Srde by' side in 'the Spiday ' News yesterday were pnblisij?d.t?e ac counts of '': What' appear to be a brutal murder and a sbauieful assault. , *; 1/ Oa the i)ib instant a white' man, whose name'is not given, shot and kill 'cd a? Colored boy named Bennett, while i?he was quietly working in a field. The 'La?rcnsvill? ?fera?d learns that this killing h thought by "some to have been the outgrowth of a f?ght which the col j ored boy * had had with a white man, while others say that he was killed by the brother of a youug lady about whom j'he **had been usiag some very disre spcctfal laeguage.'* The Herald rises j*tO thepoirit of suggesting ihat, however exasperating a slauder of this sort might be, "it is not best to take life for such an offence!" Our contemporary men tions, also, that this colored boy is the third person who has been assassinated in the Tumbling Shoals neighborhood within the last six months. EL The ..assault which has been men tioned was peculiar in character. A man named Ir.by fancied himself insult ed by -a man named Palmer, and com peUed P?lmer, at the point of a pistol, to submit to a severe whipping at the hands of a uegro whom Irby employed. IrbyV it is said, was implicated iu a murder a few years ago, aad at last ac counts was at large and defying arrest. We are rather carious to see whether Irby is to be allowed to continue to defy arrest. Likewise, whether the murder er of Bennett is to be made known and arrested. Uulcss he h% he must be as sumed to be one of those petty kings or rulers of society who'are hedged iu by a 'divinity which forbide censure or pun ishment. The class, however, is not as Dumetous as it once was." This plain statement of facts tell bow law >? regarded, or rather disregarded by some. Wo suppose that the L?ureos desperadoes are no worse than any one of the other dozen or more unpunished murderers who have dyed their hands in their brother's blood during the last few months; bat that makes it none the less necessary to ask for what our juries do not seem disposed to grant?due punish ment to the mau who kills his felioiv. We are sowing the wind and will cer tainly reap the whirlwind, by eoadon ing oSbocee against law, and tacitly en couraging thein by failure to convict where the evidence is overwhelming. Whenever law fails to make human life sacred, we m ay < assured ?y - look for the rule of the assassin^ and murderer Human oature is too frai^ too passio?r ate to be> safeguard againsj wrong be J^e^in?i^n^^aDj^^^iog strong iHiwre '^cl^gem?fij^e?ded, and Jlo -?tS^e- i ? in the ?aw.^*&ieii says *?a f?e^r a lifeic?

' . ?-?? v To begin ?t tbe beginning:: The Press As seotatiea met at this place on ; Monday, July '13th. I could not leave home unt?l Tuesday, and therefore missed the first, of the meeting. I bad the pleasure of meeting on "the train, coming op, aay old friend Hugh Wilson of tbe Abbeville Press and Banner, and Major McLucasj>f the Lanrens Merchant and Farmer, who were, tike myself, bringing up tnerear, and wejhad a pleasant fraternal chati The traiu reached :here sooe after 3 o'clock and we found street cars aod vehicles of other kinds in a?undacce at the Depot. We pre ferred the street, cars, .and being told that most of tbe-Pr?ss Gang were stoppi g at the Mansion House, we got out at that place. This being my-first visit to tbe Association, I waS somewhat ?f a stranger j but it does not take?ong to break the ice on such occa sions.-tOne of the first old acquaintances I met was Col. Pope of the--Columbia Reguter. who was under the escort of the local corres pondent of that paper and was on his way to look at -the vinyard of Mr. Carpio, a French man who settled about three miles from the city a few years ago and commenced the-cul tivation of grapes/The ride was very refresh ing, and just tbe thing to brace one up after a days trip oa the cars. Returning, we reached the .city in time to get supper and attend the meeting of tbe Association, at wbic?s the ann??l address^was made by Capt. T. H. Clarke, of the Camden Journal. Tbe Captain is a fine speaker, and his address? subject journalism?was good. After the ad dress a short business meeting was held, at .the conclusion of which we adjoorned t? the Eicbange Hote?, kept by Captain White, where a svperb collation was tendered by the Association. Tbe programme next day was a trip to Piedmont factory, some ten miles below Greenville, dinner at the hotel there, after which another' trip further down to Pelser Factory. These are both Urge Factories, sit- ^ oated o? the Saluda River, which is the line between Greenville and Anderson Counties, Pjedmont beiog on the Greenville side and Pelzer in Anderson. Col. Hammet and bis assistants, the Messrs. Sloan, were polite aod attentive, showing us through tbe mill and tendering us the use of their office for holding our last meeting at which we elected officers for the ensuing, year and adjourned sine die, as far as business was concerned. Col. Crews, of the Laurens Herald, who has been Presi dent of the Association for six years, was ten dered a re-election and warmly urged to re-, main in office, but declined., whereupon the following were elected : J President, .Msj. M, B. McSweeny, of the ? Hampton Guardian; Vice Presidents, T. fl. Clarke,yof the Camden Journal, and C. W. i Petty, of tbe Carolina Spartan; Chaplain, | the Rev. Sidi H. Browne, of the Christian i Neighbor; Recording Secretary, J. ?. Bonner, ? of ihe Associate Reformed Presbyterian; Cor responding Secretary, J.'S. Per'rin, of the !

B.mhara, of tbe Abbeville Mie enger. Maj. McSweeny, of the Hampton Guardian, our new President is a stirring young man who has built himself and paper up by energy and perseverance ?? he is as popular at home as in the Association?of which I have no doubt for he desrves it?you will hear more of htm. Al Pelzer we were met at the Depot by the Presiden?, Captain Ellison Stnythe, and were conveyed in cars upo<i a short Railroad down to the Factory, After going through it we were conducted to ?he office and refreshed with kind attention, icecream, &c, 4c. The people drawn together at each of these Factories constitute vi?Hges of about 1500 population, *:id are supplied with churches and schools by their respectire companies. I am sorry time and space prevent going more into details. We returned on the up-train in the after noon, and on arrival at the Depot our pnrty divided and were conducted to several points of interest of which I have not time now to speak. We were during this day the guests of the citizens of Greenville, under theespecial care of Col. J. A. Hoyt, of IhtBapUsl Gjurier, Mr. A.B. Williams, of tbcJVetbr, and Mr. J.C. Bailey, of the Mountaineer, and at night were entertained by u banquet at the Mansion House, at which speeches and toasts were in dulged in. There were about 20 members of the Asso ciation in attendance, besides a number of ladies. The next day was a general break and only about 13 remained to go on the trip to Cesar's Head; which I must leave for another letter. Tins morning another break takes place? all going home except Mnj. McSweeny and your humble servant, who will take 10 Glcun Springs for a few days. Yours, N. G. ?. Euckien's Arnica Salve.

Crops are^grpwing finely. Fruit is decaying and falling off?due to ex cessive rains. Mr.Jtfobley has recently lost a child 13 years of age. Air. John Ballard, oneof our oldest citizens, is very ill. He received a fall and his recov ery ?3 doubtful. - A negro man on the plantation of Mr. W. R. DuBose is repotted to be dangerously in sane. He was chained down at last accounts to keep him from doing injury to himself and others. I do not think the case has been re ported. The restrictions of the law, in such cases, are an injustice to a scattered commu nity, who have not th? protection afforded a town or city. One of these poor demented creatures will commit a heinous crime before be is considered a fit subject for the Asylum, if he is so fortunate as to escape the rope or shotgun. In your paper of 7th instant, appeared an article from Catcball beaded^ "A Batch of Criticisms." Certainly "C." must be a new subscriber, or a non-reader of your valuable paper, to pop,up at this late day in defence of the present absurd mail route. He, in re ferring to the decrease in the amount of mail matter received at the Sumter P. 0., said, "You allege as one of the effects of the change of the distributing point, the inconvenience of the people on the new route." Any pat ron of this office will agaee with you. "C." says, "it is certainly not, as regards the line from Stateburg to Catchall and Providence." Is '-?" not aware of the inconvenience ? doubt if the border States have not better mail facilities. Mail from local points are 4 days on the road, and "C." will observe this fact by examining the date of his paper. It is an injustice to the publishers of our enter prising local papers. -The present route is a fraud and should be speedily abated. The former route worked in accord with every patron of this office?the mail from Charles ton, Columbia and all local points via Sum ter, arriving at this office in the flft^miMP "C." admits that "a ",;"^ A 7 ~ present arraD gemeo^^3?g?ye ? aj] ?e. sired dispateb/??^we do not 8ee aDy changecouJ^dd t0 ;he f^cilitjr 0f the former ro?^&r^!a^Ptition has been signed, and I flope to see the present route soon abolished and a speedy and permanent change to the former. MC.V advises your correspondents to con dense, "Let the motto be much in little." We have been impressed that the beaoty of letter writing consists in brevity, and extend thanks to "C." for the advice, .but it is very certain that we can not refer to his communi cation of the 7th instant for an example. VOX. Commencement Address. W? have received a copy of the address de livered t>efore the Anderson Female Seminary at its Commencement last June by Rev. L. ?. Bleckley of Georgia. The entire address is in rhyme, and despite its poetical attire is full of practical common sense. In speaking of education, he says : The highest use of education, Of study and of cultivation, ?3 not to furnish clothes and rations, Nor to lead in" taste and fashions, But to rule the life and passions. To see a little lady raving, Storming, stamping and behaving In a manner as ridiculous As a daughter of Old Nicholas,,. Is to all a demonstration That she lacks true education. She may, indeed, have been to school, Indeed, she may have graduated, But that will not affect the rule j She is not fully educated. And again: A few survive who still beitele In learning how to warp and weave ; Or, at the least, to card and spin, And would throw out grammar and take these in. Were the question left to me, ; Elective should these branches be ,? O?d studies, now so rare as these, To all the classes should be free ; In them I would con fer degrees, Bat leave to take them those who please. Aud yet I feel?shall always feel, Profound respect for the spinning wheel ; And I like to see a shed or room Devoted to the old, old loom ; A pleasant sight beneath the stars, To me, is a pain of warping-bars ; And a stealthy tear my eye invades When I chance to look at winding-blades. My thoughts go Back from books and schools, And I blow in the quills and roll the spools, And live again with the dear old souls That carded the wool and the cotton rolls. Homespun, shirting, stripes and jeans, I rank with jowl and turnip-greens ; And fixer clothing is to me Dessert for dinner, cake for tea. - But let old-fashioned fabrics go, Since those who made them could not Stay; No doubt 'tis better, better so, For works and workers have their day, And pass like shadows, pass away. But those old weavers to forget! No, no, dear hearts, not yet, not yet! The wearers left still know your worth, And green will keep your deeds on earth? Not long, not long ! a few years more, Then follow you to the other shore. Wesleyan Female Institute, Staun ton, Virginia.

Ttiere is perhaps no disease so prevalent as dyspepsia or indigestion, and one too, that up to the present time, has bafiled the skill of the most eminent Physicians. Two-thirds of the chronic diseases have their origin in dys pepsia. The sy m tons are loss of appetite, loss of flesh, a feeling of fullness or weight in the stomach, occasional}' nausea and vomit ing, acidity, flatulence, dull pain in the head, with a sensation of heaviness or giddiness, irregularity of bowels, low spirils, sleepless ness, sallow skin, derangement of kidneys, and not uufrequently palpitation of the heart. If you are suffering with any of these symp toms DR. HOLT'S DYSPEPTIC ELIXIR Will Cure you. For sale by Dr, A. J. China. Physicians are invited to call and see formula. Mannvilie Items. Manxville, S: C.j July 20, 1885. Mr. Editor: I for one protest against "C.'s" suggestion, and your concurrence with him in the matter of limiting' ourselves to short articles. You can't imagine, Mr. Editor, bow huge one feels when he reads bi3 effusions in print, or you would rule otherwise. Do not mind about the patience of your readers so long as your correspondents are thus reward ?ed for their efforts.. The job for rebuilding the two bridges at Garter's Crossing was knocked down to the lowest bidder, Mr. Nat. Baroett, atS245. The pointers-have been distributed.over the County by the Commissioners. They are in accurate in many instances where the dis tance is short, but where it is say 8 or 10 miles they are pretty correct. The distances were measured from a map. The Commissioners seem to have on their war paint because of the continued tresspass upon the roads. They will bave the hands ordered out for three days during the first week in August, and overseers will be instructed to put the roads in first class fix, plowing up such crops as are within the limits of the road and level ing the land. They reported at their meeting at this place last Wednesday thatone party living near here is.not only cutting a ditch entirely iu the road but is also throwing the same in a bank further into it. We had much rain about a week since. Crops continue to do well though the cool spell about the 1st of July produced lice on cotton. The name of book agents is legion. Give us a rest from them.
