The complaint is general #froro dispensers throughout the State that the State dispensary ships them brands of bqucr that they do not order and for which they have little demand. Tbe p*M&istence with which this is done bas led some of the county dispensers to conclude that there must be a motive in it, and some advantage to those who hare charge of filling the orders of the county dispensers.

Theie is no trouble to sell j corn, the only truuble is to get enough to i supply the demand.

The promoters of Lee County, of which Bisbopville is to be the county seat, are com? pleting tbeir arrangements for tbe election wbicb they believe will be ordered at an early date. The prospects for success are very en? couraging and Lee county will meet with; a more fortunate fate iban did its predecessor, Salem county. It would be a good idea for the committee in charge of Lee county to have a large map of the proposed county made and file it in tbe Clerk cf Court's office so that all persons interested may inspect it and familiarize themselves with the boun? daries Unless tb?3 is done many who will be entitled to vote will not not know wheth? er tbev are within cr without the new coun? ty. It would also conduce to tbe same end if they would prepare and publish a concise statement of the lines and boundaries of tbe new county. Sheriff Pierson returned Monday after? noon from Palatks, Fia, with Goamodore Cooocil, the murderer of Edmund Singleton. Council ai first denied bis identity, and claimed to know nothing of the crime of which he is guilty, but finally admitted that be wss the Commodore Councit wanted. He said that he bad seen two men from Sumter, who recognized hitor- since be hus been ia Florida, and be knew that ihe white man was not mean euough to give him away, and the negro must have bc-en the one to put the sheriff cn his track. Council ba? had little io ?jay about tbe crime, and it is d:fncult to piedict what defense he will set up when be ?9 brought to trial. DRIVEN INSANE BY TEBROR.

Cooper shot at both Mr. and Mrs. Baker, who were standing oe their piazza, and terrified tbem exceedingly. Mrs. Baker bas never recovered from the nervous condi? tion into which she was thrown by the hor? rid tragedy, and bas ^r-tdually lapsed into complete insanity. Recently her condition has become such that theie was no alternative save to send her to the asylum where she can be kept under iroper res?r??i'tt ard receive the treatment that may possibly restorer he meota! health.
