The Ncwfi and Courier of the Kith inst. says : ' The case of the Stillwell-Bierce Smith-Vaile Company against the Wil liamston oil and FertilizerCompany came up for a hearing before Judge Simonton in the United States Circuit Court yesterday. The case was brought on an order to show cause why a receiver should not be ap pointed to take charge of the defendants' property. A bill for injunction and the appointmont of a receiver wa9 filed in the Court some time ago. After hearing the arguments Judge Simonton took the mat ter undor advisement. Mr. Joseph W. Barnwell and Mr. Julius II. Heyward, of Greenville, represented the complainants. Mr. George E. Prince, of Anderson, ap peared for the defendants," Abbeville Prats and Banner : " A foul murder was committed last Thuisday night in tho shooting of one Robert (H?v er, colorod, near the section houses cn the Savannah Valley lifilroad in tho neigh borhood of Latimer.

Edwards impannelled a jury and toot down all evidence obtain able, after which the jury returned a ver dict in accordance with above facts. Since the above Asbury and John Hunter, col ored, have been lodged in jail, charged with the murder of the said Robert Glover." Ilonea Path Chronicle: "A terrible ac cident happened at this place last Thurs day which came near causing Mr. Jesse Kay and Gus Gary their lives. They were engaged in blasting rock from a branch for Mr. Harper and were packing a heavy blast when it exploded and hurled them several feet, and when assistance reached them it was found that they were badly hurt. They were brought to town and placed under the care of Drs. Hough and Shirley. It was found that Mr. Kay's Injuries were severe. His right arm was crushed and broken, his left log broken, and his face cut and bruised and his body badly bruised. Ills wounds were dressed and he was sent to his home. Gus Gary had his face cut and several of his teeth knocked out. It is a wonder that they were not blown into atoms, as it was a heavy blast and large rocke were hurled high in the air, and an iron bar which Mr, Kay had in his hand was broken in two pieces. Mr. Kay is getting along nicely though suffering a great deal of pain," The Williamston correspondent of the Greenville News, under date of the 16th inst., says: "A case that has excited the indignation as well as tbe sympathy of our town was brought to notice a few days ago wbeu it was ascertained that Mrs. R. A. Bass and her four little helpless children, the youngest an infant of six months, had been deserted by the hu band and father, who had eloped with bis own niece and gone to parts unknown. Bass moved to Williamston with his family about four months ago (from no one knows where) claiming to be a veterinary surgeon, but proved to be a failure in that line. He then purchased a graphopbone, mortgaged his wife's household goods for tbepaymont of it, boarded the train with a girl named Emma Lyerby, his own sister's daughter, of Statesville, N. C., and loft his wife and children without a single penny or any thing on which to subsist. When tbe facts of tbe case were made known Mrs. Bass and tbe little children were actually found to be suffering for the necessaries of life. Our town council has taken the case in hand and provided relief. In the mean time Bas3 should be punished to tbe ex tent of the law. It is said that be Is now somewhere in this State and can be easily identified from the outfit above described. The girl with whom he eloped is about 19 years of age." List Sunday, in company with Mr. M. L. Willis, we had the pleasure of visiting and spending the day at that historic old Church, Ebenezer, in Martin Township, and to say that our visit was a most en joyable one but feebly expresses it. The morning services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. T. Duncan, who preached a most practical and impressive sermon. The subject of his discourse was based on a few verses of the 21st chapter of St. John, where the blessed Saviour commanded Peter to feed His Iambs and sheep. Mr. Duncan drew some practical lessons ?rom these commands, and proved to his hear ers that they were applicable to them. Mr. Duncan is one of the youngest mem bers of the South Carolina Conference, and i? doing a good work in the Master's vine yard. At the conclusion of the morning service, the large congregation was dis missed to partake of dinner, which was served on the grounds. After dinner the congregation assembled again in the Church and spent two hours or more in a praise service, which was conducted by Mr. Willis, and heartily joined in by all present. On the first page of the INTELLI gencer this week appears a sketch of the Ebenezer section and one of its first set tlers, the late Col. John Martin, which was contributed to our columns by a citizen of that section. As this correspondent states, Ebenezer Church was crganized more than a oentury ago. This fact can be verified by a stroll through the adjoining ceme tery, where rests the romains of some of the first settlers of that section. Here lies the remains ofthat famous school teacher, Robert Breckinridge, wbo taught continu ously for sixty-eight years, and whoso grave, we regret to say, is not marked. Lorenz? jw and James Danelly, two famous preachers in their time, have preached in Ebenezer Church. There is still used in the Church a table on which Mr. Dow is said to baye sat, tailor-fash ion, and preached. This venerable table, of course, is highly appreciated as a relic. We met many old friends and found new acquaintances during the day, and when* ever tbe opportunity offers itself we will again visit this sacred old plaoe.
