WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 8. The Biskopville Post Office Closed. From the Bishoprille Eagle. On Monday labour Post Office was formally closed, by a postal official sect here for that puopose, and oar mail is now left ^a^.another office six miles iuse, as John Wannamaker it, "If the people of Bishop ville will not stand ? negro post master, they will have to do without a "post office." Perhaps a statement of the facts leading op to this will be interesting. Sometime ago Rev. I. H. Miller, a negro preacher was appointed pott master at this place. A few dajs after . he assumed the discharge of the duties of the office, he was arrested upon the, street by the police of the town for carrying concealed deadlj weapons, there being an ordinance of the town prohibiting the carrying of concealed deadly weapons upon the person. Miller was arraigned before .the town council, tried, fo&nd guilty, and fined for the offense. After Miller was discharged by the town authorities, a citixen of the town went before a trial justice and swore out a warrant for Miller for the afore said offense, under the statutes of the State. Miller learning of this, pro posed to this prosecutor if he would withdraw this prosecution, he (Milter) would leave the place. This was agreed to. Accordingly, Miller appointed an assistant post master,?Mr. Scarborough bur former postmaster?teodered his resignation and left here, and thus matters har e remained, until now. We have the spectacle of the United States Government playing the game of**8pite" at a little country *own. Because a negro official, violates State and municipal laws, and is likely to get himself into serious trouble thereby, and to sa v. himself the penalties, which he knows he justly deserves, abandons his appointment, the P. M. Gen. of agreat and powerful government, subjects all the citizens of a town and thickly settled community to the great inconvenience of a want of mail facilities. We suppose if the "Rev." ?. IL Miller had violated every statute law of the State, and every ordinance of the town, the people should have stood mutely aghast and let him alone, be cause he held a post master's commis sion from the great Sunday School lecturer, the Hon. John Wannamaker. If it has come to that, that we must . allow alt manner of violations of law at the bands of some Government pet, or be denied those rights, ~nd privileges and advantages, which under the con stitution a ?. laws, and by virtue of our being tax paying subjects, we are entitled, then we say : "Sweet land of Liberty^ Of thee I?" Don't sing, not now. ANOTHER STATEMENT?THE P". O. DE PARTMENT'S SIDE. . From the Colombia Record. Fofsometime there has been serious trouble brewing at Bishopville, in Snm ter County, about the postoffice there, and- last week it culminated in the dosing of the office, with more trouble in site for some one The facts, as they are now made known* show a condition of affairs that are perhaps without^ a ^parallel in the* istory of Uncle Sam's postoffice de-' partaient. The people of this village have simply refused to recognize the . appointed postmaster of these great United Stetes, and taken the law into their own hands and appointed a post roaster of >heir own, through intimida tion of the regular postmaster, their ap pointee backed by the people refusing to allow a new appointee to take charge. Yesterday Postoffice Inspector W. C. Baird was in the city, and from him the facts as fto why the office had been closed by him last week were learned. This peculiar condition has arisen from the time early last winter when the old postmaster, Mr/It! G.^ ScarBo rough, wsis removed by th? Postoffice Department and a negro, Isaac K Miller, appointed in his place. When the new negro postmaster came to take charge he found his office boycotted and himself in a community that bad no love for him. The people were highly indignant, and for a while the nearer, postoffices were used. Finally, how ever, they grew tired of this and tried lo get the negro to resign, but he re fused. This refusal to tie;? demands made them Luore troublesome, and soon the postmaster and his aesistant found them selves arrested on the charge of carry ing concealed weapons. They were tried in the municipal- court and fined $25. T ley were bound over to appear at the higher court. Shortly afterwards it was proposed to him that if he would recommend the reappoioiment of Mr. Scarborough, the case against him would be dropped in the circuit cot and he would be allowed to go frev With the fear of the penitentiary thus waved in his eyes, the nego relented and he did as ordered. Yes, h j agreed to the proposition, complied with the instructions given, vacated his office, and as it seems, without notifying the authorities at Washington, tnrned his office over to Mr. Scarborough. A short time ago the post office department, becoming aware of this in some way. decided to investigate, and Inspector W 0. Baird was sent down to investigate the matter. He found things just as reported, and the people more obdurate than ever. He so notified the department, and a short Tvhile ago a white man was ap pointed. The name of the new appointee is W. L. Dennis, and he, on receiving tho appointment, went to Bisbopville and tried to qualify and take charge of his office, but be could not, being pre vented by the interference of the people, and his consequent inability to give bis bond. This was another dilemma, and the Inspector went back and tried to settle the matter, but this be found im possible, and finally recommended that the office be closed. Upon bis recom mendation the department acted at once, and be was ordered to close the office. This he did on Monday as stated in the Record. He loaded the contents of the office in a buggy and carried them to Sam ter. Here he turned over all the stamps, envelopes, pouches, etc , to th? postmaster. Further develop* m?nts are expected soon. As a resnlt cf their own acts the people of Biehop ?Ue are without a post ofice, and will rentaro without one until they decide to receive Uncle Sam's appointee. Making the New Metal. Prof. Joseph M. Hirsh, of Chicago, has exhibited the process by which he is enabled to extract al am in um, from clay at s cost of only a few cents a pound. Since the first announcement that the discovery was ms.de the professor bas been completing arrangements to be gin active operations. He has leased two five-story buildings. He claims to have manufactured 2000 pounds of al uminum already, and within a few days the work will have a capacity of this amount every week. "I have solved the problem of ex tracting the m etat from an aaueous so lution," said Profi Hirsh to day; "and the process has been so simplified that it is surprisingly cheap, and requires but little labor. Pure kaolin or clay contains fifty-three per cent, of alum inum. From the clay which I am using l ean get sixteen and three-fifths per cent, metal " The New York Herald, which notices the discovery, says it will be a long time.before the metal will be produced in such quantities as to warrant its gen i ersl use. The Chicago aluminum company is to be -a corporation with $1,000,000 capital stock. Named Them After the Lord. Old Pete Robinson, who lived at Worsbam, Va., is a pious negro, who jogged along with his wife for many years, naming a new baby every year until seventeen unbleached olive branch es bore scriptural names. Then came a surprise. One morning the Presbyte rian minister, while taking his con 8titutial, met Pete. "Good morning, Peter. You seem to be very much pleased at something." "Yes, sah, I is. You see, de oie' 'oman 'creased de family las' night." "Ah, in, indeed ! "Yea, sah, oar's two more little lambs ov the Lord." "Indeed ! ?ad what will you name them?" N "Gwine name'em after the Lord; g wine name 'em Messiah and Hal loway." "Messiah and Halloway ! Where do you get the name Halloway ?" "Hi, man ! Don't de Lord's pra's say 'Halloway be Thy name ?" Thelhlree" C's. From our Blacksburg contemporary of last week we learn that all the rails sufficient, numbering between eighty and nfnety car loads, have been received to complete the Three C's road between Rutherfordton and Marion, N. C, and track laying is being pushed ahead at the rate of a mile per day. It is ex pected that the whole iine will be com pleted and ready for regular schedules to Marion by the 15th iost. Work is progressing very satisfactorily on the Augusta division also.? York Enter I prise. One of the old 4'Confeds" who smelt gunpowder during the war and who is always true to the best interests of the State, said last Thursday : "I can't fjstand Shell any longer A man who wonld Tralk arm io arm with Joe Crews and bolster up his oharacter, while hun dreds of true good men were, crowded in .jails, and then declare that there were worse men to-day in the fourth dis trict that Jce Crews, is not the man for my vote.

Mr. Gray of Laurens,. was a warm friend of Mauldin and had elec tioneered for him. There is a third man who el aimed that he voted for Mauldin. When the vote was counted there was a solitary vote for Mauldin. There were three claimants for the vote and the burning question at Laarens is; "Who voted for Mauldin ?"
