WINNSBORO, t 0. Tuesday, May 14, 1878. A. MEANS DA VIS, EDITOR. JN0 S. REYNOLDS, ASmOCIATG EDITOR, THE TENTH of May was observed n many places as Memorial Day. The services wore very impressivo. JUDGE Boxn, in the United Stites Court, has decided that York . county must pay the railroad bonds. THE METHODISTS and Baptists and Episcopalians have boon holding their annual meetings. Tho Epis - copal diocese of this State has adopted a canon preventing women from voting in church meetings. THE HOUSE oF iol)resontatives, in Washington, was the scene of a disgraceful squabble on Friday over the question whether the Federal government was responsible for the treatment of prisoners at Ander sonville. Of course it was ; but that is no excuso for making a beer garden of Congress. THE APPARENr backing down of Russia has heretofore seemed in explicable. But now it has leaked out that the Bogtun of Bhopal has offered her entire force of live thousand nako:l Sopoys to Great Britain. The Czar could not face a Begum, and especially the Begum of Bhopal, so ho has incontinently taken water. GEN. E. P. ALExANDER has been elected president of the Georgia Railroad, over Judge King, the incumbent for thirty-six years, after a most exciting contest. General Alexander is but forty-three years of age, but has mn:'lo his mark. A native of Georgia, he graduated with high honors at West Point. He-was in command of the post at Puget Sound when the war broke out, but hastened home and entered the Confederate service. By con tinued promotions he becamo chief of artillery of Lee's army. After the war he served with great credit as professor of mathematics in th e P South Carolina University, but' abandoned his chair when it fell into Radical hands. iouco then he has been engaged in railroading, ' being aLt the time of his recent election, the president of the Western Railrold, of Alabama. General Alexander is a bro.ther-inm - law of Judge Haskell and of the Bev. WV. E. Boggs, formerly of this place. His prospierity is gratifying aliko to his old comuraides in arms and to the students whom hie led through the labyrinths of~ Descriptive Geometry, Conic See S tions and Calculus. Postpone the Convention. Some members of the Democratic Sparty are anxious to have a State Convention called at an early date. ~. We are opposed to this for several reasons. In the first place, thoe campaign of 18T0, begioning in SAugust, was long enough. The nor vous pitch to which p)eople had been Sbrought could not have been main tained for a longer time, from sheer Kphysical exhaustion. A campaign ~$beginning in May or June wvould bo ruinous. The people need all the time they can got to devote to their ~crops. They are not ready for political work until laying-by time. In the second place the people have, 4ot had time to decide upon their standard bearers. While the re nomination of the whole State ticket, we are pleased to see, is 9 nost probable, still something may rnup later in tho year requiring 41podocification of thme present policy, .gaip,. the Congressional nomaina onsare generally made wvhen the SBtate Convention meets, and no che~ is reasly yet to miake theum. , Xr.cover, th~o party needs some Ye rlig before being put into the '~~.All these objoetions counter ~ ~an'co any good that might ar ise man immediate call for a cona ti~on, During the summer the bAry can go on por fecting its zniation and sifting its local ~tdates, so that wvhen the State ey#ntion narnes the standar d at the party can take the tIeld 8OU2'I OAROLINA WB. There are now one hundred and fifteen penitentiary convicts at work on the Greenwood and Augusta railroad Memorial Day was appropriately observe:l in all the towns and cities of the State whero Confederate sol diers are buried. The Democratic clubs all ovor the Stato aro rapidly perfecting their reorg-mniz itionil. 'Th.ey all heartily enlorse Guvernor atm.inpton and his administration. The Court of Claims, Ju:1ge Ald rich presiding, after transacting some business of minor importance lies adjourned till the second day of July, unless sooner convened by the president. 0 Tho cases brought by holders of the coupons of the York county riilroad -bonds, in the United States Circnit. Court at Charleston, have all be'n decided in favor of the bond holders. Miss Annie Hampton, only daugh ter of Col. Christopher Hanpton, and a niece of the Governor, died in Mississippi last week, and her remains were interrod in the Epis copal cometry at Columbia. Anthony McKay, a negro. was hung last week at Darlington for the murder of S. Sug gs, co1mmitted ten years ego. The condemned man declared his innocenceo to the last. iThe mnilit u y spirit seems 'a be dying (:ut in ('obsimbia. At the parade 1st woek, the Richland Rifles had onlv twenty-six nmon in ranks, the Governor's Gaar<is twenty, and other compalnies still less. The Act of the Legislature mak ing arson a c t1,ital offence does not go into effect until the 27th inst. six'y d ys from its passa.ee. So s-:ys the Columbia Straightout Jk im ocrat. Je-ff David, the negro who mur dered Mr. Frankl:n ail his sister, t wo g;dl peop'c living in Abboville c(llnn y, some00 time back, was con victed at the ror("nt term of the cir enit court for Abbeville county, and is to be hung on Friday next. The whe tt pr.spnct in Chester county is generally unpromising, tha c: op being seriously daimnaged by the execssive quantity of rain in L.nucrv and Febrn try, followed by tihe dry weather in March and a portion of April. Mrs. Jennings, a respectable old la dy, was miurderedl lst week in the low or part of Riehland minty, near the Oratngel"urg line, by her fiftedn-yenr old son, \ !.o is believed to be in sane. The youth was brought to Columbia and lodged in jail. On MonridOV hofore 1 -qt the barn rind st.ables of Mr. RI. HI INely, in Chester county, togetheir with h is foddor and hay. wvere destroyed by fire, evidently fbo work of an' ineen r1iary Six v'unaiblo mnles were burned, some of thenm fatally ; the others so na to be unable to work for some time. The Dioesan Convention of the Eniscopal church was in Reosionl at Charleston last week. Among the business done was the adoption of n rer-o!ntion (declarving thart n3one but male adults shall voto at chureb) meetings. There were but two votes in the negative--thoso of Messrs. Charles S. Dwight and RI. S. Despiortes, of Fiiioeld. Ex-.Judgo Samnel WV. Molton received a (1isp1teh from WVashing ton h'st wveek whch convoved the intelligeneo t hat tihe proseentions of citizens of- South C-trolinia, who hapd been ch irgedi with "Kn -Klux O:1.rag<sa,"' had been nol. pros'r', anud that the prison.ors con fined in the Al bo y penitentiary had been pardoned hy the President. Nod Braswvell. n some.what noted negro in Abbeville county, was crushed to death while wvalling up Hliramn Cromer's wvell last week. Ned was (down in the well at work and was being helped in the work by a couple of careless negroes, who managed the windlass. By some m ism nnagomen t the bucket, well loaded wit h rockc, fell from the mouth of the wvell, and before its fearful descent could be checked, fell upon the head of the negro, crushing his sknll and' producing such Severe iijnries that ho0 died in a littlo whilo in groat agony. A fatal accidlent occurred at the sr,w mill of Mr. L. Rlied Watson, in Andet son county, last week, result ing in the death of Mr. WVilliamr Alexandsr, who had been employed to assist in running the mill. M~r. Alexander was bearing off plank from tihe saw, wvhen one aceidentaill~ stru'ek it, which throw him in froni of it, and hofore he was able to re. cover and rescue himself, ho had one of his legs cut off, with the. excep tion of flesh, and the other badl~ broke.n. Medical aid wais immedi. ata nnfo i I pose as-he died very ~shortly; after 'the most intense suffering. A mass meeting wafs bold in Charleston on Friday night, to pro test against the Acts recently passed by the Legislature, giving to certain corporations the exclusive right to dig phosphates in certain rivers in the State. Addresses were deliv ered by Maj. G. Lamb Buist, of I Charleston, Col. L. IV. Youmans, It of Barnwell, and others. Resolu tions expressing the views of the neetint were :adopto, and a coin tittee of ten w t pinted to me morializo the Legislature, at its next session, to repeal the Acts in question, and leave the rivers free to be dug into for phosphates by all who may desire. MOTHIER AND CHILD. The Rev. Joseph Cook narrated the following incidents recently in the course of a sormon on the influence of parents on their chil dren : There is a mother at a window. Suddenly she sees at another win dow the sash fall upon the fingers of her own infant. Three fingers drop. Three stumps are left. They bleed before her. She cannot assist the child. I am telling a story out of Dr. Carpenter (Physi ology, sec. 724), and not out of the newspapers. A surgeon is called in ; he attends to the infant ; binds up its wounds, and then turns to the mother, who sits moaning and complaining of a pain in her fingers. Within twenty-four hours three of her fingers, corresponding to those cut off from the hand of the infant begin to swell, become inflamed, and need to be lanced. They go through the whole process of wou nds, although perfectly unhurt, except by imagination. Are we fearfully and wonderfully made? But that infant was farther off from its mother than it once was. Here is a carpenter in a peasant's house ; he is set .upon. by a soldier. I tell this story out of Von Ammon. ("D'e Ersten Mutterphlichten und die Este Kindespflego." See also Carpenter, sec. 723.) The mother's babe lies in the crad!c ptlying dur ing the fight.. It understands nothing of the fracas ; laughs, crows, while its father is inc the peril of death The mother at first stands petrified with' terror. At last she rushes between the com., b.ltants, seizes the sword of the soldier, breaks it in pieces across her knee. The neighbors rush in, take the soldier into custody, and the mother in her excitement snatches- up her healthful child and gives it natural food. In five minutes the child dies of poison, Although previously perfectly well. --0 PLEASANT . BEVERAGES FORl THE HOT DAYS.
