said: Be stil-mske nose-let me die quietly, He
refused to have the balance of his household notified

w The Editor Of the Free Press, we
are free TO acknowledge, has a pretty hard
time,--so much of his time occupied at the
lease" and "press," together with an occa-
sional aching of four teeth; yet, with all
earnestness ~e feel bound to say, he does
ample justice to his papor. You will make
your mark yet, friend Smith. We are not
certain whether the Press advocates the law
prohibiting the granting of license to sell
spirits, or not We have written lonr Ar
ticle on Temperance and Temperance So
eictics,' in which We signify our disapproba-
ton Of Il Prohibitary Law in South Carolins,
which is left over until next week. In our
views on tho subject of Temperance Socic-
ties, We are sure the Press will disagree with
us, but from the generous spirit which per-
vades our friends editorials, We are also sure
he will not pounce on us too hardly. II
looks as if We arc in advance, endcav oring
to create controversy, but the truth is, we
had no intention Of doing so. We have Of
ten heard, that never mind how much Il man
may consider himself verscd in theology, he
was in danger to attempt scripture contro-
yersy with preacher. So with Temper

ting to write complimentary notice Of the
editorial efforts Of the editor of the Free
Press, We may, in the end, get oursclf into n

SERIOUS AFFRAY.

AFTER the muster on Saturday last, an
affray of rather serious nature occurred in
this town. A difficulty took place between
Archibald Flemming and Jackson Gregory /;
the former made nh assault on Gregory,
and had him on the floor, when John Grcgo-
ry brother of J,ckson intcrfercd to part
them; he succeeded in getting Flemming
off, when Jackson drew dirk and in the
attemptto stab Flcmming, stabbed his BROTH
er. 1t il said the blow which was aimed at
Flemming would have killed him, had not
F. thrust John G. between them to receive
it. Ffemming however did not escape, for
Jackson though still on the floor welded
his dirk about in desperate manner, and
after stabbing his brother in two or three
places, inflicted several wounds upon Flsm-
ming. 1t is thought both of the wounded
men will recover, although Gregory 10 very

thought frequently of the delighted face
Of his daughter when he told her that he
had subscribed for the magazine. Before
night he determined to give her another
agreeable surprise ere the week was out.
1t Was Thursday. On the next evening,
when he came in, Mary sprung towards
him, and holding up a newspaper, said,
while her whole countenance beamed
with pleasurc-"A man left the Gazette
here to day. Did you subscribe for it,
papai Yes, | know YOU did; your face
tells me sou
"You seem highly delighted about it,"
Mr.. Rivers said, with All irrepressibe
smile.
land so am. I've wanted to see ihe
Gazette badly"
Nor was Mary alone in her expression
Of pleasure. The younger sisters and
brothers were in rapturcs at the idea Of
having y 4" Gazette that was all their
own to read;" and even Mrs. Rivers, who
was not of \ very literary turn, remarked,
on the occasion, that a newspaper WAS
ian excellent thing among Children" and
that, for her part, she always liked to read
little in them now and then, especially
in that part containing receipts and other
domestic matters. Not for long time
had Mr.. Rivers done anything that gave
such universal satisfaction at home. Even
though ho couldn't afford it, lie was very
far from rcpenting of this act Of extra
liberality.
Many weeks did not pass before another
magazine and another newspaper came
to the house, and before six months, Mr.
Rivers was as liberal a patron Of periodical
literature rs Mr.. Tompkins, and this
although he" couldn't afford it."
A year or two have passed, but not
mithstsnding the heavy additional eS-
pense Of twenty dollars per anum for
magazines and newspapers, the mercantile
community have not yet been started by
an announcement of the failure Of Mr.
Rivers, and We hope never wiIl-at least
not 80 long as he takes the magazines
and newspapers and pays for fhcm punc-
tually.

NEW 1okk, Oct. 20, 1893.
Mr.. EDIroR We who have lives and
limbs that have thus far escaped the casual
ties of travel hav, at last some ground OF
hope that the various railroad and steamboat
companies will be taught the responsibility
of their position, and that human life is
thing not to be tri1ed with. These corpo-
rations command capital; and capital hires
lawyers, befogs juries, corruPts judges-in
word covers n multitude of sins. The i'm
munity from punishment thus long enjoyed
has begotten recklessness and disregard
of life to which so many lamentabls catas-
trophies are to be attributed. Justice, how
ever, has recently been done in one one case,
and is likely to be dealt out in another. In
the first instance, a verdict has been award
cd to Patrick Gilmore, against the Hudson
River Railroad Company. for $4,000. The
plaintiff, who is a laboring man, received
short time since, severe injuries from an ac-
cdent on the road and the verdict is an
eminently righteous one. A few more such
would produce decided increase Of care
and prccaution.
The other case alluded to above, j. that
of the steamboat Henry Clay, whose melan
choly destruction by fire on the Hudson
River, year ago last summer, involved such
a fearful loss OF human life BY variety
Of legal shifts the trial of the officers and
owners of the boat has boen deferred from
time TO time, with the view no doubt Of let
ting the public excitement subside, and then
cutting the thread Of their responsibilt with
. convenient noile prosequ But in some
way the case has finally been reached, and Is
now on in our Circuit Court. II will likely
continue several weeks. The evidence thus
far given bears hard upon the defendants.
The unfortunate Tung. Hook -Tung dra-
matte company, whose career in this city has
been one succession Of misfortunes, have at
last a prospect Of getting home to the rice
fields and tea-plantations oftheir happy "Ce-
lestial Empire" Once there, imagine they
will sschew foreign travel forever. Subscrip-
tiOns were started 10 their behalf last sum-
mer; but the amount raised was insufficient

osity of a generous Boston shipper, they
