Editor Oro"gcdmy Times:
Not having had the honor of re-.
ceiving the "Champion Tin Star" on
the 9TH of July picnic for target
shooting, as err"ncously stated in
your last week s issue, nor the Doll
Baby as prize for drilling, YOU
will allow me to correct the error
through the columns fyrur paper
by stating that did not take part in
the prize drill 1T all. And for the
target shooting, the Committee very
generously but coycctvoly conferred
upon me the honor Of receiving the
Dear Baby" Of the Fourth, on which
several others Of the "Edisto's" had n
more just claim.
Trusting that the Committee on
targets, on the Fourth of July next,
will be J"s', before they are generous.
Remain,
Respectfully, Yours,

On Friday Mr. Michael IIancy, q
fireman on the Railroad was over
powered by the sun at our depot. He
was laid i'll the coolest place that
could be found, and DR.. Hydrick wh 0
was passing stopped and gave h i'm
medical attention. He proved how
ever to be beyond recovery, and died
about five o'clock, and his body was
sent to his family i'll Charleston.
He received every attention that
could be bestowed by Dr. Hylri.!,,
Mayor NJ Moseley and the Agent and
bis Assistant. Dr. HyLlick was in

Refreshing ShOwers-lI Crop Pros
poets.

During last week the weather was
fearfully hot and the crops parchcd.
On Srl. day the 18th inst, we had
most refreshing shower. The clouds
commenced to gather little before
mon, ut first small and scattering, bu.
finally they gathered thick, and shed
the cool rain upon our burning crops
We hear that n hail cloud about
onc-hall mile i'll width passed short
distance South West of This place
it did some damage, We learn, cspc-
ciully to the corn crop, i'll tho vicn
ty Of Henry Smoak's old place. We
thought at the time that the rain
were general but have since learned
that they were not. On Mr. Jno.
Wannamakc cr's plantation one or on G
and Il half miles from here the show
er was light and the crops are sti
needing rain.
Since Sunday we have seen some Of
the crops near our town. In our
Judgment tho corn crop is seriously
injured and perhaps not more than
half crop will be realized. Of course
the cotton suffered much, AMI on
somo plantations seriously, but from
the fact that most OF the weed is
small. We are in hopes that the
rain will revive it and IL pretty fair
crop will be made.

But the fact is the reverse. Per.
sonally, therefore, while | am CRATE
ful to you for your advocacy, | do
not wish to Ic.entcr the United

private reasons, which, conjoiIltly,

You are authorized to annornce
that my name will not be; with my

From youth to age it HAS teen

know nothing of political economy,

child ought to understand that il
every alternate section is giycn to

The road, that the other sections
will be enhanced in value vastly
more than the cost of that portion
gwen away, and, in addition to
this, there will necessarily spring
up towns every few miles along tho
length of the road, attended BIZ an
influx OF capital and in increase in
taxable values that will be out of
all proportion 70 the present value
of the lands which the last legisla.
ture proposed to sell to such com.
pany at a nominal price. We hope,
therefore, that the legislature of
1850, will not only gise the convict
labor, exactiug nothing but their
maintenance, bnt will also gite or
sell, at nominal price, a part, at
least, OF the State lands lying along
the route of the road. We aoant
this road built; we care not by
whom. We have said and feel now,
that one OF the proudest days of
our life will be that upon which We
may be allowed to toke the first
train that leaves Ripley and drives
steaming into the southern termi-
nus on the Mississippi coast and
clasp hands with our brethren of
the seasliore, and hare a jubilee
over the completion of the first
grand work of State importance
that the Mississippi legislature ever
bad the craftsmanship and courage
to adopt as its own. How soou
that happy day shall come depends
upon the action of the next legisla-
ture. Will they be equal to the
responsibilities imposed upon themf
We believe they will. We Shall

A Sad Case.

A very sad case has just come to
light in connection with the as
suit by a mob upon Charles De
Young Immediately after he shot
Mr.. Kalloch. A young woman
named Mrs. Litchfeld was getting
ottt of a horse car at the time near
the scene of the shooting, when the
excited crowd rushed by and
knocked her down, and more than
fifty persons stepped and trampled
upon her. She was very badly
bruised and mangled, and her death
is considered certain. She is a
grand niece of the late Commodore
Vanderbilt, has beer married but a
short time, and was expecting to
sail for Europe soon for a pleasure
trip with her husband, who is one
of San Frahcisco's vealthiest men.

sCHuRz,s INDIAN POLICY

The most interesting part OF Secreta-
nv SCHURz's report is that which relates
TO the management OF the Red Man.
And while many Of his notions are
novel, we are not right certain but that
they would prove eiiicacious in solving
the much-vcxed problem.
The policy recommcndedmay be sum-
married rs follows: "First, to set the
Indians to work as agriculturalists or
hcrders, thus to break up their habits
of savage life and to make them self
supporting; second, to educate their
youth Of both sexes, so as to introduce
to the growing generation civilized ideas
wants and aspirations; third, to allot
parcels Of land to Indians in severalty,
and to give them individual title to
their farms in fee inalicnable for GER
tain period, thus to foster the pride OF
individual ownership OF property, in
stead Of their former dependence
upon the tribe with ITS territory held in
common; fourth, when settlement in
seyeralty with individual title is accom-
plished, to dispose, with their consent,
of those lands on their reservations
which are not settled and used by them,
the proceeds to form fund for their
benefit, which will gradually relieve the
Government of the expenses at present
provided for by annual appropriations;
fifth, when this is accomplished, to treat
the Indians like other inhabitants Of
the United States under the laws OF the
land.
On the subject OF the sale of arms and
ammunition to the Indians, Mr.. SCHUEz,
after reviewing the existing law applica-
BILE 10 it, SAYS: ct is evident that this
prohibition, in which the sale OF arms is
not mentioned at all, is confined to the
sale of fixed ammunition only during
the continuance of hostilities in certain
districts, and that it leaves the sale OF
arms and ammunition in any quantity
TO Indians outside of the reservations,
where the Indian service has no author
itv in ordinary times, entirely free. II
this trade is to be stopped, more strin.
gent and sweeping statute is absolutely
required"
