The track-layers on the Savannah Valley
are in the midst of ONE heavy and lengthy
trestle work and their progress, as regards
covering space, is necessarily slow. The
work is being carefully and well done, and
after they cross Rocky River, near Lowndes-
vile, they will have smoother sailing and
will move along at rapid rate. "On to
Anderson" is the watch. word.-Mc Cormick

The Laurensville Herald states that
counterfeit silver dollar, or what has the
appearance of silver dollar, is in circula-
ton and the public would do we'll to keep
sharp eye to the. "dollar Of our daddies"
before taking such coin. 1t is easily de-
tected, however, especially when compared
with the genuine. The counterfeit is lighter
than the genuine and feels like polished
soapstone or lead, though it is a good imi-
tation of the silver dollar now in general
circulation.
Hardy White, colored citizen of Fort
Mill Township, in this County, is in pros
porous circumstances, and his success in
life is fair example of what any of his
race can accomplish by using the proper
means, while it also goes to show that in
the requirement of a competency the black
man has an equal chance with the white
man, and that in this County no obstacles
are thrown in the way of the colored race.
Handy was slave of the late William
White, and after emancipation he began
working on Capt. S. E. Whites land, rent

acres, for which he paid $12 per acre, and
with his family is comfortably situated,
with stock and farming implements in
abundance, running six plows, and has
cotton of last years crop on hand.-York-

Mr.. w. w. Wilson, citizen of George
town County, was accidentally shot and
killed by Mr.. William Lambert, of the
same County, on Thursday morning last in
the neighborhood of Cedar Creek, just
across the Williamsburg line. On We'd
nesday evening these gentlemen made an
engagement to 60 turkey hunting the next
morning and were to meet at designated
place. They reached there from different
directions. About daylight Mr.. Lambert
heard the gobbling of a turkey and ap-
preached as near as he could, but before he
could get an opportunity to shoot it flew
down in the opposite direction from tree
which Mr. Lambert was nearing. He
followed it and saw an object through the
bushes, which he thought was turkey, but
it was his comrade, Mr.. Wilson, crawling
on the ground trying to shoot the same
turkey. AS soon as the smoke cleared
away from his gun he looked to see if he
had killed the turkey, but to his great
horror Mr.. Wilson rose up and approached
him saying, "You have killed me, take
care of my wife and children" He had
been struck in the neck and in the side Of
the body with large shot, and the blood was
squirting from the wounds. Assisted by
Mr. Lambert he walked some distance, but
soon sank to the ground. Mr.. Lambert
hurried to the nearest house for assistance,
but on returning found Mr.. Wilson dead.
