Besides the sotfcon, the tenant made sixty-five {bushels of oats. "Please ask," requests -Mr.. Friedham, ''if anybody in Texas can ?beat this?" President Cleveland has appointed ex Mayor Samuel A. Townes, of Greenville, Collector of Internal Revenue for South' Carolina. Mr. Townes is a conservative Democrat, but has taken no active part in politics. He is well qualified for the posttion, and his appointment will give attifaction. Senator Butler, who was king Ben. Perry for the position, saw !5rs5?8g nj> chance for him, and en? dorsed Mr. Townes for the position. ;i-? mm ? 'mm Tit? Newberry Observer says : "The chasm between seven cents cotton and eight qents,to raise it will have to be bridged over some way. It is not at all prol >able that cotton will ever agtin com? ma* d more tuan seven or eight cents? the chances are in favor of its going dovm to five. The great cotton States I can. raise it profitabij at five, and the .'iereage and yield are increasing largely every year. If South Carolina farmers cannot compete with Texas and Missis? sippi planters in cotton-raising, they will hay 3 to turn their industries into another channel." _ Greenville New3 calls attention to one feature of the dispensary profits busi? ness that has escaped notice heretofore. That paper says that many of the dispen 88x1*3 . owed, their establishment to the fact that the petitioners placed their sig? natures "on the theory that the cities yon Id receive part of the profits," and that the Jew law now puts those profits at the disp osal of Governor Tillman's whims and humors?that is, he can divert these pro!its to the pay of the constables if he is not satisfied that the cities are ''enforc? ing the law." The News adds: "We hopo that the Greenville police will suc? ceed In displeasing the boss so effectually that he will confiscate our share of his whiskey money." Soiator Voorheea, the Chairman of the .Senate Finance Committee, looks for a ?long session of Congress. Ho says that -the last Congress did not adjourn Its first Mission until August 5, and that, too, at a time when a general revision of the tari? was not an issue. While he is of e opinion that the House tariff bill pass the Senate within a month, or x. v* eeks at the outside, after it gets intc the Senate, he believes that a date y as late, if not later than August 5, iae reached before Congress adjourne. her) are other Senators, members cf e Ii nance Committee, who think this Jress will be in session until late in Sept?mb6r, if, indeed, it does not run *Into October, as did the Fifty-first Con In all the labor and provision for re- j lieving tbe needy there should be a pret-1 ty close adherence to the principle : "If! a man will not labor neither shall he eat." There is no hardship in that rule ' for all the able-bodied. It is said that notwithstanding all the alleged want in Chicago men cannot be bad to \i ork on the drainage canal at 15 cents and hour. It is said, too, that there is plenty of work in other great cities, and the coun? try about for men who will work, but that Bince free lodging and free soup es? tablishments have been started men can? not be hired. There ought to be some way of testing the disposition of every applicant for charitable aid. It is not right tbat the willingly industrious should be taxed to support the incorrig? ibly lazy. _ _ It is the belief of the governments of England, France and Germany, to say nothing of others, that the people of wealth?that is, those having large in? comes?should contribute more to the support of tbe government than those possessed of small incomes, and on this account an income tax has been imposed and collected. There is no good reason why greater consideration should be given to wealthy citizens in a republic, such as that of the United States of America, than is accorded to them under such an autocratic form of government as that of Germany, or such an aristocratic form of government as that of Great Britain. This much can be said in de? fense of the action of those of the ways and means committee who have voted in favor of this tax, and in addition it can be said tbat the government stands great? ly in need of the money. IT IS TIME TO CALL A HALT. Booth Carolina - Politics Tend to Anarchy and Bloodshed. Columbia, S. C, January 7.?Nothing couid be more interesting tbau to note the fluctuations of the poliiical pulse in South Carolina. The patient, the Demo? cratic party, is beginmng-to get nervous and. fidgety. She does not know how serious her ailment is going to be, and what is more, what a combination of troubles are liable to show themselves. In the meanwhile she and her friends, realize tbat along wiege is ahead, and very naturally are worried, not as to the ulti? mate result, but the condition of the patient during the summer season. Leaving all medical jurisprudence to one side, and looking at theaituation in a plain every-day way, one cannot but realize that the political prospects in this State are anything but pleasant. They may be encouraging for individual ambi? tions or factional victories, but to the un? interested Democrat there are troublous and stormy times ahead. There is no use to say, "Ob, that is only newspaper talk," or "Those are the views of an alarmist." It ia not so. \ Anyone wjbo has gone from county to county, through two campaigns, and who keeps his ears open and reads aright the political move? ments of the day, must necessarily con? clude that unless somebody calls a halt, unless liberality is shown, there is a political tempest ahead. Men are going Into the campaign this year with the. expressed intention of allowing no abusive or insulting language towards themselves. The political actions of the majority for the past two years have not been directed towards healing the breach. Tbat would be poor politics in the eyes of tbe ortho? dox Reformer. The lines must, they think, be"suarply drawn; their .political success depends upon the life oi the prejudice now existing. The "country sentitnem" must be rekindled. Call It Alliance sentiment if you please; any name will suit; but certain leader* and I their men realize that the moment the political passions sireallowed to smoulder they are without hope. More liberal minded and conservative men, no matter of what faction, will be given tbe reins. There is a general belief that the resolu? tions adopted at.Laurens outline the present policy of the Irby wing ef the Re? form Movement. That sufficient press? ure will be brought to force a change in the programme is possible. The clause thai "none but Reformers will participate in the election of delegates to the July State Convention" has already provoked o msiderable comment and dissatisfaction.' Said a State officer to me last night: "We have nothing but Democratic clubs in this State. The minority has come in with us, joined our ranks as members of our clubs and submitted to defeat. We j cannot now throw them overboard. I 1 am opposed to a July Convention, such as is proposed, and will use every influ? ence I have to defeat its purposes. There is now no need for such a Convention. There was, I. believe, a necessity for a March Convention, We then had a plat-, j form to adopt and principles to announce; we cannot consistently hold a factional Convention to nominate or suggest any candidate. The whole thing is wrong." If the author of this sentiment were known it would occasion no little sur? prise, especially as he is totally disinter? ested. Senator Irby and others not long ago were enthusiastically in la vor of a March convention at which to settle tbe whole trouble and effectually crush the Guber? natorial ambitions of certain of tbecandl . dates. For some reason the leaders were afraid of this. It may have been that a combination of Anti-John Gary Evans influence brought this about. In a word, If a convention were held within the next few weeks it wonld.be John Gary Evans against the field. How things may change within a few months no one can tell. Wbilfc on tbe topic of Senator Irby's July convention scheme it might be interesting to say that there is a strong and growing sentiment against the junior Senator retaining the leadership of tbe Democratic Executive Committee. There is talk of putting a yourif and indepen? dent man at the head of the committee. The county press is not demonstratively in favor of the retention of Senator Irby, and It is even suggested that the local.| organs-would not be 'head-over-heels in sorrow If- some' one else were elected. What has it to say ? It iseyeo hinted that one of the questions to be asked Governor Till man in bis candidacy for Senator is whether he expects to have Mr. Icby conduct and be responsible for his cam? paign. Just now the all-absorbing topic is who is to receive the Reformers" nomination for Governor? Will it be John Gary Evans or Comptroller General Ellerbe, who are in at now in the lead ? Will W. De Witt Evans, of Marlboro, or Secretary of State Tindal, or Dr. Sampson Pope forge ahead? Up to this time there are fivo entries. Whether they will all be at tbe finish is not known, with or with? out reason, Governor Tillman is supposed to favor the selection of John Gary Evans as his successor. Whether this alleged preference is purely personal, it tbat, or whether it will extend to political sup? port, has not been developed, the occasion has no: arisen. The Governor's prefer? ence, it is argued, is on account of the aggressive, daring tactics of the Senator from. Aiken. Mr. Ellerbe is also said to be a favorite. Both are young and ag? gressive. For a day or two there have been mut? ter lugs of a kind of conferenco or confab at Wright's Hotel on Friday night. The information goes tbat there were about ten good "Reformers" there and that in a general way they talked over tbe situa? tion and came to some conclusions. One of the topics, so it is said, was this: Gov? ernor Tillman, if he is to bo a candidate for the United States Senate, ought to be made to understand tbat he has no right to interfere with or influence State affairs oi* nominations. He ought to restrict himself to a discussion of National affairs ; and be "bands off" on State politics. He can stand by and look on, but his sug? gestions-tiro not wanted by the good peo? ple or liberal Reformers of the State. The same is applicable to Senator Irby. and especially as he is already in National politics, or supposed to be there. It Is further stated that another impor? tant question that came up at the confer? ence was: "Should we, as Reformers, assume the responsibility of fathering tho dispensary law ?" Some of those present, and they were all invited on account of j being thought to be leaders, were afraid of the dispensary law, and especially tbe new one. It is not a popular ?eherne and may lose many more votes than it will gain. The fruits of this conference may soon be shown, Tbe cardinal feature was, fo it is said, that Tillman and Irby were not expected to dabble in State politics?if they had tbe dictation of the slate it would defeat a number of other wonld-be Governors. There used to be a good deal said about slates. Note, the views now, and those who think they may be chosen in that way do not seriously object, but the ma? jority of the candidates and tbo rank and hie do not want any slates made, and they have duly announced their intention of breaking any slate made by or with the consent of anybody. The politician who favors slate making, from what can be heard, will not improve his chances for preferment. But what about the Senatorial race? Oh, that is to be lively pnoujh. E?.;.. - body understands tlix' ih"contest wMI i?< between Senator Butler and Governor Tillman. There may "e suggestions or other candidates anil ex press ions as to the availability of this or that man, but when the fight is really made it will be between those two men. Here and there suggestions have been made of men to make the race instead of Senator Butler, yet when it comes to the pinch the general opinion is that if Senator Butler cannot defeat Governor Tillman no one can do so. The friends ol Senator Butler say that he has developed groat strength and that he is going to win the race. His friends aay that tbey are willing to la\ the bridle on his neck and tell him to run. Of course Senator Butler will make his campaign on purely national issues, if be is allowed to do so, and thinks that he has a record on which he can staud and win before the people of his State. Asa matter of fact when the campaign really on?ns this will be the all-impor tant and interesting race and there will be some highly lively developments. While the Reformers are holding their conferences and making and breaking slates, what are the Conservatives doing ? j They are keeping rather quiet. Holding ! no caucuses, making no slates, but simply waiting. Such they think the best policy. After awhile a consultation may bo had as bow to act, but for the present the policy seems to be to do nothing radical. There is plenty of tinae to decide whether a State ticket ought to be run or what plan should be pursued. The Conserva? tives may have a great deal more to say than is expected, although they are to be ostracised in the Irby July Convention. There may be more sulking and leas sub? mission than anticipated. Altogether there is a very merry and go-as-you ?lease song and dance time ahead of us in outh Carolina,?Correapandence Newa and Courier. Illegal Juries, Columbia Slate, January 7. There was quite a rattling of the dry bones about the State Capitol yesterday, occasioned by the discovery of the fact that all juries drawn in the State since December 18 by a jury commissioner, ac? cording tc the custom of several years, were illegally drawn, and their verdicts consequently are void in law. Auy that may be drawn hereafter in accordance with the law in force for several years will be equally as illegal and their verdicts worthless. Tho matter was brought to light yester? day by Sheriff Daniel J. Bnrabam, of Clarendon. He bad heard that the Leg? islature had recently passed a new law governing the drawing of juries, and knowing something of its nature, he came here to see the governor about it, and the new law was looked up. It was found that the act was approved on De? cember 18, and it was one of those acts iroviding that its provisione became law The law is entitled, "An act to amend Chapter LXXXVII of the General Stat? utes relating to juries and entitled 'Of ; Jurias.'" It reads as follows: Section 1. That chapter eighty-seven, section 2234, of the General Statutes be amended by striking out said section 2234 and inserting instead thereof the follow? ing: Section 2234. The county auditor, the county treasurer, and the clerk of the court of common pleas and general ses? sions of each county, shall constitute the board of jury commissioners for their re? spective conntles. Section 2. That section 2235 or the said chapter be repealed and the following inserted instead thereof: Section 2235. That said county auditor, county treasu? rer, and clerk of the court of common pleas and general sessions, shall perform the duties required of them as jury com? missioners without compensation. Section 3. That section 2255 of the said chapter be repealed and the following be inserted thereof: Section 2255. When? ever it shall be necessary to supply any deficiency In the number of grand or petit jurors duly drawn, whether caused by challenge or otherwise, it shall be the duty of the jury ^commissioners under I the directions of the court to draw from the special department in the jury box known as tho tales box, such number of fit and competent persons to serve as furors as the court shall deem necessary to fill such deficiency. That it shall be the duty of the clerk of oourt to keep such jury box. in his custody. Section 4. Tnejury box shall be pro? vided with' throe locks, each different. The key to one shall be kept by the clerk of court, one by the auditor and one by the treasurer, so that no two of said commissioners shall hold keys to the same lock. Seotion 5. This act shall go into ef? fect immediately upon its approval by the Governor. State Liquor la Motels. Tho State Board of Control under the personal direction of Governor Tillman is rapidly arranging things under the new omnibus law to suit themselves. AH along there has been a great deal of complaint from the hotel proprietors about the matter of allowing them to servo liquors to their guests, many of them complaining that the winter busi? ness was bVing paralyzed by the fact that their guests who are always accustomed to getting liquors when they want them, could not secure such luxuries, even when they were willing to pay for them. It will bo remembered that when the proprietors of the hotels af. Aikeu and Charleston came here some time ago Governor Tillman made an arrangement whereby they would be, allowed to get dispensary liquors. This was before the n?w law was thought of, and when the time came for passing the new law provision was made for this classoi trado. Under that provision of the law Governor Tillman and Comptroller General Ell erbe, yesterday propared the following circular giving the new rules and regula? tions of the board applying to the hand? ling of liquors by the proprietors of the various hotels in the State. Copies of these rules and regulations havo heen sent to all the proprietors of hotels in the State and tbey need no other explanation than a perusal: Rules and regulations governing hotels selling liquor, under Section 21 of the dispensary law: First. The manager of the hotel after giving the required bond, must receive a written appointment as assistant to the dispenser from whom Bald liquors are obtained. Second. He will use the request books for orders from guests the same as though purchased at the dispensary, and the sales must conform In every respect to the requirements of the law, especially as to crossing out the labels, and writing the requests, using ink in all cases. Third. No liquors shall be sold except by the bottle. Fourth. The prices on the wine card must be tboae charged at the dispensary. Fifth. He will obtain the liquors or wine by the case from the dispenser and report all sales, and pay over the amount due each day, getting new request books whenever needed and turning them over to the dispenser as fast as filled. Sixth. No liquor shall be sold to auy one but "bona fide" guests of the hotel, whose names are on the register. Seventh. Sales to minors or to men already intoxicated are forbidden and no second sales shall be made to any guest who becomes intoxicated.?Col. State. A Wonderful Det-r. Gon. Hampton is in the city, having just returned from a Christmas deer hu nt in the low country. General Hampton relates the following incident, which occurred on the hunt: He and a friend were on a stand togeth? er and could plainly hear the deep mouthed pack as it drove the deer in their direction. Nearer and nearer it came until a fine buck bounded into view and into shooting distance. The general fired and it fell. Both hunters saw that the animal was badly wounded and to prevent its escape cut its throat from ear to ear. At an unexpected moment the deer struggled to its feet and into the cane brake but not before its hind leg was broken by another shot. The dogs were quickly called and put on its trail. They rau the deer to the Savannah river, not far distant. It cross? ed, but could not get up the high bank on the other Bide, and when the hunters came up it was standing in the water at bay, and fighting the dogs with despera? tion. No boats were available and the deer was left alone with a load of buck? shot in its side, one leg broken and its throat cut from ear to ear, but still alive and fightiug.?Columbia Journal, Jan. 5.

First iho towns, next the trial jii.Mi?*?? ?a iiat next ? Uuclcrt!i.- i'uvimhI ami pitch work dispensary law the trieljusti'-Ks iru to a very largo extent responsible f??r tho success of thesyatein. Governor Tillititui realizes this and yesterday, vvlion talking about the instructions he had sent uut to trial justices, remarked that ho would probably have to remove some of thein within the next sixty (lays. If they were not entirely straight iu "the enforcement of the law, he promised that he would find such men as would co-operate in tho enforcement of tho law. Governor Till man has had copies of the new dispen? sary law sent to every trial justice in tho S ato, and with it went the following instructions: Under the Act approved December 23d, a copy of which is herewith sent you, the duty will largely devolve on trial justices of enforcing the law. The statutes, as construed by the Supremo Court, require Uiatcritninal cases coming witbin the jurisdiction of trial justices shall be tried by a jury on the demand of the defendant, otherwise by the trial justice himself. Jurors are to be sum? moned by the constables alter six names have been drawn from a hat in which eighteen names have been placed by tho constable. It will be the duty of trial justices to see that no names are put in the hat except those of men who will find a verdie:; according to the evidence and not perjure themselves through prejudice against the law. Trial justices who do not act with promptness and vigor and endeavor to enforce the law may as well send in their resignations, as no legli gence or favoritism will be tolerated. Enclosed will be found a form of search warrant, as well as a form for beginning nuisance proceedings under Section 22 of the Act. As it is impossible for State constables to cover the entire territory, trial justices are expected to see that their constables seize all contraband liquor aud make arrests of parties breaking the law as provided by the Act. Every seizure thus mado must be reported to the State Com? missioner, who will send a certificate lor the shipment to him of tho contraband liquor. For such work constables will be paid a reasonable lee upon reporting the facts to the Governor. Special attention is directod to Section 2.0, giving the right to examiue suspicions packagos. Trial justices will in ovory case arrest and proceed against express agents and railroad agents, or other railroad em? ployees, who lay themselves liable under the provisions of the law. The right to search without a warrant applies only to places of business or public places. In all cases where liquor is believed to be in a private residence and is being sold, search warrants most be issued. Per? sons are not allowed to buy in other States and bring into laid 'State any quantity greater than one gallon, The searches must be confined to depots, and no car will be entered to make search, unless by express orders of the'Governor. B. R. Tinman, Governor., Accompanying the instructions is the usual form for the search warrant, for residences or any other place. Here is the form of affidavit prescribed: "Personally appeared-who, being duly sworn, deposes and says that he is informed by-and verily believes from such information, and his own observa? tion, that in (describe place, premises or bouse) there is now deposited, stored, and kept contraband liquors,"in violation of law, to wit: (particularly describing the same,) and that said intoxicating and contraband liquors are there kept, stored, and deposited by-bis aiders and abet? tors, without a permit, in violation of the lawB of the State. "Wherefore, deponent prays that a search warrant may issue, commanding the search of said piomises and their appurtenances, anu that such contraband liquors may be brought before tbexsourt, aud Buch action taten concerning the same as is authorized by law." And this will be the trial'justices' orders to the constables : "These are, therefore, to authorize and require you, with necessary and proper assistants, to enter into tho said house (or other place appurtenant thereto) of the said-aforesaid, and there diligently by day or by night search for tho said contraband liquors, and if the same or any part thereof shall be found upon such search, that you bring the said liquors so found, and also seize aqd bring all vessels, bar fixtures, screens, bottles, glasses, and appurtenances, apparently used or suitable for use, in or about such liquors, take a complete inventory of the same, and deposit the -same with the sheriff, which said articles are there to remain, to be disposed of as required by the provisions of the dispensary law." There wiU be very many trial justices, and a greaFmany more constables who will have trouble over this same form of search warrant. Palling: Together. The Manufacturers' Record, of Balti? more, bus this strong and suggestive edi? torial: "The thousands of Southern people who went to the World's Fair thought it a wonder, thought Chicago a great city, and most of tbem may have thought the Chicago people above the ordinary plane of humanity. A lew hundred studied out the real cause of it all. The fact is that in all the glittor and glare and splen? dor and interest of such an exposition we are lost in admiration of tho outside, and cannot coolly analyze tho forces that have produced such a marvelous conception of man's ingenuity. "A Chicago correspondent of tho New York Times has been making just such an analysis. In spite of all that has been heard of Chicago in the last ten years, ho argnes that until the World's Fair it was known to the people across the water as one might regard a "puff of smoke in a cloudy sky"?to be thought of for the in? stant. But the European visitors to this country in 1803 will never forget tho miniature city nor the people who crea? ted it, while to Americans Chicago has be? come a household word which will be perpetual, "How did the Chicago people accom? plish it all? By unanimity of action. By 'pulling together.' "The projects which have resulted suc? cessfully in Chicago have beon carried out by pulling together. People haveu't time for much discussion out there. If a shrewd business man or capitalist has a plan which he thinks is good, his friends rely a good deal on hit judg? ment and what he has done in the past. They help him, and the object is accom? plished. When the gates were first opened to the White City the idea of having a "Chicago Day" was scarcely thought of. Most of the residents were for the time content with the other re? sults of the exposition. Some one final? ly conceived it. Chicago thought it prac? tical. Everyone who could go, went? first, because he wanted to see the fair again ; second, because he felt he was a part of Chicago and he wanted to help make it a-success. On that "day 71G.881 people paid admissions to it. Just think of it a moment. "Every city and town in tho South can imitate Chicago. Wo don't mean on the same scale nor anything approaching it, but by folllowing the same principle?by pulling together. If a town of 1,000 peo? ple wants a store or factory, which is the best way to get it?let twenty or thirty work for the enterprise which will bene? fit all and the rest do nothing, or have all work for tt ? The question answers itself. "The Chicago fair is a good thing to think over, especially the reasons for its success. Augusta people have thought over it, and the exposition is one of the results. Atlanta people are thinking of it, and 1805 will show the brilliant con? ception of this thought. "No, the Chicago people are no higher, no brighter and have no more ability than the people of any Southern city. "Pull together and see if this is not true." Boiler Explosion in Suniltr. Sumter, January 0.?Information was received in Sumter this morning about 12 o'clock that the boiler used in the lum? ber mill of J. E. Law, at Elliott's, had exploded with terrible effects. Your correspondent proceeded to the scene of the disaster, and there found one man dead, two men seriously wounded and the mill badly torn up._ The brains of tho dead man were bespattered over the timber thereabout. It appears that Mr. Law, the owner of the mill, was standing with hi?i hand upon tho throttle giving some directions when, from some cause which will never be learned, there was a terrible explosion, and Mr. Law was hurled thirty feet distant, his body going through the top of the shed aud leaving bis brains upon the boards. The killed and wounded are: John E. Law, killed; J. J. Luckoy, seriously wounded ; Henry Monehan, very badly wounded ; J. C. Mullock, badly burned.

About forty dele? gates were present. Speeches were made by Dr. Sampson Pope and .Senator Irby. Men not members of the Alliance, but in sympathy with it, were admitted to hear the speaking. Tho following*resolutions, offered by J. Andy Jones, wore passed unanimously by the Alliauce : Be it resolved by this County Alliance now assembled: First. That tho Alliance men of Lau rena County reassert their allegiance to thfl principles of tho National and State Alliance and all tho planks of the Ocala platform, and that any candidate whose stomach is too weak "to swallow it need not expect our support. Second. That in State politics, as mem? bers of the Democratic party and believ? ers in and as members oi' the Reform Movement of that party, we approve of the calling of a Convention to name can? didates who are in accord with it to bo voted for in the general primary election, but we insist as a matter of right that the Convention shall not be held sooner than the 1st of July of this year, for the reason that wo want to see and hear the sentiments of the candidates among the Reformers. To"*do otherwise is fore? stalling tho peoplo and rc-enae?ne the tricks of the ring that controlled this State so long, to wit, the naming of can? didates Who are unknown to the masses of this State in whose candidacy they have not participated. Tnird. We hold ourselves bound to support the nominees of tho July Con? vention in the primary election in Sep? tember, but we demand that simon pure Reformers be named, men against whom naught can be said as to their loyalty to truth, to the Allianco and to the Reform Movement. Fourth. That great caro must boused both in calling and in holding the town? ship and county primary convention to send delegates to the said State July Con? vention, and wo recommend that Gover? nor Tillman select three Reformers who will act with him and draft rules for the calling and holding of said township and county primary "conventions, so that none but Reformers will participate in the election of delegates to tho July State Convention, and that the four gentlemen referred to abovo call the naid July Con? vention, if such bo tho seutimeutof the Reform Movement. Fifth. That we further suggest that in tho naming of candidates, from United States Senator to Adjutant and Inspector General, tbe Convention shall not ignore that element in the Reform faction who are Non-Alliance men and inelligible to membership in the Alliance, but who aro true to the principles of the Alliance and the Reform faction. Sixth. That theLaurens Herald, the Columbia Daily Register, the Cotton Plant the Piedmont Headlight and other Reform papers in tho Stato are requested to publish these resolutions: Resolutions offered by County Auditor 0. G. Thompson were adopted, condemn? ing tho "factious and criminal opposition of Anti-Roform leaders and newspapers to the dispeusary law;" holding them responsible for tbe troubles in enforcing it, and particularly tbe receut bloodshed and whipping in Sparenburg, and pledging the Alliance to uphold Governor Tillman in his efforts to make tho law effectual.?News and Courier. ' Suicide of a Florida Physician. Jacksonville, Fla,, January 8.?Dr. George Center, a prominent physician of this county, committed suicide at 8 o'clock this morning at his home on Cedar Creek, six miles from the city. Dr. Center had been a practicing physi? cian in this county lor several years. His office was in tbe city up to a few months ago. Business became so dull that he determined to move out to the country place of his wife and raise tobac? co. His crops were not a success, and he became involved in debt and discouraged. The worry drove him to suicide. After eating breakfast the doctor walked out on the front porch of his residence, and a few minutss alter reaching there blew out his brains. The doctor's first wife died and he married within three months, a Mrs. King, who, at tbe time of her marriage to Dr. Conter, had been out of the Geor? gia Lunatic Asylum only a few months. Soon after her release from the asylum the unfortunate woman gave a long story to the press, relative to the unjustness of her incarceration and the horrible way she was treated there.. The story was reproduced in the Georgia papers and resulted in an investigation by Governor Northen, the result of which investiga? tion was substantially a denial that Mrs. King had been treated badly. Mrs. Center is very eccentrio in manner and speech, and her story of the suicide and the events immediately preceding it would be laughable but for tbe tragedy involved. She says that the doctor arose in a cheerful mood and aided her to make her toilet. The following letter was left by the doctor for his wife: "January 8,1804.?My own Lula: This farm life in Florida is too much of a drag for me, hence I leave you to get a better man for yourself. You aro the best, purest and most noble woman I ever know, and lam doing you a favor in going to the unknown, so that you will be free to enjoy life as you should. Do not shed a tear over me, for I am unwor? thy of your fut ure attention. Do not ex? pect to revive me by getting medical help, for I will take enough opium to allay all pain and George's pistol will do the final work. "Adieu my bestand only friend. "George F. Center." Appreciated too Late. The alligator was never beloved by the people living in the regioua where it abounded ; the farmers anathematized it as a destroyer of young pigs, while ev? eryone agreed it was an ugly, useless animal. But since the demand for its skin for yalises, pockotbooks, and a thousand and one such uses, has resul-. ted in the almost entire destruction of the alligator, the residents of the bay and bayou regions of Louisiana and Florida have discovered the huge saurian's val? ue. With its disappearance there has been a great increase in the number of muskrats, rabbits, raccoons and other mischievous animals, and in some parts of Louisiana, since the disappearance of the alligator, these animals have lately become a dangerous pest. The rats burrow through the levees built to keep tbe water on the rice fields during the growing season, and do im? mense damage. Constant watchfulness and much hard work is required to keep up the levees, and oftentimes are so honeycombed as to need entire recon? struction. The rabbits aud raccoons make great havoc on tbe truck farms, destroying lettuce, cauliflower and cab? bage wholesale. Some farmers have had to build wire fences about their fields, while others have abandoned the raising of these vegetables. Several years ago a law was mado in Piaquemine Parish for? bidding the killingof alligators, and with their increase tho destructive vermin de? creased. But that law has since been re? pealed. An Enraged Bull. Louisville, Ky., January 5.?A fine Holstein bull broke away to day while being lod along the street and played havoc before being captured. The bull attacked Mrs. Anna Goldstein, sixty years of age, and tossed her into the air several times and trampled her be? neath its feet. The woman was instantly killed. Leaving the woman the bull dashed up Floyd street and at Green street tossed Charles Green into the air bruising him very badly. Haifa block further George Watson crossed tho bull's path and met with a similar reception. He was se? verely hurt. Will Denham, a onerarm man, at this point came up aud seized the rope which was tied about the bull'* horns. The enraged animal turned upon him, but Denham dodged around a tree when he tied the rope. Wheu the char? ging bull reached the end of the rope he was hurled to the ground. A party of men were sent for and the angry animal was taken away. Man9field and Jeffries, who own the bull, will be sued by the dead woman's husband, and also by tho men who were injured. A Drnnkard's Awful Fate. TUSCCMBIA, Ala., January 4.?Last night Jako Kilroy, residing "near here, w nt homo drunk. Ho early retired to bed with his lighted pipe in his mouth. Tho bed clothing took fire and the honse was burned. Kilroy endeavored to es? cape but was overcome by smoke and roasted alive.

Recently tho Legislature changed tho law which has heretofore made it a peni? tentiary crime to steal live stock, and there will doubtless soon he an epidemic of thefts of cheap cows. Tho first appli? cation of this new law was made iu this city yesterday. Charles George Washington Williams, tho negro cow thief whoso arrest by the police was mentioned, was yesterday morning taken before a trial jus tee. The cow he stole was valued at less than $20, and the new law says that tho stealing of live stock valuod at less than 820 shall bo considered potty larcony onl}-.

Bowon Moore, tho most extensive pen? sion agent in Western New York, with his ?on, Allen, and five clerks, were ar? rested this afternoon by United States of? ficers on the charge of defrauding tho governinent, and extorting money from pensioners. Col. Moore, since 1SSU, has secured over (",000 claims, of which, it is said, over 4,000 at least are fraudulent. According to Special Examiner Ayres, the government estimates the amount he has fraudulently obtained for pensioners at about one million dollars.

It is also said that others are implicated, among them several well known local at? torneys, aud that moro arrests will soon be made. The First Fiasco. Manning, Jan nary 7.?The first trial in the county for violating the dispensary law was commenced last night at 6 o'clock and ended at 10 o'clock, tho ver? dict being not guilty. The party triod was Jacob Plowdeu, colored, who was arrested upon affidavit made by Mr. S. A. Nettles, member of the Legislature. The witnesses were H. L. Tobias and T. A. Johnson. The State was represented by John S. Wilson, solicitor, and the defence by Messrs. Barron & Levi. The State at one time seemed to have a clear case, but the attorneys for the defence soon caused the witnesses for the State to get mixed. The jury remained in the room a very short time before they reached a verdict. At soon as the ver? dict was rendered every negro in the Court House began to yell. No attempt to stop them was made by the trial justice. Mr. Nettles promises some more fun in the near future and it is very likely that more arrestn will be made in the morning. He is no doubt acting upon the superior judgment "of that good man" in Columbia. ? The directors of the Newberry cotton mills.have decided to increase the capital stock from $250,000 to ?400,000 and to greatly enlarge the building. ?

The Chronicle says : "The man who would appoint bloody Jack Bladon a State constable?under any circumstances whatsoever, even if it were in the midst of the millennium ?is a very bad and a very wicked man.
