The Klling of Col. / W. R Blair.
, The usual peaae and quiet of our
' to** n was disttul/ed on last Tuesday,
the 4th inst?, Vy the killing of Col.
L. W. R Blair by Capt. James L
j Haila. From the evidence before
1 the Coroner's Jury, it appears that
Go*. Blair and Capt. Haile had met
in front, of the tax office and were
talking"together, when suddenly they 1
both appeared to be angry:* Captain
Haile immediately stepped into
the tax office and returned with a j
pistol asd a Spencer rifle. Colonel 1
Blair wasN^ithin a few steps of the
door when Captain Haile came J
out. Upon seeiiig. the rifle and
pistol m the hands o^lOapt. H., Col
B. pnt^iis hand up to lrisjeft breast
as if to. draw a pistol, and^c^vancod ,
on Capfc. Haile but, beforehelHwldj1
draw a weapon Capt H. fired thrlv ]
tdmesfrapidly, all of the balls striking
Col B. killing him instantly. There are ^
various reports as to the cause of the ^
difficulty, but as the matter will
undergo judicial examination wo for- ^
bear further comment
It is greatly lamented 6y the en-< *
tire community that this unfortunate |
affair took place, but it is said to j
have been a personal matter entirely. ^

improving the Wateree.
A few weeks ago we mentioned
;he fact that an appropriation of $15,
)00 had been made for improving the
iavigation of the "Wateree. Also,
hat $8,000 had formerly been ap
)ropriated by Congress for the same
rarpose. The $8,000 has been used
ip and scarcely two miles of the river
las been cleared of logS; whereas,
ve believe (and we speak from in
ormation derived from persons who
ire well acquainted with the river)
hat ten times this distance should
lave been cleared. We sincerely
rust that the present appropriation
vill not begobbledup in the same way
rat that this sum (the 815,000) should
>e awarded to a mau or company
rho will do enough work to entitle
hem to a color of claim to the mony.
We don't care to see the jobbery
nd corruption of Washington and
Tew York brought into practice
[own here.
Capt. W. W- Skinner, formerly
>liput?ju UJ LUC aicaiuci uuav xuu u jyn
our river, is probably better ac*
nainted with the Wateree than any
thor man in, or out of, the State,
le has made what we consider a
ery fair proposition, and one which
re hope our people will do their utlost
to get the proper . authorities
o accept, He knows exactly what
5 needed in the river, 'and where
rork will do the most good.
Again, his proposition to run his
teamer upon the river after completing
the work] would be of incalulable
benefit to tdl the people livag
along it The immense amonnt 1
f naval etc.. pro*
? Mlfleii lor u lung distance no?i
^ wagons before they can -readr-ff
larket, and thus entail a heavy exense
upon the farmer which itauld
0 saved if a steamer were running on
he river.
We have just received a letter from
!apt. Skinner, and we give it below
1 order that our people may more
roperly understand his offer, and
re hope to see some united action
aken by them in order to have him
ilaced in charge of the work.

Mil Editob: Inyourissue of the Camen
Journal ofthe 22d instant, I am pleased
> note that recent Governmental appropriaions
have increased the fund >01* the
learance of tho Wateree river, to $15,
00. I understand that, there being no
raw in the Rail Road bridge, the steamer
ow engaged in prosecuting the work is unble
to get beyond that point, and conseuently,
her operations ore considerably
cstricted. The object of this communiation
is to inform you that 1 am now in
ommand of a new steamer recently built
t this place, and now plying between here
nd Fayetteville, N. C. This boat is splenidly*adapted
to the navigation ofthe
fateree, and if sufficient inducements were
eld out, I would transfer it to your waters.
f the engineer in cnarge or me improvelents
will charter this boat on terms as
ivorable and liberal as those extended to
he "Marion," I will obligate to put her
eyond the bridge and remove the ob?
tructicns which now prevent successful
avigation between that point, and Oamen.'
When the work is completed]! will
save the steamer on the lino and establish
egular passenger and freighting facilities
etween the two points. It is only necesary
for so roBpectable and influential a
Durnal as your own to take the initiative
0 insure a hearty co-operation of ull who are
ntercsted in the development of your secion
of 8outh Carolina. Petitions from
our citizens, praying lhe removal of obtructions
which prevent this stream being

Mr Editor : A lack of interest in,

i,art of farmers .is one great cause of
lijii-iMnfuntinn fon their nartl with the
v r /
egi&lutinn of the State. Office seekers
nd their frit-Das arc permitted to
ninipulate our primaries or nominating
onveutions and thus control uppoiutaent
or elections to office. The result
>f this evil was exhibited in the legislation
of our last General Assembly. Al,hough
a majority of our citizens are
hrmers, a test vote on tho repeal of
he Lien law proved that their majority
ivas not represented in our Legislative
galls, The State Grange and the
State Agricultural and Meohanical
societies uoanimnusly and earnestly
urged the repeal of said law witbont

hold that the^ succpss^of the farmer is

The scholars, after thorough and complete

gate to the public strong evidence of
the fact that they had been thoroughly

with the spirit which was infused
into them, they had nothing in J
