Our enterprising citizen Mr.. John
T. CoIston, since he has become the
owner of the "LIill Farm adjoining
Charlcstown, has given increased
evidence of his thorough progressive
spirit in various ways. Young trees
have been planted along all his out
side fences, a large portion of his
fencing whitcwashed and a good deal
of new fencing put up. His latest
strike is toward the culture of fish
for his private use-though he says
he may permit a hungry editor to cast
a line on his premises once in a while.
TO this end he has protected the
banks of the creek running through
his beautiful meadow with willow
piles, and proposes to have his large
pond decpcncd and arranged for the
constant passage of running water
through it, and otherwise prepared
for the culture of the German carp.
Mr.. II. II. Cooke also proposes to
begin, shortly, the culture of carp in
his fine pond just below Mr.. Colston's,
which he has recently very much i'm
proved.

nounce the death of Mr.. HENRY w.
CAsTLEN4N, at his home in this coun-
ty, on Wednesday last, June 10. On
the Saturday preceding, Decoration
Day, he was present at the Cemetery
here, taking part in the floral tribute
to the soldier dead, and on Friday last
he was laid there to rest: Though
not an active c%ombatant, he we'll de-
serves a resting place among the
heroic dead. His house during the
war was the home of the homeless,
hungry aud destitute soldier, and the
royal welcome he accorded each and
all, and the good cheer he admins
tered calls for mention and recogni-
ton at the hand of the living, and we
hope and believe will receive its full re-
ward in that land beyond the grave
the noble commendation "inasmuch
as we have done il unto one of the
least of these ye have done it unto
me-" He was naturally of a bright
and cheerful temperament, and never
failed to impart his own feelings to
those around him. He was exceed
ingly kind and hospitable, a model
Old Yirginian in his home, and the
large gathered around his
grave bore ample testimony to the
esteem in which he was held not only
by his neighbors and friends, but by
all who knew him. We sympathize
with his family and friends in their
great loss.

THE PHILLIPS CASE,
Argument Begun in the Criminal
Court.

Argument Begun in the Criminal
Court.
The Criminal Court Judge Macarthur,
presiding, convened this morning to hear
the arguments in the Phillips-Shober homi.
eide case.
William II. Phillips, the prisoner on trial
for manslaughter in killing brother typo,
James +. Shober, is n rather good looking
young man of about 80 years He is bru-
notte, and was neatly dressed in fine
black broadcoth suit. lie looked n little
haggard this morning. All the surround.
ipgs were calculated TO make accuseds II.
berty desirable to him. He sat at the couu-
sci table behind his attorneys, Senator But.
Ter OF South Carolina and Mr.. Campbell
Darlington Of this city. His aged mother
and young lady friend sat at his side, and
the courtroom was filled with sunshine.
District Attorney Worthington presented
himself before the Jury to convince then
that the prisoner was guilty of the charge.
He began by saying that he objected to one
Of the prayers of defendants counsel ask
ing the Court to instruct that he could not
nreuo that there was any deliberate design
to Kill. Tho Court said that deliberate
design 70 Kill Is absent from tho charge OF
manslaughter The prayer was granted
He was allowed to argue that there was
design TO bring on the difficulty that re.
suited in the death of Shobor. Mr.. Worth.
inRton said that the jury could be in no
doubt as to the death of Shober and that
he was shot and killed by the accused. He
further said that ordinarily this would be
murder, but in view of the threats of de.
ceased and his demeanor towards the dc.
fendant, only u charge of manslaughtor
was brought.
Ilo remarked that there was failure of
the defendant to show that the threats Of
the deceased were ever communicated to
him (the accused). The case must be con
sidered as if the threats were never made
he also laid stress on the fact that Shober
bad no weapon and Phillips could not take
shelter behind the law of self-defense.
Mr., Campbell Darlington, for the accused,
followed Mr.. Worthington, His speech in
the defense OF the accused was pronounced
the most eloquent and powerful address
that has been made before jury here since
Colonel Ingersoll's peroration in the Star
route trial
