DueltsG and II After the Son.


CHARLESTON, s. G., March 9.-Unde
special instructions from Governo
Thompson, State Constable X. N. Rich
bourg, with IL picked men, armed will
Springtield rifles, left Columbia at mid
night last night and arrived at Florence
at $50 a. IN. They were met there BY
Sheriff Cole of Darlington, and took i,
special train for Cash's depot.
The force reached a point mile below
Cash's depot at 8 q. III. Here The traiI
stopped and the force disem bar led anC
proceeded up the track on foot to Cash
house. Before daylight the house was
surrounded and the force waited fol
light.
About 8 o'clock Cash, the elder rose
found that the piCkets were about, arm.
ed him self with Winchester repeat
ing rifle and pistols and tried TO escape
from the prem ises. He ran agains,
John II. Pearson, one of the sentinels,
who presented his rifle, demanding his
surrender. Cash hesitated, and Pear.
son said, drop your gun or Pll shoot
you in two seconds"
Cash dropped his gun quickly. He
admitted having been taken completely
by surprise. When captured he was
endeavOring TO make his way to the
log house where young Cash has heen
sleeping every night since the murder.
The force closed in and searched old
Cash's house thoroughly, but could find
nothing Of Began Cash.
A party started for the log house, but
when they were half way there Cash,
getting alarmed for his sons safety,
made proposition to go to the log
house Of allowed to do 500 alone, and
pledge ed his honor that he would have
his son surrender within two hours.
The proposition was acceded TO, and
the force was recalled
Cash went and soon returned, saying
that his son had left the house An hour
before, and that he did not know where
he was. He offered, however, If the
force would withdraw, that his son
would surrender before Wednesday.
H stated that he only wanted to come
off with flying colOrs; that neither he
nor his son desired to be considered
outlaws, but that he desired to effect
capitulation on his own terms.
Bearing in mind the desire of Govern
OF Thompson, that Cash should be cap
tured rather than be allowed TO surren.
der, Chief Constable Richbourg declin-
Ell these terms. Cash's home was then
surrounded by guard, with instruc-
ti0ns 10 allow no departure or arrival.
Cash's pistols and rifle were taken from
him. Cash protested bitterly against
this but said that he yielded to force.
Captain Richbourg having deterlnin-
ed to let nothing prevent the most
thorough search for young Cash left
most of the men at the house, and at 9
O'Clock proceeded 70 Cheraw to summon
a larger posse with which TO enter the
swamp and track the fugitive.
At Cheraw about thirty additional
men for the posse, including a number
of horsemen, were obtained, and these
secured the country around for miles
during the evening, but could find no
traces of Began Cash.
The search will be resumed at day
light to morrow and strong hopes are
that the murderer will be
taken. Col. Cash was taken to Coum-
bia by to-night's train, charged with
in his sons crime.

Is Friday an Unlucky Day :?

In recent lecture by the Rev. Dr.
Savage, of Boston, on popular supersti.
tons, he said a careful study of history
showed Friday to be a lucky day instead
Of an unlacky day. 1t was on Friday
that Colum bus sailed in search of q
new world, and it was on Friday that
he discovered America. 1t was on that
day that the city Of st. Augustine was
founded, and also the day that the
compact was signed which finally led
to the constitution Of this country. 1t
was on Friday that the battle Of
Saratoga was fought; that Arnold's
treason was discovered that Yorktown
surrendered; that the motion was made
whereby the American colonies were
declared free, and it was the day on
which Washington was born. The su-
perstition that it was unlucky to dream
bad dreams three nights in succession
was one in which the lecturer believed,
for 1t showed that the victim had been
eating late at night, and had otherwise
neglected to take proper care OF him
self.

The most important advantages we
enjoy, and the greatest discoveries that
science can boast, have proceeded from
men who have either seen little of the
world, or have secluded themselves en-
tirely for the purpo"es of study. Not
only those arts which are exclusively
the result of calculation, such as navi.
CATION, mechanism, and others, but
even agriculture, may be said to de-
rive its improvements, if not its origin,
