PRISONERS BREAK JAIL. - Three Prisoners Make an Assault on Old Man Martin-They Leap from Third Story---Two Get Away. Yesterday afternoon at six o'clock the alarm of fire was sounded which brought out the fire department. No fire could be found. The supposed alarm came from the: neighborhood of the jail. A representative of The Herald - and News made his way in this direc tion and found that three negro pris oners had made an assault on old man Martin when he went up to feed them, and attempted to take from him his knife. He says they knocked him down and attempted to throw him from the third story window but he grasped the lightning rod and swung on to it. Two -of the men, Silas Kennedy and Doug las Caleman, leaped from this window to the ground, a distance of 45 or 50 feet. The prisoners were John Payne and Silas Kennedy, awaiting trial on the charge of forgery, and Douglas Cole man, under sentence of death, being convicted at the last term of the Court of the murder of Ike Boozer. The other prisoners in the jail, Richard Wood ward; charged with L'rse stealing, and John Payne, made no attempt to es cape. Kennedy made his escape. Coleman was found lying on the ground, we suppose, pretty badly hurt, although we could not learn last night the extent of his injuries. Our County Officers.

His sub ect was the triumph of Gideon, with ais three hundred men, over the migh ;y hosts of the Midianites. His points Lnd applications were both forcible Lnd beautiful. Thanksgiving day was observed here ast Thursday with becoming rever nce. The stores were all closed dur ng the whole day. The religious ser rices in Grace church were largely at ended, Rev. M. J. Epting delivered a ery appropriate sermon. The day ap )eared like Sunday. So mote it be. A pleasing and enjoyable season came )ffat the room of the Y. M. C. A. on ast Thursday night. The young men nade a social meeting or gathering at ,hich young and old were invited. Juite a number of ladies availed them ielves of the opportunity and imadc verytbing pleasing and int-resting. [he meeting was opened with praser >y Rev. A. J. Bowers, which was fol owed by several sweet strains of music >y audience. Rev. A. J. Bowers and sir. A. G. Wise then each read a suita >le selection for the occasion, both of vhich were well rendered. After this L11 parties entered fully into the social 'eature of the evening. It has been a ong time since we have had such real enuine laughing and enjoyment. The mjoynent was not confined to the few, >ut all were brought under its benign nfluence, and were filled to overflow ng. It was nearly 11 o'clock when we udjourned sine die, as a statesman vould say, and all went home feeling ;hat the evening had been well spent. Smokey Town is somewhat noted fo ragedies and sensations. Just now the )ld town is not quite happy and serene. Chis time Butler Banks is not the sub ect of this business transaction, but he object. Butler seems to have been a rery prominent figure in all of Smokey [own's dark business transactions; the eading spirit of dark and devilish deeds n that community. This time the ables were turned, and Butler is the bject of foul play. On last Saturday ight as he wa~s going home, from 'rosperity, he was shot by soie party, inknown to this deponent, from am ush. One shot took effect'in the left iand, and is a severe and painful vound. Another shot, and one that vould probably-hbav6 proved fatal, was >revented from entering his chest by a >iece of sole leather which he had un ler his arm. The fellow wvho did the hooting certainly meant business and iis shots were wvell aimed, but failed to 2ave the desired effect. The readers of ['he Herald and News may expect to 2ear from this historic section again as oon as Butler can make the necessary octurnal peramnbulations. YUBE. A Sad Story. The child coughed.

Farmers are about through sowing wheat. The early sowing. of oats is looking splendid. Mr. M. L. Strauss has returned from Orangeburg. Mrs. Lizzie Hunter,who returned last Sabbath from a visit to Rev. Mr. Sligh's family, will go back after this week to spend the holidays there. Our friend -, near the Ridge Road church, knows how to save wheat. He just leaves it in the field. I don't think there will be any diffi culty in procuring hands for another year. Some of the negroes are coming around trying to make contracts. We are having beautiful weather, and have quit fretting over the election, hoping that everything will move on quietly. What with the fruits of hog killing time, an occasional rabbit, par tridge and the luscious persimmon, a man ought to brace up and step lively. A good many of our boys went to Newberry saleday and brought the ef fects of the bone-yard back with them. So far as I know no one in this see tion observed thanksgiving day. There is to be some moving of the whites in this section of which I will apprise you later. We regret to learn of the extreme ill ness of Dr. Berly. I noticed in your last issue, Mr. Edi tor, that resolutions were passed at the late meeting of the Board of Trade, re questing the General Assembly to pass a road law for Newberry County, simi lar to the Murray Road Law. I am as much in favor of good r'oads as any man, but I do not favor a few individ uals recommending the passage of laws over the people when they are not ready for them, and perhaps do not want them. Probably it would be best for every shoe-maker not to go beyond his own last. But if the law' is passed I hope the Board of Trade will send a re-inforcement to No. 10, as there are almost as many roads down here as there are hands. Last Saturday and Sabbath we were again afforded the pleasure of visiting in the Mt. Tabor section and spending a night very pleasantly in the family of. our pastor, Rev. J. A. Sligh. Mr. Sligh is truly hospitable and always considerate of his people's temporal and spiritual wants. His conversations are so helpful always. He is a practical and enthusiastic farmer, and is train ing his children to respect labor and not look upon it as degrading. Our country would be far more prosperous if every parent would teach his children to earn their bread by the sweat of their brow. We can't all be professional men, merbants and mechanics, somebody must till the soil, so let us teach our children how to labor on the farm. SOMETIMES. Y. M. C. A. Meetings. The Members Monthly Meeting held this evening at 8 o'clock, is the first one for two months. But pleasent as they were, unavoidable circumstances prevented their being held, still we hope that nothing will prevent their be. ing held regularly here after. The meeting this evening will be. of peculiar interest. After a short busi ness programme consisting of reports and general work, and tbe election of new members, Prof. Voigt, of New berry College will deliver an address before the Association. The Associa tion was fortunate to secure Professor's service, and our members will enjoy something nice in hearing him. Any members or friends of the association will be heartily welcome, and as we desire to make the meeting enjoyable our lady friends are most cordially in vited. The Young Men's Meeting Sunday afternoon will be conducted by Col. J. R. Leavell. The meeting lasts just 45 minutes, and young men will find there a comfortable seat, warm room good singing, interesting taflks, and friends to welcome them. Come with us. T. J. N.

EDITOR HERALD AND NEWS: It is said that the Town Council of New berry is urging the Board of Health to declare that hog pens are productive of disease, withi a view to passing an ordi nance preventing hogs from being kept in the town from April to November. This would be a great hardship to the people, as many poor families raise nearly all of their meat, or at least a great part of it. The present ordinance fixes the size of the pen at not less than 20 by 40 feet, this is wise and meets the case fully. It is hoped that the Board of Health- will not recommend any change and that our people will be at least allowed a living chance. MEDICUS. A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. A Little Girl Burned to Death in a Cotton Field. MOUNTVILLE, Laureus Co., Dec. 1. A most distressing accident happened near this place yesterday. A little 9 year-old daughter of Mr. David Burn sides, one of our most prominent citi zens, had gone out to the field where her brother was picking cotton. It was a cold day and the cotton pickers had a fire convenient. The unfortunate little girl was standing near the fire ] when her dress caught, and she was burned so terribly that, notwithstand- r ing she had the best medical attention I and skill, she died last night. Her father was in an adjoining field, and, hearing her screams, ran to her assist ance, and was himself severely burned about the hands and arms. Death of Edgefield's Oldest Lawyer. EDGEFIELD, S.

The Star publishes the statement on good authority that President and1 Mrs. Cleveland wilitake an European trip next year, starting in June. France, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden, Italy and Spain are to be visited in the order named. Probably the winter will be spent in San Remo or Nice.

James Duff and Clanton Turner, of Spartanburg County, S. C., young white men, were in a party of bird hunters November 30.

RIoger Q. Mills has returned to Wash ington, but in no mood to grapple with the responsibilities and cares of legisla tion. He says himself he is in a wretch ed condition, physically and mentally; but he looks like a strong and healthy man. He says, howev'er, he has not yet recovered from the illness which p rostrated him early in the summer. It left his nerves shattered .and his system weak. The arduous work of the campaign did not help his condi tion any, and now nearly a month after the election he complains of being as miserable as before. Hre can't sleep, and has frequent fainting spells. He says it is a bad case of nervous prostra tion. The leading steel manufacturers from Boston, Worcester, New York and De troit, have' been inspecting the plant, now in full operation, erected at Springfield, Ohio, by M[r. B3ookwalter for the manufacture of steel in accor dance with the new process recently introduced by him into this country, and by which~ steel of all grades, equal to the best now in the market, is pro duced in ten minutes' time (after leav ing the cupola) from crude iron, at an astonishing low price when compared with other well-known processes now generally used. It is confidently pre dicted by competent judges that this new discovery will revolutionize the manufacture of steel in this country, as it already has in France and Belgium to a great extent.
