Hs, with others of the old Company, havo been industriously at work for several months, und their efforts have at last been crowned with Success. Tho total enrollment of tho old Com pany waa 145, and of this number por traits were Recured of 1!J3, leaving only twelve that wore not represented. On Friday uight tho interesting ceremony of presenting thin collection to tho local military company, which has recently adopted the name of the Palmetto Hiilemen, took place at the Armory. Tho collection has been mounted in a handsome frame, and will hereafter occupy a conspicuous placo on the walls ot the Armory. Hon. G. F. Tolly, a survivor of the old Company, presided.and introduced Col. James A. Hoyt, of Greenville, tho orator of tho occasion. Col. Hoyt cull ed attention to tho fact that the history of tho Company had been prepared by him twenty years ago, and was after wards published iu pamphlet form. It was, wo bul ie ve, hist given in an ad dress at a Reunion of the Company at Keys' Springs, near the city. The speaker did not, therefore, attempt to {rive a history of the old Company. Ie spoke feelingly of the courage and fortitude of thu members of the Com pany. Their record in war was splen did. Thirty men were killed in battle or mortally wounded, and 78 were wounded, making a total of ION. Lieut. Heud< rson accepted the por trait on behalf of the new Company, and said that his Company would al ways sacredly preserve the gift and would try to live up to tho high stand ard sot by tho old Company. Capt. JlfcCully also said a few words in the same spirit as Mr. Henderson. Talks of a reminiscent nature were made by W. A. Hammond and W. A. Fant, both veterans and members of the old Company. The exercises were brought toa closo by Mr. Tolly, who thanked the new Company for adopting the namo of tho old, and said that he felt confident . hat the name and refutation of tho <?ld Palmetto Riflemen would be worth ily upheld.

The decorations, though not elaborate, wore nevertheless very much in taste and evidenced much ar tistic skill in a trellis work of green -vines interwoven and supported by a back ground of spotless white, while leora the chancel overhead was Bus pended an inverted V shaped arch of clinging vines and evergreens. Potted plants of ferns and palms completed the beautiful simplicity, while the mellow glow from the dimly lit cande labra cast a halo of soft light over the semi-darkened Church, giving a pleas ant scene of sublime beauty.

WUliumatoo, November 84.-Thia at tn nomi u young negro mau, giving hr. minie UH Asia Chapman, carno into town in quest ot Magistrate li. V. Ack er, and iipun finding that oflicer in formed him that ho had ?hot Walker Willimill--, on tho farm of Mr. J. C. Rogers, tbree milos in tho country, and that ho desired to surrender biin Bolf to tho magistrate for protection. The negro wat? promptly locked up in cl! ::: thc guard lieuse for safe keeping, and there ho languishes to night under the charge of murder, for not only did hin story ot the shooting prove true, but very soon after Chap man's arrival hero nows carno from Koger*' farm that his victim was dead, and only lived a few minutes alter re ceiving the fatal wound in the region of the heurt. When seen in tho guard house thia afternoon the young murderer appear ed penitent and to appreciate the enor mity of his crime, lie realized thut he was safer behind the bars than out iu tho community where ho seems to have taken the life of a mun without a milli - cient excuse to justify hie conduct. From the Btory UB gathered by your correspondent in a personal interview with Chapman, and from what eye witnesses to the killing h&vo to say, it appears that the two men had a quar rel on account of Williams having gone hunting this morning with a pis tol which belonged to Chapman, who boarded with Williamsand worked on the same farm with him. When Chap man came in from the Held for dinner and found that Williams had been use ing his pistol, and had used three of his cartridges, he called Williams to task about taking sucli liberties with his property. Both parties became en raged finally and Williams faced his antagonist, who still held the revolver inhishnud. The family of the de ceased man began to scream "don't shoot him," when Chapman levelled his pistol and tired, after which he surrendered. Chapman says that when the women began to scream "don't olmo!" ho thought that Williams was in the act of shooting him, and he tired to save his own life. However, before au intelligent jury of citizens, suchas can be easily found in Anderson Coun ty, it will be a little ditlicult to work tho "self-defence" racket so well in a case of murder.
