ALDRICH wants to make the whole conetitatie.n, and has introduced an entire constitution. Tan trial justice system is wholly unsatisfactory, and the establishment of County Courts would be a great im provemett. t Ir is gratifyingz to see that the con- t veation has not been conducted on pirtisan lines so far. We hope that it will con anue tiil the end. JUDGE FRASEIRS pbotograph in the News and Courier looks 1 ke a boy of eightem, but, to those who do not know him, we nay say that there is not a better bead in the Convention. GENERALLT, we have no sympathy I1 for the spirit of fighting corporations, simply because they are corporations. We believe, however, they should be L regulated to a great extent, and it is r proper to prevent consolidations where b they destroy competition,. C COUNTY SUPERVISOR ScoTT, of I3 Union County, has called upon the ~ County Supervisors in the State and all persons interested in the improve ment of public roads to meet in Co lumbia on the 24th inst. This Cong ress or Convention should do good. The Stte ees to have waked up on way as men and single women is right. tit This should be the law. No good 1F -- reason can be g~iven why a married 0 woman's property should not be liable ror her debts of all kinds. She should a be allowed to do with her proper ty ti just as she pleases. If she desires to pledge it to aid any member of her tt family or anybody else, she should be ti allowed to do it.a ALL the work on the. nagnificent electric fountain in the grand basin -at the Cotton States and Ihternational a Exposition has been completed, and t for the past few days millions of gal- ti lons of clear water have been pouring t4 into the lake from the city mains. It is filling rapidly and will soon be up to r the level of the boat-houses from which the electric lanches are to make ' their trips. The.fouhtaini will be one of the most beautiful sights on the g grounds, and at night, -when the jets, ia sprays, and fog banks are aglow with C the colored lights that will flash from below, it will be one of the most gor- f, geous scenic illuminations ever pro duced. ' WHERE WILL IT END? Blrothers Try to Avene the Blood of a Dead Brother. The account of the attempted assasi nation of Constable Stevenson of our county was published in the State last p week, .but the staff correspondent ~ wrote as if- he doubted the correctness of the report. Constable Stevenson c has lijen transferred to another part I of the State in consequence of the I following account. He was in town several days ago and will s~o from 1, hereito some point in the lower part o of the State. It is not thought that si the party who fired wanted any one killed in the crowd but Stevenson, as the question was asked if any of them j' was .named Stevenson, and then ther fir ing began.. We clip., the following from the. Atlanta C'onstitution, and a letter re ceived in Spartanburg last Friday from Constable Stevenson says that i the negro who enticed him away was 8 doubtless the emissary of the Fishers and Durhams, and he believes it a e conspiracy to kill him. Stevenson has b been transferred to the lewer section g of the state. The dispatch to the C'on- i .stitution says: Columbia, S. C., September 5.-A a special from Greenville reports thata an attempt was made last night, pre sumably by friends of Jsck Fisher andt Bill Durham, the two moonshinerst killed by constables near Spartanbnrg several months ago, to avenge their deaths. One of the constables who took part in the fight and who is sup- t posed to have killed Jaek Fisher, isa Constable Stevenson, who is now at-r tending court in Greenville. A brother of Jack Fisher is also there with a number of friends. Steven son hast been warned that it would be well for him to remain close in the city during a the presence of the moonshiners, and ten warning he carefully observed ntil lazt night, when he went with onstab'e Davis to seize some liquor -hich was said to be hid near the itv. The constables were taken by their aformants to an old cemetery near own where the liquor was reported o be stored. When the constables eganito search, theiiuformants drove I, and immediately a volley of bullets -ere flying around the liquor hunters' eads. Davis fled precipitately back > town, but Stevenson crawled into briar pdtch until he was rescued by hief Constable Fant and several asistants who were sent by Constable )avis. The whole scheme is believed have been devised by the friends of be slain moonsbiners, with the purpose t "fixing" Constable Stevenson. A Headlight reporter saw Constable 'oland, and who was also engaged in 1e battle which resulted in the death f Jeek Fisher and Bill Durham. Mr. 'oland said: "I believe the Fishers ud Durbams have determined to venge the deaths of Jack and Bill, nd that they have marked me as a ictim of their vengeance. But I do ot intend to leave Spartanburg, and either am I in the least afraid. I am lways prepared for a conflict, and vhen the shooting begims shall do my art. I am not hunting a fight, but are both eyes wide open, and don't hink anyone slip up on me. The ther night I was sitting at tha Air ine depot in Spartanburg, when a rother of Jack Fi-her came up to me nd spoke very friendly, offering his and, and of course I accepted. Pretty on be was joined by Lee Fisher and no of the Durhams, who did not peak, but if I ever saw vengeance ritten upon men's faces it was de Acted upon their's. It occurred to ne that they had brought down a agon-load of liquor, and were watch ng out for the constables. I went up own and woke up the other officers. 3ut since the attempt to assasinate 3tevenson by this same crowd. I now 'eel assured that had I iemained round the depot until the crowd left hat I would have been murde-red. I m not the least nervous or exc'ted, ut shall keep an eye upon those 'llows, and don't propose to run way on account of the Fishers and )urhams. When the battle opens, on can rest as ared tl-tt Toland will :ill as many of rnem as they will kill f Toland."-Piedmons Headlight. Marvelous Results. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gun Lermian, of Dimoidale, Mich,, we are per aitted to make this extract: "I have no esitation in recommending Dr. King's iew Discovery, as the results were almost iarvelous in the case of my wife.
