Crushed to the Earth.

MARION, June 17.-Mr. Thomas j.
Bass, prominent citizen of this County,
living about twelve miles above this
place, was killed last evening about 6
O'Clock about half mile from his home.
According to the best information re-
ceiYed he started from home on foot to
get his mail from the postofice at Buck
Swamp about one hour before sundown,
and while walking a path through the
woods large pine, tive feet in diameter
and bent over the path, suddenly fell
lust as he was under it, killing him i'll.
stantly. When found his body was hor'
ribly mangled, and but for the fact that
his head happened not to be crushed by
the tree he would have been scarcely re-
cognized. After dark bis wife, thinking
that he was detained unusually late, sent
over to his brothers. who lives near, to
know whether he had stopped there on
his return. AS nothing bad been seen of
him, she next sent to the postoffice to
know if he had been there, but nothing
could lie learned of him. The messen.
ger on returning was told by colored
man that he had seen him at certain
point ON the path above referred TO-.
About midnight his body was found in
the position above mentioned not far
from the spot where be was last seen by
the negro. The deceased was a juror at
the term of the Sessions Court just
adjourned. The jury was discharged
Tuesday afternoon about 6 o'clock, when
he returned to his home, and about the
same time on the following evening he
was killed. FTe leaves n wife and four
small children. He was about 50 years
old.

A great deal of talk has been occ

"A great deal of talk has been occa-
stoned by the mention of the fact that
the President always used new money.
Some people laughed at the idea that he
handed a crisp new 500 bill to DR.. Sun
derland for his marriage fee, and, again,
that he put crisp new $5 bill in the col.
lection plate at the Oakland church.
People said: "Why, the President must
have money made especially for himself"
The truth is, the President always receives
new notes direct from the treasury. He
never gets old notes, except in change
when he pays bill or makes purchase.
The United States treasurer, on the last
day of each month, sends the President
his salary-S4, 1G6.66-the odd change in
bright, new silver and copper cents, and
then all new and the latest issue. Mr..
Cleveland, like his predecessors, keeps a
private bank account with Riggs & Co.,
and the day after he gets his salary he
makes n deposit, rcserving enough to pay
current expenses. 1t is said that his ac-
count has shown as large balance as
S35, 900, us he has all income besides his
official salery. Before he entered public
life lie made from $4,000 to $4,000 Il
>va:4r hy his practice, and his expenses
were rot more than $2,500. Lie has
saved much of his first years salary, but
now that he is sl,a,arried his expenses will
increase.

ment after long tutelage under proper
influences and examples, his interest as
we'll as that of the white, imperatively
demands an influx of proper white i'm.
migrants to overcome this disproportion
and to give permanent peace and pros
perity alike to the landowner and negro.
Grant the negro's defects are not
inherent. Grant there is no danger of
social degradation of the white. Grant
that with proper influence, and patent
and well directed effort, the negro wi :.
ultimately develop into distinct race
citizen, contributing at every point to
our common growth and welfare abiding
beneficial results. Still such influence
as indicated is to be secured more speedi'
ly and substantially by immigration Of
whites. This will alike arrest tendency
to destruction of the negro by conflict;
and degradation of the whites in charac.
ter, at least, by contact with the negro in
present relative numbers. AS political
factor it needs no comment to show this
tendency to corrupt the white. A pur
chaseable voter invites bribery and fraud,
which, while it fastens the negro depravi
ty upon him, tends to debauch the white.
A thriftless, dishonest laborer, working;
only under the compulsion of hunger,
invites dishonest dealing by the employer
to equalize results. These evil tendencies
should be neutralized. We must, at all
hazards, preserve the purity, integrity
and supremacy of the white race.
Had there never been any outside agi.
tation, and the conscience of the South
ever remained dormant, sooner or later
she would have awakened to, and been
appalled,, by the problem involved in the
increase of the negro even as a slave.
Sudden emancipation and enfranchise.
ment of the negro is rushing the problem
to solution, but it nevertheless existed
in slavery. The black cloud was gather
ing all the days of slavery, and has only
burst upon US with the violence of a
cyclone by sudden freedom and its sur
rounding.

That Boundary.LIne.

Mr.. Arthur Winslow, engineer, has
completed the field work of his survey of
the disputed boundary between North
Carolina and South Carolina, on the line
between Mecklenburg and Lancaster
counties. He spent three weeks in max
ing,the survey, the work being done by
direction of Capt. S. B. Alexander, of
Charlotte, the Commissioner on The part
of North Carolina. The survey was
made some years ago by the South Caro-
lima Commissioner. He made compass
survey. Mr.. Winslow's survey was what
is technically known as venier survey,
in which venier and theodolite were
used and the exact course was taken from
the stars. Numerous errors and varia.
tons were discovered in the old survey.
Tn all Mr.. Winslow went over thirty
miles Of line. The greater part of the
country is fine farming land, but near the
CatawbA River there is some land almost
mountainous in its roughness. In dis.
tance of FIVE hundred feet there are val.
leys one hundred and fifty feet in depth.
By Mr. Winslow's survey, made with the
greatest care and accuracy, he states,
about seven thousand acres of land here
tofore claimed as South Carolina terrific
ry, are part and parcel of North Carolina.
Most of the people in this territory Mr..
Winslow found to be very we'll pleased
with the change which throws them into
Mecklenburg. They are in strip of
country far from Lancaster, the county
seat of the county of that name. BY the
change of counties and States they get
within ten or twelve miles of Charlotte,
their new county seat. Of course some
of the residents in the territory do not
like 10 leave South Carolina, on account
of old associations, etc. Mr.. Winslow
will to- day begin to make. up the maps,
ETC., from his survey. The papers will
all be placed in the Governors hands.

= AT precisely IL o'clock on the night
of June 80 instant the big clock in the
Courthouse tower will toll the knell of
all the barroms in Atlanta. When the
first stroke rings out upon the air there
will be beard rafting of doors and
windows, and when the last ceases to
yibrate the barrooms will have been
closed not to be reopened for period of
at least two years. The number to be
closed is not as large as the uninformed
may imagine. Previous to July, 1884,
the average was about 100; but, after
that time, the license was raised from
$500 to $500 and the average decreased
to about 100. Since the election by
which it was decided that prohibition
should reign in town and county after
July 1, 1856, thirty barrooms have been
closed, leaving total of sixty.nine in
town 10 be tolled out of existence at
midnight on June 80. In radius of
FIVE or six blocks, with the Kimball
House as the centre. there are thirty
five barrooms. A few of these retail
nothing but beer. The majority retail
not only beer but all sorts of alcoholic
liquors.
A good many people will be dis
posed to laugh when they read Of Ger
man infantry regiments being drilled to
the use of bicycles and tricycles, but on
the good roads of Europe they might be
made very useful equipments for an
army. The soldiers could ride them in
marching order with less fatigue than
they could march and at a rate of speed
that might easily determine the fate of a
battle.

one prepared for him which has been
preserved by one of the furniture dealers
in Winnsboro.

We!notice with pleasure that the an.
nual addresses delivered this year at the
Colleges are more practical than they
have heretofore been. It is we'll some
times to theorize, but when man is
called upon to deliver an address on a
Commencement occasion to an audience
composed largely of students, male or
female, it is we'll if he say something
that will give them clearer views of life,
with its responsibilities and possibilities.
Nowadays, young men not unfrequently
leave College with very incorrect idea
of what real, life is. If the chosen
speaker at that milestone in young
mans life can throw open door that
reveals to him the bright and dark shades
of the picture of life, and impress upon
his mind the truth that with most men
life is what they make it; if he can, by
using plain English, Danish that abomi.
nable idea that an educated man must
not work, and that manual labor is be-
meath the dignity of College graduate,
then is it possible for Commencement
Grafton to result in good.
We boast of our Colleges, and we have
right to be proud of them, but, beyond
the shadow of o doubt, they have all
spoiled some mighty good farmers and
turned loose upon the world some very
sorry professional men. An education
should not take man from that vocation
in life for which nature has specially en-
dowed him. The real object is to develop
his powers, to sharpen his tools. The
speech delivered by the Hon. Mr.. Busbee
at the recent Commencement exercises
Of the Furman University was replete
with good hard sense and calculated to
set any young man to thinking, if he is
capable of thinking at all, and will only
give it a careful reading. More speeches
of that kind, and fewer on the subtle
theories that ouly perplex and disgust
young minds, would accomplish much
for the cause of education and the com.
mon good of our country.
