APolttical Flsticuft
Sumtee, Nov. 1.?A political fisticuff.
! took place to-day between Col. Joseph
H. Earle and Mr. H;. R. Thomas, > of
Wedgefield. It appears that Mr. Earle
} and Mr. Thomas got into a conversation
I about an article in the Samter Advance
j Referring to Col. Earle^as 'fa very slip*
pery fish; a veritable eel," and JIr. Earle
I called Mr. Thomas a liar and high words
Sassed, and they finally came-to. blows,
'hey were then arrested and pntup their
money, and Mr. Earle went into an office
near by, Mr. - Thomaa remaining in the
street in front of the Court House.
A few minutes afterwards Mr. Earle
. was seen coming at Mr. > Thomas with an
upliited-stick.v. When he reached Mr.
Thomas he strack at him with the stick,
and Mr. Thomas caught the blow on bis
, hand.;';They .were then separated and
I ^rV: Earle's him off.

tored and all is quiet. c
I gr. A Great Sensation.
j $-,Geesnville, . S. C, Nov. 1.?This
city has been in the throes of a sensation
produced by an encounter this-, morning
between the Hon. Samuel A. Townesy
may or of the city,- and. Prof. William S.
: Morrison, of Welfbrd, superintendent of
'-? the Greenville graded schools and a lead?
ing edncatop- in- the State. On Main
street, about 9 o'clock this morning, Prof.
Morrison was attacked by Mayor Townea
and severely caned, a stout walking stick
? in the hands of the mayor; being broken
over the head of his antagonist, who was
dazed, by the sudden assault and made ho
'. resistance. 1
O' The affair, which' created''-" the greatest
I emprise and ig universally regretted here;
grew out of acase of discipline in the last
Session of the public schools.' Allen
Townea, a son of the mayor and a pupil
in ?be school, was whipped by the super?
intendent for... fighting a playmate. It
was. charged"that .the -punisbmeht was
cruel and unnecessarily severe, and the
case was beard by the school board, who
censured the superintendent. Here the
: matter dropped, having been, it was sup?
posed, finally settled. ;;
The; mayor's attack on Prof. Morrison
today was an unexpected outcome, and
it is not to be Baid that the matterisset-,
tied yet. Prof.~Morrison has gone tem
. porarily to his home at Welf?r?.
;.";;.Tne Xevr Explosive, ExtraUte.;.
New Britain, 'Go^'Oc^bex'SiEl^
Rudoldh Ericsson, a young Swede, is em?
ployed in a drug store in this city. Before
he came to'America he' worked with his
;uncle in a gunpowder factory in the old
country, and together they experimented
to find a new explosive that would be as
. powerful as dynamite but less dangerous
\ to handle..' A; few - months ago ' young
Ericsson received a letter from bis node
.in which tbe latter stated that his exper?
iments bad at last been successful. He
enclosed a formula of tfie new explosive,
and Rudolph got- it patented under tbe
j name of "Extralite.''
I The new. explosive looks like moist
cornmeal. It can be made as easily as
cornmeal can be cooked, and in much
the same way. Last week Mr. Ericsson
made a quantity of it in a stove in Mr.
Curran'a drug store, and then experi?
mented with it before some persons whom
he is trying to interest in its manufacture.
A mass of rock at Shuttle Meadow
Mountain was selected as the scene of the
experiments. The first trials were to
prove that the mixture could not be
exploded in the open sir. A small fire
wae started, and two pounds of extralite
were pat in it. The stuff would neither
explode nor barn. It was then thoroughly
mixed with kerosene oil, when about
half of it burned, but did not explode.
A small dynamite cartridge was inserted
in a roll of tbe stuff. The cartridge was
exploded with a fuse, but the extralite
did not explode. When some of the sub?
stance was placed on a flat stone and
struck with a hammer the only result was
to reduce it to a finer powder.
i A hole two feet deep was drilled in the
hardest rock to be found in a neighboring
quarry. Three rolls of the explosive,
?ach containing three ounces, were tamp?
ed down in a hole and connected with a
fuse. The explosion shook the gronnd
and the air was filled with flying boulders.
The result achieved would have requited
-two pounds of gunpowder, or one pound of
dynamite, while only nine ounces of ex?
tralite were used; ; .%
i. The manufacture of the explosive will
be commenced in New Britain at once.
The. street commissioners of Hartford
have decided to use it in the city's quar?
ries. The French Government is said to
have paid one million francs for the right
to nee it.
The Scheme Didn't "Work.
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 4.?The
customhouse yard to-day was quite filled
with some seven ty two barrels of moun
taiu apples, each barrel containing a five
gallon keg of moonshine brandy snugly
hidden therein. This is a lot of illicit
goods seized at McMinnville a few days
ago having been offered for shipment
at that place by one J. C. Clarke, and
consigned to himself fit Birmingham,
Ala. It was a very slick trick, but it
failed to work. The illicit dealer bad
first placed in each barrel about half a
bushel of tough mountain apples, limber
twigs and other varieties of apples were
placed around the kegs, and then another
half bushel poured in on top.
The unusual heaviness of the barrels
first attracted attention, and in rolling
the lot into the depot oae of the barrel
beads burst, and lo and behold 1 there was
the tell,-tale brandy. The whole lot
contained about 860 gallons of 'mountain
dew,' alias 'applejack,' and with the tax
of ninety cents a gallon is worth about
$1.40 per gallon, aggregating, say, about
$500. Tbe contraband goods have been,
confiscated, and tbe proceeds will go
toward paying the costs in the prosecution
of Clarke, who stands a brilliant chance
of being landed in the penitentiary.
; Bishop Henry M. Turner, of the
African Methodist Church, has written a
letter to the Christian Advocate in which
he expresses his belief that American
slavery was a providential institution
which worked good for the negro race.
This ia undoubtedly true, an one of the
greatest results is that so many negroes
are now free citizens of. the American
Republic. Had it not been for slavery
they would have remained heathens in
Africa.

a Satisfactory Showing*.
The .following facts, which we glean
from the Colombia correspondent of the
News and Courier, make a most credita?
ble showing for the management of our
State prison. Let it be borne in mind,
to begin with, that, with exception of
$25,000 advanced to the penal establish*
ment by way of a loan, the State has not
appropriated a dollar to tbe support of
the penitentiary in the past eight years.
Superintendent Li pa comb makes the
following statement of earnings for the
ten years ending October, 1888:
Improvement of prisons for
? eight years ending October,
1886..i.$ 160,000 00.

Balance... 162,560 44
$322,635 44
Deduct State advance. 25,000
$ 297,635 44
- Now,; should we deduct from this
amount the labor contributed to the
Canal, to the State House'and to rail?
roads for which Bcrip was taken, we still
find $156,398:11.
It may be asked, with these figures
before tie, how the establishment is still
in debt? It will be seen that in 'this
statement of earnings, the estimated
improvements on the .penitentiary, in
? walls, structures, etc.,.is put at $185,000.
This, of itself, shows a shortage. of $28,
601.89. But in the meantime the neces?
sary work for the improvement pf the
establishment, without which it could not
have been conducted, has been done by
the convicts, which wonld have cost tbe
State at least 30 per cent, more built by.
contract. This, then, is a fair earning.
But the public will be interested to
know the result of the year's work. .
According to the statement as given by
the reports there i are in confinement 894
convicts?843 colored and 51 white. Mr.
Pringle holds ander contract 217 of these
convicts on his phosphate mines; The
remainder are distributed on the several
farms, and are under contract on the
canal or within the prison. The expen?
ses of the establishment for the year were
$81,621.91. The cash receipts for the
year amounts to $85,066.14, showing a
cash balance for the year of $3,444.23.
Deducting this from the balance of in?
debtedness brought over from last year
and amounting to $17,606.72, we see a
total balance indebtedness of $14,162.49.
But to meet this indebtedness the estab?
lishment bas due and payable in the next
sixty dayB $14,000 and 250 bales of cot?
ton valued at $10,000, making a total of
$24,000. This wonld go to show, with
? dues and cotton reduced, to ready money,
that the establishment will have some
$10,000 over and above outstanding
claims. And this, notwithstanding at
least $50,000 lost from the floods in the
farming operations of the year. This is
-indeeH a. most satisfactory showing.?

all His mercies for the abundant harvests
which have rewarded the toil of the hus?
bandman during tbe year: that has passed,
and for the rich rewards that have follow?
ed the labors of oar people in their shops
and their marts of trade and traffic
Let ns give thanks for peace and social
order and contentment within our bor?
ders, and for advancement in all that
adds to national greatness. And mindful
of the afflictive dispensation with which a
portion of ocr land has been visited, let
us, while we humble ourselves before the
power of God, acknowledge his mercy in
setting bounds to the deadly march of
the pestilence, and let our hearts be
chastened by sympathy with oar fellow
countrymen who nave suffered and who
mourn.
And as we return thanks for all the
blessings which we'have received from
the hands of our Heavenly Father, let us
not forget that He has enjoined upon ob
charity, and on thia day of thanksgiving
let us generously remember the poor and
needy, so that oar tribate of praise and
gratitude may be acceptable in the Bight
of the Lord.
Done at the city of Washington on the

The Champion Train Robber.
New Obleans, Nov. 3.?The United
States express messenger on the train on
the New Orleans & Northeastern railway,
which arrived here this morning at seven
o'clock, wasjrobbed at 5 a. m. between
Lacey and Derby stations fifty miles from
this city. The express officials decline
to state the amount of the robbery, but it
is understood the loss is between forty
and fifty thousand dollars. Between the
stations above named the robber entered
tbe express car where Henry McElroy,
baggage master, Was sitting on a cheat
near the middle of the car and tbe express
messenger, Chas, Lowery, was at one end
checking off freight. The robber came
first to the baggage master, presented a
pistol and required McElroy to hold up
bis bands. Quickly throwing a sack over
McElroy's bead, tbe robber gave his at?
tention to the messenger who was requir?
ed at. the point of the piBtol to open the
safe. A sack was then placed over tbe.
messenger's head while the roober pro?
ceeded -with tbe work of securing tbe
money, both McElroy and Lowery beiog
required under threat to hold up their
hands. After securing the contents of
the safe the robber pulled the bell -ope,
the train then being near Nicholson sta?
tion, forty-five miles' from this city.
When the train stopped he left the car
unobstructed. The conductor did not
kaow why the train stopped, and on start?
ing forward to ascertain, found the rear
end of the coach next to the baggage car
locked and the key left in the door on the
outside. When the express car was finally
reached both McElroy and Lowery were
found staoding with their hands up and
the Backs over their heads. They were
under the impression that the robber was
still present. Only one robber was seen
by Lowery.
CRIMES ?ND CASUALTIES.

Greenwood, Abbeville Co., Oct.
4.?This community was shocked to-day
by the news of the violent death of Mrs,
G. A. YiBanska, of Abbeville. Mrs.
Visanska was the mother of Mrs. P.
Rosenberg, of Abbeville, and sister of
Mrs. A. Rosenberg, of this city. Her
husband is a member of the firm of P.
Rosenberg & Co. During the prevalence
of diptheria in Abbeville she sent her
children to Mrs. Rosenberg, in this city,
end this morning she started to visit them
in company with her son Julius, in a
baggy. They had to cross Morton's
bridge, which is about twelve feet high.
During the September freshet both ap?
proaches were washed away, and the re?
pairs have not been completed. The

polite attention, men to wait on them, and Bell them their numerous Bargains a
prices that are really astonishing. These are cut down bo fine that they could nof
afford to sell them at it if it were not for the large quantity !of Goods they handle.
It was predicted that the building of the Savannah Valley Railroad wonld
injure Anderson?that a large share of the Cotton wonld be marketed at Stations
along its line. But all these predictions have proven untrue, because Andereon gets
better receipts in Cotton than ever before. And why? Because she contains live,
energetic merchants, who pay the farmers more for their Cotton than they can get
for it at these small Stations where they have only one buyer, and then they sell yon
Goods so low, besides?heap cheaper than you can buy them elsewhere.- Jost listen

is simply ridiculous. We will guarantee
our prices in any line at ieaat as low,
and in many instances, much lower than
other houses. The crop prospect was
very promising while we were in the

is a particle of truth in the old saying,
"Goods well bought are half sold," ours
are as good as seven-eighths gone
already.
?6?? Don't be tempted by any so-called
bargains until you have seen our Goods

to sell one or two articles away under
value as leaders, and then make np the
loss on something else, but to give the
full worth- of your money every time,
