Messrs. Cannon and Woodruff, of Spar
tanburg, in reference to the recent Iii
ling in that county, and the placing Of
hot Goals on the breast Of the victim,
say:
"Pas>ins down on the train ycstcr
day, we fell in with young Mr.. Jones,
son Of Dr.. Jones, who owns the planta
ton whercoa this derd was committed,
aud his statement was that this colored
man had been shot i'll the night by some
persons unknown, but as he said not! ing
of the shovel of hot Goals put upor
him." we take it for g,anted that this
par. of the statement Of "Srncx,' is in
correct. Mr.. Jones also gave it as his
opinion from u hat he considered to br
good reasons, that the difficulty o"igi
mated from considerations OF personal re
venge, and that politics had nothing to
do with it whatever.
Since October last Says "ScncX,""
mo week has passed during which some
outrage Of the kind has not been pcrpr
trated in this county, having al!usion t"
shooting and whipping. Again hc says,
"lhe shooting Of thirty or forty persons,
and whipping Of hundreds, does not diS

he were writing over his o.n proper

then he ought to te required to produce
the evidence upon which these assertions
were made. 1t looks ve.y much as !.
these announcements were made for the
accomplishment Of l'arty purposes, aud
not for the promotion of the general
good. The principal portion Of the citi
zens Of Sparlanburg, nearly all, We might
say, are pcaccahlc, quiet and laW.ahiding,
and in this respect, will compare with
any people, and we cannot consent that
they should thus lie under general

ANOTHER EUNAwAY.-That everlasting
Gray wagon driven by Howard, or rather :hc
horses, again took fright on Thursday last,
and after pitching the unfortunate driver out
hcadons near McFaIl & Pools store, fortu-
natcIv without injury, more than scraping
little skin off his knucklcs and knee Joints,
dashed down College Street, leaving the

done there is 20 telling, but for tie street

The CnOpS The heavy rains Of the pas;
week, Together with the cold will, it is feared,
seriously affect the cotton crop; inlccd, in

damage has b zen done to do it. Wheat is
also much hurt We hear Of some fields,
which gave great promise 4 week crtwO ago,
that now will not give back the seed oriSi-
nally sown, while generally rust has to a
very lLrgc extent shown itself. Corn, we
arc pleased to SaT, never looked better, at
this season Of the year. and as considerable
crop Of il has been planted, we may conii>
DENLY look for plenty. Otts generally are

TO the importance Of cleanliness at this sea-
son of the year. The summer heats are ap-
preaching, anI &c prevent in as great mca-
sure as possible, any and every cause pro-
ductivc of ulDcatliness, should be q prime
consideration. The town council some time
since gave notice, warning the citizens
against the neglect to cleanse their prcmi.
scs, and it was we'll. Has this order been
observed? We beg to call attention again tc
this matter, lest there be some who having
forgotten, may entirely neglect to attend tc
it. y due observance Of this will, in great
measure. prevent no little sickness. Piles o.
filth allowed to remain now under the com
bined effects Of sun and rain, will create q
miasna and entail chill and fever. and per
haps typhoid varieties Of fever Even under
shelter, and in cellars, nothing Of the kint
should be allowed to remain, bat all should
be cleaned out and thrown into the street
so that the town carts can curry it away.
