AN UNFORTUNATE DIFFICULTY.

We regret to announce that difficulty
occurred on last Friday between two school
boys, about eighteen years old, near Hol-
lands Store, in which Frank Grow struck
Joseph O'Brian dangerous blow upon the
head with a rock. They had qnarrelled
over game sof marbles during recess and
came TO blows, by which |O'Brian had
knocked two of Crows teeth out, and
seemed to get the better of the fight. After
recess, and before they went TO the school,
the difficulty was renewed by calling each
other unpleasant epithets, fand Crowst5pck
O'Brian with a rock upon the ankle, and
while, ,the latter was STOPPING to get rock,
threw again and struck him upon the head,
cutting the skin and cracking the outer
table of the skull The wound is danger
Gus one, thought was hoped that O'Brian
would recover. The last accounts from him
were unfayosable, however, and Crow has
gone to; Georgia. - " ..,.
We regret this unfortunate occurrence, as
both these young men are sons of respecta-
BILE widow ladies, and have been neighbors
and friends of each other. The difficulty
was school-boy quarrel, and there was
doubtless no intention to inflict so severe
wound. It's to be hoped that o'Brian win
speedily recover from his injuries, and that
this misfortune will serve as warning to,
others not to let their passions get so much
the mastery over their judgments. -

Immediately, but as it is not the towns

only fixed it for temporary use. We hope
something may be done towards repairing
these bridges, for if they are allowed to re-
main as they now are it will not be long
until they will become unsafe for travel.

One of our merchants says the fence law
has been abolished in the politics of Ander-
son County, for there is no fence riding
among candidates. All are either Demo.
Gratis or Republicans. The remark is true
one, for the Independents are now regarded
as more contemplate than the most pro-
nounced Republican. The political opinion
of Anderson County is in most healthy
condition, and the prospects ofa very large
Democratic majority for State and County
officers are most encouraging. The other
counties of the State should abolish fences
for politicians.t - y =,

was granted, Mr.. Il. instructing them in

others without such associations who are
fully competent to discharge alfthe duties

patriotically placed personal feelings and
private interests in the background, and
offer to devote themselves to the advance

AHtExpLAHAr1oH RuBl1sHED.

We publish the Communication of "B,"
containing an, explanation in regard to- the
granting Of. the warrant for the arrest of
Wilson, which caused the trouble of which
we spoke in our last issue. We did not
know what Trial Justice issued the warrant
when we wrote the article referred to, but
that does not affect the propriety of the
course pursued in the matter. We have no
question that Mr.. Hawthorne acted consci-
entiously, but still we think he was wrong
in placing warrant for the arrest of q des-
perate white man in the hands of four ne
groes, as trouble was likely to ensue. Ifhis
regular constable was afraid to execute the
warrant, he should have lodged it, not in
the hands of four irresponsible negroes, but
in the hands of the Sheriff of Abbeyille
County. There is another reason why the
warrant should not have been given to the
negroes in question, which is, that it is al
ways dangerous and very bad policy to
place a warrant in the hands of the man
who takes it out, as the constable to serve
it. Of course man who takes out war
rant is provoked, and is more likely to COM
NIT e1cesses than one who simply had q
duty to perform. This is particularly true
of the negroes, who are ignorant of law,
and are governed to great extent by their
passions. While upon this subject we
would call attention to another fact not
generally known, which is, that a Trial JUS
tice is responsible for the actions of his con-
stable while engaged in serving process from
him, if he uses any other person than the
Sheriff or his deputy, and therefore he
should be careful in his appointments. We
DO not doubt that Mr.. Hawthorne will be
more guarded in his course hereafter, as he
is respectable and intelligent gentleman.
