Dr.L. II. Shaffer, of the Corpse Trust
notoriety, died at the Reniteatiary Tuesday
morning. Jan. 29th. at about half-past 6
o'clock. DR.. Shafer when received at the
prison gave his age as SIS, but his personal
appearance warranted the opinion that he
might be 10. He had been great sufferer
from rheumatism, which had aged him very
much, and after his incarcerati on be failed
rapidly, for the last two or three months
being quite feeble The immediate cause Of
death was heart disease, secondary to rheu-
noatism. He will be buried for the present
IN the prison graveyard, but his son, who
was with him and whose time will expire
about next December, has been granted per
mission to have the body removed as soon
as he gets out, in fact this permission is
cheerfully granted to the friends Of any per-

Suggestion for Judge Lynch.

We are not in favor of lynch law. but ii
Judge Lynch will insist on holding court,
We would suggest when juries acquit Of the
charge of murder.-(when the evidence IN
mistakably supports the charge that the
Jury Commissioner be taken care Of and
treated as he deserves to be.
If few Jury Commissioners were hanged
in place of the criminals where juries they
may have arranged to acquit and if we had
more such Sherihfs as they have in B:rming-
naa:. Judge Lynch would not find it neces-
s..rv to take care Of guiity men.
II one or two Jury Commissioners were
hanged on palpable evidence of having tam.
pered with the juues which are to try muir
decers, the effect would be beneficial to the
peace and dignity of the State.
Tue attention of Judge Lynch is directed
to the Jury Commission who may be in need
of his attention. A little wholesome hang
ing of Jury Commissioners might ensure
the future conviction OF notoriously guilty
men.-Ab5erMs Press aud Banner.

Pocotalieo.
sSlD,ter Advance.

Most of my readers, presume, have heard
the amusing story which claims to give the
origin of the word "Pocotaligo." There are
doubtless several different versions OF this
story, which in substance is about as follows
A man had balky mule or OK which he was
trying to drive, the animal wouldn't go;
some one handed him stick and remarked
Here, poke-he-tail-he-Go," or literally poke
his tail and he will 60" From this incident
it is said Pocotaigo was named. This story
was doubtless started as joke, for Pocotai-
ipo is unuuestionably an Indian name.
Il IS an interesting fact that there are two
streams in South Carolina named Pocotaiigo.
One of them is Pocosaligo River, IN the
southwestern portion of the State. This
Pocotalipo is mentioned in that stirring
colonial romance-"The Iemassee by
William Gilmore Simms. The other stream
bearing this name is generally Just called
Pocotalico. It is q river in size and is form
ed by the union of other streams IN this
county: for q part of the way 1t IS the
boundary between Privateer and Sumter
townships, also between Pri7ateer and Con-
cord townships, and it flows down into
Clarendon county. Mr.. Albert S. Gatschet
in volume first Of his Migration Legend OF
the Creek Indians" gives carefully prepar-
ed and thoughtful, ethnographisal sketch OF
the Yammassi (Yamassee) Indians. Men
tioninc their town-Pocotaligo-he tells us
this in o foot-aote: 'Gallatin, Synopsis,
page 81, recalls the circumstance that
PoIetalico is also the name OF tributary OF
the Great Kanawha river. This seems to
point to a foreign origin of that name" In
a letter 70 the writer of these lines, Mr..
Gatsctet says "Pocotaligo contains taliSo,
which appears to be Identical with Telllco
and Tahlequah, and in that case would bs
Cherokee name, though hitherto unexpla!n-
ed. Don't know what POGO would be in that
language" It may be remarked here that
Mr.. Gatschet's knowledge Of the Indian
language is probably more comprehensive
than that of any other living writer.
Although Privateer has an area OF 46 square
miles and abounds in branches and swamps,
Pocotalico, so far as the writer knows, is the
onlv Indian name now connected with the
township, which, as mentioned in
former article, is the only piece Of territory
in the world that bears the name Of Priva-
teer, and it seems to be in accordance with
the fitness of things that the township
should be bounded by q stream whose name
is very unique in sound and exceedingly
rare. MCDONALD tCRAAN.

A New County.

The Charleston San says meeting Of
prominent citizens of Berkeley county was
held recently at Monck's Corner to discuss
the division Of Berkeley into two counties.
The proposed county would embrace the
parishes of st. Stephens st. Johns, Berke.
ley, and so much of the parish of st. James
Goose Creek as lies north Of line drawn
from the junction of the eastern and wes.
tern branches of the Cooper river to the
south east limit of the town of Summerville
lying in Berkeiy county. Under this sub.
division the new county would have about
1000 square miles, leaving something over
that area in the county Of Berkeley. It was
resolved that should other sections of the
proposed county agree with the opinions
herein expressed, AIessrs. G. W. Avinger
and J. Calhoun Cain be appointed to rep

The sixth annual convention of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union Of South
Carolina will be held in Charleston on Feb
ruary o. 1t is expected that delegates will
be present from all parts Of the State, and
the proceedings Of the body will doubtless
be characterized by great harmony and be
attended by good results. AS Burke says:
''Our physical well-beins, our moral worth,
our social happiness, our political tranquil
lity, all depend on that control of our nppe-
tites and passions which the ancients de:
signed by the cardinal virtue Of temperance
It is for these ends that the Woman S
Christian Temperance Union is striving, or,
as it is sententiously expressed in the motto
of the organization, it Is working "For God
and Home, and N.;ive Land The Union
steering clear Of political alliances, and
teuapering its zeal with Temperance, has al
ready accomplished g splendid work. The
conservatism OF its course in the past is the
best guarantee that could be given OF the
wisdom of its policy IN the future.

He Marries a Widow TO Save his Home.

CHARLESTON, Feb. About the queerest
case of matrir1ony on record is reported IN
spartan5urg county in this State A young
merchant found himself the defendant in
several lawsuits: with Judgments out against
him. He employed a lawyer, but learned
that 1t was too late to move for a new trial.
His property was advertised for sale. On
Friday last the Sheriff received notice from
him that he would claim the homestead, and
asked that he send out and have it laid of
for him, inasmuch as he was not willing to
see his wife and children placed in a con-
ditlon of want and suffering. 1t seems that
this young merchant had found widow
with three children who consented to an i'm
mediate marriage, and had thns provided
himself with ready-made family. Under
the homestead laws of this State married
mans estate is exempt from judgment to the
amount of $1,000. The plaintiffs attorneys
have given notice to the other side that they
will apply to the Court to set aside the mar
riage as illegal, having been contracted to
binder, delay, and defraud the creditors out
of their Just and lawful claims.

summoned him before him to show
cause why he should not turn the Of

This Whipper refused to do, and in
