Williams registered at the Newber- ry i ry Hotel, claiming to be traveling in roor the interest of some Western railroad, one. his object being to take what negroes Stat who wanted to go to Arkansas, over a cli his railroad. The impression got thir abroad that Williams was an enigra- cess tion agent and was inducing several tow families to leave who were under con- low: tract for the year, and Williams was 1. written a note to leave by the first roor train. He did not go, however, until cept the one o'clock train on Thursday.- 2. Wiser counsel prevailed and Williams busi was not hurt. He took off only about heal five or six with him, and most of them 3. from town. THE HERALD AND NEwS bool had a short talk with Mr. Williams etc. and he disclaimed any effort being 4. used on his part to induce tbe negroes a n to leave; that his only object and bus- fille iness was to see that whoever went, and traveled over the road he reresented; 5. that he would not, if he knew it, per- app] mit one to go who was under contract. hall It was also reported that Henry stru Kennedy, a local leader among the ne- regt groes, had something to do with this TI emigration and was possibly acting of tl with Williams in getting up this party. men THE HERALD AND NEWS saw Ken- and nedy yesterday, and when asked about prac it said he knew nothing of Williams who coming until he was introduced to ougl him at the depot on the night of his worl arrival, and had only a few words with way him; that he had notbing to do with by i the colored people leaving. But he quir thought it would be a -good thing for pers some of the colored people to leave; this that there were too many here. He asso sid he knew he was accused of con- assu nection with this agent, but that be not ; had nothing to do with it, and then out < went on to talk about the rights of the rem colored people being denied them by TI tbe courts and so on. When asked if sity he knew anything of one C. A. Ride- the 3 out, who was in the county last week, min and was thought to be connected with The; this exodus,said.he met himin.Chicago mata in 1880, in the National Republican mist convention, but did not know what Fc his business here was. "If you want You to know the cause of the colored peo- and ple leaving and the cause of the dissat- ougi isfaction among them," continued and Kennedy, "it is to be found in the casit work of the last term of Court at this Sut place. I hear more talk among them defil than I ever heard before, that they had facil no rights in the Courts. Don't know let a whether many of them will leave, but and [know if they had not been under who eontract during the fever there would whi< have been a good many leave." The of th result of the trial of the State vs. Wil- cons Iiams seemed to be the cause of the Stat trouble as viewed by Kennedy. This con was the first intimation we had of any settl lissatisfaction among the colored peo- as it ple on account of the Courts.

T At a meeting of the farmers' central witi club on last Saturday, arrangements I were perfected with certain companies and individuals, for the purpose of pur chasing commercial fertilizers at re duced rates for cash. The various clubs fan composing the central club, will use bou about ten carloads-a considerable item. The vexed question, "Who shot Fed wit Harmon" has been answered by a jury aon of his peers from Lexington County- abli Paul Wingard - "Guilty" - "but we recommend him to the mercy of the Pro ad Court." The Court says in substance, and "Paul Wingard, you shot Fed Harmon the to the extent of six months in jail, or bou $300 ine." Wingard downs the cash, and the boys are happy and serene-for a while at least. A lad about 16 years old, a son of Mr. J. C. Banks near O'Nea'l, met with iub a serious accident last Thursday. While he and a brother were "playin'g" with an axe, he received a ghastly wound in T the front part of the thigh, which severed sop the extensive muscles-the axe cutting Col: full width to the bone. Dr. Langford, inst his physician, thinks he will be able to ten save the lad the use of his limb. Boys, mei don't play with sharp, or even dull axes. nur The auditor closed his books on the the 20th Instant. Everybody has made his pre! or her return. or ought to have made it, T and the returns are now in the hands of H. the township Boards of Equalizations. pre' It all persons would or could make their N returns on a common basis, the Toivn- ope ship Boards would have a comparatively ma easy time. But men see values differ. T ently, and in consequence, thereof, the Co Boards have many inconsistencies to re- OPE concile. We shall refer to this matter Lai again in our next letter. R. Oa Friday evening and Saturday tV morning Mr Williams, A. G. Wise and Ofl A. H. Kohn made a financial canvass of .Go the town for the purpose of raising $150 bat for association purposes. The business tee men and citizens responded liberally ma and $153 were raised. The weather bet could not have been more inauspicious aft' during the visit of these young men, yet in: we feel that they have done much good BiE by coming among us. We would sug- liv gest that our sister associations procure f'ul a visit from Mr. Williams. He will do Jec you much good. Onx last Thursday and Friday nights, de( the Y. M. C. A. of this place en.ioyed Co' quite a rare treat in being visited by ' Mr. H. 0. Williams, State Secretary sb and Mr. G. M. Rosser, Secretary of the Columbia Association. On Thurs- - day night a meeting for men only was held in the Y. M. C. A. room, and was Col well attended. It was a gospel meeting Mr and was conducted by Mr. Williams in Mi: a serious and impressive manner. On ] Friday night the meeting (public) was Re held in Grace Church. Notwithistand- an ing the heavy and continuous outpour ing of the clouds, quite a respectable audience assembled, among whom were a number of' ladies. Mr. Rosser con- ber ducted the religious exercises, after ho: which Mr. Williams made an interest-- of ing talk on the personal work of the hi associations. The speaker emphasized. the point that the work of the associa- i tions is largely preventive. True the _ work is also curative, but the idea is that it is far better, easier and safer to pre vent deadly diseases, than to cure Fe them after they have once taken hold cic man. r Ed The nmemnbers of Rev. J. C. Boyd's Elc (Frosperity) congregation entered into a E Secret Service Combination, and on last oni Thursday they consummated their plans by giving their beloved Pastor a say most complete surprise. So secret, and so well concealed were all their move ments, that none outside of their own flock 'knew aught of their deliberations. mt The first arrival, was borne by a ser- col vant, and the Preacher thinking there n was some mistake, was about sending sp said servant away to another Mr. Boyd, when other servants came, and the good<l Pastor concluded1 to await further de- D velopments. He was not kept long in r suspense. boon the male aind female H members of his congregations began to H come from different directions, and it was then that the "scales" began to drop ffrom the Pastor's eyes, and he saw clearly. Notwithistandinig the inclemn-G t eney of the weather, quite a niumber of' the congregation assembled, bearing their gifts, which consisted in the real G substantials and necessaries of life, such h e as four or tive hams, two barrels flour, equantities of sugar, coffee, rice', grits, &c., amount ing in all to probably over ev *50 in money value which is the least thing about it. Some of our A. R. P. brethren, call this a "house-warming." I prefer calling it a real, genuine heart warming. Oh how the hearts of Pastor and Pastor's wife, and people warm ups 5 and reach far out towards each other on such occasions of manifestations of n g love. The Pastor says, "I was so glad - I could not sleep that night." Giver, are you not more than paid by that one say 1 ing: "Surely it is more blessed to give ~e than to receive." I am glad for your sakes. Rev. Boyd preached his first sermon in Prosperity church about 30 1, years ago, and has served the congrega- to a tion continuously since that time. He re it has had repeated calls to other charges but he and his people seem to be insepa.- ac rably connected. Would that there were a! e more of this love throughout the Chris 's tian Church. 0o rUE am informed that Mr. Jackson ek, who has been quite sick, is re ering from a severe case of typhoid umonia. here was a drove of horses and les in this section last Friday, but account of high prices no one ght any. r.
