ed on Tuesday night, after a harmoni-

serves to be noticed that an unusually
large amount Of important business
was transacted, and yet two sermons
were preached every day, all attended
by deeply interested and profited
congregations, In addition to the usual
half.hour Of devotional exercises, with
which each days sessions began. 1t
Is fervently hoped tha, this important
and to all parties delightful meeting
may be eminently productive of good.

ance.
General Gary was born in Cokcs.
bury, Abbcville county, and was q
otudcnt Of the South Carolina College
Embracing the practice Of law he
moved to Edgeficld, and made it his
home until the time Of his death. AT
the beginning Of tho war he entered
the Hampton Legion as captain, and
thence rose to the rank of brigadier
general. He fought to the end, and
when Lee surrendered at Appomattox
General Gary turned his command
over to subordinate and left the
army without surrendering. It was
on tho sixteenth anniversary Of this
day that General Gary died. After
the war General Gary resumed the
practice eflaw, as partner with Scna-
tor Butler, and this copartnership con-
tinued fora number ofycars. In 1876
ho entered politics actively as candi-
date for State Senator from Edge
field, and carried that old county by
such a rousing majority as to win
universal plaudits. Flo was candi-
date for United States Senator, but
General Butler bore off the prize.
For four years General Gary was a
prominent member of the Senate. In
1880 he was run for Governor but did
not receive the nomination, and since
that time he has not been In active
politics.
General Gary was successful as a
man Of business, and learned as a
lawyer. He was a laborious student
on every subject which he undertook
to handle, and hia library was choice
and select.
1t Is impossible for anyone, with 80
marked an individuality, to avoid Civ.
ing and taking hard blows in n long
public career, but as his death sent u
shock through the State, 80 will It be
the signal for truce; and all can bend
over Ills grave and pay tribute to hie
memory. May he rest IN peace.

Shooting ARRAY.

Caldwell, Dec. 17.-One Of those ter
ribc border shooting affairs occurred in
this city this afternoon resulting In the
death of Nike Mergher, formerly mayor
of this city, and Geo. Spcer, a gambler:
This morning they began to show dis
position to raise row, and as preli-
miIlary move Speer shot off his revolver
into the sidewalk. Through the efforts
Of the police the disturbance was sup
pressed temporarily, and rs a precau-
ton additional police were put in,
among them Mike Meigher. About l
O'Clock the above named party turned
loose and began to shoot indiscriminate-
iy. Talbot shot Mergher from the rear
of the bank building, killing him in
stantly. The citizens turned out at once
with such guns as they could get hold
of, and attempted to take in the party,
who, in the meantime had proceeded to
a livery stable and compelled the man
in attendance to give them horses,
mounted and started off. Speer attempt
ed to saddle horse near the Red Light
dance, and while doing SO was shot by
some Of The citizens. The others struck
off in the direction Of Hunnewell, and
about two miles cast struck south for
the territory. A party of citizens fol.
low ed and at last accounts were in sight
of the four fleeing COW boys 1t is like
y they will be taken and brought back
alive.
Wellington, Has, Dec. l7.--John Tai
bot, who shot Mergher in the fight with
COW boys, was one Of the leaders of the
element that wanted to hang Danford,
without giving him an opportunity to
settle, and was one of the leaders Of the
party who took Danford from the sheriff
at this point. Dave Speer belonged to
the Speer family, Of Caldwell, who are
engaged in the liquor and dance house
business. Dave was arrested during the
last year, charged with shooting and
killing Frank Hunt, marshal IF Calda
well, through the window Of a dance
house. but was discharged for lack Of
evidence and was hardly 90 years old:
The latest accounts are the COW boys
are surrounded in the timber some
twelve miles south Of Caldwell.

TIining Sharps.

The Omaha Bee Of the llth comes out
in the following sensible article on min
ing as a legitimate business:
There Is Il .ull in The mining fever
east just at present, and some OF the
newspapers are readin2 their subscribers
lectures upon the " Nickcdncss Of western
mine operators, and the sWindling
methods bv which worthless properties
are foisted upon innocent and ignorant
purchasers. Western ;nining operators
are certainly, TO say the least, no more
wicked than eastern operators in vari~
ous speculative enterprises. Every
mine, ui;il is value is assured by ID
steady production of the precious metals
IN paving quantities * IL business specu-
!a,ion II must be considered as such
by Tie purchaser, and ought to be enter
ed upon With just the same and no more
prccaution than would be used in in
vcsiing in Il speculative enterprise in
the east There are certainly no reasons
why mining may not be carried on just
rs honorably ard just az fairly as any
other enterprise operated by stock
company The history OF this industry
in the west furnishes number of
examples in proof of this position. The
great danger in>miDing investments, as
in railroad stock operations, is that the
desire TO make money! rapidly attrac 6
to its pursuit INSCRIPTIONS men, whose
only Object is to line their own pockets
al the expense Of their stockholders. If
! i, were as easy to locate a railroad as it
| is 10 stake out mining claim, there is
| no doubt that the number Of shorn in
yestors Ia bogus railroad stocks would
be fully as great as those who lament
their haste in dumping their pockets in
some western hole in the ground ma
nipuluted by INSCRIPTIONS sharpers. 1T
is singular fact that we hear great
deal OF the swindling operators OF the
Coms;ock lode from the lips Of the very
men who are silent as to the equally
outrageous steals in Erie and Elevated
railroad stock, and the methods of the
Robinson consolidation are most EN-
phatically denounced by parties who
have themselves assisted in fleeing the
"lambs" in Wabash and Western Union.
Let eastern capitalists use the same pre-
cautions IN making investments in west
ern mining enterprises that they do in
other speculative operations nearer
home, lei the understand that I'll specu-
la.ion implies risk, and We shall hear
less bowling about wickedness in min
ing sharps and the shameful impositions
practiced upon credulous stockholders,
