This morning, between the hours Of II and
12 o'clock, Mr. C. L. Williford was sitting in
chair, leaning back against the. store house
of j. NJ. Howe & Co., talking to Mr.. Good
man, clerk in the house. While Williford
was sitting in this position, James P. CASTOR,

Dr.. j. W. Fewell was called as soon as
possible. When the Doctor came, he saw/at

below the hip.bone, and hanged upwsfd, cut,

United States Marshal, the words at the head
of their commissions being: "Stand by your

not fall under his observation in 1878, but he
knew of one colored Democrat who was
threatened. -,

and Hampton tickets embraced the Demo-
cratic Stale nominees for Office, and the Hayes

sentative Sayler and other members OF the
subcommittee of the House Of Representa-
tives, on the 81 of January, that Hayes bad
carried the State by from 1000 to 1000
votes, and such was the belief of the witness.
Governor Hampton was elected by LOO ma
iority. He supported The Hayes and Hansp-
ton ticket and all the Democratic nominees,
and side by side with Hampton he canvasssed
the State for Hayes, but voted for Tilden,
endorsing on his ballot as reason for
doing so that bayonets were brought to the
polls to secure the election Of Hayes. The
troops did not interfere as a body with
the voters, but one of the soldiers Cursed
citizens and threatened to bayonet him: The
only reason given by the citizen was that ne
was on his way to the polls. The troops
were at the polling place for an hour. He; in
1873, saw a votsr shot down in Charleston,
and thought the shooting in that case was
iusti6able. In conclusion of his testimony,
the witness wished to say that jury Of the
State Courts, composed wholly of Repuhli-
cans, would convict the most prominent Re-

THE CROP PROSPECTS,.

Our information from all sections Of the
county is to the effect that the wheat crop is
very promising. In some portions it stands
thinly on the ground, but the heads are unusu-
ally we'll filled, and the stalk thus far has es-
capped the blight Of rust. Harvesting will be
commenced within the next ten days, and
with no damage to the crop in the meantime,
bountiful harvest will repay the farmers
The oat crop is not so promising as wheat.
In most cases reported to US the stalk is short,
for want of rain at the proper time.
Cotton is doing well, and we hear but little
complaint in regard to poor stands.
The weather has been dry for several days
past, until Monday night and Tuesday of this
week, when refreshing and much-needed show

INTIMIDATION IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

Judge T. j. Mackey testified before the

in South Carolina. He said that he was in

marshals declared their purpose to carry the
election for the Republicans, and exhibited q

Marshals, to disregard the process Of the
State Courts. At2 o'clock, the Chief Depu-
ty Marshal, at the head of q band of colored
men, assaulted voters at Carmel Hill, tearing
Hayes and Hampton tickets from their hands.
Several who refused to surrender their tickets
were knocked down. Subsequently, he saw

ing in two lines. Voters we're required to
pass to the polls under fixed bayonets. On
complaint made to witness that voters were
interfered with by the military, he issued
a warrant for the arrest of Lieut.. Hinton,
who commanded the detachment. The Sher.
iff made verbal report that Hinton stated
that he had been summoned by the Chief
Deputy Marshal to bring the troops to
the polls, that there were no breaches of the
peace except such as were committed by the
deputy marshals who had taken ballots from
voters, and further, that Hinton declared he
was informed that violence was imminent at
the polls, and that there had already been a
breach of the peace and asked to be saved the
disgrace Of arrest, promising that he would
remove his troops to the rear of the Court
House. Witness said this having been done,
he instructed the Sheriff to take no further
action.
Several of the deputy marshals were en-.
gagged in distributing tickets, and charged
colored persons having Democratic tickets
in their hands and in line with the whites,
with betraying their race. All the deputy
marshals, with one exception, were colored
men. Their instructions were signed by the

A NEW ENTERPRISE.

Our energetic citizen Mr.. W. j. Jones, who
recently purchased the Wheeler steam mill
property, on the railroad, two miles south OF
town, has added a foundry to the capacities of
the establishment. On Saturday last he made
the second blast since the erection of his fur
mace, and the result was highly satisfactory.
On this occasion number of car wheels, spur
wheels for machinery, andirons, and great
variety of lighter castings were successfully
made, and taken from the matrices as smooth
ly and perfectly moulded as castings of the
same character can be produced anywhere.
This is an enterprise which has long been
needed in York county, and it is with pleas
ure that we note it's Inauguration. Mr.. Jones
is a thoroughly practical machinist, having
served regular apprenticeship in the shops OF
the G.. C. & A. Railroad at Columbia, and
fully understands the business he has under
taken. We hope he will meet with the en-
couragement and success to which his enter
prise and energy 50 justly entitle him.
