(PAINFUL ACCIDENTS.

On Friday last, Mr.. Thomas Harten, an elder
ly gentleman living near the Pinckney road,
about five miles southwest of town, was en-
gagged in moving some driftwood from creek
On his farm. He was in the stream, gathering
up the debris that had been deposited along the
creek by the freshets of last summer, and after
finishing the work attempted to leave the creek
by climbing rough bank of some ascent, and
when about half way up the bank he lost his
support and fell backward, breaking his thigh.
DR.. w. G. White was summoned and rendered
the necessary surgical attention.
On Sunday afternoon our townsman, MIR. j.
Ed. Jefferys, met with painful accident. In
company with friend he walked across from
his house to the new residence being erected
near Major Hart's by Mr.. J. A. Watson. His
companion proposed to 60 up into the attic by
means of ladder, and he went up safely, when
Mr.. Jefferys started, but when about half way
the length Of the ladder rung broke and he
fell down in nearly perpendicular line, his left
arm catching over the rung Immediately under
the broken one, which had the effect of sprain-
ing the shoulder and seriously confusing the
side. He, too, is an elderly gentleman, and it
was first thought that he was seriously hurt;
but DR.. r. Andral Bratton, his attending ply
sician, informs us that he doing very well.

The bloom on her soft cheek had faded,
All sallow and wan was her face,
Chill and fever her young days had shaded,
And her form lost it's litheness and grace.
She took Kuykendars Chill Pills, and duly
The rose on her cheek bloomed again,
And she says to all people, quite truly,
That doubt they need not entertain
Of the efficacy of Kuykendal's Chill Pills.
They not only stop the Chills, but they act
On the liver, tone up the sluggish system, give
Vigorous appetite and make new, rich and

THE ANARCHISTS To HANG.

The trial and conviction, in the Chicago
Criminal Court, of the Anarchists, Spies,
Parsons, Fielden, Schwab, Engel, Fischer,
Lingg and Neebe, the verdict of the jury
being that all except Neebe should be
hanged, and that he should suffer imprison-
ment for fifteen years, is one of the most
notable criminal cases of recent date. Be-
ing members of society or organization
the avowed objects of which are antagonist
ic to capital and the moneyed interest of the
country, these men-all foreigners, but OF
more than average intelligence-incited a
riot in the public streets of Chicago, during
which bomb was thrown in an assemblage
of people, consisting of peace officers and
innocent persons, some thirty Of whom
were killed and several seriously wounded.
After trial of several weeks, with the re-
suit indicated above, motion was made by
counsel of the accused for new trial in the
cases of those convicted of murder. On
Thursday last, Judge Gary overruled the
motion and confirmed the verdict Of the
jury. The usual question was then put to
the prisoners, why sentence of death should
not be pronounced against them, and each
replied, some making address of consider
able length, and thus occupying the time OF
the Court until Saturday afternoon. The
burden of the remarks of the prisoners was
complaint that they did not have fair
trial; that the Court was organized to con-
vict; that the prosecuting attorneys were
bounded on by a mob seeking the blood of
innocent men. They all inveighed against
the oppression of the laboring classes by the
rich employers, and each one avowed his
readiness and willingness to die for the
principles they entertained, though they
denied even instigating the throwing of the
deadly bomb that caused so much destruc-
tion to human life. The Judge sentenced
them to be hanged on the 3rd of December.

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST IN SPARTAN
BURG.-The Spartanburg CORRESPONDENT of
the NeaUs and Courier writes to that paper
of last Saturday:
The Senatorial sguabble is disturbing
factor in our county, pending the appeal
which is to be heard on the 18th infant. The
friends of DR.. Smith are very anxious for
him to be the next Senator, and while he
says that he will submit to the decision of
ILo o1yynrGn
to his claims, still there is a strong talk OF
running him as an Independent if Wofford
should be declared the nominee Of the DEM
ocratic party.
There are many persons in our county who
think the better plan is to have no nomi-
nations, but let all officers be selected in the
general election. They say that was the
old ante bellum way and it was good enough:
That class, together with all the defeated
candidates, whose heads are sore, and all
who incline to Radicalism, are ready for
any sort of political upheaval. Our wisest
men cannot see how the Senatorial matter
will be settled.

A SENSATION IN CLAY HILL.
A letter from the Clay Hill section of this
county, informs us that on last Friday night,
about three miles from Clay Hill, Mr. Haw-

what they thought to be evidences of murder.
Stopping their wagon, they examined the sur
