Tuosday afternoon. 13 to 0 in favor of

was good on both sides and was much
enjoyed by tho fpubllc. DoCaraps and
Rowley pitched for Grecnvillo and
-Gray caught. Anderson and Rich
ardson, of Gross Hill, twirled for Lau
ron8; Hudgons did tho catching for
her. Rlohardson's pitching was some
thing lino.
Sonator Irby's 'euo last Saturday
8oems to havo been quite a success, do
splto tho rain that had boon falling tho
day aud night before. The rain
"slacked up" Saturday morning and
soon squads of people began to pour in
and by clovon o'clock- the grovo in
front of tho Senator's houso contained
an immonso crowd of bis political con
stituents and a few who woro friends
to him porsonally but "agin him polit
ically. The crowd was unusually or
derly and woll behaved and altogother
the day was f.'eo from any sensation.
Tho dinner was bountiful. Col. Mo
Cravy was the Senator's right hand
man in superintending tho affair. --
Thoro was speaking in tho forenoon
and in tho afternoon, but upon tho
wholo, good humorod speaking, tho
Sonator himself coming tho nearest to
gotting up "arousomonts" when refer
ring to oho county "iilggor" ticket. Be
sldos tho Sonator, Larry Gantt, (ion.
Gray, Stanyarno Wilson and Rov. A.
W. Moore spoko. Two bands worein
attendance Tho dispensary was elosed
for tho day, at the Senator's instance.
On Sunday, the 11th instant William
Bailoy, colored, shot and killed his
brother, Ludy Baily, on B M. Henry's
placo somo six miles from hero. It
scorns to havo been an accident. Wil
liam borrowed tho pistol the night bo
foro, for what purpose is not distinctly
stated, but it would seem as aporequis
ito of "going to meeting" noxt day.?
At any rate, at tho timo of the shoot
ing, the boys, (tho deceased is 1!) tho
other 18,) woro "fixing" logo to ohuroh
and as a finishing touch tonisohurobly
outlit, Ludy reached for tho pistol ly
ing on tho bed which, becoming entan
gled in tho bed clothing, was dis
charged, the load entering tho abdo
mon of William lounging on tho bed.
Ho died at 10 o'clock the next morning.
His outcry when shot indicate.-, that
tho shooting was accidental.
Tho Unding of the coroner's jury was
simply that death resulted from a pis
tol shot wound, the pistol being in tho
hands of Ludy Baily. Tho coroner is
sued a warrant for Ludy Baily and he
is now in jail.

P. S. Tho writer is anxious to got
homo?where ho will bo wolcomed ?
Laurcns is tho best county In tho
world--peas, pindcrs and pork in pros
pect and wc will all bo happy y-A.
Luck to Laurcns.
Many reasons might bo given to show
that it is to tho intorost of any live
town to havo tho service of more than
ono railway system, ft will give more
accommodations, reduced freights, and
many othor advantages which will
havo their inllucnco In developing new
enterprises and building up business.
In this connection wo would respect
fully .suggest that tho extension of tho
Columbia, Nowborry and Laurons Rail
ltoad from Clinton via Laurons, Tum
bling Shoals, Princeton. Pelzcr, Pied
mont to Basley, would in a fpw years
add many thousand dollars to the
wealth of tho plaeos mentioned.
A competitive lino would strongthon
tho manufacturing interests of Pied
mont, Pol/.er and Laurcns.
Tumbling Shoals is ono of tho finest
water powers on Reedy river and a
railroad to it would mako It avallablo
for building up a largo manufacturing
interest.
Princeton Is a beautiful place, in a
lino farming section, and near to two
more shoals on Saluda whoso powor
might bo utilized and made to run
thousands of spindles.
Such a lino would bo a great bonollt
to Fasloy and Pickons county, and we
believe our people can be relied upon
to do their share towards securing It,
What say tho people along the lino
and cannot the Seaboard Air Lino be
interested in such an enterprise??
Basley Messenger.
Tho routo abovo indicated would
dovolopo a very line section of Laurcns
?a section greatly in need of railroad
facilities and ono rich in agricultural
lands and in water power. Along tho
line, 8 miles from hero are Goodglons
Factory falls on Gast Rabun?two miles
from there aro the Burnt Factory falls
on West Rabun--2 miles further Tum
bling Shoals on Roedy river (one of tho
best falls in upper Carolina)?two miles
above, Kirkpatrick falls whore many
years ago considerable business was
done ?4 miles bolow aro Beeks fall.
From Tumbling Shoals to tho beautiful
little town of Princeton is something
le*59 than 4 miles. About2} miles south
west of Princeton are Irwin Mills and
falls on Saluda. Tho route from Prince
ton to Pelzer would be direct and over
a level country. A rail road running
anywhere along tho line indicated
would cortninly havo a good country to
hack it and it is well worth whilo for
all interested to agitato the matter.
Luurens has her tolophono oxchango
all in good working order. Now why
not Clinton make an effort to have the
systom extended to this place theroby
joining tho two towns closer together?
This would most cortainly prove of
groat convonlonco and benelit to us all
and it would not cost millions oither.
?Clinton Gazette.
A good idea. Clinton should first go
ahoad and got up her local oxchango
and then stops can be taken to connect
the two. Col. Traynham tho Presi
dent of our Company will take pleas
ure in giving information about the
costs of establishing an Exchango and
running it, and tho probable dividends
that it will pay. Ho is thoroughly fa
miliar witlrthe details.

A Pleasant Day.
In our meandering over the
county it was oui good fortune to
meet with the good people of Wa
terloo at their annual barbecue on
the 7th inst.
It is the custom of the people of
this flourishing little town to have
a barbecue at the Springs, in the
suburbs o( their town, every year,
and there is not a more delightful
place to havo such a gathering.
A more social gathering wo have
never met. The people of Water
loo know how to enjoy such an oc
casion, and how to make a visitor
feel at home at their annual feast.
The beautiful arrangement for din
ner were real home like. Each one
had his plate and ftonT tlr. groan
ing table, heaped his dish witli the
roast, the bash, and the accompany
ing vegetables, and retired to his
sea 1.
After the sumptuous dinner was
dispatched the old people grouped
about to talk over the incidents
that had occurred since their gath
ering a year prcvi and the
younger people repaired to Ander
son's Hall to enjoy the amusements
suited to young people.
May the good people of Water
loo ever be permitted to perpetuate
their annual feast.
