Rev. J. A* .Monday,'the eloquent
Baptist preacher who delivered several
lectures to ueiig'ated hearers in oar town
last December, and among t?em his
famous lectur? on "The Devil, and How

Church in Greenville, and will probably

and most elo^uentpreachers of the South
and will be * Worthy successor to Dr.
Strickland. ' ? ; :.
S?<ant 04ttfll^Kis not often that
wo venture?to advise our farmers what
to do about their farms, from the. simple
reason that we have a sott of a sneaking
idea that they know more about their j
business than we do, but, in view of the
cborr.corn crop this year, we must be ex
cused for offering just two words of ad
vice, and they are, "Plant Oats." Yes,
friends, plant oats early and often. They
are. a good thing to have around the
plantation when corn is scarce.
That is an interesting article from the
Greenville Nubs, upon the subject of ex
tensive grape growing near that city,
and It should afford food for reflection to
our people who have all along neglected
this and kindred industries. Of course
it is not necessary to go into the busi
ness cn such a large scale in order to
make it profitablerer a few acres can
be made to return as much in profits as
many times the area in cotton. Let us
have a few instances of grape growing as
a business.
Many Southern exchanges are recom
mending young men to become brick
masons, since these command $6 a day.
The young doctor is advised to throw
away his pill box, the incipient lawyer
the green bag and the clerk his ledger or
.. jpard ?tick. The $6 per day argument Is
good, bot every man investing in a trowel
and snatching up brick and mortar would
not necessarily make a brick mason.
The dizzy heights of success are not
more easily reached in masonry than in
other avocations.
Bangs.?The ladies have gone back
'-earbangs siDce they have been pressed
Into service by the male juveniles. If
they insist on it, we think they should
be allowed the monopoly in that line,
Thus far, it seems to be confined pretty
much to those who formerly parted their
hair in the middle,.and.this is but anoth
er step in the encroachment oa woman's
rights. We feel.'half inclined to guess
what will be the next move,; but we
forbear, and will awaifi further develop
ments in that hue..
*--~2&osia?atet>.-^T^o friends; of-Mr?'(
C. M. Pooser, of our County, will be
gratified to learn that he hae been com
pletely exonerated from the charge which
was brought against him ot placing ob
structions upon the Atlanta & Charlotte
Air Line Railroad in Georgia. He was
tried last week at Clarksville, Ga? Gen.
Izlar aeting as his counsel. The jury
promptly broughfrin a verdict of acquit
tal, the charges lacking substantiation
at all points." The young man returns
to his home with a lighter heart.
A Treat in Store.?We take espe
cial pleasure in commending to our
amusement-loving population the enter
tainment to be given Tuesday evening
at Way's Hall by the Summerville Dra
matic Club, which gave an entertain
ment sometime ago in our town. The
?play to be rendered on Tuesday evening
is a popular comedy entitled "Com
rades," which is very highly spoken of
fc%f those4ia.ve seen it. "The Club will
be assisted by two young ladies of our
town. We hope our citizens will give
the Club a warm reception, as it weH
deserves iheir patronage. Tickets cai
be had at Mr. Reeves' Drug Store at 50

The Bethel Picnic?The picnic
of the Bethel Church Sunday School on
last Thursday was a successful and inter
esting affair. The-day was pleasant and
everything combined to make the occa
sion a happy one. The Sunday School
jmderjhe bnperintendency of Mr. Hamp
Miller is in a most flourishing condition,
, numbering about one hundred and seven
ty-five pupils* This Church is one of j
the charges of Rev. J. B. Platt. The
day was spent in the usual picnic sports
and amusements and all present of the
large crowd seemed to enjoy themselves.
The religious exercises were particularly
interesting and profitable, excellent
speeches having been delivered to the
children by Dr. Raysor, Rev. J. B.
Massabeau and Mr. B. P. Izlar. Pas
sages of scripture were creditably recited
hy Misses Patrick, Foures and Miller.
The dinner was sumptuous and reflected
the hospitality of the good people of the
community. The day will long be re
membered with pleasure by all whose
good fortune it was to participate in the
celebration.
Help the Schools.?The Newberry
Herald, alluding to the common practice
of people1 depending altogether on the
public schools without any effort to help
them with private funds and then in
dulging in wholesale abuse of the public
school system, says: "Try an illustra
tion. Those farmers who are in the ha
bit of "slopping their hogs' every morn
ing, have doubtless^ observed that when
the slop is exhausted, some of the hogs
will Tange' off and act on the principle
of Toot hog or die,' while others will lie
About the swill-trough the live-long day,
waiting and grunting for more slop,
just so, when the public school fund "is
exhausted, certain neighborhoods sup
plement it and keep their schools open?
to them it is a blessing; but other neigh
borhoods, that are disposed to wait for
more public *pap,' close their schools
and corse the State, and prate about the
inefficency of the public school system.
The Illustration is uot elegant, but iten
our point-^and those who have
to see ite inelegance will have
judgment to appreciate its applies.
The system is a farce to nobody
who use it ma farcical way."

will, doubtless, soon be brought up for
consideration: :tBe it enacted by the
Senate and House of Bepresentatives of
the State of South Carolina, now met
and sitting in General Assembly, and by
the authority of the same, that whenever
a number of the citizens of any incorpo
rated city, town or village in this State,
equal to one-third of the number of votes
cast in the next preceding municipal
election therein, shall, in writing, on or
before the fifteenth day of November in
any year, petition for an election upon
the question of 'license' or 'no license,'
for the sale of intoxicating liquors there
in, the Council of such city, town or vil
lage is hereby authorized and required to
submit such question to the qualified
electors of such city, town or village at
a special election to be held therein, on
or about the first day of December tol
lowing; and if a majority of said electors
vote in favor of'license,' then the Coun
cil of such city, town or village shall
grant license according to the laws now
of force in the State, lor the sale of
liquors m such citv. town or village for
the ensuing year; hut if a majority of
said electors vote in favor of 'no
license,' then it shall be unlawlul for
the Council of such city, town or village
so voting, to -grant any license for the
sale of any spirituous or intoxicating
liquors, bitters or fruits prepared with
such liquors, for the ensuing year."
Killed by a Cotton Press.?A
dispatch to the News and Courier, under
date of September 18th. from Georges'
Station, says: '"Mr. John A. Judy, an
estimable citizen and successful planter
of this section, died to-day from injuries
sustained by the falling of a piece .of tim
ber across his shoulders while packing a
bale of cotton on an old-fashioned and
somewhat decayed screw press. . He
lived several hours after the accident.
Although owning considerable real estate
himself he has for several years past
cultivated and managed the large planta
tion of-the late Chancellor Carroll on
the Edisto, at which' place he died." ?
Bow at the State-House.
"N. ? G. G.," correspondent of the
News and Courier, gives the following
'amount, of a row that occurred at the
State-House in Columbia on Saturday:
VMr. J. P. Thomas, Jr., the Governor's
?private??secretary, was standing this
morning in the corridor of the State
Hpuse'm front of the Governor's office,
quietly 'talking to two gentlemen about
an : absent friend, when Col. James |F.
Lipscomb, Secretary of State, came up
and injected into the conversation au
offensive remark about Mr. Thomas'
friend.. According to the most credible
accounts,'Mr. -Thomas said, 'Mr.?^?is
ray friend; you have a right to form your
own opinion of him, Colonel, but I do
not agree with you.' Col. Lipscomb
thereupon renewed his assertion in a
loud tone. Mr. Thomas quietly reiter
ated his reply and then walked into his
office. Presedtly Col. Lipscomb.went to
Mr. Thomas's inner office and met him
at the door saying angrily, 'You virtual
ly said I lied just now.' Mr. Thomas
replied, 'No, I didn't. I merely took
up for a friend.' Col. Lipscomb sudden
ly rushed forward and slapped Mr.Thor
mas's face. Mr. Thomas replied with
several blows. They then grappled.
Col. Lipscomb weighs over 200 pouuds
and Mr. Thomas is of slight build. In
their struggle they moved to the other
end of the office when Mr. Thomas pick
ed up an iron cup from the stove and
was dealing his opponent energetic blows
on the face with it when others came in
and separated them. Col. Lipscomb
retired much battered and his face cover
ed with blood. Mr. Thomas was unhurt.
The attack on Mr. Thomas has caused
much comment unfavorable to Secretary.
Lipscomb. The germ of his action was
the discussion several months ago about
the Secretary's discharge of a clerk with
out cause. Mr. Thomas's friend had
furnished the facts ' for publication, and
Mr. Thomas had joiued in presenting a
testimonial to the gentleman discharged.
Secretary Lipscomb strongly resented
both actions and- has never forgiven
them." Mr. Thomas is a son of Col.
J. P. Thomas of the Citidel Academy. '
A somewhat spicy sequel to the obove
occurred on Sunday. IL.appears that
Mr. X. G. Gonzales, the correspondent
of the News and Ccurter, was the iriend
of Mr. Thomas alluded to in the above
controversey against whom the ire of
Col. Lipscomb was chiefiy directed. It
leaked out in Columbia that Mr.
Gonzales had made up his mind to go
down to the State House and inform
Col. Lipscomb that he told uan infamous
falsehood" and knew that he was telling
it. Gov. Thompson hearing of this
promptly had Mr. Gonzales put uuder a
peace bond which probably has averted
a very serious if not fatal encounter.
A Desperate Snake Fleht
The Greenville News has gone into
the snake story business. Read the fol
lowing from its columns: 1'On Sunday
last, John T. McDaniel, who lives about
two miles from this city, on the Augusta
road, heard a peculiar noise proceeding
from a hollow . tree near his house.
Upon looking in that direction he saw a
rattlesnake's pilot encircled by a king
snake. The rattlesnake's pilot was
making desperate efforts to free himself.
Both the reptiles were well grown and of
full size, and the struggle was a remark
able one. The kiug snake did not loose
his hold, but tightened. As he did this
the bones in the rattlesnake pilot's back
seemed to crack, as a sound like this
was heard as the two snakes struggled.
The king snake did not have an easy
task, as his opponent was larger. The
rattlesnake pilot bit the king snake sev
eral times, but he did not regard this,
except to "tighten up" a little. The
snakes fought for about one hour. Fin
ally the rattlesnake pilot succumbed to
the pressure and died slowly. The king
would elevate his head now and then
and glance at his opponent as if examin
ing his condition. When the "pilot"
had ex pired the king quietly began the
process of swallowing him, thus saving
funeral expenses. The* king had worked
bard for his supper aud had a good ap
petite, for the "pilot" soon disappeared.
The constrictor had conquered the poi
sonous fangs and retired on his honors
crawling up the hollow in the tree again.
Water was thrown on the snakes to
separate them but the king meant busi
ness and did not stop a moment.
A Connecticut Mystery.
The authorities of Stratford, Conn.,
are earnestly engaged in the investiga
tion of one of those murder mysteries in
which that State may be said to abound
?the death of Mrs. Rose Ambier, whose
bruised body, with the clothes half torn
off and bearing many marks of a conflict
between the "victim and her murderer,
was found lying near a garden wall m a
lonely place near the village. A colored
man?Bostou White?was arrested on
suspicion of having committed the mur
der, but a severe examination failed to
connect him with it. Suspicion next
fastened upon N. S. Ambler, the dead
woman's divorced husband, but he has
pretty successfully met it by proof that
he was at another place at the time the
murder was committed. One witness
testifies to having seen a large, tall man
waiting on a little bridge where the un
fortunate womau was to pass, a short
time before the murder was probably
committed, and another testifies to hav
ing seen her and a large, tall man walk
ing together shortly afterward; but there
is no clew to show who this mysterious
person was. The authorities are baffled.
They have followed up every clew dis
covered, but the tragedy remains as dark
and mysterious as the murder of Mary
Stannard, whose body was 1'ound in the
same neighborhood five years age, or
that of pretty Jennie Cramer, whose
body was found in the water at Xew
Haven two years 'iater.
Convicted. -Thomas L. Shields
who killed JV.mes G. Sitton, of Due
West, Abbeville, in Mecklenburg coun
ty, N.C .. has been convicted and sen
tenced to be hanged. Shields was a
Republican and ex Revenue officer and
claimed that Sitton had ruined his sister.,
Sittou'8 friends denied this, and claimed
that the story of seduction was concocted
because he was a witness anainst Shields
in a revenue case, and the latter desired
to get rid of him. The jury apparently
believed this from the evidence.
A negro womr.n who was hung in
Virginia last week for causing the mur
der of her husband, indulged upon the
gallows in the usual prattlo upon such
occasions about "going home to glory."
whereupon the Augusta Constitutionalist
remarks: "The disgusting report of the
hanging of a negro murderess in Virginia
is another argument against public
executions. The Christian religion is
disgraced by such a travesty, aud evil
minded persons are encouraged to "go
to Jesus" via the scaffold. Let the
mouths ofali such blaspheming wretches
be shut."
On the ground that consistency is a
precious gem we recommend those lie
publicau journals that :ire engaged in
mouthing over the acquittal of the ex
bandit, Frank James, by what they are
pleased to call a "Democratic jury in a
Democratic State." to read up the ac
quittal of Dukes in Pennsylvania, Stokes
in Xew 1'ork, the Republican acquittal
of the horror-makers of Tweksbury. and
a few more scores of similar "judicial"
results in the cultured precincts where
Republicans rule.
A fearful gale lately prevailed over
Lake Michigan. The most ancient mar
iners report that it surpassed anything
within their knowledge. Fishermen's
houses have been swept away bv the
waves and dashed over the breakwater.
Much apprehension is entertained for
the safety of crafts. Nearly 1000 feet
of the Chicago and Northeastern Rail
road have been washed out, causing a
freight blockado. Other damage is re
ported and great anxiety is ielt by those
living within the sweep of the.storm,

ties in the Lipscomb-Thomas-Gouzales
embroglio and thus preventing further
trouble is highbly commendatory. Had
the Governor of Georgia acted with equal
judgment and decision in the Cox
Allslon affair which occurred at the
Capital of that State several years ago
the life of the gallant Allston might have
been spared. Gov. Thompson did not
wait for somebody to be hurt before he
interfered, but he took the matter in
band in time and thus prevented trouble,
which was right.
