SOUTH CAUOL1XA NEWS. ? The residence of Mr. F. M. Galbraith, of Chester, was destroyed by fire on Sunday morning of last week. Only a small portion of the fiirniture and household effects were saved. ? Dr. S. E. feabcock, of Chester, aged 68 years, died last Sunday morning of paralysis. During the war he was surgeon of the Sixth regiment of South Carolina volunteers. He leaves a wife and two sons. One son is Dr. James W. Babcock, superintendent of the Lunatic asylum, and the other, Mr. W. F. Babcock, is sec re tan,- and treasurer of the Chester Manufacturing company. ? The town of Orangeburg was visited by a severe wind and hail storm last Sunday. Fences were blown down, several houses were unroofed, and the court house square, as well as portions of the street, were filled with all manner of debris. The steeple of the Methodist church was blown down and the Baptist church building was also damaged. An old colored woman, who happened to be in the Methodist church, died from fright. ? From Williamsburg county comes reports of a series of terrific tornadoes during the past few days, accompanied by heavy rain and destructive hail. Houses were unroofed and blown down, trees uprooted, and crops of all kinds totally dest roved. A prominent planter of Charleston says that even the earthquake did not show more com plete destruction. Hail drifted until it was three feet deep iu the fence corners. No loss of life is reported, although a number of persons were more or less seriously injured. ? Columbia Register: John McLure, one of the colored employees of the Haile gold mine, three miles from Kershaw, met with a fearful death last Wednesday while being carried down to his work on the "skip car." It seems that he received a death-blow from some obtruding rock. He was a good hand and had been in the employ of this company about ten years. An inquest was held over his body by Trial Justice S. L. Gardner, with the finding that he came to his death accidentally. ? Probably the first instance in this State of sheep dying from hydrophobia is on record in Anderson county. Some time ago four sheep belonging to S. S. Cartee, who lives in the Slabtown section of Anderson county, were bitten by a mad dog. Mr. Cartee put them in a pen and kept them for nine days. They then began to show symptoms of hydrophobia. The usually docile and meek animals snapped, kicked and butted at everything. When sticks were put through the cracks of the pen the animals seized and tenaciously held them. The sheep were killed to end their sufferings. ? The woods gre full of candidates in Chester. The Reporter of last week announces the following: For the legislature? Jesse H. Hardin and A. G. Brice; for sheriff?W. B. Crosby, J. O. Darby, A. Gibson, W. H. Hood; for clerk?John C. McFadden, Wm. O. Guy, Jas. H. Jaggers; for treasurer?John B. McFadden, H. S. Hardin; for auditor?W. M. Corkill, Robt. B. Mills; for school commissioner?W. D. Knox, W. B. Thompson ; for county commissioner, Jos. C. Kirkpatrick, B. A. Ragsdale, T. W. Shannon, Jno. C. McCallum. ? A correspondent of The News says a candidate of Greenville county has gone on an electioneering tour with a hoe in his buggy. He proposes to approach the voters while they are at work on the roadside, and instead of stopping them from their work he will jump in and hoe out a row or two. ne thinks that by following this plan he can have the opportunity to tell his whole story to willing ears, and even if he fails to get votes, he will not make any hard feeling by taking up the valuable time of the voters. ? Newberry Observer: Senator Irby spent three ^houre in Newberry on Thursday on his return to Laurens from the State convention. While talking with some friends in town he drew from his hip pocket a fine pistol, which he displayed with evident pride and satisfaction, remarking that it "never hangs fire." In the meantime a policeman approached, all unconscious of the senator's presence, and saw the pistol and saw the senator slip it back into his hip pocket. Th'e policeman was inclined to think he ought to arrest the senator for carrying a concealed weapon, contrary to law, but decided not to doit. ? Newfc and Courier, Monday: Ocular evidence of the severe hail storm which befell Ridgeville Saturday before last, reached the city yesterday in the shape of fragments of unmelted ice still adhering to the tender cotton and corn which Local Freight Conductor W. J. Smith, of the Northeastern railroad, brought down with him, together with some sDecimens of the hail in a basket. He says that cotton in the vicinity and all manner of vegetation were completely ruined by the downfall, many of the drops being us large as a hen's egg. The specimens that he brought to the city were considerably smaller, but this, he explained, was due to melting. They came from Mr. J. A. Ferrell's plantation. ? A somewhat novel case came up before Governor Tillman last week. It was that of the Miles twins, aged ten years, of Laurens. They were convicted at the last term of the Laurens court of stealing a pig. The evidence was such that the jury was forced to return such a verdict, and as the law fi*es the minimum penalty for larceny of live stock, there was nothing else for the judge but to sentence the boys for one year in the penitentiary. His honor, however, and the solicitor, requited that the sentence be lightened, and *u consideration of the age of the twins, the governor commuted the term of the Doys w> one weex m jau. mc ujcujency was coupled with the condition that the mother of the youthful thieves administer a sound thrashing upon their release. ? A shocking affair is reported from Barnwell county. A few days ago the coroner held an inquest over the body of a young white woman, of good family, and her infent. A jury was impanneled and a number of witnesses, including several physicians, were examined. The result was that Dr. Todd, a hitherto highly respected physician, was charged with criminal mal-practice in attempting to conceal the shame of the young woman, who had been led astray by a railroad contractor from the West. Dr. Todd is a brother of the wife of the late President Abraham Lincoln. He served as a surgeon on the Confederate side during the war, and was one of the most skillful surgeons in the service. He has been released on a bond of $1,500, but if convicted on the charge, will be sent to the penitentiary for not less than five nor more than ten years. ? A mysterious incident occurred at Mer-1 na. in the northwestern part of this county, Friday night, says a Laurens dispatch to the Greenville News: A few nights previous, the store of J. R. Hopkius was broken into and $40 worth of goods were stolen. Dave Shaw, a negro, was arrested on suspicion. John Abercrombie, a constable, Mr. Hopkins and another white man, were taking him to Trial Justice Hellams at Gray Court. When they were a mile from Merna a crowd of perhaps fifty men rode out from the side of the road and demanded the prisoner. The constable's party can't say whether they were white or black, on account of the darkness. The crowd fired pistols and threatened the life of the constable if he refused to give up the prisoner. The constable complied and the crowd carried Shaw off. He has not been heard of since. Some think he was hung and a place was found in the woods where there were supposed signs of the execution. Others believe Shaw was whipped and warned to leave the country, or that he may have been rescued by his own friends. Shaw is said to have been a notorious thief. ? Greenville News: Many soldiers passed through the late war and never received a wound, but if there is more than one who was struck thirty-one times and then came out unscathed, the other is not known. Greenville furnishes the known case of that kind. One of the most popular citizens of this city is T. H. Stall. Mr. Stall was a private in the famous Butler Guards, which went from here. The company belonged to the Second regiment and was one of the first in the State to leave for the scene of hostilities. It was in the first and last battles of the war. It was engaged in thirty-eight battles and skirmishes, and Mr. Stall was in thirty-seven of these fights. He was struck thirty-one times and the strangest part of it is that not a drop of blood was drawn, the bullets going through his clothes or grazing his skin. At the battle of Chickamauga he was struck six times and men fell dead all around him. During that battle au aide of General Kershaw rode up and asked that officer how the battle was going. The brave old soldier burst into tears, and pointing to the dead men all around him, simply said, "Look !" In the last battle in which the Second regiment took part, a cannon bali grazed Mr. Stall's head but did not bring blood. Mr. Stall was one soldier who appeared to be invulnerable. NEWPORT NEWS.

A meeting of this body was held at the Buffalo church, a few miles from Blacksburg, beginning, on Friday the 27th, "nd adjourning on Sunday, the 29th ultimo. Nine or ten Sunday-schools were represented by delegates and letters, and the session was an interesting one. Rev. R. G. Patrick preached the introductory sermon from the text found in I John ii, 6. After an intermission for dinner, the discussion of the queries was begun. The "Relation of the Baptists to Missions," was discussed by Revs. F. 0. S. Curtis, Thos. Dixon and R. G. Patrick. Special stress was placed unon the movement to place 100 missiona | ries in the foreign mission work as celebrating the one-hundredth anniversary of modern mission enterprise. The subject was presented with much enthusiasm. On Saturday morning, after devotional exercises, the subject: "How may we raise the standard of Sunday-school instruction in our schools ?" was discussed with clearness and force by W. B. DeLoach, Esq. He was followed by Revs. F. O. S. Curtis and Thos. Dixon, who made helpful suggestions as to how teachers might improve both as to intellectual and spiritual qualification for their great work. "Who ought to be in the Sunday-school, and why ?" was the next question discussed. The speakers were Messrs. P. Green, E. B. McSwain, H. A. Porter and Rev. R. G. Patrick. The speeches were full of?interest. After an intermission, Rev. Thomas Dixon preached to a good congregation. Other questions were discussed at the conclusion of the sermon.

The convention then adjourned to meet on the Friday bej fore the 5th Sunday in July. R. P. LETTER FROM UNION' COUNTY. Probable Railroad Litigation?Other News Notes. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Etta Jane, May 30?Just now our farmers would be glad to get a shower of rain. Oats are the principal crop in need of it. Most of the farmers are done chopping out cotton and have plowed it the second time. Wheat will be a fair crop I think. The Kelton people have kicked up a row with the Lockhart Shoals Railroad company for not making their survey so as to bring the road by that town. It was generally understood by the citizens of Pinckney township that the road would stop at Kelton, on its way from Jonesville and Lockhart Shoals. But the survey has ignored such an understanding, so the road will run where most of them do?into court. The probabilities are that it will be built from Union to Lockhart Shoals instead of from Jonesville. Several of our Union county people ati tended the evangelistic meeting at Hickory I Grove yesterday, and were well pleased with j what they saw and heard. Our neighbor, Mr. Clough Inman, has about 14 acres planted in peas, and has about 15 more acres he expects to plant. He is a York county man and a farmer whose head is level. He says there is more money in peas than in cotton at present prices. Sigma. A Caning Affair in Newberry.?There was a big sensation in Newberry last Monday morniug. I)r. Sampson Pope caned Colonel Ellison Keitt. The difficulty happened on Main street, in one of the most frequented parts of town, and was witnessed by a large number of people. Dr. Pope used a small walking cane and struck Colonel Keitt several blows over the head, knocking off his hat. Colonel Keitt made no resistance beyond holding up his hands to ward oft the blows. When the assault was over, he said to Dr. Pope: "You are beneath my contempt." Both parties to the trouble were taken before the mayor. Dr. Pope was fined $10 and Colonel Keitt was discharged. The caning grew out of an article in last week's Herald and News, written by Colonel Keitt, which Mr. Pope understood had reference to himself, he having been a brigade surgeon during the war. It was the following paragraph that did the mischief: "In the late war between the States, South Carolina led with a voting population of 60,| 000, and she put 65,000 soldiers in the field, j The annals of the human race tell us of no I such people. Of that vast number it would | be curious to know how many of the Till| man gang, who are pre-eminently 'in for t revenue only,' were in the war. One at ! least, who is loud in their councils, the first [ fight his company was in, he lit out and left. I He lifted his feet so fast a bullet could not catch him. He made straight for the hospital and yellow ftag and never lessened his 1 speed until he got safely within the. walls of 1 ntbnr the one aua under me iuius ui mc He could never be induced to return to his command. The end of tiie war found him under the yellow tlag attending to the sick and wounded. A safe place. He is now in congenial company. Monument to A. P. Hill.?Last Monday ! was a big day in Kiclimond, Va. It was the occasion of the unveiling of a monument to i General Ambrose Powell Hill, the great ConI federate commander who lost his life at PcI tersburg, and the ceremony was witnessed by thousands of visitors. The monument , was erected by an association organized to secure funds for the purpose, and stands one mile and a half from Richmond at the intersection of the Hermitage road and Laburnum avenue, where Hill assumed command of his first brigade. The memorial lis a bronze figure of Hill standing upon a j stone pile, consisting of base, sub-base, die) block, shaft and capital, the whole being j thirty-four feet from the base to the crown of the figure. The statue represents the soldier standing in un easy attitude, his right hand falling at the side and holding his hat, while I the left, crossed easily before the belt, holds jhis sheathed sword nearly by the middle. The pose is said to have been characteristic of the original. Fighting Train Koiihkhs.?A Florida passenger train was held up at Monroe Junction, that State, on Saturday of last week by robbers. The express messenger, a plucky young man named Saunders, resisted and was killed. Other trainmen made their : appearance about this time, armed with rej volvers, and the robbers escaped without seI curing a great deal of plunder. When the ' news of the murder became circulated, the citizens of the surrounding country at once * organized a posse and went in search of the robbers. After three days search the whole party, three in number, was caught and shot to death after a desperate fight in which > several members of the pursuing posse were , badly wounded. ' Ox thk Roll of Honor.?In general ' orders No. 33 issued from the adjutant gen' eral's office, United States army, the name ' of Captain George D. Wallace is placed on ' the roll of honor in the following entry: 5 "December 29, 1890, Captain George D. ' Wallace, 7th cavalry. For conspicuous gal lantry in action against hostile Sioux In' dians, at Wounded Knee Creek, South Da: kota, where, holding his ground against r overwhelming odds, his death at the hands of the enemy terminated a notably honorar ble and useful career."

May 11 IP ::t I ACT TODAY, TOMORROW 0 May be Too Late; at Least That Has Been the Experience of Others. 0 THERE are hundreds, yes, thousands of men all over this country who thoroughly real ize that no plan has yet been devised by which they can more easily and surely provide for those dependent upon them in case they are taken away by death, than a life insurance policy in a first class company. They all expect to attend to the matter some day?next fall, next year, when their financial condition is such that they can supply all their imaginary wants and have a sufficient surplus to carry a policy. Thousands ?0 down to the grave every year without attending to the matter, and leave their dear ones penniless and to depend either on charity or to eke out an existence as best they can. Is the picture familiar? Is it overdrawn? Read the following extract from The Insurance Post, of London, England, and learn what one who speaks from bitter experience has to say on the subject: I am looked upon as a happy man. The world says: "There is Bright; he's a lucky doe. What a lovely wife he has and what tine children! If you want to see a charming home, look in at Bright's." I was a happy man; I used to fancy myself one of the most fortunate fellows alive. I felt proud, of the way I had got along; sometimes I used to think I surely must have been born under a lucky star; I soemed to prosper in everything. When I began in the store I was the junior clerk, but I worked up; promotions never seemed to fall in anybody's way faster than they did in mine. Everybody said when I married: "Bright's a lucky dog." My wife was the belle of the city; it would nave gladdened the hearts of fifty fellows whom I might name to have won her if they could, but her love was reserved for me. Then the children?well, well, a father's praises are usually accepted with grains of allowance; I won't say anything that might seem to be mere parental rapture. Now, I've mentioned the reason why the world thinks me a happy man. Perhaps you think the world is right? My God! I wish it was. The other day an old friend, a school chum, called on meat the store: we got to talking about life insurance. I don't know how many life insurance men have.tried to induce me to insure my life; I always put them off. Frankly, I never thought seriously about needing life insurance?never thought I needed it now. I remember that I said to myself, "After awhile." I knew I hadn't saved any money, but then I would. Once an agent tried to tell melt was my duty towards my wife and children to insure ; I thought him impertinent. He made me angry: I tola him I knew my own business. My friend urged me to take a policy, as he had lately engaged in the life insurance business. Finally, I said I would, thinking it a favor to him ; ft was easier to say yes than no. I went to be examined by the medical examiner. Two or three days later I was asked to call again. I was examined a second time. I thought the proceedings a bore, and began to wish I nad not signed the application. A week after my friend came into the store; I asked him about my insurance, and he said the ' . company had rejected the application. He didn't ? say it quite as direct as this, but in a roundabout hesitating way. He tried to be gentle in imparting the information. At last I came to understand that I was uninsurable. "Kidney disease?incurable," the ex-, aminer said. I consulted an eminent physician; he confirmed it?quietly told me I might live two years. ?? ????" !n fn nrnnarc n i wo years ;?iv> v y cai n m nui^u w *** r? die! I dare not tell my wife; it would be well enough by-and-by> Like a condemned felon, I count the days and hours?days and hours in which to breathe silent farewell to those I love. What can I do in two years?such years? What provision can I make for them ? I said I never thought seriously about life insurance. I never did until now, when it is too late. "Uninsurable !" rings in my ears. Never did a leper shudder more at those words descriptive of his fearful doom, "Unclean! unclean!" tuan I do as the voice in my ear says, "Uninsurable!" It says more than that. . It tells me of the cruelty of my procrastination; it tells me that I am dead, that my dear wife and children are destitute. My Goa! it is bard to bear. Everything that made me happy before makes me wretched now. The agony or the thought of parting from my family, terrible as it is, is as nothing to the ' certain knowledge that I shall leave them comparatively poor. I have figured it all out; after paying my funeral expenses there will be barely enough left to supply them with, the necessaries of life for six months. My friends have begun to notice that "Bright has acted que r lately." * * * I saw a young woman today begging on the street, ana with her were two little children, who tugged at her skirt and cried: "Mamma, please take us home; we are so cold and hungry." The Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association of New York, has been in existence eleven years. It is incorporated under the laws of that State. It has a Reserve Fund of $3,230,404, and every dollar of this amount is for the protection of policy holders. It has over $218,000,000 of insurance in force. It has paid death claims to the amount of $12,556,218, and has never swindled or attempted to swindle a beneficiary out of a single cent. It furnishes life insurance at about half the rate charged by the "old line" companies.
