GONE NORTH.

Mr.. IT. M. DObs0rf started to the Northern
markets last Monday for the purpose of max
ing his purchases for the fall trade. He was
accompanied by Mrs Dobson, whose fine taste
will be exercised in the selection of goods for
the millinery department of his stock.
We understand from our merchants that
they are all preparing to lay in large stocks for
the fall and winter trade, and that they are
determined to sell goods cheaper than they can
be bought in any market of the surrounding
country

PAINFUL ACCIDENT.

We regret to learn that a painful accident
befell Rev. R. p. Franks, pastor of the NJ. E.
Church at this place, on Friday, the 18th in
slant. He, in company with Master George
Walker, had been on visit to Lowndesville,
in Abbeville county, and on the day in ques-
ton had started on their return to Yorkville.
After proceeding about five miles, the mule
they were driving became frightened at COW
which made it's appearance at a sudden bend of
the road, and whirling around nearly upset
the buggy, throwing MIR. Franks to the ground,
and dragging him some thirty feet, before he
became extricated from the wheels. Mr..
Franks was badly bruised and it was feared
that some bones were broken. He was too
seriously injured to admit of attempting to
return home, and was taken to the house of
Mr.. Suber near the scene Of the occurrence,
where he received medical and other attention.

under date of last Sunday A horrible murder
occurred last Friday night on the plantation OF
Mr.. Feaster Lyles, near Buckhead Postoffice,
in Fairfield county. Two negroes, brothers,

certaned in Columbia became involved in
dispute about watermelon, when Bob seized
shotgun and fired upon his brother with fatal
effect The gun was loaded with slugs and
the whole charge struck "Sic" in the face and
head, completely tearing away his chin, one
eve and his nose. The wounded man lived
about an hour. Bob claimed that the shoot
ing was accidental, but the general belief is
that he intended to kill his brother and fired
upon him with murderous intent. Trial JUS

over the body yesterday, but with what result

AFTER THE BATTLE,

Since our last issue nothing new
has happened in relation to county
seat matters. The whole county bus.
mess IS at Stand-still, and it will un.
douotedly remain in this condition
until Mr.. Bailly has a hearing and is
either acquitted or permanently sus-
pended, and the treasurer compelled
to bring his books back to the county
seat. The ring are making a vain at.
tempt to create the false impression
among outside parties that the county
seat has been moved to Milbank, but
as the only books which they have in
their possession are those of the
treasurer and clerk of court, they are
having a hard time of it. They claim
to have ordered new books, and that
they will soon have the county clerk s
office in running order, but as they
have not Il single record belonging to
this most important office in the
county, it can readily be seen how
useless will be their endeayor to es-
tablish this Office away from the legal
county seat. Mr.. Eastman, the pre-
tended temporary clerk, cannot give
all abstract to a single piece Of land
in the county, and it would be useless
/ TO warn any one of the folly Of plac-
ing recording in his hands. The ring
may just as Well face the music and
acknowledge that business in the

and that their Inauguration of mob
law and violence has been the cause
of if. One significant fact, which the
people of the county Will do we'll to
