Mr. Goldsmith Thompson Eudod His
Own Lifo Monday Night.
The friends of Mr. Goldsmith Thomp
son, son of Judge and Mrs. O. G.
Thompson, were shocked Tuesday to
hear that he had committed suiolde
by shooting himself in the head with a
pistol. It seems 'that he had boon in
ill health for sometime and had become
deapondont, but there was no thought
by members of his family or bis friends
that he ever oontemplated self de
struction. He was at the homo of his
father, five miles South of the city. He
oooupled a room alone and upon in
vestigation after the startling report
of a pistol shot at one o'clock at night
the young man was found in his bed In
an uncon8olous condition. He lived
about four hours, dying just before 5
o'olook. Dr. A. J. Christopher of this
city was summonod and he hastened to
the wounded man's bedside.
Mr. Thompson was about 32 years
old and was unmarried .
The sympathy of every one goes out
to Judge Thompson and family in their
sad aflliotion.

Tho Greenville News of Tuesday
gives me cotton quotations as received

Greenville, 9 75.

Seneca, 9.90.
West Union, 9.82 1-2.
Pendlet on, 0 S5.
Central, 9.87 1-2.

It will do observod that not a slnglo
town is paying ten rents for cotton,
while praotloally every balj sold at
Lamers Cotton Mills last Saturday
brought that price and it has continued
to bring that price thero and over In
town as woU on Monday and Tues
day, and in tho afternoon it brought
lu 1-10 at both places. And yet any
person familiar with cotton will i>cll
you that tho grade of cotton producod
in Andcr-on and Greenville comities
is superior to that produced In this
county. In viow of the above facts we
have just cause- to bo proud of our cot

Faithful to Order?,
(Scottish high laud retainers, when
(node to do duty as servants, are said
to show a vary stolid, matter of fact
kind of obedience. A Mr. Cumpboll, a
highland gentleman, visiting a country
house, told Donuld to bring everything
<?ut of ttie bedroom, meaning his per*
jonol belongings. But live minutes-lat
er ho found all Its movablo articles?
fender, Oro irons and the like?piled
up lu tho lobby, so literal was the poor
man's sense of obedlonco to orders.
And of this ho gave it still inoro ex
troordlnary proof during his ojlo?rn.

I.ocuntM That Bring Terror.
In South Africa locusts ore not those
solitary green insects that crawl lazily
over tho apple tree trunks and enliven
the July nights with the buzz of their
Lillputiau sawmills. They are big, red
dish yellow grasshoppers, with long,
Btrong, brown wings nnd two little
millstones of teeth that will masticate
anything thut can bo forced between
them. Thoy are neither solitary nor
lazy. They nro warriors, live und breed
iu camps millions strong and campaign
in armies miles in extent. They fear
nothing except an explosive noise, and
their combig is the signal for an up
roarious rattling of pans and a frenzied
yelling among grown men nnd women
that would put to shame the Yankee
small boy on the Fourth of July. Poor,
simple people that they are, their cropa
are 4heir all, nnd It is a matter of life
and death with them to keep off those
terriblo insects.?Century.
Odd r*~uuJnlin?ent?.
In tho reign of Queen Mary a man
was pilloried in London for selling
pots of strawberries, "the which the
pot was half full, but ill led with
fern." Poor old Chenpside has doubt
less seen many similar frauds. At
the same period persons were of
ten pilloried for Belling bad fish, and
tho tish itself was hung around their
necks. Tho public was thus allowed
to avenge itself. A butcher who had
vended diseased meat was made to
ride around London, "his face toward
the horse's tall, with half a lamb be
fore and another behind and veal and
calf bones before him on a pole, raw."
His own meat, no doubt, and therefore
not too savory. A similar punishment
of riding round London In a cart woe
given to a certain person who had sold
his wife to a butcher. Let us hope
that this sale was purely matrimonial.
