There are many strange things hap pening these days, but we don't pro pose to let Georgia have all the glory of the supernatural. South Carolina must have her share and New berry a slice. From the day those devils were ast into the sea to the time that that ghost was seen on the bill of Blue Ruin, and since, fantastic, grotesque and gruesome bhapes or vapory sub stances have beed seen or imagined or felt by the superstitious or reflected by hallucination, from the North to the South Pole and from Beaver Dam tL Coosaw. We don't have to call up spirits from the vasty deep now when we want to be entertained in a ghastly ghostly though friendly maniner.

Witchcraft and hoodooisru in the land have evolved into a higher state of civilization and the mysterious is now conducted with professional polish in many parts of the couutry. Still, a few things occur which have a mysteriousness about them, L. say the least, if and when they are true. The "seances" have commenced in Newberry County and the spirits seem to have materialized, so it has been reported to the reporter. Giles Sligb is a colored lad about 12 >r 13 years old, living in the "Fed" Dominick section, near the Laurens line, and is said to have demonstrated the fact that he is possessed of some power outside of that given to the or dinary individual, unless there is some thing wrong in the matter. Giles was in a field on the Griffin place, near by, last Thursday morning, pulling fodder with Mart Wheeler, also colored, when all of a sudden rocks of various sizes egan falliqg around them. Mr. Wal lingsee hearing of it went over to in vestigate the matter, and to his amaze nent found the facts as reported. He muld not see where the rocks came rrom. The hidden and unseen part of the transaction was to him like the wind which "bloweth where it list th," while he "heareth the sound thereof," he cannot toll "whence it ometh nor whither it goeth," except he knows that one of the rocks struck him on the head. He knows that. The next day the boy was at Mr. Burr Werts', the old Anderson place, about three miles distant, when the rock throwing feat was again accomplished. It is said the boy can call up the rocks at any time wherever he goes. These incidents can be vouched for y reliable parties. Let the rock showers continue.

The game of ball to have been played etween the Newberry and Monticello eams, on the grounds of the Broad River (Jerusalem Street) nine, failed o materialize on account of the heavy ownpour of rain on the 14th instant; ut the bit of "friendly instruction" illed for the 15th rolled in on time, uch to the surprise of the "Israel Ites," who were extremnely short of layers-having only two of their reg lar nine within reach. But in order o show some appreciation of the diffi ulties through which Mouticello had ome, a nine was hastily caught up nd playing began about 3 p. m. Although the "Israelites" deported hemselves very handsomely for the first two innings, holding the score within the realm of respectability, still it was evident that they were not "in it" by a handsome majority; so much so, indeed, that the game canged from a basis of contention to ne of admiration at the superb play ing of the Fairfield boys. It was instructive to see the boys trying to book one of Hanahan's in terrogation points or divine the matter between his parentheses. Score: Monticello,41; Jerusalem, 0. After such a send-off I do not think that the "Lost Child'n" will think of accepting a challenge from anything hort of New York or Chicago.

Knocked Down by a Cable Car and Dragged Along the Streets-Injuries Painful, but not Believed to be Serions Resting QUetly. [Special to News and Courier.] WASHINGTON, August 21.-Congress wan Shell was knocked down by a cable car-in Pennsylvania avenue to night, and sustained painful if not serious injuries. He was on his way to the Capitol to attend a night session on the silver bill and listen to a speech against the repeal of the Sherman Act, by his young colleague, Mr. McLaurin. Capt. Shell intended to take a cable to the Capitol, so be left his hotel and proceeded to the middle of the avenue to await for a Capitol car. Instead of taking his position on the off side of the track he stood between the tracks. An up and a down car came along, and he was caught bet ween them. He was knocked down and dragged several feet by the car. The accident took place in front of the Metropolitan Hotel, and the side walk was lined with people waiting to welcome home the District militia, wbo bad just returned from a successful rifie contest at Seagirt, N. J. Several persons ran to Capt. Shell's assistance, and he was carried to his apartment in the Metropolitan Hotel. His clothes were torn and he was bruised about the head and face. His shoulder was also strained, and he re ceived a general shaking up. Upon examination it was found that Capt. Shell had sustained no internal injuries, and Dr. Walsh informed me that he did not believe his patient was seriously injured. When I saw the Captain in bed he was unable to talk to me, as the doctor had directed that he should not be dis turbed. He seemed to be in consider able pain, but the bruises upon his face and head were not ugly. He complains of a severe pain in his chest, but other wise he is resting quietly at this hour, 11 P. M. R.M.L GOVERNOR TILLXAN AT THE FAIR, He Is Introdnced to the National Cotn nilesion and Makes a Speech. CHICA(o, Aug. 19.-Two receptions were held in the rooms of the national commission in the Administration building at the world's fair yesterday. Governor Tillmap, of South Carolina, who accompanied the Augusta Exposi tion delegation, was recognized offici ally by the commission. He was in troduced by State Commissioner Roach and presented by Vice President Penn and was greeted with applause. Governor Tillman congratulated the commission and officers upon the grandeur of the exhibits and regretted South Carolina's absence. "Crossing a thousand miles of this grand country of ours from the Soluth A tlantic to the shores of the Northern lakes, one must feel that we have a grand country, grand in its size, grand in everything, and it makes anybody, let him come from where he may in the United States, feel proud to say 'I am an American.' I do not hesitate to say withiout flattering you in the least, that God appears to have picked this saot out to bemi the future the hub of orth America, the center of thought, wealth, progression, plu".k and energy; and I make the prediction to-day that in less then twenty-five years you will have more people in Chicago than any ciy on the American continent, if not in the world.". In closing, Governor Tiliman ex pressed his conviction that great good would grow out of the Fair. There had gathered in the room while Governor Tillman was speaking, a very large delegation from the Augusta expo sition. Fusily seventy-five representa tive ladies and gentlemen from Augusta were there and it was probably a novel scene to have so many ladies gathered -in this room during a sitting of the body.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Wirepull ing is the order of the day in politics. Washington is continually alive with the ingress and egress ot candidates. Some arrive in the city as office hunt ers who-deny their mission to the ap pointing powers; they ostensibly go on some other business in adjoining cities, but make it convenient to slip into Washington and "see the President," or the Postmaster-General, as the case may be. Some are Aonest enough to state their mission. But they cannot all succeed as a matter of fact. Many in all the States of the Union are still to be disappointed.

Ralroad Can Bring Liquor Into the State. GREF.NVILLF-, S. C., Aug. 21.-Tb4 decision of Judge Simonton in thi United States Circuit Court in tht habeas corpus case of Langford wat tiled to-day. Laugford is the agent of the Rich. mond and Danville Railroad at Pros perity, in this State. He was arrested and held under the twenty-fifth sec tion of the State Dispensary liquor law for delivering to the consignee a keg ol whiskey shipped from outside of this State. The section referred to forbids any common carrier to transport, or any agent to deliver, packages of liquor which have not the official certificate of the State's Dispenser that they are ifor the State Dispensary. The railroad company claimed that this section was contrary to the interstate commerce laws and the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The State claimed that it was the exer cise of its legitimate police powers. Judge Simonton's decision briefly synopsized is as follows: The twenty fifth section of the Dispensary Act makes it a misdemeanor for a rallroad employee to deliver any intoxicating liquors from his train, and without re quiring knowledge on his part that the package contains intoxicating liquorsor that it is intended for sale. In every other instance mentioned in thissection, including private carriers and railroad and expresscompanies, knowledge that the intoxicating liquor is intended for sale is expressly required. This is a discricm ination against one class of peo ple-railroad employees-andis in con' flict with theConstitutionof thisState; and so not within its police powers and therefore Dot within the provisions of the Act of Congeess known as the Wilson Act. This being the case, the clause of the twenty-fifth section of the Dispensary Act, under which the petitioner was charged and arrested, is void u%der the interstate -commerce law and the fourteenth amendincut. He must be discharged from custody. The State will piobably appeal to the United States Supreme Court. The decision will cause the discharge of several railroad agents in various parts of the State that have been ar rested as Langford was. The railroad people claim that it virtually relieves them of restrictions in bringing into the State and delivering liquor. For Sale.

Halfacre and Miss Bettie Maybin-all of New berry County. DEATHS. Mrs. Thos. F. Harm6n died early yesterday morning of rheumatism of the brain. She was an amiable and kind hearted lady and leaves hus band and a sweet little daught4r to mourn the irreparable loss of wife and mother. Dr. Thomas W. Boozer died pn the 21st instant, aged 73 years. Dr. Boozer was a graduate of the Charleston Med ical College in the class of 1840, and enjoyed a large and lucrative practice of his profession for about twenty-five years, when his health gave out andI he retired to the quietude of his farm. -He was an honorable citizen and was buried at Smyrna yesterday. Miss Sarah A. Fritz, formerly of Co lumbia, died on the 18th instant, of consumption, at the home of her niece, Mrs. A. C. Jones. Her illness, of long duration, was pa tiently and submissively borne, look ing for the end as but the sweet going home, where so many loved ones were waiting. Her pure-spirit was ready fox the heavenward call for her life had been a consecrated one. A devoted member of the Methodist Church, she manifested in her daily living the true spirit of Christ-faith, humility, charity-and in each of the shining virtues she tave evidence of her sincere piety. Her gentle, sympathetic r,ature en deared her to all, and her influence will ever be felt by those who honor and cherish her memory. Her remains are sweetly resting in Rosemont ceme tery and the imperishable soul is in paradise joyously waiting the first res un ection,which will be of the glorified spiritual bodies of the sainted dead.
