Tho Columbia Remitter, in *p??kinfr <^f Representative Ashley, aaya: "Josh is a plain, unsophisticated, red hwaditorv, clever couutrvenan, and of course la tius j v*rs*d In tho wil?a of our city ways, although he has a head full of sound horse sense. It is told on tbe gantteman from Anderson that the other day, when onr niokle-plated steam engine was passing up the street, that Joth looked npon it wito open-month arua/.etnent, and an it turned around the corner he exclaimed: 'Boys, that's the dad-blastingist bis.ire?t coffee? pot I ever *aw, and they'ra ?rot it on vbeels, too!' On another occasion Jr?h waa showing a conntry friend through too Capitol, when be was a*ked about tha mace. 'That ar' thing,' explained the Colonel, *ia for Governor Tillman to ktep his mace and spies and other s?^*onin^s in." The Columbia correspondent of the Neva and Omrier apnaka aa followa of one cf Andaraon County's Representatives: "There baa not hi ytiars u*?u a more strik? ing charuc-'jr in tu? bouse titan Joshua W. Asditey, of Aii-l*raon County. Everybody io fauiiliar with his political successes. \ow, 'CifizHti Joeb' is not what might be called an English dude, in any respect.

Ua deserves areat credit for hie boldness and individuality of thought, lie seem* to be built something like Van derbilt, and does juat exactly aa be thinks be ought to without any special regard for tae after coneeqneiioea. When the ruddy faced legislator geta up to speak it is not exactly safe to bet how be stands. He yever talks unless he opens up his entire Vf?<t front, and ahowa hia 'biled' shirt. He Ullta plain Kreist, but without special regard to his orthoepy, and is iacline-d to the gunersl opinion that it helps a speech materially to say 'Mr. Speaker' after every seventeen words.

Altogether the 'Citizen' is above tbe average legislator this year, at be baa up to thin time doue his owu think? ing aud voting." How f?w of us who rapest the Lord's Prayer, either occasions'!Iy or habitually, appreciate tbe full force of that petition, "And forgive us our Irespasnes as ws for? give those who trespass against us." In [ this prayer the forgiveness of oar tres pssses by the Divine Father is condi i tion*d upon the spirit of for^ivaiess that we manifest towards those who bave tre* pwed against us. And yet not Infre? quently we come into His presence con? scious of the unforgiving spirit in onr own hearts and pray, "As we forgive others, so may ws be forgiven." Ia there not solemn mockery here, or worse? Homn times we bave known two Christians, In whose hearts there was resentment the one toward tbe other, to kneel around (lie same sacramental board. We bave seon them thus commeuiorato the loving Baeri floe of the Son of God at the same table and from the same cop, and then mingle their voices In repeating the Inspired pe? tition : "As we forgive others, so may the Lord forgive us. Do they realise the significance of these words? If so, how dare tbey utter tbem without first show? ing to the wrld and each other that they have exercised the spirit of forgiveness. ?'As we forgive others." This is the Di? vine order, and according to this principle will tbe mercy of God be exercised. We cannot evade Ite requirements by refusing to repeat that petition in wordB or in our hearts. If we desire forgiveness we must first be forgiving. If we would obtain mercy, we must exercise mercy. This Is tbe only basis upon which the Scriptures authorise rs to e?e for and expect the Di? vine forgiveness.?Southern Christian Ad? vocate. Honea Path News. Miss Lou McGee is making a visit of several weeks to relatives in Fairfleld County. Miss Kittle Thomas is visiting friends in Honea Patb. The Willing Workers will glvo an en? tertainment, "The Cantata of Flowers,'' at the school building on Friday night, 23rd iust.

On Wednesday night of Christmas week there will be a Hot Supper served at the echool building. Proceeds to be applied in payment for debt contracted in plaoing upper" story on school building. As all our people are interested in this property it is hoped that all will contribute some? thing to the snpper and to making it a success Miss Liezie Brock says tbe patrons of her echool are going to put in new desks instead of the old-fashioned benches. Wherever Miss Lizzie teaches the patrons are awakened to the interest of the school. Tbe Honea Path High Sohool will have one week's vacation for Christmas, re? opening on tbe 2nd day of January, 1893. This is one of tbe most important scheols in this part of the State. It always has a number of boarders besides the united support of this community. Those who have gone out from this school are among our most successful teachers. Others take tbe highest stand in the colleges which they attend. We hope to bear of this school having a fine opening after Christ? mas. It baa had a lurge attendance this fall. Trade has been brisk for the last few weeks and our merchant* are feeling good. The farmers r.re entirely ap with their work now, and though they have sold most of their cotton before the rise tbey don't feel gloomy, for they have generally raised more supplies than usual and feel pretty well prepared for the next year. Mr. J. K. Donnald has sold out a nice lot of drove hogs at seven cents gross. Miss Attie Major is teaching school in Greenville County, Miss Elia Kay has obarge of the Euoree school in th is Coun? ty and Miss Lulu Gassaway is teaching near her home; Prof James H. Ray hill gave a reading here last Saturday night. His audience was rather small. Mr. W. A. Kay lost a fine cow last Sat urdny night. Mr. G. L Burta is preparing for house? keeping.

Milford and has bought a place below Due West. He moved lust week. Mr. J. Bagwell has moved back to his plantation in Greenville County. Mr. W. C. Branyon has fixed his house up in the finest style. As he does not rent it gome think that he expects to oo cupy it himself. If he does wo advise him to get some good partner. It is too nice lor a bachelor to occupy by himself. The wedding bells are ringing ; perhaps more than one of Honea Path's fair daugh? ters or gallant sons are under tbe influ? ence of their chimes.

At a regular communication of Grove Station Lodge, No. 166, A. F.

John Leo killed a ll-months pig weigh? ing 200, and a 7-mouths pig woigbing 175. D. Edward King killed two weighing 220 and 230 respectively. So if your "devil" will come over I think we can let him have some pork to season bis tur? nips. I tbink we can raise our own meat cheaper than wo can buy it?at least that is my experience iu tbe business. Bacon is high this fall, and so are the drove hogs that have come through here, and I hope everybody will procure a pig, if no more, and try to make some, if not all, the meat they use. I think the amount of wheat that was made iu our country bas something to do in making flour cheap. Some say our little "dab" of wheat don't have any in? fluence on the wheat market, but I think where so many people have been buying all of their flour and stop buying sud? denly, it will have its bearing; and that bas been the case throughout this coun? try this year. I hope we will do the same thing over another year, and make an? other such a cotton crop?then we will get ten cents for it. And i t's tbe Bame way with meat, if we raiso plenty of it? that is, we farmers?it will he better for us and for those who do have to buy. If It Is high it will not hurt thoBe of ub who have raised plenty to do us. Let the good work go on. I hono the Legislature will do what they aid before?nothing?and come home.

AlKEtf, S. C. December 12.-A torriblo tragedy was enacted in Aiken this even? ing just at dusk, and the result is one man lios in the cold embrace of doath with ft bullet wound through his heart and two othors nre lying in a precarious condition, One shot in tho umbilicus and tho other in tbe loft brenBt. About 6 o'clock this afternoon Mayor Robert A. Chafeo received the following telegram: "Lanolet, S. C, December 12.?6.84 P. M.?Mr. Robert A. Cbafee, Aiken : Tom Lamar has a pistol. He ia vory mad with yott. He has gona to Aiken. 0. B. Lamar." To-day Mr. Tom Lnmar took the train at Hamburg and got off at Langley, where he got in a buggy and drove to Ad ken. His threats at Langley made his brother send tho above message to Mayor Chafee to Warn him. When he arrived Mr. Chafeo wai on the lookout for him to arrest him and put him in tho lockup. Accompanied by Chief Marshal Robert , Gasten they found him in Blayloek's bar taking a drink. The mayor walked up to him and told him that he had to arrest him, and catching him by the left arm aad the marshal by the right they started out the door with him, and as soon as they reached the sidewalk Lamar, who had his pistol in his overcoat pocket, quiokly drew it and shot Mr. Chafee in the stomach; Ho wheeled and fired at Gaston, missed tho first shot, fired again? tho ball entering his left breast about the nipple. While ho was shooting tho mar? shal used bis club over his head and knocked him to his knees and then Mr. Chafee fired one shot at Lamar, the ball passing through his heart, producing instant death. It was all done so quickly that every? body was taken by surprise. Mr. Chafee was taken to Hairs drug store and thence homo, where bis wound" was examined. The ball entered about the navel, and it ia feared that his wound will provo fatal. Mr. Gaston is shot through the left lung, sear the heart. He, too, is danger c-isly wounded. Dr. Wymann attended to him and Drs. Croft and McGahn are attending Mr. Chafee. Mr. Lamar's body was taken in charge by the Knights of "Pythias and carried over across the street to their hall. He bad been on an extended drunk, and when under the influence of whiskey was dangerous. Mr. Lamar was about 45 years of age, and well known and well connected in this coun? ty. He was born and reared in Beech Island, and for several years past has been living in Aiken. Five or six years ago he engagod in mining kaolin clay, and has done as much as any other man to develop this industry. He was a fine business man and was full of energy, but unfortunately was a slave to tbe drink habit. About two months ago he had a shooting scrape with Mr. H. H. Jordan, since dead, in which ho fired four shots and was knocked down. He has slnco been drinking heavily, and only last wcok had to bo placed In the guard house nt Aiken for safo-keoping. Since then he wont to Columbia and entered tbe Keeley Institute for treatment. After remaining there a day or so he got on another sproo and left, returning to Beech Island. Mayor Chafeo is a leading spirit in our town, and no man has done more to for? ward Its interests than he. A little over two years ago be was elected mayor, and in September last was re-elected by a very flattering vote. He is about 85 years of age, has a wife and two children, and Is a very popular man. At this writing (12 M.) be is sleeping under opiates. Tbe affair has cast a deop gloom ovor our city.?Dispatch to News and Courier. An Unusual Circumstance. Washin-gtok, D.
