The Abbevile prcs, AMI E,uuc, ,r ,,s,
week says OF the a. & r. b. X. r.: "rho
work OF grading this road from Trickcn
mas DeeIi commenced in earnest. Inst Sat
urday night one mile Of the road from the
Innctlon with the Greenwood and Augusta
Railroad had been finished. a large fnrce
can easily be hired during the slack time
| III the farms. The days are LONG tho
weather is good and the money is in hand
ana we see no reason why the work should
not be pushed as rapidly as possible. Cant
MIX thinks the road will be graded to Ions,
Cane, three and a half miles, within Tie
present month. Crossing that stream there
IS very little work To do any where, until
-aoDevliie Court House is reached IT, some
places the digging up Of the slumps will be
the biggest JOB. From two hundred tc
threc hundred dollars mile will bring i
10 Mrs. Norwood's former residence snmo
two miles and Il half from town. The first
mile Of grading cost about two hundred
and fifty dollars
"A true story Of The death of :, snake
comes from Brushy Creek ncighborhooi in
Anderson county. Ii is this: A negro
man was returning from mill Il DAY or two
| ago riding mule, and being comfortably
seated OH his sack Of grist fell asleep as the
mule walked slowly along the road. In
TINS situation of affairs the mule discovered
Il snake almost under his feet, and slyinr
suddenly aside, threw the negro and his
hoilny, the negro falling OH the snake
and thereby ending its existence. Had Tie
snake survived the catastrophe the mule
would doubtless have received the blame
but the question is, who killed the snake
the negro or the mule? There seems little
doubt that the mule is entitled TO the credit,
me Skill and strength with which he threw
the colored individual at the reptile being
highly commendable. The citizen OH this
occasion can claim no more than the
praise due a well iea;hered arrow. He
was only the missile -ti,cea,iHc Ncrs.
The gentlcmcn who composed the Co,ln-
Gil that went out oi office Oh Monday las,
have made a good record for themselves
They have discharged their duties in q most
acceptable manner. and leave several public
improvements to testify for years 10 come
TO Their efficiency, progressivencss and pub
lie spiritcdncss. They deserve the well
done of all our citizens, whom they have
earnestly strivcn to serve satisfactorily.
Mr.. Tolly, the retiring lntendan.. had been
in service for three years consecutvely, and
always took great interest in whatever
affected the welfare Of the town, and never
neglected any of the various duties devolv-

Warden, had served the town four years in

than the welfare of his constituency to

Maxwell and Taylor, though in the Coun-
| Gil for only one year, showed their peculiar
| fitness for the positions they held in many
ways. Their Judgment upon all matters

| fifth member Of the old Council, tfr. Payne,
| is also member of the present Council,
| and his reelection is the best testimony
| that could be given of the esteem in which

Whatever adverse criticisms may be passed
upon any of the acts Of the outgoing Coun-
Gil. taken singlv, none can deny that they
have done their duty we'll, and that they
deserve the hearty thanks of all our people.
A white man by the name Of David Lev is
| and n cOlOred man named Governor Harper
had Il difficulty at the Goss place, two miles
from Ruckcrsville, Ga, on Wednesday of
last week, which resulted in the killing of
| the latter by the former. They had assem-
bled with a number Of other citizens for
| the purpose of working the roads, when
Lewis accused Harper of stealing fruit from
Mrs. Goss, which Harper denied. One of
| Lewis children also accused 1larper.s chill
| dren of abusing Lewis cows, which Harper
also denied. One word brought another,
the parties became angry, and Harper in
vited Lewis out to settle the matter III n
fight. After going short distance Harper
picked up II rock, when Lewis struck him
on the head with a hoe He fell and never
spoke again. This occurred about ga. III;
and he died about p. III. DIR. j. + Heard
was summoned and did all he could for the
man but without avail, although he said
the skull was not broken. Lewis was
promptly arrested, and while under guard
| a crowd of negroes attempted TO take him
for the purpose of lynching him; They
were resisted by the guard, who took the
prisoner to the house OF airs. cleveland,
