The Washington correspondent of the Atlanta 'Constitution nays that Postmaster General Wanamaker will recommend the redaction of letter postage from two cents to ons cent. He also says that it is gene? rally thought that Congress will favor the proposed reduction. Tha celebration of the Washington Centennial in New York next week will ^attracts large crowd from e>6ry Bection .of tha country, and it promises tobe a : grand occasion. South Carolina will be ijreproaentedi by : the Governor and his ?[staff, and four or five military companies. About 'fifty Sooth Carolina farmers rr^iave'given notice that they will compete |j|||*or.;1;ho $1,000 which is offered jointly by the State Board of Agriculture and the 'American AgricuUumt, in case, a South ^Cmllna competitor shall make the best -yieiiipf cornper acre iitthe competition itituted by the Agriculturist. ??The Augusta Ghronicle says that busi? ness men of Savannah! take much the same Of the bagging problem that Aagaa tercbanta do. They do not think the jute trust will be maintained this seasonj i^Tjof do tiey believe that cotton bagging .would make a desirable substitute. In Ahe Irst place, the cost is'too great. Mr. Hi liIL. Comer, a large cotton merchant of payzinnah and a very practical man, de? clares, that until jute bagging gets to be 10 cr 12 cents per pound, it is nonsense to talk about using cotton bagging when raw ixjottpn is worth' 8 or 9 cents per pound, to Kiwhicb;must be added, the cost ofraanu -facture.and waste. He says the cotton, bagging, is not a practical cover for the ^cotton, and cannot stand rough usage, such us cotton must be subjected to in jramsii. - - . ? _ _;' ' ? ? ? Representatives of the Northern and 7SouthefnPreabytorianGeneral Assemblies : held a conference in Atlanta last. week, f The conference was cbndccted with closed l^r^Kj, and as a consequence nothing defi? nite ie known as to wha t was done. It is ?etated, however, that the result of the Conference is very satisfactory to both ^liia^ches of the Church. The best meth ?cjdaibr home and foreign missions were ? clisctissed, and a solution arrived at inn ?|iially-; satisfactory. The reports which qrere read were endorsed by the joint ses? sion, a?d will be presented to the general conferences of the Northern and Southern ^ Jhurches for ratification. ? The Southern iGoner?l Assembly will meet .at Chatta? nooga on May 18th, and on the same oc? casion the Northern Assembly will meet ^ in New York city.

Record, "or he may be com. pelled to learn one later in life, as it has been shown that there are more young men in the penitentiary in this country ^earning trades than there are on the qutsida of them. The principal cause of this is that we are educating our fyottng men for idlo gentlemen, trying to. ;~frnake lawyers, preachers, doctors and clerks out of material that is needed for blacksmiths, carpenters, machinists and ? other honest 'hewers of v/ood and drawers -ct water.' It is a mistake, and a big onerto teach boys and girls that labor is disgraceful, and to do aothing for a living ia more becoming the society in which they have to move and have respect. Hang such society. It-is rotten to the core and is mining our country; and there are many sons and daughter? who are how being educated to play the part of 'leading lady' and 'walking gentle .'in.en' ixx the great drama of life who will light out for the poor honse or the peni? tentiary before the curtain drops on the ?last sad act of the play to which they have been educated by their too indulgent parents."

There is no denying Ihe fact that man? ufacturing enterprises will tend " more to build up a town and increase its popula? tion than anything else, aud in a majority of instances, small enterprises pay a better profit on the capital invested than large factories. Anderson is now at? tracting attention from every section of the country, and with a little effort there are numerous small enterprises that we might establish here. We have all the advantages of situation and railroad con? nection to encourage the establishment and successful conduct of any manufactu? ring enterprises. As a hint on this point we publish the following relative to the profit of those mentioned, which are but a few among the many enterprises that the city could support, and support hand? somely : A few years ago a shoe factory was started in Gainesville, Ga., with a capital of less than ?4,000. It gave employment to about twenty hands, and turned out about one hundred aud fifty pairs of shces a day. The proprietors made money? and in a short time there were a number of capitalists who were anxious to join them and enlarge the factory. This was done, and to day the factory is turning out six or seven hundred pairs of shoes a day. The shoes are very popular, and are sold in nearly every town and city in the South. The enterprise pays a semi? annual dividend of from 15 to 20 per cent. A match factory at the same place, with an $8000 investment, furnishes work for fo.-ty hands, and pays a spleudid interest. A barrel hoop factory there is also doing well. A mam at Budford, Ga., who cannot walk, and is terribly deformed, has made $25,000 in the past ten years by manufac? turing saddle-trees and shipping them to Northern markets. He has now opened up a now enterprise, and is shipping handles for buggy and wagon whips to the North in immense quantities. A factory at Hendereonville, Ga., Bells not less than $10,000 worth of spokes and handles annually. The chair factory at Marietta, Ga., is known all over the Southern States, and has made its originators rich men. A paper factory, at the same place, has never known a day of depression, and its products are Bold all over the South. Getting Bich by Small Inventions! The Naw Jersey man who hit upon the idea of attaching a rubber erasing tip to the end of lead pencils is worth $200,000. The miiner who invented a metal rivet .or eyelet at each end of the mouth of coat and trousem pockets to resist the strain caused by the carriage of pieces of ore and heavy tools, has made more money from his letters patent than he ^would have made had he struck a good vein of gold-bearing quartz. Every one has seen the metal plates that are used to protect the heels aud soles of rough shoeB, but every one does not know that within ten years the same man who hit upon the idea has made $250,000. As large a sum as was ever obtained for any invention was enjoyed by the Yankee who invented the inverted glass bell to hang over gas jets to protect ceilings from being blackened by smoke. The inventor- of the roller skate has made $1,000,000, notwithstanding the fact that his patent had nearly expired before the value oft iwas ascertained in the craze for roller skating that spread over the country a few years ago. The gimlet-pointed screw has produced more wealth than most silver mines and the Connecticut man who first thought of putting copper tips on the toes of chil? dren's shoes is as well off as if he had in? herited $1,000,000, for that's the amount his idea has realized for him in cold, clammy coin. The common needle threader, which every one has seen for Bale, and which every woman owns, was a boon to needle users. The man who invented it has an income of $10,000. a year from his inven? tion. A minister in England made $50,000 by inventing an odd toy that danced by winding it with a string. The man who invented the return ball, an ordinary wooden ball, with a rubber string attached to pull it back, made ?1,000,000 from it. The person who invented the most recent popular toy, "Pigs in Clover," will be rich before the leaves turn this autumn. He was poor last November.? PitUiburg Press. The Old Entaw Flag. ? The Washington Light Infantry of Charleston, S. C, the oldest military body in the United States, has received special honors from President Harrison in being selected to act as his personal body ?uard, after bis landing from the United tales man-of-war Dispatch, to the corner of Nassau aud wall streets, where the for? mal Centennial exercises will be held. The Sou them soldiers will carry a small blue flag, trimmed with varnished gold fringe, bear: ng the motto, "Valor and Virtue." The fing is the oldest existing re? volutionary cavnlr- emblem in existence, and has been carried in all the wars that have occurred since the United States became independent. When Col. Te.rleton was h iving pretty much all his own way in the Carolinas he was ordered to go South and destroy all property, he could. His force was 1,100 men. Gen. Morgan, of the Continental Army, 1,000 strong, hurried to meet him. Col. William Washington, a cousin of Gen. George Washington, was then in Charleston with his troop of eighty men. On receiving word from Gen. Morgan he lost no time in preparing to march with bis men. Leaving Charleston he passed his mother's house. She stopped him aud presented the troop with the flag, which she had madu from her silk dress. It was on January 14,1781, when they set out for the scene of action at Hanna's Cowpens, and as they neared the place the sound of battle grew louder and loud? er. Very soon; they came upon the Con? tinental trocps, who were retreating before Tarleton. Col. Washington, with his men, pushed to the front and met Tarleton's troops in a wild charge. The little blue flag was continually in the front. The Continentals reformed and followed up the advantage gained by the arrival of Col. Washington and his men, and eventually won the battle. During the late war the light infantry were in the Confederate ranks, and although many attempts were made to capture the flag, they proved unavailing. Major Douglass Walker, who served with the Washington Light Infantry during the late war, has lately become a resident of Brooklyn. He will take part in the parade, by request of Major Bryan, Mayor of Charleston, S. C, and Major E. C. Gilchrist, the commander of the troop. Their headquartere will be at the Put? nam House, where the trophy will be exhibited.?New York Star, The Clemson Will Case. Charleston, 8. C, April 17.?A ref? erence was held to-day in the Clemson will case before United States commis? sioner, J. E. Hagood, of the circuit court. A mass of documentary evidence was submitted. The only oral evidence Bub? mitted was that of Pat Calhouu, who tes? tified that there was an agreement and understanding between himself aud Gid? eon Lee, the father of Miss Lee, who is contesting the Clemson will, that if they should succeed in winning the suit and recovering the Fort Hill property bequeathed to the State, the place was to be sold to the witness, Pat Oalhoun, at a reasonable figure. The reference was then adjourned to Abbeville. The counsel on both sides have agreed to argue the case before Chief Justice Fuller, who is expected here an May. ' COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE. Belton Items. The cold wave passed, and sunshine again gladdens our hearts. There is now a flattering prospect of an abundant fruit crop. The favorite bean planting day is just over, and the Easter eggs are all broken, so we may hope to escape damag? ing late frosts. A blighting frost would he most unwelcome in Borne of our fine gar? dens here, and would spoil the anticipated early dinners of green peas. G. W. McQee wears the belt of excellence, and will hand around the dish in a few days. A. N. Todd is cleaning up his berry bowls. Strawberries grow on his vines by quarts. When he collects his picking force it will be a good lime for a hungry, guant, pale facad newspaper reporter to be on hi? rounds. * The day will be gladly welcomed when fruit and vegetables can Sil the un comforta? ble vacancy created by the lack of fish and Fall chickens. Turkeys wore all eaten last Christmas, save- the fine lot slaught? ered in one day and eaten in extravagance. A car load of splendid beeves was ship? ped by here last Saturday by Mr. Rose. Unless he is more considerate for us, we will not feel aggrieved if he and his roses should never be transplanted here. Wo were pleased to have Mi*. G. ,W. McGce return after an extended trip over the State. He is the feeder of this town, and is very much in place when at home. Now that he has rested up he will be again on his rounds of repairing, building and beautifying. The old fence just below the hotel, when reset and painted, will much improve the surroundings. Intendant Geer is determined not to be outdone, and is putting our streets in good order. Energy and excellent judgment leave creditable marks in work of this kind. Miss Emma Clinkscales is visitiDg friends in Abbeville. Guard your hearts, boys. Before you are aware of it there will be a necessity for a health visit to Belton. Physicians and druggists can't fur? nish relief for the malady. Beware, boys! There was au unsuccessful attempt at committing suicide by John B.King last week. Strychnine was taken in sufficient quantity to destroy life, but the usually powerful drug failed to act with full effect. Dr. Harris attended him, and reports the case quite beyond danger. Belton will soon enjoy the conveniences of the telephone. Todd Bros, new Arctic Soda Water Fount is in operation to the entire satis? faction of all who can enjoy a delightful drink. J. T. Cox & Co. gives everybody an in? vigorating cold shake. The most stirring incident of Uie week -was an impromptu niconlight-four o'clock-in- the-moraing-neighborhood bear hunt here in Belton. A colored woman and an insignificant dog succedeed in spreading the wild alarm that a loose bear was wandering about slaying dogs and other animals as he met them. The owner of the premises, armed with a re? volver and an axe, set out in pursuit of Bruin. He was soon followed by a neigh? bor en dishabille, with pants in hand and two axes ; then the son of the neighbor with three axes, all in hot pursuit. Not succeeding in overtaking the beast, the would be hunters set about searching for tracks. The son following the father found a monstrous track, and loudly called his father to see it. The chase had been in progress sometime, and the tired, sore footed, half discouraged father went back and recognized, with disgust, his own four? teen inch impress in the sand. The dozen dogs were abandoned, axes thrown down, and men worn out returned to their beds, and left his bearship to still wear his cov? eted robe. Kappa. flonea Path Items. Married, in Honea Path, on last Wed? nesday night, by Rev. D. W. Hiott, Mr. W. T. Sprousc and Miss M. A. Bratcher, all of Abbeville County. Revs. A. C. Stepp, of Princeton, and R. D. Hawkins, of Little River, were in town last week. Mr, Arthur Glenn and his sister, of Pel zer, are visiting their uncle, Rev. M, McGee. Miss Anna L. Dargan made a short visit to her home in Greenville last week. Mr. John P. Bagwell, of Flowery Branch, Ga., was in town last week. . Last Friday a party of citizens went fish? ing on Broadmouth. We had a delightful time, and a goo i many fish were caught. As we had vessels to cook in, and some cooks to do the cooking, in due time the announcement was made "dinner's ready," and it did not take much begging to get the people around the table. We had a Parson to ask a.blessing, and a Doctor to get the fish-bones out of throats, should any get in. The young people coupled off to fish, &c. I believe there was some fishing done on dry land. Why can't all places be sociable?like ours?and just be like one family and have things in common ? It is so much pleasure. Prof. W-went with some friends on Broadmouth last Saturday. I don't know whether the Professor caught anything or not, but he certainly must think there are some good fish there, for he goes in that direction right often. I reckon he goes fish? ing. Last Wednesday night we had a Bible reading on Temperance, conducted by Mr. M. I. Brock. Several short and pointed sps eches were made in connection with the reading. Our people are getting in earnest on the Temperance question. It does seem like all dry towns ought to be dry. Messrs. L. A <fc T. H. Brock have been furnishing our people with some very fine beef. They have it shipped from the West on ice. Mr. E. H. Prather, of Due West, accom? panied by Mr. Kennedy, passed through our town last Saturday on their way to Mr.-, but I had better not tell, for I think Eugene's best girl lives there. Sac cess to you, friend Prather. Mr. T- H. Brock is having his place very much improved. The roof of his house has just been painted, and a beautiful picket fence put up. My advice to our bachelors is to look how nice and home? like everything looks at Mr. Tom's, and then follow his example. How nice^to have a home, and then some one to make home pleasant. I reckon the Irishman was right when he said it was so pleasant to be alone, especl dly "when yer sweet heart is wid ye." He certainly voiced the senti? ment of some of our young men. Messenger. Fearless Freaching. Hokea Path, S. C April 20, 188D. At the Baptist Church here on last Sun? day morning Rev. D. W. Hiott took for his text, " Cry aloud and spare not," and, if he has any fear of popular feeling, he seemed to throw it all aside, and carried out the injunctions of bis text. He spoke of the inordinate desire for money as the great evil of the day, entering into every profes? sion, and influencing the lives of men for evil. The pulpit, he said, is not entirely free from its pernicious influence. Some times even preachers, fearing that they may lose paying position, allow evils to remain unrebuked in their churches, and bring evils upon them as Achan's sin did upon the children of Israel. No church can hope to prosper when pastor and church screen evils that they know to exist. School teachers sometimes, in order not to lose patronage, shrink from a wholesome enforcement of discipline. People will sometimes buy goods and not pay for them. Merchants, who profess to he Chris tians, w'ill sometimes sell goods on Sunday, committing a crime not only against the laws of God but even against the law of the land. Horse-traders often mention al'. thegood qualities of their horses, and say nothing of the bad. This ia lying, because it is done with the intention to deceive. When he reached the liquor question all was breathless attention. Proceeding, he said: Man will sometimes sell their souls aud bodies for the loye of money. Judas Iscariot did so. Liquor dealers, who bring misery upon wives and children, whose profits are the life and blood of innocent sufferer*, shall account, to some extent, in this life by disasters upon their families ; but their doom shall be, in the world to come, when the blood of those who have been brought to destruction by their nefa? rious piactice shall bo required at their hands, and when they shall be condemned to suffer for the woes and miseries that they have caused in thi3 world. The service of the regular Wednesday night prayer-meeting was a Bible reading on temperance. This service was conduc? ted by M. I. Brock, and participated in by several others. It is said there is going to be a systematic effort, in town and country, for the enforcement of legal prohibition in this County. Citizen. Holland's Store Mr. Charlie Carter, who is attending school at Dalton, Ga., spent a week at home with his parents recently. Planting will about wind up this week. The earliest corn will be ready to receive the first working by the time our farmers get ready for it. Wheat and all small grain crops are booming. The fruit is still all right, and if no harm befalls it will be simply splendid. We will not forget the printers when the har? vest arrives. Death has again entered this section, and removed one of our best citizens in the person of Mr. Thomas H. Anderson, which occurred on last Wednesday night, the 17th inst., in his 60th year. His health had not been good for some years, but nothing serious was apprehended by his family t.nd friends until recently, when it waa known his heart was affected. Mr. Andersen was a ruling elder in Roberts Church for a number of years, and was always held in the highest esteem by all who knew him as a straight-forward, Chris? tian gentleman. He will be sadly missed, but we believe it can be said of him that he had chosen that good part that could not be taken away from him. Our sympa? thies go out' with the bereaved family in their bereavement. The remains were in? terred in the Roberts cemetery the follow? ing day. Rev. W. A. Hodges has recently been quite ill, but we are glad to say he is at present thought to be improving. We hope h<i will be restored to his wonted health. The fishing season is again upon us, and every fellow who can shoulder a cane and spare the time "is giving them a trial;" and no matter how truthful you may be counted in general matters, it is expected that a little prevarication will be indulged in, notwithstanding you may be a man of the cloth. We think Bill Arp struck it square when he said a fellow always feelB better on his way to the river than when returning. We^think so. Buhke. StorevlUe Items. The outlook for wheat aud oats is not very good at present, but we will have an abundatce of fruit this year, unless it is yet destroyed. Mrs. J'udd's vegetables are up, and they look well; but something is going wrong again, and it is of a much more serious nature than any April fool?our pork is npt sufficient for our vegetables. Do you take the hint, friend Burke ? Come early, and we will be delighted to see you. Mr. W. L. Brown and brother made a flying visit to their home in Hartwell re? cently. Mr. C. H. Bailey has had his tenant houses, barns, stables, etc., neatly painted. This, with his own residence and those of Messra. McAdams and Haddon, all of which are painted and can be seen from Mr. Bailey's, give the community much the appearance of a small village. The school at Carswell Institute holds up well. The average attendance now is about fifty. This is good for a country school at this season of the year. Many of the students have not been absent a day since they entered school in January last. From articles seen in the Hartwell and Elberton papers, it seems that Hon. Henry W. Grady, and o'ihers, will be sure to take a ride down the Savannah River ia July next. Wonder if they have told Mr. Gra? dy about those long, rough shoals over which he is to pass. One of them is said to be abc ut seven miles long, and the wa? ter runs very swiftly over the centre ledge. But Mr. Grady's life is insurod, we sup? pose, ahd if an accident should occur, which we hope may not be the case, Mrs. Grady would be safe. Judd. A Big Business in Oconee Lumber. We understand that the Seneca Lumber Company are preparing to do a big busi? ness in putting on the market large quantities of ash, poplar, white pine and other kinds of lumber cut from trees growing on the head waters of Seneca river. It ia said that they have logs enough cut now to make over l,oc'f?,000 feet, and are only waiting for a rise of the water to float them down to their large boom and mill near the railroad bridge over Seneca river at Bavenel's. This company have spent thousands of dollars in building and equipping their boom and mill, and their out-put of lumber, when tbey get fairly at work, will be the largest perhaps ever made in the Piedmont sec? tion. The work being done by them is doubtless some of the fruits of properly advertising Oconee's timber resources at the first New Orleans Exposition a few years ago. To Oconee belongs the honor of having the finest and largest collection, comprising over one hundred varieties, of any county in the State, aud South Caro? lina had the finest exhibit of timber at this exposition. The large and extensive exhibit from Oconee, we would say, was due to the efforts of Mr. G. Wanner more than any other citizen, who contributed about three months of his time to procure the specimens. The knowledge of our immense timber resources gained by the outside world at the New Orleans Expo? sition waj doubtless instrumental in the establishment of t he Seneca Lumber Company, and many are the fruits which the future has in store for our people in the proper development of the lumber in? terests of our county.?Keoxoee Courier. Prohibition Defeated; Boston, April 22.?One hundred and fifty-three cities and towns outside of Boston give; the following vote on the prohibition constitutional amendment: Yes, 43,354; no, 55,328. The vote in Boston is: Yes, 11,060 ; no, 31,085. The amendment is defeated by from 35,000 to 40,000 majority. ? A. M. E. Robinson, of Kenucka, Fla., who is an experienced fruit canner, claims to have discovered a process whereby oranges can be canned success? fully. It '.s said that the cost would notbe more than in canning peaches; that the labor, cans, labels and cases would cost $1.20 per case of two dozen. It takes four oranges of average size to fill a can. ? Editor Ellis H. Roberts took his chair an Assistant Treasurer in the sub treasury building Monday morning. Whenever a new Assistant Treasurer takes hold, the cash in the building is counted. Just now there are $182,892. 599.09 to be counted, and it will take a month to do it. The cash includes $118,502.124 in gold coin and $24,898,852 in silver dollars, bunched in bags of $5,000. A gang of laborers has been hired to lug the coin from the vaults to the scales and back again. The weighing is done in the vault rooms, shut in by doors that take two keys to unlock their,?

C, April 18.?Jasper Law son, a white man, aged 60 years, commit* ted suicide yesterday by drowning him? self in Tyger River, about eight miles from this place. No cause can be given for the suicide. He was a well-to-do farmer and was apparently perfectly sane. Nasiiville, Tenn., April 19.?Miss Nannie Totum of South Pittsburg was accidentally shot and instantly killed yesterday morning by her brother, Jos. Totum. Totum was awakened by cats fighting in the room occupied by his sister. Securing his revolver, he entered the apartment and fired at the cats. The bullet missed its mark aud pierced the brain of the girl. Pittsburg, April 17.?At Butler, Pa,, James Fields was fatally shot by his wife. Mrs. Fields was reading a book > and her husband ordered her to come to . bed. She refused to do so, when he got up and struck ber. She went to the bureau drawer and took out a revolver, telling him if he hit her again she would shoot him. He then struck her in the face, when she fired the revolver inflic? ting a fatal wound. Before dying Fields made a sworn statement, exonerating his wife, in which he stated that she had shot in self-defense. She is still at liberty. The coroner's jury haB rendered a verdict that her act was one of self-defense. Minneapolis, Minn., April 20.?A Duluth special Bays: "As a train of fourteen loaded cars with Superintend? ent Pope's private car attached was de? scending a heavy grade between Two Harbors and Gakadina on the Duluth & Iron Range railroad, the air brakes refused to work and the train gained a frightful velocity. A brakeman managed to uncouple the private car, which was soon stopped by band-brakes. The rest of the train plunged madly on, reaching a speed of 110 miles an hour. Finally the train left the track, demolishing the engine and all the cars. Engineer Charles Culter had both legs broken and two other men were seriously injured. Culter is the famous snow-plow hero of the Northern Pacific road. Minneapolis, Minn., April 1G.?A bold and nearly successful attempt was made at noon to-day to rob the State Bank. Two men went into the bank when only two employeeu were present. One covered the employees with a re? volver, while the other vaulted over the railing and thrust about $8,000 on tho teller's table into a valise. At this mo? ment a depositor entered; and thus forced the uncovering of the assistant cashier, who rushed to the safe to get bis revolver. The robber threw the valise to his accomplice, who dashed into the president's room by mistake. He then jumped through the window and fled. Meanwhile the other man had also escap? ed. There was a wild rush, in which three or four policemen joined, and final? ly the two robbers were caught and lodg? ed in jail. The names of the men are given aa James Henry and Fred Doug? lass. Gallatin, Mo., April 22.?One of the boldest railroad robberies ever perpe? trated by a single robber in Missouri occurred at Pattonsburg, on the Wabash road, Friday night, and has just leaked out. About nine o'clock Friday night one masked burglar entered the station at Pattonsburg. He covered the agent, the one person in the station, with a pistol, and demanded the key, which he received. He then made the agent oc? cupy a given position and proceeded to plunder. He cleaned the office out of everything valuable, securing money estimated at from $6,000 to $10,000. The booty was one express package of $8,000, a letter addressed to the PattonBburg bank containing $1,000 and a number of express packages, He also took all the express, freight and ticket funds and robbed the agent of his own money and valuables. The robber then backed out of tho station, mounted a horse and rode away. The agent on Saturday notified Superintendent McGee, of tho Wabash & Western. Mr. McGee communicated with detectives in St. Louis and a search for the robber was started which has been without success. Springfield, Mass., April 18.?At West Farms, a farming hamlet midway between Westfield and Montgomery and five miles from Westfield Centre, this morning Joseph King, a wealthy and well known citizen 78 years of age, was Bhot and killed by Edgar King, his eldest son, and the house fired and burned. Some time after shots were heard near by direc? ting the assembled neighbors to a spot twenty rods away where the murderer was found lying in a pool of blood, having shot himself. He died in a couple of hours. The crime is chargeable to an unbalanced mind, caused by long contin? ued dissolute habits. The act was pre? meditated,and young King had planned to kill an aunt also, but could not get into her room. His father was Bhot while lying in bed and in his wife'B presence. The other occupants of the house saved the murdered man's body from the burn? ing house but could not save the building. The murderer had ruined himself by drink and his wife had obtained a di? vorce. For several years be had lived upon means furnished by his father but had exhausted that source of income; hence the tragedy. St. Louis, April 19.?Information comes from Dale County, Ala., that five Mormon missionaries were severely whip? ped and driven from the County last Monday night. These men had been holding meetings among the ignorant classes of the County and had formed a colony to go to Utah. This had been carried on against the judgment of the better class of citizens, but no action to Btop it was taken until the last issue of the Ozark Star advised the people to tar and feather the Mormons and drive them away. Monday night some forty of the so-called best citizens of the Northern part of tho County, without the slightest attempt at disguise, surrounded the bouse of Gid Irons, a recent convert, who was entertaining five missionaries. Without delay they were brought out, stripped to the waist and tied in a row. Then each of the regulators, with a long switch, struck each of the prisoners a sounding blow. By the time the last blow was given two of the men had fainted and the others were wet with blood. After the whipping, the men's legs were given a coating of tar and feathers, and they were warned to leave instantly or suffer death. Irons was told that if Mormons were found in his house again he too would be whipped. The names of the MormonB are Asa F. Hixson, J. H Hagaroo, M. F. Miller, John Pearce and A. Morrison. They have gone to Henry County, but it is certain that if they attempt to hold meetings there they will again be whipped. Their followers in Dale County talk of avenging the whip? ping ; but if anything of that kind is at? tempted blood-shed will follow. A Plea for Irrigation. To the Editor of the News and Courier: I notice with interest the laudable efforts of the News and Courier to encourage the agriculture of South Carolina. Diversi? fied crops, with hog and hominy, tobacco, ramie and the like, are all presented to the farmer in earnest and sensible arti? cles. But there is one thing yet which has not been brought into sufficient promi? nence, and now, while big prizes are of? fered for big cropB, I think it a good time to agitate the subject and ask the help of the News and Courier in bringing it before the public. I refer to irrigation. This is what has brought California out, aud it will do the same thing for South Caro? lina. While many farmers are anxious to try it, they are not sufficiently acquainted with the system. The plans, the cost, the whole business are generally unknown to them. The State farms should give us an object lesson, if even upon a small scale, but let it be practical and complete. Let bulletins be issued and distributed among thefarmers.giving plans,specifications aud pictures for the irrigation, aay of one acre of branch bottom or upland, in a cheap, simple, yet practical manner. The rich red soil of this Piedmont country gets quite thirsty at times, and if irrigation pays so well elsewhere we would like to bqq it tried here. Farmer, Spartanburg, 8. C. ?

An effort is being made to get the Florida Legislature to pass a law estab? lishing a fish commission. The fish bus? iness is one of the growing industries of Florida, for which it is peculiarly adapted by its extensive coast line, numerous lakes and tide water rivers. ? It is stated that William K. Vander bilt will build near Asheville, N. C, the moBt magnificent private residence in the south. Some months ago he began the purchase of property near Asheville, and now owns four thousand acres, ou which be will shortly erect a mansion three hundred feet in length. - The cost of the estate when completed will be over one million dollars. ? Carter Colquitt, son of Wm. H. Colquitt, of Atlanta, Ga., died in Utica, N. Y., Tuesday, where he had been taken for treatment in a hospital. He gradua? ted at Emory College last fall, and was a brilliant young man. Recently be developed symptoms of brain fever, and died a few hours after reaching the hos? pital. His illness is attributed by his at tending physician in Atlanta to excessive cigarette smoking. ? Bishop Temple of London relates that when he was once worshiping in an East-end church, where a musical ser? vice is a distinguishing feature, he joined in the singing to the best of his ability. A workingman, not recognizing the dignitary beside him, and after fidgeting beside him, finally nudged the Bishop, at the same time whispering: "I say, gub'ner, you dry up; you're spoiling the whole show." ? Governor Taylor, of Tennessee, the "Fiddling Bob" of the campaign of 1886, keeps up his dally practice on his favor? ite instrument. Callers at the Executive Mansion not infrequently hear the tones of a violin as soon as they enter the house, and the same sounds often follow them as they leave. No matter what the Governor's anxiety or irritation, he at once becomes happy if left alone to play. Men who kuow him assert that his skill as a player is wonderful. ? A number of military companies have accepted invitations to attend the celebration to take place on the 3rd of May next on the Guilford battle-ground, near Greenboro, N. C. The grounds are to be prepared by the erection of boothp, stands, etc, which will be decorated with bunting. The "Guilford Battle Ground Continentals," in gay and picturesque uniforms, will take part. Preparations will be made for the entertainment of ten thousand people, and Senator Vance is expected to make an address. ?

His hair has a slight Bprinkling of gray, but his form is erect, his step firm and his eye bright. He is not a very handsome man, but he is an imposing Indian and looks like what he is?a great chief. He speaks very little English. He owns a big farm, raises corn for sale and is rich enough to live comfortably without doing work with his own hands. He hires younger Indians to work his farm. ? A special dispatch to the New York Herald from Birmingham, Ala, says : "The negro preachers of this city have taken up the fight against; the White Republican Protective Tariff League, which proposes to put tbe negro out of the councils of tbe party and to keep him from sharing its rewards. The ministers are denouncing the new movement from the pulpit and tbe iectnre platform, and the Rev. W. R. Pettiford, pastor of the colored Baptist Church, has gone to Washington to talk the matter over with the President. Tbe ministers are stir? ring up a strong and bitter feeing among tbe negroes against a movement which they believe is intended to drive them out of tbe Republican party and ulti? mately disfranchise them. Many negroes have already announced that they will go over to the Democratic party. The new movement is certain to divide the negro vote if it does not break the solid South." CLOSED BY SHERIFF, Everybody Interested In tide Sftd Mis fortune of Piedmont lOe. Store. Last Saturday night C. S. Minor & Go's, board bill fell due. Their landlord called on them for rent, and, above all else, their first month's clerk hire must be paid. Low prices had failed to attract the crowds.. They had a good stock of goods, already paid for, but no one would buy anything. What were they to do ? The boarding mistress threatened to turn them off, but she let them stay until Monday. Still no one would buy anything." Creditors raved and foamed at the mouth. The Minor boy got sick of it, and joined a drinking mob in an? other part of town. Mr, Browne said he would not work unless they planked down the where-with-all. Mr. Holloway got low-spirited, and took to drinking. What a pitiful sight to see husbands drunk, while children cry for bread! Add to this the Sheriff and boarding Mistress locking up their Store. Other merchants were he&rd whispering, "I don't wonder; I'm glad of it; they sold i ? A reporter asked Senator Quay the other day if it were true that he was bothered by office-seekers. The wily Pennsylvanian said: "The half concern? ing them has never been told. Why they actually commenced coming to my house before breakfast and kept it up in a steady stream until midnight. They did not seem to realize thai' they we're possibly injuring their own chances by this. Indeed, I believe that many of them are insane on the question of get? ting an office, and do not realize what they are doing. On account o,: being chairman of the national committee I was bothered more in this W3y than any of the other Senators. I had people come to me whom I had never seen or beard of before and never expect to see again. The large number of tbem were not representative members of the party, but rather the scum. There were more office-seekers this time than ever before, for all the men who were put out four years ago wanted their old offices back, and then there were dozens of new appli? cants for each office. Fortunately, they were all fairly well supplied with funds and did not have to fall back on the Congressmen like the Democrats did four yearB ago, when many of the Representa? tives were expected to board a number of their constituents." ? Civilization is fatal to the pictures? que. Just as it has robbed the American continent of its majestic forest and subdi? vided the boundless prairies into petty parcels of tenanted land, so, too, it threat tens to make the buffalo, as wo customa? rily call our bison, a thing of the past. But while the decrease in the number of these wild animals could not, in the na? ture of things, have been avoided, it has undoubtedly been hastened by the need? less slaughter so often excused and digni? fied by the name of sport. That in the four years from 1868 to 1872 3,500,000 buffaloes should have been slaughtered in the country west of the Mississippi and south of the Missouri is not credi? ble either to those who permitted i.i those who engaged in it. There are now only 750 head of buffalo, wild and domesticated, on the whole American continent, and unless some measures shall be taken looking to their preservation that number is also likely to be reduced.

Some, though, were more kindly sympathetic and condoled with them. Nothing would help them but trade, and trade they could not get. They could do nothing but drink to deaden sorrows.
