VERY MYSTERIOUS KILLING. 1!o*h I t Found iVa I ami Her CoU’Ih 'Irll* rt M r;iit£4 Story* Columbia, S. 0 , Dec. l. —A crime that has shocked the eojnnmnity by its atrociousuess and mystified the c.Ulcers because of lack of motive was committed on Dr. Hamilton Cooper’s plantation, in Sumter county, Rosa Joseph and Anna Isaac, first cousins, aged respectively 11! and 14, were sleeping in a house by themselves, the building adjoining that occupied by Rosa’s mother. Anna says she was awakened by hear ing a rapping on the side of the house; t iat she got up and made a light which tevealed a man in the room who was approaching her cousin. Anna ran out • •f the house and awaking her Aunt n ’vt door told her something was wrong. A p trfy, headed by the girl, returned to me nouse, with lights, ami were met by the sight of Rosa lying on the floor wel tering in blood, her head being split open and almost severed from the body. A bioc-dy ax was lying on the girl’s body. The neighborhood was aroused and search for ilie perportrator of the mine was begun, but no duo was found. There was no evidence of the house having been broken open or en tered by any one. Finally it was developed that the two girls had had frequent quarrels of late, Anna appearing jealous at partiality shown her cousin by her aunt. It was supposed that when in the room to gether, the quarrelling had been re newed, and that the elder girl in a fit of rage had buried the ax m the head of her cousin and tlieu manufactured the Btorv. On the strength of tliis snspieion Anna has been anested and Itx'ked up in Sum ter jail to await the coroner's inquest. I’l-ofcssor lioHtiregaril ISojij! Ilcail. Charleston, Dec.

To the Editor of the News and Courier: —On December Kith an i lec tion will be held in parts of Colleton and llorkly counties, that will decide the fate ol the proposed new county of Dorchester. As this is a question of vital inpor- tuuce, especially to the citizens of Summerville, and ns there are prob ably those who have given the matter little thought, or who may have been misled into believing that the many advantages to be derived from the success of this movement can only be had at;the cost of much higher taxation, I would like to call atten tion to a few facts and figures for the benefit of those interested: For many years past it lias been the dream of our people to cut loose from the two enormous counties of Berkeley and Colleton, embracing together a territory twice the size of the State of Rhode Island, and to form a compact county, of moderate size, without an overwhelming col ored population and all its attend-; ant drawbacks and demoralizing in- : fluencos. Dorchester county, if created, will always be controlled by white iner. j without the necessity for frauduleLt j elections. It will contain something over 'MO square miles and about 11.- (liiO inhabitants, n largo proportion of whom are white. The property is assessed at two million dollars in round numbers. Throughout the length of the county extends the South Carolina and Georgia Railroad, at no paint far distant from the county limit.-. Across tlie county runs the Charles ton, Sumter and Northern Railroad. Along these roads are a number of prosperous towns, Summerville. Si. Gaffney Will Endeavor to Do Her jFull Duty. Some | coplo have said that there would 1 ; n heavy expense on the tax- paynv l y the furnishing of the vari ous county ofTiccs with books, Mu- tioiury, chairs, desks, etc. Yester day a bond was given that incase the new county carried that Gaffney would furnish nil these without cost to the county. In other words, it is proposed that the establishment of this new county shall not cost the taxpayers one cent if the court house is located at Gaffney. George’s, Ridgeville, Reeve’s, ilur- leyvillc and several others; the two first being the prominent candidates for county seatship. The town of Summerville alone paid into the treasuries of Berkeley and Colleton last year fur State and county taxes the enormous sum of .'i'S,2 < .)2, and we may well ask to what extent has the town benefited by lids tremendous outlay? The same amount judiciously ex pended in the snug little county of Dorchester, under the eyes of the tax-payers, would go a iong way to wards giving us first-rate public and number one county roads. The saving of expense in maintain ing the public highways, in provid ing for paupers and in conducting prisoners across the county and othes expenses will aggregate a very large amount in the course of the year. Indeed, under a wise and economi cal county government there is no reason why the present heavy bur den of taxation should not be light ened rather than increased, and the people will have this satisfaction of seeing their money expended close it hand and in building up a county of which they w Hi feel justly proud. If anyone feels any doubt as to the necessity for a new county let him take the trip from Summerville to Walterboro, a distance of forty miles of sandy road, on a July day, with the mercury at f)0 degrees in the shade, and return, after spending a week or more in attendance on court, or, if he prefers, let him undergo th" same experience over in Berkeley, and if he is not convinced his pow ers of endurance must lie greater than those of the average human being. An effort is being made in certain quarters to prejudice people against the movement by stating that tin- cost of putting up new county build ings will necessitate heavy additional taxation. In the fir.at place, it is more than likely that the towns competing for the county seat will make liberal offers of aid, which will materially reduce the expense of county buildings but even should this not be the case a tax of one mill for four years would cover the whole muster, Berkeley county lias re cently put up a brick court house on a tax of l.j mills for two years. S-> the court bouse bugbear need scare off in voles. Our people have na turally been so much disgusted with the manner in which elections have been conducted in the past few years that they have become (lukewarm in the matter of voting. Under the new law there is no need or opp< r- tunity for fraud. Let every one, then, who lias the welfare of Sum merville at heart, and who wishes to have a share in the^ formation of the banner county of the low country, who is in favor of good schools, go -<! roads and honest and economical county government, with a county seat in easy reach of everyone, turn out on December loth and cast hi- Imllot Mr Dorchester coitnty and Summerville as the countv seat. I’kour Summerville, November 21. LSIMi. —\Ye want to call special attention this week to the advertisement of Messrs. Wilkins Bros.

Will Back His Judgment. Gai eney, 8. C.. Nov. 21. Col. T. L. (I \sty, Editor Headlight: Dear Sir: Your varacity I can not impugn. But I must, and do, challenge the correctness of your statement in the Headlight that the people within the confines of our I iMposed new county, Limestone, are opposed to it. Your lack of familiar ity with the facts, owing in large measure to your remoteness from us has caused you to bo misled by over zealous and misguided opponents of the scheme. Were you in our midst and acquainted with the fact and circumstances, and had a knowledge of the intelligence and progressive spirit of our people, as we have, you would, as we do, realize that the formation of the new county is a necessity and that it will be adopted i>y an overwhelming vote on Decom ber 8th. Of this there is not and j cannot be a vestige of a doubt. Tho-x* who know me are aware that 1 am not given to boasting, ex- g.xfill ion or blutiing. But in order that there may be no mistake in re- gurd to the matter, 1 will bet $1000 to . t O 11, open to the world, that the new <• ninty will be established. For every dollar put up by the opponents of the scheme I will go “two better.” This proposition to remain in force till the day of the election. But 1 will say right here that 1 find no fault with you or anyone else | for opposing the new county. You have the same right to iip- 1 pos. it as we have to. advocate it. We are all freemen in a free country, and freedom of speech and freedom of the press are the bulwarks of iibtriy. And 1 state in this con nection what i have asserted else where, that while you have struck from the shoulder you have not hit Indovv the lielt. You have proven to he an honorable adversary and we experience " I’iii ii.-rcr joy which warriors feel ETTA JANE ETCHINGS. GENERAL CONGLOMERATION her life truly saved. <)• Uinn worthy of their steel. ' For my own part I am glad that a man of your universally recognized superior ability with the pen have ■ on proper to espouse the other side, for the reason that I, in common with our people generally, have de sired light on the subject and since hearing your arguments I am more thoroughly convinced than ever thnt the m.>v county should be and wii! he formed since the reasoning of - : !i an able man as you arc have net overturned a single one of the di'.xrs weighty arguments in favor of it. But you have handled the matter '.\itii great skill and adroitness. It shows what a smart man can make out of a bad ease. The election will be held and the j new e unity established on Dec. 8th.

Miss Branch Whisonant is still suf fering greatly from the burn she re ceived last week. The Indies of Wilson’s chapel have organized a Ltnperance union. Mrs. R. B. Eamaster is president. Miss Arnlona Miller vice president and Miss i’earl Whisonant Secretary. Other officers will be named later. This is a good move on the part of our ladies and wc wish them God speed in suppressing the immoral ; use of intoxicating liquors. When the ladies take hold of a good work it is a guarantee that it will be a success. Miss Mamie Lindsay, of McCon- nellsvillc, has begun school at tliis place. • Yesterday, in studying the Sunday school lesson, the teacher asked one of the class: “How far did the <2ueen of Sheba go to see Solomon?” i “Fifteen thousand miles,” he an swered promptly, When he caught the Hash of her eye he discovered his mistake and said: “Oh, I was think ing of the new court house and jail.” !Ic is a new county man, of course. Sam Strain is of opinion that the authorities ought to put up a station ary lamp for the convenience of trav elers crossing the Thompson mill bridge after night. Desperate efforts are being made by both parties to the now county fight which comes to a close on Dec. 8. Not a stone will be left unturned by i the contestants. Wo have had some fine weather for wheat sowing and most of our fann ers have made good use of it, but it is all over with now. We bad the pleasure of visiting 1 (laffney C'ity last week and meeting ! with quite a number of our old ac quaintances and making some new ones. To one who makes only an occa sional visit to Gaffney the improve ments in the town are quite apparent. In passing through the coaling •.'round station I thought of my good friend Flaw Bicker and hoped to meet with him. But to my still greater gratification, I.learn from The Led ger that he was down about Ra venna, lighting for the new county with all ins might. He will doubt less find flaws enough to write about for a long time after the election if he confines himself to that section. I am very glad that those anti-new county men are now enjoying his at- | lention—perhaps he will let the poor i women, fashions, etc., alone until i | this new county issue is settled. ; I It is to be hoped he will, at least. I have in my possession an old | English copper coin, dated 172L It . was found by my friend, J. R. Boole, j I Esq., of Hunnyside on Ids plantation ! a few days ago. On one side it lias ! i the words “George III, Rex;” on the other, “Brittania,” with some other designs too illegible to make out. The new county meeting at Wil kinsville last Friday was a very quiet and orderly one, only three speakers being present. Hon. Wm. Jeffries and Mr. Ed. H. DeCamp, in favor of trie new county and Mr. Jos. L. j Walker in opposition. All the argu ments, both for and against the new county, were liightoned and were presented in the most reasonable light, while the best of feeling pre- i vuMed between the speakers and the i people present. Owing to a misun- | : derstanding as to the day not so , many were present as would have otherwise attended. We hud a very interesting debate j at the school house on .Saturday night. The subject was: “Resolved, | That Tobacco is a Nuisance,” Scv- I (ral speeches were made on both sides, but the affirmative curried tri umphantly. One speaker said that when lie got out of tobacco he would whip his wife and knock his children about cruelly. Another said that if his wife used tobacco lie would not sleep with her; or, if be di-l, ho j would turn his head to the other end of the bed. I never heard tobacco get such a pounding in all my life. Mr and Mrs. J. T. Uigiiam, of Sharon, visited friends and relatives in this neighborhood last week.
