frightened .. . Comm.


Last Tuesday morning small coffin, about
foot long, covered with black cloth, and
evidently made by one who knows how to
make coffin, was found Mt the door Of .
colored mans house, on the Spartanburg
road, near Mr.. Philip Dunn's residence.
In the coffin was 8S calibre cartridge, and
the following written warning:
"The way Of the transgressor is hard, 50
make ready and Zee from the wrath that is
Mac Miller, at whose door the coffin wax
found, took fright and left that afternoon. It
has since como to our ears, from the best Of au-
thority, that the day before he found the
coffin he acted in IN outrageous manner,
on the premises Of his employer, Mr.. Thad
Foster, in marching through the front yard,
gun in hand, in sight of Mr.. Fosters wife
and family, cursing and swearing vengeance
against Mr.. Foster, and threatening to
burn down the house.
The difficulty grew out of Mr.. Foster re-
fusing to give Mack more than his
share Of the wheat straw on the farm.
At the time Mr.. Foster was neither pre-
pared or disposed to have o difficulty with
him but it is well, we think, that the fell
low took the hint as promptly as he did, for
his conduct to Mr.. Foster and family indi-
Gated that he intended to do them serious
injury, and aroused q feeling of uneasiness
and just indignation among the people.

The Augusta branch may be built-we
have tried 10 think all along that it would
be but it appears to us now extremely
doubtful. At any rate, having no taxes to
pay for it unless it be built, we can cease to
give ourselves much concern about it.
The Three Cs people accuse the counties
of Lancaster and York Of acting shabbily
in preventing their getting the township
bonds they are entitled /, in those couuties.
1t is shabby; but have not the railroad
people treated us about as shabbjly? They
have collected three years taxes; they have
made solemn and repeHed promise to build
-tbs~rseasn nthexs held yhs Sharter in tho way
and they are just as fhrS agnt onl.9 y 5s
they were at the beginning. They have
done absolutely nothing but ruu lines aud
make promises.
We are very much of the opinion of our
neighbor of the Newberry 0Jsercer. Three
months from now tire working hours of the
day will be from 4 to 9 hours less than
now, and from that time on till late next
Spring the weather viii DO such that one
ha'f the time railroad work will be al
most impossible. Railroad Companies aul
contractors do not select the shortest and
most unpleasant days Of the ycar on which
to commence thoir railroad work; so we
may rest satisfied that We will not be called
on to pay taxes on the r. r. bonds until
after the n ext Tax Collector Is elected.
