Todd and Brown, who had made a post mortem examination of the body, the jury rendered a verdict that the boy died from natural causes. When a man is nosing aiound seeking some excuse to find fault or kick against improvement, it is never difficult for him to find something. To be a little more plain we would say that just now we refer to the few who want some excuse to kick against a new Court House. If a man is born cross-ways in this world it is awful bard for him to get straight; in fact if he ever does, ho puts on green goggles with cracked glass in them.

Ho is well equipped to do the duties that will bo required of him, and very efficiently too. he having had several years experi? ence at teaching, and, being a graduate of that renowned college, Hampton-Sidney, is enough in itself to guarantee him suc? cess. He has left many friends behind who will ever wish him well." A fow days ago onr old friend, Capt. M. B. Williams, met with a paiuful accident by fracturing the thigh bono of his right leg. It was after dark and he was in bis buggy, having been away on a visit. He was driving into his yard, when the buggy struck a grind stone,"and be was throwu out with such force as to cause the injury. Fortunately, his son was nearly and he, hearing tho noise, ran to his side and as? sisted him into the house. Capt.

The ceiliDg of the piazzas and nearly all of the rooms have the natu? ral wood finish. Throughout the house is handsomely finished, and all of the work, except doors, sash and blinds, was done in Anderson. Mr. Smith has certainly done Mr. Seybt a neat, substantial job. Messrs. E. W. Brown & Sons did not have time to prepare their new advertise? ment this week, but look out for it next week. It should be borne in mind that these gentlemen are now occupying A. G.

Hawki?s, Pastor Lebanon Church: "ichabod Crano" J? Ablo to Take Care of Ulmself. Slatow.v. S. C, Oct. 2, 1S91. Mit. Editor : In your issue of the 1st inst. is a communication from "Joe Berry Fundorbunker," in which that heavily tum de plumed autocrat, suffering, no doubt, from an excessive accumulation of green bile, joins "Selah" in dubbing "Icha bod Crane," and others, I care not whom, "Smart Alex's.'' Ichabod is able to take care of himself in auy sort of a contro? versy, whether it bo with the bald-headed Tail of a modern Psalm, or with a corn inspector, who feels more pleasure in find? ing whero tho "shoo pinches'' than in working on the public roads. The meaning of the word Selah invited Crano to rest after the music, and he was very willing to do so, for he had carried bis point. The mud was taken from off the floor of Slab bridge, and the sleeper was replaced. Good! It has beon said: ?'We know who this fellow Ichabod Crane is, and he has no business to meddle with tho County affairs." However, we shall see. There is more work to be done. Loading from that very bridge is a divis? ion of public road which has not been worked this year. In that road is a gully?mind you, ono that cannot bo avoided?in which vou might bury Selah out of sight if he were spun out as thin as Joe Berry. Again, last Spring an over? seer was appointed in this neighborhood ?months later hands were assigned to him. Who is to blame because his road was not worked? What Joe-Berry-Cephas-In-The-Blos som wili rise and say this is false and slaw dcrovs? Oh braying D-s you are giving your Baalam a deal of trouble 1 But he will belabor you until you find more pleasure in doing your duty than in treading on other people's corns. Crane is charitablo. He thinks the finances of the County have been admirably man? aged, and for this ho heartily says: "Three cheers for the Commissioners!" But, gentlemen, do not be guilty of the sin of omission. You are salaried officers. Your services belong to the people. On last election day at sunset you became the servants of the people. You were bought with the precious price of their votes. Ich. thinks if you do not serve them they ought to know why. Now, gentlemen, don't you t&ll "Ioha bod Crane'' a liar or a slanderer, for if you do there will be mutiny in the camp. He eits behind an array of facts, which will remain in sight until they are covered with brush and dirt; for these facts are in the gully between Capt. G. A. Rankin's and Slab bridge. Do not lose your temper, for the fault is not iu Crane. Do your duty, and then we will all rally around the grave of de? parted gully and buried mud-hole. Un? til thou you may expect to hear from Ichabod Crane. Piedmont News. The weather has been all that the far? mers could desire for the last three weeks, and cotton picking is progressing fine. If the weather continues fair and warm the entire crop will be opened and tho most of it gathered in another month. Aller all, I don't think we will get over two-thirds of a crop of cotton?corn is full, and I think we are pretty safe for corn-bread another year. Little Willie, son of Benj. Shirley, aged about nine or ten years, was accidentally shot with a pistol by a small boy, Bon of Mr. Carroll, on last Friday. It seems that the pistol was lying on the mantle, and, in some way, the boy discharged the pistol while looking for something on the mantle. Shirley's boy, being in the house, tho ball took effect in the back of the head, ranging downward, from the ef? fects of which he died Saturday night. Mr. Shirley has tho heartfelt sympathy of this entire community. About two years ago an older-brothsr to the one killed was run over by a freight train?or a part of it ?and had one of his leg? cut off. It does look like we ought to have a law to prohibit the careless handling of pistols and guns, for there are too many accidents happening every year from carelessness. Mrs. Rebecca Russell, relict of the late Wm. Russell, of Pickens County, died here on last Tuesday night, and was buried near Central, in Pickens County, on Thursday. * Water is "very low in the river now.

They had left the Campmeeting be? cause tbey could not "face the music" before such a large crowd. You ought to have seen them when they were told that the preacher had gone. "Luke," who has traveled the same road himself, pro? posed to assume the clerical robe long enough to answer their purpose, but they would not second the motion.

"Tho bounty which tho Covernmont offers on sugar," says the Indianapolis Journal, "has undoubtedly stimulated tho production of boet and sorghum sugar in Nebraska, Kansas, Utah, and California. Tho output in Kansas, which is from sor? ghum, will exceed 3,000,000 pounds, while one boot sugar factory will turn out 0,000,000 pounds and another in Lehigh, U. T., will yield 7,000,000, and tho total of the three States and Territory above named will reach 27,000,000 pounds. The boet sugar appears much more successful than the sorghum," No part of tho ro gion here defined is in tho South. If tho Journal will considor tho olrcumstance at? tentively it will understand, we are sure, why a Republican Congress are so ready to abolish the protective duty on cane su? gar and offer a liberal bounty intorest for the production of all kinds of tho pro? duct. ?

"It is a question whether a man in this miserable condition should not bo allowed to put an ond to his worthless and unhappy existence, which most poo plo would docide in tho affirmatlvo, do spito Biblical toachings to tho contrary." ? A Wisconsin infidel promises to em? brace Christianity provided the ortho? dox ministers of that State will consent to allow thomselves to bo towed in a scow to the centre of Lake Michigan and there left without sail, oars or rudders, and thereafter come safe to port with the help only of faith and prayers. Of course the clergymen have not aud will not accept his sophistical proposition ; they might, however, extend a similar challongo to the infidel, they promisiug, in order to convince him of the efficacy of prayer, to pray that ho would bo drownod. The advantage of this method ovor tho former is the difference of tho value of the lost articles. ? The Secretary of tho U. S. Treasury has issued a circular to custom officers in regard to tho packing of cotton on ships. It embodies the result of the investiga? tion of fire in tho cotton cargo on tho British stoaniship City of Richmond, in Juno last, conducted by the British Gov? ernment, and declares that the frequency of fires on ships carrying cotton is in great measure owiug to the looso condi? tion of the packing of bales.
