Fresh Water from the Spring at any
Moment.

rwell-knownf fellow citizens, Msssrs
William Spires, E. G.. Whitaker and j..
II. Gardner have applied for patent for
the "New Improved Water fletcher"
at Landrum's Store, the other day, we
saw one of these labor-saying machines
in operation; and really it performs re-
narkably well. When the weather is
; 59elsment, or at night, you may stand
= der shelter, or in your piazza, and
1eew up bucket of water even from q
distant spring in few moments, and
with very little exertion.
The improvement consists of iron
braces nearly upright, instead of wooden
arms in horizontal position. The New
Water fletcher is so cheap as to be within
the reach of almost every Farmer-in
fact, any Farmer can do the most of the
work about it himself. If we are not
greatly mistaken, generations, yet un-
born, will rise up to call the Inventor,
Mr.. E. G. Whitaker, not only blessed,
but of happy memory. May he and his
coad tutors reap rich reward for their
labors in behalf of toiling humanity. SO
mote it be!

COED BLOODED MURDER AND
SWIFT RETRIBUTION!
CAPT. A. F. BUTLER MURDERED IN THE
PRESENCE OF His WIFE BY NEGRO
The MURDERER LYNcHED IN SEVEN
Hours AFTEEwARD.

Capt. A. F. Butler, Agent Of the South
Carolina Railroad Company in this city,
was shot in the head by q pistol in the
hands of negro named Gabriel Murrell,
about u o'clock yesterday evening. Capt.
Butler is now lying at Deaths door, and
it is not thought that he will live through
the night. The circumstances of the shoot
ing were these: Capt. Butler and his wife,
with little niece, the daughter of Mr..
Tarver, were returning homein street car
from the cemetery, whittier they had been
to care for the graves of some loved and
lost ones. At the crossing Of Broad and
Marbury streets the car stopped to let
them of. Gabriel Murrell and his broth
er, Michael, were at or near the rear of
the car, either on the steps or near the
back door. Mrs. Butler asked Gabriel
Murrell to move out of the way so tnat
she could pass. He did not comply with
her request until she had slightly pushed
him with her hand. Capt. Butler then,
seeing the conduct of the negro said to
him "Why don't you get out of the Ia
dy's way; if yon act inthat manner again
1 shall hit YOU" and stepped from the
car with his wife and the little girl. lie
had hardly gotten off when Michael Muir
rell, as we areinformed, pushed Mrs. But
Ter to one side, and Gabriel Murrell drew
pistol and shot Capt. B. as stated above.
The ball entered just above the left tenn
pie, pen etrating his brain, and lodged in
his head beyond the reach of the surgeons
hand. He fell at once to the ground, but
was speedily lifted and carried to his
home, on the corner of Greene end Mar
bury streets, two blocks from where he
was shot.
Murrell, the negro assassin, fled as soon
as he shot, but was pursued aAd captured
by officer Tinley, who sent pistol ball
after the flying, murderous black villain,
which grazed his lip After he was hit
by this ball, he stopped and placed his
hand to his pocket as ii he were going
to draw pistol, but when Officer Tinley
levelled his pistol full at his breast he
threw up his hands and gave up and was
carried to the guard house. Michael Muir
rell was captured by Constable Geo, Boh-
Ter and Officer Sharp, not however with
out having, to be dubbed. Both the ne
rroes were gorkmen under VIM. Finch,
contractor, and are aged, apparently, from
80 10 35 years.

q It twas her fortune to have been under

DIED. at Batesburg, s. c., August End,
1874, ANDREW BATES, son of Capt. A.
d. and GEORGIA BATES, in the tenth
year of his age.
He was boy of much promise: Kind,
obediont, manly, pious, hewon the affec-
tions of all with whom he associated.
He was a member of the M. E. Church.
The writer will not soon forget the moral
courage he exhibited, the day he identi-
fed himself with the, people of God. His
short career is over, and he now enjoys
the blessedness of Heaven. May the be-
reaved family rejoin him there.
