ano so far this season. Putting the aver
age price at S37, this amount of gueno
will aggregate in cost The enormous sum
of S45, 1880 Besides, hardly less than 800
tons purchased by the farmers, direct
from Charleston, which would run the
sum up to SIS, ,4S0.. The February term
of the Court of Sessions cost the county
S399. 9.90...".O 1000 liens and liens

Lexington Dispatch: Ga the 1st in
slant Mr.. Samuel Oliver, about 60 years
old, who lived in Orangeburg County,
about FIVE miles below the Lexington
line, while pushing logs OH burning
heap in his field took lit and fell into
the fire. When he became conscious
again he rolled himself out of the burn
ing heap, but was so badly burned that he
died that night.
Lancaster Ledger: at a rough guess
we would judge that not less than 1900
tons of commercial fertilizers have been
bought by the farmers of Lancaster
County this year. The most OF this by
large odds came from Charleston. The
freight charges over the railroads from
Charleston to the River depot on the
Narrow Guage is said to be S6.l0 per ton.
From Charleston to Camden over the
South Carolina Railroad it is only $3.50
per ton-a difference of $3.50 OIL the ton.
Several Of our farmers are receiving their
freights via Camden. n......A negro woman,
Rita Johnson, living on the plantation
of Mr.. A. M. Kce, seven miles north of
town, assaulted a small negro girl with a
fence rail on Wednesday last, splitting
open her head and otherwise injuring
her. Rita escaped into North Carolina.
Walhalla Courier: NJ. w. Nicholson,
tried for the murder of John Barnes, was
acquitted. 1.-THE real and personal
property of the county is asserted at
81 1856, ,237. MIR. James Malone, an old
and respectable citizen, living near South
Union, in this county died on the Sd in
slant, after an illness of over twenty
years duration. Tho Greenville and
Columbia Railroad have ordered from
Wilmington, Delaware, a fine passenger
coach. They are also overhauling those
they now have, and putting them in
splendid condition to accommodate the
summer travel on their road.
Yorkvile Enquirer: On Friday last,
after hearing before Trial Justice Lewis,
Sarah Wilson alias Sarah Brooks, color
ed, was committed to Jail for trial in the

half a mile below town, causing an acci-
dent to q number of colored section

temptation. The work of soliciting sub.
scription has already commenced, and
about S400 have been secured.

ness this year has been unprecedented.

facturers believe the rush will continue.
IAN escaped convict and murderer
from Georgia named Thomas Miller, and
for whom q reward was offered by the
Governor of that State, died at his moth
er's house on DR.. Wilder's place, Hilton
Head, last Monday. Miller's mother said
that he came there last Friday and begged
her to let him come home to die; she
consented, and he died as he expected.
Marion Merchant and Farmer: About
/ 500 tons of guano and fertilizers have
been sold by the merchants and agents
of Marion to date. 1t is fair to estimate
that half this quantity has been sold by
others in the county, making the enor-
nous aggregate off 1000 tons: The season
is not over, and one-fourth this quantity
will likely be sold by the close.
Union Times: The jury in the case of
John Muse, charged with the murder of
of John Lipsey, failed to agree upon q
