Takes His Own Life.

Takes His Own Life.
NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-William j. Higgins,
employed in the saloon of Thomas Eustace,
No. 125 Water street, was bitten in the arm
by dog six months ago. The wound was
severe and caused him much incon-
venience and good deal of fright. The
idea that he would 60 mad possessed him.
He drowned the dog, but that did not allay
his fears. Last evening Higgins sat by the
stove talking with three men. AS if casually,
he got up and went out of the door into the
street. The men by the stove heard three
shots. fired in quick succession, and sup
posed that Higgins was shooting dog out
side. 1t was found however, that he had
shot himself twice in the breast, near the
heart, and in the back of the head with a
Colts 32caliber pistol. He died almost

they are willing to reduce individual +, nts

decline to recognize the League.

OBITUARY..

The visit Of death is always sad; but,
when 1t occurs again and again, it is
more than trcbly so. And such is the
case Of the deaths Of Mrs. Mary Amelia
Sigh, which occurred ON the 2:th OF Oc-
tobcr last, of Mrs. Sarah Henrietta
Brooks, on the 9th Of November last.
and Of Mrs. Jane Caroline Lane, on the
10Th of May last. These dear ladies
were the daughters Of Mr.. George Bur-
der BooZcr, and the wives respectively
OF Mr.. Albert G.. Sigh, Mr.. Preston S.
Brooks, and Mr.. George G. Lane. Mrs.
Sligh was 81 years, II months and day
old; Mrs; Lane was 81 years, s mouths
and 2G days old; Mrs. Brooks was sc
years, months, and days old. Mrs.
Sigh was the mother Of six children, Of
whom five survive her; Mrs. Brooks was
the mother Of seven Of whom three sur
vive her; Mrs. Lane never had any chill
drcn. They filled, faithfully, the posi-
tons OF daughter, sister, wife. friend,
and two OF them Of mother. They were
members of the Presbyterian Church;
but few years before her death, Mrs
Sligh Joined the Lutheran Church with
her husband. For amiability OF charac-
ter, purity Of motives, and progrcSsivc-
ness OF picty, they could scarcely he en-
cellcd. There can hardly be doubt
CnaC tnclf names were "Writtcn in the
Lambs book Of lifc," and that their re-
deemed spirits are now in glory. They
leave behind them to mourn their con-
tinucd absence, an aged father, a loving
sister and brother, many friends, each
of them husband, and two Of them
precious children.
blessed are the dead which die i'm the
Lord, from hrnccforth, yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their
labors, and their works do followthcm."

1t In Cheeky.

Last week we copied from the Press

Nowbcrry and signed X, which whilst
speaking highly OF Judge Cothran-
may well be construed by the friends Of
the other candidates to be n covert at
tack on them. or this article the HER
AID AND NEWS says:
"Thc above appeared In the Abbcville
Press and Banner last week and we
took the trouble to find out the author;
who Is the Hon. Is. o. Duncan. We
think this one OF the greatest pieces Of
cheek we have ever seen.
Mr.. Duncan Is q native Of Ncwbcrry
County who remained in Europe during
fcdcratc cause, who returned and mar
shalling the negroes, joined in the Rad
ical convention Of siXty-cight, put that
horrible regime over our people, accept
cd office from Grant rs his reward, and
kept 1t until removed by Arthur, and is
now trying to insinuate himself in re-
spectacle political associations by attack
ing the men who rcscurcd this country
from him and his colleagues in seventy
SIX"
Now We do think this is the very
height Of audacity. by what right
does Mr.. B. Odell Duncan assume to say
anything about n Democratic Congress
sional race. He Is a Republican. Was
one In the worst days of Republicanlsm
in this State. And the less he says even
by implication against such men rs
Lpscomb, Bcnct, Johnstonc and Simp-
son tho more regard will the people have
for his good sense. We have no doubt
that the time has always been "past for
old war horses" in Mr.. Duncan's opin-
ion. lie didn't take any stock in them
even in war times But we arc sur
prised that he should think the time
gone by for "spoilsmen." lie didn't
think so In 1868 when he Joined the
Radical party, nor during all the years
he held Office therein.

man to undertake to interfere in Demo-
cratic Affairs ~A6berHle Messenger.

GRADED HCHOOLA.

The communication from "Carolina"
in another column, in the interest of the
graded school proposed by the HERALD
AND NEWS, shows that one Of our citi-
zcns ut least, is willing to aid in this i'm
portant enterprise. Let us hear from
others. We find that the graded schools
OF Columbia were kept open for a full
term OF nine school months for $l1, ,97O.-
%, which was expended as follows:
Salaries Of superintendent and teach
crs $1,000. Insurance, fuel, printing,
&C., $90S.3i. School furniture account
$595.30, library account 800, interest ac-
count $S7.j7, sundrics $57S.
There were no white and 654 colorcd
children enrolled and an average attend
ancc OF d25 white and 344 colorcd, cost
ing the city $l73 per month for each Of
the nine months. During this time 595
Others were benefited to some extent
by being present q portion OF the time.
This you will see is giving the children
superior educational advantages at a
very small cost This Is done in Colum-
bia by levying an extra school tax of
two mills, and we have no doubt that it
can be done in Ncwberry. An net will
have to be passed authorizing the town
council to order All election, and il the
tax is voted the school may be opened.
The female academy could be used, and
Capt. Pifer could be made superintcn-
dant, and with a little effort, all the ar
rangements made to give the enterprise
solid foundation and Il good beginning.
We must have the graded school in
successful operation by the opening Of
the new year, September 1887.

THE CONVENTION.

The county Democratic convention on
last Saturday was characterized by the
harmony which prevailed throughout
tho whole OF the proceedings. Tho con-
vcntion had met to rcorganize, to de-
eide the question Of primary or conven-
tlon, to elect delegates to Seneca, and to
decide whether they would elect dele
gates to the State convention. These
questions were fully discussed and cted
upon with marked unanimity. The con-
vcntion decided in favor of primary for
Congress, and to vote by primary for
delegates in this county in the event
that the convention at Seneca refuse to
adopt the primary. 1t elected delegates
to Seneca to carry out the wishes of the
county as to primary for Congress, post
poncd the election Of delegates to the
State convention to another day, and
adjourned sine die. The work OF the
convention was we'll and promptly done.
They carried out the suggestion OF the
HERALD AND NEWS, except that they
did not recommend the primary for the
nomination Of State officers, and author
izc the new county executive committee
to arrange meetings for the candidates
in order to have them express them
selves on the leading questions of the
day, some Of which we enumerated in
our last issue, before delegates arc
chosen to elect candidates for State and
Congressional offices. 1t Is not too late
yet to ask that this be done. SO speak
out and let us have the candidates be-
fore the people OF Newberry. The rcso-
luton which was offered and withdrawn
until the next convention, asking that
trial justices be nominated by primary
election is worthy OF consideration, but
we would suggest that the representa-
tivcs from Newberry County be in
structcd to use their influence to have
the law changed so as to enable the peo-
pie to clcctall offlccrs-mastcrs, auditors,
trcasurcrs, supervisors, trial justices,
and all officers now appointed by the
Governor
