Under the wl,oola.

Just after last Friday nights east
bound freight had pulled into the yards
the attention of several railroad men
were attracted by cries Of distress in the
vicinity of the freight depot, and upon
reaching that locality discovered . man
lying beside the track with his right
leg mashed just below the knee. As
sistance was procured and the injured
man was carried to the baggage room of
the passenger depot, where he gave his
name as Joseph Noble, and claimed to
hail from New York city. According to
his story he, in company with three
companions, was beating his way over
the road and had reached this oity on
the freight train upon which he met
with the accident. When the train
stopped in the yard he got off Of the oil
tank car on which he had been riding
and was arrested by the night yard.
Waterman, but succeeded in regainine
his liberty and attempted to make his
escape by jumping over the bumpers
between the cars Of the moving train,
when he slipped and fell to the track.
He was not discovered until the train
had passed it's entire length over him.
His leg was terribly mangled from the
knee down to the ankle. He was taken
in charge by the county and removed
to the New York house, whore DR..
Shawk, the county physician, amputated
his leg above the knee. At last accounts
he was resting comfortably and the pros
poets are that he will survive the shock
and recover with the loss of his leg.
In commenting upon the recent elec-
ton in this state, the Salt Lake Tribune
says: left to themselves. the voters
of Montana would cast a republican
majority of about 5000. But there are
four democrats in that territory who
employ some 5000 workingmen. Not
only do they employ men enough to
make an army corps. but they are broad
gauge men who back q hundred inter-
ests outside of their regular business.
who, when a public house is to lH
built, public work forwarded or case
of private distress to he relieved, are
always relied upon. 1t would not Ike
strange if four such men could intin-
ence more than $500 voters to change
their vote. 1t is charged that bulldoz-
ing and Doodle have been relied upon
by these men in the late campaign.
We know nothing Of the facts, but sns-
pect there is something in the state
ment, because it seems to us that the
democratic vote would have been larger
had simple appeal been made to the
Judgment, the sense Of justice and graf
itude of the men who toll, leaving to
the voters free choice To vote for
whom they might please. Tom Couch
told the men in the employ Of the com
pany over whose works he is superin-
tendent, that he would sooner burn the
works than have any man in the EN-
ploy of the company be influenced
through fear of losing his place by vot.
ing a ticket in opposition to the Wishes
of his employers. We believe that hail
his example been followed by other
companies it would have been more ef-
fective than any other plan .ls it IL.
no matter what the final result may he,
we believe that the outcome will tieli,-
onstrate that a simple APPEAL woul,
have been worth all the money that
may have been expended in the canl--
paign." Hs8-

A new process for burning coal with
out smoke has lately been discovered.
1t consists in sprinkling water contain
ing special preparation of resin over
the coal, and the result is that there is
no smoke and the glow is as intense as
coke. An English company is to be
formed to work the new patent. An au-
thority vouches for the fact that it
works admirably, and in it's fire is re-
markable improvement on coke.

The law has no terror for a man whose

The law cannot control hot blood.
The only human power that can do it is
that sober public opinion which is the
outcome of Christian and sensible sys-

of self. control, instilled into children by
precept and example, with the liberal
use Of inc rod when necessary, will keep
society tolerably straight. The child who,
from infancy, has been taught to control
his passions, will generally keep the
peace and discourage lawless violence in
others.

= The first cannon which came into
use after the discovery of the explosive
properties of fgunpowder, during the 14lh
century, were called bombards. They
consisted of iron bars bound together
with hoops Of the same metal. The first
cannon balls fired from these primitive.
weapons were round stones. It is a mis-
take to suppose that breech- loading guns
were not tried till recently. They were
made when cannon first t'came into use,
but were soon abandoned because no one
knew how to make them strong enough.
Among the early cannon were culverins,
which were made four times the length
of man, the early artilIerists having
conceived the idea that the longer the
gun the further it would carry.

The Richest Ex.Slaye.

The wealthiest colored man in the
South since the war, who has born a
slave and set free by the emancipation
proclamation, was Ben Montgomery, of
Mississippi. He belonged to Joseph
Davis first, and then to Jefferson Davis.
For years before the war he was the Sec
retary of Hon. Joseph Davis, Jefferson
Davis elder brother. The Dsvises were
large planters and owned the "Hurri.
canes" estate, consisting Of three cotton
plantations at the extreme lover end of
Warren County, Miss, and about eigh.
teen or twenty miles below Vicksburg.
There were between 10000 aud $4,000
acres of the finest land on the Mississippi
river in these plantations and over $50
slaves.
All the letters respecting the business
Of these places for thirty years were writ
ten by Ben Montgomery. he frequently
went to New Orleans on business for the
Davises and carried with him once
100000 in money. He travelled with
Davis all over the North, and could have
run away fifty times had he wished.
But he remained loyal to the lust. The
Davises were noted for their kindness to
slaves. They had finer "quarters" on
their plantations, probably, than any
planters in the South, excepting the
Hamptons. They kept a physician
always on the places and in every way
cared for their 'colored people," as the
slaves were frequently called. When
Jefferson Davis and his brother Joseph
left their homes, one as the President of
the Southern Confederacy and the other
as brigadier.general, they put every
thing under Ben Montgonery's charge.
He made the crops Of 1S61-62 and
1862 -63, about 5000 bales of cotton, and
shipped it to New Orleans and sold it to
foreign buyers for gold. This money he
carefully sent to Davis. In 1865, when
the slaves we're emancipated, Davis sold
the Hurricanes" to Montgomery for
100000 in gold. When the federal
"agents for the protection of abandoned
property and lands" came to take pos
session of the Hurricanes, they found
Ben Montgomery with title so strong
that it could not be upset and they left
him iu peaceable possession.
After the war be continued to plant
these places, making every year from
/, 100 to .2,2OO bales of cotton, besides an
abundance of corn and hay. In 1876
there being balance due on the pay
ments, Davis took the property back, but
left Montgomery in charge. These
places now yield handsome income to
Davis, who lives on the Mississippi sea-
shore at Beauvoir, but visits his old home
once year. Whenever he goes back to
his former residence, all the old time
negroes within fifty rniles comes to see
"Old Marse JEFF" When Ben Mont
gomery died, in 1881, Davis went to bis
funeral, and there was no sincerer
mourner than he who once had the fate
of a people upon his shoulders, at the
grave of his old and lifelong friend,
though his slave.

At the recent examination there were
about ten whites and thirty colored, and
of these not one received, a first grade
license, and the teacher who came the
nearest to getting first grade soas ne.
gro. It is not pleasant to us to write
these things, but facts are stubborn
things and We want the people to know
the facts. It is true that in one or two of
the branches, History and Geography,
the questions were unfair, and we're so
regarded by all the Board, but they were
no more unfair for the whites than for
the negroes. They we're diestions out
side of the line of the tezt books and of
what the teachers are required to teach
every day, but they were not outside OF
what every intelligent mau and woman
in South Carolina is supposed 10 know,
but they we're not, strictly speaking,
questions on the branches taught. For
instance, one question was explain the
Hampton campaign, its significance and
its results" No history yet printed
tells any thing about it, and all the
information to be had about it is from
old newspapers or from tradition. An.
other was: "How many provisional Coy
ernors has South Carolina had since
1865, and their names7" The same is
true of this as of the first question, and
in this connection we would like to call
upon the first and second grade teachers
Of the County to answer this question.
What say you? Let's have your opinion.
