LOCAL AFFAIRS.

SrlLL ASoTHgR NIcroRY.-Mr. Clabaugh
is TO be congratulated, again has his horse,
Niator, been successful At Saratoga, N.
Y, on Saturday last he won the second best
two-mile race ever run in this country. The
New York Worid in speaking of the race,
says The race was for purse of 500, the
entries being Clabaugh's Viator, carrying
lis pounds Mr.. Daniels Brother to Bas-
sett, l0l pounds, and Vests Preston, l0l
pounds, the distance being two miles. Niator
was first away to good start, Brother to
Bassett second, Preston third. The horses
seemed to make no effort at speed around the
turn, and Brother to Bassett went TO the front
and led half length at the quarter pole,
Preston second, two lengths ahead Of Visitor,
Bassett run under n strong pull down the
baekstretch, leading two lengths, which he
carried TO the half mile, Preston second, half
mile in front of Viator. At the three.qnar.
ter pole the horse were running nose and
tail, and as they came into the homestretch
there was no daylight between them, Brother
to Bassett first, Preston second and Viator
third. When they reached the judges stand
Preston was close to Bassetts head-time
l.46--and they started on the second mile
yoked, two lengths in front of Viator. Going
around the upper tnrn Brother to Bassett was
so far from the fence that Viator dashed in
there and in an instant was in front. Viator
galloped strong, but under pull down the
backstretch, and Mt the halfmile pole he was
length and half in advance Of Preston,
Brother to Bassett third. Going around the
lower turn Holloway let go of Viator's head,
and the colt opened a gap of three lengths on
Preston, the latter being two lengths in front
of Bassett, who was dying away gradually.
At the three.quarter pole Yiator, having been
taken in hand again, was two lengths in ad'
vance Of Preston, the latter three lengths in
front of Bassett. Coming up the homestretch
Vialor galloped along under pull and won
the race by three lengths, Preston second,
very tired, ms he staggered all the way mp
the stretch, and Brother to BasSett dozen
lengths behind The time of the second mile
was l5l, and of the two miles 337. This is
the best two miles ever run by four-year
old carrying lls pounds, The performance
of Yiator, at the weights and in the time
made establish him as certainly the second
four year.old of the year that has shown in
the East-admitting Tom 0chiltree to be the
best, which the kenmckians do not, they
claiming that place for Ten Brock. In the
pools Viator sold for $500, $3.50, 81, 100 and

LOCAL MATTERS.
DEATH OF MRS. BE. wH1rEER.


Our community was ine1pressibly shocked
to learn the sudden and unexpected death
of Mrs. Annie c. Whitner, wife of Maj. b.
F. Whitner, which occurred at "Rose Hill
ON Sunday morning last, about nine o'clock,
after brief illness. Mrs. Whitner was held
in high estimation by all classes of our COM
munity, and was unusually endowed with
those graces and strength Of character which
mark the true woman in her proper sphere
of life. Her energy and perseverance were
exhibited in, every good work for the church
and the community, and theloss sustained
in her death Is no uncommon bereavement.
II Is q Just and beautiful tribute to her mem
ory that such expressions find an echo in
every household. The loss to her family
cannot be estimated, while stricken nus
band and desolate children can alone know
the anguish of that sorrow which has fallen
upon their once happy circle.
The funeral services were conducted at
the Presbyterian Church on Tuesday morn
ing by Rev. D. E. Frierson, whose tender
and truthful tribute to the departed ava
ksned al response in the hearts Of all pres
emf. Her. remains were then inferred in the
adjoining churchyard. r....

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

The Court Of General Sessions and
Common Pleas met on Wednesday morn
ing, his Honor Judge Cooke presiding.
The Grand Jury was organized by the
appointment of Mr.. Kenon Breazeale as
foreman, after which the Judge proceed
ed to charge them upon their duty in
clear and lucid manner. He called their
attention to the oath they had taken re-
luiring them to keep the TRANSACTIONS
within their room secret, and to present
offenders without malice, hope, favor,
fear or affection. The Judge urged upon
them the faithful performance of their
duty as of the highest importance. He
then defined the various offences likely
to come before the Grand Jury, after
which he instructed them to investigate
every public Office, calling attention 70
the duties of each of the officers. he
took occasion to say that he believed the
Clerk of Anderson County was the only
Clerk in the Sth Circuit who has fully
discharged his duty in regard to the ae-
posit of money in his hands in his ofh-
cial capacity. He thought from the ap-
pearance of the juries that some progress
had been made,by the Jury Commission
'ers in selecting proper jurors, and tnat
the Grand Jury should look into the sys-
tenn of drawing the juries in this County.
It is the business of the Court to look
after any Irregularities, not for the pur-
pose of prosecuting the officers unless
there is willful neglect, but for the pur-
pose of correcting the evils by calling
attention to them. The practice OF CALI
ing upon the Legislature to allow special
taxes is unnecessary, as the Constitution
vests the power in the Commissioners.
1t may, however, be proper to have the
sanction of the Legislature, although II
is unnecessary. The necessities of the
country, at present, call for rigid en-
forcement of the law to prevent an in
crease Of crime. There should be Wig
orous effort made to prevent the peddhng
Of spirits, and the good people OF this
County should unite to put a stop to this
injurious traffic. He thinks an occa-
sional lecture from the press on tempe
rance, and less fuss about politics, would
do good. He thought the correction OF
home evils would do much to correct
evils abroad. He believes crime is on
the decrease in this Circuit, and in efforts
to correct the evils of the present, no e1-
tremes should be INDUCED, as it will
bring untold evils. However willing
the Court may be to correct evils, it is
powerless without the cooperation OF
the people of the County.
The criminal business was then pro-
ceeded with, and it is understood that no
civil business requiring jury will be
taken up before next Monday.
