A DISGUSTING OUTRAGg.--On Saturday O
littlo news butcher on the Asheville and
"'r-rtanburg Tassengsr train was made the
'ic'im Vi ON outrage upon justice and
humanity. anathe guilty parties should be
severely dealt with or at ltast o full inves-
hsation had by the proper authorities.
1t seems that when tho train reached
Pacolet on Saturday rough looking man
standing on the platform called the little
butcher and told hiGl he wanted a morning
paper, handing him dime. The train was
just s'arting, and the little fellow could not
make the change As he stepped aboard he
handed tho fellow another paper, and told
him 10 hand it back 10 him on the down trip
and he would give him his change. The
fellow, WHO was the worse for liquor, it is
said, cursed the boy vigorously rs the train
pulled away.
Yesterday on the down trip Conductor
Chase received telegram that n crowd of
rufhans were at the depot and meant trou-
Bile for the little boy. Knowing tho boy to
be rs honest as any man, the conductor
endeavored to protect him snd locked him
up in the baggage car. When they came in
to Pacolet the crowd approached the con-
ductor and asked for the boy, lie told
them they could not see him. Then they
showed out trial Justices warrant for theft,
and the conductor turned him over to tn en-.
They drgged him to the depot and the con-
dlctor wished TO know how much they
would take to settle the matter. They told
trial jnstice that he knew the BOY 10 be be
thoroughly honest. Last night he received
a message that the DO, had been finally
released upon payir g$ % and costs.
Such outrages as thi, should not be per-
mittcd in South Carolina and some one
should be made to feel the law for it.

Happenings at Jonesville.

JpSEsv!tLA, Sept. 1--we have had quite
changS7n ehe weather. IL seems that the
September gales are upon us. We have had
pup iittie rain yet, though the clouds hang
heavy and look promising We need q
good season to put the ground in order for
sowing oas. The late crops would also be
benefited by it. One thing is very plain to
be seen, and that is, the cotton crop will be
very short, and will soor be all opened
There will be no cold chilly December
winds blowing upon cotton pickers this
year.
The graded school here opened yesterday
with 62 scholars, and about 80 more yet to
come.
Professor Aycock and Mrs. Britton are
both at home in the school room, and are no
strangers 10 Jonesville We expect O fiue
school for the ensuing term.
Mr.. Samu'l T. Reid, who has been clerk

BETTER POSTPONE THE FAIR.-The State
Fair authorities are perhaps unaware of the
serious conflict of dates in regard to the fair
OF this year, VIII ch they should at once take
action to avert by postponiug the fair for ono
week.
The State fair will open on November 2
AMI continue through till Friday. The
state and national election oconrs on the 9Th,
and there are going to be issnes from ali
indications that will require every voter to
be at home on the day of election, and couso-
qnontly seriously interfere with tho at,en l.
ance at the fair.
The one object this year is to bring mo-o
people here than ever before, aud nothing
should be donc that would interfere with
the accomplishment of that end

SoUTu CAR oLINA ToBAcco.-Some time
ago The State gave some of the facts about
the tobacco farm of Mr.. A. II. Taylor near
this city, the first ever attempted in this
section, and stated that he had raised very
fine crop for the first year.
The samples sent on TO the manufacturers
seem to have been above the average, for on
Saturday he made his first shipment of an
order for 2,400 pounds, consigned to j. o.
W. Graveley at Rocky Mount, N. c., q
large manufacturer. This excellent begin
ming should show to the farmers of South
Carolina that tobacco raising iu this State is
something that should not be longer neg.

A CHEERING GN.-Mr. A. L. Crosby, in
the September number of the Southern Cul-
hpator, says: One Of the most cheering
signs of the times is the fact that this year
the South will probably grow the biggo,t
corn crop it ever grew. This means less
cotton, and Ass cotton means better prices
tor the smaller crop grown. There is no
use for an agricultural country to expect
permanent prosperity 80 long os il buys
most OF its meat, -four, corn and other food
for man and boast, when II can grow them
cheaply at home. The last crop of cotton
must have been severe lesson to many
growers after spending money, time, and
labor, on the crop, to cultivate and harvest
vt and not be able to get back what it has
cost, is discouraging state of affairs
But there is good time coming when the
South will produce oil Of its supplies, in the
way of products of the soil and also many
manufactures. Will this injure the pros
poets Of the North and West2 Not lit
the time will soon come whom the limit of
production 10 those sections will be reached
and prices will advance accordingly, and
this is one more reason why the South
should grow her own food, for If it is dis
astrous for her to buy at present very low
prices what will IL be to buy at very hiah
ones2 No, the welfare of the whole ooun,
try is best secured when every section /,

MIR. EDIToR.-I confess l was surprised
to receive only the suffrage of not quite
three hundred Of the good people of my

me if my qualifications for, or worthiuess
Of the office were to be judged by the COM
parative number Of votes l received. But
when remember that have conscientious
ly and successfully labo-od for the last 20
years to elevate aud instruct hundreds of
the precious boys and girls of Union County
many of whom ore now the honored heads
of families; when l remember that all
those, my pupils and most Of their pa 'ents,
arc my firm friedds; when remember that
my successful competitor affirmed that l
was the most worthy and deserving aspirant
for the office, l recognize that there were
! other forces brought to bear against my
election.
Since l conceived that mono but aspirants
for legislative honors need dwell on politics,
and did not deem it PROPER for me to help
widen the political chasm that painfully
existed, was styled by political fanatics

"A Cows INTELLIGENCR.-COl. /. d. Nc
Donald, of Columbia City, tells the fellow
ing story Of animal intelligence; He had
bought a lot Of stock including cow and
csf. The cow had been recommended as
one of the kindest animals. Its motherly
affection for is offspring had more than
once attracted attention. 1t never deserted
its calf, and anybody that tried 10 separa G
them was met with such piteous appeals
from the elder that nobody but a hardened
butcher could carry out q design against
the younger. The COW and calf drove along
very indiffersntly with the other catt Q
until n deep stream was reached. There
was no bridge, and tho current vas very
swift. When tho cattle plunged in they
were swept off their feet into deep water
and good many of them disappeared for n
moment.
When the COW came up her first thought
was for her calf She held her head up
out OF the water and looked about in all
directions. She did not at first see her
calf, because it had been swept several rods
down stream and was struggling in the
water. The mother at length observed
this with dismay. Instead of making for
the opposite shore, as all the other animals
had done. She plunged into the stream
and swan down below her calf. The cur
rent drove the young animal up against the
protecting bulk of the mother. Then the
mother started for the shore, her calf swim
ming along side of her in comparatively
calm water Some progress was made in
this way; but abort the middle of the
stream the current, striking the calf in the
forequarlcr, swept it behind the COW and it
foundsred down stream. The mother once
more went TO the rescue. She had to swim
clear round to the other side of her calf,
and this done she had 10 sten1v herself in
the stream, treadiDg water to hold her
nnsitin mill The calf was once mora safely
against her side, and the later then swan
safely to the eshore.-IndiaaapoiiS NeWS.
