to the traveller on this route, is at Old Point,

place is made memorable by an Indian village

An Interesting Election.

The citizens Of Anderson held an
election on Saturday, to test the voice
as to license or no license, the anti's
carrying the day by an Overwhelming
majority Of 134 to +9-the majority
being IS. This will keep the bar
rooms closed until the term Of the
present Counci! expires, which will be
in September next. Straws show
which way the wind blows, and the
Mteliiyencer thinks that if the issue
be properly made, d dry ticket will as
suredly be elected, and strong hope
is INDUCED in, Judging by the bene6
cial results 50 far experienced, that
such will be the case and the liquol
traffic be abolished.
4 vote was taken also as to spe
clal tax for the purpose OF procuring
some suitable apparatus for the protec
ton of the town from fire. A small
majority was given in favor of the tax
and it is presumed it will soon be
made, and some protection be had
, against the destroying element.
We beg leave here to ask why is ii
that Newberry is so behind all Other
towns in the work Of progress for safe
ty. Time and again has the question
Of having a suitable fire apparatus
been mooted, but no response has
been made. Under these circumstan
ces We take to the idea Of a specia.
tax, and therefore recommend it.

Meeting Of the State Agricultu
raj Society.

The Spring meeting Of the State
Agricultural Society, We gather from
the Ncers and Curriers' account, took
place on Tuesday last in the city Of
Charleston, with q full attendance:
and was represented BY planters from
all sections of the State. It is worthy
of note that these meetings prove Of
such interest that they are not suffer,
ed to die Of neglect, but are nurtured
and fostcred and made the means Of
advancing the agricultural interests Of
the State at large.
The State Auxiliary Company has
already capital subscribed Of sl5,-
900, part Of which has been invest
ed in two lots near the Fair Grounds,
and which are being improved.
Many important subjects were dis
cussed, and among them that Of cx-
elusive cotton planting; the arguments
were in favor Of diversified crops.
We are grati6ed to state that the
Society has resolved to exc ;e all de-
scriptions of gaming hereafter. This
is an important step and will receive
the sanction of a large class of people
who heretofore manifested little inter
est in the Society. The next step
should be the abolishment of drinking
booths-a nuisance which has dis
gusted many, and been in the way of
their attending the Fairs. 1t should
have been done at this last meeting.

The HodoS War.

The most exciting news now is the
Modoc war, in which handful of
Indians under Captain Jack are not
only bidding defiance to the veterans
Of the U. S. army, but actually defeat
ing them in battle. Lo, the poor
Indian. Intense excitement prevails
through the Indian country, and the
people are armiug through the fear of
a general uprising of the savages.
The battle reported on the 10Th ult.
Was most disastrous, nineteen Federal
soldiers being killed, including one
Captain and two ieutcnants, and
twenty-thrcc wounded, besides some
are reported missing.
The following particulars may prove
interesting:
New York, April 30.-A lava bed
special says: 1T was 4 fearful trap,
and the first four shots were only fired
to draw the troops more directly be-
tween the fire Of the Indians on the
right and on the left. The rout was
complete, and with the exception of
the officers and non commissioned
officers, majority Of whom lay
stretched on the rocks with their life
blood ebbing fast away, the watchword
Was, 'Suave qui pcut.' During the
night the Indians were creeping
through the rocks to scalp and strip
the dead"
WASHINGTON, April 30.-Sherman
has an official dispatch from Scho6eld
confirming the lava bed news.
Major Green, commanding on the
west side of the lava beds, ordered
Captain Thomas with seventy soldiers
and fourteen Warm Spring Indians to
reconnoitre four miles from camp.
The party reached the designated
point and were resting. No Indians
had been seen; but suddenly the party
was fired upon. Part Of the command
panicked, and al ogauization in a
great measure ceased. The stragglers
reached camp at half-past one ?. NJ.
Green went to the assistance of
Thomas, and found Thomas command
entirely disorganized and scattered.
The details fully confirm the casualties.
All the officers and part Of the men
remained together and fought like
heroes, but the Indians had secured
an adv: tagcous position before they
were d.. covered. The remains of the
officers We're sent to Yreka. The
bodies of four warriors were found
near the scene. The Indians occupy
the rocks four miles below their old
position. 1t will be impossible to
surround them with the force here
and en- route. The report is sigued
by Gillcm.

Death Of John EVatieS, ESQ.

Mr.. John Waties. member of the
Columbia Bar, died in that city, on
Tuesday morning last, after long and
painful illness, in the forty-ffth year
Of his age. He was born il Sumter
district, was the son Of Thos. Waties,
and grandson of Chancellor Wsties,
his mother Was the daughter Of
Chancellor Rutledge, and i sister Of
Bishop Rutledge He graduated at
Yale College in 1913, and began life
as Civil Engineer, aud afterwards
engaged in the practice Of law, and for
ten years served as Clerk Of the Court
Of appeals. He served faithfully and
honorably through the war, and COM
mencing as lieutenant of Artillery,
he rose to be Chief of Artillery Of
Jackson's Mounted Division. After
the war he resumed the practice of his
profession. but experienced feeble
health from that time till his death.
The Columbia Caro!iniaA renders
the following merited tribute to his
memory:
I'VE have alluded to Captain Waties
us soldier. As L lawyer, he Was
an ornament to the Bar. Noted for
his learning and his courtesy, he was
conspicuous for his perfect probity
which was his crowning characteristic.
His last appearance at the Bar was in
defense Of Col. McMaster in the Ev-
cry matter and his argument on
that occasion was regarded mastery
in style and chivalrous in spirit.
!As man and citizen, Mr.. Waties
Illustrated many shining qualities. He
was always for the right; pure and the
honest. Possessing an intellec, we'll
trained, well.balanccd and polished,
and soul pure and elevated ID char
acter. there was as little confusion in
his mental deductions as in his moral
propositions and his ethical conclu-
s;ons. In the private relations Of life
as respects the deceased, We propose not
to enter. Enough to say that he dis
charged with beautiful fidelity all Of
life's relative duties, and thus made
the excellence Of his public conduct to
be in accord Will. the purity of his DO
meStic course.
And to complete the harmony Of
the picture which We have given Of a
useful and an honorable career. We
add that it was crowned with the
grace and beauty of Christian recogni
ton. He whose indomitable will led
him to combat disease and suffering
with unequalled persistence, bowed
his head before the Cross, aud meekly
Welded to that Power which binds
the sweet influences Of Pleiades and
!ooses the bands Of Orion"

S'The Recorder" RICHMOND,
Va. 18th Feb. 1902.

Many reflections are suggested by a
glance at this old paper which Judge
NJ. Moses has kindly placed in the
::HERALD" Reading Room. 1t is
musty with the age Of three quarters
Of century. Of the many who read
its pages in 1902, probably not one is
now living. ;:Died yesterday is seen
all over its yellow pages. Here we
see the Proclamation Of Buonaparte to
the French People, dated I'd Nov,
1901. There the reception Of the
MARQUIS Cornwallis as British Pleni-
potentiary to the Congress Of Amlens.
In another column !. stirring account
of the campaign in Italy, and close by
we fiud the discussions in the Z. S.
Senate on the subject Of reforming
the judiciary. Where are the actors
of those days? "Died yesterday"
As an article of interest we read {:
';New York, 18th JAM, 1902. For
proof of the milaness of the present
season we need only instance the Sec
ond growth of apples. In several Or
chards near this town are apples Il
| inches in diameter"
Under news items we fud the fol-
lowing: sour latest news from Eu-
rope brings the dates down to llth
Dec, (lSOl). The London papers do
not cease to rail against Buonaparte,
as if any despotism could be more
horrible than that of Ireland" News
two months old would scarcely bring
much favor to newspaper nowadays.
How the times have changed! How
slow and sober then, how rapid and
often erratic now. Steam and elec-
tricity have practically annihilated
space. Who then would have be-
lieved that we could know at 10
o'clock this morning how Exchange
closed in London at 3. 1t occurs to
all of US to ask: have we kept pace
morally with the material progress of
the age? ITO whom much is given,
from him much will be required"
