tioning a new hand against the danger OF
cleaning out the gin while':a motion, and
raising the breast Of the gin instructed him
not to permit his arm in a certain position
to come too near the saws, he at the time
assuming the position, when his arm was
caught by the saws and terribly lacerated.
He died the next morning. The funeral
services were performed on Friday By Rev.
J. s. Murray, ana his remains deposited in
the family burial ground. He leaves wife
and two children. with large circle of rel
atives and friends, to mourn their loss. Mr.
Earle was young gentleman of industry,
energy and promise, and had entered life
with every promise of future snccess and
usefulness. The family have the sympathy
of the entire community in their sudden
and sad bereavement.
We regret to announce the death of little
Charlie F. Stringer, son of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
J. stringer, of Belton, which occurred on
Tuesday the oath of September, from re-
lapse of diphtheria. The little boy, though
only eighteen months old, was bright and
interesting child, whose untinely death has
caused SORROW among many outside of the
stricken parents. Death, however, claimed
his young spirit as thing too pure and
bright for earth, and neither the tender
years of childhood nor the devotion of fond
parents was able 10 retain the loved one
here. In their sorrow, however, there is
left to those who loved him the hope which
consoled David Of old, that though the child
may not return to them, they can 60 to him
in world where sorrow and parting will
never again give grief and pain.
We understand that Col. Dodamead has
notified the employees of the Grsenville
and Columbia Railroad that he will be able
in the course of a few months to pay them
up in full for past services. This is certain
ly good news for the employees Of this road,'
who have been compelled more than once
to wait for several months for their pay,
and thereby put to great deal of in
convenience This is another good result
of having Receiver in charge of the South
Carolina Railroad. If Col. Dodamead is
allowed to control the Greanville and Co
lumbia Road we have no doubt it will be
properly managed, and that such condi
ton of affairs will not occur soon again.
On last Saturday John Flemming, col
ored, and another colored man, whose name
we did not learn, committed an outrageous
and defiant robbery by snatghing five dol
lar bill from Cato sadler, colored, in the
town of Anderson, while pretending to sell
him pistol. Cato had sold his cotton to
Messrs. Cunningham & Co., and after he
was paid off these rascals attempted to get
his money and run. Flemming was after
wards seen by the old man and identified,
although he had changed his clothes. He
was arrested, and part of the money found.
The other robber escaped. He should also
be captured, if possible, and both deserve
the severest punishment.
Messrs. McCutly 8, Taylor have word or
two to say to the readers of The INrELL1eEN-
GER this week. which we hope will receive
careful consideration. They are one of our
most reliable and enterprising firms, and
do everything in their power to give salts
faction to those who patronize them. They
have on hand'a large and complete stock Of
dry goods, groceries, boots, 'hoes, clothing,
ETC., which they propose selling cheap for
the cash. The are agents for an excellent
gin, the Georgia Grange Fertilizer, and a
thoroughly reliable fire insurance company.

The general character of the firm is sufi-
cient guarantee that they will do what is
right by those who trade with them. They

Another of our aged and respected citi-
zens has been removed from US by the hand
of death. Mr.. Luke Haynie died on last
Tuesday morning in the s7th year of his
age. He was born in the County, and in
the neighborhood of his nativity spent a
long and respected life. A large family
connection mourn the loss of this patriarch
of the home circle, and in their grief have
the sympathies of the community in which
the deceased lived for so many years.
Mr.. VIM. Wilson took an ounce of lauda-
mum on last Friday evening, and as soon as
its effects were discovered, asveral physicians
were summoned to his relief but all of
their skill was unable to revive him, and
on Saturday morning he died. 1t is thought
that he was out of his right mind at the
time he took the fatal dose. His family
have the sympathy of the entire communi-
ty in this bereavement, which is sad one,
and is greatly regretted.
