G u; of and discussed, and an She ( was passed by the Legislature thatmpowering the County Commissioers e of Edgefield and Newberry Counties to re said bridge built. But there the matter ended and nothing further was done. We are glad to learn that the advisa bility of building this bridge at Chap pells is 'again being agitated by the people of that section. It is certainly needed and would greatly help to build up a town at Chappells, and property there would materially increase in value if such bridge were built. It would be a great convenience to the people on the Edgefield side of the river by removing the barrier and the heavy tax in ferryage between them and a good market. The matter we are told stands in this shape at present: Mr. Geo. T. Reid, a large merchant at Chappells, and the Railroad Company have agreed to build the bridge;to the river, which is a considerable distance, and we think a very liberal offer. Mr. W. R. Smith who owns the ferry, for which he paid $1500, offers to give the right of way f-' and ferry for $900. To build the bridge across the river proper will cost probably about $1200, making only $600 to each county, in order to have a free bridge at this place connecting the two counties. it would be worth more than that to Newberry in a shcct time in the increased valua tion of property. Abbeville and Laurens Counties have a number of free bridges across the Salude built by both counties wit"ut the aid of private individus's. We think it is due the two sections of Edgefield and Newberry, and the tax payers who reside in these sections, if they want this bridge that the Ccunty Commissioners of the two counties go to work and build the bridge. WHAT.THE FARMERS SAY. The editor of The Herald and News has had talks with quite a number of farmers recently on the matter of a Farmers' State Convention in obedi enceto the call of Capt. Shell, Chair ? man of the Executive Committee- The vast majority of those we saw thought there was no need for such a conven tion, and only one, so far as we have been able to learn, favors the nomina tion or suggestion of a State ticket for the ratification of the regular Demo cratic State Convention. The con sensus of opinion is that the farmers have a majority, and that they can, if they will to, control the regular Demo cratic State Convention, and put for ward whatever ticket they choose, and bring about the reforms desired in the regular way. Mr. John T. Duncan, who was secre tary of the last State Convention of the Farmers' Association, told us a few days ago that a County Convention would be called, that he was in sympa thy with the proclamation of Capt. SShell, and that he favored the nomina tion of a State ticket at the proposed March Convention, but that if such nomination did not meet the approval of the regular Democratic State Con S vention he wou.ld abide the nomina tions of said regular Convention as a good Democrat should do. Another farmer to whom we talked said: "I do not believe the farmers of the county favor the plan proposed by Capt. Shell. I think the call unwise and impolitic. I do not believe it wise -to nominate a ticket in March." Another very level headed farmer re S marked that if the farmers were not careful the March Conven.tion would be like fire put in an old broomsedge field on a windy March day, anid they would be unable to control it. Then other farmers thought that if a ticket were nominated in March it would have a tendency to prejudicethe friends of the nominees against the ticket. That there is a division of opinion among the farmers as to the advisability of such nominations, and by the farmers showing their hands N this early in the campaign, it would -- give the opposition opportunity to con centrate their forces and defeat the far mers in the regular Convention. These expressions of opinion from leading farmers throughout the county will show the drift of sentiment among the farmers of this county on the March Convention. We have received no notice of a call Sfor a County Convention, but Mr. Dun can said one would be called, and likely for the first Monday in March. The.daily papers the past week have been filled with horrible homicides committed throughout the State. A white man is killed in Chester, a negro in Union and another in Newberry. A white man kills his wife in Charleston and mortally wounds her uncle, while a little boy in Columbia attempts to butcher a school-mate but is pre - vented in the act of giving the finish ing blows. He had the head of his vic tim under his arm and had inflicted ten or twelve cuts in the head, face and back. it is fearful to contemplate this mur derous spirit. Human life seems to be very cheap. There should be a stricter enforcement of the law against mnur der. It seems that a man no more minds shooting down his fellow man than he does a dog. There must be an end to this somewhere. A GOOD REMEDY. The Jonesville Alliance in Union County are said to have adopted the following resolutions at a recent meet ing: Resolved 1. That we will endeavor to gife to our farms more attention the present year than we have in the past, and that we will idle no time that we .an prfiably1 send on ourfarms. That we use all the econom GGVsible and make all honest endeavo: bur meet our obligations promptly. r These are a good set of resolutiol and faithfully followed and made A force by our farmers would prove great blessing to themselves as well to the country at large. We do not mean to say that our fa mers are indolent, but it is a fact, the is scarcely any other business to which a man gave as little attention as son of our farmers give to their farms woul be able to make a living. RE-ELECTION FOR ME, ROTATION FO: - YOU. "Capt. U. W. Shell, who has held th oflice of Clerk of Court for Lauren County for a long time-since 1876 w understand-in preaching the doctrin of rotation reminds us of the good oh lady who, in explaining the doctrine c predestination, said it means 'Electio for me, damnation for you."'-\inn: boro News and Herald. Possibly Uapt. Shell believes in rot, tion which will put himself up a littl higher. That would be rotation of on kind. THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE. The Cotton Plant estimates that tli Farmer's Alliance in South Carolin now numbers thirty-three thousan< The State Secretary's statenment con piled from the county reports for ti quarter ending September 30th, 1881 gave the following membership: Male members over 21 years old...............24, Male members under 21 3 ears old............ 3 Fema'e mnem bers................. ..... T otal...................................................2 , And the beauty of it is that the o ganization is still growing, and becon ing stronger and stronger and moi powerful every day. The Alliance has done a vast deal good. It has caused the farmers I think and act for themselves, an aroused in them a desire to be indepei dent. But if the organization is to li and thrive, and continue to grow, must steer clear of the breakers upo which other similar organizations < the farmers have been wrecked.

He says lie wrote several letters to his Iwife, asking her to return to him but 'e failed to receive any reply. To-night ,e lie called at Feldmlann's and rang1 the "ltt bell at the door adjoining the store. His wife came down stairs to answer the bell, and lie shot her, i ri ng two shots from a pistol that he hii on his person. The people in the store nm . e out, Feldmann in the lead. When a they reached the alleyway lead 1. ing to the second floor of the building 1. they found -Mrs. Levelie lying in a pool of blood. Without saying a word hiu e Levelle turned his pistol on Feldmann od ' and shot him, the ball entering his left breast. By this time a crowd had 1 gathered and the murderer was over- to ;rs powered and sent to the police station. Ito a He was seen by this correspondent Itt - later in the night and asked what his ' motives were for the deed. He replied t v r- that he had no motive, but that lie i- was glad he had killed Feldnann. tt *e At this time both Feldnann and im Mrs. Levelle are in a critical condition. fro The woman cannot live till hiormng.
