! never possessed the power "to speak
in public on the stage" This defect
has been the cause Of frequent embar-
rassment and modification, for there
have been many occasions when it would
have been both proper and pleasant to
have been even moderately gifted with
the power of speech-making. Aware of
my infrmity, of course never attempt
ed to participate in debate, but, on one
occasion, when a bill which | had re-
ported myself from standing committee
of which | was member, was in com
mittee of the whole, a member desired
information in regard to the object and
effect of particular section. The in
formation desired, though proper, was
very simple; and if it had been asked
for in committee room, or informally,
in the presence of dozen or twenty
persons, should have given it without
the slightest embarrassment. And, for
getting myself for moment, rose to
reply. Before uttering dozen words,
however, became confused, then STAN
mered, and soon, finding myself utterly
incapable of proceeding, ended in a reg
ular middle. This was my first and last
attempt, either in that House or in the
Assembly of 1880, when | was again a

u, s, CIRCUIT COURT.

The United States Circuit Court, which
has been sitting for several weeks at Green
vile, adjourned last Thursday. a large
number of cases, several of which were
petty and of trivial character-viOlations
of the U. S. Internal Revenue laws-were
disposed of. Before the adjournment of the
Court, District Attorney Melton, in a speech
of some length, which is reported in the
Ners, referred to the abuses which exist III
the administration of the revenue laws in
this State, and suggested some plans for
effecting a reform. Judge Bryan expressed
himself as in full sympathy with the Dis
trict Attorney in the matter of correcting
abuses, and issued an order that all persons
in commission as deputy marshals prior
to the 25th of July last, not now in regular
commission as such, who have in charge
warrants of arrest issued prior to the lst
day of July, be required to forthwith re-
turn the same to the Office of the marshal
of the district. Many of these warrants
are alleged to be for offences not worth the
time of the Court, and issued for no other
conceivable purpose but to augment the
fees of the deputy marshals. The warrants
will all be examined and all of the charac-
ter described thrown out.
Grand and petit jurors were drawn for
q special term to be held next February,
and for the next regular term commencing
next August. OF the grand jurors for the
special term, the following are citizens OF

LETTER FROM BLACKS STATION.

BLACKS STATION, 5. g., September H.
I have been looking in vain, in the last sew
eral issues of the ENQUIRER, for the accus-
toned letter of "Ego''; but, 1 suppose, like
the "dear people," he wants change, and
the life and dash of the livery business have
more attraction for him than literary pur-
suits. Until he favors us with another let
ter, l will attempt to fill up the interim
with few items from our little town. The
weather has been very dry, and occasionally
quite cool. We are now having frequent
showers, and the rain will be Of great SER
vice to late corn, potatoes and turnips
The cotton crop is thought to be short, on
an average at least one half, and some
farms will make very little more than
enough to pay guano bills. The corn crop is
also light, probably not more than half as
good as last year; but with the bulk of the
wheat crop and the quantity of old corn in
the country, there will not be any great
scarcity of breadstuffs.
The boom for Improvement still holds
sway at Blacks. Several buildings have
Just been completed and others are in course
of erection. Mr. d. D. CASTOR has just fin
ished handsome and imposing tWo-story
brick stOre-house on the corner of Shelby
and Cherokee streets. 1t is large and capa-
cious, and does credit to our place and to the
enterprise and energy of Mr.. CASTOR.
Blacks bids fair to rival Yorkville as
cotton market; farmers who live from six
to ten miles nearer the latter place, prefer
ing to bring their cotton here.
The Cherokee High School, under the et-
ficient management of Rev. j. A. White. is
in fourishing condition, and has upon its
rolls the names of nearly one hundred and
twenty regular pupils. Mr.. White is ably
assisted by Miss Cleo Gardiner.
The erection of an Episcopal Church edi-
flee at this place is well on the way. A lot
has been given, a liberal subscription made
by the citizens, and the contract for build
ing the church will be let out in a few weeks.
Services are held here about once month
by Rev. j. d. Mccullough, of Spartanburg.
1t is evident that our little place is having
a healthy and steady growth. A good class
of citizens are gathering in and building
comfortable homes. The location Of the
town is healthy and picturesque. 1t is well
laid out, and building lots are held at very
reasonable prices. What we need most of
all is good roads to the place. Our people
are waking up on that question, and already
something has been accomplished. One
new road has been opened out, and several
others are soon to be laid out and opened.
With this and the other advantages of the
place, already mentioned, Blacks has quite
a bright future before it. CHEROKEE.

took the negro, tied him to a tree, shot him,
then beat him to a jelly and left him.
On the night of the 10Th instant, the
postofice in Newberry was broken open by
burglars. The postmaster was at the North.
He usually kept the office funds in Il box in
the post-office, but the assistant postmaster
had that evening taken the money to bank.
The money box was broken open, but moth
ing found. The burglars left Il lot of tools
which will probably lead to their ldentl-
1icatiOn.
Rock Hill He,ulda Mr.. John G. Steele
finished threshing his oat crop last week.
He made nearly e, 900 bushels, and of that
amount he has sold about 600 bushels at
prices ranging from 40 to 30 cents per BUSH
ell. He estimates the cost of growing his en-
tire crop at ten cents per bushel, and regards
rhe Oat crop as the most profitable one that
can be- grown in this section. Certain it is
that his experience warrants him in contln-
ling the cultivation of oats.
Lexington Dispuch: Hon. Samuel Dib-
ole addressed his constituency at this place
on Monday in speech of about an hour and
a half. He was listened to with marked at
tention and gave at length his reasons for
advocating a civil service issue instead of a
tariff issue in the coming Presidential con-
test and also for supporting Mr.. Randall
tatives He read extracts from the Congress-
sionuk Record which he claimed as proof that
Randall did not pack the committee on ways
and means in favor Of the PrOtectionists in
the last Congress, and that his vote on the
quinine item of the last tariff bill was for
its reduction.
The Spartanburg municipal election will
be held on the 18th Of October There is no
prospect that any political question will di-
vide the voters, andtlle election will prob
ably be very quiet one. The people are
anxious to have the law against the sale of
Intoxicating liquors stringently enforced,
and may endeavor to have ticket nomi-
mated with this end in view. Even with
the present council (Which was elected a
year before the no-license system went into
operation) the Improvement has been very
great, and much has been done toward a
| reformation in this direction.

BETHEL PRESBYTERY.

Bethel Presbytery met in regular sessions
at Blackstock on Saturday, the 18th inst. at
73O p. m., and adjourned on Tuesday to
meet at Rock Hill on Friday before the first
Sunday in April, 1884. The sessions were
pleasant and full of busy work. The reports
from the Church show that nearly all
were supplied with the regular ministry of
the Word of God. In several congregations
there has been gratifying increase in the
number of the communicates, and in many
an increase in the number of attendants
upon preaching and other public services.
The whole prospect before US is hopeful.
The executive committee were directed to
arrange for the employ of an evangelist and
report at the next stated meeting.
Members of the church living within the
bounds different congregation from that
in which their names are enrolled were
urged to move their membership to the
church in whose bounds their home is
placed, and the sessions interested were
directed to attend to the matter without
needless delay.
The seminary at Columbia and Davidson
Colege-b0th of which are in part under
the oversight of this resbytery-received
due attention, and were both reported as
doing IL good and growing work for the
Church, and both maintaining the high
reputation they have gained. Resolutions
were passed commencing both to the fost-
crng care of the churches
The overtures sent by the General AS
sembly to the presbyteries were nearly all
referred to special committees to report at
the next meeting. An overture from the
Fort Mill session asking "Can a church
member be disciplined for dancing" was
answered in the affirmative.
The Rev. J. H. Thornwell was modera-
tor and conducted the business of the body
with much tact and skill. The sessions
closed with presbyterial prayer meeting,
at which large congregation was present
and much interest manifested.-Hinnsboro

RAILROAD MATTERS.

The schedule of the Chester and Lenoir
Railroad was changed last Monday, the
train leaving Newton at 5 A. NJ, and arri-
wing here at 1915. Returning from Ches-
ter, the train arrives here at 4.35 P. NJ.
Mr.. Il. Whittle, formerly loading clerk for
the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail-
road at Chester, has been appointed conduc-
tor on the Chester and Lenoir Railroad, in
place of conductor Rummel, who was re-
Gently suspended. Mr.. John II. Moore,
also of Chester, has been appointed conduc,
tor on the Cheraw and Chester Railroad, in
place of w. w. Perry, resigned.
The Lincoln Press says that the authori-
ties Of the Chester and Lenoir Railroad have
bought the right to lay third rail on the
Western n. c. Railroad from Newton tC
Hickory, paying for the same $3.50 pei
month. That paper says: 'The rail will be
laid at once, and the trains will soon be run
ming through from Lancaster to Hickory
The road from Hickory to Lenoir will be
rapidly built, and it is thought will be com
pleted by November lst."

ADISAPPOINTMENT.

There was quite disappointment to a
large crowd of both sexes, who had as
sembled on the Court House Square last
Friday night to hear an open air concert by
the Wizard Oil Company, who were passing
through en- route to Lancaster. Mr.. Burt,
the manager, thought to crafty his friends
here by singing few pieces, and for this
purpose drove out his carriage, not with
the intention of offering anything for sale.
On opening, the town marshal demand
ed license fee Of s.. This Mr.. Burt re-
fused to pay and the entertainment was alb
ruptly brought to a close. To those who
were disappointed on the suppostion that
the town council acted arbitrarily, it is but
Just to explain that there was a misunder-
standing all round. The marshal was in
structed to collect license fee only on con-
dition that Mr.. Burt offered his medicine
for sale. Buthe misinterpreted his instruc-
tions, and thought he was to collect the fee
if Mr.. Burt "exhibited"- being the
word that gave rise to the trouble, each
party using it with different meaning.
