: The subject of divorce is attracting

= The subject of divorce is attracting
the attention Of the governors OF the
States. Gov. Bourn, Of Rhode Island,
puts his foot down in his message upon
the Philadelphia and New York people
who are temporarily abiding in that State
for the purpose Of securing divorces. In
ten years 1884 applications for divorce
have been made in Rhode Island and
1926 granted. This shows too much
domestic infelicity for such email State.
The Governor wants the laws amended so
that none but bona fde residents will be
able to use the divorce courts. Gov.
Hoadly, of Ohio, in his message calls at
tention to the increase of divorces in that
State and insists upon the amendment OF
the tax laws.
= There are fifteen Senators to be
elected in the next thirty days, with two
changes coming in favor of the Republic
cans and one doubtful case, that of Hi.
nois, where they may lose. Farley, of
California, and Slater, of Oregon, will be
succeeded by Republicans the former
probably by ex minister Sargent and the
latter by George H. Williams or John
H. Mitchell, Jones, of Nevada, will try
to get another term and so will Hill, of
Colorado, but in the latter case the op.
posing candidates are many and the issue
is doubtful. Ingalls,, of Kansas, will
probably be elected as will Cameron. of
Pennsy and Platt, of Kentucky,
while Wisconsin will have contest with
Angus Cameron refusing to run.

A Story OF Greenviiie County at the
Close OF the Civil War.

STONE House, GREENvILLE COUNTY,
January 2.-Much excitement was
caused in this neighborhood recently by
the supposed discovery Of q long lost
treasure which was buried at the close of
the war to keep it from the raiders.
Col. Joseph Choice at the close Of the
wer heard that q gang of the marauders
was spread terror and devastation in
the upper part of the county, and as he
owned much valuable stock he had his
servants to hide them in the thick swamps
and hol!ows around the foot Of Paris
Mountain, while he carried off his mon.
ey and valuable papers, &c. On his re.
turn he remarked that he had hidden his
treasures where the sharpestA Yankee
rogue in the army could not hem,
but did not say where.
Three or four days and no
raiders were heard of, apd<Col. Choice
decided to have his stock brought back
home. This he did, and the next day,
while he was eating dinner, the servants
came rushing in, saying: 20, master,
the lot is full ofIYankees. and they are
going to steal your mare"
Col. Choice jumped up from the table,
grabbed his rife and rushed out in the
back piazza just in time to see the raid.
era putting the saddle On this favorite
mare of his. He commanded them to
stop or he would shoot the first man that
attempted To steal his mare.
No attention was paid to him, but in
stead one of them mounted his mare
and started of. No sooner did he start
than Col. Choice took deliberate aim and
fired. The rider was killed instantly.
AS soon as the raiders realized the situa.
lion they all turned their weapons on
Col. Choice and fired. When the echo
died away headless corpse was stretched
out on the foor-all that remained OF
Col Choice.
The gang forbade any of the family to
move his body at the peril Of their lives,
and after committing all the indignitiea
they could they rode of to Capt. VIM.
Choices and told him that they had
killed bis id - of brother"
Since the death of Col. Joseph Choice
many hunted for his hidden gold but
without success. The other day q negro
| while cutting wood noticed pile of fresh
| dirt, and rs it had been thrown up Since
the day before, he was curious to know
what it meant. On examining the hole
closely he found that square box had
| been taken from it, while on the ground
around were pieces of fine china, isinglass
buttons and small pieces of walnut
box. He Informed his employer about
1t, and as he knew of this story about
this hidden gold he at once came to the
conclusion that some one had .ound the
treasure.
1t is supposed that some one raw Col
Cnoice when he buried it and has waited
till now in hopes of it being forgotten.
It is carefully estimated That the finder
did not get less than $1,000 in gold
besides other valnsbles. a letter to

The Woman Candidate.

WAsHINoToN, January l2.-Mrs. Bel.
va Ann Lockwood in her petition pre-.
sented in the Senate this morning asks
that the votes cast for her in New York.
New Hampshire, indiana, Iowa, Michi.
gan, Illinois, Maryland and California be
counted, and that the electoral vote of
Indiana be given to her.
She charges that votes cast for her
were "fraudulently and illegally coun.
ted for the alleged majority candi.
date, the same being antagonistic
to the letter and spirit of the law and
subversive of every principle of equity
and iDjust;ce." She also asks that the
Senate refuse 10 receive the electoral
returns of the State of New York. or
count them tor the alleged majority
candidate, "for if the 1 1886 votes which
were polled in said State for your peti.
TONER had been counted for her, and not
for one Grover Cleveland, he would not
have been awarded the majority of ali
the vo.es cast at said election in said
State" Her reason for asking that the
electoral vote of Indiana be cast for her,
che says. is "that after the Electoral
College Of that State had cast its vote
for the aforesaid Grover Cleveland. il
changed its mind, as it had a legal right
to, and did cast its united ballot for your
petitioner"

Relieved or Neuralgia.

4 correspondent Of the Neus and Cou.
rier, writing from Baltimore under date Of
January 5, says:
Through the happy medium of your
paper, the people Of South Carolina, and
indeed of the neighboring States, will be
glad 10 learn that this morning Judge
Aldrich and his wife left here for South
Carolina with happy hearts. Three
weeks ago Judge Aldrich put himself
under the treatment of South Carolina's
able son, Prof. Frank 7. Miles, M. D.,
specialist in nervous diseases, for neural.
gia of the face, from which he had been
suffering for some eighteen months, until
the excrucialing paroxysms became
unendurable.
Prof Miles, than whom there is no
better authority upon nervous diseases in
the United States, soon found that only
tie knife could give relief, and at his
instance and under his supervision Prof.
l.. McLane Tiffany, NJ. d., with prover.
bial skill, laid bare the offending nerve
and resected about one and half inches
of it. In the words Of Judge Aldrich,
from the moment the ether took effect
until the surgeon dismissed the case he
had not had twinge of pain and very
slight soreness from the healing wound.
There is every case for both the hope and
belief that the operation has been so
thorough and skilful that the relief will
be permanent.
The case is considered q peculiar one,
and the medical fraternity may hear oft
later though the medical journals. The
cause of pain was thought TO be from the
enlargement pf the nerve just where il.
passed through the bone of the face. thus
causing unnatural contraction Of the
nerve, and consequently, excruciating
agony, the paroxysms being caused by
the nerves relieving itself by exhaustion
after each paroxysm.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE.

None of the Representatives from this
County have given the people the infor.
nation which we called upon them to
furnish relative TO the failure Of tho bill
to allow the voters of this County to pass
upon the question Of license or no license
for the sale of spirituous liquors In An.
dersou County. Over 1000 Of the citi-
zens Of this County asked for the right
10 vote upon the matter, but five men
who were elected to serve tho people, or
some of them, thwarted the wishes Of the
petitioners, and undertook to settle the
question by allowing the sale Of liquor
to continue, whether the people wanted
it or not. In other words, they constitut.
ed Themselves masters Of the people.
Now, when we call on them for informa-
ton as to who is responsible, they are all
dumb. We want to know, and great
many Of our readers want TO know, how
our delegation stood on the subject. We
have.made general call upon them. but
have secured no response. Therefore we
have determined TO ask each member
personally. some questions which may
elicit the information we want. <'
To begin with, therefore, We would
like to know if Mpj. Moore is in favor OF
the bill or opposed to it9 Why did the
Senate Committee refuse to report the
bill9 Was he present at the meeting OF
the Committee, and II SO, did he fsyc.
reporting the bill? Did he tell tho Com.
mittee how he would go,e If the bill
reached the Senate? If go, how7
From MIR. Watson, we would like to
know how he stood. Did he 60 before
the Senate Committee, and II 90, in the
interest Of which side? Did any other
member Of the delegation go before the
Committee9 If so, who, at what time
and on which side of the question:
From Mr.. scudday, we would like te
know why be reported The bill without
recommendation? Which members o.
the delegation prevented favorable
report, and which favored such o report
From Mr.. Clinkscales, we would like
to know how he stands upon the bill
and how he voted on reporting the bill
From Col. Rucker, we would like Il
know how he stands upon the bill
How he voted on reporting itf Did he
go before the Senate Committee? Il
SO, on which side9 Did he meet
any other member of the delegation
there? If so, who, and when, and or
which side did he 60 there?
These are questions upon the public
acts of public men. The people have 6
right to On answer to them, and suct
members as have the courage of theil
convictions should not hesitate to
answer them. Let us hear from you
gentlemen.

The House Of Representatives has
passed the Reagan bill to regulate inter.
State commerce. Itfxes the rate of fare
on railroads for passengers at three cents
per mile, and prohibits determination in
freights. 1t provides for no Commission,
but imposes heavy penalties for the vic.
lation of It's provisions. The purposes of
the bill arc good, and undoubtedly much
good will be accomplished by the bill,
should 1t become law. 1t may at the
same time prove disastrous TO the rail.
roads in many sections of the Union,
and thereby injure the people of those
sections. The more prosperous roads
vii! not be uDreaaonably in.erfered with
by the bill, but 1t may work disaster to
the roads in the less populous States.
We fear the bill las not sufficient dis.
elimination in its classification of rail.
roads. It's provisions which affect pas
sage and freight rates between different
points In the same State are, in our opin-
ion, in conflict with the Constitution and
theory Of our government. The general
government has no right TO interfere in
the internal policy of any State. The
bill has not yet passed the Senate, and
we apprehend that owing to the short
time remaining before the fourth of
March, it will scarcely be brought to a
final vote in that body.
