Seventeen Men Killed by an Elephant.

A terrible elephant story comes from
India. While an elephant was being rid
den by its keeper in the district of Sui
tanpore, in Dude, the animal resented
prodding with spear by pulling the man
from his back and throwing him some
diss..spce away. Fortunately the man fell
n a hollow-apd remained there undis-
covered by the elephant iiee22hhapt, who went to a
neighboring village. ~
There he chased an old man into q
house, then broke down the walls, pulled
the man out, and dashed him to pieces.
The same night the elephant knocked
down several houses in quest of human
beings in the villages of Sadarpur, Bar
gaon, and Jaisingpur. He killed six
men in Bersoma, three in Sofa, four in
Gangeo, and four in Mafdan. He like
wise killed bullock and q pony, and
also completely destroyed new carriage.
The animal used to stand at the door OF
o house, force his entry by demolishing
the walls on either side, and would then
kill as many of the inmates as he could,
pursuing others who tried to run away.
He mangled the corpses terribly.
After securing victim he sometimes
returned to the spot to sec if life was
extinct, and would commence mutilatina
the body afresh. He carried severa
bodies long distances and threw then
into ravines, etc. The elephant found
his way to the Dehra Rajah's place, where
he tried to enter the house of gardener
but some men, mounted on three ele
plants, assisted by spearmen, drove him
off. He then returned to Bebipur, wher'

Mistaken ECONOMY.

At the risk OF being called selfish
we venture the assertion that the
Legislature did not do u wise thing,
when in it's Md rush for economy, it
repealed the law requiring County
Commissioners to publish their an
nual report. The people who pay in
the money should have the opportu-
nifty to know where, how much and
for what their money is paid out,
without spending q week to examine
the record. Putting these things in
such easy reach of public scrutiny,
whether they are scrutinised or not,
was bound to have a wholesome effect.
Ut cost less and did far more good in
proportion than the voluminous re-
ports to the General Assembly. It
would have been just as proper to
have repealed the law requiring con-
tracts for public works to be adver-
tised, and thus encourage official ia
yoriteism. It is idle to say the re.
ports were not read. They may not
have been read by the average legis-
lator, but the men who make money
and save money read them.
IL o business man saw that
any extrayagant price had been
paid for q certain piece of work, he
would be on hand next time and bid
the job off for less. There was little |
business foresight shown in the dis
cuesion Of tho subject. and far less in
the repeal Of the law. 1t more than
saved the cost Of printing in every
s1.O0O expended by the Connis. !
sionprs.

A Sad Story.

Our tOwnsman. Ny. John NJ. Nc
Connell, recently received the follow
ing letter (Which explains itself from
the manager of the Miami Lumber
Co., of Springfield, Ohio, bearing
date Of December 6, 1886:
"DEAR SIR: A few days since a man
about "a years old. of medium size,
dark hair and eyes, well dressed,
came to US for work. Our foreman
put him to loading saw logs on car
riage in the river. Unfortunately we
neglected to get his name, for hard
ly had he worked an hour before he
lost his footheld and Tell in the river.
His body was recovered and buried
next day, nothing being found on
him to identify him except your name
and address. Among his effects were,
overcoat nearly new, worth $1S, suit
clothes, also new, about $40; silver
watch $l5; revolver, Smith and Wes-
son double action 33 cal, worth $14;
ValIce, 81; hat, shirt, &c, and $3.50 in
money. The funeral expenses were

friend Of this unfortunate young man
aud will send me p. O. order for the
$50, L will send you by expresses all
his effects as above. IF You wish we
Will have remains taken up and sent
you ut your expense, but do not think
Unnecessary. Trusting you may know
something of this man, and that l
will hear from you soon, I am very
truly, A. BARCLAY"
Mr.. Mcconnell cannot imagine
who the unfortunate man wes, ard
permits us to publish this letter in
order that his ideutity might be dis,
covered if poaib!e. 1t il singular
that the young man should have hal
no written document aEont Linn save
the name and address Of AIr. McCoo.
nell His lonely end is peculiarly
sad, in the midst of health and
strength, amid strangers, and nn-
known TO family and friends.

Valae Of uodca.a lon.

How do the laws of the county
and almost everything, aud everybody,
ybrate from one extreme to another,
and what confusion and disaster at
tend the process? A few years ago
the friends of prohibition and tenn
perance found the small towns of the
country demora!ized, almost ruined,
by tho legalized sale of whiskey
The unnumbered evils that followed
in the wake of such a practice, were
so expensive, so mmanageable, and so
revolving, that the business and NOR
al sense Of the country, drove the
whislIoy traffic with most of its evils
into the cities, the great public centres
of law and order, religion and refine
ment, immortality and crime. Mod
Grafton said let the matter rest here.
Let the mixture ferment, and gradu-
ally work out it's own destiny in its
own way But the extremely whole
some country sentiment had acquired
so mnch momentum, it was almost
irresistible. It was carried headlong
into the larger towns and cities,
and in it's enthusiasm to capture
to these strongholds, it is about
loose its grip on the small towns and
country. How writer's are writing,
and speakers are speaking on both
sides! Who ever read, or heard such
bitter words? Such elimination and
recrimination! The extremists now
have the floor. Whichever side they
espouse, they will hurt their cause
and hurt the country. A question
involving SO many varied, far-reaching
md conflicting interests should be
handled with the greatest discretion,
coolncss, and above all things, with
moderation on both sides. The true,
the right, the proper and happy mean
for every community is somewhere,
but the extremists obscure it by rash
ness and clamOr. The most distin-
guishcd friends of both sides have
most awkwardly and unwisely at-
tempted ridicule and oil conceivable
threats. Wise, discreet men of mod
Grafton and concession, alone can work
out this great problem. Men who
can differ without getting mad. Men
who can pleasantly suggest that their
opponents may be mistaken, instead
of charging them that they are will
fully and maliciously wrong. Which
ever side you are on, if you are mod
crate and conscientious, go ahead, il
you nre not, hush.
The trito expressions, widows and
orphans" and "men's liberties" have
served their full term, and cannot b(
successfully employed any more

A NIOnrnfnl Wall.

The following is from the Able
Vile correspondent of the News anl
Courier.
"The purchase by Susong & Co., Of
the Atlantic, Greenville md Western
Railroad and their contract TO make
it a standard guage will be the end
of the Carolina Cumberland Cap &
Chicago Road, as it will go over the
mountains to Knoxville, which is
about the same general route of the
Carolina, Cumberland gap & Chicago
Road. While we have nothing to say
against the new road and are glad to
see such enterprises pushed to com
t,ie.iun, NO cR1il1tt ut feel sad to
think that we cannot now be even
hopeful under the guidance of that
inspiring enthusiast, Mr. Schotield." !"
Su. will sing many mournful Song
to that enterprising Company before
it can supplant the Cumberland Gap.
The Spartanburg and Ashevillc has
not chilled the Cumberland Gap
enterprise, and the Greenville and
Western Railroad would not aspire
to the dignity of being thought
twin sister to that precipitous log
chute. But there is room enough for
the Western Atlantic and the Cum
berland Gap too, and we would be
clad to see both succaed.

County EXRcnSeR.

The Abbeville Press and Bunncr.
has disgusted some of the county
officers by it's publication of county
court expenses for six years of Radi-
cal and Democratic rule Sheriff Du-
Pro denies that the county expenses
under Democratic rule nre larger
than under Radical rule and propo-
ses to demonstrate it by the reports as
soon as they can be obtained. The
Press and BGoncr hopes that the
Sheriff will vontilatc the whole matter
and proposes to render all the help
he can, and further states that as his
tabulatcd statement has been qucs
toned, he publishes statement pre-
pared by an expert for the same years
i'll which it appears that under the
items named the expenses for the six
years Of Democratic rule were $l5,-
47O more than the Radical rule for
the same period.
The Press anil Banner disclaims
any intention to blame the county
officers, but only tho law and to show
the deed Of reform legislation by
calling attention to specinl facts.
This, too, has been our purpose, as
orr county officers are good citizens
and competent officers. They are en-
titled to what tho law gives them, as
the law is the expression of the poo
pie through their representatives in
the Legislature. We mentioned the
aggregate figures Of only five items of
county expenses, and then spoke Of
printing and other items being large,
the amonnt Of which INV one could
see from tho report of the County
Commissioners; all of which could and
should be reduced Us far as possible.
In the matter of printing we cannot
see the necessity, after the report of
the Commissioners of accounts audit
ed and allowed, of publishing the re-
ports of the Comfy Treasurer and
School Commissioner of accounts
paid. This would cut off considera-
bic and prove beneficial to the taxpay
ers. We are in favor of cutting off
all useless expenses and reducing fees
and costs and salafi "a to q sum as low
IS can secure good and competent Of
icers. We think the people should
know where their money goes and in
what way some Of it could be saved,
md approve of full discussions Of
State and county expenses by the
press. .-KeOaoeG C0uTiGr.
