The EdgefieId Saw Mill.

But few OF our readers can nave an ldea
of the amount of business done at the
Edgefeld Saw Mill, Of which VIM. Suther-
land 4 90. are the proprietors. 1t is loca-
ted on the bank of the river, and the
grounds leased and used amount to up
wards of three acres, and every foot OF
available space is turned to good account.
The immense amount of lumber on hand
is piled up at various points, while the mill
and various houses connected with the es-
tablishment, the long lines of RATS floating
in the river, and the large force employed,
gives the premises the appearance of thrift
and enterprise. A short time since the
proprietors introduced the Quaker Dry
Kiln, as necessary addition
to the 20 establishment, which Is
said TO be the most thorough, successful
and efficient apparatus for drying timber
| known. 1t is a modern invention, and the
first of the kind we have ever seen In this
country. At the mill there are in use two
| circular saws, four circular bench saws,
power morticer, tenoning machine jig
saw, cut of saw, flooring machine, surface
planer, moulding machine, etc, and on an
| average there are 16, 900 to $4,000 feet of
| lumber turned out daily. In addition to
| other machinery we noticed the arrival
| yesterday of large circular inserted tooth
saw, which is of modern style, and an en-
tirely new patent. Besides the saving Of
timber, the proprietors are extensive man
ufacturers of doors, frames, sash, blinds,
etc., for carpenters, and make to order
everything required for building pur-
poses. They get the great majority OF
| their poplar timber from the Caney
Fork country, and receive their pine lum-
Der from the head of Cumberland river in
Kentucky. They have already expended
this year for timber upwards of $780, 900,
and are doing much to encourage those
who raft timber to this place. The estab
lishment gives employment to fifty men,
and it is in ali respects one of the sound
and Furnishing enterprises Of Edgefeld.

The Knoxville Chronicle learns from a
reliable gentleman, who has just returned
from jacksonville, that James Morrow,
who is represented as a lawless desperate
"a fugitive from justice, who committed
two or three murders in Cherokee county,
North Carolina, was murdered in wheat
field on Coker's Creek, IN the mountains
of Monroe county, by an unknown assas-
sin in a most cowardly manner. Morrow
had been engaged as a harvest hand and
in company with several others, was rest
iDg in a shade. Morrow was, it seems,
tbe frat to arise, and was Immediately shot
down by the assassin from the woods,
about one hundred and fifty yards distant,
He only survived about one hour after re-
ceiving the wound. 1t is thought thai
some of the friends of those who had beer
murdered by Morrow, are guilty OF tins
heinous crime.

The committee appointed in regard to
the bill establishing Common Law Court
ior Davidson county, reported the follow

The bill is Objectionable for the follow

The terms of the bill require monthly
sittings of the court, and if suit is COM
meneed twenty days before the sittings Of
the court, judgments may be rendered at
the first term of the service, and execution
issued in thirty days. This would neces.

that Common Law Court for this county,

that said court hold quarterly sessions, and

The storm of Thursday night scarcely
