1t gives US pleasure to announce that our
young fellow townsman, Prof. j. Scott
Murray, has been elected Professor of
Greek in Mercer University at Macon,
Ca, and will begin his duties at the open
ing of the fall session. Both the Greek
and Latin Professorships were vacant, and
there were seventy-5ve applicants for the
position. The election of Prof Murray
was therefore very complimentary, and
he is being warmly congratulated by his
friends. In securing Prof. Murray's SER
vices the Board of Trustees could not have
done better.
Columbia Register: ga very novel and
intricate question is just now puzzling the
executive mind, and possibly the aid of
the proverbial Philadelphia lawyer may
have to be called In to solve 1t. Some
time ago one Andy Sudler was canoeing
in the Savannah River mid.stream or
and Anderson County, South Carolina.
While enjoying the pleasure of his trip he
was shot ut by Mr.. Joseph Simpson from

the court of Hart County, Georgia. and
made complaint, and the grand jury on
the 9Th OF June returned true bill against
Mr.. Simpson, charging him with assault
and battery with intent to commit murder,
and requisition was issued by the Gov
ernor OF Georgia for the arrest end ar!
raignment of Simpson before the Georgia
cC arts. In the meantime Simpson had re-
ceived notice Of the criminal case against
him in the Georgia courts, and had writ
ten to Governor TillmRn to the effect that
he did the shooting, but he did the act In
Andersen County, In this State; that Sud-
ler was nearer the South Carolina shore
than the Georgia shore, and that II he was
to be tried on criminal charge he must
be tried where the alleged crime was COM

We spent Saturday and Sunday in our
neighbor town, Abbeville, and while there
was the guest of Editor Wilson, of the
ever old reliable and interesting Press and
Banner. To say that our visit was most
enjoyable one feebly expresses it, for We
never fail to enjoy ourself or learn some
valuable information while In the COM
pany Of brother Wilson, who Is justly re-
cognized as one Of the best country jour-
nalists in the South, and then, too,s We
we are always glad to greet. While Ab-
beviile is not progressing rapidly, sha is
APPARENTLY holding her own. The G. G.
4 N. R. r. is now completed, and running
two through trains each way daily. This
road is most valuable addition to the
town, and ought to stir up her citizens to
renewed energy, zeal and progress.
Among the Anderson boys who have
adopted Abbeville as their home, We had
the pleasure Of meeting Messrs. Chas. D.
and Scott Brown, F. A. Spellman, J. O.
Cox and DR.. Frank E Harrison. The
frat named is. the r. & D. r. r. agent,
and Is assisted by mis- brother. We heard
some very high compliments paid him
for the courteous, accommodating and eff
cient manner in which he discharges his
duties. Mr.. Spellman is head salesman
for Heath & Co., the leading firm of the
town. and is highly esteemed by his
friends. Mr.. Cox says he is pleased with
Abbeville, and has made many friends
there. Dr.. Harrison is practicing medi.
cine, is very popular with the people, and
we were glad to learn that he Is succeed.
ing finely. The Doctor has recently took
unto himself a most charming life COM
panion, and, of course, is happy and con-
tented. It always gives US pleasure to
hear q good report Of Anderson boys,
wherever they cast their lot. We feel
very grateful to Editor Wilson for his
kind and courteous treatment. The only
fault we find in him is that he still clings
to the life OF bachelor. BE needs
help-mate, and we are glad to know chat
he Is still hopeful of securing one. We
believe If some good woman wonld ap-
proach him in the right manner, she
could easily capture him.
