liam Barrow and Thomas Z. Shannon
Late that evening,-about dark, o,
just after dark,-these gentlemen.
when en-route home, and about six
miles from Manning, got into diff
Guilty in which the former was shot
and instantly killed by the latter.
Mr. Shannon after going home re-
turned to Manning that night, and
early Thursday morning surrendered
himself to the Sheriff, voluntary,
claiming that the shooting was dore
in lf-defence
FEsrvn.-At Lanes, on the 10th
inst, an ice cream festival will be CIV
en- for the purpose of raising funds to
build Baptist Church. Besides the
delicious cream, cakes and substan-
tials in abundance, will be served by
charming young ladies.
The P1c-N1c.-We regret that we
were unable to attend the picnic on
last Friday, which was gotten up by
Misses. Ingram and Ewell for the ben
eft of their scholars. a friend in
speaking of it says: 'sNNe went to the
s:picnic, which was held at Capt. John
y. Harvin's, enjoyed ourselves until
"dinner, did full justice to that, en-
'joved ourselves some more, and then
''came home, having spent a delight
sfal day"
PRUSISG.-This is a good time to
prune small shade trees and fruit
trees. Do the work now with sharp
knife, or other sharp instrument, while
the limbs are small ana the trees are
growing, and the places from which
the limbs are cut will heal over before
fall and leave no scars. Leaving
limbs or trees until they get so large
that they have to be removed with
the saw or hatchet, creates in their
removal, scars, and scars from which
the trees do not generally recover. 4
tree diseased from this cause is also
much more liable to be attacked by
worms and borers.
REMOVED.
Our Sheriff, under reliable and au-
tholitative information that the friends
of AIr. VIM. Barrow; the mention Of
whose death is made in this issue,
would visit the jail on Sunday night
and take therefrom Mr.. Thomas Shan
non, after consulting his attorney, de-
cided to remove 3Ir Shannon to the
Jail of a neighborinS county. The
Sherif"s action was entirely proper,
for had he not done this, and raid
had been made, he would have pro-
tected Mr.. Shannon at perhaps the
cost of life, and the course adopted
was the most prudent We hope that
the information was based only on
wild rumor, Gas We believe it was> for
our Salem friends are, we have every
reason to believe, too law abiding to
attempt anything Of this kind. Mob
law can no longer be practiced with
in this State, aud there is
never any Justification for it. Justice
is so fairly and impartially administer
ed that the law ought to be, and must
be allowed to take its course.

The FGEslIEr-Our streets are a
little damaged by the recent rains,
but they can soon be put in shape;
there is some mention Of washes IN
the roads, but so fa1 as we are able to
learn, bat little damage, il any, has
been done to bridges III tbs county.
In this particular we are very FORUM
ate, as in several counties the roads
have been rendered almost impassa-
bic, and numerous bridges have been
swept away Some of the farmers liv-
ing near Santee will suffer considera-

but we have no doubt but that the fu- {
