Abbeville Press and Banner: A lodge
of knights of Honor was organized at
Due West last week, DR.. M. A. Thomp-
son was installed as P. O......For several
weeks there was lull in the cotton mar
ket at the Court House, but during the
past eight days tho business has looked
brisker. Cotton wagons have been nu-
merous and we'll laden. One farmer sold
thirty-one bales last week, another twen-
ty-four, and several others from fifteen to
twenty each. They had held their crop
vainly hoping for rise in the price, but
as the prospect did not brighten they
brought the cotton to market and sold at
8 to ST.
Abbeville Medium Seven wagon loads
of guano were hauled out of town yes
terday morning by the indignant Gran
gers. who loaded up at night and got
away from town before the people were
stirring next morning......A meeting OF
the Coored Agricultural Society will be
held at the school house in this place on
March 18th to make arrangements to
discharge the mortgage hanging over the
concern. A full meeting is desired-the
life of the organization is at stake. The
affairs of the society are not in any very
encouraging condition, and in addition
to the mortgage debt the grounds and
buildings of the concern are dreadfully
dilapidated.. .....Several prosecutions un-
der the new stock law are now pending
before Trial Justice Calhoun and will be
tried this week. The law is already in
operation all over the county, and every
body is gradually growing to it. We
hear no more talk of indignation meet
ings and forcible resistance of the law.
The law is mighty and will prevail......
Eight or ten carloads of guano have been
brought to Abbeville this season, and
are stored away for sale to the planters of
the county. The guano house and the
depot platform are redolent with the
lively odor of the stuff, and now and
then the agents sell ton or two, al
though the demand SO far has been very
far short of the supply. There are just
now some slight indications of increased
activity in this line of business.
Darlington Neps: A negro child was
burned to death at Wild's Quarter last
Monday. The lien business is raging

tered ,476......Sherif Cole has captured
Ben James and Robert Mccall, two of
the prisoners who escaped from Jail re-
Gently. 1t has leaked out, as predicted,
that the tools with which the prisoners
recently made their escape were passed
into them through the window from the
street. A blanket was torn up and
strings made by some of the prisoners in
the passage, with which tools we're drawn
up. Mary King, it is said, was instru-
mental in getting up the necessary tools
and ehecting the arrangements for the
escape.
Newberry Herald: Mamie Sigh, a
colored woman living at Col. Cannon's,
near Jalapa, was bitten two years ago by
dog which soon afterwards became
mad. The wound healed, and the wo-
man suffered no i'll effects from it till
Monday, the 18th, when she was seized
with violent spasms. DR.. ]. W. Folk
was sent for and pronounced it genuine
case of hydrophobia. She was kept un-
der the influence of chloroform for
twenty-four hours, during which time
the commissions ceased, and she began to
get better.

war is now over and our farmers are buy
ing fertilizers in as large quantities as
ever.

25th inst, Saul Boozer met his death in
sad manner. He vas cleaning out 8
we'll on the premises of Mr.. Burr Har-
mon, who lives about twelve miles from
here, on the Wise Ferry road. Boozer
was in the well, other parties drawing up
large tub filled with rock taken from
the we'll. The tub was rested upon q
plank across the mouth of the we'll,
which plank broke, the whole weight of
the tub and its contents falling on Boo
zer, breaking his neck and crushing his
head in fearful manner. Boozer was a
Democrat, never having voted the Re-
publican ticket in his life.
