The Edgeflcld Murder.

Our correspondent at Trenton, Edge
field County, gives some additional par
ticulars of the murder Of Joe MCGOWAN,
at Johnson's, on last Thursday night. 1t
appears that Judge Mobley, white, had
been trying to provoke difficulty with
Joe McGowan, a colored man, during the
whole afternoon. The negro avoided
him, and said nothing that Mobley
could take rs an insult About half'past
8 o'clock, however, while MCGOWAN was
quietly sitting in a store, MobIey wa walked
up and stabbed him so severely that he
died in few minutes. Liquor was the
cause of the horrible affair The town
was greatly incensed at the murder and, F.,
during the confusion, Mobley made bis
escape. The coroner's jury found q YER
dict of wilfull murder, and every effort
will be made to secure the capture of
Mobley.-Ncws and Courier.

THERE Is ONE THING SURE.

There is at least one thing that the
Radicals of this Union can rest assured
of, and that is,
The seven electoral votes of South
Carolina will be cast for Hancock.
They may send
us. Grant,
Roscoe Conkling,
Jim Blaine,
John Sherman, and all of the other
Stalwarts,
Fireatcrs, and
Southern haters in Yankeedom into
South Carolina, and
They may lie,
Flirt the bioodyshirt,
Arouse the bad blood of the niger,
Dcnounce us us
Cut.throats,
AS enemies to the Union,
AS desiring to reinstate slavery and
AS endeayoring to get up another re-
bellion,
But it will do no good.
South Carolina is now
A Democratic State, and
A Democratic State it proposes to re-.
main
AS long as the party remains true to
its principles.
We have had enough of Radicalism
in this State, and
Have seen enough Of it in the Union,
And the seven electoral votes of South
Carolina
Will be cast against Il longer lease of
power to
The high-handcd thieves and plunder-
ers who compose it, and who are willing
to destroy the Union and establish on its
ruins q despotism.
Enough said. We have expressed our
mind, and in expressing it, we have ex-
pressed that of least
One hundred and twenty thousand
voters m this State, and this
The Radicals Of the Union may count
on.

A Card from Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken

CoKEsBURY, S. c., August 21, 1880.
TO the Editor Of the Register:
DEAR SIR-Absence from home for the
past few days has prevented an earlier
reply to Colonel Wallace's card, which l
first saw in the Abbevillc Press and Ban
1,er.
To his political inquiries I will not re-.
ply, as have abundant reason to believe
my Congressional career has met the ap.
proval Of a majority of the voters of the
Third District.
can only repel his intimation that I
received a salary of 81 500 from the State
Agricultural Society, upon certain condi-
tions, as being destitute of semblance
of truth, and if any man asserts that I
"divided the profits with the venders of
silverware from whom purchased the
premiums for the fairs" he utters a con-
temptible falsehood, to brand it mildly.
During my entire service as Secretary
and Treasurer Of the State Agricultural
and Mechanical Society, Colonel WAL
lace was one of its executive officers. If
then, he suspected me of rascality and
connived at it for l have never heard of
these intimations before) how much less
guilty was be than he supposed me to
be? IT. however, he has recently lent a
willing ear to some vile slanderer, ] am
compelled to say his informant lies. I
am admonished "these are strong words
which Congressman should use with
care" Perhaps they arc not euphoni-
Gus to ears polite, but they are expressive
and applicable to him who assails my
character. have not yet learned why
Congressman should be more meekly
submissive to abuse than other men.
Very respectfully,
D. WYATT AIKEN.
Col. Wallace has written card in re-
ply to the above, but owing to its length
we cannot reproduce it in this issue. It
is quite 8 severe paper, and contains
many hard things against the character
of Col. Aiken, which he will no doubt
fully answer in due time.

tied to the credit of having established
the Anderson National Bank, for when
the charter was about to fail for lack of
the necessary stock, although he had
already subscribed literally, he took up
the remaining stock, by means of which
this most prosperous and useful institu-
ton was established.
Such were some of the works, and the
success which attended them, in the life
of him who has gone to his last repose,
after an active, useful and brilliant So
journ of six-nine years in our midst.
These public struggles were not the only
virtues which he has left to be admired,
for those who knew him best bear COM
mon witness to the generosity and kind
ness of his heart, which was capable of
the most ardent friendship and most ten
der sympathy. Judge Reed was an
unusually impulsive man, and as con.
sequence always showed the faults which
be may have possessed, common to hu-
manity, in the plain est possible manner.
He was free, out.spoken and candid,
without particle of concealment or de-
ception in his nature, and never hesitated
when he found a mistake to correct it.
These qualities attached his friends to
him in the strongest possible manner. In
his domestic relations Judge Reed was a
most ardent and devoted man, and was
never so happy as when surrounded by
his children and grandchildren, who he
had with him as often as possible.
His remains were placed to rest in the
Baptist Church yard, after appropriate
funeral services, conducted by Rev. T. B.
Bell, assisted by Rev. J. S. Murray. A
very large concoursc of ladies and gen.
tlemen assembled to pay their last trib-
ute to the departed, who was regarded
by all as one of the benefactors of the
town, whose death was regarded as loss
both to the community and State, SO that
genuine feeling of sorrow and regret
was mingled with the bereavement of
the relatives and friends. The remains
rest in their most appropriate place-the
cemetery of the church of which he was
member, and for whose prosperity and
welfare he had expended so much of his
means, and contributed so much of his
zeal and personal care. Though dead
his memory will live after him.

Ing reference to the transaction Mt Du-
Bose's Bridge, on the 9Th of July last, or
as to anything prior 10, or subsequent to
that day, leading to, or growing out of
that event, it will only be because we as
his counsel, have insisted on his absolute
silence till the two cases pending against
him are put on trial in open Court"

tied in Anderson to his death the town
never had more Jealous aud indefati-
gable laborer for its welfare.
As an evidence of the high esteem in
which he was held by his feIlow-citizcns
Of the town, we print the following pre-
amble and resolutions passed by public
meeting in the Court House on last Sat
urday morning, just before the interment
of his remains
Whereas, the citizens OF our town are
deeply grieved by the death of our fellow
we have known him intimately in private
end public life. and are deeply sensible Of the
loss the County and State have sustained
| in his death; and whereas we are desrous
of giving some expression to the sorrow

his demise, therefore, be it
Rcsolrcd, That in the death of Hon. j. P.
Reed we have lost most valued md es-
teemed citizen.
Resolred, That we tender our heartfelt
sympathies to his family in their sore be-
reaynment.
Resolred, That in respect to his memory
the places of business be closed, that all
! may attend his funeral.
1t was, perhaps, more largely due to
his influence than any other one mans
that the Greenville and Columbia Rail
road was built and brought to Anderson,
and he was for many years one Of its
most prominent Directors. He was a
very liberal and public spirited citizen,
and contributed largely of his means to
every public enterprise. AS a member
Of the Baptist Church hew the moving
spirit in the erection of the handsome
house of worship which that denomina-
tion now owns iu Anderson, and he was
likewise prominent in the establishment
of the Johnson Female University,
which. occupied such high position
among the institutions Of learning in the
State before the war, and was FROM the
beginning one of its trustees. When the
war was over and this institution had
gone down in the general crash, he again
manifested his interest il the cause OF
education by leading in the establish

tute, and adopted the idea OF the CO.

to his death. Judge Reed also is enti-
