Effects of No License.

A most thoughtful and careful obscr-
yer. a citizen Of Oconec County, says
that Pickens County certainly. is the
best example in the United States OF tile
good effects of no license system. He
knew so many men in this county that
had quit the use of whiskey entlrly,
since its sale had beea-for5idden by lazy,
and however great may have been the
trial to them as individuals, they no
doubt rejoiced in the change.
We are not so well prepered to speak
IN regard to the other towns in this
county, but under the license law, the
streets of this town used to echo with
profanity from the lips of men who call
ed themselves gentlemen; but now If
there is one such, it is said to his credit,
that he is heartily ashamed every time
he makes the mistake.
Those in the country who arc stlll
obliged, from habit. to use little
whisk, gracefully submit to the lncon-
venience and trouble necessary to pro-
cure it, for the sake of having snares and
pitfalls removed from the youthful and
the unwary. Viewed in a social, moral.
political or religious light, how infinitely
preferable is this, to what we mere
wont to endure. c.-Pickens Sentinel, 10th

1.-THE Hermit of the Swamp"

READING, PA, June lG.-a strange
character was found dead in swamp in
this County to-day. His name was
John J. Prcsscr, and he had lived the
life of hermit there for great many
years. He was evidently seized with a
fit, and, falling into the mud, was
smothered to death. He was very &C.
centric in his ways, and frequently re-
manned hidden in his hut for many
weeks. He was looked upon as miscr,
and upon his body was found sS4O in
gold, currency and notes, and it's be-
licved that a great deal more is buried ii
out-of-the-way places in the swamp
where he had made his home. He re-
ceived regular allowance to a consider
able amount, but never spent Sl5 year
on himself. He never shaved nor had
his hair cut, and was an unpleasant OBJ
ject to behold. his hair being several
feet long. lie fled at the approach of
females, and had many ecccntrictlcs.
He vas also 4 man Of considerable cdu-
cation. but where he came from will

Hon. Timothy J. Campbell and Hon.
Tom Ochlltree (who: by the way, says
he proposes to run the next time for
Congress as a Democrat from one OF
the city districts, instead Of from his old
district in Texas,) were in a group of
diners at the Carlton Club last evening.
After Tim had concluded the recital Of
his latest experience in Washington lite,

cd an inquiring glance upon Tom
Ochiltree, as he asked in the next
breath: do you know Smalls, of
South Carolina:" YES" was the
reply. ''What sort Of a fellow is he.
anyway 2" innoccntly asked Tim. "Oh,
Smalls is worth about Sl.SOO Oh the

Dead Fish.

Great multitudes OF fish have recently
been found dead in the waters OF Shall
lotte river. Brunswick county, North
Carolina. The river empties into Tubb's
inlet from the ocean, about thirty miles
southwest Of Wilmington. The water
is covered with an oily scum which en-
tends far out into the ocean, and has
been noticed five miles from the beach.
This oily scum, which is supposed TO
have caused the mortality among the
fish cannot be accounted for, though
some suppose that vessel with Il cargo
Of oil had foundcrcd in the ncighbor-
hood. The wind seems to have no effect
upon the oily water, and the surface is
as smooth rs glass. The dead fish arc
drifting up on the shore by thousands
Of barrels, and are of all kinds ever seen
in the vicinity, except the whale. 1t is
supposed that there arc no Ike fish lett
in Shallotta river. o. within ten miles Of
its mouth. There is great excitement
over the affair. though no one has ever
thought Of the probability that there is
oil territory in the vicinity. and that an
unknown oil spring has found its way TO
the surface of the ground.

baby was found in the we'll on q tene-
ment house on Mr.. J. 2. POOLS place in
town this morning. Suspicion rested
on Worthy Williams, negro girl who
lived in the neighborhood and was sup

some days ago. The Coroner summoned
a jury aud began the investigation,
which ended this afternoon with the
verdict that the infant came to its death

ment, saying that on last Saturday eve
ming, about dark, she gave birth to a
child. that the child was dead, and that
one Lou Harris took 1t away in a cigar
box, and that was the last she saw of it.
Lou was arrested, but discharged. The

drinking and cooking from this well.
The woman was committed to Jail to

Old Marrles a Girl of Fourteen.
New LONDON, Conn, June co.
Considerable Of a sensation has been
caused by the marriage of Daddy Weeks,
aged seventy-fve. to Sissy Brown. a
fourteen-year-old girl, who is wearing
her first long dress. The parents Of
the girl allege that they eXerted proper
care and showed their affection by re-
iecting Weeks suit two years ago.
When the marriage was first heard of:
the hoodlums turned out IN force and
made q great racket with horns and
drums. Captain Brown. Sissy's father,
was once in command Of vessels plying
on the Sound, and was the skipper of
the lll-fated steamer City of New Lon
don when she burned and sunk in the
Thames River near Moptville. There
was a rumor that Captain Brown was
made agreeable to the marriage by a
pecunlary consideration and that old
Weeks promised Mrs. Brown 500 and
a piano to secure her good offices, but
had not made payment. Leonard Car
roll, the local agent of the Hamane So
ciety of Connecticut, heard this rumor,
and this afternoon he investigated the
story. lie took the sense of the neigh
borhood on the matter aud then sought
the young wife and questioned her under
oath. She denied that any compulslon
had been used and insisted that Daddy
was the man of her choce. She thought
he was kind old man and people said
he had property. Everything is all
right so far" she said, 'and people had
better keep their noses out of other
peoples business" The girl is quite
attractive and fairly intelligent for her
years. She hardly looks as old as she
is. The clergyman who married them
is himself an old man and much respect
ed in the town. Daddy and Sissy have
gone to housekeeping.

A NATURAL HIGHWAY.
Wants Our Narrow Gauge to Go to
Or..ngcburg.

o.
MERRITT's BRIDGE, S. c., June
16.--I would like to have your say-so
abont$,a Railroad from Johnston to
Orangeburg. Will the Greenville.
Nlnety-Six and Johnston Narrow Gauge
extend the line to Orangeburg? There
never was more perfect natural route
than this one for building Railroad.
From Edisto to Johnston, a distance OF
16s set. IS miles, not more than 2 or 8
miles would require grading-the bal
ance of the distance nothing to do but
bedGthe road. The or 8 miles Of grad
inc would not be heavy work. The
River never gets more than 4 feet out
of stslie banks. From the river to the
Ninety-Six dirt-road-7 miles, which
could be shortened to G-there would be
grading, but not heavy grading. Along
the. SNinety-Six dirt-road for 30 miles
there would be little to do but bed the
road. Two or three miles would cover
all the gradinr along this road to
Orangeburg. The Road would run
through the best farming country be-
tween North and South Edlstos, and
we'll timbered. I have no doubt the
Townships through which 1t would run,
would raise money enough by taxation
to grade and timber the Road through
retrospective Townships. l lave never
vet found a man that would not lie will
Ing Ito do his part. I have been SUR
veyor for over forty-fivc years. and
know all this country, and would take
pleasure in showing an engineer what
the! God of Nature has done to aid in
this:work. The Road would help your
town and our County. Please let me
hearz, from you. If you think there is
anFfhing in this letter that would be of
any benefit to you in stirring up the
matter you are at liberty to do with 1t
as you think best. Respectfully,
w. E.SAwYER.
We thought we could make no better
disposition of our friends letter than by
giving it a place in our columns for the
information and consideration of our
Railroad men, who are always on the
lookout, for new worlds 10 conquer in
that direction. But we would say for
the Information Of the writer above COM
munication, who may not be aware OF
the fact, that the Road to which he al
ludes isibeing extended to Augusta, the
survey between that city and Johnston
being ,abouteompleted, and the grading
coptfNtedS for and already commenced.
We believe it was the original intention
of the ptoiectors of this line to r,tn from
JohnstblI to Orangeburg, or to some
point oristhe other branch of the S. C..
iRailrssd, or to some point on the coast,

point was necessary to the success of
the enterprise. If the present survey is
built and successfully operated, as we
believe it will he, the extension of the

only question Of time. And possibly
the time is not far d;stant.--Johnston
