suIcide of a Portland Man,

Robert Mcclellan of Portland who has
been staying with his son at No. Prince
street, in Boston. cut his throat Saturday
morning in a fit of dependency owing to
chronic illness. The deceased was 46 years
old. Dependency induced by continued i'll

He was sailmaker by trade. His son was
awakened by noise and on investigation
found his father in a closet adjoining the
room, bleeding from large cash beneath
his chin extending nearly from ear to ear.
He had evidently done the deed but few
minutes before. Word was at once sent to

LETTER FROM CHESTER.

| CHESTER, December 6.-Ihe cOttOn crop
of this year does not compare favorably
with that of last year. 1 have CONSULTED
number of our farmers upon this subject
with the following. result: one made TO
bales last year, and AZ this year; another
made 92 bales last year, and 16 this year {;
another made "a bales last year and this
year; another made - bales last year
and this year. One of our best and larg-
est farmers in the Lowrysville neighbOr-
hood made last year 8U bales of cotton, and
% bales this year. He cultivated sandy
land which did not suit the wet weather of
the spring. Another farmer in the same
vicinity made 80 bales last year and 30 this
year. One of our largest farmers on the
western side made 156 bales last year and
80 bales this year. Another farmer made
q bales last year, and bales this year. If
necessary additional figures could be given
showing the small crop of cotton made in
this county this year. :, The yield of sandy
land is estimated to be from one-third to
three-eighths of an average crop. The
scarcity of money is not surprising con-
sdering the short crop, and the inability of
the merchants to make collections is also
not surprising. Moreover, the corn crop in
the county is very poor. The majority of
farmers will not make enough to answer
their purposes for more than three or four
months. One man who has been farming
forty years told me that he has always
made enough corn to do him until this
year, and that next year he will be COM
pelled to take advantage of the lien law to
secure his supplies. There are places in
this county where actual want is staring
the people in their faces. How many of
them are to get through the winter an
over-ruling Providence only knows.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. It. Morgan, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Paul Hemphill returned from their

THE LEGISLATURE.

The proceedings of the Legislature have
up to this date been devoid of public inter-
est, no measures of importance having been
passed in either house. Both houses are
industriously working, however, and be-
fore the 18th of the month it is fair to pre-
sumo that not less than four hundred bills
will have been introduced. The measures
which seem to be most prominent are those
of retrenchment, bills having been intro
duced for the reduction of salaries, includ-
ing the salaries of State and judicial officers.
A bill for calling State Constitutional con-
vention has been reported unfavorably.
With the legislation affecting York our
readers are already familiar. In the House
on Saturday the following was introduced
by Mr.. Stewart: Bill to authorize the
County Commissioners of York to pay GER
tain claims out of the common fund; also,
bill to abolish the sale of spirituous and
malt liquors within the town of Blacks.
In the Senate, a bill has been introduced
by Mr.. Black, requiring special election
in Broad River and Bullock's Greek town.

LETTER FROM FORT MILL.

LETTER FROM FORT MILL.
FORT MILL, December G.-Work still
progresses on the railroad bridge. Some OF
the hands declined to risk slipping off the
bridge, and are out Of job.
The river was on swell recently, heavier
rains having fallen up the country than
here the rise is variously reported at from
six to eight feet.
Mr.. J. r. Harris, about week ago, killed
wild turkey inside the corporate limits of
Fort Mill. He says it was wild one, and
nobody else has set up claim to it. This
is supplement to the fact that q covey of
quails was hatched and half reared in town,
and walked the streets, without any one to
modest or make them afraid, until the gun
ming season opened. Then they took wings
and flew away.
Cotton still continues to come in OCCASION
ally; but the amount grows smaller by de-
grees, though not beautifully less. How
er, the price is as good here as anywhere
else in the country. .'l ,...
In spite of the hard times the village con-
tinues to spread. One. or two cabins are in
course of erection, aHls the town council
have ordered a new bridge'to be built across
waterway on Main street where one is
about broken down. This is not all. Our
sister city, Rock Hill, is putting on airs and
starting a national bank; but Fort Mill is
starting a tobacco factory. Which is the bet.
ter of the two? Now is the time for men of
enterprise and capital to come to the front
and show their grit. So we ought to expect
great developments in the next year or two.
Meantime farmers, most of whom have
only enterprise without the capital, should
not allow themselves to be left behind.
They should meet and devise means where
by their deplorable condition may be bet
tered decide on better system of farming
to be pursued, and determine to raise their
own hog and hominy. By-the-way it is not
positively known what has become of the
farmers club that was ineugurated in the

interest in the common welfare is like the
religion of part of our populations hot

weather. Perhaps they do not wish to be
inveigled into any compact as to the cur
tailment of cotton planting and extension
of grain culture, nor as to the regulation OF
the rates of rent for land. However this
may be, they have ceased to meet, and the
club is a recollection of the past, 'Tis a

THE CASE OF CLUVERIUs.-Nex Friday
is the day appointed for the execution of
the death sentence on Cluverius, convicted
in the Hastings Court of Richmond, OF
the murder of his cousin, Fannie Lillian
Madison. A strong effort has been made
to secure executive clemency either by par
don or Communication of sentence to i'm
prisonment; while on the other hand the
petitions for clemency have been met by
others praying the Governor to permit the
law to take its course. On Monday last
Governor Lee received a letter from the
mother of the murdered girl, in which she
begs him to ''let the law take its course
with that wretch who has caused the fa-
ther. mother and eight brothers and SIS
tiers to see so much trouble. Only hasten
as quick as possible for the sake of other
poor mothers and innocent females. Please,
for the sake of the mother whose heart and
mind have been nearly crazed with grief
and distress, let it (meaning the Judgment
of the Court stay as it is."
The Governor has not yet made known
his intentions in the case. If he refuses to
interfere 80 far as pardon or commutatlon is
concerned, he will doubtless respite the pris-
oner so as to give him time, after the last
hope of clemency has gone, to prepare him
self for death. The city sergeant, who has
charge of the jail where Cluverius is con-
fined, called upon the Governor on Monday
to know if he should stay his preparations
for the execution, but the Governor gave
him no intimation that he would exercise
clemency in any way. If he does not Gu
verius will be hanged next Friday. An eff
fort was made also on Monday, to show the
Governor that Cluverius was at Mozart Hall
on the night of Lillian's death, but the wit
ness when asked if he would solemnly swear
he saw the prisoner at that place at the time
named, replied that he had "vague i'm,
preston of having seen him there, but could
not swear.to it,"

MISHAP AT McCONNELLSVlLLE.

MCCoNNELLsvILLE,S S. G. December c.
The snow that has been falling since Friday
night was the immediate cause Of q serious
calamity to our community. At - O'Clock
last night the store house of Williams &
Moore came downs complete wreck, dam.
aging and destroying their fine stock of
groceries and general merchandise. The
building is total wreck, being splintered
almost into kindling wood. They have this
morning saved what was not entirely de-
stroyed and stored it away in a more or less
damaged condition in the store rooms and
neighboring houses. The loss as now esti-
mated to Williams & Moore will not be less
than 81 900, and on Mr.. J. P. Moore, who
owned the building, the loss will not be
less than $1,000, the building having cost
not less to erect when times were much
easier. The whole community is sharer in
this loss, since this was the principal busi-
ness shouse of the place, and their many
friends sympathize with them in their
trouble.
We were all startled last night at flash
of lightning and peal of thunder, the first
known instance among this people of thun-
der and lightning in snow storm.
