of the en*

fact that Mr. Hayes has contributed to
the enterprise of establishing a home
for disabled soldiers of the Confederacy
shows that it is.no longer popular at the
North to foment and keep alive the feel
ings of sectional hate which flourished
after the war and which have now only
an occasional advocate. 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.?

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?

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.

The Garden Seed business is being well
done and well pushed this season, and we
are taking a lively hand. Prices are cut
down pretty close, and each dealer is vieing
with the other to see who can come the
nearest selling them for nothing. The
main thine to be considered is to be sure
you get them from a reliable man, who
buys from reliable growers, and has fresh
Seed Wc have already made our second
order this season, and are in the market to
stay and Bee it out.
We handle Landreth's Seed exclusively,
get the best prices and discounts, and can
compete with anybody?even Landreth
himself. This is big talk, but we moan
business, and if you don't believe it try us
and him, and we save you the freight.
We Invite irien who peddle Seed through
the country to bring their quotations to us,
and we guarantee to duplicate any prices
they may have from any reliable house
anywhere, and we save them the freight.
This proposition applies also to merchants
throughout the Connty. We handle none
but fiuh Seed, with the date printed on
each package, and we mean business. We
buy as cheap as anybody, we are satisfied
with as little profit as anybody, and will
sell as cheap as anybody. So don't fail to
see or communicate with us, and we think
we can save you money. Our place is
McCully's Corner.'
