It becomes our duty to chronicle
the commission Of a crime IN our sec
ton so inhumaI and revolving thai
civilization trembles at the mere men
tion of such an atrocity. Miss Marga.
ret G.. Rivenbark, of Union Township,
in this county, made al affidavit be
fore Acting Justices Of the Peace, S.
@. Fillyaw and Rufus Garriss, to the
effect that on the night of the oath
day of December last Liberty Bouev.
colored. at and III the township of
Holly did, with force and arms, break
into the dwelling house of Mr.. Vii
lam ]. Gurganus, where she vas then
stopping, and did there commit a rape
upon her. The particulars of thus
fendish act, as We understand them,
are peculiarly borrifyiug
It appears that Miss Rivenbark. who
is highly respectable young lady,
ag d about 20 years. was sitting at the
house OF Mr.. Gurganus', and was there
on the night in question. Liberty
Boney who is described as course. vui-
gar negro, knocked at the door of Mr..
Gurganus' dwelling and demanded ad-
mittance. Not being admitted as
quickly as possible he forced his way
into the house and proceeded at once
TO accomplish his hellish purpose in
she presence of Mr.. Gurganus, his
wife and family, cautioning them that
il they made any outcry he would kill
them. Any resistance that Mr. Cur
ganus, who is a feeble man, could
have made WIS rendered vain,
and himself paralyzed with fear
by the presence of three armed negroes
on the outside of the house, who it
seemed accompanied Boney to the
house and remained there for the pur
pose of aiding and abetting him in the
consumation of the crime After ac-
complishing the deed Boney fed with
his associates.
A party was made up as soon as the
facts became known who started in
pursuit of the fiend, but they were
unsuccessful in capturing him. After
the making of the affidavit, as above
stated by Miss Rivenbark, the process
Of law was Issued for the arrest of
Boney, which he has thus far success
fully eluded.
In accordance with the statute in
such cases, made and pr ovided, BonSy
has been outlawed by proclamation of
the Justices above named.

Fire at Point CanweIl.

We regret to learn that the dwelling
house of Mr.. A. J. Mott, near Point
Caswell, was destroyed by fire on last
Friday night, about II o'clock. The
fire caught on the roof it is supposed
from a spark, and the family, who
we're asleep at the time, knew nothing
OF it until the roof was in light blaze.
a part Of the furniture was also burn
ed with the building. The loss is es-
hmsted at 81 500, on which there was
insurance for 5000 with the Penn
Fire Insurance Company, of Phila-
delphia, of which Mr.. John W.
dordon is the agent in this city.

The Alleged Murder.

The jury of inquest in the case OF
Grace Watson, the colored woman who
died SO suddenly at Point Caswell on
the Monday of last week, rendered II
verdict that deceased came to her
death by appoplexy." The inquest
was held by A. V. Horrell, acting
Coroner. who was appointed as such
by Justice Thompson. Coroner Hew-
lett arrived during the progress Of the
inquest when the matter was sur
rendered into his hands.
DIR. Geo. F. Lewis, who was called
upon to make an examination of the
body of deceased, testified as follows:
After thorough and careful exami-
nation Of the body of Grace Watson, [
find no evidence of violence or iniury.
On examination of the brain [ find an
erupture of blood vessel, which, in
my opinion, was sufficient and did
cause her death: or, in other words,
in my opinion she died of apoplexy.

New Arrangement.

An arrangement has been perfected
by which passengers arriving here on
the Carolina Central Railway, bound
North, can go through without stop
ping over night III the city. As the
arrival of the above train at its depot
in this city is simultaneous with the
departure of the train on the Whining
ton & Weldon r. r., there IS time
in which to drive from one depot to
the other, and passengers are therefore
taken from the Carolina Central train,
at Meares' Bluff, and brought on to The
city to Union Depot on the VIII. Col.
& Aug. train, where they can take the
Wilmington & Weldon train, bound
North.

Broken Friendship.

Friendship is good deal like china.
It is very durable and beautiful as long
as it is quite whole ; but break it, and all
the cement in the world will never quite
repair the damage.
You may stick the pieces together so
that at distance, it looks nearly as we'll
as ever, but it won't stand usage, and it
won't hold hot water. It is always ready
to deceive you if you trust it, and it is on
the whole very worthless thing, fit on
ly to be put empty on a shelf and forgot
ten there.
The finer and the more delicate it is
the more utter the ruin! A mere ac-
ouaintanceship, which needs only little
humor to keep it up, may be coarsely
puttied Like that old yellow bowl in the
store-cToset, but tenderness and trust,
and sweet exchange of confidence, can
no more be yours when angry words and
thoughts have broken them, than can
those delicate porcelain tca-cups which
were splintered to pieces be restored to
their original excellence. The slightest
crack will spoil the true ring, and you
had better search for a new friend than
try to mend the old one.
And all this has nothing to do with
forgiveness. One may forgive and be
forgiven, but the deed has been done,
and the word said; the flowers and the
gliding are gone. The formal making
up" especially between two women, is
of no more avail than the wonderful ce-
ments that have made a cracked ugliness
of the china vase that you expected to be
your 'Joy forever" :,
Handled delicately, washed to purity
in the waters Of truth, confided to no
careless and unsympathizing hands,
friendship may last two lives out, but it
"does not pay to mend it. Once broken,
it is spoiled forever.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1875-10-07
