Robinson for a chew of tobacco. Robinson

Americas Republican: Some enterprising
Individual with small capital could make a
ten strike by establishing a small manu-
factory IN Americas for the manufacture
Of tubs, barrels, buckets, and numberless
other similar articles. Our woods abound
in inexhaustib!e supplies Of every kind Of
wood suitable for the manufacture Of such
articles, and that there would always be a
constant demand for them in our home
market goes without the saying. Only yes
terday We heard prominent grocer say
that his orders for syrup barrels could not
be filed at any OF the many factories from
which he had ordered, aud that he could
easily handle three or four carloads of them
here right now. The cane crop in this sec
ton il the finest in years, and the demand
for barrels is unprecedented in consequence.

tween Cochran and Dublin, reports sensa-

there were shipped to Billiards. station,
Cochran and Eastman, on the East Tonnes
see, Virginia and Georgia road three
boxes of firearms and ammunition, one
box at each place, and weighing 800
pounds each. He thinks it entirely politi-
cal movement by the radicals. Some of the
negroes say that they have been instructed,
and are determined that President Cleve-
land, in the event he is reelected shall not
take his seat. They intend to repeat the
same game which defeated the great and
wise Tilden. 1t is thought that this is a
russ to get out the negro vote for Harrison
and Morton.

Marshal Harris of Summerville has re-
covered the gun with which Martha Ann
Harris was shot in Summerville Monday,
Oct l. The gun, it was believed all along,
would figure prominently in deciding the
identity of the murderer, and its discovery
is regarded as OF grave importance. Mar
shall Harris searched Edmond Harris house
shortly after the shooting, and one o. his
four guns was missing. He had two mus
kets and two shotguns. The ono missing

Of il obtained from Harris, son tallies
with the one found. He told of II being

brass plate on the lower part of the stock

who discovered the gun under Il church,

naming charge could have been made.
