WIND AND RAIN STORM.

About o'clock last Saturday afternoon,
this town was visited by severe storm of
wind and rain, which, so far as we can learn,
was general throughout the county. No cas-.
ualties are reported, though great deal of
damage was sustained by fencing which was
blown down, and the uprooting of trees and
destruction of forest timber. The storm in
this county seems to have been most severe at
Fort Mill. By "a letter from that place, we
learn that D. H. Whites gin-house was blown
down, and house in course Of erection by A.
A. Bradford was blown off the foundation and
the framework considerably wrecked. In
that vicinity, also, the fences were scattered
badly and great many trees blown down.

FERTILE ERS.

The increased demand for fertilizers in
York county over previous years, may be In
ferred by the shipments over the Chester and
Lenoir road this season, as compared with
last In 1874 the number of tons shipped
over the road was 662, Of which 511 tons
were sold in Yorkville, and the remaining
Isl tons were sold at the stations between
this place and Chester. During the present
season Se1 tons have been shipped over the
road to Yorkville, and lob tons to other sta
tions on the road, making total Of 1924 tons
shipped over the road this season. TO this
may be added fully as much more, shipped to
Rock Hill and Fort Mill, and to points on
the Airline railroad.

A CARD FROM c. C. MACOY, ESQ.
CHESTER, S. c., April 2Sth, 1875

CHESTER, S. c., April 18th, 1875.
Mr.. Editor: The statements, insinuations,
innuendoes, etc., contained in your Chester
correspondence of date April 18th, eigned
"Qu1," as far as they relate to myself in con-
nection with the joint resolution of the Gen.
eral Assembly in regard to the past indebted
ness of Chester county, are without the least
foundation in truth and am much surprised
that your correspondent, with whom l am well
acquainted, and for whom have entertained
high regard, should have published this
matter, which is intended to cast odium and
suspicion upon a public officer, without 6rst
having ascertained its probability or truth.
have not, at any time, or in any way, been
concerned in an arrangement or attempt to
impose claims of doubtful character upon
the county of Chester, and I do not know that
others have, in the manner spoken of by your
correspondent. My own idea Of the joint
resolution mentioned by your correspondent,
is that it was not gotten up as fraudulent
measure. do not believe that the member
who introduced the resolution intended there
by to defraud the county of Chester, for the
reason that the claims must be examined by
the Board of County Commissioners, and the
joint resolution does not provide otherwise:
And further, he could not have expected my
assistance, inasmuch as l knew nothing Of it;
had never been approached on the subject,
and could not be approached on such sub
ject. Further, the member probably knew,
what take to be fact, that off the claims
against the county, which your correspondent
states to be about $4,000, less than one'fourth
of the amount is in the hands of Republicans.
I do not know Of any attempt, 80 far, to
establish fraudulent claims against this coun-
ty Several claims have been presented, in
pursuance of the provisions of the joint res
olution, and they have been turned over to
the Board of County Commissioners tor ex-
animation. But, so far, the Commissioners
have not acted on these claims, for the
reason, as they state, that they have no
blank checks, etc" and for this reason solely,
they have not examined or passed upon any
claim as yet, and have not refused payment
of any claim or claims.
My idea of your correspondents story of
supposed effort on my part and others, to i'm
pose doubtful claims upon the county Of Ches.
ter, arose from the mutterings of some indi'
viduals who desired little cheap notoriety,
&c. An individual has the right to proclaim
his honesty, and to denounce corruption where
it exists, but should be careful of denouncing
it where it does not exist. Until your cores
pondent can produce some proof as to his
charges, other than the suppositions of this or
that man, who knows only what he has heard,
and does not know where or from whom he
heard it, he should not make them; and where
they prove untrue, he will see the injustice of
the thing. Respectfully,
C. G. MACOY, Clerk Circuit Court.

FORT MILL.

We learn by letter from Fort Mill that
the Town Council of that thriving place is
having a great deal of work done on the

The Revival Of Nationality.

The Revival or Natl0nallty.
- The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
says that, upon the conclusion Of Gen. Bart
let's eloquent speech in behalf of peace and
union at the Lexington centennial banquet,
he was approached by stranger, who said to
him: General, am Southerner; l was a
good rebel but now l am a true Union man,
and l only needed to hear such words as yours
from Northern mans lips" The Republican
thinks the cheeks of some of the legislators
present must have tingled while Gen. Bart
lett was reciting the incident of the return, by
Confederate officer, of the captured colors
of Massachusetts, regiment, and expresses
the opinion that the speeches of Gen. Bartlett
and Gov Chamberlain will do more toward
restoring the Union and its flag to the old
place in the affection of the Southern people,
than all the enforcement legislation that has
been had since 1865.
The Bowen Libel Suit.
- AS we stated last week, the prosecution
of the Charleston Ne,ps and Courier by the
State for libelling G. G. Bowen, present sher-
ifF of Charleston county, ended in mstrial.
There were eleven jurors in favor of acquital,
and one in favor of conviction and it is
stated that the one juror, who from the first,
insisted on a verdict of guilty, was the only
Juror taken from a list of additional jurymen
furnished to Judge Reed by Bowen himself.
Under these circumstances mstrial is equiv
alent to verdict of not guilty, on which fact
we congratulate the proprietors of the Neus
and Courier as signal vindication of the
course of that paper in exposing the vilainies
of the Bowen ring, which for several years
has had control of political affairs in Char
lesion while the result may be considered
as no less victory for the advocates of good
government throughout the State.
AS sequel to the libel suit, on Thursday
last, Bowen was arrested on the affidavit of
Eli G. Grimes, charging him with instigating
the murder of Col. White, and after hearing
before Judge Reed, the accused was admitted
to bail in the sum of $4,000 to appear at the
next term of the Court Of General Sessions
for Georgetown county, where the murder OF
Col White was committed.
The Case of Ex.Treasurer Parker.
- The attorneys of ex-Treasurer Niles u.
Parker have filed answers in both the cases
against him, and it is probable that the mat
ter will come up for hearing at an early day
