver notes, says: The financial bearings of this issue of paper currency are: It more j f than neutralizes the effect of the surrender- i < ing of national bank notes. *It takes from j t the treasury its ownership of some ninety j j millions of silver dollars and substitutes an j equal amount of gold and greenbacks, thus s warding off any danger of dropping from ' > gold to the silver standard. It enables the ! c treasury to call in all the three per cent, j s bonds without the risk ol having to offer I silver dollars in payment. It will work a j s gradual ana aesiraoie expansion, it on- j literates the necessity of handling any ine-1 t talic currency except small change. It will j t be only a short time, bankers say, when the ^ new silver notes will completely drive out; c of circulation the clumsy silver dollar. a ? R. P. Wallace, the murderer of the c Logan family of five persons, father mother r and three children, near Cuba, Missouri, r was taken from the jail at Steeleville, on c the night of the 4th instant, by a mob and r lynched. The guilty man had been taken c to Steeleville from Cuba, where the horri ble t crime had been perpetrated, for safe keep- r ing, for fear that he would be summarily dealt with by the enraged citizens of Cuba, a On Friday morning, October 1, the mob 1 gained an entrance to jail, seized Wallace, dragged him from his cell and strung him up. He was cut down after being allowed > to hang for a short time in order that a con- f fession might be forced from him. He re- ^ fused to confess the crime, and before the s crowd could hang him up again the sheriff p gained possession of him, and hurried him t back to his cell. The crowd was prevailed f upon to disperse, and it was supposed that r the law would be allowed to take its own t course. On Monday night, however, a j r second and more successful attempt was s nade to mete out justice to the murderer i\. masked mob of about 100 men quietly gathered around the jaii at midnight ant lemanded entrance of the jailor. This \va efused and the mob battered down one o ;he doors and a delegation of their numbe vas sent to bring out the prisoner, whilt )thers were detailed to guard the road: eading to the scene. Wallace was waken ?d from his sleep, dragged out to the infuri ited mob and was asked if he had any ;hing to say. He responded by strongly protesting his innocence, still adhering t< ;he story that it was the negro Vaughan ivho was guilty. This angered the mol aiore than ever, and with a shout they pro iuced a rope, oue end of which they placet iround the murderer's neck. The othe: md was thrown over the limb of a tre< itandin? near the iail. The prisoner stil protested his innocence and" pleaded fo: nercy, but without avail. Strong hand: 'rasped the rope and Wallace's body swunj n the air. Another chance was not giver iim to confess, and in a few minutes hi: Dody was a corpse. He ?0tMlc (ftoqnim. YORKVILLE, S. C : ^ WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 188G. THE ANARCHISTS TO HANG. The trial and conviction, in the Chicagc Criminal Court, of the Anarchists, Spies Parsons, Fielden, Schwab, Engel, Fischer Liingg and Neebe, the verdict of the jurj reing that all except Neebe should b( ranged, and that he should suffer imprison nent for fifteen years, is one of the mosi lotable criminal cases of recent date.

Or Thursday last, Judge Gary overruled the notion and confirmed the verdict of the ury. Xhe usual question was then put te ;he prisoners, why sentence of death should iot be pronounced against them, and eaci eplied, some making address of consider ible length, and thus occupying the time o he Court until Saturday afternoon. The lurden of the remarks of the prisoners wai xiraplaint that they did not have a fail :rial; that the Court was organized to con /ict; that the prosecuting attorneys were rounded on by a mob seeking the blood o nnocent men. They all inveighed agains he oppression of the laboring classes by the ich employers, and each one avowed hi: eadiness and willingness to die for the irinciples they entertained, though thej lenied even instigating the throwing of the leadly bomb that caused so much destruc ion to human life. The Judge sentencec hem to be hanged on the 3rd of December STATE AID ToiTcHARLESTOX. The question having been discussed of the ;xpediency and propriety of the Governoi onvening the Legislature in extra sessior or the'purpose of submitting to the people tn amendment to the constitution, to be roted on at the ensuing State election, pro dding State relief for the Charleston suf erers by the earthquake, the Columbit Register of Saturday discusses the questior ts follows: In order that injustice may not be done Governor Sheppard as having willfully re used to call an extra session of the Assem )ly for the purpose of amending the State Constitution so as to permit the granting lid for the rebuilding of ruined property n Charleston and Summerville, it is bui 4-Wnt ZoVtAiilrl ovnldin fhi uupci CUttL tllC JLW^y OIIUUIU vapmiii tuv Governor's position. It is over five weeks lince the disastrous Tuesday night wher Charleston and Summerville were laid ir uins. From that time to the present nc isserablage of the people of Charleston has >een had asking State aid, nor has the Citj Council or Mayor sought such aid. Along with this, it is known by the Governor that the Charleston delegation in th< \ssembly are adverse to the proposition c in extra session, and there is besides this rood ground for the belief that the people o Charleston are largely opposed to asking aic rom the State. Besidesall this, with the exception of Mr Brawley, no member of the Assembly frorr inv part of the State has expressed a will ugness for a call of an extra session, whils lot a few have expressed themselves as de sidedly averse to such a call. The Governor, under all these cireum^ stances, does not feel justified in calling th< Legislature together. In addition to all this, owing to certair lecisionsofthe Supreme Court of the Unitei states construing the provisions of th< Fourteenth amendment of the Federal Con ititution, viz: "Nor shall any State deprive my person of life, liberty or property with )ut due process of law," as forbidding jus )uch action on the part of a Legislature a: >vould be involved in granting aid, eithei jy bonds, endorsement or otherwise, for tin rebuilding or repair of private property, i s not seen how an amendment to the Stat< Constitution if the people should consent t( :he same, would cure the difficulty. Then ivould still remaiu the provision of th< Federal Constitution, and the constructor if the same by the Supreme Court of tin United States forbidding the contemplatec egislation, just as effectually as is nov lf?no hv nur Xtatp (Constitution and the de nsion of our own Supreme Court. W< mve felt it due to the Governor that hi) josition should be fairly understood in thii natter by the people of the State. The Pea body School Fund.?At tin neeting in New York on Wednesday las )f the trustees of the Peabody Fund the ol lo wi ng execu ti ve com mi ttee was appoint ?d: A. H. H. Stuart, W. M. Evarts, Chie fustice Waite, ex-President Hayes, Jame) l). Porter and Chairman Winthrop. A resolution was adopted to increase the illotment to the State of South Carolina ir ;iew of the devastation caused by the earth luakes. The amount will probably be fixec it 810,000. In hisannual address, President Winthro{ aid the reduction of interest had diminish ;d the income realized from the bonds lefi >y Mr. Peabody. He congratulated the rustees on their twenty years successfu vork, and called attention to the necessity tf securing national aid for education. He illuded to the illiteracy among the negroef ?f theSouth, and said that education would nake them better and stop frauds. Kefer ing to South Carolina he said not one if the Southern States had made greater 01 nore successful efforts in the cause of eduation. She now needed assistance, owinf o the terrible devastation caused by the ecent earthquake. The income of the fund for the yeai amounted to $62,360, of which South Caro ina received $5,000. ? ? Union Times: The trial of the State vs. >V. E. Kay, G. W. Fowler and H. A. May. or murder, took up nearly the whole o; Wednesday last. Conclusive evidence VinvL'f?fi thof thp Irillino- of the deceased was >urely unintentional, or without malice or he part of the prisoners. The jury was oul ifteen minutes and brought in a verdict o; lot guilty. The verdict was fully expected >y all who heard the evidence or knew the lature of the case, and the verdict was conidorcd a just one. THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. ] 7 There are two Constitutional amendments 1 * to be voted on at the general election the |1 f 2nd of November. r The first is to amend Article IX, Section 3 M, and reads as follows: s Any debt contracted by the State shall be ' by loan on State bonds, or stock, of amounts < - not less than $100 each, bearing interest - payable semi-annually, and payable within < 7 fifty years after the final passage of the law I ) authorizing such debt. , The only change contemplated by this ) i amendment is to make the bonds "not less - | than $100," instead of "not less than $50," as 1 the law now is; and tochange the time with- . r in which the debt is to be paid from 20 years 3 to 50 years. The only objection we can see 1 to the amendment is, that the long time re- ] r quired for paying a debt might be an in- , 3 ducement to the State to incur unnecessary j f obligations. , l The other proposed amendment is to 3 Article II and reads as follows: 1 Section 4. The House of Representatives { . shall consist of 124 members, to be appor- j tioned among the several counties according I j to the number of inhabitants contained in ' each. An enumeration of the inhabitants ! for this purpose shall be made in 1891, and shall be made in the course of every tenth year thereafter in such manner as shall be by law directed : Provided, That the General Assembly may at any time in its gliscretion adopt the immediately preceeding United States census as a true and correct enumeration of the inhabitants of the several counties, and make the apportionment and assignment of Representatives among the several counties according to said enumeration : Provided, however, This amendment shall not prevent the General Assembly from providing for an enumeration and apportionment prior to 1891 in the manner provided by law. The object of this amendment is to save > the expense of taking the census by adoptt ing the census of the United States.. The present Constitution provides for a census ' "in 1875 and every tenth year thereafter." Last year was the time prescribed by the } Constitution for taking the census for the purpose of reapportionment; but, as is well t known, the Constitution was ruthlessly vio. lated for the purpose of retaining a larger representation to some of the lower counties than they are entitled to. This proposed amendment does not prevent the taking of - the census at any time prior to 1891. We f believe the amendment is a good one; it i would save about $25,000 every tenth year; r and we believe it should be voted for.? [ Newberry Observer.

' /V LETTER FROM ROCK HILL. < | XrockHill, October 11.?A brilliant mar"/ riage took place in the Episcopal church at r this place on Wednesday evening last, the J contracting parties being Mr. Edward R. 1 Avery, a popular young man of our town, j and Miss Lucy, eldest daughter of the late i Col. J. M. Ivy. At the appointed hour, ' 9 P. M., the bridal party reached the church, which had been most beautifully decorated 1 with flowers and garlands. The party eni tered the church in the following order: The ushers, Messrs. J. E. Watson and S. L. f Avery, in advance, followed by Miss Mamie > Ivy and Master DuBose Avery, who open' ed the floral gates and admitted the bridal 3 party, the attendants being Miss Mecca r Avery and Dr. R.

Lowry, of Yorkville; j t Miss Alice Moore and Mr. Frel Mobley; I Miss Mattie Cooke, of Greensboro, N. C., i 3 and Mr. Frank O. London ; Miss Ella Twit- s 3 ty, of Lancaster, and Mr. Robert Frew; i i Miss Ella Avery and Mr. R. T. Fewell. < Then entered the bride, leaning on the I j arm of Mr. John R. London, who presented I ' her to the bridegroom at the chancel rail" ing, when the rector, Rev. Edmund N. i 1 Joyner, read the beautiful service which s . made them husband and wife. I The party then repaired to the residence < of the bride's mother, where a sumptuous < i repast was given. , I r On Thursday evening a reception was 1 j given them at the residence of Dr. E. T. i 4 Avery, in Ebenezer. Friday evening they ] ' took the train for an extended northern tour. 1 } The large number of persons who assein- ( - bled at the church evinced the high esteem < - in which the happy pair is held, the church j k being filled to its utmost capacity. The 1 { church yard was also filled with friends ] anxious to witness the ceremony. Mr. and i Mrs. Avery have the best wishes of our i * entire community.

Mr. and i - Mrs. Kimball have the best wishes of a host i - of friends for a happy and prosperous jour- * t ney through life. 1 * Ttte dust in our streets during the past < r . weeks has been almost unbearable, i * The merchants are compelled to keep their c t doors and windows closed, and pedestrians i * their eyes and mouths shut.

Yet the farmers < - say they are not getting full prices for their i I cotton, and the buyers say they are swap- f 7 ping dollars at the present prices. t A meat and oyster supper was served in i * Roddey's llall on Friday night for the ben- i 3 efit of the library. There was an abun- i 3 dance of everything good tc eat. i In my report of the stock show, I neg- I lected to mention Mr. W. S. Adams' three ' j leeered chicken. It is of Plymouth Itock i t strain, six months old, and lias three welli developed legs and feet, the third leg grow \ing out of one of the others at the thigh. f X$Iiss Miranda K. Fewell, of Ebenezer, i sister of the late Mr. Alexander Fewell, died on Friday last, in the 80th year of her i age. The funeral services were conducted 1 by the liev. J. H. Thornwell, after which - her remains were interred in the Ebenezer 1 cemetery. Mr. C. J. Pride, Jr., Deputy U. S. Mar) shal, returned from Albany, X. Y., on yes terday, having taken to the prison in that t city Sam Barber, colored, convicted, at the } last term of the U. S. Court at Greenville, of 1 uttering counterfeit silver dollars, and senr i tenced for two years. } Mr. Pride informs me that W. M. Henry, 3 who attempted the counterfeit greenback I game at this place last spring, and was sen tenced first to a term in the South Carolina | j penitentiary, at the expiration of which he : j is to serve a term in the Albany penitenti j ary, is now safely lodged in the former in: l stftution and has been assigned to work in j I the shoe shop, his duty being to cut the I pegs out of shoes. Hal. The Gallows.?Wright Weldon, colorored, was hanged at Edgefield Courthouse, S. C., last Friday, for the murddr of J. W. . 1 Lagrone, in 1874. The murder was com, mitted for the purpose of robbery, Mr. f Lagrone being on his return home from 5! Augusta, after having disposed of his cot- s 3 ton crop, and when within a short distance i ; of his house was assassinated and killed, and t his dead body robbed. Circumstances point- n f ed to Weldon as one of the perpetrators of \ [ | the deed. He was arrested in Aiken coun- i s ty last February, and at August term of J 1 Edgefield Court of Sessions, tried and con- \ ' victed, and on Friday paid the penalty of s his crime. He was cut down after hanging fifteen minutes. He made a statement several days ago implicating several others, *nd, while on the gallows, he reiterated that statement. He implicated five others, whom ho said helped to do the deed. Weldon was a copper colored negro, about 28 years old, and leaves a wife and six chilli ren. Nathan Mosely, a colored youth, 17 years 3ld, was hanged for murder at Union [ Springs, Alabama, on Friday. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. LETTER PROM CHESTER. Chester, October 11.?The Congressional primary election passed off quietly at this place. Only 375 ballots were cast at this precinct, and only 1,21G votes were cast in ;he county, being about 400 less than the lumber cast in the county primary election n August. In this county Hemphill has a najority of 912. ltev. Dr. It. H. Griffith, agent of Furman University, delivered an excellent address it tne isapnsiunurcn on last xuesuny mgub an the subject of higher education, as con:rolled by religious principles. He took ,he position and maintained it admirably lat education, unless so controlled only in'reased a man's power for wrong-doing, fie gave some striking illustrations in proof )f this position. As showing the necessity "or higher education he referred to the Congressional primary election held during the lay, and said that the ignorant as well as ;he educated were called upon to consider ind decide very important questions. He said that no people ever had graver and nore momentous issues to meet and decide ;han those of this generation, and that there ,vas no way for them to be met successfully aut by means of higher education under ;he influence of religfbds truth. In speakng of the endowment of Furman Universi:y he spoke confidently of his ability to ncrease the endowment from $20,000, the aresent amount, to $100,000. Mention was nade of the fine advantages afforded by ;his institution to the young men of the State for obtaining a good education. Before closing Dr. Griffith alluded in graceful ;erms to the great and self denying services )f Dr. James C. Furman in behalf of Furnan University. The Supreme Grand Lodge of the Grand Union Order of the National Laborers and Protective Society of America met at this alace on last Tuesday and was in session several days. This is a colored organiza:ion, and is certainly blessed with one advantage?a bountiful supply of name. The lelcgates formed in processicn on Friday, md robed in their conspicuous regalia, marched to the Fair grounds where they istened to an address from the orator of the lay, Rev. Ii. F. Martin, of Charlotte, N. C. rhe subject of his address was "organized and concentrated effort." There were adIresses from other prominent colored men. Hon. B. R. Tilman and Col. A. Coward will deliver addresses at the approaching Chester Fair, and will doubtless be favored with a big audience, as they are known to ae able and eloquent speakers. Farmers have made good use of the late aeautiful weather. They are rapidly get:ing out their cotton. Unfortunately it has nade no adv*ance during the past week. \f Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM FORT MILL. Fort Mill., S. C., October 11.?The Congressional primary has come and gone with i result very generally unexpected. Most leople here thought there would necessarily le another race to decide the matter of nomnation; and they were actually regretting such a necessity, so sure were they of it. It is good for the people that the race is deciled without a second ballot, for they have seen troubled enough. Five elections in ;hree months would be too much of freedom. Our people are deploring their present situation and future prospects. After so many short crops in succession and being thereby :hrown in debt, and being almost without jorn, they cannot see any way to continue iperations. The coming winter will probaily be the most trying one since the war. indeed, old citizens declare the outlook nore gloomy than in 1845. While our peoile cannot help sympathizing with our suffering fellow-citizens of Charleston, they an but feel that their situation is even more leplorable. Some one was telling me that Mr. W. H. Brawley and others had asked ;he Governor to call an extra session of the Legislature toinauguratesomesortof movement toward Charleston's relief. Does it :iot strike Mr. Brawley and others that the litizens of the rural districts have lost more n three years than his historic city? Charleston is a venerable name in our history; chivalry, romance, heroism, hospitality, patriotism and long-sutfering claim her is their home; and her name and fame are lear to every true Carolinian; but, if she leeds help, let her find it, (as she has found t) in the hearts and at the hands of loving ind appreciating individuals?not at the iold and cheerless hands and under the lower of the relentless tax-gatherer. Let Mr. Brawley and others have confidence in he love and svmnathv of Carolinians, and lot ask a compulsory beneficence where the voluntary article is obtainable. Besides, inder our system, the Legislature is poweress in the matter. The meeting at the Baptist church ended lere on Friday night. Mr. Faulkner was issisted by Mr. Fant, of Pineville. There was considerable interest in the meeting, md several names were added to the church roll. Mr. McKay, last week, finished a very interesting meeting at Pleasant Hill, in Lancaster county. Twenty-five persons oined the church. The Farmers' Club has not lately been leard from. Perhaps they have been waiting to meet in the town hall. That edifice is a magnificent building. The floor is concrete ; the sides all transparent; the roof, if dizzy height, is a grand arch, lined with i cerulean ceiling, and the whole is one nile square. There is room enough for several caucuses to be held at once without in;erfering. with each other, and the scenery extends as far as sightcan reach around and ibove. Now, Mr. Editor, if you do not come to see this structure, we shall always ;hink you ought. Do you not think a visit :o the "cut off" would be in order? Axon. National Crop Deport.?'The report )f the Washington Department of Agricultjre, issued last Saturday, says the cotton season has been variable in temperature ind the precipitation for the best clevelopnent and largest fruitage. It was too dry n Septemberon the Atlantic coast resulting n a further shedding of bolls. The boll vorrn has wrought local injury in the Gulf states and the caterpillar in a less degree, rhe weather has been comparatively favoriblefor picking except for the excessive heat mil for rains in the Mississippi vauey ana Texas. The season is late and risks of early 'rost are therefore greater than usual and iable to discount the present apparent conlition. In Georgia and Alabama the conlition is reported the same as last month. Tennessee makes a slight improvement. The C'arolinas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texts and Arkansas show a small reduction. The averages are: Virginia 72, North f Carolina?"), South Carolina 74, Georgia 81, Florida 85, Alabama 80, Mississippi 79, Louisiana, 79, Texas 74, Arkansas 86, Tenlesse 96. The average of condition is 79.31 igainst 80.1 last month, and 98 in October )f last year. It is six points below the Goober average of the crop of 1*879. Local estimates of the yield per acre in ractions of bales are made by correspond;nts subject to the vicissitudes of the later ;eason and especially the lateness of a killng frost. This must not, therefore be rated is official predictions of the result of the larvest. State averages are as follows: Virginia .32, North Carolina .27, South Car)lina .31, Georgia 30, Florida .27, Alabama 29, Missississippi .40, Louisiana .49, Texas 37, Arkansas .62, Tennessee .35.

C< . y< A SENSATION IN CLAY HILL. A letter from the Clay Hill section of this w county, informs us that on last Friday night, jjabout three miles from Clay Hill, Mr. Haw- th kins and a negro named Ned Set/.er discovered ti what they thought to be evidences of a murder. Stopping their wagon, they examined the surroundings and found a quantity of blood on the cc ground, and the marks on the ground of a body ol having been dragged over it feet foremost. This et trail was followed twenty-five yards, in the woods, to a log. On the log was also a good Q deal of blood, but nothing else was discovered, b< though on the side of the road near the spot d: indicated, they afterwards found a maul, used ft for riving boards, with the bloody print of a y< hand and fingers on the handle. After making known their discovery, several G parties have searched the woods, but no develop- cc ments have been made further than it was learn- C ed that on Saturday, a quantity of blood was seen Vi in the same road, two miles distant, near a negro b< church called Liberty Hill, at the foot of McCol- P( lum's Mountain. Here all trace of the deed of ^ of blood, if such it is, was lost, though the excitement ^f the^iflfair has not yet subsided. T /^PAINFUL ACCIDENTS. ai On Friday last, Mr. Thomas Harten, an elder- r( ly gentleman living near the Pinckney road, it about five miles south-west of town, was en- tl gaged in moving some driftwood from a creek h< un his farm. He was in the stream, gathering a] up the debris that had been deposited along the Ol creek by the freshets of last summer, and after finishing the work attempted to leave the creek by climbing a rough bank of some ascent, and when about half way up the bank he lost his tl support and fell backward, breaking his thigh, t} Dr. W. G. White was summoned and rendered li the necessary surgical attention. C( On Xnnrlnv nftornnnn mi r townsman. Mr. J. Of Ed. Jefferys, met with a painful accident. In 6J company with a friend he walked across from G his house to the new residence being erected f*1 near Major Hart's by Mr. J. A. Watson. His 11 companion proposed to go up into the attic by n' means of a ladder, and he went up safely, when 11 Mr. Jefferys started, but when about half way ^ the length of the ladder a rung broke and he ' fell down in a nearly perpendicular line, his left jj arm catching over the rung immedialely under ^ the broken one, which had the effect of sprain- ft] ing the shoulder and seriously contusing the n side. He, too, is an elderly gentleman, and it ? was first thought that he was seriously hurt; tl but Dr. R. Andral Bratton, his attending pby- ? sician, informs us that he doing very well. is ^CONGRESSIONAL PRIMARY ELECTION. | /XJn Monday, the 5th instant, a Congressional q primary election was held in this Congressional district, composed of Chesterfield, Chester, jj Kershaw, Lancaster, and York counties, and the r( townships of White Plains and Limestone S| Springs, in Spartanburg, and Goudeysville and gj Draytonville townships, in Union county.
