COMMON PLEAS,
Poison i'm a WcIE. Five Vic
TINS Buried.

The most terrible tale of distress il
has ever been our duty to record
comes from Mr. Joe Hardin's who
lives four miles north of Pickcns
Court House.
Mr.. Hardin with several others who
had been attending tho last term of
the United States Court at Charles
ton, was detained by the freshet at
Alston for q few days. Soon after
his arrival at homo he was prostratcd
by dysentely. -Four OF five OF those
who were in company with him have
been similarly afflicted. Mr.. Hardin
however is still quite sick, and while
he is unable to rise from his bed, he
sees his children fall before him, I'M
til five out of eight have been carried
TO their graves.
The first two Eliza and Louisa, 10,
and 7 years Of age died Oh tho 8, inst,
and Ola Albert and Emma, aged 6, 4
and l } years were taken off on the
following Saturday. They were sick
only q few days with something,
which at first, seemed to bo slight
attack Of dysentery,, but in short
time It would develope into n more
malignant form, and the patient
would suffer greatly until it's system
relaxed in death.
Dr.. W. j. Bramlett, who has been
most aseiduous in his attentions to
the suffering family, was called in lust
ashort time before the two first VIC
Inns died. He concluded at once
there was o local cause, which after
careful examination was found to be
in the well. The DR.. is satisfied that
i the source of all the trouble, rs it
gives forth a very unpleasant odoy, |
Indicating the decomposition of both
vegetable and animal matter None
Of the,water has been used since last
Friday. Some of it has been sent to
the State chemist to be analyzed.
Two of the children are still sick,
bu5 there is hope of their recovery |
Mrs, Hardin has watched over her
sickchildren for nearly week with
cut any sleep, and last Saturday when.

The County Democratic Convention
of Oconee met at Walhalla on Satnr-
day, the 18th instant, 4 AS the work
OF organizing commenced, two. sets of
delegates from Seneca City pesen~
ted themselves, both claiming
to be delegates to the convention from
the Seneca Club. A committee was
appointed to report on their claims,
and the question; as to which should
be admitted, came up on majority and
minority reports from the committee,
the majority being in favor of the
delegation headed by Prof. G, w.
Moore, and the minority being in fa-
vor Of Mr.. John G. Cary. The ma
jolity report was adopted by a vote
Sc to So. Immediately seven clubs
withdrew from the conventions. AT
ter tsansacting some routine business
the convention adjourned to nneet
again on the Sd day of July, by
which time it is hoped existing diff
culties may be removed.
The difficulty at Seneca seems t,
have arisen from the dissatisfaction O
some of the members of the club il
regard to adjourning it's first meeting
called for sonding delegates to th'
convention. The Club was adjourn
cd in order to obtain the constitutio,
and bylaws, which was in the hands
of an absent member Several wh,
were opposed to this, Withdrew from
the club and proceeded to- organic
and elect delegates. Afterwards tn
club of which Mr.. Jno. G. Cary i
PreSident, met pursuant to IN ad
journment, nnd elected their dele
gates; hence the contest.

The Cleveland Lender wants Secretary
of State Bayard impeached. because of his
unjustihable conduct in the Cutting case.
The editor states the situation thus:
He has proved himself to be iueOmp.t.nt or
something worse. lie purposely or ignorAntly
deceived congress with the statement that the
Mexican government refused TO surrender
Cutting upon the demand Of the president and
that the government of Mexico alleges as a
reason for its refusal that said Cutting is guilty.

Mexican government Is confronted with
the same difficulties that the administra-
ton found in dealing with the outrages
against the Chinese in Wyoming The
Chinese Minister demanded the punishment
OF the Wyoming mob. and indemnity for the
Chinese losses. To that demand Bayard re
piled, months after the demand was made
that the constitution of this country THE con
seryation OF the public peace is committed TO
the local authorities" in the states and tern
tories and that the Federal government could
not interfere-that the remidies sought must
be pursued through the avenues of justice
marked out for the reparation of surh
wrongs. The Mexican government has made
almost precisely the same reply 10 the de
mand Of Bayard for Cuttings release-thatit il
cannot Interfere with the courts of the state of
Chihauhau. and IL did not wait a week 10 give
the answer. This was not a refusal TO re
lease CuttiIg any more than Bayard q reply
WAS refusal TO punish the Wyoming .-iOterS
and BayaI d had no right to so represent IL,
Our Federal government may indemnify the
Chinese IL IL so desires, and the Mexican poy- |
ernment may pardon Cutting, That is the
most that either Of them can do. That is why
