A Peculiar Case,

DR.. H. c. Edmunds, Of Elberton, Ga,
writes: "a very peculiar and strange case
of blood poison came under my attention q
short time ago. A gentleman came here
from Athens, Ca, where he had been bitten
on tie hand by vicious mule that he was
breaking to work The hand was in hor-
rible condition, and the Inflammation was
rapidly extending throughout his entire sys-

Walking Barrooms at Churches.

The colored population Of this vicinity
made great preparations for their district
conference which commenced last Thursday
at Liberty Hill church, about twenty miles
from Manning. The conference continued
in session until Sunday, and large crowds
attended each day, but Sunday, rs is usual,
the crowd was larger, and is estimated at
about 1890.
A meeting of this kind is looked forward
to with pleasure not only by the people that
attend but our merchants as well, as tits on
these occasions they dispose of the stock Of
toilet soaps, perfumery, fancy articles and
other such goods that are left over from their
Christmas supply, and on which there is al
ways good profit.
Business enterprise is great thing but
when it is carried on to the extent Of retail
ing damnation drops at 81 salvation gather
ing it becomes m outrageous nuisance and
violation of law and decency. We have
been informed that certain persons were on
hand at this meeting, skulking and sneak
ing about in the woods near by with bottles
of whiskey in their pockets for the express
purpose of selling same by the drink; IN
other words. these fends incarnate had con-
verted themselves into walking barrooms,
and loitered about and forced themselves
upon persons who had travelled miles to
hear the word Of God proclaimed. What is
to become of this country if such practices
as these cannot be stopped? Some say,
"Why don't you report them ?" That is the
question. We are not detectives; we hear
these things and believe them to be true
and yet we cannot go and put our hands
upon the shoulders of the parties: so we do
the next best thing, we give the alarm.
This was colored peoples meeting, and
it deserves respect as it was held under the
auspices Of their church. They should ap-
point committee and have this matter in
vestigated, and il they can get the proof, it
is duty they owe to their God, their church,
and themselves, to have these parties
brought into the courts.
Liberty Hill is not the only place in this
county where these things are carried on.
It has been said that at almost any gather
ing in certain sections Of this county there
are walking liquor saloons, and to those
that can give the sign little difficulty is had
to obtain any quantity that is desired.
Wake up people! For the sake Of the
young form yourselves into committees and
resolve to put stop to the violations OF the
laws that honorable people are pledged to
uphold.

A Murder Near Gourdins.

Last Saturday Mr.. Henry Browder, one
leg veteran of the late war, came to Man
ming in the capacity of constable for Trial
Justice Gordon, of Williamsburg county
Mr.. Browder says that he was looking for o
negro (whosc name We could not learn) who
had committed q murder on Mr.. n. T..
Pittman's plantation, near Gourdins, one
day last week. The murdered mans name
was Green Capers, and it appears that Ca
pers and the other colored man had fight
in field some time during the day, and that
Cape1s got the best of it. When he saw Mr..
Pittman that night he told him about the
fight and expressed his regrets, as it was
against the orders of Mr.. Pittman to allow
any fighting on the plantation. Mr.. Pitt
man said that be hoped it would not occur
again. Capers said goodnight, and started
for home, when the murderer, who was in
hiding near by, rushed upon him with a
knife and stabbed him in the breast, and
then fed. Mr.. Browder had reasons for
thinking that the assassin had come to
Manning. but when he reached here moth
ing could be learned of his whereabouts.

for some tine been unwell, having several
years ago been affected with partial paraly-

usual health, and lying down, when he
complained Of an uncomfortable feeling
and a difficulty of breathing. He got up,
and walked out on the piazza for fresh air.
He got no relief, however, and in less than
two hours he died, probably Of paralysis OF

by his many friends for his sterling quail
ties. He lived life of Quietness, never
seeking any political preferments.
He was buried at Richmond church, Will

covered in the kitchen and an alarm was
Immediately given. Some hands on Alder

themselves to the contents and by hard
work managed to save some of the furniture
although much damaged. All Of the furni-
ture that was upstairs together with the
books, papers, and much of the clothing
was destroyed.
The house was two story building and
was only insured for $500, about one-third

That corruption always brings.

To its principles and aims
Will most surely and securely
Tear from US our CALLING chains.

We support the Ship of State
Shall We meekly and completely
Bow our necks to further wrong?
Shall we blindly and supinely

Shall the wealthy and the lordly
Tap our veins for further blood?
Shall We nourish, that it flourish,
All this vile and grasping horde?
Let US, rather, join together,
That our rights we may maintain,
That this giant, so defiant,
May be numbered with the slain
Let US rally, hill and valley;
Press and pulpit, urge our cause!

Instead Of $4,000 acres of red lands as
stated in your last issue, said there was
$4,000 acres of swamp lands. and not more
than 1000 or 1,200 acres of red land in
Fulton. Very respectfully,

for the above mistake. Maj. Richardson was
seated near us at the meeting and we un-
derstood him to say ], 200 acres ofred lands,
and SO put it down, but to be sure we were
correct, as it seemed very small quartty,
we asked him if he had said l,20O acres. He
said, mo; l said 1900 acres. but You had
better p1t it l3,000" We then made the
change from 1900 to 10000 1t is evident
he was thinking Of swamp lands and we of
