Killed and Wounded

DUFFEY, of the Hartsville Vidette, is dis
posed to be a little facetious at the expense
of our State Guard. Hear him:
The number of Killed, Crippled and
Kicked among Cooper's Pawnees is very
severe. The niggers near Pulaski beat
one to death-several have shot themselves
because they didn't have sense enough to
understand the ''durned shekeenery'' Of
their new fashioned guns-ffteen deserted
Friday night-a tree fell across one of them
last week, and scarcely dead limb falls in
the woods without striking the head of one
of the terrible 'tigers," on whose monu-
ment it Should be inscribed HE fit
nObly at the Battle of Pork and Beans''
Don't, Duffey, Oh don't At the rate
you arc killing them off we will soon be
without any protectors.
But, seriously, our contemporaries of the
press hear and publish great deal about
the doings of the militia, that have no
foundation in fact whatever None of the
force here have ever shot themselves, de-
serted or been killed or crippled by fall
ing tree, that we have heard of, and our
contemporaries must be hard up for items
when they hunt up so many false rumors.
Go slow Vidette! The CITIZEN is on the
outpost now, and will give you the dots
correctly.

ROBBERY.
Kukluxism Pat to Blush.

None of tbs Kuklux horrors heretofore
coDcocted in the fertile Imagination of the
Press and Times ever equaled in intensity
of cruelty and utter wantonness, the out
rage perpetrated by persons clothed in blue
uniforms on Monday night last, OIL the per-
con and family of Daniel Alternately, Esq,
who lives three miles East of town on the
Fayetteville road. Mr.. Alternately is very
old man.-feebIe in health and a cripple in
one arm-living, as he has ever done, a
quiet, retired life-with no family except
two unmarried daughters, who assist the
old gentleman as best they can in making
an honest living. On Monday night a
squad of men dressed in blue uniform,
and supposed to be militiamen gained ad-
mittance to Mr.. Aberna!hy's house, and
sought to rob him of the little earnings
which he and his daughters. by dint of
hard labor and the most rigid economy, had
accumulated. Mr.. Abernathy, conscious
of his right to the pittance thus demanded
Of him, refused, though powerless to resist,
to give it up, whereupon the villains tied
him by the neck and dragged him across
the floor, threatening to hang him if he did
not comply with their demands. The help
less old man now fully pretending the
hellish determination to murder him or get
his money, called upon his daughter to sur
render it. The daughter, under a pressure
of threats, finally yielded, and the robbers
left with their booty. They have not been
identified.

This is new firm, with new clerks, new
goods and new store, and yet the men,

Thos. J. Wells and James Buford are the

experience, energy, talent and enterprise.

demonstrated in years gone by, his caPaci-

able evidence of the great attractions Of

Discipline.

It is perhaps but justice to the officers
of the militia force stationed here, to state
that so far as we are able 20 learn, they
have manifested a disposition to enforce
rigid discipline among the men, and the
depredations and acts of violence that we
notice elsewhere, were committed by strag-
glers from camp. The officers have aided
in ferretting out several of the perpetrators,
and profess to be ready at all times to aid
the civil authorities in checking any outs
break among them. Some of the officer
have won golden opinions among the people
already, and at a future day we desire to
compile list of the most efficient and wor-
thy names among them. There are doubt
less some reckless characters among the
large number of men composing this COM
and, but we should no. hold the entire
battallion responsible for the acts of few
sunmanageable fellows who have .aken ad-
1tage of the situation, and: perpetrated
d mes in our midst. Let US rather com
mend and conciliate the worthy and con-
denim only the bad. As journalist it is
our province and duty to do this, and We
desire that Col. Gamble aud all of his sub
ordinates who have manifested desire for
peace and quiet in our midst, should be
greeted by our people with cOrdiality while
the lawless and noisy, citizens as we'll as
soldiers, should be frowned down, arrested
aad punished.
P. S.-Since the above was in type there
have been new developments which would

theless, on Wednesday, the situation was
hopeful, and the above article was penned

RIGHTS OF RAILROAD PASSENGERS
The case of Judge Goddard versus The
Grand Trunk Railroad Company was
decided at Portland on Tuesday. The
facts are thus recorded by the Portland
Argus:
"Judge Goddard purchased a ticket
to Danyille junction and started to visit
his family, then residing in Auburn.
The afternoon train was very long and,
as usual. one jackson was detailed to
take the tickets of passengers leaving
the train before the regular conductor
come through. Judge Goddard, having
some business at Falmouth, stepped out,
and upon the requestof jackson, handed
him his ticket. Upon his return, Jack
son again approached where he was sit
ting and demanded his ticket, and upon
Judge Goddard's replying that he gave
1t to him when he left the car, told the
Judge that he lied, and falling into an
ungovernable passion committed an as
sault upon him, shaking his fists in his
face, threatening to beat his brains out
and using the most profane language.
Hecontinued this forsome twenty minutes,
when the train approached Cumberland
and he desisted. For this outrage Judge
Goddard brought an action, and the YER
dict of the jury of $3.50, will serve as a
lesson to corporations to employ such
servants as will respect the rights of pas.
sengers and will protect them from out
rage and personal abuse"
