There has been a rumor afioat to the effect that the Catawba Power people are going to let the water out of their Neely's ferry dam next month. The reason given is that the bed of the pond is filling up with mud, and ;t is thought that the letting off of the water will wash a considerable quantity of the mud away. Inquiry of the authorities, however develops that there is no foundation for the rumor. This information is calculated to spoil some pleasant anticipations, as many people have been under the impression that the letting off of this water would furnish some great fishing, at least for a few days. _TV,o^ ? ?11 -J a nv^i c naa ix CtllICU of Bethel Presbytery in the First Presbyterian church of Yorkville yesterday for the purpose of dissolving the pastoral relations between Rev.

Full particulars as to now he came to his death are unobtainable up-to-date. A number of reports are current. The latest is to the effect that he went to the house of a negro to foreclose a mortgage that some one had on a hog and a pistol of the negroes, and that he secured the hog and then asked for the pistol and was told that that it was in the other end of the house, where another family was, and that Thomason r>rn ceeded in there and when he entered the wife of the negro, Jeff Murphy, who did the kill- i ing, remonstrated with him and asked them not to bother their affairs, and that Thoasonm knocked her down, whtreupon her husband shot Thomason, killing him almost instantly. Jeff Murphy, the negro who did the killing, evidently thought ] he was not in much danger of of the law, as he hitched up his horse to his buggy and taking his wife in the same went to Winnsboro and gave himself up to the sheriff, the killing occur- j ring in that county. i mtf are" no^w in. kVe have the prettiest ^Bl *nd best line that has sver hit Fort Mill.
