THE YELLOW FEVER.

There is very little change in the tenor Of
the dispatches from Memphis. For the week
ending at o'clock, P. M, last Saturday, the
total number of deaths was 46, and to the
same date from the inception of'the disease
this season, 139.
The Howard Association have 207 nurses
attending 1876 families, 1zO of which are
whites and 76 colored. Their expenses daily
aggregate nine hundred dollars.
DR.. w. L. Coleman, of San Antonio, Tex
as, who was ordered by the National Board
of Health to investigate the origin of the fe-
yer prevailing in Memphis, has been quietly
at work for a month past. While he is not at
liberty to make public the manner in which
the germs were introduced, yet his investiga-
tions convince him that they were imported
direct from the West Indies, and that these

On Sunday, twenty-five new cases were re-

On Monday, thirteen cases were reported,
six of whom were celored, and on the same

Eleven new cases were reported on Tues

SOUTHERN CENTENNIALs.-The closing
victories of the war for American indepen-
dence were mostly won upon the soil Of the
Southern States. The Southern people seem
to be mindful of that fact, and they are ta-
king steps to give them due celebration. The
proposed Yorktown centennial was alluded
to in these columns few days ago. The oc.
casion will doubtless be a grand reunion Of
the people of the lately estranged sections, and
both Union and Confederate veterans will
gather on the historic field to render meet
honor to the Continental soldiers who there
practically closed the Revolutionary war. In
the meantime we note movement, IN which
prominent citizens of North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Georgia have united, looking to
the fit observance of the important action Of
Kings Mountain, near the southern bounda-
ry of the former State, October Z, 1880 The
victory of the Americans in that battle was
really the turning point of the war. 1t is
worth remarking that the very next success
of the patriot arms Of any Importance was
at the Cowpens not far from Kings Noun
tain, January II, 1871, where Tarleton was
badly whipped. This event ought tt, be eel.
ebrated, and doubtless will be when the tally
of hundred years is completed. Guilford,
Court House, in North Carolina, March, ID,
1871, comes next in order, followed tSeptem-
Der of the same year by the engagement at
Eutaw Springs, which preceded the fall of
Yorktown by just forty-one days. The
Northern centennial list closed with the bril-
liant actions at Stony Point and Paulu7 Hook,
in July, 1779. The bulk of the fighting af
forwards was in the South. 1t is the Soutk-
eners' turn now, and we doubt not they will
centennialize with proper spirit and enthusi-

DEATH OF wm. C. BLACK, ESQ.


We regret to learn of the death Of William
G.. Black, ESQ.,, which occurred at his resi-
dence near Blacks Station, in this county, on
Sunday morning last At the time Of his
death he was in the seventy fourth year of his
age.
Though native of Abbeville county, for
the past forty years, Col. Black was citizen
of York, and for many years of this period, or,
we may say until within the last fifteen years,
he was prominent in public affairs Of the coun-
ty, and closely identified with the political
history of his section.
He was the son of Joseph Black, ESQ.,, OF
Abbeville, who for a number of years repre-
sented that county in the State Senate. He
was graduate of South Carolina College, and
was contemporary with several graduates of
that institution, who afterwards became dis
tinguished citizens. He studied for the law at
Abbeville c. H., and was admitted to practice
in the year 1881 Soon after his admission to
the bar, he formed partnership with Hon.
Thomas Thomson, now one of the Circuit
Judges of this State. How long his associa-
ton with Judge Thomson continued, or in
what year he removed from Abbeville, we now
have no means of ascertaining but we know
that in 1S41 he was citizen of this county and
associated with his brother, S. R. Black, ESQ.,,
in the practice of law in Yorkville. He how
ever remained at the bar but short while af-
ter moving to York county. While he was a
man of eminent ability, possessed of quick and
penetrating mind, he preferred more active
life than confinement to the lawyers desk, and
though after making his permanent home in
the country-for such at that time was the To-
cality where is now situated Blacks Station
