The present fall has been the most pleasant
imaginable, and the farmers have gathered
their cotton as rapidly as it was ready. Last
Friday and Saturday we had keen, cold air,
and frost was seen in the morning, though
little or no damage was done. This is quite
early for frost in this locality-a warning that
winter is approaching. -. . q n
Joseph Hardin, who was ordered to appear
before the late term Of the United States Court
at Greenville, under charge of resisting u. s.
officers, was convicted and sentenced to 3
months imprisonment and q fine Of 500. He
is at present undergoing imprisonment in the
Jail at Spartanburg Mr.. Hardin was ordered
to be taken to the York county jail, but was
lodged in the jail at Spartanburg to remain
over from Saturday night until the following
Monday, and in the meantime Marshal Davis,
who had him in charge, was shot and wounded,
and thus disabled from proceeding to Yorkville
with his prisoner.
Mr. Hardin, with many others, had judgment
suspended in their cases at the August term,
1879, for Illicit distilling. Owing to the extra
charge against him for resisting the officers,
and under the instructions Of the Attorney
General to prosecute such cases, he was al
from one court to another. The three last
courts had excused him but W. II. Carroll,
his bondsman, delivered him up at the late
term, and hence his trial. The Judge and
District Attorney signifed their willingness
to sign petition for his pardon.

is put within 1886 miles of Chattanooga, one
of the greatest railroad centres on the cont:
nent. At Chattanooga the Southern Road
will connect with the Memphis Road, with
the Atlantic and Mississippi Valley at once,
and also with the Alabama and Chattanooga,
giving it line to New Orleans and Mobile,
through Meridian. The Southern Road au-
thorities expect to make the same time ex-
actly to New Orleans as that made by the
Louisville and Nashville Road. The advan-
tages of this new connection to Cincinnati
are obvious, and great as the cost of the
road has been to the city-inexpedient, per-
haps, as heavy municipal debts are when in.
Cured for such objects-the expenditure will
be recouped to the citizens themselves in an
increase of trade. Cincinnati's pork business
will be largely revived, since the South will
be able to buy its bacon and other provisions
there cheaper than at any other point.

SURVIVORS, ASSOCIATION.

We would direct attention to the communi-
cation, in another column, over the signature
Of -Confederates," proposing an organi-
zation of all the Confederate soldiers of York
county into Survivors Association. We
fully accord with the spirit of the communica-
tion, feeling assured that much good can be
accomplished by such an association, while it
would more closely bind in common fellowship
those who alike shared the dangers and the
glories of the field. As will be seen, it is sug-
gested that preliminary meeting be held in
the Court House next Monday, for consulta-
tion, and to devise plan for the proposed or
ganization. Let there be full attendance Of
ex-C Confederates on the day suggested.
