One valuable feature of the Fort Hill

One valuable feature of the Fort Hill
library will probably puzzle the executor
and the trustees to dispose of it. 1t is
the manuscript of the completed first vol
ume of the life of John @. Calhoun,
prepared by the late Pinckney Starke,
with the aid of Mr.. Clemson. lis, how.
ever, all in a peculiar short hand invented
by Mr.. Starke himself, and appears to
defy all efforts to translate it, Many of
the documents, reports and other manu-.
scripts used by Mr.. Starke and collected
by him and R. M. Hunter, of Virginia,
who undertook to prepare life of Mr..
Calhoun, but was compelled by poverty
to relinquish it, are in an old trunk in
the library building and may be found
valuable by some later biographer.
After some talk with Col. Simpson and
Col. Norris and after seeing the intense
earnestness with which they appear to be
inspired in the execution of the work left
with them to do, the Nea0s representative
had no difficulty in bringing to his minds
eye the picture that was doubtless pre-
eented to Mr.. Cemson's Imagination
many times-the picture of the homely
house, hallowed by the name OF the grim
old statesman whose face with its Celtic
cheek bones and blazing eyes looks with
lifelike gaze from the inner walls, the
centre of group of statelier buildings
of the rounded slopes of velvet green,
made deep and dark beneath the inter:
lacing branches of the sturdy cedars and
of lighter and more delicate and shifting
tints where they fall away in the sunlight
to the silver river on one eide and the
murmuring, sparkling stream and bend
ing willows on the other, peopled with
the young and sturdy bone and sinew Of
the State Calhoun loved 50 well and rep.
resented so grandly, learning how to
make her richer, grander and happier
the glorious, fruitful home of people as
prosperous and strong as they have ever
been brave, generous and free.

A Widow Run out of Town.

EAST LIVERPOOL, ONO, April 13.-
Yesterday afternoon George Burton, a
well.to.do man of this city, turned his
wife out of the house and left for Pitts.
burg. Last evening he returned and
brought with him a dashing widow
named Mrs. Fenton, who, at Burton's re-.
quest, had come On from Trenton, N. J..
The woman was installed in the house,
and when Mrs. Burton applied for ad-
mittance she was sent away, her husband
saying that he had somebody else to care
for him now. The news spread around,
and the female neighbors decided to
revenge the wife's wrongs. After 10
o'clock last night 300 women, armed with
rotten eggs, assaulted the home and beat
the doors open.
Burton and the woman, both in scan t
costume, were dragged out. The man
was chased several blocks, while rotten
eggs flew after him. The widow was
pounded and pummelled, and at last she
fell in the street and the enraged women
kicked her until the marshal appeared
and rescued her. The mob gathered in
numbers and both Burton and the woman
we're locked up for safe keeping. The
neighbors then ransacked the house,
which this morning looks as if a tornado
had struck it.
At9 o'clock this morning hundreds Of
the women gathered around the city Jail,
armed with rotten eggs, and vowed they
would keep watch for Mrs. Fenton and
drive her out of town. This afternoon
she took the train for Trenton. She was
dressed in rich black silk costume, and
wss conspicuous with large purple
plume in her bonnet A mob of three
hundred witnessed the departure. A
number of women we're present, but the
police prevented any violence.

- For several days Atlanta has been
enjoying the sensation of blind BRIDE
groom; the owner Of gold mines in Mon
tana, who had won Miss Sarah Aught-
man, aged,1 to be his wife, although he
himself was 60 years old. The first thing
he did on Monday morning last was to
take her around to the jswelry and dry
goods stores, and on Tuesday morning she
made her appearance arrayed in the
finest of fabrics and the most exquisite of
:jiewelry. On Wednesday night an officer
tore her blind husband from her side and
he is now an inmate of the ca!aboose.
This summary proceeding was the result
of telegram received from Attorney
General Horratt, of Efngham, ILL.,, which
stated that the old sinner had played the
same game in that town last November,
Miss Anne Montgomery being the VIC
tim. The new wife is disconsolate, but
believes implicitly in her husband. The
Illinois lady is on her way to claim her
own, and altogether an interesting sensa.
ton is ahead.

On SATURDAY. last William Johnson

On Saturday last, William Johnson,
colored resident of this city, paid 25
cents for pair of shad and wended his
way home little dreaming that he would
have lis fish and make money besides.
Such was the case, however, for when his
wife cleaned and pulled the shad, she
discovered in the entrails of one cent
silver piece, and upon further examina.
ton came across so cents in silver. The
halfdollar piece was so corroded that it
was almost black Wilmington Messen.

s The importance of Anderson County
having an exhibit at the Augusta Expo.
sition next fall cannot be er:estimated,
as it will afford the most favorable means
of displaying to the world the resources
and industries of our County. The Ex-
position offers premium Of $1,000 for the
best county exhibit Of the products of
Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry
and the products Of Domestic Skill and
Industry. 1.-THE matter is taken hold Of
at once and pushed for all it is worth,
Anderson County can get up a very in
teresting e1hibit-one thai will attract
attention and be of incalculable benefit
to our whole section. All of our farmers
should feel an interest in this exhibit,
and. d.in harvesting their crops, they should
reserve soma of their best specimens and
offer them to those who willhave in hand
the business of getting up the County
exhibit. The Port Royal and Western
Carolina Railway, with its usual enter
prise, has issued a circular stating that
it will transport free, to and from Angus:
ia, the exhibits of the several Counties
trayersed by its line, when entered for the
premium.

The death of the Secretary of. State,
Hon. w. q. Leitner, creates vacancy
in that Office, and Governor Richardson
will be called uron to fillit in few days.
There will, no doubt, be many appli-
can,s for the position, and as the Office is
one Of the most important in the State
government, GOV. Richardson should
inquire carefully into the merits of each
candidate before the appointment is
made. The friends of Capt. John W.
Daniels, of this city, will present his
name for the position, and urge his
appointment. Capt. Daniels is id every
way qualified for the position, and the
Governor could not name a man. who
would make more efficient officer. For
twenty years Capt. Daniels very accep-
tably filled the Office of Clerk of Court
of this County, and for the past two
years has served in the State Legislature.
.Heis thoroughly posted as to the laws
of South Carolina, and is gentleman IF
fine executive ability and practical judg-
.ment. He was a gallant soldier in the
late war, and from the effects ofa wound
received there is compelled to use his
crutches. de is high.toned, christian
gentleman, and would be 8 worthy sue
cessor to the lamented Leitner. Capt.
Daniels is peculiarly fitted for the posi-.
tion, and we are confident that if Gov.
Richardson will place him in the Office
he will never have cause to regret the
act. Anderson County asks for the
appointment, and we think she is enti-
tied to it. No County in the State has
done more for the Democracy and good
government, and she has never yet had
one of her SONS honored with q position,
either elective or appointive, of any i'm
portance. When she brings forward a
candidate, who is thoroughly competent
for the position asked for, as in this
instance, we think her claims should
receive some consideration.
[since the above was put in type a
private telegram has been received in
the city stating that Capt. J. @. Mar.
shall, of Columbia, had been appointed
Secretary of State: What we have said
about Capt. Daniels is the sentiment of
Anderson County, therefore we will let
it stand.

Since the termination of hostilities
between the States the enormous sum of
$685., 100000 has been paid to pensioners
"a sum unparalleled in the history Of
the whole world. In 1879 the report of
the Commissioners of Pensions showed
tha. when Congress passed the arrears
of the Pension Act, there we're some
sc. 1886 applications for invalid pensions.
The act was passed in 1880 and the
applications jumped to 1868. Not,
vithstanding fifteen years had elapsed
since Gen. Lee surrendered at tAppomat-
:tox in 1865. Now, then, the question
arises, where were these 10000 and more
invalids who are entitled to pensions from
the government through all these fifteen
years7 They did not know that they
had been disabled until after this Law
had passed, and Congress putting limi.
tation upon5 time for applying the mum.
Der Of applicants jumped in one single
year, BY the record, from $4,000 to no..
900, and the amount of disbursements
from $4,000 to s57, 100000. The pen
sion.rolls show that out of 2, 300, 900 men
enrolled in the federal army, 100000
were disabled by disease or by shot and
shell. Nearly 50per cent. Of allthe men
enrolled in the federal army, according
to the pension reports, are now appli.
cants for pensions, or have been. While
it is generally conceded that the Confed-
crate soldiers wasn't more than half
clothed and half.armed and half.fed; yet
according to this report every Confeder.
ate soldier disabled three of his adverse.
