Hanging as an Art.

The Detroit Free Press says: The
Ohio papers are all clamoring for a
new method of executing criminals, or
more expert hangmen. Two recent
taking offs" having been sadly
bungled in that State. The people have
had enough of it and the condemned
men certainly had too much of it. How
ever, it's an i'll wind that blows nobody
good. Proctor of Iowa, is glad that
every one is not an expert in this ghast-
ly line of business. A mob hung Proc
tor recently. After quietly enjoying the
spectacle they left him alone in his
glory. In order to relieve his suspense,
Proctor's family cut him down, when
they could do so without hurting any
ones feelings, and after several hours
hard work on the executed party, he
began once more to teke an interest in
Iowa matters. Doubtless if Proctor
were interviewed he would express the
utmost satisfaction at the present state
of hanging, as an art, in Iowa.

SURVIVORS OF THE SIXTH REGIMENT.

SURVIVORS OF THE SIXTH REGIMENT.
The executive committee of the Survivors
Association of the Sixth S. G. Regiment, G.
S. A., held meeting on the 18th instant and
transacted the following business, which was
ordered to be published for the information
of the members of the Association:
/. 1t was unanimously resolved to request
of Captain B. P. Alston copy of his able
and interesting address, for publication in
the Chester and Winnsboro papers.
2. The committee on statistics were request
ed to forward to Adjutant II. A. Gaillard,
the secretary of the Association, such rolls
and records of the Sixth Regiment as they
may be able to collect; these records to be
preserved by the secretary for the purposes of
the Association.
8. The next meeting of the Association
will be held at Winnsboro, S. c., on the first
Thursday in August, 1879. A committee of
arrangements for this meeting will be appoint
ed by the president of the Survivors Associ-
alton of Fairfield county.
4. The executive committee are of opinion
that the organizations of the Sixth Regiment
survivors now existing in Fairfield and Ches.
ter counties, may further the ends of the regi-
mental association, and they recommend that
similar associations be organized in other
sections of the State where members of the
Sixth Regiment reside

S. c., was chosen as the next anniversary
orator of the Association. J. L. CoKER,

TENNESSEE POLITICS.

The Tennessee Democratic Convention,
in session last week, on the twenty second
ballot, nominated Judge Albert c. Marks, Of
Franklin county, for Governor.
A Washington dispatch says that num-
Der of prominent Tennessee politicians have
been in that city for several days, and it
develops that their mission is TO consult Judge
Key in regard to an Independent party move
ment in their State. The Democrats, it is
claimed, are badly broken up over Republi,
can issues, and it is probable that an Inde.
pendent Convention will be held to nominate
opposition candidates for State ticket The
gentlemen who are in Washington say that
if the Postmaster General will accept an In
dependent nomination for Governor, the Re.
publican convention will endorse him, and his
election will be certain. Judge Key is now
holding the matter under advisement, and
the chances are very favorable that he will
give the movement his approval. He will
not seek the nomination, but if awarded him
with any great degree of unanimity, and if
the Republicans are disposed to accept him,
there is no doubt he will consent to run. The
President, it is said, encourages him to do so,
although he will regret to have him leave the
Cabinet but the President thinks with Judge
Key as leading candidate on an Independ'
ent-Democratic ticket, his Southern policy
could he subjected to very favorable test.

FLORIDA.

Mr.. Editor Knowing that some of your
readers are restless and anxious to move to
Florida, and fearing they may have been in
huenced in such desire to change comfortable
homes for life in this Gland of flowers" by
reading the exaggerated Florida letters, so
often sent for publication, only alluring their
minds and placing before them erroneous
ideas concerning the "easy cultivation and
quick returns from the semitropical fruits, !"
| wish to place before your readers few
facts which my experience guarantees, viz. ::
Don't come to Florida expecting to find en-.
ployment as laborers. (Every man here
works his own land himself and gets all the
help he needs with cheap negro labor.) Don't
come unless you have at least 81 900 to buy
and put your land in condition, and keep
you the first year. Don't expect to get a
cent from fruit under eight years; for you
buy your improved land for about S25.OO per
acre, plant your fruit grove-about forty
feet between each tree-and cultivate farm
crops right in such grove, supporting your
family by such general farming for some
years, while your fruit trees are maturing to
bear, and eventually give you competency.
A man with $1,000 or 81, 800, can do this,
and really make money easier than in the
colder climates for the expense is less, and
the healthy climate gives smaller doctor bills.
Now | do not wish to keep any one away
from Florida who really has determined to
change his home, for Florida is better than
Texas or other any other western State if you
have money enough (sl,OOO to run your own
farm or store but it is no place to seek labor
or to clerk in, both of which can generally
be found in the West.
Now l can vouch, from actual experience,
that man can come right here (Hatchet
creek) and with $1,000 and willingness to
work hard do better than any other place
yet know Of Any information additional, l
will cheerfully give any person desiring it,,
by sending stamped envelop for same

DEATH OF WILLIAM A. MOORE, ESQ.

1t becomes our painful duty to chronicle
the death of our townsman and distinguished
citizen, VIM. A. Moore, Esq, of the Lancss
ter Bar, which sad event took place at his
home on Saturday evening, 18th instant. But
few of our people knew of his illness until the
intelligence reach them that he was dead The
announcement, coming so unexpected, pro-
duced shock such as has seldom, if ever
been felt here from similar occurrence. On
Thursday he was engaged in the usual bust.
ness of his profession. Late in the evening
of that day he complained of collie, but
neither he nor the few friends to whom he
mentioned the fact, apprehended any serious
consequences. On Friday he remained at
home, but was not regarded by himself or
family as seriously i'll, nor indeed until about
II o'clock on Saturday, when his family,
contrary to his own opinion, thought it best to
call in DR.. Mackey, who found him, though
not greatly suffering, really seriously ill.
About o'clock DR.. Foster was called in and
found him worse. Soon afterwards DR.. Mack
ey again returned. They made every effort to
arrest the disease, but he sunk rapidly and
died about o'clock, P. NJ.
Mr.. Moore was born in York county
about the year 1922. He was educated at
Davidson College, and afterwards studied law
at Yorkvile in the office Of Col. Isaac D.
Witherspoon. He was admitted to the bar,
we believe, in 1S43, and Immediately settled
at Lancaster, where he remained until his
death.
Some several years after his location here,
he married Miss Ross, lady of his native
county and niece of Gen. D. H. Hill, whom,
with family of eight children, he left sur
viving him.
His prospects, when he first settled here,
were anything but Aattering. His competi-
tors we're such men as Clinton, Dawkins,
Wright and other eminent lawyers, whose
abilities we're we'll calculated to dishearten
and discourage the youthful stranger. He
received, for ten or twelve years, only the most
meagre practice; but during these tedious
years, by hard study and laborious research,
he laid deep and broad the foundation of
that high success which be afterward attained
to. He rose suddenly and took position in

A PLEASANT REUNION,

Last Tuesday was day long to be remem-
bered by many people of York county, the
occasion being reunion of the Catawba Ri
flies, of Rock Hill, and the jenkins Rifles, of
YorkvilIe, the latter company having been
invited by the former to be present at plume
drill of the Catawbas, in connection with
which a concert was also given under the aus
pices of the Rock Hill company.
According to arrangements previously
made, about o'clock, P. NJ, on Tuesday, a
detachment of the jenkins Rifles, numbering
about twenty men, departed from Yorkvlle
in carriages and buggies, and after pleasant
drive, reached the town of Rock Hill in due
time, where they were met by the Catawba
Rifles, and after the observance of the usual
military formalities, the Jenkins Rifles were
escorted by the Catawbas to Hollers Hall,
where they were welcomed by Capt. 3. T.
Alston in the following words:

hour or more was spent in social converse,

which the company repaired to the Male

Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
LETTER FROM WHITAKER.

whitaker, S. c., August 1S, 1878.
The rains of the past two or three weeks
have greatly changed the appearance Of the
growing crops and cheered the gloomy faces
of the farmers: They now expect to be lib
orally rewarded for their labor. However,
upland corn, has been cut short; but not to
serious extent Corn on bottom lands, as /
am informed bya number of farmers, will
equal the crop of last year, and in many
places will exceed it. t.
From present indications there will be the
liveliest interest taken in politics in this Sec
ton that has manifested itself since the close
of the war. A number of aspirants for leg
islative honors are already in the field. The
names of Dr.. j. G. Black and Cowles Greene
are now before the people, and there will be
a sharp contest between them when the dele.
gates are elected to the County Convention.
Some two or three of our citizens are looking
forward to the Office Of county commissioner
but it is hardly to be expected that we will
be allowed two officers from this township
Whitaker is to have depot The lum.
ber and other materials for that purpose are
being delivered, and the contract has been
awarded to w. A. Bird A depo. has long
been needed at this place. We expect, by the
time the fall trade opens, to be able to give
the farmers and the public generally all the
advantages that can be had at any similar
place on the line of the A. L. Railroad.
The Baptists have been holding series of
meetings at and near Whitaker, for the last
two or three weeks, resulting in some twenty
FIVE accessinns to the church, among them a
number Of intelligent and influential men
and women, who will be an honor to the
cause in which they have enlisted. This
morning twenty-five converts went down into
the water and followed Christ in baptism.

which an innocent Yorkvile man was captur-
ed and detained in Spartanburg last Thurs

"Lieut. John J. Smith, of the Jenkins Rifles,
was captured on his arrival in Spartanburg by
some of the old Palmetto Sharpshooters, and
held by them until late hour at night, when we
saw one Of them have him down on box. Lieut..
Smith was, however, paroed on the condition
that he would return when called for"
