Capt. James Lewis Mccullough, we'll
known and highly respected citizen of Will
liamston, died at his residence there on
Friday night, after al illness of several
months from dropsy of the heart. lie was
ON honorable, upright gentleman, who
commanded the confidence and esteem OF
those who were acquainted with him.
The Greenvillc Ne,cs, speaking of his death,
says:
Captain Mccullough was native Of this
County and had lived in it and Anderson
all his life. He engaged in merchandising
and farming successfully and was prosper
Gus and IN comfortable circumstances.
When tho war began he was cadet OF the
citadel academy, but he volunteered US a
private. He was offered position as com.
missioned officer but declined to accept it,
believing himself to be too young to assume
such responsibility. He went III the ranks
and was brave and honored soldier, be-
coming at last adjutant of the regiment
and doing good service in that position.
Since the war he has been patriotic and
public spirited citizen, always ready to DO
his full duty and make any sacrifice for his
State and people, and ha. the confidence, re-
spect and gOod will of every community
where he was known. He leaves widow,
who was Miss Epps, Of Laurens, anu live
children.
Capt. McCullough's remains were inter-
red in the family cemetery on the place of
Col. James Mccullough, in Greenville
County.

Crushed to Death.

The Atlanta Constitution, Of tho 22nd
inst, contains the following account of
tho terrible fate of Moses Chamblce, an
aged colorcd man who was we'll known
around Anderson as carpenter:

lima darkey, was crushed to death on the
Georgia Road track near the Bell street

Atlanta has been hunting for work. He
was about Is years of age. His age was
against him, and he found it hard to OBJ

left his son-in-law's house and came into
town TO hunt work again. His effort
proved useless, as it had frequently before,
and about ten o'clock lie started home.

The old man, it appears, did not hear the

fatal one, for just at that instant the cal

strength to paricularize about TIE men-
bers of their households, the enjoyable
intercourse, and the great kindness of

we thought of the kindness Of my people
in giving me vacation.
We must notice more particularly,
however, our visit to Mrs. Ransom, the
mother of Rev. A. Ransom, D. D., one of
my best and most reliable friends. She
and her son William, two daughters and
granddaughter, live together, live well
and pleasantly. Mr.. r. is very venerable
in his appearance, and reminds me at
once, in his movements and in appear
ance, of his brother. Except his depth in
theology, he has naturally the mind,
common sense, and the originality of the

with naturally scientific and mathemat-
ical mind. 1 remember their father when

certain points, spending often half the

to see her so erect, full Of lille and quick
on her feet as if jnst out of her teens.
Though an invalid myself, wo have so
much gallantry and profound respect for
the aged, proposed TO assist her to tho
dinner table Laughing heartily, she
briskly led the way and left mo bohind
to walk with the other members OF the
household. This, however, is only the
attractive foliage about the life which is
so beautiful in the light OF Gods counte-

peace with God. 1t has its root i'll hope,
and faith which enters into that within

Another Outrage.

A most atroci0us outrage was commit
ted OH Mr.. S. l.. Gray's plantation last
Thursday night. z party Of four men
went to the house of q colored man
named John Reed. who is tenant of
Mr.. S. L. Gray's, and broke into his
house, hunting for him, for the avowcd
purpose of killing him. Fortunately lie
Was not at home, and the assailants had
to content themselves with running his
wife and children out OF doors in their
night clothes. From Reeds house the
band went to the house Of James r. Hix,
a white tenant on Gray's place, and called
for him. Hix raised his window, and
Immediately one or more shots were
fired, one Of which struck and imbedded
itself in tho window sill, just below
Hix's body. An elevation of lew in
ches would have killed him. HiX, Of
course, Immediately shut his window,
and the party, fearing detection or for
some other cause, left his house, and as
they passed the road in front of Gray's,
fired at his house, the shot striking the
roof, which is low. On Friday warrants
were issued by Trial Justice Featherstone
for James Bowen, a son of Mr.. w. ].
Bowen, - Elrod, and two young mon
by the name of Moorehead, from Hart
County, Georgia, one of whom is SON.
in-law of Mr.. Bowen. All of tho parties
accused Of these outragos arc white, and
none Of them can be found in the County,
except Elrod, who was arrested, and
after preliminary examination was COM
mitted to Jail in default Of bail to await
his trial in the Circuit Court. OF course
we do not wish to express any opinion as
to the guilt or innocence Of tho parties
accused of this outrage, but wo must, in
the most emphatic manner, denounco the
preparation of these outrages, and in
sist that the guilty parties if possible, be
ferreted out and punished to tho fullest
cxtont of tho law Such a state of Society
should not for one instant be tolerated in
Anderson County. Tho peace and good
order of our County is endangered, as
we'll rs tho lives of the persons thus at
tackled, by such outrages. There should
be no trifling with such case as this on
the part of the officers of the law. The
parties accused of such crimes should be
arrested and forced to clear themselves of
the charge, or pay the penalty of the act
if convicted. 1t will not do simply to
run them out of Anderson County. The
aid of the Governor should he invoked,
and requsition sent to bring them back.
The safety OF our homes and Of oul FAM
lilies requires that would-bc assassins
should be brought to the bar of justice.
