Thc Columbia correspondent of thc Xcwsd; Courier says that G o v. Mcswee ney has received a letter from Hon ea Path, in which the writer says that thc portion of Donald's Township which wanted to go to Anderson County has voted so to do. Tho writer says that thc vote stood 20 to 5, and then he goes on to give a sarcastic report of how thc supervisors ot* registration tried to run things. He says that the vote would have been much larger had the super visors not sent a book for 1890, and said that they had lost the book with the list of registered voters since that time. If the voters who had registered since then had been available, he says, thc vote would have been larger. Then he goes on to say that several voters were allowed to vote who had registered since that time, because the supervisor had "forgotten to lose'' the stub book in which was recorded the list of some of the most recent of tiiose who had been registered. He seemed to think there were a great many "dirty schemes," but was satisfied with the result. Last Monday afternoon Mr. W. L. Dean, who lives near Deans, was as saulted by a negro woman who lived on his plantation and painfully cut in several places, severing au artery in one of his arms. The negro owned a cow, which would frequently get out of the pasture and invade Mr. Dean's crop. On Monday afternoon tlie cow was again seen in the fields, and Mrs. Dean sent her little son to capture the cow;. The negro uaw the little boy af ter the cow and came out to attack the boy, who notified his mother. Mrs. Dean came to her son's rescue and or dered the negro to leave. The negro refused to go and threatened Mrs. Dean, who then sent for Mr. Dean. As the boy started off thc negro threw rocks at him, one or two knocking him down. The boy, however, kept going and found his father, who returned and told the woman she had to leave Iiis plantation at once. She cursed Mr. Dean, who picked up a switch and threatened lo whip her. The woman then advanced on Mr. Dean witli a concealed razor, which she used with all her force. Doctors Wilhite and Harris attended Mr. Dean and dressed his wounds, which arc very painful, though not serious. There was much excitement in the neighborhood, and tlie negroes, as usual, in that section congregated at the woman's house to defend her. The negro will be arrested. fon SALK AT A BAROAIN-< >ne nn-Saw Smith (iiri, KWdT-r and (Jon(lenser in good orcW. MeCuliy Bron.
