Harmon, on Saturday, by Stale Dank Kxatnliier Olles I.. Wilson, of Spartanburg, charging Mr. lilackwelder with viola-, lion of tin' Slate banking laws. ! The case is without a parallel in the history of the State, it being iho first of the kind ever brought to light., and. therefore, a few facts ami the law governing the ease will he of gen eral interest to Iho public. 'I'he affidavit of Mr. Wilson sets out in part, that ".I. A. I slack welder, at Chaplll, said county and State, did on September I'.MIS. ami other days prior thereto, violate the hanking laws of this State. Vol. I, Code of 10012, section 1.777. against Iho peace and dignity of Ibis State, ami against the statutes in such cases made ami provided, and that deponent, .1. S. Wcsslnger, and .1.

Policeman Fulmor, of the city force, was also connect od With the (hiding of the money, it was said at the time. While the Dank of Chapln will lose something like $1,000, it will in no way be lm pa red by the loss, as it has had a most successful business, and has ample funds to replace the loss. Mr. Dlackwelder was not brought to Lexington, tint was allowed to give bond In Xewberry. in the sum of $1. (100, for his appearance at the coining term of court of general sessions for this county.

Ingnll's eulogy on grass lias I.u repeatedly copied from year to year In most of tin- newspapers of the country, perhaps, and The Adver tiser has no apologies for reproducing it here: " Crass is the forgiveness of nature her constant benediction-. Fields trampled with battles, satuated with Mood, torn will) the ruts of cannon, grow green again with grass, and car. nage is forgotten. Streets abandoned by traffle become grass-grown like rural lanes, and obliterated. Forests decay, harvests perish. Mowers van ish hut grass is immortal. Beleagur ed by the severe hosts of winter it withdraws into the impregnable for tresses of its subterranean vitality and emerges upon the Hist solicitation of spring. Sown by the winds, by the wandering birds, propagated by the subtle horticulture of the elements which are the ministers and servants, with which it softens the rude outline of the world. Its tenacious (ihres hold the earth in its place and prevent the soluble components from washing in to the wasting sea. It invades thr solitudes of the deserts. Climbs thr Inaccessible slopes and forbidding pinnacles of the mountain, mndiflef climate and determines the history, character and destiny of nations. I'n obstructlve and patient, it has im mortal vigor and nggresslon. Banish ed from the thoroughfare and the field) it hides its time to return and when Vigilance is relaxed, or the dynasty has perished, it silently resumes the throne from which it has been expell ed, but which it never abdicates. It bears no blazonry of bloom to charm the senses witii fl'llgrauco or splendor, but Its homely hue is more enchanting than the lily or the rose. It yields no fruit in earth or air. and yet. should its harvest fail for a single year, famine would depopulate the world." For Governor.
