SAD DEATH or Nix. JAMES
HuGHEs.-We regret to announce
the killing OF Mr.. James Hughes.
highly esteemed young man re-
siding near Richland, by Mr.. Brew
cr, on last Tuesday night. The
circumstances under which the
deed was committed were, 80 far
as we have been able to learn. as
follows: Mr.. Hughes, who had
been to the tireman's pic mic at
Walhalla, in returning home about
10 O'Clock at night called ct the
house Of Mr.. Brewer, who is a ten
ant upon his farm. Some Of the
inmates Of Mr.. Brewers house,
hearing him outside awakened Mr..
Brewer and told him that some
one Was attempting to break into
the house. Mr.. Brewer, jumping
out OF his bed and taking his shot
gun, went to the door and seeing
an individual in the yard, called
out to him and then fired. The
contents OF the gun entered the
back OF Mr.. Hughes between the
shoulders and penetrating his
heart he fell over and died in fif-
teen or twenty minutcs.--Seneca

SroFfoRD DRUNK AGAIs.-Sherifi
Spoford summoned n posse Of be-
tween forty and fifty Of the most
resolute men in the county to at
tempt the capture Of w. B. Cash
last night. This posse was to
leave Cheraw at - o'clock, but
the sheriff did not arrive until 2,
and was then persuaded to put
some one else in command, he be-
ing unable to act efficiently. Ma
jor w. Is. Hancock was placed in
charge, with +. L. King, j. a.
Sellers and Henry Jackson az
deputies. The posse went on
leaving the sheriff nearly quar-
ter Of - mile from the scene Of ac-
ton, and surrounded the Cash
mansion, the residence of the his
torical Julia Ann and another
house, where it was supposed w.
b. Cash might be. These werc
thoroughly searched, the Cash
mansion from it's base to the gar
ret. but the bird had flown If he
had ever been there.
DR.. Clayton did not fancy hav-
ing his house SEARCHED. but was
informed that he would have to
submit and that no terms would
be made with any one. Coz. Cash
said that if the sheriff and certain
men he named would come when
he notified them both he and his
son would accompany them to the
court t-house. He was answered
that he would have to 90 with
Just such men as the officer in
charge should choose to have
with him. and no terms would be
made with him. There has never
been a day when any number Of
men could not have been obtained
to execute the warrant of arrest in
spite of all the Cashes on the face
OF the earth. and the only trouble
is in finding w. B. Cash.
This failure might have been
predicted after the mode Of sum
moning men for the posse and the
inability Of the sheriff to act was
known

Mischief Done by Good Natured Peo.
pie.

what are called Od-natured peO-
pie rarely undertake unpleasant
duties IL they can possibly avoid
them. They do not like telling
disagreeabie truths, however urg-
cnt the necessity for SO doing, but
transfer the mission to sterner
friend with some such phrase as,
II should not like to do it, or, II
should not like to say it, Just as
if the habit Of their lives was on
ly to what they liked. Indeed, the
good natured people we are de
scribing are rarely generous in a
grand way; they are seldom capa-
hle Of self sacraficc. If they are
rich they give money rather than
take trouble. If they are people
Of leisure they probably give time,
which, perhaps, is not very pre-
cious to them; but doing some
thing they greatly dislike in or
der to benefit another, is a virtue
too rare to be found among them.
There is form Of deception, too
often considered very venial, with
which social good naturcd people,
if they are good letter writer's, are
not seldom associated. This isl
drawing up letters for their less
gifted acquaintances to copy and
send out as their own. 4 really
good letter often makes a very ia
vorablc impression; but it is some
thing like a false coin If it be not
the composition Of the signcr. MOI
doubt there are cases when it is
necessary some statement should
be made in language more clear
and precise than the person con
ccrned can command: but in these
instances the ready penman should
write in his own person for his
friend. We are afraid many stu
ations of trust and responsibility
have been obtained on the strength
OF admirable letters dictated by
another. But incompetence is sure
to be discovered sooner or later, as
it is q deception, which is less for
Eivable than want Of ability. Long,
long ago, we knew Of a case far
more sad than the engaging Of an
incompetent clerk or governess. 4
girl Of good family and large for
tune was won over to accept for a
husband a young gentleman of
small means and not much princi-
pie, mainly by the eloquent, poet
ical, very charming letters he ad-
dressed to her; nearly or not quite
All Of which were composed by al
clever, brilliant friend who had
never seen her. When the mar
riage proved very far from a hap

wife and children Of his own-we

deeply regretted the part he had
played in deluding a confding

A Wonderful Child.

A Richmond lind letter to the
Chicago "Ncws' say s: We have a
mathematical wonder here. 1t is
a child six years Of age, the son of
Nj. l.. Price, journeyman carpen-
ter. The little fellow does not
know figures any better than he
does letters; yet he mentally solves
problems way up in the hundreds
that would require paper and pen
Gil with the average business man,
and he gives you an answer as
promptly as most boys Of his years
could give you their age. After
answering a number Of questions
in multiplication he was asked if
he was prompt in addition and
subtraction, and rs he replied he
did not know what that meant: ::
yet when given sums and suhtrac-
tiOns to do he did them as quickly
as If he had the examples in multi
plication. For instance, You give
him your age in years and he will
tell you Instantly how many weeks
old you are. Sometimes he will
answer in this wise: Twenty times
thirty are ten sixties: but an in
slant after he will tell vow ten
sixties are 600. However. in bis
calculations he is not governed by
the rule Of tens at all, for be lust
as promptly answers when the
amount does not include cvDher
as when it concludes with one.
His father said he began askingI
and solving problems in small
way the latter part OF last summer;I
but he gave up the habit until
about Christmas. when he again
became interested in figures, or
rather mental calculations. and
has recently developed the charac-
teristic that certainly stamps him
wonder. In appearance he is
childikc, but in actions more
manly. caring more about being
with his father and the lattcr's
associates than with his own play
mates. In development his fore
head is rather broad. but the
other parts Of his head and his
body are not beyond ordinary, his
weight being forty-six pounds.
His parents have two other child
rem, not remarkably bright.

AGRICULTURE.

ONE WAY TO CURE A BALKY HoRsE.-
/ notice Won are always ready to say a
good word for that noble animal, the
horse. Our neighbor had good horse
a large, handsome horse. In one re-
spect he was better than most men, for
he had but one fault, but that was
bad one. and greatly reduced his cash
yalue, He would balk, and always
lust when you didn't want him TO. My
father was a humane and practical man.
He happened 20 want a good horse.
He offered our neighbor low price for
his balky horse, and then and there he
became siraightway the owner OF the
animal. For several days he fed and
fiattered the horse, making his acquaint-
ance. On a pleasant day he put him
before a single wagon. putting news
paper il the seat, leaving the whip In
the stable, and starting off for drive.
After going eff in good style about
mile the horse came to a dead halt and
expressed signs Of good, long stay.
NV father quietly took up the paper
and perused 1t. In about one hour the
horse started eff in full gallop and went
about a mile further, and came to an
other full halt The paper was resorted
to for a5out one-half hour. when the
horse started again in full stride. After
going a short distance ne headed him
toward home. which was reached IN
good time. The next day he repeated
the experiment with only one balk, and
that only one-half as long. The third
day was a success; no balk at all. He
then passed him to the tesmster, who
put him in with another horse and
worked him six months, during which
he was never known to balk, and not
having further use for the horse he sold
him for SD more than he paid"
