At tbe beginning of the war betweeo tbe states, he volunteered in tbe United States army and served to tbe end. His record as a soldier was excellent, and be soon advanced on bis merita to a captaincy, and was after? wards promoted to the office of major for conspicuous gallantry on tbe batr'efield. Col.

Moses was called opou to bold two inquests, one over toe body of Willis Agoew, a oegro convict from York County, who was employed on tbe State farm near Hagood, uoder the man? agement of Mr. McGill. Fram tbe evidence it appeared that Agnew bad resolved to make a break fjr freedom, though it should cost bis life. About six o'clock on tbe morn'og of the 25th, guard Lykes was taking Agoew with other baods to tbe cotton field, when suddenly be dashed away ioto tbe bnshes. The guard could see only the upper part of the retreating figure ao l fired with deadly a:m. Tba ball passed through tbe small of tbe back and entered the abdomen, causing deatb in a very short j time. j The second case was that of H. D.

Whei about fifty yards away they made out the human form and did their best to stop, bot it was too late. The boy was literally cot to pieces and strewn along the track.

Nelson plead guilty and Ross plead not guil? ty. The evidence, boweve., brought out the . fact that Ross was guilty, while Nelson had morely acted in self-defense. Acting Mayor Purdy bad Nelson's plea cbargrd to not guilty, and discharged him. Ross wes fi oed five I dollars or leo days' labor, aod be paid tbe j fine.

A yoong alligator, about 10 or 12 iocbes in length, was picked up 00 Mooday in Sheriff Pierson's garden, and we are curious to know where it ca xe from, or, at least, bow it be? came a trespasser in this bailiwick. It isn't likely that it escaped from some fisherman, for there would bave been inquiry made for a lost alligator ; DOT tb?t il was purposely placed there by its captor, for if be bad be come tired of the reptile be vroold have given it to some friend. At first we thought per? haps alligators were 00 the list of commodi? ties liable to the internal revenue tax, and this one bad beeo tbrowo away to avoid the tax; but this suggestion wa? soon disxissed a? a vain imagination. mm ? - mm - All About An Ox.
