? A boy in Vermontville, Mich., found a
bee tree, but the owner would not let him
cut it down. Finally he got leave to cut ofl
the limb, sixty feet from the ground and six
inches in diameter, containing the honey.
This he accomplished by firing seventy-five
tolls from a rifle through the limb.
? The fourteenth annual book of cotton
statistics compiled by Messrs. Latham,

crop from nearly 2,000 correspondents
throughout the Southern States. The summary
of estimates wakes the total crop ol
this year 6,292,708 bales.

? The President has granted a pardon tc
Charles Thomas, colored, who was serving a
life sentence in the West Virginia penitentiary
for the murder of his wife's lover it
Arkansas about ten years ago. The pardon
was issued on the recommendation of Judge
Parker, of Arkansas, before whom the case
was tried, and because of the mitigating
circumstances surrounding the crime.
? How easily a distinguished man maj
drop out of public affairs and be forgotten
ie seen in the case of Senator Yulee, oi
Florida, who died the other day in New
York. Mr. Yulee was the first man to represent
the State of Florida in the United
States Senate. He was a bold advocate o]
secession and an active member or me confederate
Congress. With all his distinction
he had passed out of sight and few remembered
him.
?A radical thinker among the Knights
of Labor, in session in annual convention
in Richmond, talking to a Philadelphis
correspondent, admitted that the receul
troubles caused by attempting to force social
equality would hurt the order in the Soutti

will make tremendous accessions from the
blacks. We expect to make many converts
among the colored people on the
Southern plantations this year. This class

?*A queer state of affairs seeftis to exist ir
New York respecting bail bonds.. There ii
nothing in the law, according to the distric
attorney, to prevent a man from entering
bail in criminal case, giving as security cer
tain real estate, and then selling the rea
estate so as to make the bail valueless to th<
city. Under the convenient arrangemen
one of the "boodle" aldermen has succeed
ed in escaping to Canada without a sacrific*
of his bondsman's property. An attempt ii
to be made to have the transier of property
in this case set aside as Iraudulent, but th<

of the prospect of getting a decision in favo:
of the city.
? The 28th day of October, now definitely
agreed upon as that on which the dedicatioi
of the famous statute "Liberty Enlighten

world, as completed, the most gigantii
statue in bronze that exists or has existe<
upon the globe. The military and civic dis
plays will be on a scale to correspond witl
the work of art, and will doubtless draw t<
the metropolis hundreds of thousands o
visitors from every section of the country
All arrangements for the ceremonies ar

? The death of Senator Pike has already
had its effect on New Hampshire politics
which like that of other States, is tosse<

will hold office only until the next Legisla
ture meets, which will be in June. It i
said that Mr. Pike could have returne<

the factions, and a long contest may result
The friends of ex-Governor Cheney, who i
expected to receive the Governor's appoint
ment, and W. E. Chandler, whose aim an<
hope is to once again gain control of affair
in his State, have already begun the pre
liminary skirmishing among the Legisla

-* The United States Supreme Court begai
its session this week with a docket which i
would take about three years to dispose of
if no cases should be added during that pe
riod. In other words, a case put upon tin
calendar to-dayxmust wait about three year
before being reached for consideration
Such delay pratically amounts to a denia
of justice. For this evil, Congress is ti
blame. Relief of the Federal judiciary ha
long and loudly been demanded by the peo
pie, the Bar and the press. A bill embody
ing a carefully devised and generally ap
proved plan was first brought before Con
gress several years ago, but has been allow
ed to fail through unwarranted political op
position or Congressional indifference, li
consequence of this neglect all persons hav
ing business in the Supreme and other Fed
eral Courts are subjected to needless delay
vexation and cost.
?An Ottawa dispatch says that althougl
the Canadian Government denies that then
is any indication of trouble with the Bloo<
and Piegan Indians, it is evident that thi
greatest precaution only can prevent a con
flict. It will be remembered that two day
before the Northwest rebellion broke out thi
government contradicted the statement tha
the Northwest was in a ferment and tha
an uprising was imminent. These denial
now that there is a disposition on the par
of the Bloods to go on the warpath is like
ly to prove of equally as much value
Private advices fully corroborate the pub
lished reports. The Bloods, in the absene
of their chief, are making active prepara
tionstogo on the warpath against the In
dians in Montana, and the settlers on botl
sides of the international boundary lim
are terror stricken at the prospect of ai
Indian war.
? A gale visited Buffalo, N. Y., las
Thursday night, doing great damage. Thi
wind reached a velocity of seventy mile
an hour. On the lake front in the vicinity
of what is known as Seawall, forty smal
houses were totally destroyed by wind an(
water, and several persons perished. Thi
bodies of two children were recovered Fri
day morning, and also two bodies which an
unknown. Twenty or thirty families an
rendered destitute, and an appeal for aic
has been issued. Many buildings are dam
aged in the city. The most serious dam
age was sustained by the splendid musit
hall in course of construction. A large sec
tion of the rear wall, which was nearlj
ready for the roof, was blown down with i
terrific crash, shaking houses in the vicini
ty like an earthquake.
? A Danville, Va., dispatch of Moudaj
says: Some time ago Lucas Mottley's bodj
was found at the foot of a precipice in Nortr
Danville. Strong evidence was collected
V- *
pointing to murder. Not long afterward I
John J. Mclntyre was killed by negro at
night. John D. Robinson, a merchant of
North Danville was the chief instrument
in workiqg up the case against Mottl6y's
. supposed murderers, and a week ago he received
an anonymous letter from a negro reminding
him of the death of Mottley and
Mclntyre, and warning him to look out for
1 himself. Yesterday morning about 4 o'clock
Robinson's store was burned and no doubt
i it was fired by an incendiary. Cireum,
stances point to a conspiracy on the part of
a band of negroes, against the whites,
though the masses of whites and blacks live
i on the most peaceable terms.

> SWEPT AWAY BY THE FLOOD.
1 The town of Sabine Pass, at the mouth of i
j the Sabine river, the dividing line between j
, Louisiana and Texas, has been destroyed by '
? a terrific storm that swept over that section
* on Tuesday of last week, and more than
> ninety people are known to have been i
drowned in the "rush of waters that subr
merged the place. Telegraphic and all
i other communication has been cut off, but
f from the town of Beaumont, twenty-eight
' miles distant, have been learned details of
the appalling disaster. Two citizens of the ,
I stricken town left Sabine on a locomotive j
F and reached Beaumont at a late hour Tues
day night. They were obliged to row a ,
i small boat across an expanse of tossing
iin^APo n rlic-fonna r\f cnroro 1 miloc frnm thd

town of Sabine to the railroad track. They
5 say the waters began to invade Sabine Pass
i from the gulf and the lake together about 1
i, 2 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon and rose
t with unprecedented rapidity. The citizens
I did not realize the imminent danger until
i it was too late to escape. When safety by (
? flight was out of the question the people
) who were situated so they could do it betook ,
. themselves to the higher points, where they
? believed they were safe. The water kept ,
s rising and between 3 and 4 o'clock Tuesday '
afternoon the smaller houses began to yield (
^ to the resistless force of the waves and not ,
' only moved them from their foundations,
> but turned them over on their sides and
> tops.
? A little later the larger houses began to
give way and death by drowning seemed
? in store for every person in the place.
\ With the yielding of the smaller houses
several persons who had remained in them
5 were drowned, their residences and busir
ness places began to crumble and the death
1 list swelled to appalling proportions.
It is said that the situation during the
latter part of the afternoon was of the most
distressing character. The terror and agony
of the people looking face to face at
death and realizing that there was no es[
cape; the dying cries of women, audible,
f but rendered almost noiseless by the roar
* of the mad sea; the hoarse voices of men
" trying to save those near to them, all comj
bined, made a scene too horible to be de,
scribed. During the overflow, a hotel con,
taining fifteen or twenty persons was swept
t out into the bay and all the occupants were
drowned.
A Lake Charles special says: the loss of
property along the Cameron Parish Gulf
Coast and for some distance west of Sabine
1 Pass by the storm of Tuesday night was
3 fearful. The mail-boat from Cameron parc
ish reports that the water at Calcasieu pass
' was eight feet deep at the light house and
: that the entire country east and west was
| submerged Tuesday night, drowning thou3
sands of cattle and ruining crops. No lives
c were lost at Leesburg or Calcasieu Pass, but
I at Johnson's Bayou, La., seven entire fam3
ilies and many individuals, whose names
3 have not been obtained, are known to be
[ lost.
3 A Beaumont, Texas, dispatch of Friday
* ?ays: The steamer L. Q. C. Lamar, which
r left Orange at ten o'clock on Wednesday
night for Sabine Pass with a relief com mi tr
tee on board, returned here at midnight last
l night and reported that one hundred and
- one persons are missing at Sabine Pass, of
- whom ninety are known to have been
1 drowned. The committee consisted of twen3
ty citizens from Beaumont and forty from
c Orange. They made the perilous passage
i up the Neehes river between 4 P. M. and
- midnight and left twenty-five of their num1
ber at Sabine Pass to make attempts to re3
cover some of the bodies, many of which
f are reported to have been washed dozens of
. miles over iuto Louisiana. Those who ree
turned here were so exhausted by their exertions
and sickened by the terrible specrr
tacle of devastation and death they had
, witnessed that they were not able until toj
day to tell a coherent story. They found
_ also near Sabine Pass the rescuing parties
s that had gone down on the East Texas and?3
Sabine Railroad, but could not get within
_ twelve miles of the afflicted,-because of the
s back water from the gulf and lake that is
j hemmed in and held by the railroad erns
bank men t.
Every possible effort to succor the suffer3
ers is being made. The details of the dis.
aster are appalling. The Gulf of Mexico
I seems to have moved over the land for
s mi es in one high and unbroken wall of
_ water. Of the 00 drowned at the Pass 35
. were white and 55 colored. Joseph Smith,
a famous local character, known as "Alligator
Smith," was supposed to be among the
t lost, as people on the relief train saw him
. driving, before the gale on Lake Sabine at |
' the rate of twenty-five miles an hour, cling- |
' ing to his skiff and calling loudly for help, j
, Great was the surprise, therefore, when !
"Alligator" overhauled the steamer on its I
j return, bringing with him in his small boat.
_ three persons whom he had rescued in a i
swamp. Many other miraculous escapes
? are recorded. Ninety-one half-clad, shiv- i
* ering, wretched victims of the storm were
~ brought up on the Lamar, blankets and
j bedding were immediately gathered from
~ house to house for the comfort of the heart|
broken sufferers, every one of whom has
" some dear friend or relative among the dead.
Nearly all the refugees are sick and pros"
trated from exhaustion and hunger. They
are being tenderly cared for by citizens of,
' Beaumont. Dr. B. F. Calhoun, one of the [
relief committee, says there are many per*
sons in the vicinity of Sabine Pass who are
~ utterly destitute, Deing wunout ciotning to
1 cover their nakedness.
e From all the accounts gathered language
" i could not exaggerate the state of affairs at
s Sabine Pass. Out of more than 150 houses
? in the village less than six remain standing,
J and they are ruined. Wives and children !
1 were swept away and drowned in the pres- [
? ence of their husbands and fathers, who !
1 were powerless to save them. The waves i
" broke against the lighthouse in solid walls !
!* fifty feet high, tearing out the windows at j
" the very top of the structure.
e Corpses have been picked up at a distance
of thirty miles from the scene of the disas*
ter. Friends and relatives of the drowned
H residents are coming into Orange and Beau3
mont by every tram. The damage at Sa-!
1 bine, including that to the government I
works, will aggregate nearly $500,000. \t
The New Orleans Tunes-Democrat pub- j
B lishes a dispatch from Johnson's Bayou, !
3 dated Saturday night, which says:
f The village of Johnson's Bayou is a high
1 ridge on the sea coast, and the bayou from
1 which it takes its name runs through the I
? inhabitable parts of that section, in which !
- is also situated a postoffice station known as !
- Radford. They are in Cameron Parish, on !
3 the Louisiana shore, six miles east of Sabine
1 Pass. The bayou is nineteen miles in length,
- and varies from 1 to 4 miles in width. The
- ridges face the Gulf twelve feet above the j
2 sea level, and in the rear is a dense and im-,
penetrable marsh. The population on last j'
? Tuesday morning numbered 1,200 souls; to-,
1 day 85 of that number are counted with the 1
dead. Forty of their bodies have been re- j
covered and consigned to graves in the shell 1
r reefs, while the decomposing corpses of the ;
7 remaining 45 lie festering in the marshes,
i Radford was very thickly settled and pop- (
I ulou? It boasted of its cotton gin and cot- j
on and cane plantations; it was the head
>f navigation, and its stores were many,
erincipally those run by J. Paveto, who
ilso operated a gin and turned out annually
$00 bales of cotton produced in that section.
Jther stores were operated by a few general
merchandise dealers, who constituted the
commercial community. Cotton and sugar
ire the chief products of the ridges, which
ire composed of the richest and most fertile
^razingcountry. The parish had 8,000 head
)f cattle and horses owned by the thriving
community. Communication with theoutter
world was through two steam vessels,
30th owned in Johnson's Bayou and Radford,
while fleet tiding vessels plied the
waters of the bayou. At 4 o'clock Friday
ifternoon a storm descended upon the bayou,
the waters rising with the wind, swept
through the lower stories of buildings, driving
the affrighted people into attics and
ipon roofs. By 10 o'clock the first ridge,
twelve feet above the sea level, was ten feet
jnder water. House after house fell in or
was swept away, either burying the doomed
people in the debris or hurling them into
the waters. The cotton gins and stores
lext succumbed, and Radford and John
son's Bayou were destroyt?u ms cuhijmcici^
is if an invading army had done the work.
It was a night of terror, described by survivors
as appalling. People could ouly
cling to each other and pray for mercy and
for the souls of those whose despairing
shrieks rang in their ears. For twelve
hours the storm raged over the devastated
settlements and then came a lull.
Hope revived as the waters receded and
the storm passed away, and the survivors
gathered on elevated points, viewing the
3cene of desolation ground them. Houses
that stood the action of the storm were completely
gutted. There was no food or drink,
the salt water having invaded everything.
Then there began a search for the dead, and
those whose bodies lay pinioned by the
ruins of houses, were speedily recovered.
From out of the marshes more corpses were
taken and likewise buried.
During the morniDg the regular packet
3tern-wheel steamer Etnily P. arrived at
Johnson's Bayou, and brought to Orange as
many persons as she could carry, in all
aboutsixty. Notoneofthem hadanything
but what they stood in ; many were minus
hats, shoes, coats and dresses. Their wants,
however, were promptly supplied by the
^ood people of tnis place, and the refugees
made comfortable for the night.
To-morrow'the steamers Emily P. and
Lark will return to the bayou and make
regular trips until all are brought to a place
of safety.
The people, save the few who have large
stock interests, say they have abandoned
the place forever. They are descendants of
a race of people who, in the past, made
Johnson's Bayou a vast orange grove. Frost
came and ruined them, and then they turned
to cotton, sugar and stock, only to meet
the fate of their forefathers. Of the eight
thousand head of stock which once the
bayou boasted, six thousand are drowned,
while the remainder will die of thirst, as all
the water is salt.
There is no estimating the loss, as there is
no way of ascertaining valuations ; hence
it is sufficient to say tnat tne towns are destroyed
and abandoned.
A Galveston dispatch of Monday says that
a relief committee just returned to that city
are unanimous in their statement regarding
the absolute destitution of the survivors.
They say they never saw such suffering for
the necessaries of life as exists atSabine and
Johnson's Bayou. The committee ascertained
that the total number of persons who
lost their lives was 112. Of these G4 were
colored and 38 whites. OnlyGl bodies have
thu9 far been recovered and buried. Scores
of searching parties continue to hunt for the
bodies of missing friends.
From Beaumont comes the intelligence
that a new danger seems to have sprung up
in the vicinity of Sabine that has scared the
searchers for the unfortunates. The cattle
have become dangerous, wild animals. The
watering pools have been filled with sea
water, and the cattle are wild with thirst.
Saturday evening a steer chased three men
who were walking along the edge of the
bayou, and would probably have killed them
if they had not succeeded in reaching their
boat. When tl^e steer saw he had failed,
lie seemed to become more furious, plowing
up the sand with his horns, and bellowing
loudly,
Intelligence has also reached Beaumont
that a great gale swept over the country,
forty miles north of Beaumont and Orange,
reaching the seat of Jasper county, and damaging
cotton badly. Several houses in that
region were demolished, but no loss of life
occurred north of the Southern Pacific Railroad.

LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.
Rock Hill, October 18.?Some of our citizens
are interested in establishing a stock
farm near this place for the purpose of raising
thoroughbred stock of all kinds. At a
meeting of those interested in the movement,
held last Wednesday, it was decided
to organize a company and open books of
subscription at once. The value of the
shares "will be $50 each, and it is proposed
to commence business with a capital stock
of $5,000. A number of shares have already
been taken. It is hoped that the company
will be organized. The projectors are meeting
with much encouragement.
_-A"meetingof the stockholders of the Rock
Hill Academy was held on Friday last, the
object being to elect trustees and to devise
means for repairing the academy building,
which is in a dilapidated condition. Messrs.
J. R. London, A. Friedheim, J. Lawrence
Moore and J. V. McFadden were elected
trustees. These gentlemen will confer with
the trustees of the school district and make
arrangements to have the necessary repairs
made. Our town certainly needs a good
school building.
Mary Hughes, colored, who came to this
place from Charlotte about six months ago,
died quite suddenly this morning from
hemorrhage of the lungs. She was in the
employ of Mr. W. A. Steele. This morning
she got up and started out of the house,
but on reaching the door she fell and expired
in a few moments. Trial Justice
Fewell was notified of the occurrence, but
deemed an investigation unnecessary.
Carrie Houser, a colored girl, was arrested
on last Monday, charged with stealing a diamond
ring from Mrs. A. E. Hutchison.
She was given a preliminary hearing before
Trial Justice Fewell, and in default
of bail in the sum of $200 was committed
to jail at Yorkville. When arrested she
had the ring in her mouth. She had been
1 1 ii.. e. :i.. ur.,i?u:
employed III lilt? muuiy UI nuam*
son as a nurse and must have stolen the
ring some weeks before the loss was discovered.
,
^Messrs. It. T. Fewell & Co. are soon to
commence work on a telephone lino between
their store in this place and the residence
of their father, Mr. A. F. Fewell in
Ebenezer, a distance of two miles. The instruments
have been received and as soon
as the wire arrives and the posts can be put
up ltock Hill will have a telephone. It is
hoped that the line will eventually'be extended
to Yorkville.
Rev. E. N. Joyner, Chaplain of the Catawba
Rifles, preached to the company in
the Episcopal church last night. The chaplain
threw hotshot into their ranks, and if
they are not good men as well as soldiers,
it will be no fault of their chaplain, and
only because they did not follow the good
advice given by him.
Mr. John Rattaree is rebuilding his stables
on his lot on Railroad street. On the
lot where his stables formerly stood he will
build three cottages to rent.

A HOAX.
The cause for the excitement in the Clay Hill
section, published by us last week, proves to
have been a clever hoax, perpetrated by a good
citizen for what he conceived to be a desirable
object; but thet schema went farther than he
intended. While our informant wrote in good
faith, the entire neighborhood was in a high
state of excitement for several days before the
"mystery" was explained.

STATE WEATHER SERVICE.
Shortly after General Hazen assumed charge
of the Signal Service of the United States, in
1881, ho inaugurated a plan to increase the usefulness
of the Signal Service, and to disseminate,
systematically, weather statistics and forecasts
over larger areas of country. This plan was to
organize and establish an independent weather
service in each State to collect and utilize local
climatic data. In this way the number of observers
being increased, the climatic data in each
State could be collected and summarized, and
thus rendered accessible to everybody interested
in the climate of the State, and especially agriculturists.
Lack of funds prevented the Signal Service
from issuing the necessary instruments to the
State services, and it was suggested that the
State governments bo charged with the organization
of the services. This idea met with much
encouragement. State weather services were established
in several States, and the results therefrom
arc so satisfactory as to load to tho belief
that this State will, before long, have established
a weatner service.
Through the efforts of Col. A. P. Butler, State
Commissioner of Agriculture, and with the cooperation
of Gen. Hazen, Chief Signal Oflicer, a
weather service will be organized in this State,
with correspondents in each county. Mr. Clarence
M. Kuykendal will act as observer for
Yorkville, and will enter upon the service as
soon as the instruments for the purpose arrive.
In order to extend the benefits of tho weather
warnings, the special indications for South Carolina
for the ensuing thirty-two hours, as received
at Columbia from the oflico of the Chief
Signal Oflicer at Washington, D. C., will bo distributed
from the central office to various points
in the State by telegraph, and the observers
will display the warnings by means of flags,
thus giving information to the public. To cover
as much of the State as possible, it is proposed
to secure tho co-operation of the railroads
of the State. They will carry the signals on tho
baggage cars of tho trains, and thus distribute
the weather indications to tho people living
along their lines.
Tho following is a description of the flags and
their indications:
No. 1?White plain square flag, which signifies
fair or clear weather.
Xo. 2?Orange colored flag, which denotes local
rains.
Xo. .'{?Blue flag, signifying general rain.
Xo. 4?A Black triangular flag denoting tho
l/CIltpV/iatuiv
o. 5?A plain white ilag with a black square
in i'.e centre, which is the cold wave signal.
No. 4 refers only to temperature. When displayed
above tho flags Nos. 1, 2, or 3, it signifies
a rise in temperature; when below them a fall
of temperature; when absent from the staff,
stationary temperature.
No. 5 always refers to decidedly colder weather
is hoisted 24 hours in advance of the fall in
temperature. It is not ordered unless tho fall
is expected to reach 45? F., or below.
Theso signals cost 8(5.01 per set and any busi
ness firm or person who wishes to display the
signal can obtain a set. The indications will he
furnished them free. Any information desired
can be obtained from the Commissioner of Agriculture.

LETTER FROM CHESTER.
Chester, October 18.?Major. W. Z.
Leitner, candidate for Secretary of State;
Gen. M. L. Bonham, Jr., candidate for the office
of Adjutant-General, and Congressman
J. J. Hemphill spoke at this place on last
Tuesday. The first two of the gentlemen
named confined their remarks to the consideration
of State issues, while the latter
gave his views on important national questions.
Hon. John P. Richardson, candidate
for Goyernor, was in town and would
also have spoken had not a sudden attack
of sickness, prevented him. The Sandy
River band enlivened the occasion with inspiring
music. Major Leitner, who was the
first speaker, devoted considerable time to
the brilliant achievements of Sumter and
his brave band in rescuing the State from
the hands of the British. He said that every
schoolboy ought to be familiar with
these achievements and thus have a greater
lr?vo nnH rfivprpnpp for the memories of the
heroes of these achievements. As they were
successful in winning Anglo-Saxon liberty,
he thought the white people of the State
should preserve it. In his opinion the suffering
of a thousand deaths was preferable
to another experience of radical rule. Pie
thought the officers of the State should be
held to a rigid responsibility. If they proved
recreant to the trusts committed to tnem,
they should be dismissed from office. But
this must be done by Democrats within the
pale of the Democratic party.
The next speaker was General M. L.
Bonham, who, after making a graceful allusion
to Major T. S. Mills, one of his competitors
for the office of Adjutant General,
entered upon the work of showing to his
hearers the necessity of supporting and
maintaining the militiaof the State. Emergencies,
he said, sometimes arose that required
the co-operation of the State troops
with the civil force for the preservation of
peace and order of society.
Congressman Hemphill, the next and
last speaker, confined his remarks to a discussion
of national questions. The facts
and figures presented by him showed conclusively
the absolute necessity for a revision
of the tariff.
The number of bales of cotton shipped
from this place during last month was 213;
the number shipped from this place including
receipts from Narrow Gauge Railroads,
was 546. The number of bales shipped
from this place during this month up to the
14th instant, amount to 540 bales; the whole
number of Chester shipments, including receipts
from Narrow Gauge Railroads, during
the same period of this month, amount
to 1,480 bales. Not more than 10 bales were
shipped to Charleston; the balance went
northward.
Mr. D. P. Crosby, who lives near the
Chester and Fairfield line, lost by an incendiary
fire, a few days ago, his gin house,
grist and saw mill, and six bales of cotton.
He had no insurance on the property destroyed.
Two colored men have been arrnuforl
anrl imnrisnnPfl. l-har^ed With the
incendiary act.
Mr. Henry Moffatt, of our county, lost one
of his children last week.
The Circuit Court met here this morning,
Judge Aldrich presiding. The charge of
his Honor to the grand jury was brief, for
the reason that they were supposed to be so
familiar with their duties as to make any
further instructions unnecessary. He simply
called their attention to the existence
of two evils, one of which was the great
delay of witnesses and jurors in getting
their money; the other was the sending of
children to the penitentiary. He urged
the establishment of reformatory institutions
for youthful criminals.
The first case tried was that of Vess
Douglas, colored, charged with larceny.
The defendant will in all probability share
the destiny of the majority of his race
against whom indictments are brought for
the commission of crimes?viz.: confinement
in the penitentiary.
The only case of importance to be tried
this week is that of the State vs. McCollum,
charged with murder. >r.

Fort Mill, October 18.?"No news is
good news" the proverb saith ; but the article
of good quality is very scarce about here.
The weather last week, was favorable for
picking cotton, but not a great deal was
gathered; most farmers concluded to wait
another week and try to get it all at once.
A sad accident occurred while some people
were returning from Flint Hill on yesterday.
Mr. Grider, from the Childs place,
had been attending preaching at Flint Hill,
and was on his way home, when, about
two miles north of this place, his horse got
unmanageable and began running and kicking.
Mrs. T. J. McCorkle was thrown from
the buggy, and had one bone of her arm
broken. Mr. Grider's five year old child
received a kick from the horse which fractured
the skull above the left eye. Dr.
Massey took out a piece of bone about as
large as a half-dollar, but he found the brain
injured, and, of course, the child's situation
is critical; though it is quite bright
this morning.
Your correspondent felt a shake yestermorning
which lasted about two hours and
caused him more trouble than all the quakes
of the season. Hence this brevity is not
only commendable, but necessary.

former was in the employ of Mr. Crosby
last Spring, but was discharged. Ike admits
that he lit a match and saw it ignite, but became
alarmed and did not give the alarm.
Fair denies knowing anything about the
matter until he saw the house burning.

? In October, 1884, G. W. Hamilton,
James A. Hamilton and Perry J. Hamilton,
of Edgefield, were convicted of manslaughter
and sentenced by Judge Wallace to two
years' imprisonment in the county jail and
to pay a fine of $255.50 each, and in the
event of non payment of fine to be kept in
jail one year longer. Early in the Spring
Perry J. Hamilton was pardoned on account
of bad health. Last Friday Governor Sheppard
remitted the fine and the years' imprisonment,
and on Sunday they were set at
liberty.
The cotton picking machine of the
Mason Cotton Harvest Company, invented
by C. T. Mason, of Sumter, was tested on
the 13th instant in a field in the presence of
committees from the New York cotton exchange
and Charleston exchange, and representatives
of the State agricultural department.
The machine picked cotton at the
rate of 180 pounds per hour without injuring
the bolls or plants. The general opinion of
those present is that the machine is correct
in its principles, does fairly good work now,
and can be made completely successful.
?In Barnwell county last Saturday E. J.
Howell killed his brother E. K. Rowell.
They had intended to go fishing together,
when they became involved in a quarrel.
E. J. Rowell cursed his brother and dared
him to advance upon him, when the wife
of the murdered man interposed and succeeded
in taking her husband away. The
quarrel was resumed by E. J. Rowell, who
had secured a gun. He again cursed his
brother, who tore away from his wife and
started to advance upon E. J. Rowell, who
fired. The brother fell almost in the arms
of his wife and died in a few hours. The
murderer was arrested.
? A Charleston dispatch of Monday says:
There Have been no shocks since last Friday
morning, and the city is very quiet, though
active in business circles. The relief committee
so far has authorized the repairs on
844 houses of persons unable to do the work
without assistance, but the amount granted
in every case excluded plastering. Four
contractors engaged by the committee are
at work examining the damages to property,
concerning which applications have been
made, and the committee act promptly upon
every report made to them. The committee

was taken out before Trial Justice Peterson
on Monday charging Daniel Adams, a young
' white man, and Lewis Hendrix, an old
negro, with the crime. They were arrested
and committed to jail Monday evening.
On Tuesday Mrs. Longshore, the wife of
Mr. Madison Longshore and mother of
young Adams, was arrested on the same
charge and committed to jail. Lewis Boozer
stated at the preliminary examination
that Mrs. Longshore had tried to hire him
to burn the ginhouse, and that he saw Mrs.
Longshore and her son Daniel Adams set

Friday, destroyed property to the amount
of $500,000 and threw 2,000 people out of
work. At Monticello, 111., last Thursday
morning about two hundred disguised
men overpowered the sheriff and broke
into the jail and took therefrom Henry
Wildman, the wife murderer, and hanged
him to a small shade tree near the jail.
After hanging him they shot him eleven
times to make sure of their work. Fifty
thousand new buildings have been erected
in New York City during the past twenty
years. The New Orleans Exposition is
practically bankrupt and is unable without
assistance to send back the paintings loaned

There was a lively fall of snow
in several parts of Rockland county, N. Y.,

Territory state that the most extensive and
destructive tires ever known in that Territory
are sweeping over the prairies. The
business portion of Salisbury, Md., was destroyed
by tire Sunday night, involving a
loss of over a million dollars.
The Generous North.?Whatever harm
the earthquake may have done old Charles
ton it has cone tne country minute guou.
The generosity of the North has gone
further to reconstruct a union of hearts and
a union of hands than has existed for fifty
years. The truth is plain to the whole
country that South Carolina on the one
hand emphasizes those views and those
traits of character which are most repugnant
to the Northern people as a rule;
whilst on the other hand she has always
largely in some respects commanded the
undivided admiration of the whole country.
It is nobly done then when the North, in
a period of sore trouble in that city which
most completely represents our most objectionable
as well as our most admirable
traits, should choose to remember rather
those things they admire in us and come
generously to the relief of the old city as
though it were Boston or Philadelphia or
New York.
South Carolina, cannot afford to forget
this conduct. There has been no North
and no South, no Democrat and no Republican,
in this splendid generosity. It has
I been the people of one blood, one country
und one future coming together in full fellowship,
once more.
Southron as we are in every fibre of our
heart, we uncover before such conduct as
this, and accept it for once and accept it
forever as closing past issues between the
estranged sections of a common country
now and forever.?Columbia Register.

Westmoreland Bros.?Gentlemen : I have very
thoroughly tested your Calisaya Tonic, and do
not hesitate to pronounce it a most remedial
agent. As a stomachic and general tonic it is
unsurpassed. For eliminating malarial poisons
from tne system and repairing their deleterious
effects; for rebuilding, reinvigorating and giv
ingtone to the system when reduced by protracted
or severe fevers' or other debilitating causes,
there is in my judgment no other preparation in
the whole field of medicines equal to it. But especially
is it useful in malarial disorders, both
as a curative and a prophylactic. _ /

using it up to the present, it has given
satisfaction on every job on which I applied it.
I can truly say to the world that it is the cheap

Of the efficacy of Kuykendal's Chill Pills.
They not only stop the Chills, but they act
On the liver, tone up the sluggish system, give
Vigorous appetite and make new, rich and
healthy blood.
Your Attention, Please.

any caso of chills, no matter of how long standing.
In case of failuro the price will be cheerfully
refunded.
Not a Cent
Have we ever been called upon to pay back on
account of the failure of Kuykendal's Chill Pills
to do all we claim for them. Price one cent a
pill. Can be had only of Ivuykendal.
