LETTER FROM ABBEyILLE COUNTY.
GREENWOOD, S. c., July s, 1S1

GREENWOOD, S. c., July s, 1878.
An act of unusual cruelty has recently
come to light in what is known as the "Prom-
ised Land" negro settlement seven miles
south of this place. Wade Herne, (colored)
killed his eight,yearold child by beating it
for some trivial offence. He then concealed
the body, and several days elapsed before it
was discovered-he having threatened other
members of his family with death if they re-
veaed his diabolical deed. The brutal father
has been arrested aud committed for trial.
A meeting of the Smithville Democratic
Club was held at Ervin's Mills on the 29th
ultimo. After President Collins announced
that the Club was ready to transact business,
a lively discussion ensued in regard to the
administration of Governor Hampton, which
resulted in unanimously adopting resolutions
endorsing his administration.
Abbeville county, once hopelessly Republi-
can, is now redeemed, and the Democracy
will make a Jealous fight in the coming CAM
paign, by putting in the field such men as
Gen. MCGOWAN, Hemphill and Cothrau.
The Greenwood and Augusta Railroad is
progressing rapidly. One half Of the road
bed is graded from Greenwood to the Savan.

.blestime was consumed in reaching this result.
In the interval fair ladies and their gallant
beaux repaired to the attractive grounds to
participate in the enjoyment of ice cream and
lemonade, of which there was an abundance,
dispensed, too, by fair hands. In the enjoy
ment of such pleasures as most delight the
hearts of young people, did the evening pass
pleasantly away. Our Yorkville and Rock
Hill friends, who we're present in strong force,
it is to be hoped, enjoyed the festival, and do
not entertain dissimilar opinion from myself
in regard to its complete success.
The visiting companies were entertained on
Wednesday night at the Chester and Cotton
Hotels. The Jenkins Rifles took their de-
parture for home. at an early hour on Thurs.
day morning The Catawba Rifles left US the
same day, on the regular passenger train.
The hope is fondly entertained that our mill
tary friends carried away with them pleasant
impressions of Chester, and their brief stay
in our midst.
The Fourth of July passed off without cele-
bration in our town. We were happily spared
the inhiction of listening to any spread-eagle
speeches. Business was not suspended, aud
trade kept on in the even tenor its dull way.
The colored element crowded our streets, and
were blessed with considerable quantity of
the GLORIOUS Fourth" in their bones, if sing
ing and dancing were evidences of this fact.
The colored man was in condition of con-
tentment and happiness. if he was living un-
der Democratic rule. The heart of the ne
grophilite would have thrilled with ecstatic
pleasure, had his eyes rested upon the negro
in the enjoyment of breakdown" dance
amid the intense heat of burning sun. The
day passed off satisfactorily to the town au-
thorities. wilhstanding the drinking sa-
looms we're in "full blast" there was no dis
turbance of any consequence, and no arrests
were made.
The Reliance Hook and Ladder Company
(colored) made an excursion to Charlotte.
They left on Wednesday and returned on Fri.
day.
I stated, in my last correspondence, that
the candidates for the Legislature from this
county had been requested to acquaint the
people with their views in reference to levy
ing special tax for the retirement of county
bonds issued in aid of the Chester and Lenoir
Railroad. I should have said, and certainly
intended to say, Chester and Cheraw Railroad,
as bonds issued in favor of the Chester and
Leuoir road have been in process of retire
ment for several years, in accordance with
the provisions of bill enacted by the Legis-
lature. ....
I have been shown an Irish potato, by Mr..
R. M. Cross, that weighed over two pounds.
As far as my information extends, this caps
the climax in the potato line. .....
In portion of this county, the crops have
been greatly damaged by an excess of rain:
One of the sufferers tells me he has not had
such an inferior crop for many years, both Of
cotton and corn To use his own language,
he is drowned out" 1t is we'll that the
damage inflicted by an excessive quantity of
rain is limited ia its operations. For the
most part, the agricultural outlook is exceed
ingly bright. QuI.

Good Digestion.

The human stomach and liver are fruitful sources
of lifes comforts or, disordered and diseased,
they tingle misery along every nerve and through
every artery. The man or woman with good d.
gestiom see beauty as they walk, and overcome
obstacles they meet in the routine of life, where
the dyspeptic sees only gloom and stumbles and
growls at even imaginary objects. The world
needs two or three new kinds of medicine before
death can be perfectly abolished; but that many
lives have been prolonged, and many sufferers
from Liver disease, Dyspepsia, and Headache
have been cured by MERRILL's HEPATINE, is no
longer a doubt. It cures Headache in twenty
minutes, and there is no question but what it is
the most wonderful discovery yet made in medi-
cal science. Those afflicted with Biliousness and
Liver Complaint should use MERRELL's HEPA-
TINE. 1t can be had at JOHN G. KUYKEN-

THE KINGS MOUNTAIN MILITARY SCHOOL, AT
vNpRvTII

THE KINGS MOUNTAIN MILITARY SCHOOL, AT
YoRKvILLE, 8. c.
Editor Columbia Register: The twenty
third scholastic year Of this far-famed institute,
ended on Friday, June 81, 1878. 1t was
founded in January, 1856, by two young
graduates of the Citadel, who, by their per-
severance and untring energy, raised it to
the highest standard of excellence. These
young men, viz, General Micah Jenkins and
Colonel Asbury Coward, were distinguished
in the late war as gallant officers, true patriots
and noble gentlemen, the former of whom
shed his life blood in the cause of his country
the latter who was none the less brave, still
continues, by his instructions, discipline
and noble example, in perfecting our youth,
both mentally and physically, in such duties
that they may be able to tread the ragged
path of life and be an honor to their State and
blessing to their parents This School is
situated in most healthful and pleasant
locality, iu the fourishing town of Yorkville,
seventeen miles from the famous battlefield of
Kings Mountain. The hospitality of the citi-
zens of the above. mentioned town is unboun-
ded, and the beauty, wit and sparkling vivac-
ity of its young ladies is unsurpassed. 1t en-.
ioys all the facilities afforded by railroad,
telegraph, churches and good society. The
climate is moderate in winter, and the breeze
from the mountains dispels the oppressive heat
of summer, and renders the air pure and bra
cling. The table, under the supervision of the
estimable wife of the principal, is extremely
good, ard the rates have been lowered to
suit the hard times. Colonel Coward is ably
assisted in his duties by efficient teachers,
among whom may be mentioned Professor
Wm. Currell, gentleman of the old type, a
distinguished graduate of the South Carolina
College in its better days, and who is honored
and beloved by all his pupils. Any persons
desiring further information regarding the
uniform, discipline, daily routine of duties,
and standard of study may obtain such by

and boys wishing to secure thoroug b militia
