IONIA ALI* BIGHT. Plenty of Hog and Hominy in that Section. IONIA, S. C., Oct , 26, '94. We have had some ver j fine weather for the last ten days, for gathering oar 4 and 5 cents cotton. It is very discouraging, bnt it may be all for the beat in the end, for we have almost made a God of cotton, until it has died on oar hands, and now we will have to resort to something else, which will be hog and hominy for home ase. There are more hogs in oar neighborhood at present than there hare been since the stock law came into force, which is a good sign. Corn, crops are very good, but the pea crop is nearly a failure. The school house near Dr. C. S. Britton's was barned one night last week. Dr. S. E. McCutcben died yesterday morn? ing and was buried this morning. He was sick only about a week or ten days. A beary hail and rain storm has just past. We had two showers of hail. The first was the largest lamps that I ever saw. Hare not heard bow far the hail extended, but the -cloud was very heavy above this place. We expect Miss Grace Jervey, of Sumter, . to teach the Salem school this term. The school session will commence the first Mon? day in November. If politics don't revive we shall forget when election day comes. CapS. Keels is going around collecting taxes, or for that purpose.

A serions shooting affair occurred near Summerton, QB Saturday last, between Milton Br?ggB ?n? Mfinry Jinkeraon, both colored. Tb? two men engaged in a fisticuff previous to th? tbooting, Manly Jinkerson proving the better man of the two. This enraged Briggs to such an extent, being under the influence of "dispensary," or "blind tiger," (we know not . which) that he swore ven? geance and armed : himself with a double barrel shot gun and pursued Jiakerson to his house, where be.totd bim he intended to kill bim, and tried to-induce Jinkersou to come ont of bis house, which, of coarse, he did not do, bat ?ame where. Briggs could see him, and be (Briggs) fired both barrels of his gah into the house, missing Jiakerson, the loads going into tbe walls, whereupon Jinkerson reached a doable-barrel gun which was lean? ing up in the boase and came to the door, emptying both barrels into Briggs' body. The gun waa loaded with small shot, and at a range of about 8 or 10 steps, one load tak? ing effect in Briggs'tace and shoulders, aod the other in the abdomen and legs. From de? scription given your correspondent by Trial Justice Rxchoonrg, Briggs is. well -perforated with small shot from the top bf his head to bis knees ; but still elive. Briggs is regarded a desperate character, when under the in influence of liquor. Trial Justice BJchboarg has Jinkerson in charge, bot it is said bead will be secured for him, aod the preliminary hearing will be held as soon as Briggs gets able to attend-if ever. \ Mr. Geo. E.
