ANOTHER DISPENSARY KILLINO* Wednesday morning at o o'clock, Mr. Henry Turner, a respectable citizen of Spartanburg cmnty, while on his way to town to the State Fair, was halted and held up by Detective | Newbold and an assistant without th?? least provocation. Newbold discharged both pistols which he held in his hands, and the contents of one killed Mr. Turner. Newbold then fled, and up to time of going to press has not been apprehended. S. T. llowie has been arrested and jailed as an accessory. Public feeling in Spartanburg is very bitter against Newbold. It is understood that he will plead accidental shooting, and when his bondsmen appear will give himself up. Thus the infamous dispensary system continues to drench our highways and homes with the blood of innocent men, and the hired bravos and thugs of a rotten system boast of executive protection! MARRIAGES. Union has had an epidemic of inarriagts this week?the like has never been known in our midst before. mu.? j uv juiti iiitit mu ui??i11\u uiuoi) aium | tlio ^ hole business is that we are losing our voting women. Now if some women would come along and carry oft' some of our old butchelors (we won't call any names now, but if they don't show signs of improvement soon, we will blacklist them and publish them every week) we would be highly pleased. They are a nuisance to any community; they arc too insignificant to take notice of, but t! rough a spirit of fairness ?ei give them notice that they must mend their ways and make some steps or pi ogress towards the matrimonial j state. We don't know but that it ; would be a good idea to pass a law in the I.cgis'aturc disfranchising] every old batchelor, and making him ineligible to public ofliee. I nion has ijuite an array of old batchelors that are right good sort of fellows, o r. but cf very little service to their; country cr community.

We therefore express our dcejiest regret that he has 1 wen taken from our midst, and will ever remember one who occupied in this community a marked position, and leaves many who sorrow for his loss.

I-ong died at his home in Jonesviile, Friday morning, November He was liorn February 14. 1K11. in Somerset, Brown county, Kentucky, lie came to this county in 1S20, a lad of 17 years.

In lStil he joined Capt. W. J. T. tile mi's company of sharpshooters, he served the four years of the late war. The deat h of Mich a man deserves more than mere mention, lie was a teniarkable man in more ways tliuu one, endowed as lie was with uncommon natural ability. With hut a very limited education he nevertheless was a leader among men ; his great will-power made men yield to and follow his lead. His ; magnetic influence was felt wherever l.e chose to exercise it to further a pur|wKc. In carrying a principle cherished by him iis right ami just ins adherence to principle?to which lie clung with a tenacity worthy of every cause lie advocated?

Whenever it was in his power he would settle a ditliculty or difference lK-tween neighliorsor friends, and thus perpetuate a friendship which | otherwise would have made enemies for life. On the Monday liefore he died he sent 1 for his old friend?Hev. A. A. James to whom he expressed a desire to join the | church. Mr. James received him into ] the Presbyterian church, liaptiscd and administered the sacrament of the Lord's Slipper. We feel that upon the profession of such a man sincerity and true rc|>entnnce is miijuestioiiably .stam|>ed. for with him hyjxH-t isy was a crime. We extend our , heartfelt sympathy to the family.
