CHESTER, S. c., hnuary 3, 18s1.-The
Christmas and New Yer holidays passed off
pleasantly and without amy accident to mar
the gayaties of the festive season. The b'hoys

balling and similar spot-.the heavy snow that

This road having been completed to Lancas:
ter, the convictsemployed on it were returned
to the penitentiary last week. They were
treated to Christmas dinner, at Lancaster.
Gne of the colvicts, who rendered efficient
aid to guard has received pardon from The
Governor, andwill be given employment on
the road.

that church, left last week for his new charge

LETTER From ROCK HILL.

Rock HILL, S.. c., January 3, loSl.-Ihe
last two weeks have been somewhat eventful
in our town. The preparations for the CHRIST.
mas holidays were the livef1est ever Kno"n'
Every one seemed to anticipate Joyous time.
It. therefore, was perfect harvest to the
dealers in holiday goods. The morn OF the
25th dawned in every sense Christmas day.
A beautiful snow fell-the gladdening con-
summation to many happy heart. The day
was spent in mirthful sports by the young and
the old. The stores were all closed, and the
CORDS of Young men turned loose. The time
passed as merry as marriage bells. But ut last
the joy of many was turned to sorrow ana sad
ness.
Between the hours of and II that night,
Robert Kitchens Gordon and one Howell, went
to the livery stable lot of G. Y, Baxter, and
found there Andrew Cureton and VIM. Alex
ander. Iboth colored) the hostlers. Gordon
and Howell wanted a horse. Whlle at Che
stable, however, Gordon and Howell quarreled
and got to blows. Howell begged that All
drew Cureton would take Gordon off him, as
Gordon seemed to have gotten Howell down
and had drawn his pistol. The pistol was
taken from him and thrown to the Dack OF the
room-a small office connected with the stable,
and in which the hostler slept. Gordon got
up and Howell fled. Cureton had hold OF
Gordon, saying: "You must not fight in here;
l am your friend if you don't behave, will
have to call the police Gordon drew his
knife, and said, with an oath II will Kill you
turn me loose" Cureton caught the wrist OF
the hand in which Gordon held the open knife,
and rather pushed Gordon back to the door.
When the door was reached, Gordon set one
foot just outside. 1t seems that just then
Cureton released his hold on Gordon's hand,
and at that moment, as is supposed, Gordon
plunged the knife into the left side of Cure
toms neck, severing the large artery. Cure
ton said: 'Mr. Gordon, you have cut me-"
and told the boy, Wm Alexander, to 90 for
DR., Fewell. The boy ran to the Doctors Office
and called Some one heard him and ran for
DIR. Crawford. irhe boy returned at once to
where Cureton vas, and found that he was
dead.
Upon the floor was lying the corpse of An
drew Cureton, !he victim of cruel knife
thrust, and beside him lay his slayer, the ap-
parent helpless Fictim of King Alcohol. In

must be put down, no matter at what cost.
AS he resumed his seat, there was no manlfes-
tation of any kind. The Court adjourned
until Monday.
The following late dispatches, showing the
active preparations of the British Government,
would indicate that the situation is growing
more serious:
The Dublin correspondent of the London
Times says: The movements of the troops
have excited very uneasy feeling. IL IS
generally believed that the government posses
ses information warranting the apprehension
of danger. The government has made very
complete preparations for any emergency;
Immense supplies OF provisions, tents and
other campaigning requisites hav- been stored
in central depots. 1t is stated that all these
preparations point to the conclusion that the
government believes that far greater danger
than is seen turks behind a store-shlp has
arrived from Woolwich with 10000 rounds OF
buckshot and large quantity OF ball, cart,
ridges and entrenching tools. Another vessel
is shiping a similar cargo at Woolwich for new
stations at Bruff, Molill, Carrick- Shannon
and BallysllannOn, which will be occupied Dy
troops. These positions are we'll chosen, be-
ing the centres of the disturbed districts from
which troops could operate in various dlrec-
tions. At all stations where cavalry are
quartered without infantry, the supply OF am
munition will be increased fifty rounds per
man.
The barrack accommodation in the country
is insufficient for the increased number OF sol
diers. Temporary barracks will, therefore, he
fitted at Rathkeal, County Limerick, and En-
nesly and County Clare, for details of detacl!-
ments of infantry, each comprising two ON,
GERS and fifty men. Another detachment will
be sent to Loughrea, County Galway, rs soon
as quarters for them have been provided.
The military corres ndent of the Irish
Times, under datetof Friday, says that tile
authorities contemplate the dispatch of a fly
ing column over the country almost imme
diately, s.was done during the Fenian rising
1t is.said that every step necessary for the
movement is already arranged. Nine com
panies will be started, each comprising one ONE
troop of cavalry, a division of artillery, will
two guns, four companies of infantry, ten sap
pers and a detachment of army service.

Interesting Irish Statistics.

- A recent writer gives the following facts
and statistics pertaining to Ireland and the
land tenure system under which the island is
governed, which will prove Of interest at the
present time:
The whole island of Ireland consists Of 20
1927. .764 acres of land, OF which 4,63O, ,059
acres are bog, mountain water, roads and
| fences =,
In 1875 a return was made to the British
Parliament mo. 422) showing the number of
landlords or owners of land il Ireland. There
were at that time flour years ago. 6S, al own
ers. But 36, 144 Of these, more than half the
whole number, held each only one rood OF
land they are merely house owners. Hall, The
entire island is held by $50 persons-and 10
per cent. of these are absentees.
The population of Ireland (hst census) was
{. 3N. on. According to report to Par!ls-
ment IL 1870, there were in Ireland 1926, ,015
persons living wholly by agrictlture-or more
than Is per cent. of the whole population.
Another report, in 1870, showed the tenure
of the farmers holdings. The total holdings
were 6s2, 2,237. OF these 20, 2l7Ior per cent.
of the whole, were held by ppprietors or in
fee; 1882, or 10 per cent! were held by
lease: and 526, ,929 holders, or over n per cent.
of the whole, were held utterE at the will OF
the landlord.
Examine these facts, and tle hopeless mis-
ery of Ireland under the preseE system stands
out in lines of fire. The who'll island Except
those holdings of one rood Of hnd) is owned
by some 32, 600 persons. But bore. than half
the island is owned by $50 pedons; and more
than half of these simply driw their back
rents from the country, and send every far
thing Of the money abroad.
The English Parliament, by IN unparalleled
system of merciless destruction wiped out OF
Ireland the existence Of manufactures (see
Lecky's History of the Eighteenth Century,
80 that now, more than rs yer cent. of the
whole population live on farms, and of the
farms over II per cent, with aleast 3, ,00O,0O
persons, have no tenure savethe capricious
will of the landlords.
This means that any time uhted action by
800 or 400 landlords would rhder houseless
and homeless 5000, 900 INDUSTRIOUS people,
who. from the absence Of any ther means Of
living, by manufactures, etc., would have to
starve or emigrate, or agree topay the highest
back-rent demanded. Such uited action by
the landlords may be expected Is the coming
coercion act leaves at the nero of the owners
the unfortunate tenants who dred think their
souls were their own. '...
