A good many of the federal officers have contributed to this home.as well as Mr. Hayes, and the number will increase as the enterprise becdmea^better' known. These old sol diers do not have the federal treasury to draw npoD, and many of the States can? not help them in any other way than they assist other paupers. It is true they-were on the wrong side' and were '.defeated, but they still have claims on humanity like other sufferers. They are citizens of a united country and laid down their treason when they laid down their arms. The sentiments expressed by Mr. HayeB in sending his contribution is more common at the North than the people of the South may suppose." THEDIEK COENEK, Editor Ligon, of the Aiken Journoland Review, has recently been spending a few days with his brother, Rev. R. C. Ligon, in the Dark Corner, and we- take the following extract from an article which he has published in his paper giving an ac? count of bis trip : 1 "This-is the name of one of the town ships in Anderson County. I:have tried to find out where or from what circum? stance this township took its name, but have been unable to get anything definite on the subject. It most have had its origin.from some trivial incident as the name is not founded on fact. Instead of being the dark corner, I believe it is one of the most prosperous and enlightened .townships in the County. The lands are productive, well timbered with oak, pine Ihickory, well watered?on the whole very valuable. The soil is of a dark gray loam with clay as a subsoil. The township is rather thickly populated, and some of the best people of the County reside within its borders?among them, could be mentioned the Sadlers, the Sherards, the Beattys, the Cooks, the Reids, the Hamiltons, and many others equally sb substantial and meritorious, .but lack of space forbids the recording of their names. "In social, religious and educational points of view the "Dark Corner" will compare favorably with any section in the County. The society is good, and the .people are very neighborly and sociable. The morale of the neighborhood is excel? lent. There are five churches?I Presbyr terian, 1 Associate Reformed Presbyte? rian (Seceder,) 1 Baptist and 2 Methodist, and the attendance upon these on preach? ing days is, good. There are ^also five good schools in> the township for the whites. "Last, but not least, I have met more pretty; young ladies daring my short stay here than it has ever been my good fortune to meet in so short a time before, and were I a single man I imagine my week's visit would be prolonged into months. ? ^''So it will be seen that the 'Dark Cor? ner' is not es dark.as its misleading name indicates." CHIMES AND CASUALTIES. Columbia, S. 0., March 21.?Governor Richardson to-day made requisition on the Governor of Tennessee for the de? livery to Sheriff Long, of Union, of David E. Jeter,- charged with having murdered his brother-in-law, James W. Busby, id Union, twenty-nine years ago. Since i860 Jeter has been a fugitive from this State. He -'was once arrested in Texas for this crime bat escaped. He iB now in jail in Jackson, Tennessee. Hollbrook, Aeizona, March . 21. ? An East bound passenger train, on the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad was robbed last night at Canon Diablo by four masked men. The Wells-Fargo express car was rifled. It is not known what amount was taken. The passengers were hot molested.. A number of shots were fired by the robbers, but no one was injured. Sheriff Larson of this place, with a posse, has gone in pursuit. Atlanta, Ga., March 19.?The Elber .ton Star announces that there are three cases of genuine Asiatic 'leprosy: in the Northern portion of that County,' two of the vie timB being negroes and one are Bpectable white man, whose name is sup? pressed until more authentic information establishes it. One of the negroes has turned white, while the other is broken out in spots, as is also the white man. Par ties who have seen these cases say there is.no doubt about their being lepers although there is no professional authority for the assertion. Ealeiqh, N. 0., March 21.?A negro living near Winton, the County seat of Hertford County,, concluded that his Wamily was too large for comfort, and bo he fook^pne of his children into the woods forthe avowed purpose of merely punishing hbn. Shortly afterwards he returned without-.the child. He then took another one of his children and broiled him on live coals. He was ar? rested for this act and ledged in jail. Search was made for the other child, and it was found about fifty yarda from the house-with its neck broken. . Geeenville, S. C, March 20.?The unusual spectacle of two women?one a particularly beautiful young married wo? man?on trial for assault and battery with intent to kill, was the sensation in the Sessions Court to day. Mrs. .Sarah Bel land and her daughter, Mrs. Mat tie Hicks, were tried for making an assault on Mrs. Adeline Rhodes, a neighbor, with whom they were on bad terms, last Christmas eve, in Grove Township. All the parties are of respectable and well-to do families. The jury found both de? fendants guilty of. assault and Battery of a high aud aggravated nature. The verdictwas a great surprise. Raleigh, N. C, March 21.?A hail storm, which'swept across New Hanover county day before yesterday, was the severest on record. The foil extent of its damage waa not known until yester? day. The hail stones were of enormous size, and fell in sheets. Many were as large as hen's eggs. Much damage was done shrubs and glass in Wilmington. The storm was severe forty miles weBt of Wilmington. Some damage was done fruit, but the strangest fact of all was the killing of Benjamin Moore, a young colored man; by the hail. Moore was caught in the storm in the suburbs of Wilmington, and was beaten by the enormdOB hail stoneB until ho was com? pletely exhausted. He was discovered after the storm, lying helpIesB on the ground. He was bleeding at the mouth and nose, and his condition was so alarm iog that a physician was sent for, but before he arrived Moore waa dead. ..i St. Louis, March 22.?At 3 o'clock this afternoon a fire occurred in the Standard Bagging Factory. The wildest . panic ensued among the 200 employees, most of whom were girls. A rush was made for the narrow stairway, but before half of them could escape they found themselves cut off by the heat and smoke. A few men employed in the building worked bravely, and succeeded in leading the panic stricken girls through smoke and flames to a place where they could drop out to an adjoining building, and all were saved with the exception of Ada Lebrecht, who was found horribly burned. Ohas. Gafran, a middle-aged man, worked heroically in getting the gilrs out of the burning building. He remained on the third floor too long, and when he turned to get out found all means of escape cut off save by the window. He took his only chance, jumped and was terribly injured by the fail, but will not die. New Albany, Ind., March 16.?For several weeks this town of 30,000 in? habitants has been kept in a state of terror by a huge and vicious hog. The animal, considered everybody his fit prey, and many people have been kept husy climbing trees in order to get out of the way of his tuskB. He upset a carriage once, and during the past Beven days be has caused a-dozen runaways, resulting in crippled horses and broken buggies. The police tolerated but did not encour? aged the behavior of this porker until several days since, when a more hein? ous offense than usual rendered him a fugitive from justice. He rushed through the broad plate window of a drng store, overturning dozens of bottles of medicine, then walked out and proceeded leisurely up the street. The cost of the window was $100, and the merchant estimated that at least $20. worth of drugs were destroyed. Last Saturday the police saw the animal and succeeded in lassoing him. They dragged the hog in1 triumph to the station house, followed by several hundred persons. After five days' im? prisonment the hog will be sold to the highest bidder. Many think his punish ment ought to be death. The Bagging Trust Again. ____ The information com es: from St. Louis that the Bagging Trnst, or pool, which excited so much opposition on the part of . the cotton planters and others last year, and which expired by limitation in De? cember, Has been reorganized and will be directed by the same managers and prac? tically on the same line as before. The plan of operation for the current year, it is Said, indeed, does not contemplate forcing prices as high as it was attempted to force them last fall, but it is to be ex? pected, of course, that they will be pushed as high as practicable. There have been rumors for several days of the revival of this combination and it is probable that they are well founded. The policy of the members of the pool, after their experience last year, would naturally be to make an early start, so as to place themselves in a posi? tion to control the market when the next cotton season opens. The farmers too will not be bo much disposed to objeet to higher prices in the fall, perhaps, if the increase is effected bo far in advance of the buying Beason as to relieve the pool from the appearance of taking advantage of their necessities at that time. There is little room to doubt, at any rate that the old Bagging Trust is preparing for another "squeeze," if it have not already reorganized for the purpose, and it will be the fault of the farmers themselves if they neglect the warning they have re? ceived. With the knowledge they have acquired so recently, they will have no excuse if they fail to take timely and ef? fective action to protect themselves next season, and now is the best time for Buch action. The pine straw bagging has been care? fully tested, and has received the appro? val of cotton shippers and cotton buyers on both aides of the. ocean. There is no limit in the South to the supply of raw material required for this product, and the sensible course appears to be for the cotton planters to encourage, by every means iu their power, the development of an Industry which will at once add mate? rially to the business and prosperity of the Southern States, and will ensure to the farmers themselves a measure of that protection, which is now extended to the manufacturers of cotton bagging, at the farmer's expense.?Newa andCowier. Died with her Boots On. Wincheseeb, Va., March 25.?Rosau na McCormick, aged sixty-five, an eccen? tric character who resides by herself near Jordan's White Sulpher Springs in this county, for many years, and who was well known by thousands of people from the North and South who have been patrons of these springs, was found dead at her home yesterday lying on fertilizer Backs and sheep skins. She-had a number of feather beds, but never slept on them. She always wore long, heavy boots with pistols iu them for protection, rarely ever taking", them off, and died in her boots. At the coroner's inquest a verdict of "died ot pneumonia" was rendered. She was a great reader, very intelligent, a fine historian, and the owner of two farms, and a number of cattle and sheep, which she amassed by her industry. She told the fortune of many a fair maiden an old time lady in the United States. She was a great pedestrian, always walk? ing to the city clad in the roughest ma? terials, accompaned by her faithful dog and carrying a long staff. A number of handsome uncut silk dress patterns were found among her effects. She never took physic and would not have a physi? cian in her last illness. Death of a Good Judge of Whiskey, Hobbe Cave, Ky., March 16.?Mr. R. A. Logsdon of Cross Roads, this county, while out fox hunting one day this week, discovered his dogs whining around a large tree which had been blown up by the roots. The tree is a huge hollow poplar. While trying to discover the cause of the canine's actions, his atten? tion was attracted by a lot of human bones in the hollow of the tree. Further search revealed an old flint-look gun and a keg of whisky. The bones were greatly decayed and much larger than the usual size. The gun was eaten by rust and the stock had rotted so that it fell to pieces. The keg is a strange concern, and shows considerable ingenuity in its construe- j tion, the exterior being coated with a substance resembling pitch, and is well preserved. The whisky found in the keg is said to be a most excellent article.? Louisville Courier Journal. ? Jerry Rusk, of Gen. Hanison's cab net, was the tow path companion of Gar field wheu the latter was a boy. Btorevllle Items. Everybody is very busy just now, and it is ' impossible to gather much news. The farmers in all parts of the neighbor? hood are in a rush, preparing to plant, and I am doing ray best to keep np with neighbor Hall. But when you get in a hurry something is very apt to go wrong. The other day when I and the boys baa just finished loading the wagon with com? post, and everything ready to Btart to the field, intending to do a big day's work, Mrs. Judd walked oat and informed me in a manner that could not have been misunderstood, that it was "Good Fri? day," and the garden must be plowed up and manured, and seeds must be planted, and yams must be bedded out, and the yard must be fixed so that Susie could plant her flowers. All of this was com? manded to be done on "Good Friday," and we all knew well what it meant, and that was to go at it and stick to it until it was finished, every jot. So I quietly in? formed the boys that I had decided to change tho plan of the day's work, and tbat all bands would work half an hour or bo in the garden before we started to the field. They, knowing the authorita? tive disposition of Mrs. Judd, acquiesced Eromptly and obediently. In less than alf tbe time I have been writing this page, all bands were bard at work in the garden. We plowed it np with a small gopher plow, and then crossed it with a colter, we raked all the trash of! and burated every clod. Next, we laid it off iu rows with a large plow and began to manure as Mrs. Judd directed; of course we were not allowed to stop until every furrow was filled to the brim, and every stall was very nearly cleaned. I will add for information to those more fortunate, that there is but little fun in manuring a garden, but we filled the furrows full with stable manure, planted English peas and many other Spring vegetables, bedded out our potatoes, and the good Lord only knows what all we did not do before we were allowed to quit. We didn't distrib? ute any fertilizer in our cotton rows that day, but I reckon it was a day well spent, A man never gets from any other part of the farm as large returns for the labor expended as from tbat given to the garden, and usually it is well for him to ave a wife that will see that he does it at the proper time, otherwise it is apt to be neglected until it is entirely too late. If Mrs. Judd had not used her authoritative powers, I am very sure no garden work would have been done about our house this year on"Good Friday." But it Ib done, and we are glad of it. When we were through our task I showed Mrs. Judd that sue had taken the manure tbat I had intended to put under my corn bills. She tried to console me with the assurance tbat we would raise finer English peas and larger beets an'd potatoes this year than our neighbors, if they do beat us a little on corn and cotton. I hope we will have a good garden, for I think we?that is I ana the boys?deserve it. If we have good luck we will send the Editor sam? ples. Mr. S. 0. Jackson, Mr. T. L. Clink scales and Dr. M. A. Thompson, to whom was referred the duty of applying the muds of the pupil's entertainment, at Cars well Institute, on the 16th inst. to the best advantage 'of the school, have con? tracted with Mr. James T?te to make such furniture as the hall needs.. Mr. T?te is a fine cabinet workman, and in a few days this school will be supplied with nice writing fixtures. . During the entire matrimonial season we have hot had the pleasure of chroni cleing a single marriage until this week. On Thursday, March 21st, Mr. E. F. MoAdams, of Storeville, and Miss Dessie Stephens, of the city of Anderson, were married at the residence of the bride's father. We wish the happy young couple a long and pleasant life. The entertainment at the Institute is over, aud the next thing at that place will be a picnio, which may be expected some time in May. i A poultry man at this place has pro? duced a variety of chickens that eat only during half the year. He has no fowls to Bell, but would sell a few eggs at a reason? able price. Judd. The Bagging Trust Reorganized. St. Louis, March 23.?The bagging trust, or pool, which caused a good deal of excitement and caused much opposition "on the part of cotton planters and others last year, and which expired by limita? tion last December, has, it is announced here, practically been reorganized and will be run or managed by the same par? ties as before. The plan of operation will not exactly be the same as last year, however, and prices are not expected to be pnshed up so high; but it is alleged that it will not be long before they reach ten cents per pound. It is said that there is- a corner in jute butts in New York, and that they are half a cent higher now than they were last season. A Staudard Oil Company Office Invad? ed. Columbia, S. 0., March 25.?Thie morniDg it was discovered that some time during toe night the premises of the local office of the Standard Oil Campany, near the railroad junction, had been bro? ken into and the safe blown open with dynamite. The safe was shattered into fragments, one door being sent through the side of the' building and the stove sent flying through the window; -The office furniture was badly wrecked. The robbers secared but $27.48 in silver, and leftno trace behind save a small round file and piece of water proof fuse. ? A-Btrange case of mistaken identity is reported from Wisconsin. Some four months ago Mr. W. M. Eollins, of Bel mont, went to Sparta ou business. As 'soon as be stepped from the train he wa3 arrested for murder. He protested, but in vain. He asked for a continuance but it'was refused. He was forced to trial at once. Several witnesses identified him as tbe murderer. Others positively swore that they saw him commit the crime. Eollins took the stand and slated that he lived in Belmont, and was not the man, and had never been in Sparta before. The evidence against him was so overwhelming that he was found guilty of manslaughter and sent to the penitentia? ry. The friends of Rollins at Belmont went to work. They convinced the Gov? ernor that on the night of the murder in Sparta Eollins attended a ball in Bel? mont where he was seen by one hundred persons. This was strong enough, but about this time the real murderer was ar? rested, and made a confession. The in? nocent prisoner was then released. The queer part of the business is that the murderer and Eollins look exactly alike. They are crippled the same way iu their left hands, and in every respect resemble each other. ?Thirty men armed with poles formed a gauntlet at Anderson, Ind., Monday night, and compelled eight tramps to run between tbe lines and take tbe blows they laid on. "The tramps were unmercifully whipped/' says the dispatch, "the blood trickling from many of them by the time they reached the end of the gauntlet." Their offense was an insulting manner to women. It is added that "citizens gener? ally approve the course taken." This is surely a case for an investigating commit? tee of the Senate, with Mr. Hoar at its head. What could be more barbarous than this treatment to a lot of men out of work, whose only wrong doing was tbat their "manner" was disagreeable ? Had the incident occurred in a Southern State there would have been a great outcry over it. ? In Chicago the other night, a po? liceman caught a little old man in the act of burglarizing a store. When ar? raigned before a police judge the prisoner admitted his guilt, but said that he was compelled to have some money. He had once been a rich man, but had been re? duced to poverty by thr expenses incur? red in the pursuit of a runaway wife who left him six years ago. This explanation, as a matter of coarso, was entirely satis? factory, and the judge let the old man i-ff with a nominal fine. ? Frank M. Perry and Misa Kate Burroughs of Bridgeport, Conn., were married lest week after a courtship of nearly thirty years. The long delay was caused by a provision in the will of Miss Burroughs's father disinheriting her in case she married Mr. Perry. After hesi? tating for nearly thirty years she consult ed a lawyer, who promised to find a way out of the difficulty, and she concluded to take the risk. ? Unless Tom Miller's recently pub? lished letter to the President, reading out of the party and patronage all the South Carolina seekers of official preferment who have had Independent and Green? back proclivities prevents, Walker Russell is said to have an excellent chance of being appointed United States Marshal. ? A train of seven Pullman sleepers jumped a broken rail on the Pennsylva? nia Railroad, near Altoons, last week, and after running on the ties for several hundred feet, regained the track again, and went dashing akrag without any damage. The train was running at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour. Notice of Dissolution. THE Law Firms of Brown & Tribble, and of Wells, Orr. Brown & Tribble, have been dissolved by mutual consent. WM.
