A few days ago a negro boy Of about IA
years, living about midway between
Hickory Grove and Broad river, while out
hunting squiri els, found a small iron box,
about six inches square, in hollow OF

by lightning about so feet above the ground
many years ago. Tho box resisted the boys
efforts TO open it until he got home, where
he burst it open with an ak. The iron was
about one eighth Of an inch thick, and the
contents were very interesting. There
were two gold pieces Of English coinage
and several small silver ana copper coins.
The gold pieces were about the sizc Of 50
piece, and IVA was the most recent date
borne by any of the coins There was also
a piece Of parchment in the box upon
which was kind Of coat of arms that can

At Marion, Monday, a convention was
held in the court house Of farmers who
were in sympathy with reduction of sala-
rles and general expenses of the state gov
ernmeIt, and with the establishment Of a
separate agricultural college. In the course
Of the proceedings l.. S. Bingham, a candi-
date for the senate, made a speech in which
he charged that the judiciary of South Car
olina was corrupt; that the records in the
various clerks offices of the state would
prove that our circuit judges took sides in
case, ant that the governor Of South Car
olina received more money than his salary,
and to prove it said that during
the session of the legislature in the
winter of 1886: an Appropriation Of
$4,000 was made to improve the
governors mansion; that former legisla-
ture had appropriated 800 to furnish the
mansion, and that committee which was
appointed to investigate and report as To
how the money had been spent made their
report on the floor of the house during the
sessions of 1885, that they found in the gov
ernor's mansion nothing but an old table
worth % cents, and that it was tae pre-
sumption of the committee that the COVER
nor, who at that time. or just before hal
retired had carried off with him nothing
but what belonged to him. MIR Bigham
was asked by B. F. Davis, who was the gov
ernor alluded to, and after good deal of
hesitation he said it was Gov Thompson,
and that he did not know whether the charge
was false or not, but that the committee re-
ported as he had detailed it,

gentlemen from Quitman, one OF whom
was Frank Mcdonald, were in bathing at
the Blue Springs, when an immense terra
pin was seen to come out from under the
rock and swim out 10 the edge where it
stopped The crowd tried to surround ana
capture it, but before they could DO so IL
had got back into the deep water, and was
making for its retreat under the rock. Be-
fore it could get out of reach though, Mr..
Mcdonald made dive after 1t, followed it
TO the bottom of the springs, depth OF IL
or Is feet, held it tOthe ground with one
hand, seized one of its hind feet with the

At Fort Valley, Wednesday night, soon
after the rival of the o'clock train from
Macon, there was quite a furry about the
Harris house over the fact-as at the time
supposed-that Houston Cooper had been
made the victim of a sharp pickpocket
The bar on his watch chain dropped en- the
floor, and in picking it up, and reaching
around to hook up the chain he discovered
that it was missing and the watch also.
Several ran out 10 find the thief ms the train
had left and, he was supposed to be hiding.
No truce Of the robber being found, a dis
patch was sent to Macon ana Perry,
whittier the man was supposed
TO have gone. Thursday morn
ing Maj NJ. l.. Cooper received n
letter from r. T.. Taylor Of MarshaIlville,
telling him that he had the watch, and OH
tanned it in this wise: Mr.. Taylor came
from Macon on the tram and got off TO buy
some grapes, and boarded the train for
Marshalville soon after. When he had
gone about three miles a negro called his
attention to the fact that he was about to
lose something hanging to the button on
the back of his coat, and In feeling for it he
discovered that it was watch hanging by
a chain wound around the button. Seeing
a notice in the Macon Telegraph he at once
notified Maj. Cooper that he supposed he
had the lost watch. The major went down
Thursday night and got it. A crowd was
standing on the plank walk when the train
arrived, awaiting election returns, and Mr..
Cooper in passing Mr.. Taylor with unbut-
toned coat and vest, left the chain dangling
and it caught against the button of Mr.
Taylor's coat and broke off, and Mr. Taylor
carried it off without knowing anything
about it,
