He had loved others, but she was the
first he had really loved, the only one
he could have loved with such utter
confidence. Gentle, silent, atfectionate
mischevious! He was mad with love of
her, intoxicated with the perfume of
her presence, with her pretty childish
talk, with the wise and grave little pout-

Miss Kinard's Tragic Death.
Circumstances which PoInt to Foul
Play.
Especial to the Register

PROSPERITY. s. c., January IL
After much delay and inquiry, l have
been enabled to learn the following
particulars in the case of Miss Laura
Kinard, who was found dead in her
fathers house January 9Th. She. had
apparently been sitting in front of
the fireplace Tor at least it appeared
so to any one entering the ROOM and
bad fallen forward on her face into
the fire. Her arms were burned nearly
off and her face was burned beyond
recognition.
As soon as it was known in the
community, her friends and relatives
went to perform the last sad rites,
but the father refused them admission
to the room, and would allow no one
to enter. The coroner was driven off
by him on. Saturday, but afterwards
returned and forced his way into the
room and held the inquest. Her
father had not buried her, as stated
in my former communication, and
he still refuses to allow her remains to
be inferred.
At the inquest, Kinard admitted
that he had given his daughter some
medicine the day before, but refused
to tell the jury what it was in the
presence Of the physicians who had
been attending at the inquest. After
the phyaicians retired he said it was
an infusion of bayberry. skull cap,
alder and-the fourth herb I have
been unable to learn the name. This
created suspicion in the minds Of
the jury. and they had the stomach
taken out and sent to Charleston for
analysis. Drs. Mcintosh and Glider
made the examination.

exodus.

From various portions'of the State,
notably il the case of NeWberry,
Greenville, Kershaw and Barn well
Counties, numbers of negroes are
moving West. Some also have left
Aiken, but unfortunately they have
not left the State, but merely changed
their residence to Beaufort County
the Ethiopia of South Carolina.
Whenever We hear Of these exo.
buses our heart is filed with Joy,
because in this annual migration we
see the hand of merciful God, re-
moving by natural and peaceful agen-
cies an inferior and immoral race to
congehiT pastures, thus relieving
.onr-cigiliaai;on and, refinement of an
excessive racs preponderance which
clogs the we'll springs of progress
and makes our people slaves to the
ruinous policy of exhausting their
energy and resources upon one great
staple crop. .,ar
Behind each one of the outgoing
sable bands the army Of progress is
pressing forward with Caucasian re
cruitH, who with ingenious appliane e:
for .skillful labor will close the gars
and ravish from the womb Of eur b
her varied products, and convert the
slave Of the all cotton idta into a self
respecting, independent farmer, with
the comforts and luxuries of life in

Necessity Of Supplemeniing the
Ss;I State Sche8l Tax

In announcing the opening Of our
free common schools, we are remind
ed that the late Legislature. unfor.
tuuately, did not paas a.gsneral law
allowing the voters Of school districts
to levy local school tax to supple.
ment the proceeds of the State tax.
It is very necessary that this power
ahorld be given, in order to perfect
the! public school system; and the
amount Of the tax could be so re.
stricted as to prevent any abuse Ct
the privilege. Such law, in behalf
of particular localitiss-the city Of
Columbia for instance-has been euc-
cessfully tried in this State, and We
hope that it will be extended next
year.
