Bogansvllls-- Farming-Its Valuable Gold
Mines.


Editor Union 7Tmes.-Bogansville still
lives, though she rarely asserts her vitality
through The press.
The farmers are now pretty we'll through
planting their crops, and from the large
amountlof Commercial fertilizers nssd this
season there must be O much greater acreage
planted than usual, or they are using more
to tho acre. Smali grain is somewhat i'm
proving, though tho prospect for good
yield Is BY no means 4 aat,ering enc. The
season at this writing is very dry and the
later p'auted crop will not make a good
stand until it rains. Our farmers OF Q put
ting in good time aud seem de ermined to
do their whole duty, and humbly confide
the result to the Dcnefcent Giver Of oil.
The Uatchword Of our tillers Of tho soil is
progress, adopting that grand ad age of
Holy Writ, "Owe no man anything but to
love one ano' 'hor." Steer clear from m rt-
cages and Liens, the Scyila and Chary5dis

pletsly wrecked. May kind Providence aid
the sturdy sons Of arduous toll to surmount
every opposing obstacle and tafely reach the
desired goal of freedom from debt, mortga-
ges aud liens.

For the TINES
Are the Three Links Joined.

Mr.. ED1roR:-I heard a gentleman rc-
mark few days ago, thst there were three
suspic 'ous liuks that may be intended to
fasten the State of South Carolina to the
Republican doctrine of Protection. At the
time i heard the remark, did not think
there was any foundation for the suspicion,
but upon reflection, am inclined to be q
little suspicious, .too and would much like
to have my suspicion removed, for / am q.
strongly opposed to the doctrine Of protection
as any Farmer, who is opposed 10 trusts,
combines and all other merconcry monopo les,
ought TO be.
If l am not mistaken, two years ago,
there was q commotion in the Democratic
ranks because Uncle George Tllman, brother
Of Capt. B r. Tllman and The C,ngressms N
now representing. g.the-Congressiooa Dis
trict, had either made a strong protect on
speech or otherwise gave such unmistakaole
evidence of his belief in the doctrine, of Pre-
lection, that anti-protection candidates for
Congress were brought out to defeat him. At
any rate, think it is understood that VIII le
Uncle George, Is sound in all other Demo-
cratic doctines, he stands on the strongest
plank Of the Republican p!atform-the protec.
ton of invited wealth.
Now I don't know how b. r. Tillman
stands upon the protection" doctrine, but a
few days ageI SAW the question asked in
Ind Capt. may be 81 right oh that Question 81 IT.
and sincerely hope he is, but ss the Char
lesion Worid, the only avowed protection
paper in this State, is now being commended
as the champion of the Tillman cause, and
the Augusta Chronicle, published just across
the State limo from where tho Capt. lives,
another stroDg protection sheet, has also
espoused the Captains cause, it does look
as il three strong protection links" had
been Joined to carry the State iu tho interest
Of trusts, combines, monopolies, &c., that
thrive only upon the protection policy of the
Republican party.
do notsay that Capt. B. R. Tillman is
knowingly the middle joint in the three
links. or that there is any collision between
the three, but everybody must see that there
is some Foundation fsr the suspicion, and, in
justice to himself aud his friends, the Captain
should plainly tell us how he stands upon
that single question.
Mr.. Eiitor, Iassure you that no captious
feeling towardNIr Tillman promps me to
make this ene,iiry; but feel it to, be
very importah matter, for there. may to
danger that. ."protection" Congressman and
Legislators mayride into position upon the
wave of State reform which now seem to be
irresitibly rolling over South Carolina. As o
democrat am, (perhaps unnecessarily so,)
suspicious of ofanybody or any thing that squints
toward a pet measure of the Republican,
party. particularly, when am satisfied
that that measure will inevitably do great
injury to tho interests Of the Farmers or any
other class Of people in the South.

LEAPHEART LYNCHED,

THE GOVERNOR.
Lexington Depot, s. c., May 5.-Willie
Leapheart, convicted Of criminally assault
ing Miss Rosa Cannon, was lynched here
this morning. The lyncbing party num-
bered about one hundred Some werc
from the country and some from town. Its
members make no effort to conceal their
identity aud openly acknowledge and discuss
the matter on the streets. The bogus detec-
tive, Foster, was iu the cell with Leapheart
when the mob entered, lie was shot in the
arm and had narrow escape from
death. BY desperate fighting he freed him
self from Leapheart's grasp aud got in anoth-
er cell. The mob forced themselves in the
cell corridor and poured volley after yolley
in the cell with little effect Lcapheart keep
ing in corner at the entrance. Three lamps
were brought and he shivered them to p eces
with stick. Five men successfully attempt
ed to enter the cell and were cracked over
their heads. Afer several hundred shots
had been fred a bullet struck Leapheart in
the head hurling aim to the floor. =. He was
then dragged out and sixteen balls from q
Winchester were fired into him. The inten-
ton was to hang him in Graham's yard, but
the mob had to kill Ii m to get him out Of the
cell. The lynching was caused by a rumor
to the effect that Graham and Deputy United
States Marshal Miller had obtained further
respite and had given the papers to Sheriff
Drafts ye'terday and th.t Leapheart was
to be transferred to Columbia. Graham and
Miller left here for Columbia this afternoon
on foot to ask The protection of the Governor.
Tho matter is very coolly discussed here.
The situation is marked by q total absence
OF excitement. The lynchers seem perfectly
willing to take the consequences of their act.

times of misfortune. On Thursday last the
members of Hopewell Alliance assembled ut
Mr.. Elmorc Meals, near Dixie, with plows
and rations, and ere the setting of the sun
on that day had planted his entire crop. Mr..
Neal, on account of the severe illness of his
wife, ut whose bedside for more than three
weeks he has watched patiently and lovingly
almost without ceasing, had been thrown
very far behind with his farm work and if
his neighbors had not have come to his assis-
tancc it would have been impossible for him
to have made much Of n crop this year.
