These reports, which cover thoroughly the whole cotton raising sec? tion of the United States, make a very discouraging showing for this year's crop of that staple. It is already certain that the crop has been badly damaged by un? favorable weather during the past six weeks; that it has got a poor start; that ?it la being injured by insects and disease and cannot amount to an average yield. More serious still'Is the prospect that farther adverse weather, which may fairly be expected at this season, catching the belated crop in its present condition, will reduce the yield still farther. . A few sections, as in Florida and Louis? iana, aeem to b? excepted from the fate ?that has overtaken the cotton territory generally, but they are not extensive enough to make' any material difference in the crop as a whole Butchered In his Barn. I Columbia, July 17.?"Dub" Meetze a notorious white man, who has figured in I a numbec of cases in and around Colum? bia, was shot and killed by his neighbors I last night. He is charged with attempting I to burn up bis family. The Columbia I Journal, which Bent a man to the scene, I gives the following account: " 'Dub' Meetze was shot to death last I night,' was the rumor that reached this I city early this morning, seven miles west of this city, in Lexington County. { "Meetze's former horns was laid in I ashes on last Wednesday night, presuma? bly by his own hand, in aa attempt to I bam bis wife and children to death., I Last night at. 11 o'clock a crowd of I Meetze's former neighbors was gathered about hia stiffened corpse as It lay upon I some boards for the post mortem? which ( had just been performed. He lay tho I picture of a friendless tramp, with ragged garments and .shoes entirely oat at the bottom and hanging oat over the toes rand sides of the feet. There were a num I ber of wounds on his body, four of which would have proved fatal, aooording to Dr. Leapheart's testimony. The right hand had evidently been resting just I above the stomach on the right side, I where the most serious wound was. I This wound had been inflicted by a shot 1 gun. The hand, was perforated with {shot, the load passing on into the side. I Another was In the left shoulder and I another in the stomach. The left side of the face was also perforated with 'BB' shot, and a pistol ball had split the scalp from the centre of the forehead, running back. ]' : 'The coroner's lory was sitting when I the reporter left, bat the testimony was I unsatisfactory. All that could be gather? ed was that be was found in his barn, in which there were, .nombeiiess ballet hole?, together with blood stains and fin? ger marks on the inside. He had been I shot to death , by a mob, composed of whom no one could say. and the verdict I of the jury will probably be to that affect. I " 'Dob* Meetze really came to bis death I at the bauds of a number of his fellow ] citizens because they had learned to I regard him as an outlaw, and oonsidered I him a menace to their peace and safety. I He was ran oat of the State about a year I ago ibr horse stealing and warned never I to return. His neighbors thought they I Were rid of him, and were first notified of his return only a few days ago, It began I to be reported that he was back in the I neighborhood and dodging about in the woods. Further reports of threats ha had I made against the Ores and property of I hia family and neighbors also gained currencv. "On last Wednesday night his own I boose in which were his wife and two I children, was burned to the ground, they (barely escaping with their lives. This wan a threat be had made, and everyone I concluded that it was his work. This I served to stimulate their fears. Yester (day morning a colored girl reported at church that she had seen Mm in the 1 woods near Mr. Andrew Loriok's house, I which he bad also threatened to burn, and immediately after church a posse I gathered*! I "Sheriff Dralls was sent for and search I for Meetze we* began. About dark the I posse-dispersed, ander orders of the Sheriff* to meet at a half hour by sun this morning to resume the search. "Sheriff Drafts said that he was about to start home at about 9 o'clock when he j heard several shots fired in the direction I of Meetze's house, a half mile away. He j and Mr, L?rick went over' there, bat ] found no one, Jost then he heard some I cue groan in the direction of the bam, i I and they called out to know who it was. The reply came back, "Meetze." Tboy I went and found him lying about twenty. I steps from the bam in a dying condition. [ He asked for some water and talked seme, bat made no attempt to say who I shot him. "Shortly after tho Sheriff arrived he I says thit Mr, George Barhart, white, Ne I ro'Jones snd his son, colored, came op, I they having been at Mr, Loriok's house shortly before the shooting, but no one I waa about who could be so&psoted of the [killing. j "The list of those menaced by Meetze's j threats were: Nero Jones, to be killed I for informing on him in the horse steal ling ease* Edward Mathias, Andrew Lo I rick, John Sox and J.

Henry Toney and James Cox were in the yard, and got into a playful scuffle, which resulted in one or both getting mad, and a regular fight followed. John and Mrs. Cox took a hand in the fight, and the three, it is claimed, attacked young Toney with fists, a hoe and broom handle. w. T. Toney was sitting in the honse, pleasantly talking with his elderly friends, when, seeing the attaek on hia son. rushed into the yard with his open , pocket knife and drove the blade into ? the right side of James Cox's neck. Cox walked to the piazza, laid down, and in half an hour was dead, bleeding to death. The cutting took piaao about 12 o'clock.

Editor Register : A few days ago a communication was published in the several daily papers from General Far? ley, abusing me for supposed wrontrs I bad done film. I cannot engage in a personal abusive controversy with Gen? eral Farley, or anybody else. The public are not interested in such literature, and therefore do not expect me in this reply to engage in any such blackguardism. The public, however, have a right to be inform&d as to the truth or falsity of any statement of alleged fact that may be j contained in General Farley's article. Th E>re are only two statements of mo-' ment in the letter as I read it. First, That I dictated to my private secretary an article, which appeared, tbe seeoud week of March in tbe Augusta Chronicle, signed "Craddock," without the consent or knowledge of. the person who uses that nom de plume. Second, That I inspired an editorial, which was written by Mr. W. T. Crews, iu the Lauronsville Herald. The first.charge is as ridiculous as it is false. The idea of a person with a thim? ble fall of sense forging the name of a newspaper man is laughable in tbe ex? treme; but I am willing that the public ahonld know the whole truth about that "Craddock" letter: Mr. James H. Tillman, a son of Con? gressman Tillman, was, about the date of | the "Craddock" letter, tbe correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle in Washington, and "Craddock" was his nom de plume. On Saturday, just one week after the Inauguration of the President, -Major William T. Gary of Augusta and Mr. James H. Tillman came in my sitting room at tbe National Hotel. Major Gary said to Tillman that what he had told him a few mom ants before ought to be repeat? ed to Irby. I asked what it was, and Tillman told the following tale. That he had just left the Metropolitan Hotel, where he had had a long conver? sation with General H, L. Farley, who had remained In Washington since inau? guration. He said that Farley had read him along abusive communication ad? dressed to .the Reformers of South Caro? lina, showing that Tillman and Irby were unsafe, unwise, extreme, dangerous j. leaders; and that the Beform movement could not be perpetuated without throw? ing them overboard and putting more Conservative leaders in front. He asked Tillman to publish it in the Augusta Chronicle with his (Farley's) nom de plvme, saying that tbe piece would attract great attention, create a great sensation, and .that, at tbe proper time, he would come out and assume its authorship. Tillman said that he refused to publish it unless he would allow the editor of his paper to know the author. He told Till? man that was"the opening gun of the campaign next year against Tillman's and Irby's leadership of the Beform movement He further said that the fol? lowing slate had been, arranged and agreed upon: That General Butler was to ran for re-election to the Senate, Shell was to te supported by the Conserva? tives, or antis, and milder Reformers for Governor; and that he (General Farley) was to run foi Congress in Shell's dis? trict' Ho said they would like to get Talbert into the combination, but that it [ could not be arranged unless George Tillman would agree to let up on and support Talbert, and, io. that way, get the Conservatives to support Talbert for re elect ion. Farley offered Tillman a place ontheticket as Adjutant and Inspector General if he would go to his father and make the arrangements by which he would not oppose but support Talbert's re-election. (At this time every one in Washington knew that tbe Governor and Colonel Tillman were not on speaking terms.) I asked Mr. Tillman what his reply to Farley was, and he said that he told Farley that blood was thickertban water, and he would be d?d if he would go back on his uncle for Butler or any? body else. I r vked him if this was a newspaper fake or the truth and he replied*, -' To show you that I mean business, I'll publish It in fall. There and then he wrote the piece signed "Craddock." I did not have anything further to do with it; did not see it anymore until it ap? peared in the papers ; thought nothing of { it until tbe following week, when I heard him read a certificate from some one to the effect that he (Jim Tillman) had written and was the author of the "Crad? dock" letter. That night in my room between 9 and 10 o'olock, while Dr. Pope and I were talking, Jim Tillman came in, and I asked him to rehearse the whole tale to Dr. Pope, which he did, exhibiting the '-Craddock" letter, and saying that it would go off by telegraph in a few min? utes. As to the piece referred to from the Laurensville Herald I can only say that I knew nothing of it until I saw it in Srint Tbe subjoined letter from Mr. rews on that subject will explain itself. In conclusion, I will ask the public to think of one thing only: Why did not General Farley ask of me an explanation,, if he believed what he pretends to believe of the assumed wrong I did him. The evident reason to me why he sought no explanation is tust, if he had done so, he would not have had the opportunity to abuse me for political purposes, for he knew had be called on me, a satisfactory answer would have been given him, his excuse for denouncing me and his chance for ingratiating himself with tbe Conser? vative element would have been lost. ' I leave it to tbe public to say whether events subsequent to the fourth of last March have hot proved that Jim Tillman told the truth when he came to me with tbe report of the conversation between him and General Farley. I need not give tbe argument why I believe Jim Tillman told the truth, for I am satisfied that every one who reads the newspapers and who has watched the turns in politics, w jll see that there was truth and lots of it in what Tillman said. I submit herewith letters from Dr. Pope, Mr. Tighe, Mr, W.. T. Crews and Major W. T. Gary of Augusta, which will prove conclusively that the charges made by. General Farley are false. This philippic against me is but the fulfill? ment oi tbe scheme as concocted last March. The scheme, however, was amended by leaving out Governor Till? man for reasons which must be apparent to every sensible person. 'General parley reasons thus; I will abuse Irby and thereby please every Conservative in tbe State ana will threaten Tillman and sew his mouth up, and by praising Shell will get enough Tiilmanites to beat Stanyarne Wilson for Congress. With this explanation I have done I with i tfcje newspapers as a means of ad? justing differepcjaf. ' I am, very r?pectmlly, JOBN L. M. Irby. [In addition to the above, Senator Irby publishes letters from Sampson Pope, M. F. Tighe, W. T. Crews and W. T. Garry corroborating what he has written above. -Ed.] In tbe Columbia State, of tbe 16tb inst, the following interview appears: There .seems to be more fun ahead in the Ferl.ey-Irby trouble, and ode by the name of Tillman now threatens to demol? ish the junior Senator from South Caro? lina. The following interview with Capt. James H. Tillman, whom Senator Irby referred to in bis reply to Gen. Farley, has been handed tbe stale, with a request that it be published. Capt. Tillman when asked ab,out Sena? tor Irby's charges said t "I have been drawn into this affair much to my regret, but I do not propose that Senator Irby or anybody else shall use me as an Instrument to perpetrate a political assassination." ."Then yon will reply f" - "Yes." "Of what character will your answer be?" was asked. ?'Walt and see; you may ssy, however, that it viU prove Senator Irby has acted the deliberate scoundrel in mixing a cer? tain amount of truth with error in order to give hia defense an air of plausibility and throw tbe whole blame on me, It will divulge some racy and yet unwritten history that will be mighty interesting reading for devout Reformers." "When will your article appear?" "Just ss soon as possible. Please do not ask me any other questions.". im i? i**-wi_ - Struck By lightning. Raleiqh, N.

Charleston, S. 0., July 15.?The dic? tator of South Carolina, Governor Till man, Bat in tbe great State bar-room In Columbia and pressed the button which set in motion all the machinery of the Hw which is intended to crush out the liquor business in this State. He succeeded in stirring up, in Charleston, 180 miles away, a sensation that, with tbe exception of the earthquake in 1886, has had no equal since the hoisting of the secession nag in December, I860. Although the first victim selected to vindicate the majesty of the Evans Dis? pensary Law was an humble citizen, the news spread like wild fire. In a very short time the city was in an uproar. Staid business men, rich bankers, hum? ble artisans, lawyers, merchants and. mechanics all rushed to the scene of hos? tilities and joined in bitter denunciation of thn summary and tyrannical measures that were being enacted within sight of tbe place where the act of secession in 1860 was emphasized by the raising of tbe Palmetto flag amid the huzrati of 25,00) excited people. Tha first victim is a very humble Ital? ian citizen named Vincent Chicco who kept a posada in Market street which was muc l frequented by tbe hundreds of Italinn laborers who come here eveiy year to work in tbe phosphate mines. To these he furnished chiante, maccaroni, spaghletti, vermicelli, parmesan cheese and other delicatassen from his native country. It was shortly after 7 o'clock In the morning when six huge and ungainly officora of the "one gallus and wool hat" stripe which Governor Tillman affects, with huge revolvers strapped around their waists, appeared in front of Chicco's posada.. Their names, which will go down in South Carolina's history as prominent figures in this, the Btrangest war ever started in the bellicose little Palmetto 'State, are Theodore G. Gaitlard, who ia the chief of Till man's liquor constables; J. C. Elliott; William Swan; W. P. Jolly; J. M. Heap and Hayne Pepper. The last named is a city man. The others come from different parts of the Stan. They were armed with a warrant for Chicoo's arrest, issued by a trial jus? tice, and a paper called an injunction Issued by Circuit Judge Izlar, which latter gives them tbe power to seize and confiscate everything on the premises, which they proceeded to do. Wagons were brought up and loaded with Chi ceo's delicatassen. The consta? bles proceeded to search the premises and even entered the bed room of Chicoo's wife, who was sick in bed, in thei ? search for contraband goods. In reply to the remonstrance of Chicco agaiaot this proceeding they replied with oaths that they would take everything in the house except his wife and ohildren. The goods were hurried off to the sheriffs office but subsequently, under tbe advice, it is thought, of the assistant atto :ney general of the State, who is on the scene directing tbe raid, a number of boxes of 'maccaroni and spaghetti were returned to the house, of which the raid? ers f till had possession. In the meantime crowds of citizens had gathered around the scene of hostilities, when things begun to look squally for the raiders. The air was filled with denunciations and threats of lynching were heard on all sides. A lieutenant and squad of police? men soon came op. Gidllard, the chiof of tbe raiders, order? ed 'he lieutenant in a peremptory man? ner to clear the mob. The police were evidently in sympathy with the orowd and the lieutenant replied very tartly that he knew his business and would conduct it in his own way. In a few minutes several photographers arri red on the scene with their kodaks and were at once vociferously urged to Eholograph the spies. They succeeded l biking snap shots of the constabulary and these will be distributed broadcast through tbe city in a few hours. In the meantime Chicco had been taken to tae trial justice's office, where he was , followed by a dozen business men who offered bail in any amount. A prelimi? nary hearing was entered upon and Chiooo was bailed. B is goods are still in possession of the Sheriff and his premises in the custody of the constabulary. This is only the firs', of some forty or fifty cases which have been prepared to be executed in Cbxxleston. The constabul ary claim that under the law they can upon information anc belief enter any premises, and upon finding a bottle of whiskey can confiscate the contents of the entire establishment without any further process of law. Free Coinage and Foil Value, The News and Courier is in favor of the frei? and fair coinage of silver. Silver is a vary convenient commodity, or metal, or nubstance, for employment as a medi? um, of exchange in trade, and has long bet n so employed in all parts of the world. It ranks next to gold in respect to its ger eral advantages as a coin metal. It Is scarce enough and useful enough to be valuable on; of all proportion to its bulk, and the man who exchanges the products of; jis labor for it can exchange it nearly always and anywhere for what he wants of i he products of other people's labor. It Is one of tbe best kinds of "money," It passes rapidly as money, and when the money stamp is effaced it still "pass? es'7 just as readily at its market value as a a mple metal. The money stamp sim? ply states?or ought to simply state?its ma rket value, for tbe convenience of the exchangers. The farmer who exchanges his wheat or cot ton or eggs for a lump of it does not wa at to have to go the nearest drug store or jewelry store and have the lnmp weighed to ascertain exactly how much th( re is of it. He prefers tojdeal for lumps or pieces of established size and quality; whose weight and fineness is certified by some impartial authority- Thsre la plen? ty of this kind of pieces about. The Gov? ernment has certified their weight and fineness, and they are called dollars or fractions of dollars. ; t is a simple and convenient arrange? ment which' provides such pieces for the public use, and it has proved bo accep? table after many centuries of trial that it ties become established, We cannot do without it, The New'a and Co\irier believes in maintaining it, It believes, that is to say, in having tbe Government under which we live In this country con tk ue tbe practice of measuring the metal into regular pieces, determining its puri? ty and stamping its character on the face of the pieces themselves for the informa? tion, convenience and protection of all exchangers. It beljeyes that there can? not well be too much of auch convenient arides as a means of trade exchange. It believes that the man who receives and supplies the metal for money purposes should be allowed to take it to a Govern? ment mill and office, and have it shaped aDd stamped as money for the public use without post to himself. |t ?elleyes in the free and fair coinage of silver.' But it believes also that the Govern? ment stamp wbiob declares the relative vt,1 ue of the metal which it oovers shall b< a true stamp, shall tell a true story. It believes that when tbe stamp says there is a dollar's worth?a hundred cents worth of silver in th,e "dollar"?there st all be that much silver in it, not three fourths as much or two-thirds as muoh. It believes that when the farmer exchan? ges a .hundred cents worth of wheat or cotton for a bit of metal he should receive a lundrod cents worth of the metal, no more, no less. So that when he goes to erohange the piece of metal for goods that he wants be shall bo able to get for it the equivalent of tbe goods he parted withlo obtain the metal. The dollar is bis "receipt" for so much labor expended by bim for the benefit of the public. He should have a receipt in full; not a re? ceipt tbat is "in full" op its face, and is only In part In fact. This, it appears to us, is a perfectly fair demand on behalf of the farmer, and we insist that It should be complied with accordingly by tbe silver miners and the Government, It would be to tbe interest ol'tbe miner, of course, to evade the de rr and and furnish only cents worth of tbe product and representative of his labor in exohange for tbe product of tbe farmer's labor. He would make 35 cents o: l every exohange to the value of a dollar by his evasion. But the farmer would lese in the same proportion, of course, and - wouhd be swindled in effect to that ex? tent, Is not this a plain case? We sub ait the question to any and every intel? ligent farmer in South Carolina, It is a plain case, however, it covers the whole p resent question as to tbe free coinage of silver, and the' farmer who demands tbe free coinage of ??-eents dollars is demand it g that ho shall rocoivo for his labor and products one-third I?se than they are worth. What has any farmer to gain by this p rocess ? It is a fair question and a per? tinent question, of present apd passing k terest. Will any one of our farmer friends answer it7?News and Courier, j ?

FollT Hill, S. C, July 15.?No one would suppose to see the smoothness with which all exercises are conducted that Clemson College had been open only a week. On Thursday, Jnly 6, three hundred undisciplined boys reported at Fort Hill to become cadets of Clemson College. Only those who have bad simi? lar experience know the full significance of this fact. There was the disadvantage of having no older students who knew the routine of duties to assist in organ? izing the new men. All the three hundred were new, and even the routine of duties were to be established. The new students were met at Cherry's Crossing, on the Blue Ridge Road, and at Calhoun, on the Air Line, by professors of the College, and were marched to Fort Hill. Wagons were in waiting to trans? fer trunks by the hundred. On arrival at Fort Hill the boys were promptly as? signed to rooms.. Thursday, Friday and Saturday were consumed In registrations and in examinations preliminary to as? signing the cadets to classes. Sunday was a glad day of rest for all, and the corps of cadets, the families of the pro? fessors, and some visitors beard two ser? mons in the beautiful chapel by Rev. Mr. Martin, of Anderson. Prof. Stewart had chosen a choir of cadets and some of the young ladies of Fort Hill, which rendered some very fine music. Monday morning class exercises be gao. A schedule of recitations bad been arranged, and the sections were marched by the cadets whose names stood highest upon the roll of each section to the sev? eral class rooms. The professors have expressed themselves as highly pleas? ed with the earnestness and the de? sire to learn exhibited by the cadets. As expected, more than half of the new men are in the preparatory class. Many of these, the professors say. are men who have been out of school for,a num? ber of years, and after a few weeks're? view will be able to advance rapidly. Quite a number will be promoted short? ly to the freshman class. The freshman olass consists of about a hundred and twenty-five men, the sophomore class contains about twelve. While going on with their classes the cadets are not neglecting the manual work. President Craighead was greatly pleased a few mornings ago, on calling for men who were willing to do any kind of work to assist in paying their expen? ses here, by a ready response from a hun? dred and fifty. The other men will be given the two hours' work required by the rules of the College. The boys are employed at present in clearing up around the main building, moving lumber, car? pentering and working in the mechani? cal department, and a few in work with the stock. The work on the farm is stop? ped now for the want of rain. Col. New? man is lecturing on agriculture, howev? er. The military department is keeping pace with the other departments. Under the efficient direction of Lieut T. Q. Don? aldson four companies have been organ* ized, and they drill for three-quarters of an hour every afternoon. Additional military exercise is given by marching to the class rooms, to the chapel services and to meals. The transformation at Fort Hill during one week has been little short of miracu? lous. It is a triumph of organization. The attendance shows that the people of South Carolina demanded Clemson Col? lege. The success already assured shows that they were right in demanding it?Newa and Courier. Holds on to his Land. Ralbiqh, N. C, July 14.?It Will be remembered that Vanderbllt recently purchased 9,000 acres of land in the west? ern portion of this State, adjoining the tract on which he is erecting the magnifi? cent million-dollar palace, where he pro? poses to spend his summers and enter? tain his friends. This latter tract he will convert into a game preserve. Alter the New York millionaire had Eurobased all the surrounding property e struck an old negro named "Undo Jerry" Collins, who drives a dray in Asheville, and who also owns four? teen acres of land right in the midst of what is now the Vandsrbilt tract. Vanderbilt offered the old darkey a big price for his land, but he declined to Bell nnless the marf of money would pay him $600 more than he had offered. This was 600 times more than the land was worth to any one else, and so Vanderbilt refused to pay the price. Soon after, however, he concluded he would rather submit to the extortion than to have the negro living right in the heart of his property, and so he sent an agent to pay the sum demanded. TJnole Jerry bad in tbemeantlme "studied over the matter" and refused the money?de? clined to sell at all. Vanderbllt's agent pleaded and threat? ened in vain. Then they had the old man's lot fenced in, but of course are compelled to give him an outlet And so the matter stands. Uncle Jerry jocularly remarks that it has been the one great desire of his life to live in an aristocratio neighborhood, and now that he is the nearest neighbor to one of the richest men in the world, be doesn't propose to to sell out and move into a less preten? tious locality. Some day Vanderbilt will offer that old man enough money for those measly fourteen acres of mountain land to "set him up" for life. And what aggravates the case is the fact that "Uncle Jerry" seems to know it? Washington Pont. He Was a Nice lonng Man. New York, July 12.?Colonel W. L. Washington, of Nashville, Tenn., called at police headquarters yesterday and re Sorted to Inspector McLaughlin, of the elective bureau, that he had been robbed of a valuable watch and chain by e plaus? ible, smooth-faced young man, to whom he had taken a liking tho preceding night. Colonel Washington is a brother of Con? gressman Washington, of Cedar Hill, and a cousin of Major General Cheatham. under Whom he fought during the civil war. The Colonel's wrath was wrought up to a high pitch. "He was such a nice young man?' Bmootb-faced and smooth-tongued," he exclaimed, ''that after we had been to ah entertainment together I accepted his in? vitation to stop'with him all night This morning when I awoke the fellow was gone, as were also my watch and chain. I would not have taken 91,000 for them." Gored to Death by a Ball. Montezuma, Ga., July 11.?Mr. J. B. Hooks, a prosperous farmer. living about eight mires from Montezuma, Is the owner of the finest Jersey bull in the county. Monday afternoon, Mr. Hooka's son, Eugene, about eighteen years old, went into the lot to feed the animal, as he had often done before, Im mediately after the young man got into the lot ho saw' the animal was mad and meant mischief. The young man made an effort to escape, but the infuriated animal caught him before he could get out and gored him to death before assistance could reach him. The young man's body was terri? bly torn. He lived long enough to tell the story of hia death, ' ? j ?ws 1 Dnel to the Death. Augusta, Ga.*, July 15.?A special to the Chronicle from Andersville says that Richard P, Roughton and Fred T. Rawlr ings killed each other in a street duel yesterday afternoon. The affair was the culmination of a family feud. Raw lings was shot immediately below the heart and above the naval, and fell upon the prostrate body of" Roughton, who was shot three times through the head. Roughton was a brother of the mayor of the town and Raw lings was the may? or's brother-in-law, - 9 ?*?? ? A Tennessee negro who bad been shot in a row some time ago, was discov? ered at work in a field with three bullets in bis body. He observed that they "didn't bother him at all." ? It takes something more than a lightning flash to kill the average Geor ia negro. An instance of this is recalled y the story of the negro who was plow? ing in a field last week, where he was overtaken by a thunderstorm. At the end of a row he stopped his mule in the ience corner and took a seat on the plow stock to wait until the elements ceased their war before continuing his work. While calmly awaiting the passing of the storm, without the least fear of dan? ger, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck the mule dead, knocked the plowstook into smithereens and tumbled the negro several feet off in an insensible condi? tion, The negro was found a short while afterwards and was thought to be dead, but in about ap hour's time be showed signs of regaining consciousness and is now getting well . after knocking at death's door. No signs of injury from the lightning was found on his person, and the only injury done to his clothing was the complete destruction of that por? tion of bis pants which was in immediate contact with the plowstock that the dar? key was sitting on. The negro's escape from death was a remarkable one, and it Is not easily understood why he was not killed when the mule, the plowstook and the rear of his pantaloons all suffered ex? termination, COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE. On the Hurricane Creek. "Gen. Wheeler, of Alabama, comes for ward with a proposition that Congress do nothing else tban frame such legislation as to turn tbe whole matter of tbe cur? rency over to Cleveland to take steps as he thinks best. That is tomfoolery of tbe boldest kind. If this is to be done tbere is no use in having a Congress. If tbere are many members of Congress like Gen. Wheeler, who have no opinion of their own end are bowing down as idolators at tbe shrine of Cleveland, tbe best thine their constituents could do would be to keep them at home."?The reoplc's Ad? vocate. I only copy the above from the Advo catc so as to make comparison with what Ac says and what Governor Tillman, tbe "reformer," said two years ago, which was "that if tbe reformers would give blm a Legislature tbat wonld do what he told them to do, why he could do some thing, but that his flrst Legislature were nothing but driftwood." Now, if our State is to be controlled by one man, I had just as soon risk tbe United States in one man's hands, especially when we take into consideration the men who are at the head of our State and of the United States, but it makes a great deal of difference with some people whose cow was gored. I think we might, with as much or more reason, abolish our Legislature and give up our State affairs to our supreme dicta? tor as for the Advocate to give our Na? tional affairs to Mr. Cleveland. On reading what tbe Alexandria, Va., man said about our disparity of numbers during the war in the several engage? ments, in the Intelligence!! two weeks ago, reminds me of a fight our Regiment bad on 28th of July, 1804. On tbe even? ing before we (the Hampton Legion Mounted Infantry) went down below Malvern Bill and loitered around in the woods all the evening and camped there until a while before day next morning (28th July), when we were ordered to sad? dle up and get ready to move at once. I didn't think muoh about it only tbat we would go back to our camp. So we moved off up the river. At about sun up we halted after passing a good spring some two hundred yards. I got permis? sion from Lieut. J. T. Donaldson to go back to tbe spring for water. I took some half a dozen canteens and filled them and just as I got back to tbe Regiment we were ordered to mount and count off? every fourth man to hold horses. We then dismounted and started up tbe road towards what was known as Double Gates and Tillman Gate, our horses being ordered back to Malvern Hill, or near tbere. When we got up to Tlllman's Gate we were baited and lay down by tbe side of the road, but in a few minutes Gen. Gary ordered us up and by the right flank for? ward-double-quick march, and up the road towards the Double Gates we went. We could hear skirmishers firing pretty rapidly up that way, but I didn't think it was anything but a pioket fight, but we bad not gone more tban two or three hun? dred yards until we were fired into on our left by a full line of Yankees, who were in a corn field behind a plank fence, not more tban twenty-five yards from us. I remember very well just how we ware arranged in front of our Company (Co. D.) The first Sergeant, John Bruce, was in front, Sam Davenport was next to him, then Jimmie Neighbors and then myself, (we were|marchlng in single file). The first volley they fired into us Jimmie Neigh? bors tumbled over on bis face, moaning considerably with pain. He was shot through the bowels and died in about three hours with intense suffering. As I walked around him as be fell rigbt at my feet, Sam Davenport hollers out, "here they are, Bill, shoot 'em, d-n 'em, shoot 'em." So we fired into them through the fence and were ordered to move on to the right and form a junction with tbe Seventh Virginia Cavalry, whioh was a part of our (Gary's) Brigade, but we never were able to connect with the Sev? enth at all. Well, sir, we stayed there in that road and whipped them Yankees 'til about 12 o'clock, beginning a little after sun up, and tbey wouldn't run, so we could take alter them. So we got tired, and, thinking it almost dinner time, Gen. Gary came in and took us back to our horses so we could attend to them. Now, about the disparity of numbers. Our Regiment had, I don't think, over 400 men. officers and all, for duty (Lieut. S. ?. Welch, of Charleston, could tell I expect), and it took a fourth of them to hold horses. So you see we only bad 300 left, but tbat don't give the disparity of numbers yet, but when I was captured at Farmville, Va., a day or two before the surrender at Appomattox, I was having a good time with the Yankees talking over the war and the different engagements we had been in, etc., and I mentioned this little fight we had, and one of them said he remembered it very well, and said we had killed a good many of tuelr meu, and said, "by the way, Johnnie, how many of Lee's Army were there that morning?" Said I, "two Regiments of our Brigade were there, but there was none but our Regiment,- tbe Hampton Legion, engag- j ed/' "Well," says he, "you must have had a thundering big Regiment then." "Yes," Bays I, "we had, I reckon, 950 or 300 men." Well, sir, he didn't hardly be? lieve it. I asked bim how many they had apd he said they bad actually engag? ed the Eighth Army Corps and another one in reserve, besides the gunboats on the James. Well, says I, how many men do you have in an Army Corps? He said eight thousadd. Now, what do you think abjut tbat for disparity in numbers? Over twenty-five to one and we whipped them 'till we got tired and hungry and drank up all of our supply of water and I just walked off and left them, and tbey were afraid to take after us until we got out of reach of them. ?We have seen some nice rains in sight but havn't had any since the 1st inst. Crops are doing very well, however, as dry as it is, and I think if we can get rain, in a few days we will not be hurt. Mr. Paris is doing very well, the Doctor says, and we hope to see him out soon. We bad our working in the graveyard at Sbiloh on Saturday, 8th inst., but did not get tbrongh. Our thermometer still ranges up iq thp nineties, though the mornings are pleas? ant. ' 8<iUIRE Fewsjl.
