been Joe Smith or Joe Scott, of this
town, (who bears by no means an
enviable repntation,) made his ap.
pearance at the residence of Mrs.

the lower part Of the County near

pistol threatened her life if she ran
away, She nevertheless ran away
for the purpose Of giving the alarm
to her sons who were working in a
field at some distance from the house.
During her absence, Joe appropriated
a gun and some clothing and made
off He was tracked to Cade's Mill
and up Little River to the neishbor-

The BANKRUPT LAw.-Ws set

THE BANKRUPT LAW.-We see
published in oar exchanges, the va
rious State exemptions, which under
a recent amendment of the law, are
now made to apply to the National
Bankrupt Act. In this State the
exemption amounts to o.s1,QOo for real
estate, and $500 for personal property
and these with $500 allowed by the
Bankrupt Law, make q total of
$4,000.
The amended act not only allows
these State exemtions, but allows
them against oil liens, no matter how
or where acquired, as we'll as all debts
contracted before its passage, the de-
cisioq of any court to the contrary
not withstapding. The exemptions
are not only not uniform in the seve:

many Of them that if bankrupts take
advantage Of them it will be q heavy

DEATH OF Mr.. THOMAS EAKIN.-
We regret to announce the death
of this old and highly esteemed
citizen, at his residence near
Hodges, on Friday last, from stone
in the bladder. He was seventy
two years OF age, and had passed a
long and useful life among. large
circle of relatives and friends. to
whom be was endeared by the ex-
ercise of all the qualities which
make the useful citizen; the good
man, the kind neighbor, the sincere
friend, the. indulgent parent. :, His
nature overfowed with the milk of
human kindness, and we suppose
he has left no enemy behind. He
was twice married, and leaves
s eral married daughters and a
number of grandchildren, issue of
the former marriage-as we'll as his
second wife, the widow of the late
Donald Douglass = to deplore his
loss. His remains were inferred
in the family burying ground on:

THE ANDERSON AND PORT ROYAL
RAILROAD. = The following article
from the Gohmsbm Union presents
an encouraging view Of the pros
pects of this enterprise. With a
liberal charter, and backed by cap
ital at home and abroad, its success
is assured; and success to such an
enterprise means the development
of the material prosperity of the
Western section of South Carolina,
and the increase Of the wealth and
business of the State. On with
the railway then, going hand in
hand, as it does, with the progress
Of every material development, and
hpildipg;uP the prosperity of this
and other sectionsl " ,-no;{:
"This railroad, which was char
tered at the recent session of the
Legislature is, we are reliably in.
formed, likely to be built very
soon. Parties possessing the means
are ready to take hold Of the enter.
prise, and assist the people in
building the road, Besides this, ii
is stated that large numbers of peo-
pie i'm the counties through which
the road passes are ready to sub
scribe to the stock of the road.
The road runs through Anderson
to Abbeville Court House, Edge.
field Court House, Aiken and SO on
to Port Royal and thencet to Charles
ton. Parties well pasted, say that
100000 worth of stock would be
at once subscribed in Abbeville
County alone, if the books were
opened. The charter of this road
is a liberal one. 1t runs through
one of the richest cotton growing
and most salubrious portions Of the
State, and would soon build up a
local trade OF great value, besides
being an important link in the net
work of roads now building or soon
to bs constructed. The building
of this road will give. employment
to thousands of men, develop the
resources of the section through
which it passes, add millions of
dollars to the value of lands along
the route, and increase the business,
wealth and power-of the State,
