THE TKIIUINE RKAVFORT, S.C.
TUe meeting at Vamville last week to
call the attention of the people to the fact
that the laboring classics, arc really in
want, will, no doubt, result in relieving
many destitute and, deserving fmmcrs.
T he committee authorized to receive dona
tiont is owmpnacd of aontc of our best
citizens, who will see to it that the relief
is afforded to the most deserving. Owing
to the drought last year the small fanners
lind their provisions exhausted much
earlier than usual and the large planters
xiuvinjjr sunereu irom inc Fame cause arc
unable to give employment to as many as
usual, and the result is that the small
planter who has planted his crop is entirely
out of provisions, and should he,
-it this time, abandon his growing crop
to BCtK for work the result would
be the entire loss of his labc and a much
worse condition of things the coming
Trnr. There are mnny instances of actual
want where the families are composed ol
women and children and their condition
appeals to the charitable for instant
relief.
Much distress nuglit be relieved by the
payment by the county treasurer of the
- balance due on teachers claims, the payment
of which is withheld for no reason
that can be found out except that while
in his factors hands it draws a lively
interest. The amount of this fund on
haud amounts at present to about five
thousand dollars add as many of the
holders of the claims arc women something
shold be done to compel Mr.
ilolmcstoht go the hard earned wages
of the holders of these claims, and thus
in many instances place many suffering
persons in comparative affluence.

ami work lias been renamed at the old
rates, the only sufferers from the fiasco
being the laborers who have lost several
w eeks wages and from actual want of
food were obliged to go to work. They
w ill no doubt bare again to accept the
obnoxious tickets which were partly the
cm use of the strike. Representative
Hamilton tells us that the whipping administered
was in some cases barbarous,
severe as to render the ecourged men
unfit for work if not to cripple them for
lifo. Several of the rioters have been
anestcd and it is hoped they may receive
a just punishment for their assaults on
nu n whose only fault was a willingness
to work.
A fearful tragedy at the Hotel Inst
Saturday threw our quiet town into n
state of great excitement and the anxiety
to know the full particulars soon caused
u crowd to gather around the doors ol
the building. At abcuit half post five
persons on the second floor heard a noise
us of something heavy falling on the flooi
overhead, and soon after cne of the ball
toys who hod entered the room gave the
ularm that Mrs. Caroline S. Smith, wife
of Capt. F. R. Smith of the monitor
Snug us, had either fainted or was sick
and was lying on the floor helpless. At
once assistance was sent and Mrs. Smith
found on the floor and on being raised
by her husband, who bad been summoned
from tbc lower floor, she was
found to be covered with blood. Dr.
Stuart was called and apon examination
found a bullet hole through her body
from which her life blood was fast
ebbing away. The lady lingered a few
moments during which she endeavored to
speak bnt was nnable to do so when she
died iq great agonj. A pistol was picked
rp on the floor near where she was found,
from which no doubt the bullet had been
fired, which was a heavy navy breechloader
carrying an ounce ball. A coroners
inquest was held by Dr. Johnson and
after an all night session tho jury returned
a verdict that Mrs. Smith came to her
death flrom the effects of a pistol shot
but whether fired by herself or some one
else they were unable to determine. The
remains were buried on Sunday in the
Kpiecopal church yard, she having been

A LITTER FROM LAWTONVILLK. i
Lnwtonville, S. C., June 2 1876.
Editor Tribune:
At the risk of administering nn unpalatable
dose to those, who content to
ik) lashed forever round the same circle j
of expedients, regard any departure:
t from the beaten path as the ?x*rcnic ofi
! folly, I must indulge the disposition to,
redeem my promise, that I would make j
some allusion to tnc "hardness of the]
' Times." and venture some specula! i<.n* i
1 as the probable causes which conduuc to j
produce the distress prevnicut in our j
ramniitnltt _
I Perhaps, at no time in our history, has Jj
| the complaint "hard times" been so gen- J
I era). We have luard it liefnrc, but it I
has been usually confined to the thrift- f
less farmer, and the indolent larborer. j]
Now it ia pronounced with equal earnest- *
ncss and the same intonation of anxiety *
by almost every one with whom you con- J
erae, even those whose active energies. *
and business capacity have hitherto com- r
bhied to secure abundance for the enjoy- *
mant of every reasouable luxury. The *
scarcity of provisions, and the absence of n
means, have bo paralyzed our energies
that want and its dire consequences are ^
held ut bay only by the liberality of those a
whose means enable them to advance and 1
wait for the coming harvest for rcnumcra
tion. But for the interposition of this
clnss there can be no doubt, that destitu- c
tion bordering on starvation would be ?
inevitable. These gcntlomen actuated,
some perhaps by the desire to reap a rich
percentage when crops are "gathered in"
others from motives more disinterested ,
have to the extent of theirahility relieved ,
many from actual want by timely assis-j 8
tanse, but capital is limited in this vicin- S
ity. consequently the inability to obtain (
supplies lias reduced some to the painful
necessity of abandoning crops properly
cultivated up to this time, and requiring c
only a few more ploughings to repay f
lal?or and expenditures. This deplorable | t
condition is not confined to the narrow .
limits of a single neighborhood, hut extends
with greater or less intensity to
other sections from which we have heard. |
Why is this ? Doubtless the unfavorable- j t
ness of the past season, is the foster 11
parent which nourished the growth of |
the difficulty, but we decline to regard it s
the prime cause. The short crop of last ''
year has wo think only developed Unit 1
w(iicu a vnncty 01 causes nave coniumeu i
to produce. 1*. is not reasonable that one j
short crop would reduce a prosperous, v
community to the verge of helplessness, j 1
Many no doubt would feel the pressure,! t
but distress would be confined to xsolati d ' j
cases whose improvidence or general bad j ,
management, would prevent them from
being classed among successful planters, ; r
while the majority would be little ?filet- j t
ed.
We regard the present scarcity of money !
and provisions, simply the result of a 1
combination of causes which have been I v
steadily operating since the inauguration j c
of our pn aent system of farming A | -]
hasty consideration of the usages which j {
obtain among farmers, merchants, and
laborers, will, we think, assist us in the *
investigation. We regard the cotton 1
mania which prevails in this section, s
cause, No. 1. With rare exceptions the {
farmer estimates his crop, and measures
, his success entirely by the number .of
, bales produced. *1 he land set apart for
, cotton (if indeed he plants any thing
else) is the recipient of<very variety ol ,
fertiliser from compost to guano, every
energy is l#ent and no expense spared in
the preparation ot the soil and the culti- c
vation of the plant. No time for corn, t
Enquire of n planter as to the condition of t
his crop, and he tells you of bis cotton,
corn and other grain, (if planted at all) c
are of so little consequence that lie omits *
to mention them, as a part of his crop, c
The best land and every particle of man- t
urc grown on the premises with such
commercial fertilizers as he thinks beat
adapted to improve the growth of plant c
: arc invariably appropriated to "almighty f
cotton.*1 We understand that one gentle t
. man of our acquaintance profiting by ex
Eerience, ha* determined to have corn of
is own raising next year. He is plant- 8
; ing pnly one hundred acres of cotton u
, highly fertilized, and has4 put in1' twenty
, acres of corn, which he did not find it g
convenient to manure, (cotton swallowed
it) He will perhaps under favorable cir- 2
; eumstances, with propitious seasons, <
make corn sufficient to be consumed by c
the first ofMarcli, and then.? >1
With those whose means are insufficient
to enable them to dispense with the
assistance of a Factor, it has been the e
custom to procure advances, secured by '
him on crops, to plant cotton, ship to n
Factor, and fall short. The "lien on' t
crop" is in many instances now backed t
up by mortgage of real estate. They I
cannot fail to sec that those farmers who *
have prospered, and aic now able to con r
tribute of their abundance to the r.eeessi- i:
ties of others, are never known to pur A
chase corn for their ovyn use,but 'Epliraini
i :s still joined to bis idols.' The colored !'
man too, aping the example of others |
pursues as far as he can the same course. ' u
He rents a few acres of land and estimat-! p
1 ing his wealth by the number and sizi of i r
of the animals in his possession, without I k
reference to their condition, whether ik
, fat or lean, whether paid for or not, and
regardless of the fact that he ha9 no provisions
on hand for the suhsistuncc of
i bis animal, purchase "on time'' at ar. exi
orbitant price, the lean horse or mule, and
, proceeds at once to some affable country
merchant, secures hun for supplies ad'
vanned by a lien on crop, and hitching!
! Rosin ante to a crazy plough, vainly im,
aginesthat u few years will Im amply auf
p ficient to accomplish bis fortune. Cotton
be bas no doubt will advance in price,
and he knows how to make it, hut dis-i
i covers at the end of the first season that'
i it has taken everything to settle his in
, dehtedness, and that a little balance is I
still due. Minus horse, destitute of every
' thing else,he is again dependent for bread
' uuon the willingness or ability of Mr.
I Merchant to "run him" and repeats the
, experiment of the preceeding year with
like success, except that he plants a little
more cotton end adds to the little balanoe ]
due. He experiments again upon the
' same land without manuyi^onseqaently
* the soil is gradually impoverished and (
! the condition of Land Owners and Ten- .
I ant not improved. And judging by the
? numerous failure* of Inst ycaf, we doubt 1
r if Merchants realize much by The opera- <
r tion at the present prices of cotton. Be j
1 this as it may, the money which should
? rtam'ate here ha* found its way through *
various channels, to the diffluent pr ?wi- ]'
ion markets, u-itit like old Tim's corn
it is mighty skace." True there are exjcptions.
Some colored men in this
leighborhood have good horses and teed
hem well too, bat they make coru, and
is a general rule you can tell from the
condition of the horse to what extent the
>wner is effected with ''cotton on the
>rain." One noorobl Dr??onnn
illy around Luwtonvilfc is an object of
>ity. Wc saw him a few days since
noving reluctantly to the command, "git
ip Jcrre" enforced l?y the liberal npplicaion
of a cudjcl of immoderate ditneaions,
wielded perhaps with no less vigor
iceause of the fact that Mr. Mcrch int. j
ailed to sec the propriety of living on so t
can an ttnimnl. A solitary buzzard n?>d- 1
led his approval from his perch hard by,
lut flew away at the near approach of
M?or old "Jerre," and hi s unfeeling rider
n apparent disgust at his prominence of
Kincs. Another colored gentleman,
ihose hopes from cotton ran high laKt
ear, rolled in and seeing a load of corn
or his dilapidated cart essayed to borow
a box with the remark that he must
eed "Jim*' before he got home, two or
hree miles off", as he really had been so
luch hurried that he had neglected to
lo so that morning. lie had the corn at
omc, of course he had, but the appear nce
of Jim was significant of the fact
hat the master was usually burned about
sed time. Want of^unc and space forld
the not'ee of oCwrr matters in this
onnection, which will form the subject
f the next growl. Bruin.
FATAL ACCIDKNT.
A sad and fatal aocident occurred on
lie Port lloyal railroad last Friday re-1
lilting in the instant death of Millard
leals, a son of John II. Souls editor of|
lie Sunny South of Atlanta. The deeased
was one of a large party of exursionists
on their way from Alantn to
>ort lloyal to visit the fleet, and at the
ime of the accident was on the steps of
he passenger car and while passing over
lie trestle work at Salt Water bridge a
irojccting piece ot timber struck the step
browing the young man off, who, it is
bought, in falling struck his head ou
omc of the timbers, the blow rendering
iim senseless. From the bridge ho fell
nio the river and belcre ttic train could
le stopped he was drowned. His body
ras found after a short search and taken
o Port lloyal, from where it was shipped
lie next morning to his home. Dr.
lohnson detained the train at the depot
nng enough to hold an inquest, the jury
ciidcring a verdict in accordance with
lie above tacts.
Sir. Seals, we are informed was an only
on and a youth of great promise, lie
van h student in college preparing to
ntcr the ministry in the Baptist church,
flio car in which he was riding at the
iuic of the accident belonged to the
Jcorgia railroad and the steps being
uwer than those of the Port lloyal cars
truck the limber over which the cars ol
he Poit Royal train pass in safety.

The court of General Sessions, his
lienor Judge Moher presiding, convened
on Monday. The only business trausacted
on that day was u short charge to
the grand jury .who retired to act on indictments.
Tuesday morning the grand
jury handed in the following indictments:
Joseph Ward and Titus Green, murder,
true Idll; Jack Bailey, rape, no bill,
Robert Smith and others, riot, no bill.
McDevitt, treasurer of Edgficld county
has undoubtedly run away with the
county funds, thanks to the injunction of
i Judge Carpenter that has prevented their
j being paid out for so long. TJic Adj
rrrtiser estimates that the county is a
losir to the extent of one hundred ihousand
dollar. Efforts are being made to
get a mail appointed who will be satis
factory to the taxpayersof this plundered
county. It is said the defaulter has left
funds to protect his bondsmen.
