The purpose of the town council to increase the water supply for the town is thoughtful and at the opportune timne. Besides the well in front of ~the Courthouse, three more are to be dug.

The elopement of Miss Rachell Da vid, a young Jewess, with H. A. Hart a gentile, and their marriage by Gov ernor Riohardson on Tuesday of last week created a sensation, for a time in the society of Columbia. The pa renta of the young lady take the mat ter very bitterly, and have in accord ance with the Jewish custom of con sidering one dead, who marries a Gen tile, draped in mourning the roon and bed lately occupied by the runa way daughter, and say they conside: There is no living man loved more at the South than Jeff Davis, the ex chieftain of the dead Confederacy and there is no mon despised more thor oughly at the orth, than he. For tbis reason let him stay in peace at his home, Beauvoir, Mississippi, where he will be comparatively free from the attacks of his enemies, enjoying the veneration and love of the whole South. Our homage is the pure devotion of the heart, not to be expressed in pub lic ovations, and too sacred to be man ifested this way. Our old hero is the livi g head and representative of the Southern Cause in the Civil War. In this character he is watched with a jealous eye by the North, and every public demonstration in his honor, bares his defeneeleas head to the at tacks of his enemies, the severe and abusive criticisms of tL greater part of the Northern press. Bring him in to public notice and he necessarily revives those bitter issues fast dying out, and the surest way to defeat the President in the next election, is to associate him with Jeff Davis in his tour through the South. Rebellion and indifference to the knowledge of this fact will only be the worse for us. At his home we can love Jeff Davis, and at his home we ean honor him, and honoring and loving him at his home, can do no harm but is best in the present political condition of the country.

Johnson, a young druggist of our town, attempted to cowhide the Rev. E. G- Prince, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, on Main Street to-day. It seems that it had reached Mr. Johnson's ears that the Rev Mr. Prince had made some slanderous re marks in a letter to a young lady in Reids ville, N. C., in regard to Mr. Johnson's sister. Mr. Johnson demanded a retraction, which was refused. Mr. Prince to-day came to town to take the north-bound train for Reidsville. On his way to the depot he was met by Mr. Johnson with a cowhide. A few blows were struck when friends interfered. The occurrence is deeply deplored by our citizens. Mr. Prince boarded the train this afternoon for Reidsville, where he expects to-morrow to marry the young lady to whom he wrote the letter that caused the trouble. p Tribute of Respect. [From the Watchman and hvuthron.] The following resolutions were adoped by the Mt.Zion Literary Society on the death of Mr. Edward W. Cooper: Whereas, after a brief illness Mr. Edward W. Cooper has been taken from us in the providence of God; therefore be it resolved, 1st. That we deeply mourn his death since through it we have lost a dear friend and the Society and State a young man of a noble and lovable character, and when we recall his untiring fidelity and devotion to Society, his constant watchfulness and labor1 for its good, and his high example, we feel a deep consciousness of the loss it has sustained. 2nd. That we extend to his family our heartfelt sympathy in their sad bereavment, but would comfort them with the thought that, though cut off on the verge of manhood, yet in his short life he did his duty inevery thingasanoble man and a faithful Chris 3rd. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to his A -.aily and also that theyibe pub lished in the Watchman and Southron. TWO INCHES OF MISSTATED~ FAGTSAND FOUR INCHES OF EGOTISTICAL PRAT TLE, MAKING TOGETH ER SIX EINCHES OF NONSENSE. Comptroller-General Stoney paid a visit to our town last Saturday, the object of which was to correct the errors in the ex-Auditor's and Treasurer's offices, and get things generally in both the Treasur er's and Auditor's offices in shape, in order that the County Tr asurer might effect his annual settlement. We are proud to know that General Stoney found the pres ent Auditor's books in proper condition, but regret that the books, vouchers, and other papers of both Treasurer and ex-Auditor, were by him found to have been badly kept and in such a confused condition as to pre vent the usual annual settlement. We have made an investigation ourselves, and find such to be the case, as the records show. Gen, Stoney ordered the ex-Auditor's books sent by express to Columbia, that his expert might investigate and prove them, an d as soon as this is done we presume a settlement will be made. After a long period in which to ponder upon our remarks of last winter in regard to the bad "book-keeping in the Court house," our neighbor, the Thmes, condescends to come out in a leader under tne caption, "Bad Book-keeping the Cause of the Confusion."~ Holy Mother of Moses ! Did we ever dream that our always correct (?) contemporary would "cave in" at the opportune moment, and pour blue ruin upon the unfortunate bad book-keeper, and that, too, after calling us a "blockhead" because we didn't "see through a glass darkly," as its editor did ? We were then in posession of almost as much information as we now have in regard to the "bad book-keeping" in question, but con cluded that time would tell the tale, and that our esteemed contemporary would hang itself as soon as it got enough rope. We have not been disappointed. as its leader of' yesterday has done the work. We could at this writing give our readers considerable information in regard to the matter in question-not from "rumors" but fromi the books of record-but as the matter is under investigation by the proper tribun al we do not propose ito anticipate its action in any shape or form, and will simply await further developments. We promise our readers to keep them posted--correctly post ed-and they may depent upon it that The Zd er-prise will "hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may." We have no a'ce to grind. We are intluenced by no party, sect or creed. We are simply actuated by Dem ocratic principles, and shell see to it that justice is done though the heavens fall," and that that justice be tempered with love and mery.-Ederprise.
