BELroN, S. c., Jan. 8, 1876.
MEssRs. ED1ToRs: Your space does not
admit of our moralizing over the exit of the
old year and the advent of the new. To the
reflective mind profitable lessons will readily
suggest themselves; the unrefective would
not appreciate them if presented. Christmas
at Belton has been joyous time; the more
so because young and old joined in innocent
pastimes, and good order and almost perfect
sobriety prevailed. Santa Claus made his
traditional visit to the entire delight of the
children who delight in toys, fireworks and
sweetmeats, while appropriate amusements
afforded to the older folk grateful relaxa-
ton from the duties of life. On Christmas
day the Rev. Robert King preached an ap-
propriate sermon to an appreciative audi
ence. The invisibles from Honea Path,
Meals Creek and Beaverdam Joined with
those from Bolton in a fancy ride, and at
night our amateur minstrels gave very
creditable performance in Stringer's Hall.
On the night of the 2Sth the charades opened
in the same hall, and although the weather
was horrible, very good audience was pres
ent After an opening piece by the compa-
ny, Warren D. Wilkes, Esq, according to
previous announcement, delivered a temp
erance lecture, which was well received. He
treated, the subject in q three-fold aspect
to ourself, to God and to society. After his
lecture wasconcluded, the young gentlemen
and ladies gave a series of charades. which
were quite laughable and entertaining. On
Thursday night. the 29th, the fair for the
benefit of the Sons of Temperance and of
the Baptist Church, was opened in Stringer's
Hall, which was draped with evergreens and
conveniently arranged with post office and
tables for eatables and fancy articles. The
attendance of old and young was large, and
the arrangements complete. Running the
entire length of the hall tables were spread,
loaded with viands which drew out the cur
rency bountifully. The fair was complete
success, resultingin handsome sum, which
will enable the Sons to fit up their hall, and
enable the church to purchase bell. The
spirit of the visitors was excellent and all
seemed to enjoy it.
And now we have entered upon the New
Year, not knowing wha; betides us. We
hope it may be a prosperous year, but at the
threshold our people are met with heavy
taxes and large indebtedness and small re-
sources to pay with. How our farmers who
are dependent upon the merchants for sup
plies to raise another crop are to get along,
we do not very clearlyperceive. Then, too,
our people are out of heart about our State
government No retreh hchment, no reform,
and, to make the matter worse, Whipper,
Moses and Virgins elevtted to the Bench,
and the party and color fne clearly defined.
Among honest men, BY whatever party
name they may be callei there can be no
difference of opinion, andamong such there
should be prompt and united organization
and action.

The Verdict.

A jury is supposed to represent fairly the
general Intelligence of the community from
which it's taken. The guilt or innocence
of pare., the value or worthlessness of an
article is Established by its verdict. A ver
dict has reently been rendered by jury
composcdof the best men taken from every
country o. the globe; the evidence was
clear and Impartial, and thousands of wit
nesses gaverheir testimony. The trial was
a long one occupying ten years, and the
jury have atlast brought in a verdict which
was, ''That Or. -Urr's PILLS possess greater
power over lisease than any medicine in

It is pronounced by all q righteous verdict.

MURDER, ROBBERY AND ARsoN.-One OF
the most horrible tragedies it has ever been
our lot to record occurred in Newberry Coun-
ty on the night of the oath December. The
store of Messrs. Holloway & Reid, at Po-
maria, was burned to the ground, and it was
afterwards discovered that Mr.. Hayne D.
Reid, one of the partners, was brutally muir
dered, and after the fire had partially sub
sided his charred remains were discovered in
the ruins. Besides, it was ascertained that
the safe had been robbed of $1,000 in cur
rency, together With gold and silver coin to
the amount of ssO;. also, fine double-case
gold watch, the private property of the dc
ceased, was taken from his person, with 9TH
ar yaluables. The total loss in money and
goods was not less than $4,000, on which
there was:no insurance. This triple crime
of murder, robbery and arson was commit
ted by four negroes, who were arrested few
DAYS afterwards by Detectives Canton and
Hubbard, and one of them has confessed
that Mr. Reid was murdered by them be-
fore the store was fired or robbed. The fire
was discovered in the early part of the night,
and all efforts to save the building proved
futile.
The names of the parties arrested are W.
r. Thompson, Henry T. Williams, Wade
Cooke and Calvin Wilson. A large amount
of the stolen goods was found on the prem
;scs of Thompson, who is an old offender,
and well known to the people of Anderson.
He was convicted of horse stealing soon
after the war, before Judge J. S. Murray, of
the District Court, and was sentenced to the
penitentiary for twenty years, from which
he was pardoned upon forged petition,
containing the names of Mr.. Murray and
many other prominent citizens of Anderson.
On his way to the penitentiary, while under
charge of John r. Cochran, he made his
escape and was afterwards recaptured. If
we are not mistaken, he was again sent to the
penitentiary for the crime of burglary in
Barnwell County, and was pardoned out by
Ex.Gov. Moses. He is villain of the deep
est dye, and Judge Lynch ought to admin
lister Justice in his case without delay.
We are glad to state that the money,
watch and other valuables were recovered
from an adjacent lot, where these murderers
and robbers had deposited their booty under
ground for safe-keeping. The surviving
member of the firm, Mr.. Thomas w. Hollo-
way, has our sympathies in this frightful
calamity. His late partner is spoken of as
a Young man of excellent character, and his
terrible fate is great shock to numerous
friends in the State.

ELSEWHERE we give good epitome ol
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's lecture las!
evening on the subject of Religion in
Education" Mr.. Beecher received the
compliment Of the attention of one of the
largest aud most intelligent audiences
which has ever greeted lecturer in Wash
ingtop. To say that his subject was han
died in mastery and highly satisfactory
manner is needless. His abilities and large
experience as public teacher and writer
during the last quarter of century, ante
cedent to his recent difficulties, have pecu.
liarly fitted him for dissecting, analyzing
and Illuminating the subject upon which
he spoke. His voice and manner Of speech
are quite fascinating, while there is fer
vor and earnestness in his persuasive elo-
uueEce which enchains his hearers.

TEE election of Governor CJke to the
United States Senate from Texas is bitter
pill even to many of the Democrats of the
State. Coke is bold and outspoken poll
tician, who not only glories in his past
record as Confederate, but defends it to
the best of his ability. He claims that the
Democrats of Texas owe it to themselves
to send men to Congress who truly repre-
sent the sentiments of their constituents.
This he says Judge Hancock could not do,
for he was Union man during the war.
He admits the ability and patriotism of the
Judge, but then he is not their sort. So
We have another secesh Senator elect
ready TO take the place of Union man.
Oh it's the same old rebel yell There is
no doubt about that.

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.


Congress returned to its labors yester-
day, and the House floundered along after
Its own peculiar fashion in its pretense of
reducing expenses by piling up increased
bills for witness fees and printing of hear
say testimony. Mr.. RIndalrs efforts to
impress the country with his views of
economy are too transparent to produce
any lasting effect. 1t is very easy for him
to pretend that a Government of forty mil
lions of people, including an army of 120,-
600 pensioners, can be maintained and ad-
ministered as cheaply as was one of twenty
millions of population and a few hundred
pensioners before the war. But the peo-
pie understand that such thing is prsc-
tical impessibility. The vast increase of
population and of pensioners since the time
when the Democratic party held the reins
Of power shows but q tithe of the aug
nented expenditures which have been
precipitated upon the country by the Dem
ocratic war Of the rebellion. 1t was that
war which necessitated the internal taxes
and the expenses of their collection. 1t
was that war which necessitated the use
of credit paper money and the general in
stitution of the credit system throughout
the country, causing the present high
prices to rule and reign. And, then, our
postal service alone costs twenty millions
more than in 1866, while the mileage of
mail transportation has increased 131 per
cent. since the close of the war. The free
1a1;r,or,, -, a,t h.
Gratis have such a desire to squelch cost
scarcely million in 1868 and yielded in
local matter delivered less than half that
sum, while in 1875 it cost 81, $50, ,041 and
yielded on local matter alone the hand
some sum of 81 ,947, $50. In ten years the
cost has increased only 8S per cent, while
the receipts have been augmented during
the same period by 300 per cent. And
yet these stupid Democratic economists,
with these facts before them, have been
fighting for days to cut off free delivery as
an economical measure. Saving at the
spigot to waste at the bung."
Again, with the facts staring them in
the face that while our ordinary postal
revenues have increased 63 per cent. in
seven years, ending June 80, 1875. the
total expenditures have only increased AZ
per cent; the grants from the Treasury,
