While there be was interviewed by a reporter of the News and Courier. In the next issue of the Watchman and Southron this interview will be published. Cattle Disease Investigated A short time ago it was stated in the papers that Mr. Wm. M. Graham of Sumter had re? ported to the Agricultural Department that* he had some cattle sick, and that the disease resembled pleuro-pneumonia. We are glad that the fears of the existence of this terri? ble disease are groundless, as appear from the following,which was published in the Colum? bia letter to the News and Courier on the ? 24th. Col. Butler,, commissioner of agriculture, to-day received a letter from Mr. Benj. Mcinnes, veterinary surgeon of the depart? ment. In this communication Mr. Mcinnes states that he has visited Sumter, where it was reported that cattle were attacked with a disease resembling pleuro-pneumonia. Upon arriving in Sumter he- found that the two animals reported sick had died. He made an examination of their lungs and obtained all the information possible as to the tymptoms exhibited by the animals, and could find nothing indicating pleuro-pneumonia. The animals, Mr. Mcinnes thought, had probably diedfrom spinal meningitis, caused by the ex? ceedingly cold weather of the past few weeks. Sine Die: The correspoadent of the News and Courier from Sumter has given you a black eye in yesterday's issue of that jour? nal in bis reply to your criticism on his state? ment of the tremendos superabundance of la? bor in the county.

Last week the Bishopville Enterprise pub? lished an article beaded "A Horrible Trag? edy." It was a complete sell, and any one ought to have taken it in, but some of the papers in the State bit at it at once, and pub? lished it for bloody news. This week we publish it just for fun. Pretty well done, brother Bowman. You have made a good start, and have "taken in" several contem? poraries with your ''Focks" and "Gannder" homicide. Since the above has been put in type, this week's issue of the Enterprise has come to hand with un explanation of the imaginary tragedy which occurred io Cooterborough. A Horrible Tragedy. From a gentleman wbo lives ir. the neigh? borhood of Cooterborough, we learn of a most terrible tragedy which occured in that section of our country on Monday last, lt seems that Mr. Josiah Gannder, while re? turning from the residence of a neighbor, was waylaid by Mr. Geo. H. Focks, and literally butchered alive. The heartrending cries of Mr. G. were heard by some colored men who were on their way home from church and hastened to his assistance, when the murderer fled, leaving his bleeding victim writhing in the agonies of death. There has been a long-standing feud between the par? ties, but it WHS never thought that it would culminate in such a bloody manner. As the parties belong to an old family, we forbear to make comment, leaving that to the pro? per authorities. At last accounts, the mur? derer had not been caught -Bixhopvillc En? terprise. On last Sunday morning there was an event in Secretary Whitney's family. It's a girl. tmmm ? ? - - Oniy $2.50 a year for the Watchman and Southron and the Charleston Weekly News and Courier.

Mr. Editor: I have read and heard of the terrible winds of the Arctic regions-winds that would cut to the very bone when exposed to the withering blast. It is said that as an additional punishment, the Czar of Russia would march the convicted Nihilists through the winds of Siberia to their destination, and a great many would die from such exposure. Now, Mr. Editor, this would seem to us who live in the "Sunny South" a little hard to realize from our experience, but a ride of 20 miles on the 18th instant, facing the Northern blast of that day, thoroughly convinced your correspondent that wind could do all that was claimed for it. In fact he was getting to the conclusion that he had penned hts last line for the Watchman and Southron, and if it had not been for the kind efforts of one who was moulded in the mould of true woman? hood, serious results might have followed. Mr. Editor, I have heard and read of the good women of long ago, and heard speakers pass encomiums no their perfections, and hold them up as examples for the young of to-day to emulate. Now, while this is all so, there are those in our midst to-day whose lives and hearts are in keeping with sacred writ. Alas I that it cannot be said of all. But a truce. As usual the new year has brought consid? erable cr inges about here io the way of mov? ing. Some of our people have left for good, for other states; others would go if they could, while some say they are going to pre? pare this year to leave "finally and forever." The cause of all this discontent is that things here are going from bad to worse; that the gloom which has long bung like a pall over the farming interest, seems to be getting dark? er and darker, and people want to go while they can see, and where they can see. This is no dark picture ; never in my- life have I seen so much despondency among our peo? ple as to the future. The readers of your paper no doubt appre? ciate the efforts of the proprietor in furnishing them additional reading in the News and Cou? rier at such low rates. The publications regarding cotton transac actions in Charleston are only the more au? dible complaints of what a great many of us have suffered from for years. No wonder there are decimated cotton receipts at that port. The stock law seems to be null and void about here judging from the way stock roam at large. A person should not allow hts stock to trespass upon the good nature of his neighbor without consent. Not much small grain planted-less living ing. A few spring oats will be planted. In my next (D. V.) I will pay my respects to the legislature. IQ common with the rest of your readers, I extend to the Watchman and Southron a happy iiew year. May its position on the great leading questions of the day be ever onward and upward. To those people who believe that wealth constitutes every thing, the following beauti? ful language which concluded the inaugural address of Gov. Tom Seay of Alabama, will be interesting by way of contrast : "We will press forward! in the work of material develop? ment until the State is threaded with railway, pulsates with eleerie communications, and UBtil every inch of ground maintains its man ; but underneath this great structure of mate? rial wealth, even supporting your organic law, must forever abide, as the chief corner? stone of all the moral character of our man? hood and womanhood." "What constitutes a Slate? Not high-raised battlements or labored mound, Thick wall, or moated gate, Not cities proud with spires and turrets crown? ed, Not bays and broad armed ports, Not starred and spangled courts. No; men-high toned men, Aye, and women tool Women like Diana, and men like Christ/" Qui VIVE. LOVE SPEAKS. That was I who spoke to thee When the dusk Spread its wings above the sea, And the musk Of the cloudy China flowers Filled the air with thoughts of bowers. It was not the wind at play ; Nor a bird Started by a dream of day Softly heard ; Nor the outcry of the sea ; It was I who spoke to thee. Kew Orham Times. MOSES OUSTED. The Washington Post bas to reject a great deal of original poetry. Bat now and then the manuscript shows a toncb of genios that makes it irresistible. Such is the following-the first Terse of a bit of history : "Fairos daughter walked down to the Nile Along wid her mades to bathe in stile As she ran long the shore to dbry her skin Her feet hit the basbketthat Moses was in." So poor little Moses was dumped on the shining shore, While in the basket the sea-breeze rocked him to and fro. F. H.
