Soruggs left Pickens courthouse, proceeding In the direction of the up per pert of the county In search for Lewis R. Redmond, the outlaw.

The two deputies first named ap proached the house of Ladd, leaving the others somewhat In the roar to keep a lookout. As Kane and Dur ham neared the house they observed Ladd standing In tbe door armed to the Ua:,h and ready to shoot. Instant ly he pulled trigger at tbe revenue of ficer, but his gun only snapped.

A man of very ordinary attainments, where this element is largely in tbe ascendant, will outshine great learn log connected with clownish manners. But what Is true politeness? This question we think Is often miscompre hended. It is not to ape tbe gentle man in low bowe and unmeaning scrapes. Boms animals far excel man In this respect without any attempt at thisvirtue t True politeness In our opinion consists In rendering oneself agreeable by making everyone In the company happy. The art cannot be artificially acquired. It must flow spontaneously from a truly benevu* lent mind. Mtate Democratic Coaveatloa. Headqu’s State Dem. Ex. Com. 1 Columbia, 8.
