SMTTHvTLLE.
Smithville, S. C., Oct 1.-The
High School opened today with Prof.
35. S. Leighner in charge, assisted by
lOss Minnie Ryan. Professor Leigh
? aer was in charge of this school last
-year and gave such satisfction that he
was re-elected for this year. He is
from near Pittsburg, Pa. This is the
first year here for Miss Ryan. She
3s a Winthrop College student of last
term, and her home is Edgefield. She
3s also a niece of Senator Tillman.
"Those who have met her speak ap
iweciatively of her pleasing manners
and personal appearance as well as
'the interest she shows in her work.
The first day of the school began with
-a much smaller attendance than i?
expected hereafter. This is account?
ed for by the fact that Robinson's
circus is in Camden today and many
of the patrons are supposed to have
carried their children to see the me
?nagerie, and also by the further fact
that many of the farmers are keeping
their children to help gather their
cotton crop, which work has been
retarded up to this time by the bad
weather. This school had about 65
pupils last year, and the attendance
AB expected to be increased this year.
The effect of the recent storm can
be seen in broken and uprooted tree?*,
"but the damage to crops does not
appear to be as great around here as
was at first thought.
But there is no misrepresentation
about the general shortage of the cot?
ton crop. The general dullness at the
cotton gins is proof that there js no
rush of cotton to be ginned. Mr. W.
S. Smith, who has a steam gin here
?says that his gin book shows about
t>ne-sixth less cotton ginned this year
than up to this time last season.
Mr. J. Wess Weldon, who lives
near here, met with a serious accident
a few days ago. He was hauling in hay
and was'riding on top of a large load
.when the wheel of the wagon ran into
a hole and threw Mr. Weldon off
with the hay on top of him. He re?
ceived a painful hurt on his head ard
has been confined ito his home since.
At last report he vas improving.
Willie and Joe McManus, two boy?,
bad a family scrap Saturday after?
noon. Willie being the oldest under?
took to exercise hi? presumed right
to chastise Joe, which Joe resented by
throwing a monkey wrench at him
with such force that it was thought
his leg was broken. The wound was
just above the ankle on the shin and
may yet give him trouble, but the
physician who was called in did not
find any break in the bone.
Professor Hand has been advertised
to deliver an address here on next
Friday before the High School and
patrons, and it is hoped that he will
have a good atendance.
DARK CORNER.
Dark Corner, October 1.-Well it
still rains, but thanks to an all wise
we have not had any more storms.

'can get to gather their cotton and
cern, also as so much of the latter was
blown down by the storm of the 17th
ult and is rotting on the ground.
Mrs. R. Pinckney Weeks and son,
Charlie, are on the sick list, and Mr.
Jce E. Johnston has had a very sick

I have been requested to say that
you made several mistakes and errors
in your report of the Osteer-Ingram |
trial of last Friday. It was Mr. John
Wm. Osteen, who prosecuted Magis?
trate Ingram, and he is no relation
whatever to Th os. H. Osteen, who
opposed Mr. Ingram in the race for
magistrate. He (Thos. H.) is only
an Osteen by adoption. His father
was Mr. Ransom Kolb and his mother
died when he was an infant and he
was adopted, named and raised by the
late Esquire Thomas H. Osteen -of
Privateer. Mr. Ingram is accused of
having and using whiskey at Man?
chester and not Privateer as stated.
Mr. T. H. Osteen sys he has nothing
to do withythe prosecution whatever,
that he fought Mr. Ingram fairly and
clean handed to the last ditch and
now owns that Ingram is in in and he
is not. So he is not kicking, re?
membering the King can do no
wrong and (who is the King if not the
people.
