Our friends in Williamsburg I
have kept hitting at that Macon J
Lesesne case so ihat they have at j
Jast made the shenJt write- uiej
viovernor that lie will write full i
particulars.. Now. we are-sorry to J
?ee this matter pustied to such an i
extent. CX' course, if the sheriff
did really allow the negro to gel
away from the reach of both
law and vengeance we think thp
matter ought to he attended lo.
but if things have been quietly j
adjusted without noise, tuss on
scandal we think that the present i
stirring up is very ill-timed. It i
seems to us tbatj he sheriffhas man-:
aged to convince everybody who'
was really concerned in the mat -!
ter that there was no occasion lor
any turther excitement. However.'
w.e may be mistaken.

J lie foregoing tnusion irvui \u*
Florence Daily Times would be1
mildly amusing, if it did not reler
to a matter just now uppeimost in
the minds ol our people, in which
there is not a single element of
amusement. The Times inslnu-.
ates that the negro Lgsesnc has
been put to death in some rays-,
terious manner, probably by the
method of ^walking the plank"
so liirillingly described by itsim
aginative young friend J'rmii this
county some time age. Z% seems
to the Tinves that Whe shenSJias
mauaged to. convince everybody
who was really concerned; ui*.me
matter that tbcre,was no occasion
for further excitement." That
being the case, the editor of the
Tiqies must be the only person
"really concerned i? the matter"'
As a saying clause? to. this
luminous .r.rtiole the Times modestly
admits the possibility of iVs
being mistaken. With this, we
most heartily concur.

Arbor Day at Wavside,
Arbor day was fittingly observed
at Wayside school house.
Early in the mornirg every |
boy came to school armed with axe, j
hatchet, hoe or rake, the girls
lending their aid with brooms and j
sweet* faces to inspire the boys to
cheerful industry. The observance
of Arbor Day is required un-j
der the public school law, and on j
this occasion the work was faithfully
performed. LaJeron we expect
and hope for a visit from the
patrons and friends of t Ire school)
to see what we have donev as well;
as to show their interest in the j
school..
We are underlie tutelage of an I
old veteran teacher, a faithful |
servant in the cause,, and we all
respect him. for his firmness and
love him for his untiring efforts for
our improvement.
The school is progressing n'cely,
and we lmpe to make a good record
before the term closes. We
are twenty miles from, the railroad,,
but we hens twice a week j
the steamboat whistle as she pliesi
hnr trnv silrsny ihg waters ot his-1
toricold Black Mingo-creek. Oilier
sounds, too, cheerily wake the
echoes and relieve the monotony
of country life. At early dawn
the voice of the ploughman is
heard as he begins his daily task;
the hunter's horn, and the deepmouthed
hounds tell their story
of a night 's sport in chase of sly
Reynard,or the pursuit of a.coon
or 'possum, to his lair.
This is the season when, farn
life is most attractive.-.The planter
has sold, his produce al a fair
p/ice and is content.
Best wishes to you,.Mr. Editor,
| and success to Ike Counts Rej
