"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?

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

On our last preaching day our pastor
left at the close of his sermon to go to
Lowndesville to assist Rev. D. W. Hiott
in a meeting. Soon alter he left a couple
wishing to pay their matrimonial vows,
came into, our community looking for
him. 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. So they
went on their way, but not rejoicing.
Wonder if they have found a preacher yet?

? "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.

neck," who has boon earning a livelihood
for some time in New York by exhibiting

was provontod from accomplishing his
purpose, wo believe, by tho very misfor
tuno which was probably tho cause of the
attempt. "It is a question whether a man
in this miserable condition should not bo

and unhappy existence, which most poo

only of faith and prayers. Of course the
clergymen have not aud will not accept

however, extend a similar challongo to

convince him of the efficacy of prayer, to
pray that ho would bo drownod. The
