certainly to give them a call.

er-worked set of men than the train hands

month, and you can form some faint idea
of their hard lot.

The entertainment by the South Carolina
Minstrels on Wednesday, 11th instant, in
Masonic Hall, was all that could have been
desired in that line of amusement. The
Young men all performed their parts admi-
rably, considering that it was the first ap-
pearance of many of them on the stage.
Encouraged by the large audience with
which they were favored on their first ap-
pearance before the public, they will give
other entertainments of similar character
at an early day.
The sportsmen of Columbia have organ
lied shooting club to protect the birds,
game and fishes, and to prevent their wan
ton destruction in the improper seasons oi
the year. The club will take measures to
have every violation of the fish and game
laws reported to the proper authorities, and
the offender brought to punishment. This
is move in the right direction, and one we
hope that will be followed by the sportsmen
of other towns and cities in the State. The
fish and game laws are good ones, and
should be vigorously inforced.
The most important case before the Court
at the present session, and the one that is
eliciting the most interest, is the case of the
State against the parties charged with the
burning of Maj. Anderson's store at Will
liamston, the trial of which is progressing
as we go to press. There are six parties
under indictment, all Of whom are repre-
sented by able counsel, while the Solicitor
is assisted in the prosecution by Mr.. Orr.
There are at least one hundred witnesses to
be examined, which, with the time that will
necessarily be consumed by the argument
of the counsel for and against the accused,
occupy the greater part of the remainder of
the week.
