The bonds bear six per cent. interest and the interest thus far saved amiounxts to $1,500.. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other disea.ses put together, and until the last few years was sup)posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro nlounced it a local disease, and pre scribed local remedies, and by Con stantly failing to cure with local treat ment, pronxovnced it incurable. ScienIco has proven catarrhx to be a constitutio nia! disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. . Cheney & Co.. 'Toledo, -Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken'internally in (doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly upon the blood and miucous surfaces of the system.

ROUElRTSON & GILD)El1, The Allanie. Te Newbl erry (ouni yi Alliance held i special meietinig at Newberry oin Monday to consider the <luestionl of a cottoni seed oil mili. In regard to this lie Alliance decided to abandon for the presenit any effort to establish a mill thuroughi the Alliance.

A Fellow Traveller, now in Mississippi, who Was an Eye-Witness to the Tragedy, Relates the Details of Crozier's Death. :ir i O *;ganis has reeiVedl the l lowiitg letter whicht will he read with interest: I the 31:tr \If Newberry a . H., . C., I 1>:u Sir: 'Th.e ecised clipping aljppeared in the Atlatuta ('uO1stitUtion1 and'4 at once arrested the attention of M rs. S. G. Price, the wilow of the writer's brother. She had often heard her husband and inyself tell the sad .torv of the brave nian's death, and kflew at tnec that the subject of this sketci was no other than our comt pai,ion - Crozier, whose first naine I have forgotten, but it e.tn easily be aupplied by" our kinsman, A T1: 3lial, of ''ake Couinty, N. C. Crozier and Arrmead Price were pa roled soldiers. I was a. lad 1.5 years old, arinl had for the past tel years prior to Isfi been with my guardian and uncle, N. Price, inl Wake Coulitv, N. C. Arteml Price, on his release from Fort I elaware, (he and a notiher brother haVinig been surrendered at Appomat toxi came through North Carolina on his way back home to Mississippi. Crozier, a short time before this, in pas-ing through the country on his way to Texas, had found a friend in this 1r. A. T'. Mial, and he had stopped with him several weeks. Mr. MIial gave hinm some clothes and furnished him sonic mnoney to get back to his native State. When these two men left Raleigh in 1863, for their respective homes I joined them, and our trip was uneventful until we reached the interior of South Carolina. The railroads were torn up in places, and we sometimes had to walk from one point to another. On the night before Crozier was killed we had marched all the night long, from sonie point (I don't recollect the name,) to a little place on Broad River then called Austin. As the sun rose we cane in sight of the river, and the sight was so glorious to me, tired as I was, I had a race with poor Crozier down the long bill into the valley. We were all soon bathing in the river. This over, and getting some breakfast, we crossed over to the South side, and there, for the first time, we met this Iowa lady in whose defense Crozier lost his life. At Austin, on the Broad, we found transportation, and the depot agent, or the man in charge there, asked Crozier if he would not take care of the lady as far as they travelled together. We all left Austin together the same evening; and the result is told in this clipping from the Atlanta Constitution. Crozier was tried, condemned and shot without the sanction of law, and it all transpired in the night. We were powerless to help him with this regi ment of negro soldiers under the direc tion of a Federal Colonel as brutal in his instincts as the horde at his com mand. The infuriated creatures crowded men and worren, (after the death of Crozier) about the derot, cursing and vowing that they "had had spne white blood that miorning, and that they were going to have niore." It was several hours before the next train left: Things quieted down, and we were not molested further than hearing some of the most dreadful threats from the blood-thirsty negro women. We went from Newberry to West Point, Ga.; then, I think, to Mont gomery, Ala.; thein up the river to Selma; then to Meridian, Miss.; then via .Jackson, Miss., to our old home, Oxford, Miss. My brother anid I were not in the same car with Crozier when the difli culty with the infaunous negro soldier took place. We occupied that night another car. Crozier, after his iden'tification as the man who cut the negro's throat, was hurried away. Some town official, or county-I don't know which now was notified, and an attempt miade, but a feeble one of course, under the condi tion of affatirs then, to gIve Cr-ozier a proper and legal trial, as he was en titled to have. But before anything could lie done to arrest the judgment of- the court martial, he was shot. (Crozier has an uncle who lived at G;alveston, Trexas, and relatives in some other part of the State. While at his grave, just before he wvas shot, lie wrote Armnead Price a note, giving his uncle's address, and asked him to write his uncle the cause of his (death. It is miy recollection that lie stated in this note that it was hardly day yet, and lie could scarcely see to write. I insti tuted a search among my brother's old1 papers for this note and three letters that lie received from the Iowa lady, one of the witnesses of the beginning of this horrible tragedy. I knew the inme of the Colonel of this negro regiment, but it has escaped I never knew whether the negro died. Crozier cut his throat fronm ear to ear, and he fell at the foot of the car steps as he, Crozier, kicked him down them, hollowing "murder, murder," as he fell. If further information is desird about this true knight it can easily be obtained from Capt. A. Tr. Mial, Shot well, Wake County, N. C. Having my at tentioin called to this clipping by my sister, I deternimined I would write you, that those who in qluired, rmiight learn the name of the hero who sleeps beneath "the little mound near the Cotton Mills in New berry, S. C." Please returii the newspaper clipping as I want to seiid it to Capt. A. T. Mial, of North Carolina, who befriended this man. Respectfully yours, BEM PRICE.

Last week it was reported that Mr. Moorman intended to move the post oflice. A petition was gotten up by Mr. Carlisle to have the office in his present law office.

This petition was signed by nearly every one. showing that the people are satisfied with the present location. If the Postmaster General consults the wishes of the pat rons of the office lhe will ncot consent to its removal. Have you read "Looking Backward" and "Marie Bashkirtseff?"

On the 23rd of June every white teacher in the county will be expected at Newberry to aittend the institute which will continue inl session one week. The institute is for the benefit of teachers, but by benefitting them will be a great benefit to the schools as well. Our common schools must be built up, they must be made better and more efficient, or the object for which they were begun will be only in part attained. The great majority of teachers can not attend normal schools. They have neither the time nor the money to give to this purpose. For such teachers the county institute was begun. While it does not fully meet the wants of the nor[mal, still it helps the teacher a great deal in his work. He can learn much that will be of incalculable good to him in the school room. Every teacher sh)ould feel interested personally in the work that is to be done here in Jiune. He should not feel that the time is to be spent in pleasure alone, but that it is to be given mainly to har d and profitable work. The County Board of Examiners will do all in their power to make the insti tute a succest ~ There will be several lectures at night during the week. Col. Rice, State Superintendent of Education, has promised to be here on Friday the 27th, if it is possible for him to come.

Crosson, of Leesville, has been spending a few days at home. Mr. James D. Kinard, of Newberry College, spent Saturday and Suuday at home. Mr. Editor, we are now enjoying beans.Irish potatoes, pickles, and other garden vegetables, and you may rest assured that we appreciate such good things to eat. What would we do with out a garden'to furnish us such good things to satisfy our palate ticklers. Our farmers have about finished harv'esting, and indeed the grain crops in this entire community are very sor ry. What would we do for bread if it was not for the foreign countries? Our farmers- should not become discouraged at the present grain crops, but strive harder and harder to raise th]eir cake bread at home. A very hard rain fell in this comimu nity oni Monday afternoon, causing land to wash and injuring the crops to some degree. Owing to the abundanice of rain our farmers are getting somewhat behinid with their work. Mrs. J. H. Crosson, of Pidgeroad section, spenit last week in this comn mu nity. A few of our youing p)eople engaged in another game of croquet a few days ago. Such games are always pleasant and enjoyable. Let's play again girls. The school hell is now silent at the academy and we feel a little strange to not hear the familiar sound of the lit tie bell calling the pupils in to their studies. Of course the silence of the bell means a vacation of rest to teacher and pupils. We all like rest, and of course the teachers and pupils of schools do too, and so miite it be. The old reliable Laurens train now passes through this community later in the morning and returns earlier in the afternoon. Tis~ gives passengers a shorter stay in the city, however, the reliable is always on time. The surfacing gang on the C., N. and L. road is now at work in this colmmu nity. We hope to soon see regular passenger trains on the new line. On last Sunday we had the pleasure of listening to a sermon preached by our new pastor, T. 0. Keister, at Grace Lutheran church, Prosperity. The speaker took for his subject the 57 Psalmi and :hl verse, which was wvell handled, and listened to by a large congregation. Si( :A.

There is, I believe, no country -- 00 where men and women go through - er life on such equal terms as France. Iri 'y England (and here again I speak of the nmasses only) the man thinks himself.a ~h much superior being to the woman. It to is the same in Germany. In America it I should feel inclined to believe that a woman looks down upon a man with a certain amount of -contempt.. She re ceives at his hands attentions of all -sorts; but I cannot say tnat I have ever I ed discovered in her the slightest trace of gratitude to man. Will you have a fair illustration of the position of women in France, in j England, in Ainerica? Go to a hotel and watch the arrival of couples in the adining room. In France you will 'e them arrive together, walk abreast to. ward the seat assigned to them, very ill often arm-in-arm. In England you will see John Bull leading the way, fol -lowed by his meek wife, with her eyes cast down.
