Mr.. J. NJ. Cason shot hawk ut his carp
pond last week that measued five feet from
tip to tip of wings. The hawk had in its
talons onc-year-old carp and was flying
at distance of 125 yards when Mr.. Cason
brought him to the ground with rifle ball.
Mr.. Cason is in his G5th year but can draw
bead with rifle as uncrringly as any of
the boys. The king-fishers, cranes, ducks,
turtles, frogs, snakes, etc., play sad havoc
with the carp, and should be destroyed as
much as possible One blue crane, we are
told, destroyed 100 carp in day and night

Mr.. F. A. Hatch, State organizer of the
Knights Of Labor, has gone to Charleston
to organize tonight two assemblies of the
Order, the first formed in the city. There
is large and growing assembly in Colum-
bia. 1t is probably not generally known
that negroes are being initiated into the
Order in South Carolina. One of the two
assemblies in Florence is composed of
colored men and one issoon to be organized
here. There is opposition to this feature of
the labor movement, but it seems to be the
general policy of the Order to debar no one
from membership on account of color.
The question this policy brings up is a
grave one.-COlumbia Correspondence Ne.cs

man. The two mon were so we'll satisfied
| that their pllOt was an unWllleatcu Iar,
that they took him out and made Speck led
John give him good thrashing. Since
the above was put in type, we learn that
the man who was whipped is Dick Jones,
colored. There were eight men in the
party, and they were after negro implcat-
ed in an Abbevile County murder some
ten years ago.-Pickcns Sentinel
Willis Price, colorcd, of Lebanon, aged
10 years, died last Sunday, after ten months
of sickness. He was afflicted in peculiar
way. He had sore on the instep of his
foot about ten months ago. The sore was
poulticed. The outer skin peeled off, and
it is alleged that an innumerable number
of worms shot their heads out at the sur
face Abrasions of the skin were after
wards made in other places when the
worms appeared as before. His flesh
seemed to be full of very small worms. AS
far as we are informed lie made no effort to
get medical aid until the day before he
died. A physician was to go to see him on
the day of his death. 1t is reported that
the disease was the parasite which is i'm
sparted to the human system by eating
diseased raw bacon, but the doctors do not
believe this, though they did not see the
patient.-AJJeriAc Press and Banner.
