The State vs. Vinnie Nance, Martha Lyles and Amy R'utherford, murder. Vinnie Nance alone put upon trial. The principal defense was an dlib. The jury (10 white and 2 colored) returned a.verdict of guilty. A motion ;ora; npw tria :was made,-but overruled. She was-ably defended by Messrs. D. O. Herbert and John-B. Jones, who did all in- their power to save the hapless wo man, much credit is due these young gentlemen for their management of the case. Judge Wallace, immediately af ter over-ruling the motion for a new trial, sentenced her to be hanged on Friday, the 25th day of September next, prefacing the sentence with a few brief and touching remaks, showing his great sympathy and feeling for the doomed woman, and moving many of the spec tators to tears, among which the defen dant sat unmoved, showing by no sign, whatever, that she realized her situation. It is understood that an appeal will be taken. The Solicitor continued the ease as to Martha Lyles and entered a nolpros as to Amy Rutherford. Just before the adjournment, Major Suber, for the Bar, presented resolutions commemorative of the life and services of Gen. Albert C. Garlington, making a few well-timed remarks thereon. Mr. -Thomas S. Moorman and Hon. George Johnstone seconded the resolutions in short but feeling addresses, after which, His Honor ordered them spread upon the minutes and a blank leaf be inscribed to the memory of the deceased. Gen. Pope, also for the Bar, presented like resolutions in memory of James Packer, Esq., to which Hon. George Jonstone, Messrs. -G. -G. Sale, L. W. Simklns, Geo. S.- Mower, J. F. J. Gal well and G. B. Cromer, also made re marks, after which the Court ordered them to be recorded inthe minutes. (The resolutionsare published elsewhere). Adjouried'une Ji~. She Goes for Him Mr. Reporter, of Helena, promised us~ the last word to the extent of farewell salutations ; yet no sooner had the smile of gratinecation vanished from our coun tenance than a terrible vibration, took possessien of us, caused by a volcanic explosion from "Helena Happenings," resulting in our. "loss of equilibrium," and the heat of which was felt to such an extent as to cause our very eyes to flash fire. He preached a sermon, taking for his text-not woman, wvine and song -but woman, thunder and lightning ! He should have discoursed on woman, independent ; independence born of debt-encumbered propserty being trans ferred to her for safe keeping. There. fore-. positions being reversed, man 's pocket has ceased to jingle, and poor, sad spirited papa sends "little Cain" to mama for "loose change"-proving hinm perhaps first in fashion, for tradition does not tell us which of the twain fash ioned the dresses of fig leaves. Hence man,at this stage of existence, is a very dependent creature, and an object oi pity, as seen in fre1e&ent trips to "Ma dame" for an order on his merchant; his.success in getting one depen ding on~ the alacrity with which lie obeys her verbal ones; and while Cain intercedles in his behli woman is Abel to paddle her own canoe. The provoking niature of man generally succumbs to the noble one of woman, who, in a spirit of just resentment, wvould blast with withering fire ; yet, when the clouds roll by, she'. willing to take him in out of the rain, if his bowo of submission don't bring him in too close contact with the earth-that is, if Bacchus don't land him. 'Twas quite natural that Eve should have the las1 word, as the expulsion from Eden fol lowed Adam's bite of the apple, whici was accompanied by loving words from her, and as they left their- beautiful Edeu 'tis reasonable to think wails sub stituted words.

Cromer and little Mar gu itte returned to Newberry on. the 16t , after spending a week with relatives and friends in this city. I vas misinformed as to time and man ner'. in which Messrs. B. B. and B. J. Ramage, Jr., reached this city and left for: their home at Newberry. I have learned since writing the dot contained in my letter of last week, that they reached here on Saturday afternoon in stead of Sunday, and that they left on a special train on the same evening, and not by private conveyance as I had been told. The gentleman who gave me the information said they left the hotel in a carriage, and as he knew there was no regiulai train, and not having heard of their hiring one, he took it for granted that they had gone home in the carriage; the mistake he made was in the day. I am truly glad they reached home on Saturday evening. Remember the time for. the joint sum mer meeting of the State Grange and Agricultural Society at Bennettsville, Marlboro County, on August 5, 1885, also the time for the meeting of the State Sunday School Convention (Inter denominational) in this city on August 18-20. An interesting programnie, has been arranged ;. distinguished Sunday School workers bave consented to take part, and the prospects are bright for a large attendance and a profitable meet ing. The programme.will be printed as oca as .the committee can :hear from the' railroads as:=to. reduced rates. The South Carolina Railway Co. have prom ised to put tickets on=gale at all of the stations=:on the main line and their branches, on August 17tli'End 18th, lim ited to.delegates and visitors in actual attendance upon the Convention, at 1 cents a mile each way (Se for the round trip), good until and including the 22nd. A similar rate from the other roads would be the means of bringing many who would not orherwise attend. En tertainment will be provided for all the delegates and for those invited to take part in the discussion of the subjects ar ranged in programme, and reduced rates secured for all visitors who may be pres ent on this occasion and who will send their names to Rev. A. Coke . Smith, Chairman, or to A. C. Jones, Secretary of the Ex.-Com. State S.-S. Convention, I Columbia, S. C. The Columbia correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier in his letter - July 7th, speaks as follows of the dispsitfon made by the Board of the ap propriation made by the Legislature for the value of artificial limbs in 1884: "At the comptroller-general's office to-day I made inquiry as to the disposi tion of the appropriation of $9,000 made by the Legislature'.at its last session for giving the "value" of the appropriate artfenll limbs to soldiers of the State who had lost legs or arms in the war. It will be remembered that this was the last of a series of appropriations toward the same end. At tirst artificial limbs were bought and supplied bf the State, but they proved worthless. Subsequent ly the terms of the annual approp.riations were so changed that the value of the limbs was given to those who proved their claims to them, and those who had received worthless appliances were al lowed to draw their proportion of the money as if they had not been originally supplied. The scale on which the frag ments are made is this : For the loss of an arm below the elbow, $40; above the elbow, $60. For the loss~ of a leg below the .knee,- $75; above the knee, $100. The amount paid varies,.with the extent *of the injury as certified by a surgeons. NTo *instance is recoilleeted where as much as $100 has been paid for the loss ~of one limb. The appropriation of $9;000 was exhausted.several months ago, and there are iow about one hundred unpaid claims ondfile." [ tiragv be of interest to say, that 90)7 ~ applications have .been.'ffled sine the first-appropration was madeein 1879 86 being the last.wbich came in the.ap iropriation of $9,000,' madeaf;the Session of3884. In the 804 there were instances where two ajpplications were m~ade.- The law "is preemptory, consequently, the second application has been invariably disallowed.

In another column we publish an ar ticle from "Clara Louise," which could be styled "A eloud burst," "A cyclonic squall," or by some other windy, stormy name, but "bugle blast" sounds more euphonious. She goes for us, but we will not down. In all controversy our motto is, "Lay on McDuff." Our feath ers are ruffled, we feel like a drowned rat, but we don't intend for our song to be hushed in the woods. We are sel fish, spoiled, want the best of every thing, and-want the best. of this argu "ment:7 Going to have it,"if there's any irtde in piinfer's ink, even if --"there 'is a woman at the bottom of it." So.much the better. To begin at the beginning. A little bird hopped on a limb of a tree at Liberty Hall and chirped. It chirped so sweetly that "Clara Louise" was at tracted and charmed. About the same time an old -owl perched on a hickory limb at Helena and hooted. It hooted so horribly that the village chronicler was distracted and disgusted. Simulta neously there appeared notices of the two "concerts," the one as having made the valleys and the hills resonant with matutinal melody, thg other as having marred the twilight shades by dis cordant strains ; the one blending with the "music of the spheres," the other mixing with the "war of the elements"; the one crowning all harmonious nature with gladness, the other disfiguring even the raven's flight from "the plutonian shore"; she soothed and lulled by the nightingale's trill, the murmuring of the plaintive whippoorwill, of the cooing of the dove, is wafted to the realms of bab bling brooks and gentle zephyrs; he, fretted and stung by the screech of the midnight h-owl, is tossed to the brink of "Dante's Inferno." The two extremes met. There was a clash. Helena "hap pened" to mention "his owl" in connec tion with "her bird," and war is waging. From Liberty Hill to Little Helena the feathers are flying. Yes, ma'm, there are feathers "a-flying in the air." "Clara Louise" and 'Helena Happen ings" are engaged-in conflict. The little speck which appeared on the Lib erty Hall horizon as no. bigger than a bird's foot (from a bird's-eye-view) has assumed immense proportions. Flutter of wings is heard on every passing breeze. Helena is enlisted for the end, and can't be "downed," not by a de scendant -of Eve, and Ruth, and Rachel, and Esther, and all our four-mothers. (Umphthrow.) Does that give you ease, dear "Clara Louise?" .Our fair adver sary.in her reply this week says : "Tra dition does not inform us which of the 'twain' fashioned the dresses of fig -leaves." -Why, "Clara," Eve did it, of course.- -If they had been monkeys, in stead of white people, the womanly,' al though monkeyish,' instincts o.f. Eve would have prompted her to do -it. Wo man is very particular-when there's a man-around, and Eve was no exception to the general rule, even if there was no millinery establishment in the town where she lived at that time; she fol lowed the prevailing fashion of that day. Tell you why. Eve was born in the spring (the spring of the year) when the fig leaves were green, and Adam too; when the leaves began to turn, and she thought the roses would not come again, it was that Eve made her first dress. Adam couldn't even thread the needle. It was at that time too that the first edi tion of over the garden wall was struck off, and Eve first 'sang "Oh my heart fondly cleaves to the dry and withered leaves," and Adam said, "Nothing but leaves." About Eve speaking loving words to Adam as they left the garden we know nothing, but it is accredited to her that she said, she didn't care, Adam, if she did. "Clara Louise" also says we preached a "volcanic sermon," and as there are stones in sermons (especially volcanic ones) it were well to keep ott of reacih for fear some of the stones may hit. Glad you mentione' that, "Clara," as it gives us a cha o say that we want to kill two bird 7e owl and the feathered songster) with one stone this time. We know there are sermons in stones (especially volcanic) but as these are the rolling kind we fear they will gather no moss. Why, "Clara," you just play into our hand. You must really excuse us, we can't help taking advantage of such a good "ipening to put in a clincher. All is fair in love and war. Like a hawk we swoop down on birds of tender growth, and if you don't wish to fall into our clutches you'had better devote all your time to "teaching the youno idea how :to shoot" and let outside "kippenings" alone. Otherwise you might get your wings clipyed, for there are too many female school teach ers at Helena for us to be afraid of any, member of that fraternity. But if you want to argue, come at us again, on an other subject. And now, in conclusion, "Clara,' as you have raised the white' flag of peace, we are willing to-shake hands aeross the bloody chasm on this issue. If 'you think we' are hard, you must recollect that you said' woman was Abel to paddle her own canoe ; we.sin ply desired to show that it was an Evel moment'wlen yoia~ttemptedato' paddle against a newspaper.. - ' ' -B. S.-We feel safe at a. distance. Don't think we can venture to the pic nic Saturday. Too close. For -Dear "Cla.ra Louise," you love to tease,. And worry a bashful fellow; But in the scratch you may strike your match If his light does seem to be mellow. You struck our.owl and it raised a howl From Liberty.Hall to Hel . a, the secluded, but never deluded. Spot where the reporter "do dwell." Between "me and you" the feathers fast hew And were flittered away by the breeze - 'Twas a war of words on the poor little b'lrds, And the aggressor was "Clara Louise.". The flutter of the bird no more is heard' And his voice is hushed in the yew; The chipmunk and bat, the blue-bird and eat, Take the roost once held by "ta-whoo." Who killed the owl and silenced his growl, And troubled the song-blrd's ease ? "With my pen and ink, in the twink of a wink, I did it," said "Clara Louise." It is sad to think that no more will blink The big--eyed owl in the tree. And that thou art the one by whose hand it was done Thy hand, oh! "Clara Louice." The owl sat on a hickory 3imb, Umnphthrow ! A whack from "Clara" silenced him, Umphthrow ! Umphthrow ! Stilled is thy wing', no more wilt thou sing, As twilight shades gather around, .. But with the dead leaves under the eaves Thy .teathers now cover the ground. The hole in the tree that once sheltered thee Shall hide thee no more in the future, For thou art now-lying, nevermore to be fl.v With thy fluttering feathers, and hoot too. Don't think, "Louise," we are hard to please, It is iust our way of doing; We'd be the same, only a little more tame, It we "happenedl" to go a.-wooing. You may think it cheek, but. really, we're meek, It is just our way of telling; If it came to the pinch and you got a good clinch Perhaps it would start us to yelling. We are little but loud and hard to crowd, If our life is spent at Helena, And she that can match us, if she ever does catch us Well, we smile that we never have seen her. Dear "Louise," the reporter sees That you are trying.R best to trip him, But In the race you o~Tt keep pace, Let alone in the end outstrip him. Hei might gt stung by the lash of your tongue (With which all women are clever) But with pencil and paper and the light of a No woma shall down him-no, never. A Xem-arkable TEape. Mrs. Mary A.

As the greatest part of my goods were bought for CASH IN THE AUCTION ROOMS At an average of at least 30 per cent. lcss than the same goods can be bought in regular houses where goods are sold on long time, I can therefore. afford to sell my stock 25 per cent.less than other houses have to pay for the same goods in New York City thereby giving the purchaser the benefit of at least 35 per cent.
