Isaac Brown, a negro convict from tho State Penitentiary, in the gang employed by Mr. W. Q. Hammond, died suddenly last Friday afternoon. , Tho gang had been at work that day on Mr. J. It. Vandivor's place two miles south of the city. Tho weather was extremely hot. About "? o'clock tho negro complained that his head was swimming, and began to stagger.

After an examination the physicians announced that death was caused by a sunstroke, and the Corouer gave a burial permit. Wednesday night last, William Pow ers killed Johu Kichey near Fair Play. Tho killing is said to be tho result of an old trouble between the two men. Powers is said to have gone to Kichcy's houso and had his horse stabled and fed about sun down. Kichey wns not at home at the time, but soon came. The men sat and talked heartily for sonic time, when Powers said he would get his horse and Kichey went with him and aided in saddling the horse. Powers mounted his horse, called to Kichey as if to .ask him some question, and as Kichey looked Powers shot him in the head, killing him instantly. Powers has been arrested and lodged in jail at Walhalla. Tho Columbia correspondent of the Xcwsd; Courier says thntGov.McSwoc ney has received a letter from Honca Path, in which the writer says that the portion of Donald's Township which wanted to go to Anderson County has voted so to do. Tho writer says that tho vote stood 20 to 5, and then he goes on to give a sarcastic report of how the supervisors of registration tried to run things. He says that tho vote would havo been much larger had the super visors not sent a book for 180C, and said that they had lost the book with tho list of registered voters since that time. If the voters who had registered since then had been available, ho says, tho vote would havo been larger. Then ho goes on to Bay that several voters wen; allowed to vote who had registered since that time, because the supervisor had "forgotten +o lose" tho stub book in which was reiordcd the list of some of the most recent of those 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 an artery in ono of his arms. Tho negro owned a cow, which would frequently get out of the pasture and invado Mr. Dean's crop. On Monday afternoon tho cow was again seen in the fields, and Mrs. Dean sent her little son to enpturo tho cow. The negro saw the little boy af ter the cow and came ont to attack the boy, who notified his mother. Mrs. Dean came to her son's rescue and or dered tho negro to leave. Tho negro refused to go and threatened Mrs. Dean, who then sent for Mr. Dean. As the boy started on? the negro throw rocks at him, ono or two knocking him down. Tho boy, however, kept going and found his father, who returned and told the woman she had to leave his plantation at once. She cursed Mr. Dean, who picked up a switch and threatened to whip her. Tho woman then advanced on Mr. Dean with a concealed razor, which she used with all her force. Doctors Will,tie and Harris attended Mr. Denn and dressed his wounds, which are very painful, though not serious. There was much excitement in the neighborhood, aud tho negroes, us usual, in that section congregated at the woman's house, to defend her. Tho negro will be arrested. Fon Salk at a Bapoain?
