ssg- FATAL ACCIDENT By Coal Oh
On "Wednesday OF last week, the
2S,h of June, Edwin, a son Of Mr.. Geo
w. Miller, aged about nine years, resiI-
ing about s miles below town, met
with all accident which caused his death
in twen,y,iour hours. 1t seems that he
had kindled fire in the cooking stove
at home, aud in order 10 make the fire
burn more freely, he undertook to pour
oil from the can upon the fire. In an
instant the can exploded and he was
eryeloped in flames. lie Immediately
ran out the door and into pond of
water, about one hundred yards distant,
which cx,inguished the flames, but not
until nearly all his clothing was burned
off him. He fingered until the follow
ing evening when death put an end TO
his suffering. He was sprightly, in
telligent and promising little fellow,and
his sad death is much to be regretted.

escape from death.

How DRINKING CURES APoPLExY.-
It is the essential nature of all wines and
spirits to send an increased amount of
blood to the brain. The first effect of
taking a glass of wine or stronger form
of alcohol is to send the blood there faster
than common; hence, the circulation
that gives the red face. It increases the
activity of the brain, and it works faster,
and so does the tongue. But as the blood
goes to the brain faster than common, it
returns faster, and no special harm re-
suits. But suppose man keeps on
drinking, the blood is sent to the brain
SO fast in such quantities that, in order to
make room for it, the arteries have to en-
large themselves; they increase in size,
and, in doing so, they press against the
more yielding, Aaccid veins which carry
the blood out of the brain, and thus dl-
minish their size, their pores, the result
being that blood is not only carried to
the arteries of the brain faster than is
natural or healthful, but is prevented
from leaving it as fast as usual; hence. a
double set Of causes of death are set in
motion. Hence, man may drink
enough of brandy or other spirits in a
few hours, or even minutes, to bring on a
fatal attack of apoplexy. This is literal
ly being dead drunk.-Dr. Hall.

General Wade Hampton. Z

The campaign of 1876 has, since its
opening, been one of great results. 1t
will be remembered many years to come
not only for the historical event which
will mark its close, but for the episodes
which illustrates its progress.
General Hampton, who has been, so
far, eminently successful in steering the
ship of reform through the troubled and
muddy waters of the present campaign,
is, by his nomination for governor of
South Carolina, the most prominent man
in the ranks of our Southern reformers.
This admirable man, regarded in his
entirety, estimated as warrior states
man and patriot standing in. a glorious
roll of great Americans, deserves the
mighty acclaim with which politicians,
press and people have greeted his pas
sage from private into public life. 1t has
been the privilege of his happy nature
to cultivate personal friendship with all
classes of his countrymen, the colored
people not excepted, SO that his State has
warmed towards him, as he is going to
reach the culminating honor of his life,
the honor to become the redeemer of his
native State. This personal sympathy is
as rare between statesman and nation
as it is delightful. = ~. 'i
We consider General Hampton to bea
mastery speaker; we call him, though
we are blessed with many an excellent
orator, the best and most powerfulspeak
er of the campaign. His speeches are
void of pretty gossamer phrases which
might give them a certain but useless
briIliancy; but they abound in honest,
entreating language, which, coming from
the heart, takes hearts by storm. His
fine temper, natural dignity of thought
and bearing, and his consummate tact in
the adjustment Of violent contentious,
exert themselves with brilliant effect in
the present campaign. He is never
weary, is never caught mapping by his
foes; and if the people ofSouth Carolina,
seeing him thus brave, become more
trusting and more hopeful every day, who
will blame them for it? As the spring
of the campaign:is Frightening into sum-
mer, and the work of reform becomes
rougher and more hard, we see him dou-
BILE his energies, and see the eye of every
true South Carolinian follow admiringly
his victorious course. feff
His remedy for the wrongs of his ma
tive State was heroic. he would leave
peaceful home, which gave him every
thing that can make man happy, to ex-
change it, led by the truest patriotism,
with the perilous road of a political cam
paign.
Whatever the results of his patriotic
endeavors may be-his State viii be
proud of him and will guard his memory
as beautiful and sacred trust.-Jour7adl

WILL THEY wIN7

The whites are so united and determ-
ined, and have so many "rihe teams"
that they would certainly win were it not
for the large Federal force in the State,
well scattered, and with positive orders
to see that the blacks have all the rights
guaranteed to them by the Democratic
platforms and Scott Lord resolutions
As it is, they may win anyway. One
day I think they will, and the next day
think they will not, and am all the time
of the opinion that the chances are pretty
evenly balanced. As to the Federal
troops "intimidating" the whites, the
very idea is so positively ridiculous that
l can not write about it with patience.
The stuff which appears in Northern
Democratic papers about the army being
used to intimidate the whites, and pre-
vent a fair election, is idiotic. Every
Federal soldier and every musket and
every cannon in the service might all be
moved into South Carolina, and it would
not keep one white man from voting, not
one. Everybody here understands this
perfectly we'll. What the South Carolina
editors have to say about it is for effect
up North, and not because they fear that
all the troops in creation will keep sin
gle white man from voting. It is per-
fectly clear to me, and think to any
man who comes into the State and ac-
ouaints himself with the condition of
things, that, without the presence of
TROOPS, the whites would overbear and
override the blacks to such an extent that
no fair election could be held. There
might not be bloodshed, but simply a
sort of terrorism established that would
frighten the blacks from voting the
strajrht ticket, as nine hundred and nine

AUGUSTA, September 19.
This morning almost as many rumors
as were circulated yesterday were flying
about the city in reference to the troubles
near Ellenton. A different report could
be obtained at every street corner. at
about II o'clock a telegram was received
from q young man from this city, who
was at the scene of the disturbance, to
his employer, stating that fight had
occurred the night previous, and that two
white men had been killed. A little later
another telegram was received from an
other party announcing that Mr.. John
Williams had been killed and Mr.. SAM
uel Dunbar wounded the previous day.
During the morning several rifle clubs,
mounted, from Edgefeld County crossed
the bridge and rode down Broad street
towards Sand Bar Ferry, which they in
tended to cross on their way to Rouse's
Bridge. Among these were Capt. Bussy's
company, twenty-five men, and Capt.
Boilers company, twenty men. Upon
the arrival of the Aiken accommodation
train we learned that the two companies
of Federal troops atAiken had received
orders, on Monday night, to proceed at
once to the scene of action, and at 10
o'clock in the evening they took up their
line of march across the country for
Rouse's Bridge. Three men from each
company were left at Aiken in charge Of
the camp. The distance from Aiken to
the bridge is about fifteen miles. AT 8
o'clock the passenger train OF the Port
Royal Railroad left the city and proceed
ed to Ellenton, were, it met the up train
which reached that point the day pre,y1l;; rev;
GUS from Port Royal. The first named
train then returned to Augusta and the
other to Port Royal, in order that the
regular schedule might be resumed to
day. There we're rumors that the train
was compelled to returned to Augusta on
account of fighting going on along the
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-04-23
