were killed. Upon examination it was
found that one had slight, half-healed
cash on its side, apparently made by a
tusk, and the supposition is that it was
bitten by one of the hogs that first went
mad. This is but one of many cases of
hydrophobia among animals reported in
this county. Whether it is genuine hy-
drophobia or some other strange disease
is not known. None of the persons who
have been bitten by dogs supposed to be
made have experienced any unpleasant
result.
Kershaw Ga-eite: Some of the far
mers in the county are complaining of
rust in their cotton..... The county board
of equalization have raised the value of
the taxable property in the county $751;
S37.
Malboro' Planter: Perry Broomfeld, q
colored boy, was killed by lightning last
week, on the plantation of Mr.. X. Pc
CUES, in Marlboro County, few miles
from Cheraw......Mr. James Graham,
the father of Judge Graham, died last
week.
Orangeburg Democrat: Rust has made
its appearance pretty generally through
out the Fork and other sections of our
county. Leaves are shedding, bolls
dropping off and the cotton, in some
places, will soon be bare.
Orangeburg Times. A hail storm with
wind passed through the lower part of St.
Matthews near the Charleston line, last
Saturday, doing considerable damage to
the crops and fences in its track. We
heard one man say that he would take a
bale of cotton for his crop after its des-
tructivc work. k......A cutting affray took
place last week at a colorcd church near
Corbets, in the Fork, in which g colored
Democrat was seriously cut. Having
voted the Democratic ticket he encoun-
tered the ire of his associates, and was,
in this case, pressed upon by two ruflians
of his color. He retreated over fence
to get out of their way, but was dragged
back and cut. The deacons of the
church (be it said to their credit) tried to
arrest the demons, but they drew their
knives and defied the whole party. We
hear of nothing being done with them.
Pickens Sentinel. Maj. J. j. Lewis,
clerk of the court for this county, has
furnished US the following information
concerning liens: Value of liens given
for advances, $15, ,146 value of liens Civ
en- for fertilizers, $l1, ,113; total, S26, ,259.
This does not include the value of mort
cages of real estate and personal proper
ty, and titles to real estate given to Sc
cure advances. There are hundreds of
liens given that are never recorded, and
many farmers take none.
Abbeville Medium: Gen. Kennedy
and Judge Wallace have been spoken of
as possible candidates for the Governor
ship. 1t is also said that Hon. J. G.
Sheppard will aspire to Congressional
-honors.. The opponents of the Savan-
nah Valley Railroad tax talk of taking
the matter into the courts and having a
new election ordered. Their protest was
refused by the County Commissioners,
and now they will resort to the courts,
which may probably reverse the decision
of the Board and give the people another
chance to vote upon the matter. The
opponents claim that there was great un-
fairness in the late election-that the tax
was voted by those who do not pay any
taxes, and that there were radical defects
in the conduct of the election which
should make it Of no effect. t......A promi-
nent Radical politician of this county
says that they ''intend to carry the next
election by violence" Those of our
people who claim that there is no danger
should make q note of this. Violence
and fraud are the only cards the Radi-
Gals can play, and they understand their
use.
Walhalla Courier The alarm of fire
was sounded on Sunday afternoon, du-
ring the lecture of DR.. Jones in the
Methodist Church. The ten-pin alley Of
Mr.. D. Biemann was found to be on fire.
This building and a barn and COW stables,
together with some other small buildings
on the opposite side of the street, were
consumed. The loss is considerable.
Matches and small boy were the cause
of the ire.
Yorkville Mc,cs: The Kings Noun
tain Military School opened last week
with a fair attendance of young men
from various parts of the State.
