occasion, and we are assured they will do all
in their power to aid in the patriotic work
Mr. J. NJ. Hambright, who lives near the his
toric ground, and who is a descendant of one Of
the heroes of that hard-fought battle, was in
town last Tuesday He says it is in contem-
plation to prepare plain but neat monument,
on which shall be inscribed the names Of all the
heroes who fell in the battle, part Of the Cen
tennial ceremonies to be the unveiling of the
monument This would be. an appropriate
and attractive feature of the occasion, and
a beftting act of justice on the part of the
posterity of those who contributed 80 nobly
and gallantly to the achievement of American
Independence It is thought that $500 would
defray the expense of the proposed monument,
which sum could easily be secured by dollar
subscriptions in the counties in North and
matter. The idea is a good one, and we hope
it will be put into execution without delay.
The STORM LAST WEEK.
The hail storm on the afternoon Of the
than #ere aware of at the time of going to
press tnsxtS morning. Its breadth, however,
covered comparatively narrow strip, and it's
fury was more violent in some localities than
others. West of town it extended as far as
Sheriff Glenn's plantation, about two miles
distant. In this direction the greatest suffer-
ers were Sheriff Glenn, j. r. Witherspoon,
G. G. Parish l. T. Parish and Ella Good.
East of town, Monroe Thomasson, and Mr.
Finley. North of town, R. R. McCorkle and
W. J. Gordon were the principal sufferers.
The storm extended aboat six miles east, its
worst effects being on the poor house farm,
three miles from town, and the plantations Of
David. L. Black and Thad. L. Carroll. DR..
Allison's farm, near town, and nearly north
east Of the Court House, was also visited by
the storm and much damage was done to his
vineyard and the growing crops of grain. In
the locality of the poor-house, the hail fell
thickest, and remained on the ground for sew
eral days. On Saturday after the storm, Mr..
Gwinn, Superintendent of the Poor House,
sent us basket Of hail stones which he gath
cred that day, and they were as firm and solid
as ice just taken from an ice-house. Mr..
Gwinn informs us that the damaged felds'on
the poor-house farm have been replanted with
cotton, and the plant is nicely coming up.

SAD SUICIDE.

We regret to learn that on Monday night
last, Mr.. VIM. J. Rainey, very worthy and
respected citizen living near Blairsville, in
this county, committed suicide by hanging
himself with a rope in his gin house. He was
discovered about half past 10 o'clock, and soon
after committing the deed, but not until life
was extinct. Mr.. Rainey was aged about IS
years, and fer the past year had been laboring
under intense suffering from a neuralgia affec-
tion, and it is supposed he committed the rash
act while under temporary alteration of mind
superinduced by his sickness Mr.. Rainey was
an Industrious enterprising citizen, merchant,
the proprietor of a steam mill to which was
attached cotton gin and other machinery,
and he ever possessed the confidence and es-
TEEN of all who knew him.

TuERoCK HILL HOMICIDE.

Our community was shocked about II O'CLOCK
on Monday last at the intelligence conveyed
by a summons to DR.. Bratton that MIC. l..
Williford had been shot, which dispatch was
quickly followed by another announcing his
death from the wound. Mr.. Wflliford spent
Friday, Saturday and sundag in this place,
and left for his. homie in Roek Hill on Monday
morning, only about four Iours before the un-
fortunate occurrenfe which terminated his
life. A brief accdupf of the affair is pub
lished in another Column, written by gen.
tleman of Rock Hin whom we know has no
disposition to misrepresent either side; and as
the case will probably be judicially investi-
gated at an early day, we refrain from making
any extended notice of the occurrence. Cas-
ton, in charge of special constable, arrived
here at O'Clock Monday afternoon and was
committed to jail He has retained as counsel
to defend him Messrs. Witherspoon & Spencer,
of this place, and J. P. Gage, ESQ.,, of Rock

South Carolina, to be Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court of Utah. The Senate commit
tee on the judiciary decided to report Cor
bins nomination adversely unless it was with
drawn. The basis of the adverse report was
the testimony taken by the South Carolina
Legislative Investigating Committee of Cor
bins notorious connection with the phosphate
beds of South Carolina. The story is an old
one. Corbin was appointed an agent of the
State to collect the revenues from the phos
phate beds. He collected about $4,000,
which he is said to have appropriated. The
famous Mackey Legislature was convened.
The State treasurer was enjoined from paying
the expenses of this Legislature. Corbin
wished to be elected United States Senator.
He was made candidate by the Carpet-bag
Ring, and with the understanding that he
was to pay the salaries of certain members of
the Legislature it was convened, and Corbin
was elected. He paid in the neighborhood Of
$4,000 to the noble legislators for their dis
tinguished services, and claimed that this
payment was settlement of his accounts
with the State as phosphate agent Corbin
did not deny the main facts of the case The
committee thought it necessary to take up
other specific charges of bribery.

Lexington correspondence of the News
and Courier says: Treasurer D. j. Hendrix,
editor of the Summit Courier, disappeared a
few days ago, leaving deficit in his accounts
with the county and State of about 81 800.
1t is thought that Mr.. Hendrix became en-
tangled in his business by being too liberal
in giving out tax receipts, often waiting tor
them to be cashed, which he found was more
difficult than he had anticipated. 1t is also
thought that he made many mistakes in re-
ceiving and paying out public money. He
left letter to his bondsmen, stating his con-
dition. Mr.. Hendrix has always been one Of
our leading, and seemingly most honest citi
zens, and his departure has created quite
sensation of surprise among his friends. He
has a small family, and is about thirty FIVE
years old. His surelies have taken the steps
to make good the amount of his defalcation.

Mr.. EDITOR: For some time our

arrival of the new druggist, Mr.. ]. A
P, Weems, of Greene county, who
proposed to sell drugs 10 our people
He opened his store on last Saturday
by taking out State and county license
for a drug store. His trade opened
out encouragingly, and all went well
for time. In the evening it was no.
ticed that the druggist began to
get exceedinglg jolly. About n'ght~
fall, the revenue officers arrested Mr..
Weems for violating the revenue
laws, and now the druggist lies in
"durance vile," and the stock of
drugs-pure whisky and brandy, la
beled 'bitters"-is now at the dis
posal of the Revenue officials.
Our people are glad that this effort
to eyade the law has been nipped in
the bud. Mr.. Weems is in bad box,
and there is but little sympathy for
him. Any man who attempts to
evade the la v may look for disaster to
overtake him sooner or later.
