ed his body. Three ribs were broken, and

Mr,J. T.. Hughey, of Greenwood, S. O.,
will be in the city Tuesday, the 29th inst |,
in the interest Of his new patent level.
He sold several months ago rights to sell
the level in all the townships in our coun-
ty, except Broadway, Centerville, Rock
Mills, RopeWell and Dark Corner. Mr..
,Hughey is a straightout Alliance man,
and is one of the most successful farmers
of Abbeville County. He was, until its
consolidation with the Farmers Alliance,
the leading spirit of the Greenwood
Grange We hope those, Of our farmers
Who have lands that are being washed
away will examine Mr.. Hughey's level
before leaving town.
The Greenville Enterprise and Mountain
eer, of last week, says: "Mr. +. +. Nun
naiy, who lives about eight miles from
this City in Anderson County, yesterday
informed us that on Friday night last two
men, Fred Nix end Bud Brooks, called at
his home and engaged him in conversa-
ton, and in few. minutes thereafter two
or three other men came in and all
together proceeded to tie him aud then
administer to him 8 severe beating The
men were former friends, and hedid not
once suspect they would thus treat him.
We have no doubt but that the affair will
be fully investigated in legal manner,
and those committing the outrage te Sc
verely punished.
The Abbeville Medium, of last week, says !:
"James H. Simpson went up to Anderson
last week and while in that cheap market
bought claw-hammer paying fifty cents.
In Abbeville he could have bought one for
twenty-five cents or q common hammer
for ten cents.' We will venture the asser
ton that the same sort of hammer Mr..
Simpson purchased in Anderson can't be
purchased in the village Of Abbeville, for
the reason that her merchants do not keep
them in stock, and if they did they could
not sell it for less than IS cents. II the
Medium editor can buy the same hammer
at Is cents, he ought to buy car load and
20 on the road at once, for it will pay him
8 better profit than his paper.
John Robiuson's Circus last Tuesday
attracted the largest crowd we have ever
seen within the limits Of Anderson. Va
rious estimates have been made as to the
number, and We think We can be safe in
saying that there were from twelve thous-
and to fifteen thousand visitors in the city.
Before daylight crowds of people began
to arrive In the city, not only from every
section Of the County, but also from all OF
our neighboring Counties and across the
Savannah from several Counties in Geor.
