We are again called on to record an other sad death. On Saturday a week ago the fourteen year old son of Mr. t Miles Hawkins, near St. Luke's, while cutting stove wood, accidentally struck his foot a heavy blow with an axe, which severed the great toe and part of the foot, with the exception of a small part of the skin at the bottom of the foot. Mr. Hawkins placed the severed part back and bound the foot as best he could, and summoned a physician. The judgment of the physician was, that amputation of the foot was necessary, t but at the earnest solicitations of the family the physician desisted and sewed the parts together. The boy apparently was doing well for nine days, even on Sunday last was in a playful mood, not t complaining of any pain at all. On Monday, however, symptoms of titanus were visible, and yesterday evening (Tuesday) he died in great agony. The family have our deep sympathies in this sad affliction. Mr. J. S. Wheeler's picnic on last Friday, was really an enjoyable affair. The students all acquitted themselves with credit, both to themselves and their instructor. A dinner contisting of the good things which you always find in that section, and for which it is es pecially proverbial, was set ved to every body present, and was enjoyed to a de gree approaching perfection. In fact, the local of the Press and Reporter wvould tell you that the eating was perfect. Addresses were made by Rev. John D. Bowles and C. F. Boyd. Dr. C. T. Wyche wvas called upon to address the audience ; lie took the stand, but as he was introducing his subject, with a quo tation from Gray's E leg:., unfortunately, (or fortunately, we don't know which) for the Dr., a young lady in thme audi ence fainted, and he was called on to treat her professionally. This broke up the Dr's. speech business. He soon1 found that there 'Evas more money in treating a sick lady than there was in speech-making. Do not underst and us to say that the young lady fainted from the effects of the Dr's. speech-it was from being densely packed in a close school room. .Exeunt. We are pained to chronicle the death of Mr. Luther Harmon, which occurred last week in the upper part of Lexington County, under very sad circumstances. Mr. Harmon had been for a long time digging, or rather blasting a well, having struck a hard rock about two feet from the surface, and thence he had to use powder and dynamite freely. He had reached a depth of abotitf5 feet, and we suppose that from descending and ascending so very fre quently he had become callous to the attending dlangers, using neither bucket or tub in being let down or drawn up, simply placing his foot in a loop of the rope. In this wvay lhe was being drawnt up on last Tuesday, when in a few feet of the top, his foot either slipped from the loop or lie was taken with a fainting spell with w~hich lie was~j sometimes affected, and precipitated to the bottom of the wvell. His body doubt less struck the rough and jagged rocks in its descent until it finally struck thme rocky bottom with a dull, heavy thud at the feet of his companion and all was over. Mr. Harmon wvas about 40 years old. He leaves a wife (the third one) and six children to mourn his unexpect ed and tragic death. Mr. Harmon will be greatly missed by all who knew him. IHe possessed in a remarkable degree the virtue of doing good to others, and seemed never so well satisfied as when doing a kindness to others and in sup plying the wants of the needy.

Last Friday we had the pleasure of tttending the "picnic exhibition" of r Ir. J. S. Wheeler's school at Mt. Pil frim. On our arrival at the academy ,ve found a large number already assem >led to wvitness these most delightful xercises. In front of the academy )uilding was a platform erected about 'ight feet wide and twelve or fifteen ect long for the scholars to stand and leliver their speeches and dialogues rom, and around this platform and ront side of the academy was nicely lecorated with cedar and cvergreens, r vhich from a distance put forth a b au f iful appearance, se..s being erected in ront of this platform for the accommo lation of the large audience.

ED1Tron:-We p)eople up here1 ive oft' somewhat ini one corner of the ,orld, as it were, and don't see or lear very much that goes on in other >arts, but we had heard something, bout the great modern discoveries in ;he Old World, where they have been xexavating some of those ancient cities and finding some monstrous fine relics. 3o after studying up the matter and 'cading all the old histories we could Snd in the neighborhood, and holding :wo or three councils and then sending lown to your city for your most cele brated naturalist, and, linally, after a rear or so, getting him to come up and view the ground and take all the neces iary observations, it was determined to rake an excavation of the Indian mound situated about one mile from Chappells. gear this mound on the Saluda will be built our mills and factories when Chap pells becomes a manufacturing towni. Nehar here also is the prospected canal, which was surveyed and a profile of which is now, or should be. in the Agri cultural Department of the State, show ing the tremendous water power that :ould be obtained at that point. But that is not what I started to tell you. It was determined to find out wvhat was in that Indian mound, and, as I said be fore, your naturalist and the rest cf us had discussed the thing together and lie had given full directions how the thing should be done scientifically and not make anybotch job of it; so his faithful lieutenants marshaled their hosts on last Saturday and commenced the siege. Smith was first on the ground, but was soon joined by his faithful seconds, Hol loway and Reid, and then operations commenced; and as they progressed the yeomanryand the beauty, as well as the matrons around, camne on the.scene with fishing tackle and well filled baskets and the little fellows- of the neighbor hood, they were there, and how they d.d enjoy it. They fished, they played on the beautiful meadow near at hand (known as the "Simkins n:eadows''), and all listened and lived, as it wvere, in a state of anxiety, expecting every muo ment to hear Capt. S. or some of his lieutenants shout that they had found, they knew not what, but somiething a dead Indian's bones, bows, arrows,. spear heads, pots of rare gems, or some thing, they couldn't conjecture what. At last they heard the cry, and every thing went in a regular 01(1 "rebel run" right on to the fort. One of the young idies outstripp)ed all the rest anid se cured the relic-the top part or rim of an old earthen vessel like a pot. This made all expect more; but tinme rolled on ond the n ork progressed, but alas! no more relics. Dinner was rprecad and sonic of the young gents from Chappells amppeared on the ground, and things got lively for awhile; all enjoyed dinner, and none, I reckon, moure so than those fellows who had been digging in that mound-but that dinner treshened them up and they~ got at it again with more hope and great expectations, but as they found no more relics the relic hunters began to dis perse and all went home, fully satistied that there was nothing in that Indian mound; except Capt. S., and he will have to again confer with your city's natur:alist, and then lhe will determine whether he will again tackle it.

After I had rheumatism for four years n my right hip, I tried S. S. S. It at >tnc built tip my health and the rheu- of ticl pains were all:tyed, and finally lisappearetl entirely. I regard it as the )est possible tonic; and it never fails to S) >rig my system ip to the best condi ion whenever run down by siekne-s or >ver work. I have come to regard S. S. E t. as a necessary household medicine. B. I'EARCE. Gainesville, Fla., Jan. 25, 1SS5; Treati?e on Blood and Skin Disease nailed free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC Co., Drawer 3, it'auta, Ga. 5-19-It. THE DARKEST HOUR. For a period of four years I've been a -ictim of a very severe and agonizing ase of Salt Rheume, which affected my rands to such an extent that they al aost'became a burden. My hand became raw and horrifying, ompelliiig me to keep it coveied all the ilne. I've spent hundreds of dollars for va ions preparations, but itstead of bene itting my condition, they all seemed to timulate and encourage the progress of he miserable disease, until I had about ;iven up all hope. But thank heaven, "the darkest hour Of just before day," and I am rejoiced to :now that a positive cure has been found. vhich is known as B. B. B.-Botanic 3lood Balm. My family all rejoice at its magical urative powers in giving me relief. My tand has been cured and resembles a urnt surface after being healed over, aore than anything else. It has also G ured my two children of a loathesome orm of Itch which had resisted all pre ions treatment. I refer to any business L ouse in Moody and to Thomas Payne, )ruggist, of whom I purchased the oods. Signed. W. A. BRYANT. Moody, Texas, April 27, 1886. a FLESH SLOUGHING OFF IN PIECES. For two years I have been confined to ed with a loathsome form of Blood 'oison, which had about eaten me up, nd I and others had no hope of a re overy. For a while I could neither ralk, sit down, nor lie down, only in isery as my flesh seemed to be falling G ft my bones in pieces as big as a hen gg. My appetite was lost, my bones R ched and*pained me, and friends even 4 hunned me. I used various blood pu- o ifiers without benefir, and several pihy icians treated me until large sums of noney had been expended, but not one >article of good did any one give me. On the 10th of Febr-uary, 18S6, Mr. F. 1. Jackson called to see if I was not leadl, as it was thought I could not en lie my suffering much longer, lie oncluded to try B. B. B. on me and got. bottle fiom Mr. Brockington, at Beau ort, S. C., and before one bottle hlad >een usE d I commenced ga'ning strenlgth, ny appetite improved, sores dommenced tealing and when two bottles had been ised I was on my feet and walking 1.round to the astonishment of every tody.
