Cotton Burned.
On last Saturday Mr. J. H. Sanders
had six bales of cotton badly burned.
The cotton was on his wagon on tie
way to town. The fire was discovered
jus~t beyond the O'Nealt bridge over
Bush river. The cotton was thrown off
the w agon and rolled in the branch.
The loss will probably not exceed one
bale. The fire is supposed to have
- originated from the smoking of a pipe
by negroes who were riding on the
wagon.

Will Ruff. colored, forcibly entered the
house of Maria Thompson, colored, on
Luther Fellers' place one day last week
and stole, therefrom, one pair boots, one
pair pants, coat, vest and shirt, all"belong
iag to Smily Jackson, colored. The
thief reached Columbia, where he was
arrested by Chief Ratcliff. He was
brought before Judge Boozer yesterday.
He waived a preliminary hearing, and
was committed to jail in default of a S-00.
bond. The boots were recovered-the
clothing was on his person.
An accident, wh;ch came near being fa
tal, befell Miss Corrie Miller, daughter of
A. H. Miller, on Sunday morning last.
Miss Corrie intended pouring a glass of
domestic wiae from a jug, for her grand
father, and thece were several jugs in the
pantry, and on p)ouring it out, she saw
that the liquid did not .look like wine.
She thought she had mistaken the vinegar
jug for the wine, and proceeded to test it
by taking a sup, which proved to be con
centrated lye in solution. The immediate
effects were terrifie. She suffered excru
ciating pains in her mouth, throat and
stomach. Emetics were promptly ad
mnistered, which had the desired effect,
and saved the young lady's life. She is
now doing reasonably weil, and is thought
to be out of danger.
Fifteen years ago, there were shipped

were two physicians here-now, there are
six, and stal-They are not happy. Fineen

The patrons of Locust Grove Academy
held a meeting on last Saturday, and after
an expression of opinion in regard to
teachers. .during which lady teachers
were pretty severely criticized by some of
the patrons, proceeded to the elect: n of
a boadl of Trustees, wbich resulted in the
choice of Messrs. N. B. Wheeler, G. A.
Long and B3. H. Miller. These gentle
men then elected a teac'her, Mr. Drayton
Smith, of Lexington County. Mr. Smith
comes highly recaommended, and hears a
teacher's first grade certificate. There
were three lady-applicants, but from the
tone of some of the patrons, it will be
useless for a lady to ever make applica
tion for th9s school. We are glad that
there are only a few p)ersons who enter
taei such narrow and contracted s. ews,

The colored Baptist Association, Geth

On yesterd:y morning the body was

Knowledge from Experience
Is what we-understand when Dr. Spal

veston, Texas, writes "send me two

IN BRIEF AND TO THF POINT.
Dv-pepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is inisery. Indigestionisafet
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. It is easily put out
of or der.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have. made the
American people a nation of dyspeptics.
But Greenl's August Flower has done
a wonderful work in reforming this sad
business andl making the American peo
ple so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.
Remember :-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys
peptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle.

Another Cholera Ship.
NEW YORK, October 18.-The French
steamship Britannia, which arrived here
on the 13th instant from Marseilles and
Naplcs, and has been held by the health
officers at the upper quarantine for ob
servation, was this morning sent down
to the lower quaran tine, four cases of
cholera having been found aboard of her.
The Britannia is a sister ship to the Ale
sia, which brought the cholera here some
weeks ago.
LATER.
Health Officer Smith told a reporter
this afternoon that there was no cholera
aboard the Britannia. He caused her
removal to the lower quarantine station
this morning because friends of the pas
sengers on board were- flocking about
trying to get them ashore. On the other
hand, boatmen who earn a livingabout
the upper quarantine say that four cases
of cholera have developed aboard the
Britannia. They hint that Smith is try
ing to keep the facts from the press and
-public.

she soon afterwvards died.
Ini her dying moments Mrs. Tyler
softly murmured, "I must pass to see
Governor Lee." This she several times
repeated. Her friends could not under
stand what she meant by her strange
request, but the mystery was fully ex
plaindd.to them by Governor Lee. He
wrote to Mrs. Tyler's sister to-day stat
ing that he had been in correspondence
with the deceased in regard to the con
tribution to the monument, and this
wili explain to her, perhaps what
prompted the dying words of her noble
sister, who lost her life while attempt
ing to see Governor Lee to hand him
money to assist in erecting a monument
to commemorate the deeds.and the vir
tues of her husband's old commander.
It was known that Mrs. Tyler had a
large roll of money when she left home,
because her sister asked, "why are you
taking so much money with you?" Her
rceply was, "It is to pay a debt of hon
or."
She never lived to pay "the debt" as
she termed it' but her memory will ever
live.
