Attempted Highway Robbery With
No Names Mentioned.


Saturday one of Freedom Townships good
farmers came to Napoleon and got on a
wholesome jag, not starting for home until
after night-falL Arriving at Bostelman's q
corners he decided to take on little more
and entered saloon for that purpose. He
had large wad of bills and naturally did
some considerable fourishing of the same
while settling the bill.
He attracted the attention of the whole
house, especially two rufians whose reputa-
tions never we're of the first water.
The saloon keeper noticed this, and be-
fore the drunken man left, indncei him, on
the quiet, to leave his money in his care.
The man had been homeward bound but a
few minutes before he was accosted by one
of the individuals before mentioned who
asked for ride. His request was granted.
They had driven few rods when the ruffian
attempted to purloin the contents from the
drivers inside pocket.
He was promptly kicked out, but no SOON
or done than the other would-be Robin
Hood rushed from the darkness and at
tempted to climb in the wagon. He was
given like dose Of fist and whip, and the
wagon being temporarily freed, the whip
came down with emphasis on the horses
backs causing them to dash swiftly by, leav-
ing the law-breakers frustrated.
ALI the parties are well known, so our in
formant stated, but any amount of "coax-
ing" on our part failed to induce him to di-
vulge names, as the affair will be hushed up,
If possible.

THE WORLDS HOLIDAYS.
Two Occasions That Are Universally
Observed Among Civilized
Nations.

Christmas ana new ear
Day have a common interest
with every civilized nation ex-
tant. The one originates in
Divinity, while the other is, to
a certain extent, the creation
of man alone as a means OF
measuring time; the one, the
birthday of Christ-the other,
the birthday of another year.
For 1890 years both have
been observed, still the inter
est and JOY attendant to their
return each year do not
wane,-instead, they are al
ways on the increase. In A
merica, where civilization has
reached it's acme, where all is
being got out of life that is
s'in it., these great days re-
,ceive due respect in many dlt-
ferent ways, more marked in
cities than in town like Ma
poleon. For instance, in Gin
-cinnati last year the Clncinna-
ii PosT assisted by the good
citizens of the Queen City, as
sembled together fully 5000
fatherless and penniless waits
in Music Hall and, after Civ
ing them a good supper, sent
all home IN the street cars,
each carrying a substantial
present and a bag of sweet
meats. "Christmas is a day. .
said Cincinnati's people,
"when both rich and: poor
should take comfort in max
ing others happy And this
was their way in SO doing
Napoleon is not a metropo-
lis like Cincinnati; also our
"penniless" and ''fatherless"
are few in numbers, yet there
are ways of making each other
happy. With this end in view
Saur s Balsley are making
preparations to place it with
in the reach of all to manifest
token Of friendship by the pre-
sentation of esteem in a tan
gible form. The object of this
firm has always been to fur
nish it's patronage with the
largest assortment of holiday
goods in it's line that the
county contains, and, as bust
mes has increased so have the
facilities until, during the Hol-
lidays Of 1891 they will give
you an opportunity to select
from an immense and tasty
stock.
To enumerate or go into de-
tails is impossible and even
an attempt to SO do would con-
sumo much space and then do
the stock itself an injustice.
You must call and examine
look upon the pretty things of
life, which, although dear to
the eye and taste, can be pur-
chased at a mere nominal fig
ure. Neither do the attrac-
tions cease with the Holiday
counters and shelves. As
headquarters for the purest Of
drugs most scientifically COM
pounded, a complete stock Of
patent medicines, books, sta
tionary, paints, oils, varnishes,

ronage Of this house.

We had steady fall of rain the entire
day Sunday, accompanied by strong
wind during the night, which blew out
the cotton that was nnpiCkcd and other
wise damaging it.
If the Alliance would stop mingling so
much in politics and get down TO business
whereby some plan could be gotten up for
the bettcriaent Of the pOor. down.trodden,
oppressed farmer, We think more good
would be accomplished than they arc
doing at present. What good has it done
so far towards helping the laboring class
of people? Take for example the low
price Of colton-why don't the Alliance
come to the rescue and stand shoulder to
shoulder and help one another to hold
their cotton for better prices? Some
thing must be done az once or the ALI.
ance will follow in the wake of its down

There is general exodus of farm
hands-mostly white--who are leaving
this section for the factories-Pelzer aud
Piedmont. They say they cannot raise
cotton at tho present price, pay the custo-
certainly leave the land-holder in de-
plorable fix, as egro labor is scarce and
can hardly be depended upon.
A year or 80 ago, as Mr.. G. M. Buchanan
was draining OFF the pond at Majors Mill,
on Generostoe Creek. he fished up en- old
army musket that was probably thrown
in the creek during the war. twas loaded
with "mn1ic' ball, end was in sound
state of preservation when found, only
spring in the lock being broken. The
question is, by whom was that gun thrown
il the creek1
A goodly humber Of our neighbors at
tended the Augusta Exposition and re-
port an exceedingly pleasant trip. One of
the "curiosities" seen there by one Of our
citizens, was machine that would
plough and hoe cotton both at one opera:
ton. and only going once to row. II
this be true-which must be, as our neigh
boris veracity cannot be doubted-we can
say the long debated labor problem has been
solved, and the farmers can rest at ease.

We are glad, indeed, to know that our

that if q young COW, (heifer) has wart on

changing the namo of an old cow. How
ever, do know that Piercetown has
had wart-yes. 8, multiple of warts-on

get rid of them, and now what Is the re-

kind of liniment Is not applied pretty

not say he saw ghost, but said he saw

Mr.. James Moorhead. of Pickens Coun-

warmly greeted by his old friends. Mr..
Moorhead's father was one of the Com
missioners that selected the Court House
site for Anderson County, and, though
small boy at the time, he recollects the
circumstances very well. For long
time the Commissioners could not agree
upon location. One day they met with
the determination of settling the matter,
and had visited several places near here.
About IL o'clock they reached the present
site Of the Court House, which was then
an old pine field, and here they decided to
eat dinner and talk over the subject of To-
cation. A good crowd had gathered on
the grounds, and Mr.. Moorhead, with sew
eral other boy companions, were sitting
in wagon, near where the railroad
bridge now ntands on Main street, in
charge of the csinner baskets of the Com
missioners. Presently he and his COM
panions were instructed to bring the din
ner up into the old field. They did 80,
and, while eating, the Commissioners
still argued the question of site. FL
nally, after finishing his meal, Mr.. Moor
heads father arose, and, having pointed
stick in his hand, stuck it into the ground,
at the same time remarking that this
would be one of the corners of the Court
House building" In q few minutes the
question was settled, and to-day the Court
House stands on that spot of ground.
