A specimen of cotton known as the twin va
riety was brought to the sauctum on Monday
by Mr.. H. P. Price, of Wilson's Creek. The
seed were selected by Mr.. Price from the Boyd
Prolific grown by him for several years, and the
formation of the squares and bolls is quite a
novelty, there being two bolls produced by one
square. Mr. Price thinks that other varieties
are more desirable, since the bolls on this cot
ton are rather dwarfed in size.
The ministers in charge Of the several de-
nominations in town have agreed to invite the
people generally to observe Friday, 18th of
August, as day of fasting, humiliation and
prayer, especially imploring the aid of Almigh-
ty God for the conversion of the young people
in our midst. We trust the announcements will
be sufficient to induce all Christians to unite
in the observance of the day. The programme
will be found elsewhere in our columns.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

We regret to learn that Mr. Thomas Stacks,
residing about two miles southeast of Noun
tain Creek, met with serious accident on
Monday last. 1t seems that Mr.. Stacks was
engaged in telling tree, which in its fall
lodged against another close by. He then
commenced to cut down the latter, and when
it began to totter, gave finishing blow, but
only one corner of the axe struck the tree and
glanced off, striking him on the leg below the
knee, cutting nearly half through the main
bone, the force of the blow breaking the re-
naming portion. A surgeon was soon called
and the bone set and at last accounts he was
doing WELL

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS OF THE
MURDER.

1t seems evident from the testimony of the
witnesses at tie inquest held upon the body of
Miss Mary c. Tucker, that the killing was pre-
meditated. Peter Carroll, one of the witnesses,
testified that Henry Zeigler, in conversation
with him sometime before the murder took
place, said that if he did not get Miss Tucker
she should never do anybody else any good
Further testimony went on to show that Zeigler
came to town with Ebridge Tucker IA brother
of Miss Mary Tucker) on the 2Sth July, and
returned home with him about o'clock p. m,
and while on the way home from town said
that Miss Mary was angry with him. After
going into the house, Zeigler took up Elbridge
fuckers pistol and examined it, saying that it
was all right. Tucker told Zeigler to bo care
full with the pistol as it was loaded, and some
time afterwards Miss Mary remarked to him
that it was not rig u for young man to carry
a pistol. At the time she said this young
Tucker had gone to bed, but a young man
named Brooks Galley was present with Miss
Mary. Soon after she made the remark about
carrying weapons, Zeigler presented the pistol
and shot her through the forehead, the ball
entering the brain. She fell over and said,
"Henry what made you do that" and he made
no reply. He then procured water and a towel
and washed the blood from her face twice
Brooks Galley asked Zeigler to assist him in
removing her to another place, and ne refused
Young Tucker who was in bed at the time, 10
o'clock p. N.Y. upon hearing the report OF the
pistol, got up and came to the assistance OF
his sister, He examined the pistol and found
one of the chambers empty, one ball having
been fired out. Fe then went out after assis-
tance, and during his absence Zeigler left the
premises running. Before assistance arrived,
Miss Tucker had breathed her last.
An inquest was held upon her body on the
following morning, the 29th July, Trial JUS
tice John Bryant acting Coroner. The verdict
of the jury was, that "Miss Mary c. Tucker
came to her death at 10 o'clock, on the night
of 2Sth July, in her fathers house, from pistol
ball entering the forehead and brain the pistol
being in the hands of one Henry zeigler."
Parties soon started in pursuit of zeigler,
and succeeded in capturing him the following
day at Ruckersyille, Ga. The parties who
captured him were Messrs. Wiles, John II.
Morgan and Andrew Craft They brought
him to this place the next day, and lodged him
in Jail. Zcigler states that the shooting was
accidental that he examined the pistol before
presenting it at Miss Tucker, and could not
perceive any loads in it,

people began to arrive from all sections of the
County as we'll as from town, and by 103 o'clock

After the speaking was over, dinner was an

der the direction of the Chairman was marched
to the table, all the ladies passing through the
arched gateway to the interior and then
around, the gentlemen marching on the out
side, taking their respective places at the table,
the ladies remaining within. The edbles
which were various, bountiful and excellent,
were disposed of in manner that evinced the
presence of no dyspeptic appetites. After din
ner, those who delighted in tripping the light
fantastic" enjoyed themselves on the green
beneath the oaks, and when the time came for
them to leave, were 10th to quit so pleasant
place. Late in the afternoon the gathering
broke up and all went to their homes, carrying
with them many and pleasant remembrances of
the days pleasure.

DEATH OF 4 PROMINENT CITIZEN

It is with sadness that we record the death
of DR.. G. L. Gaillard, an old, estimable and
prominent citizen of this County, which oc-
Cured at his residence, about 10 miles north
of this place. on the night Of the 29th July
last, after long and painful illness, occasioned
by dropsy. The deceased was born in ST.
James Santee, formerly one of the lowe country
parishes, but now included in Charleston
County, and came to the up-country at an early
age, and settled in what was then known as
Pendleton District, but which is now Anderson
County. He was twice elected to the Legsla-
ture, once when he was quite young man
from Pendleton District, and during the war
from Anderson District. He was a local
Methodist Preacher for a number of years, and
was most Jealous in his endeavors and teach
ings. During the last few years of his life he
devoted himself to his earlier profession of
Medicine, and did much good as Physician
He was earnest in whatever he undertook, and
did his utmost to do right. By his death the
County loses a most valuable citizen, the COM
munity true friend, and his bereaved family
kind and indulgent parent and protector.
At the time of his death he was in his 66th
year. Beloved and respected by all who knew
him, his memory will long be cherished. His
remains were brought to this place on Thurs
day evening last, and inferred in the Presby-
terian Cemetery. Our sympathies are with
the bereaved family in their present sad afiic-
