Death of Rev. J. W. Kelly. The Rev. John W. Kelly, we regret to say, died quite =su,klenly at, Oi-ange burg, Feb. 18. .'specil dispatclfto the Nets and Couier from which we.learn the fact, says: . The circumPtance= of the death of the Rev. John W. Kelly, which was an nounced in the Krtes and Courier this morning, were somewhat peculiar. Mr. Kelly had spent the Titght with Dr. R. W: Bates, and was in his usual health when he arose in the morning. About o'clhck, while standing e:gaged in eonversation, he fell dead at the feet of Dr. BAtes...... The $ev. gentleman was about- 55 cenrs.of age, over 40 of which have been pentih the harness of the -g=pel. O:ii frst recollection of him was as the ima or of old St. James Church, King St., Charleston, a few doors-below Line St., tad long1-since swept away, and -the aithful iastor has gone to meet many >f the members of that early charge, who preceded him to the better land. rvco negroes Probably Poisoned. Mention was made in our last issue of be fact that it was thought some parties n the upper portion of the county had en poi,oned, and that the Coroner ha1i Eone to hold the inquest. Stanmore oitune and Alice Wilson died rather udclenly on the 8th of February 1885. hhere were rumors and sns,picions .r in 1e Fyt ptonit, that probgbly= there 'had een foul: -play. - On the't8th these iu oors of poisoning 'eached or-oner ass. He went immediately to the lace and began an investigation. After mpanelling a jury and examining sev ral witnessess and. Dr. East the atiend gphysician, and also the physician who eld the post mortem~examination, Cor er- Bass having had the bodies ex ined. the jury rendered the following erdict: That tlie said Stanmore Fortune and lice Wilson came to their death on the th:day of Feby. 1885 by Poison by the ands of Susan Pitts. Susan Pitts has been committed to all to await trial at Sessions Court on be charge of muider. Jmost a Row. A HER ,.D reporter, quite a little fel-: >w, furnishes*the following-graphie ac.

At the meetingof the National Grange held at Nashville, Tenn., in November, 1814, the delegates representing the va r:ous States and counties of Amer-a, presnt-d without a dissenting voice the nam - of the Hon. D. Wyatt Aikein for the Cabinet po-ition of Comm'ss:oner of Agr:culture, by the adoption of the fol lowing resolut ion: Resolved, "That the National Grange Patrons of husbaudry, in annual m e ig, do most earnestly petition the Pres:d -ut elect, w hen inaugurated, to a;-p>,nt, in the interest of Agricultur -, the Hon.

Resolved, "Th.at the Worthy Master, and- Secretary be Instructed to present this petition, In person,-to the Predi,lent elect at the earliest convenienec-." In addition to the foregoing r-es -l: tions the following additionail re-olution wa adopted : Resolved, "That we earnestly re.quest the delegates to this National Grange to bring .the Resolution adopted .by this Grange, requesting that Bro. D). Wyatt Aiken be made Commissioaer of Agri culture, before their respective .State Granges, and ask their co-operation." In acedrdance with the Ar<t Resolu tion ailopted, the Worthy..Ma-er,. Mr. J.

Yet we are told that the National Asssociatlon at New Orleani recommrenxded as Commissioner, Mr. Fr. C. Morehe-ad.- The question has b:-en asked, "who is Mr. Moreha-ad ? H is certainly a new man In the agriectiti ral world." I have heard nothing thal would entitle him to special com4d. erat ion on the part of the Farmers. remlnds .me of the men, who were conspicuous by theIr absence in the late war, but who would be found on all public occasions telling whatd ie hadl don to save the col.intry, also of the non c an. tributing voter who durin'g the struggle of the campaign would prophecy fail-:rx appear indifferent about going to the And it is a matter of regret, that charac ters like these often obt.dn the si-gnat uret and support of .persons who know that they are not entitled to any of the bene; fits bestowed upon citizens, soldiers oi patriots for merit.
