HOMICIDE. The Darlington South
erner says:
We learn that serious affair took
place some twenty miles West of the
court house, on Lynche's Creek.
These are the particulars as we get
them: Mr.. Dennis McKevlin-late
postmaster at Thomas Cross Roads,
and Mr.. Segars-owner of Segars'
Mills-had not been on friendly terms
for some time, and on Wednesday
afternoon Mr.. McKelvin met Mr..
Segars, and had some high words, in
reference to charge of cutting Sc
gars' mill dam-said to have been
made by Segars against McKevlin.
1t is stated that Mr.. McKevlin ban
tered Mr.. Segars to meet him and
fight it out; that he, the said Segars,
did meet Mr.. McKevlin-both with
guns-and that the latter snapped
one or moro caps ut Mr.. Segars, and
then Mr.. S. fired both barrels at Mr..
McKevlin, killing him at once.

WINNspoRo. December II.

MEssRs. EDITORS: I observe in
your paper of to-day, an advertise
ment Of E. r. Dorsey, general trans
portation agent, dated Columbia, De-
cember II, in which it is stated, that
after that date, cotton would be trans
ported from Columbia to New York,
through Charlotte, North Carolina,
at $4.00 per bale OF 400 pounds. A
similar advertisement appeared on
the 7th inst, and was 81. so per bale.
Now, sir, I do not know Mr.. Dor
sey, or his address, nor do I under
stand the official position he occupies.
Otherwise, L would address him per-
sonally. My object in sending you
this communication is, that I may
gain the information 1 desire, either
through you, or Mr.. Dorsey, if it
should fall under his eye. 1t is this
I would like to know for the benefit
of this community, as we'll as for
myself, if the same terms he pro-
proses for the shipment of cotton
from Columbia, are granted or apply
to shippers from Winnsboro, Chester
or any other point between Columbia
and Charlotte. If it does, then the
railroad agent at this point should be
so instructed; if it does not, then
why, I would ask, this discrimination
in favor of one section. Il is in just,
if such be the case.
I wish now to illustrate, and be
correct in my statements. The facts,
as / understand them, are these: A
bale of cotton of 400 pounds, shipped
from 'Winnsboro to New York, now
costs $6.3S, or $1.6O per hundred;
from Columbia to New York it is
$40 per bale; from Winnsboro to
Columbia it is 81. 25 per bale.
Now, can put my cotton OH the
train here, ship it to Columbia, and
then without moving it. send it on to
New York, at $500 per bale, saving
thereby $1.13 per bale, rs it will then
cost me S5.25 per bale via Columbia.
This statement, L believe, sir, is
correct. If I am in error, I will be
glad to be corrected; and if it should
be true, then I believe it to be the
duty of those who have it under their
control to rectify it. Public atten.
tion, however, should be called to the
fact. Very respectfully, w. A.
