Gov. Ileyward is a friend of Charleston, but we don't jt] think he is the man to allow this friendly re feeling for the city tocauss him to quietly wink at the flagrant violation of the M dispensary law for which Charleston has become notorious, aud Columbia is not a far behind. Heyward is under no obli- ar gation to anybody and we trust he will stand flat-footed for the enforcement o; at 1 the laws as he finds them on the sta'.- ui utes. ?c di MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE. in One was pale and sallow and the to other fresh and rosy.

Col. T. C. Duncan ii at the head of this grand enteipi ist: and wi.l push it forward from the j imp. Souie time ago he sent li s suiveyor to Neal Shoals to tike in the situation with tlbs o! j.-ct in view. As he is not in the habit of going off liilf Cocked, li: wish d to get the matter before him 111 detail. Having done this he was soon convinctd that there was an opening for the biggest mterprise ever uidtilakcnin Union, the establishment of a mammoth electrical power plant at which sufficient electric power could bo geuerated to furnish every industry in Union and surrounding towns with electric power from the smallest c mcern to the largest manufacturing industry. No sooner was this decided than he went to work to put the matter in shape by applying for a charter for a coiporatim known as the Union Manufacturing and Power Company, then a bill was introduced asking the right to darn Broad river at Neal Shoals. Everything is now iu shape to move ahead with thn grand work. "VVhen we stop to contemplate what it mpjJ}gJCLi)lidle such a stream as Broad river and f^TNc4^'uaD,a biddi"* the advantages to be deri ^mo?L incalculable. Electric power enough can be generated by this grand stream to run every iudmtry in Union and surrounding towns that are now iu operation or will be for the next half centuiy. The fuct that the company has secured the right to back water for twelve iniKs up the river, gives them the privilege of rxtendiag the dam frem hill to hill, per milting tin; installation of an electric power plant somewhat similar to that of Niagara and making of Neal Shoals the Niagara of the South. This will give a be&htifnl lake 12 miles long from onehalf to one mil* wide, which would te a gieat opening for pleasure boats, such as steam launches, sail boats, etc., a great place for picnicking and pleasuie parties. The lake will no doubt be stocked with Qsh of every kiad to tempt those who wish to fish. The plant will probably develop 10,000 horse power, and will furnish power to Union mills and all other industries that wish to use it and save expense, as the the current will be much cheaper than coal. Other minor industries too small to put in a first class power plant will be glad to avail themselves of this power. v It is contemplated to run the trolley line which has been talked of jor a year of more with this power. The cars will run from Buffalo via the Union Mills, through town, via the Excelsior, Aetna and Monarch Mills, thence to Neal Shoals. It is expected that woik on this line will begin this aummer. Tim will bo a great boom to the citi/ius and Finnish lliem much pleasure. The line will no doubt be a paying investment. The building of this mammoth dam aud the establishment of the great ele< trie power plant will overshadow anjtliing ever attempted in this patt of the country. Neal shoals is som8 twelve miles from Union, about the same distance from Lock hart, five miles from Carli.de and about sixteen tnil.-s from Chester. The capital stick of the company has r.Qt. yet teeu fixed, as it was necessary to get the bill granting permission to builil the dam acrts-i the livtr through the legislature before any thing d? finite could le Jone. The capital ^ ill be forlhcomii g when the amount is fixed. Dexter I*ruitt Killed. _ _ . _ D?xter Ihuilt, the 12 year old son of Mr. I).
