TOPICS OF THE TIME.

In the ancient torture chambers at
Nuremberg, and in the noisome dun
geons of the prison at Venice, may still
be seen the terrible proofs of medieval
diabolism; but with all their internal en-
emery it is doubtful whether these
chambers of horror ever witnessed more
acute human agony than that which
seems to have been produced in the
punishment room at Sing Sing prison.
The old, old story of the danger of
allowing any man to handle money, has

negro shot and killed Elias
Cummings another negro, due
mention of which was made at
the time. A coronors inquest
was held and Neil committed
to Jail. A preliminary examina-
ton should have been had at
the earliest practicable moment,
but instead of that ten days
have passed and mo examina-
ton has been held. The muir
derer is willing that the exami-
nation should be indefinitely
postponed; justice however, de-
mands an immediate examina-

matter is fresh in the minds of
the witnesses, and before they
have time to put themselves out
of the way. Who is to blame
in this case?

SUGAR.-Mr. E. Morris Smith,
who resides two and a half
miles south of Brennan, pre-
scented the BANNER with a
specimen of sugar manufacture
ed from ribbon cane. The sam
pie is rather dark colored but
is lively and of good grain; it
would class as fully prime and
is a good merchantable article.
From one acre Of cane Mr..
Smith made 400 pounds of SUI
gar and 800 gallons of molasses.
The sugar was made on an or
binary evaporation, such as is
used in the manufacture of
sorghum molasses and by a man
who had no experience what
ever in making sugar. The
sample is conclusive evidence
that sugar can be made. Rat
ing the product of Mr.. Smiths
acre of cane at s cents apound
for the 400 pounds of sugar,
and 40 cents a gallon, for the
800 gallons of molasses, we
have gross receipts of SI52,
equal at present prices, to near
ly four bales of cotton.

The sickness in this neighbornood has

= The school at DR.. Miller's will close
on the 18th inst. There will be a public
examination, but no concert.
= Either Timon has not seen or heard
much this week, or else he has remembered
but poorly; at all events he has not much of

Who'll one of the happy parents of ten
pound boy. To say that he is proud, but
feebly expresses his ''pheelinks."
The colored people of the neighbor-
borhood are trying to raise funis enough
TO build them new church, and have al
ready accumulated some funds for that pur-
pose.
A good many of my neighbors went
to the SHOW last Thursday, and except
the inconvenience and disagreeableness of

ant time.
j Mr.. Ed. Leach had the misfortune to
loose two Of his children on the I 5th inst.
They were buried on the following day, at
the graveyard near DR.. Miller's. He has
the sympathy of the entire community in
his sad bereavement
If you want to make your paper pop
ular and yourselves esteemed, try to raise
the price of cotton to 10 or II cents. If
you will do this, pledge you my word ev-
cry farmer in the neighborhood will take
your paper for year and pay for it in adj
vance.
Those of my neighbors who planted
ribbon cane, have been having it ground
and made into nice syrup. No one, as yet,
has tried to make sugar, that have heard
Of think the results have been satisfac-
tory, but will inquire into this more partic-
ularly end let you know.
= The public free schools have not been
opened in this neighborhood yet, and l am
rot advised when they will be. The trus-
tees have thought it best to delay opening
them until the cotton crop was gathered, as
many of the patrons Of the school are COM
PEELED to have their children assist them in
picking cotton.
- Last Sunday was as gloomy and dis
NAL as the most detected and melancholy
could desire. 1t was the kind of day the
old hardshell Baptist preacher prayed for
when praying for rain, asking that the good
Lord would not send soaking, washing
pun, but Just let it drizzle drazzle for few
rays. 1t drizzle-drazzled all day.
Owing to the high tax placed by the
State upon retail liquor dealers, our country
merchants cannot afford to sell it more than
half the year, SO that for six months, at
least, We are temperance men, or local OPP
tionists. This is not our temperance sea-
son, and l tell you we are trying to make
up for lost time, as any of our merchants
ean testify. A certain class Of our citizens
religiously devote Saturday evenings to
drinking, gambling and horse racing, and
they seem to enjoy it; and, saving our U.
S. bonds, this is a free country.

Monday night, shortly afte.
dark, caught in the act of OBJ
structing the railroad track alta
point about mile or a mile and
a half above town. Bill had
put up the trick and was accom-
panied by a colored detective
who was ostensibly Sin with
him" At the point mentioned
Bill had placed a couple of pie
ces of broken rail, he priced up
a rail on the track drawing one
or more spikes and was in the
act of arranging the broken
piece of rail so as to throw the
next train from the track. Dom
aid and Harry Allen, who are
in the employment of the COM
pany were hid about ten or ff-
teen feet from the scene of op-
erations and were highly inter
ested spectators. While Bill
was diligently at work they
opened fire on him, one shot
taking efecti in Bills shin, infict-
ing flesh wound; he took leg
bail and came to town. Sheriff
Hutchinson and deputy VIII
liams were both looking for
him. Mr.. Hutchinson very I'M
expectedly came up on him
and arrested the gentleman; he
was soon safely landed in the
county jail. Everything had
been previously arranged, the
job having been put up" at
Hampstead. The two Aliens
had been posted, hence their
presence here with the colored
detective and the success of
the plan which resulted in the
capture of Hill, who is suspect
ed of having placed obstruc-
tons on the track once before.
His examination will take place
to-day. His prospects for long
term in the penitentiary are ex-
ceedingly brilliant. The peni-
tertiary is very mild punishment
for one who would attempt to
wreck train and kill innocent
persons.
