Ne\vny Itt-niH from Other Counties Orouped Together. B. Ct. Landrum, of Campobello, la tho champion snako finder of the county. Tuesday he struck a big “garter” snake with a boo, and out of the wound there ran 74 little snakes, from two to four inches long. Mr. Landrum is careful of his reputation and had some Campobello businees men to go and count the snakes. Isaiah Davis, a Charleston negro, went to Charlotte Friday with an ex cursion party from Yorkville and having imbibed too feely of boose, sat down on some crossties and went to sleep; but it was not long until he was awakened by a locomotive knock ing him off the track, breaking his left arm, cutting a deep gash in his side and lacerating one of his feet. The facts of a most inhuman hom icide committed at the Rockypoint plantation in Shpldon township near Beaufort, have just been made- known by the coroner and the of ficial report has been forwarded to the governor. The dead body of a 5-year-old negro boy was found in his cabin, where he lived with his father, Jenkins Mickael. The body was covered with wounds completely. A post-mortem examination revealed that the boy had come to his death from starvation, and a beating in flicted by some thorned instrument. Jenkins Michael has fled and the governor has offered a reward for his capture. During last week a negro sailor named William Cornish entered the homes of several white women at Port Royal and attempted assaults upon them. On Sunday he was cap tured and placed in jail there under guard of a deputy. About midnight Sunday night the screams of a man were heard in the outskirts of the town, followed by six pistol or rifle shots in rapid succession. The next morning the deputy was found In the jail tied hand and foot and his prisoner missing. The negroes out number the. whites in Port Royal about five to one. On Monday and Tuesday mornings there were mut tered threats of negro vengeance for the disappearance of Cornish, though nothing has yet happened. In the still hours of Sunday morn ing, before the dawn bad yet begun, while Roundsman Jenkins, of Rock Hill, strolled in the vicinity of the National Union bank, his quick eye caught sight of a fat possum resting quietly iu the doorway of tbe bank. For a few moments there before the mental vision of Roundsman Jenkins the delights incident to a 'possum barbecue to which he might invite “the boys.” He nerved himself for a race, and the “stunt” was begun in earnest; presently, the barbeoue was concerned, and the little beast went back on his haunches and ex tended his paw as if in greeting a lost friend! It was discovered 1^. jr that tbe 'possum was a pet and be longs to a White street lady. E. F. McManaman, who was ar rested in Charleston Monday after noon for assaulting John H. Osten- dorfl at the Consolidated Company’s wharf, appeared before Magistrate Rouse in that city Tuesday morning to answer to the charge of assault and battery. He waived a prelimi nary examination and gave bond for his appearance at the next tefm of the General Sessions Court. As stated in The News and Courier Tuesday McManaman and Ostendortf had some dispute about money mat ters, and Ostendorfl alleged that he was assaulted without warning. He was slashed about the face with » Tj»WftwJ^e affair created much ex citement at tEe wharf" wh’W«~a*r* l PgF 1 crowd had gathered to take tbe 1 o’clock boat to the Island. At :80 o’clock Wednesday after noon, during a seVere electric storm, Henry Davenport and Ezell Harvey, two industrious farmers living three miles above Williamston, who were at work in the field took shelter from the rain under some pines, when they were struck by lightning and both killed instantly. The bodies were re moved to Mr. Davenport’s residence an hour later and Dr. Frank M. Lan der did everything possible to resus citate them, but their lives were ex tinct. Mr. Davenport was 41 years of age and leaves a wife and eight small children, tbe eldest being but 14 years of age, Mr. Harvey was 26 years of age and leaves a wife with three children, the joungest being a babe two months old. By that fatal bolt 11 children are fatherless, two wives are widows and two homes are wrecked. About six weeks ago Sam Living- ton, a ne’er do well white man, went to Mr. Williams’ home near Haile Gold Mine in Lancaster county, and went into bia lot and tried to steal bis horse from the stable, but was heard and run off. Later iu the nigh+> he came back and went into tbe lob and in several places cut tbe udder of a very fine cow. A warrant was taken out for him and Monday of last week placed into the bauds of Deputy Sheriff J. F. Hunter, who the same day found Livington at tbe home of bis tatber-ln-law, William Stroud, In Kerahaw county on Buf falo Creek, and carried him to Lan caster and lodged him in jail. He had Monday of this week appointed for a preliminary hearing before Mag istrate Caskey, and had Mr. Williams to come there for that purpose, but when the time came said he was not ready.

It is the result of a church quarrel which has been in progress several years. Tuesday morning between 3 and 4 o’clock. Henderson Hodges, color ed, who lives just over Harrington Hill, near Fayetteville, woke up and saw a man standing over him with a knife in his hand. He sprang at the burglar, but the latter was too quick for him, and leaped out of tbe same window he had entered by. Hodges says he recognized the man, and the officers have a warrant for his arrest, which, it is expected, will be made shortly. This is a capital crime, and the punishment in North Carolina is death. A marriage interesting deeply the entire community in which itoccured and a wide circle of friends elsewhere was celebrated at Wake Forest this morning at ten o’clock.

Etta Jane, July 24.—We have very often heard of people being contrary and odd, but we know of a family that breaks all records. They cook their meals in the house and take them to the kitchen to eat. Miss Wilmer McDaniel, of Hickory Grove, spent a few days on this side of the river among relatives and friends this week. There is no fruit like the old fash ioned peach, either in its flavor or in the reliability of its crop. The best fruit section we know of in the State is over in the Mount Paron neighborhood, near Blacks burg, where they have their old time fruit as well as tho improved. We are frequently asked when does dog days begin? The} began July 3rd and will end August 11. Sirius, the Dog Star, is one of the most brilliant stars in the heavens and upon it many theories and super stitions are based. The ancients ascribed the great heat of summer to this star. The Romans considered it a star of evil omen, whoso appear ance above the horizon caused the unhealthy and oppressive heat of summer. Tho ancient Egyptians called it "Sothis,” and thought its rising with the sun was a sure fore runner of the rising of the Nile. Astronomy tells us that it travels at the rate of 840 miles per minute and that it takes its light twenty-two years to reach the earth. Its dis tance is estimated to be 1,375,000 times that of the sun from us. When we considet these infinitesi mally small atoms of the creation as they appear to us in the light of sci ence we are lost in wonder at the greatness of God’s work. No wonder that the Psalmist exclaims, “When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars which Thou hast ordained; what is man that Thou art mindful of him, or the son of man that Thou visited him?” Job failea in contemplating the height of the heavens that Isaiah calls God’s throne. About forty hands met at Howell’s ferry last Saturday and pulled tho cable wire out of the river. Our in formation that Mr. W. 8. Wilker- son had charge of the ferry was too previous and we retract it. We regret to learn that our neigh bor, Mr. F. A. Goforth, has fever in his family. Some of the citizens of this unusu ally quiet neighborhood were dis turbed last Sabbath evening by tho boisterous and unmanly conduct of some parties who met at the old stand for a season of lasciviousness and drunken debauchery. Pistols and knucks were brought into action and we are told a few “bunged up” eyes and mashed noses arena exhibi tion this week. The carcass never fails to find the eagles. We have spoken and plead against this evil in our land without any material help or sympathy, except that which come in the shape of a good round “cuss ing behind our back,” and now we hope its advocates will got plenty of it. “Let er roll,” we say. Rev. S. T. Creech, pastor, will be gin a series of meetings at Mesopota mia next Sabbath evening at 8:30 o’clock, whjch will continue through next week. 1 uc™ „.1 U? invited to attend and take part io 1 them. Our people think a great deal of Mr. Creech as a man and minister and this gives us reason to believe, that much good will be done. We hope so, at least. Children’s day ex- ercises will be held in the morning. We are very sorry to learn that an important business engagement in New York city will prevent Hon. Stanyarne Wilson from being present to deliver an address to the Ladies Memorial Association at Salem on Thursday, August 1st. Mr. Wilson regrets this very much himself, but matters over which he has no con trol and duty to his clients makes it necessary that he forego the pleas ure he would have in meeting with our people on just such an occasion. Mr. Wilson is a most excellent speak* er and, besides, ho has a host of friends in this section who were look* Ing forward to the occasion with great pleasure, to whom this an nouncement will be a sad disappoint ment.
