Editorial Notes.

Four books by Southern authors are
just now attracting great attention-the
Poems of Timrod, with biography Of
the poet by Paul Hayne; Clifford
Troup," novel by Mrs. Westmoreland
of Atlanta, the author of "Heart Hun
gry;'' Kenneth My King" another
novel, by Miss Sallie Brock, of Virginia
and "Salted With Fire." still another
by Mrs. Lagrange, of North Carolina
The last is strong, original, beautiful
and should be widely read. Every
south. Carolinian should buy and read
Timrod, who has so nobly embalmed
our late struggle in immortal verse. The
book is issued in lovely form by Hale Of
New York.

@ The Laurensville Herald says:
"Mr. V McBee Burgess, a brick mason,
m industrious and worthy young man
or this County, while engaged in build
ing chimney, fell therefrom, and was
Killed, a day Or two since.
The City Council of Charleston having
invited President Grant to take Charles
ton in his contemplated Southern tour,
he writes to Mayor Wagner, acknowl.
edging the receipt of the invitation, and
expressing regret that he would not be
able to avail himself of the hospitality
rendered, as he has been forced to forego
the trip until the future. Bah!
@r On Saturday night, the Sth, a
drunken mob visited the house of man
living about sixteen miles from Calhoun,
in Gordon county, Ga. Upon arriving
at the door, without waiting a moment,
they entered the building, drew their
pistols and shot the man dead Three
balls entered his body, and he fell to the
floor corpse. No reason or cause was
assigned by the assassins for this horri
BILE deed. They were not disguised, but
in their ordinary dress. The bloody act
was done in the presence of his family
@e Miles Mccullough, Miles Carroll
and Henry WarlicR, of York County,
South Carolina, convicted of Ku klux-
ism, and sentenced to Imprisonment in
the Albany Penitentiary, have been par
doned by the President at the solicitation

@r Thomas F. Anderson, cashier of
Lamberton's Bank, at Franklin, Penn,
one of the oldest cashiers in the oil re-
gions, on the l4th, opened the bank as
usual, waited on several customers, took
all the special deposits and bills receiva-
bic out of the vault and put them on the
fire, ran home, drew pistol in the pres
ence of his wife, told her he was going to
commit an awful act, rushed into the
ward and blew his brains out. 1t is not
known what amount was destroyed in
the fire, but thirty-eight thousand dollars
in United States bonds was in the mass.
Anderson had been carrying large
amount of over-drafts for the accommo-
dation of his friends, and was crazed by
the dread of impending exposure.
@s- An exchange tells us that James
Wells, the head OF a Partisan gambling

they Will have to do with the old original

A Maryland lad, named Hall, only
eighteen years Of age, shot Miss Shock
ley through the heart lately because he
loved her and she did mt iove him. While
a Miss Stickney, in Iowa, shot her teacher
the other day because she loved hin, and
he didn't Iove her. AL these people were
highly respectable; and both murders
were shockingly cool and determined.
Love has been fruitful cause of trouble
in all ages, but this phase of the thing is
truly fearful. Who is safe? All fascina
ting persons of either sex should bear
in mind that death is now the penalty of
unreciprocated love.
