Weber'? "History of South Carolina," which was recently is? sued: "In hU account of what South Car? olina did in the war be did not even men? tion that Gens. Maxcy Gregg and S- R. Gist were killed in battle, and there are other omissions equally aa rematfeable." When tbe history first appeared we called attention to some facts concerning ic which would well nigh prove fatal to ltd eucceec aa a text book. Mr. J. N. Willingbam, of tbe Belton section, gave the JvrBurjKNCaa a pleas ant call Tuesday, and reported everything xjuiet and the farmers hard at work in his .section. Six years ago Mr, Willingbam ceased merchandizing and went to farm? ing and has succeeded well. He began at first to raise bis own supplies and make cotton a surplus crop, and as a conse? quence the cry of "hard times" never af? fects him. He always has corn and meat to sell, and holds his cotton as long aa ho desires. He isays the cotton crop is con? siderably decreased in bis section this year, and that the grain crop3 are very "ging. Mr. Willingham ianotronly a ler, but s good citizen, and we talk with him; The committeo of arrangements requests ns to announce that there will be a pic nie at Piercetown o.-a Saturday, 28th inst Several speakers ha re been invited, and a brass baud will be present to furnish mu? sic for the occasion.

Tbe rose was grown In hi? mother's gar? den, is known as the Paul Neyron, and was 5i inches in diameter and about 17 inches in circumference The petals were im menftp, and some of the lareest were three times es large as a silver 50 Cents piece. The rose was a lovely pink iu color, and could easily rank as tbe queen among Sowers against any competitors. Gainesville (Ga.) Eagle: "We had the pleasure of a visit from Mr. A. V. Rich? ardson, of Bruno, Anderson County, S, C, last Tuesday. He is a relative of Dr. R. F. Smith, of Easley, S. C, who resided in Gainesville a short while a few years ago, and while bere made many, warm per? sonal- friends who remember hi in very kindly. Mr. Richardson is a courteous and eultured gentleman, and we regret that his visit to our city was so brief." On Wednesday morning Sheriff Bolt informs us that William Wilson is stead i Simproving, and that the doctor says at if his condition continues as favora bly as it has for tbe last few days he will cer? tainly get well. The stitobes first made in sewing up his neck broke loose,, owing to the sloughing of the cut, and the other day "his head had to be sewed on again," which was done with silver wire, and Wil? son went through the intensely painful operation without one time giving indica? tion of tbe agony he must have suffered. Tbe annual Convention of the stock? holders of the Port Royal & Western Car? olina Railroad was held in Augusta on the 10th insr. In the absence of Presi? dent Alexancir. Hon. W. L. Mauldin. of Greenville, was electeu Chairman of the Convention. The Secretary read a let? ter from Gen. Alexander tendering his resignation as President of the Road, to go into effect, as soon .as his successor was elected. All the former officers were re elected, except Gen. Alexander and Di? rector John C. Calhoun, as follows; H. M. Comer, President; ?. D. Workman, Secretary, and B. E. Epperson, Superin? tendent. The Directors are: H. M. Co? mer of Savannah, W. L. Mauldin uf Green? ville, S. C.; E. F. Verdery, J. H. Alex? ander, E. K. Schoneider and J. B. Cum ming of Augusta ; W. L. Gray of Laurcns, S. C.; John Ferguson of Greenville, T. J. Moore of Spartanburg, S- Bleckley of An? derson, J. A. Barksdale of Lauren3, J. J. PIubs of Laurens and W. W. Humphreys of Anderson. On Saturday evening a lot of about forty bales of cotton on the Savannah Valley platform caught fire, and in response to the alarm tho fire companies ran to the scene with their usual promptness. Iu a few minutes four streams of water were playing on the tire, and it was quickly subdued. It is supposed a spark from an engine started the fire, as the wind was favorable to Buch an accident. The cotton was damaged, considerably, but the prompt action of the fire companies and citizens prevented what promised to be the destruction of both the cotton and tbe depo'-. Mr. Sylvester Bleckley had placed the cotton there, but as he had received way bills for it the loss does not fall upon him. Anderson's firemen, white and col? ored, fight fire bravely, with an eye single to the saving of burning property, fear? less of danger and regardless or tbe ruin? ing of their clothes, which frequently hap? pens, and the loss falls on him whose suit is ruined. There is not a better volunteer fire department anywhere. Editor Hemphill, of the Medium, is rather monotonous and wild on pcUtlcs, but he is capital on war reminiscesjes. He would make a more interesting paper by developing his talent more freely tn that direction. In his last issue he Bays: "To-day is the twenty-eighth anniversa? ry of tbe battle ot Spottsylvania C. H., which was fought on tbe 12th day of May, 1SGL It was a cool and rainy day, and the battle was one of tbe most desperate ever fought on this continent. McGowan's brigade took a conspicuous part iu it. Tbe brigade was ordered in to retake the line which had been captured from Gen. Edward Johnson's division. The line was recaptured and held for eighteen hours, the sti uggle being across the breast-works and the opposing lines not more than twenty steps apart. Gen. McGowan was wouuded early iu the battle and Col. J. N. Brown, of Anderson, took command. At times the rain fell in torrents, but the firing was kept up in one continuous roll. So severe was the fire of small arms that a tree in the rear of our lines twenty-two' inches in diameter, was chipped down by miunie balls and fell across part of Orr';; Rifles. A section of tbe tree is now iu the National Museum at Washington. The loss of the brigade in killed, wounded and missing was 451." A telegram, was received ia the city last Monday rooming announcing the death of Rev. W. H. King, which occurred at the home of his sister at Auraria, Ga., eighteen miles northwest of Gainesville, on Sun? day night about 9 o'clock. Tbe announce? ment was a great shock to bis friends and acquaintances, as very few of tbem knew of his sickness or that he was away from home. Mr. King was at Auraria visiting a sister whom he. had not seen in forty six years, and It was his intention to have gone to Atlanta to attend the Southern Baptist Convention, but about two weeks preceding his death he was attacked with a severe cold, which soon developed into gneumonia. Mrs, King was notified of is illness the first of last Week, and she immediately went to his bedside. When she arrived there Mr. King told her he was going to pass away in a few days, as . he had had a presentiment of death. De? spite the close attention of physicians and his relatives, he gradually grew worse un? til the end came. On Tuesday Mrs. King returned to Anderson with the remains, and they were carried out and interred in Neal's Creek Churchyard, Rev. M. Mc Gee conducting the funeral services. Mr. King was 50 years of age, and was tbe youngest son of Rev. Robert King, de? ceased. He was born and reared in the 'County, and was well known in every section. In his young manhood he was a ntudent of Furman University, and was licensed to preach by the Saluda Associa? tion, within whose bounds he has labored nearly all of his life. He has a host of friends and relatives who deeply lament his death. He leaves a wife, four sons and :.hree daughters to cherish his memory, and in their sore bereavement they have many sympathizers. Among others, the following batch of indictments will be made by the Solicitor at the approaching Sessions: James Had don, murder. Haddon is a mulatto, and is charged with killing his wife's child. The next will be his second trial, his first resulting in a mistrial. Reed Morrison, arson and larceny. Morrison is a fine looking young white man. He is charged with burning Mr. J. B.

SEEL, West End Hotel U William Wilson'* Awful Deed. Last week just before going to press we learned of tbe unnatural and shocking homicide which had occurred near Pied? mont, in Brushy Creek Township, the day before, and tbe facts we could then gather were meagre and our space was limited. We stated that -Coroner Nance held the in? quest over the detid body, but find that was a mistake. Trial Justice J. D. Sittou, of that neighborhood, performed that duty. The citizens here were startled on learn ing of the dreadful tragedy, and everyone was eager to hear the details of the affair. Soon after the news reached here on Wednesday the Sheriff received a telegram asking bim to go to the scene and take charge of the prisoner, Wilson. In re? sponse to this Messrs. Bolt and Green se? cured a comfortable vehicle and went to the place, and putting the prisoner on a bed in the vehicle, brought him to this place; tbe trip apparently doing him no harm, though he was quite exhausted Iroru loss of blood. The removal of Wil? son was a precautionary measure, as there seeuns to be little donbt that be would have had justice hastily meted out to him by tbe citizens of the community had he remained there long. Feeling ran high, j and the people were intensely excited and I aroused. 1 Ou Friday afternoon we visited the pris? oner in Jail. He was lying on a pallet and said be was comfortable. He is a fairly good looking man, a little under the average height and size, has dark hair and a reddish sandy moustache, and seemed to be intelligent and is a very good talker, though he is a man of little education. He extended his hand for a ''shake" when we met bim, and talked freely on all subjects except the cause why he killed bis wife and tbe particulars of the killing. He said he might give statements concerning those things later. He said he was 34 years of age and his wife was five years his junior. They had been married about eight years, had three little children, the eldest about six years of age and the youngest not yet six months. He said he was a sober man and has been for the laat eight or nine years. He bad made money at farming up to tbe last year or two and had loaned money. He said he was satisfied to die and wanted to be hung in public. He didn't wan't a lawyer, lest be would only be sent to the penitentiary. He wanted tbe Judge to give him four hours in which to speak, and be would tell tbe history of his life just as it was. He supposed, though, they would lynch him before be got a trial.-A Bible lay by his side and he s?id be was reading Job, as tbeir casts were somewhat simi'ar, as great afflictions bad befallen both and both bad been de? serted by friends and children. He found that book very comforting. While it was thought last week that the wound Wilson had inflicted ou himself would prove fatal, there is now good rea? son to believe that be will recover. He himself said he thought he would get well. He has a good appetite, and is able to sit up at times. He was anxious to see hio little children and one or two of his friends from bis old home, he said. While at the Jail we met the Rev. T. H. Oarrrett, who is well known in this Coun? ty. Mr. Garrett married a sister of Mrs. Wilson, and at our request he consented to give us a statement concerning tbe un? fortunate occurrence. His information was gathered from statements made by Wilson's sister and tbe oldest child, who were the only witnesses of the awful crime, and from neighbors who arrived at tbe house soon thereafter. The following is Mr. Garrett's statement, and is doubt? less as nearly a correct account as can well be gotten of tbe murder: "One of the most horrible tragedies oc? curred last Tnesday morning in Brushy Creek Township that has ever occurred in the history of this County. W- H. Wil? son, better known as 'Bud' Wilson, coolly and deliberately attacked hie innocent and unsuspecting wife with an open razor and committed one of tbe most cowardly and brntal murders that bas ever been com? mitted in this country. "'Wihson Is the eldest son of Mrs. Sarah Wilp.on, of Greenville City, and a brother of Mr. John Wilson, an honorable and upright citizen of this County. He was boru and reared near Piedmont, this County, and is 34 years-old, Seven years ago he was married to Miss Laura Gar? rett. a daughter of Rev. J. Stobo Garrett, of Greenville County, who was about 28 years old when she met her terrible fate. Her amiable disposition, her pleasant and easy manner, together with her many noble virtnes and beautiful traits of char? acter, won for her the love and admira? tion of all who knew her. The entire family was bitterly opposed to her mar? rying Wilson. Ah! many a time did her father plead with streaming eyes that she never speak to bim again, but Cupid bad done bis work and fate had sealed her doom. " Wilson'B father, a noble-hearted man, was killed during the late war, after which Wilson's home surroundings were not favorable to tbe growth of a moral and elevated disposition, and he grew to manhood with the idea implanted in his mind that no creation of the Master's was so frail and faithless as woman kind. This being tbe case, be was as a matter of course jealous of his wife from the day of their marriage, and began at once to bru? tally'mistreat her, accusing her of crimi? nal intimacy with some of the beet men in tbe community?men whose characters have ever been above suspicion?all with? out the shadow of reason. Among all those who knew her from her childhood to the day of her cruel death none ever sue picioned ber chastity, or found ought against ber spotless character, except the infamous scoundrel with whom she lived. "Beginning at their marriage, for if re? ports be true he whipped ber in less than a week, he never ceased his outrageous abuse until last Tuesday morning, when be suddenly brought.it to a close as stated above. It seems that he had recently been carrying her through a special coais'e of brutality, violently beating her for eight nights in succession, and at the same time telling her it had come to where somebody bad to die. Seeing she could stand it no longer, Bhe resolved to leave him and go to ber father's, to which ho consented, agreeing to give her the chil? dren, a good milch cow, all the household and kitchen furniture, and provision enough to last them perhaps the remainder of the summer. She was to leave the next day. Wilson's sister had come to stay awhile with them in order, if possi? ble, to prevent his mistreating his wife. His brother John and wife spent Monday night with them. After breakfast they started for borne a mile away. Mrs. Wil? son went to a trunk and took out a piece of goods, and spreading it on the bed be? gan to cut a little dress for one of the chil? dren. About that time WilBon come in and said he believed he would get ready and go to Greenville to see his mother. He asked his sister to put on a kettle of water, as he needed shaving, then turning to hia wife be asked her to hand him the razor, which was lying on a shelf near her. This she did, and turned again to her work, perfectly innocent of the treachery of the foul fiend, whom she had long since learned to dread as her brutal task-mas? ter, but had never suspected his intention of taking her lile in such a cowardly way. His own sister states that bhe herself had stepped into the kitchen, which is only about eight feet away, a floor extending from one to other, for someobjeot, leaving her brother whetting his razor. On enter? ing the door on her return she saw him coolly and deliberately, without a word, walk up behind his wife, seize her by the hair, pull back her head and make a rake at her throat. His sister seized him, Hung him out at the front door, telling his wife to make her escape. His wife snatched the baby from the cradle and lied to the kitchen, dropping it on the walk-way be? tween the houses, falling herself face fore? most in the kitchen door. Her little six year old daughter followed, screaming at the top of h or voice. Wilson ran around the house, and the little girl states, jumped ou ber mother with both feet, raised her head up by the hair, run his hand under, cutting her throat from ear to ear, almost severing her head from her body. The little girl was asked if her mother said anything. With quivering lips she re? plied, 'When pa Jumped on ma, sbe said please don't cut me any more, for I am dead now," but the demou was not to be deterred in his foul perfidy by the shrieks of a loving child or the pleadings of a dy? ing wife. "His deed accomplished, he left tbe house and started for the woods, but seeing sev? eral of the neighbors rushing toward him, who had been brought to the scene by the screams of his cistpr and children, he sud? denly stopped, on being ?b Hod to, and iu the yard began to saw his own neok", out ting a long shallow gash, not deep enough to aevpr the jugular veins, but cut the itrapbea, or windpipe, about half in two. He then ran about one hundred yards be? low the house and fell, but one of the men called to him und he got up and walked back into the yard. He was asked if he didn't know be would go to hell for what ho had donp. He said no. He soon sank i to the ground and lay there until he was carried into the house, The wounded wretch, wallowing in a pool of blood and writhing with pain, begged that they send to Piedmont for b> pbysi?lSP, which was promptly done, The only one to be bad was Dr. Noah Richardson, a young man just Irom Colleger who, notwithstanding his JftoL of age and experience, with true manhood and courage equal to the emer? gency, was soon seated by the side of the almost expiring man, stitching away liko a faithful seamstress on his trachea and tough hide. The next day Sheriff Bolt, accompanied by his faithful Deputy, N. R. Green, appeared on the sceno and bore Wilson away' in a large hack that had been carried for the purpose, to Anderson J Jail, where he is now safely lodged and doing well. "The people of the community felt themselves greatly outraged, and the only thing that kept them from lynching him at once was that he was thought to be in a dying condition. "Tbe sad intelligence wasaheavy shock to her aged parents, who live sixteen miles above Greenville. The sad news reached them Tuesday evening just at uight. They set out at once on the long, dreary journey, travelling all night through a heavy thunder storm, arriving about sunrise the next morniug. "Mrs. Wilson's remains were interred on the afternoon of the day following her death at Mountain Springs Church, and an immense crowd of friends gathered to witness the last sad rites over the mur? dered woman's body. The funeral was conducted by the Rev. D. I. Spearman, of the Baptist Church. Mrs Wilson, as well as her husband, were members of this Church. "I intended saying above that Mrs. Wilson had received a fearful gash on the breast, which alone was thought to be se ' vere enough to have caused her death. "1 have talked with Wilson since com? ing here, who now says that he brought on the whole trouble, aud could it be un? done he would not do it over again for a $1,000,000. He Bays that two minutes be? fore tbe deed was done he had never thought of such a thing." There being rumors that Wilson was perhaps iusane and that he had been iu tbe Asylum at one time, we asked Mr. Gdrrett if such was the case. He said Wilson had never been in the Asylum, had never been insane, nor was be ever at auy time thought to be. He said he had always been "insanely jealous" of his wife, as that expression is commonly used, but was a man of good sense, a bard worker, and had made money rapidly oiT of rented laud. Wilson has asked Mr. Garrett to take his children, which thai gentleman was willing and anxious to do, so that the motherless bairns will be well cared for and trained under the best influences and surroundings of a godly home. There is abundant testimony that Mrs. Wilson was a woman of high character, and was innocent of the base charges made against her by her husband. Her father and his family and her brother-in law, the Rev. Mr. Garrett, are known widely throughout this County, and none stand higher in the esteem and confidence of the people. Towards them and others on whom this horrible deed has brought euch heavy suffering, nothing but tender est sympathy and sorrow go out from the people everywhere.

Miller, Foreman; Andrew Craig, Jno. T. Burriss, M. B. Jackson, W. B. King, D. C. Brown, R. F. McKin ney, B. C. Maxwell, W. C. Lee, J. N. Watkins, S. A. Whittakor, E. M. Scott. S. J. McCully was sworn, and stated that the negroes were quarreling and cursed each other and then Marshall started towards Andrew, who, the witness thought, gave back a step or two, but he did not know whether it was to get out of the way or to get room to make a lick. Ho didn't think Marshall attempted to hit Andrew. Andrew hit only one blow. Dr. Nardin, sworn, said he was called to wait on Marshall Jones. He found him lying in Mr. McCully's yard. lie was wounded on the right side of the head and sovcral pieces of bono had been driven into the brain. The holo in the skull was about 1J inches by 2 inchos. An abscess 4 inches long, formed in tho brain, and almost complete paralysis resulted. Iu his opinion the blow which fractured the skull was the remote cause, aud the inflammation causing tho abscess was the immediate cause of death. In view of tho evidence tho jury pro? nounced this verdict: "Marshall Jones came to his death May 13th, 1802, from a blow on tbe head inflict? ed with a hoe In the hands of Andrew Palmer, on the 30th day of April, A. D., 1892, at the home of N. A. McCully, iu the city of Anderson, S. C, against the peace and dignity of the same State aforesaid." There were only two witnesses to the homicide, it seems, oue of whom was S, J. McCully, whose testimony is given above, aud the other was tho wife of An drow Palmer. A Bereaved Family. Mr3. Lucy Dean, the beloved wife of Mr. Samuel A. Dean, died at her home near Starr Station ou Wednesday, 11th iust., after a long and painfull illness, be? ing confined to bar bed six or seven months. Mrs. Dean was fifty-nine years of age, and a daughter of Moses Dean, de? ceased. She was born and reared and had always resided in the section where she died, and greatly beloved by a wide circle of friends aud relatives, all of whom will long cherish her memory. In early life she joined tbe Cross Roads Baptist Church, and throughout her life was a zealous and consistent member. She was a devoted wife and an affectionate mother, aud tbe bereaved husband and eight children who are left to mourn her death have tbe con? solation of knowing that she is now at rest with the blessed Saviour. On the day following her death the remaius were interred in the Cross Roads Churchyard, the funeral services being conducted by her nephew, Rev. I. R. Dean, of Texas, who was visiting the family. On Friday afternoon, just foity-eight houes after the mother had been laid to rest, death again visited tbe household and this time bore away a daughter and sister, Miss Rosa Dean, who had been in feeble health for several mouths with that ever fatal disease, consumption. Miss Dean was twenty-thrue years of aye, and was highly esteemed by her frieuds and aecjuuiutiiMces. She, too, was prepared for thesummous of dealb, and is now at rest with her devoted mother. Her re? mains were buried ou Saturday at Cross Roads by the side of her mother. This is certainly a bereaved household, and tbe aged father and other members of the family have the sympathies of all their friends and acquaintances, Fosbody Scholarships.

In the absence of our pastor last sec? ond Sunday, Mr. Phalams, of Furman University, preached. Thero was a largo crowd present. It was tho day for the administration of the Lord's Supper, but our pastor not being present it was post? poned until tho fourth Sunday in this month. The pulpit was again tilled last Sunday by Rev. Dave Ramsey, of Ala. He was raised near the church, and was on a visit to his father's, and ho wished to preach at Shady Grovo. Thero was a very large congregation, and ho preached an cxcollent sermon. Wo hopo his ser? mon may do much good among his many friends and school-mates who, wc know, ho wishes well. Tho pic nie at Frwin's Mill was largely attended from this community, and all report a pleasant time. Ask Miss A. 0. what she did with that large eel sho caught, and ask Mr. Kda how ho likes cat-fish. Ono of tho Tonoy Creok boys attended tho pic nie at Wilson's Mill, and sat on a rock all thy evening with his best girl, and only spoke two words and smoked one cigarette. Try it again. While one of our young lads was tak? ing a little Saturday evening pleasure ride in a boat ho lost his balance, and oh ! over he went. Wo are real sorry he missed tho sermon next day, but wo see his clothes are all 0. K. now. Mr. I). H. Russell, of your city, visited friends in this vicinity recently.'

Alpha and Omega. Broyles' Local-. We failed to put in an appearance last week, but will givo you a few dots this time. The health of this community is not very good at present, thero being several cases of sickness in the neighborhood. We are glad to know Capt. W. S. Sliarpe is improving. Mr. A. J. Graham is very low, having suffered a relapse. Mr. M. N. Mitchell, one of our former citizens and school teachers, paid a flying visit to this community last week. All his old friends wore happy to greet him. Mrs. N. O. Fanner returned from the Baptist Convention last week, and reports a pleasant and successful meeting. We attended the pic nie at Earles' Bridge last Saturday, and tho crowd being small, we saw evidence of budding dead beat talent displayed by some of our young friends who had gone without thoir dinner. The weather is warm and so is politics. We know Governor Tillman is one eyed, but we hadn't found out that the majority of his followers were blind in both oyes until a few days ago we heard Sheppard abused for not being in sym? pathy with tho Farmers' Movement, and Tillman praised for boing in favor of the sub-treasury. This is the kind of infor? mation the people of Anderson County get by following tho advice of the Mount Tabor correspondent in the Advocate, who preaches: "Read the Advocate, and.let the Intelligencer and Journal alone," and then doesn't conform to the require? ments of his own dictum.
