In order that calalnities may De
averted, we think it right and proper
for the newspapers of the State ana
their correspondents to bring before the
public the names of such men for the
State officers as they think VIII be
acceptable to the whole people. !,
Circumstances are different to what
they have been in former years, ana
the only desire of us all is to have such
men at the head Of affairs as will give
the greatest satisfaction to the greatest
number-farmers, tradesmen and all
others who inhabit our State, and who
have their being on the Anglo-Sa;xon
side of the fence. We, of course, have
any number of men ready to hold office,
but thew are not all men of the period,
and, therefore, there must be shaking
up, sitting, as it were, until we get the
best. To-day we place the name OF Col;
I,hos. w. Holloway in our editorial
column for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
man to whom no farmer or anybody
else can raise an objection. If he with
Barnwell's son is taken, it Will be as
strong as the rocks of Gibraltar. Ihat
it may be so we earnestly hope.

SAD ACCIDENT IN COLUMBIA.
A Young Man Run Over and Killed in the
Street by Runaway Horse,

Especial to the Greenvilie News.l
COLUMBIA, Feb. 22.-One of the
saddest accidents that has ever occurred
in this city happened to-day, whereby
Oscar Sox, a young citizen of LeXing-
ton County, lost his life. This morning,
in company with his little sister, he
reached the city. Now he lies a corpse.
The unfortunate affair was caused by
the carelessness Of a drunken negro,
Sam Jenkins, who was driving horse
up Main Street. The animal pitched
the negro out of the sulky. sped up the
crowded street like a rocket, and after
running two blocks, rushed against
Sox, who was holding his little sisters
hand. He managed to push her aside
but before he could recover himself the
animal knocked him down, striking
him on the side Of his head with his
hoof. Hisskull was cracked, producing
concession of the brain. The poor fel-
low died five hours later. An inquest
will be held Monday night. There is a
great deal of talk about holding Jen-
Sins acc !untable.

A Journey Lasting Nearly Two
Years.

In Sarotov an interesting traveller
on foot arrived recently. He was
peasant, Nikolay Audukin by name,
and over seventy years of age. He
had been a aerf, and in 1852 his mas
ter had accused him of theft, and had
caused him to be exiled to Okhotsk,
in Eastern Siberia. As the crime of
which he had been accused could not
be established he was sent off AS a
free exile" that is, he was not kept
prisoner or bound to penal service
in the place of his destination. For
thirty-eight years he worked in Ok
hotsk as a tanner, and saved some
money. Having attained his seven
tieth year he conceived desire to re-
turn to his native land. and as he
said "to put away his little bones
among his own people when his time
is up in this world" But he was
still hale and hearty, and Travelled
all the way from Okhotsk on foot.
He was on the road twenty-five
months, and had many a narrow es-
cape from encounters with bears and
wolves. At his old home he has a
large family of children and grand
children awaiting him with open
arms.
