have about decided to erect a
email building in Confederate park,
where the speakers' eland is now
located, to be known as the Temple
of Patriotism. In the temple will
be placed the names and portraits

with literature exemplifying
their deeds. Such names tis Emily

Revolution, together with those of

Arrested in Charlotte for Assault.
Mr. James lb upland is a tenant
on the plantation of Mr. L. S.
Nivens in this township. Saturday
morning he drove to Charlotte and
intended to return home that night.
Before leaving the city, however,
lie became intoxicated and at the
AtllPrloii mill '?> liio ?? .?? I........
... Wit it 1(1 Cl> IH'llir,
m>t into a difficulty wi111 an operative'
named Cook, upon whose lu-ad
he used the hutt end of ?r bujrjxy
whip rather freely. Cook's head
was considerably damaged as a resuit
of the blows, the scalp beino
severely lacerated in several places.
The doctors who weie called to
dress CVok's wounds thought at
first that his skull was fractured,
but further investi^ati >n proved
that his wounds were not so serious
as that. Headland was nnested
immediately after theditlieulty and
locked up at the Charlotte ^uard
house, where lie spent Saturday
niixht, Sunday and Sunday ni?*ht.
Monnny morning he was given a
preliminary hearing, the cost of
which amounted to ?d bo. In default
of bail, he was sent tc jail to
await the action of the grand jury,
the charge against him being assault.
Monday afternoon Mr. Nivens
went to Charlotte in lloagland's
interest, and lie was t<>hl by an
official at the jail that lloegland
would be liberated upon the payment
of the cost incident to the
preliminary hearing. Mr. Nivens
paid tin- $d.hf> and Hongland was
released. Of enurso the jail otlieial

ho did, lml his em r ended I longhaul's

The Lccal Military Inspected.
Satniday afternoon Cant. \V. \V
Lewis came over front Vorkville
to inspect, the Fort Mill Light Infantry.
The hour appointed for
the inspection was .'5 o'clock, hut a
number of members of the company
found it impossible to be present
at that time and the inspection
was consequently delayed somewhat.
At I o'clock, however, the
company, -Id strong, marched from
the armory to the baseball grounds,
where tlio inspection began at
once. After inspecting the gun of
each num. (.'apt. Lewis ordered
the company to be drilled in the
manual of arms, which was done in
a way that must have been satisfaci
tory to hi in. Next caino the field
movements; but it can not be said
that tin; company acquitted itself
as well in executing ' ho movements
as it. did in the manual of arms
the result of an inadvertent command,
which the campany ha 1 not
previously executed, boiii" ^iven
by Capt. Bradford, ('apt. Lewis
declined to state in advance of his
report to the adjutant general's
ofliee whether the inspection was
I satisfactorily passed. Since the
inspection, which was at least disappointing
to the members of the
company, there has been some talk
; of requesting Gen. Floyd to have
the company inspected a^ain dur'
iiik the Christ mas holidays. Should
such a request be made and acquiesced
in, it is hoped that ('apt.
Lewis will a^ain bo the inspecting
officer, ns the members of the company
are anxious to show him that
they are moro conversant with the
field movements than Saturday's
inspection indicated.
Crushed to Death by a Locomotive.
A Itock Ilill special to Tin; State
says that a terrible accident oe
curred at Catawba Junction at 1.150
o'clock Saturday afternoon. Mr.
Krnest L. Adanih, a popular young
railroad man, was instantly killed
by the online of his train while
shifting. He was standing upon
the pilot preparing to make a coupling,
when by some moans he
H ipped and fell upon the rail. Tho
pony trucks ami drivers passed
Y
over liint. The engine was 111?.>vi11'
very slow Iv and in an instant was
slopped and Ilit* terribly mangli d
remains of all that was mortal of ,
the young man was drawn from
beneath. The face was mutinied (
beyond recognition.
Magistrate Beckham was noti- ,
tied and as acting coroner he gntliercd
a number of Hock Hill citizens
and with Dr. T. A. Crawford,
a cousin of young Adams, boarded
a special train and went to Catawba
Junction to hold an inquest.
A jury was empaneled and found
a verdict in accordance with the
fi ingoing.
The e; se is a peculiarly sad one.
Only two weeks ago Mr. Adams. I

health, was married in Hock Mill

Tlie Star of ilie West."
A souvenir to which e.^porial in- i
tero. t attaches ami one that is
prizt d very highly l>y its owner,
was received a few days ago by
('apt. S. F. White from Maj. John
(J. Poiiulexter, of Canton, Miss
The souvenir is small brass staple
that was pulh d from the hull
of the "Star of the Wett in IsTii.
('apt. White will doubtless have a
jeweler mount it in n suitable ease
arid some day present it to his little
grandson. Klliott Springs, as a memento
of the gallant deeds performed
by South Caroliniai s on
their native soil from l^dl to lstlo.
Accompanying tho staple was a
short sketch of "The Star of the,
West," by Maj. Poindexter. The
sketch is rendered doubly valuable j
and interesting by reason of the
fact that only cursory menti 11 is
made in any of the historit s of I lawar
between the States of the attempt
of ties vessel to relieve Fort
rnunpter. Tin- sketch follows:
"In the early part of May, ISOl.j
Maj. Anderson, of the I . S. Army,
was surrounded on Foil Sumpter
by the Confederates, under (Jen.
(J. T. Heauregard, Thero was an
understanding hetween the Confederate
authorities and ihose at
Washington that the fort would
not l?e fired upon pending the
result of a commission that had
been sent to Washington to try to
arrange a peaceful secession of the
Southern States from tie se of tieNorth.
provided that no supplies
or men he sent to Maj. Anderson.
1 ?ut a keen-sighted guard fronione
of the land batteries discovert d
ear y one morning that a steam
ship was making her way to the
fort. The Confederate guns immediately
opened upon her. Seeing
that they had been discovered, her
captain put on all steam, turned his
ship and put to sea. A few days
afterwards the newspapers of the
North wert'1 filled with '"A Terrible
I Hit ram*. Tin* I . S. Transport
'Star of tin- West Fired < >11 while !
Peaceably (ioino Into the llarbor
of Charleston, S. Not more
than a year afterwards she was
captured at (ialveston and sent to
New Orleans and from there to
Fort Lorino, at the head of the
Yazoo river, where she was sunk to
prevent, the passage of the miuhoats
of Porter's tleet to think
Yickshurm In lbTti the staple was
taken out of her hull by the wrecking
boat .a nt to clear out the obstructions
to the free navigation of
the Yazoo River.-'
