A dispatch from London OF the Gath
says: The queen left Buckingham palace
at 4:30 o'clock for drive. She was &C
companied by Princess Beatrice. They
went in an open carriage to Hyde Park,
and everywhere were cheered by crowds oil
people. Among the crowd was a man in
shabby clothes and wearing a SLOUGH hat.
He appeared to be much agitated, and ell
bowed his way to the edge OF the assem-
blage. When the royal turnout reached
point opposite him he threw some
thing into the carriage. Great ex'
element followed and hs was quick.
Iy taken into custody and hur.
ried from the scene. 1t was subsequently
learned that the article was only piece oil
paper. When the queen noticed her assail.
ants approach she shrank back from him
into the carriage and Princess Beatrice
leaned forward for the purpose OF shielding
the queen from any attack that might be
made upon her The prisoner proved to be
a discharged soldier. He is mentally de
ranged. He went without q struggle
to the police station where he was
locked up. The paper which he threw into
the carriage contained nothing more than
a petition for redress for personal griev.
ance under which he believes he is suffering.
His name is Charles Brown and his age &
forty years. He was twice discharged from
the army in India and has been confined in

Mr.. EDITOR Some of us are greatly
panied by report that there will be an
effort made to run the trains on the Sa.
vannah Valley Railroad on the Sabbath.
Is it possible? Are we as a people COM
ing to this? Is it any wonder that we
have storms and drouths and floods ?
The only wonder is, that we, as a people,
are not consumed. If this is the Rail-
road we are to have, I for one land am
not alone) say we had ten thousand times
better have no Road. It is time to call a
halt. To think that our own people are
indirectly aiding the scum of Europe in
breaking down our Sabbath, is too terri
BILE. If this is done, it will be an insult
to Almighty God, and an outrage on His
people. W. A. HODGES.

Mr.. EDITOR Please request Executive
Committees of Democratic Clubs to formu-
late questions to aspirants for County Conf
missioners, explaining when and why our
County became involved in debt? l am
told we owe from $4,000 to $4,000, and the
late freshets will increase it-say about to
81, 900 or $4,000. A day or so since gen.
tleman said he had claims on our County,
regularly approved, which he hoped to sell
for 80 cents on the dollar, but because of
the debt of our County he could get but 80
to IS cents. Is this not too bad for the
yeomanry of our once solvent County to
toll and sweat with hard blows to earn q
dollar and sell it for so cents? The reasons
why can and will be fully explained by
those who know-candidates both of for
mer boards and the present incumbents.

DIED, on the 9th inst, Mrs. j. L. FAINT.
Mrs. FAINT has been almost constant suf-
ferer for eighteen years. She has been
for number of years connected with the
Baptist Church in this place, and has
lived an exemplary and devout life show
ing all those Christian graces of true fol-
lower of our Saviour. She leaves fam
lily of six children to mourn her loss !;
and great loss it is, for there is no one
that can fill the place Of q good mother.
She was patient in her suffering, never
murmuring nor complaining against the
will Of an All-Wise Providence. "Bless.
ed are those who die in the Lord" May
the Lord watch over her orphaned chill
dren, and lead them gently and tenderly
through this world Of sorrow and care.
May each and every one with whom they
come in contact have a kind word for
them, and help them to- bear their loss.

SlMrsoN's MILLS, August s. 1886.
Mr.. EDITOR: Pursuant to call of few
of the landowners OH Six and Twenty
Creek, number of them met at this place.
The object of the meeting was to consider
the propriety of blasting out the shoals at
the lower end of Mr.. A. B. Bowden's bot
toms. Mr.. P. r. Brown was called to the
chair, and w. T. McGill was requested to
act as Secretary. The object of. the meet
ing was stated by the Chairman. Mr.. Jos.
w. Major was called on to make some re-
marks in regard to the full benefit that
could be gained by blasting out this shoal.
Mr.. Major stated that he with Mr.. Joseph
Bowden and Mr.. McWhorter, had exam
ined the shoal and thought that between
three or four feet fall could be obtained at
small cost to all interested. Mr.. Bowden
and Mr.. McWhorter stated that they
thought the creek could be thoroughly
drained if this shoal was taken out. They
thought that with one hundred and fifty
dollars about three feet fall or more would
be obtained. After some remarks by the
Chairman and others, all present were con-
vinced that the bottom land on Six and
Twenty Creek could be dried. Some of
these lands are so wet that q cow cannot
walk through them, and is as fine as any
bottom land in the County. On motion it
was agreed to 60 into permanent organi-
zation. The following officers were elect.
ed: President ]. W. Major; Treasurer, P.
R. Brown; Secretary, w. T. McGill. This
organization proposes to go to work at once.
A committee consisting of P. R. Brown,
W. T. McGill, w. A. G. McWhorter, Jos.
W. Major, J. H. Hutchinson, Joseph w.
Ashley and DR.. ]. g. Duckworth, was ap-
pointed to raise funds to blast out the
shoals. This committee is to report at
meeting to be held at Simpsons mills on
Saturday, the. 18th inst, at 8 o'clock o. M,
at which meeting committee will be ap.
pointed to superintend the blasting, and to
make arrangements to remove all obstruc-
ton from the creek. All persons who arc
interested in this matter are earnestly re-
quested to be present at this meeting.
Also bids are requested from anyone who
has had experience in blasting to take the
job either by contract or by the day.

On Tuesday, srd inst, Mr.. ]. B. Whit
ten, well-known citizen of Garvin Town
sb p, met with terrible accident. He
was at work at Mr.. l.. A. Watkins saw
mill, and crawled into the pit under the
saw to clean it out. The saw was run
ring slowly, and he raised his head and
struck it. A piece of skull two inches
long by an inch wide was sawed out of
his head instantly. He came out without
assistance, and when carried home got
out of the buggy and walked into his
house, having with his own hands pulled
several small fragments of skull bone
away from the wound. Physicians we're
promptly summoned, and everything
possible was done for him. Our latest in
formation is that he is doing well, and the
physicians are hopeful of his recovery.
a very noval affair has occurred at
Lowndesville in Abbeville County. A
Mr.. J. T. Latimer had a colorod girl in his
employ named Lucy McIntoch, who was
apprenticed to him until she was twenty
one years old, under an indenture execut-
ed in 1882. The girl is thirtsen years old.
The apprentice was courted by colored
youth named John Patterson. Mr.. Lati-
mer was opposed to the girl marrying SO
young. The couple eloped and were mar
ried by Trial Justice Mosely, who had the
consent of the girls mother. AS soon as
Mr.. Latimer heard Of the marriage he de-
termined to enforce the law. The young
husband was arrested by a.warrant of
Trial Justice Ransom for abduction. An
investigation ensued. The abduction was
denied, it being alleged that the girl met
the boy on the road and went thence to
the officiating justice. Justice Ransom de-
cided that it was case of abduction and
required bond of 5000 from Patterson to
await trial. He then told Lucy she was
no longer the wife of Patterson, because
she was only thirteen years old and could
not lawfully marry, and turned her over
to Mr.. Latimer. The case has excited no
little comment.
